NEVAOA'S END |NCRE-
 MENT OFF TODAY
Seventy-six of Neyada's Best Physical Manhood left at Noon Today for Camp Pike-Large Gathering at Station.

Nevada county today is just sev- enty-six short of her former citizens. And they are the best young men in the county. Forty per cent of the county's quota left at noon today for Camp Pike where they will be placed in the regular army.
 With but few exceptions every bus mess house in Prescott closed their doors, the special term of circuit court was suspended and everyone went to the depot to shake the hand of the boys who are going to the front.
 The ladies prepared box lunch for each one of the boys and they were given them at the City Park. Pres colt Concert Band played a number of excellent pieces and a parade was had from the City Park to the Mis- souri Pacific passenger station. There Hon. Tillman B. Parks delivered an address to the departing men. It has been said of MT. Parks that he always had the right thing to say and said it at the right time. We believe that every word he uttered at the station today made each of the boys who are going to defend their flag feel better, and that they will think of the re- marks many days after entering in their new life. MT. Parks was intro duced by Judge G. R. Haynie and spoke for about thirty minutes.

time is ripe to obtain substantial aid from the federal government in the work under the provisions of the Shackleford good roads bill.
 Many adjacent states have done much to improve their roads. This has resulted in bringing large num- bers of motor tourists into these states during the winter. Arkansas would benefit greatly from further improvement of it's highways, Cover nor Brough declares. Winter travel on Arkansas roads is delightful. es- pecially to the tourist who enjoys get ting away from the frigid blasts of the north, he points out.

OF Won HERTL|NG
(sy Associated Press.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. First
doubts whether all would be as rosy
with parliamentarism under the
Chancellor Won Hertling era as was
generally assumed are beginning to
be experienced in parliamentary cir.
cles in Germany, The report is in
circulation that Won Hertling, in con
versation with members of the
bundesrat, declared that his per-
sonal views ON parliamentarism are
unchanged in that he had conducted
negotiations with the party leaders
oulS for information and to quiet
their minds.
An authorized denial of such re-
marks by the chancellor is pub.
lished. but the fact that Won Hert-
ling has as yet made no effort to
get in touch with the Radical and
National Liberal candidates for the
posts of yice-chancellor and vice
president OF the Prussian ministry
although Won Kuhelmann, the for
eign minister, was understood by the
party leaders to have promised defi-
nitely on behalf of the chancellor
that these posts would be filled by
parliamentarians-has nurtured a
certain amount of suspicion.
The vossische zeitung points out
that the chancellor has found no
time to confer personally with any
of the leaders since his appointment,
although various leaders have asked
TO be received, and that the view is
expressed in circles close to Won
Hertling that the post of vice-chan-
cellor, for which Friedrich Won
Payer has been slated will perhaps
be left untitled
The Radical party has formally
requested Won Payer to accept the
yice-ehancellorship If rendered.
