OLD MEN AT WORK.

There is a movement afoot among some of our manufacturers and offio, managers to have greater considera ton for the man beyo1 d forty.
 Some of them have given old men jobs formerly held by boys and girls.
 This movement is of practical value to the nation. The experience and Judgment of men advanced beyond forty" is of more value to any insti- tuition than the unbridled enthusiasm but bungling inexperience of youth.
 Besides, many of our old men have responsibilities resting on their shoul- ders; youth has not.
 Give these men square deal.

THE AUTO TAX.

The more we think about the pro posal to give to the state the entire sum collected for auto licenses, the less we like it. Senator Caldwell has proposed 2 measure to increase the tax to $11. and providing that SD shall go to the county in which tho tax is collected to be used for road work, and $1 to the state for the sup port of the highway commission. un- less some better plan IS offered, the Caldwell bill should be adopted.
 One of the arguments used i'll sup port of the proposal to give the entire auto tax to the state ,s that it would provide fund sufficient to enable Ar kansas to obtain federal funds for road building. On the face of the pro- position, this seems an excellent plan, but there are other things to be con- sidered.
 All the good roads in Arkansas have pccu tOuotl uCtSu uuuCl lAe iHiPio o'S ment district plan, owners of land on the road and adjacent thereto defray- ing the cost. In a little while the counties must take over and maintain these roads. Giving ths counties th, auto tax will help to defray the cost of maintenance.
 It doesn't seem exactly fair tha: after Jefferson county has invested millions in good roads. it should be called upon to give up money needed to maintain these roads for the build ing of highways in section which have not displayed tho progressiveness and we-help-ourselves- spirit eyinced by property owners of this county.
 If the United States government had offered te contribute half the cost of building roads in Jefferson, or it would do so now, the people of this county would gladly match dollars with Uncle Sam until every road in Jefferson q ounty would be a hard surface road.
 Wouldn't it be fairer to adopt the Caldwell bill, and let the property ing of highways in seq ,ons which have the construction of roads with gov ernment aid contribute the remainder of the cost? We shall think so until some better plan is suggested.

CHOICE OF POTATOES
 FOR USE 0N TABLE
Federal Bureau Makes Suggestions to Housewives Regarding Selec.
 tiOn Of ssSnudSN


 The following suggestions to house. wives by home economic specialists of the United States department of agri- culture are made in regard to the se- lection of potatoes for table use:
 In purchasing potatoes for table purposes the following points should be kept in mind: First, that smooth potatoes are more desirable than rough ones, because they are more easily prepared, and less loss is in- volved in the pairing. Second, that tu- bers which have been exposed to light for any considerable period soon ac- cuire more or less acrid taste; for this reason, newly harvested potatoes, if mature. are preferable for the win tcr's supply to those which have been kept for any considerable period un- der unsuitable conditions. Third, that very large potatoes are not especially desira ble. partly on account Of the greater length of time required to cook them uniformly, and partly be- cause they are often very variable in texture. Fourth, a good potato should be firm and crisp when cut. and a thin cross section when held between the eye and the light should show relatively uniform distribu- ton of starch turnout its whole area, as opposed to large. translucent, watery. central area which denotes a lack of starch in this portion of the tuber. The even distribution of starch insures greater uniformity in cooking and in texture of the flesh when cooked.
 If lot is not uniform it is often worth while to sort them and use the large ones with roast meats, or at other times when the oven need not be especially heated. and save the small ones for occasions when quick cooking is more convenient. When the potatoes are very large, or time is pressing, it is often desirable to in crease the surface exposed to the heat by cutting them in pieces before cook ing. in spite of the fact that this slightly increases the amount of nu- trients lost. If they are pared and cut into small cubes or thin slices. they will cook very quickly and may then be creamed, masheS or served in other ways.
