Play That Helps.

Play that leads the children to use
their own ideas and perhaps also to
make their own toys Is infinitely to
be preferred to amusements that offer
no stimulation to their imagination.
In family where word games were
liked the mother saved all the news
papers that had large black letters
and let the children cut the letters out
neatly. An envelope was labeled for
each letter, and all the "A's" put in
one, all the "B's" in another and so on.
Then squares Of cardboard were cut
out and the letters were pasted on.
Material for q game was economically
supplied thus, and extra occupation for
the children, too. Another time some
paraffin was given to them to mold.
1t was first put in the oven until in a
workable condition. Beginning with
marbles and blocks, the children soon
attempted more ambitious modelling,
to their own pleasure and advantage.

II Has Been Suggested That Great

Made II the Three Road Dis

Forrest City.

Forrest City. -
The commissioners of ST. Francis
County Road Improvement No. 3,
Messrs. James Craner, T, B. Green and
j. ID. Baugh, held their first meeting
in the offices OF Morrow & Harrelson
AT Forrest City, at which time the men,
bers if the commission took their oaths
of office and the board was organized
by the election of J. d. Baugh presi-
dent and DR.. ]. o. Rush, secretary.
Morrow & Harrelson were employed
as attorneys for the district and the
firm of Herring & Schellhous were des-
ignated as the consulting engineers.
It was further decided that the wo'k
of road building and improvement in
district No. 3, which comprises the
territory in ST. Francis county lying
east of the st. Francis River and south
of the Rock Island Railroad, would
begin just as soon as the preliminary
steps Of organizing the district and
negotiating the sale Of the bonds
could be completed.
1t has been suggested that great
saving to the taxpayers could be made
if the three road improvement districts
of st. Francis county could arrange
10 coordinate their efforts and labors
and carry on the work Of road build
ing forward as a unit and upon a com
prehensive and cooperative plan.
The citizens Of Cross county held a
big mass meeting last week at Wynne,
at which time, it is reported, plans
were perfected through the organiza-
ton Of road improvement in that
county to build a road from Wynne
&c Srringdale and that Messrs. Lund
& Hill of Little Roc. were. employed
as the consulting C-Igineers, Whe will
in conjunction with certain Memphis
Influences make an effort to have the
road running via Wynne declared the
official link in the Southern National
Highway instead of the route running
via Forrest City, which has already
been declared the official route in the
log book Of the Southern National
Highway Association
In view Of this action on the part
Of the citizens of Cross county it be.
hooves those interested in the com.
pletion of good roads projects in St.

The government crop report issued
shows a considerable decrease in the
amount OF wheat, corn ahd oats on
the farms OF Arkansas on March |,
1917, as compared with the amounts
estimated in 1916 and 1915, and com
parison with the production estimate
issued In December, 1916. shows that
the production of these grains was
Also considerably less last year than
the year before.
How much Of the 1916 grain has
been shipped out OF the United States
is not estimated, but II is believed by
government officials that great part
of the crop is still in the hands OF
the brokers and others in the United
States. Roughly. the estimate shows
that about onethird of Arkansas to
tai corn crop, oneffth of the wheat,
and one-seventh Of the oats, is still on
the farms.
The report shows the estimated
wheat on farms in Arkansas March
l TO be $4,000, as compared with
100000 in March, 1916, and 276,0o0
March. 1915. The price to producers
is S1.70 a bushel, gain of G3 cents
bushel over 1916 and Of q cents over
1915.
Corn on the farms is estimated at
l4,000,000, as compared with 26,062,
600 last year, and 11,340,000 in 1915.
The price to the producer this year IS
$1.64 bushel Last year it was s103
and in 1915, S134. The percentage OF
the corn OF merchantable quality on
the farms is II. In 1916 it was "a
per cent and in 1915 ii was 50.
The estimates on oats place the
amount on the farms this year as l.,
100000 bushels In 1916 the estimate
was 2,632,OO0, and in 1915 it was l.,
100000 The March l price per bush

lay the new draft before the Senate

there would be no filibuster TO pre-

senators were pledged to vote against

Cured to mar the friendly relations

States and Colombia, instead of by the
United States only, as in the original
draft, and the amount to be paid Co
lOmbia for the separation Of Panama
is restored to $25,000,O0O. Last year
the Senate committee cut the sum TO
S15,OO0,000. In addition the commit.
tee recommended an accompanying
resolution proposed by Senator Know,
which would declare that the United
States must not be understood to be
apologizing and that there is nothing
to apologize for
Senator Know, who, as secretary of
state under Taft, negotiated a con
vention with Colombia on the same
subject voted in the committee to ap
prove the present treaty after he had
with the support of the Democrats
secured approval of the proposed resO
luton.

and pay Colombia $25,000,000. We arc
told that Colombia will furnish sub
marine bases to Germany from which
she can assail our shipping and the
Panama Canal and therefore, in the
present crisis, we must ratify the
treaty and buy Colombia off with $25,.
100000 and an apology. That we are
not properly prepared for war am
well aware, but we have not yet sunk
so low that Colombia can levy tribute
from us. We should have no more Sc
curity against Colombia's helping our
enemies after giving her $25,OOO, 600
than after refusing to do so.
