The Prescott Red Cross Chapter thanks to few or our faithful men and women, now ranks among the largest in the entire state and com pares favorably with the chapters in the larger cities The required num- Der of members have been secured to get charter and has been exceeded by over 200, making a total of over 700 paid up members. The Prescott chapter also includes Nevada county. $1.00 has been paid in by each mem- Der and about POO members paid in S1.OO extra to have the Red Cross Magazine sent to them for one year. We are truly proud of this splendid showing and too much cannot be said in commenting the workers who gave their time and energy toward getting chapter in Prescott, also the readi- ness with which the people responded in joining. In other words it goes to show that when Nevada county is convinced of the importance of a pro- position they are quick to respond
 Let us not stop here, but forge ahead in this work which means the better ment of humanity as a whole, and help the chapter in every way pos sible when it opens headquarters.

GOVERNOR INSPECTS NEW
 ROAD TO CAMP PIKE

Little Rock, Sept. 27.-Gov. c. H. Brough, in company with Highway Commissioner w. B. Owen, Hugh Carter, engineer of the highway de. partment, and others Wednesday vis- tied Camp Pike for the purpose of in- spectlng the road which is being con- structed to the camp under the super vision of the Highway Department This road, five and three-tenths miles in length, is the third project to be constructed under the Shackleford act. The other two are in California.
 The portion inspected Wednesday is the quarter of a mile that is being surfaced with Warrenite, an asphaltic composition. Gov. Brough stated af- ter the inspection that he was de- lighted with this road, and believes it will solve the traffic proposition to Camp Pike. The balance of the road will be treated in the same manner, a quarter of a mile at a time being closed to traffic while the filler is ap- piled.
 Gov. Brough was especially de- lighted with the services that have been rendered by the 100 convicts en- gagged in this work. He has asked the penitentiary commission to permit the convicts to be worked there until the road is completed. The convicts are quartered in big tents, equipped with shower baths and other conven- fences.
 The road to Camp Pike was macad- amized some time ago, but the heavy army trucks have ground most of the rock into dust and much new stone has to he rolled in before the Warren ite can be applied. Over 5000 vehicles pass each way every day on this high way, most of them heavy army trucks.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 27.-At the opening session of the Missouri Bar Associations meeting here today, dis cussion centered on plans for moving the county court house and city hall uptown.
 Deli D. Dutton, secretary of the Kansas City Bar Association, and a member of the state organization, is behind resolution which he hopes to see passed for agitation of the pro- posed change.
