TO INTEREST AUTO OWNERS
 IN CONSTRUCTION ROAD

Little Rock, Sept. 4.-Letters have been sent by the Little Rock Motor Club to automobile owners in the county seats between Little Rock and Fort Smith, urging them to join in the movement to construct modern highway to connect these two cities.
 It was pointed out that the high way from Little Rock to Memphis would soon be completed, giving macadam road the entire distance, thus bringing much travel into the state, which would go west through Fort Smith if there was road to attract them that way.
 1t is probable that a meeting will be held soon to take definite action on this project.
