JACKSON COUNTY
BUILDING ROADS
Improvement District Formed
to Build Ten Miles of
Concrete Road

Newport, Jan. ia con-
crete road, eight feet in width,
is specified as the kind of paw
ing to be used in Road District
Ne. [, embracing 1912 miles
of improved road from East
Newport north through Diaz to
the GUM farm, thence east
across Village creek and Viii
lage township to near Grubbs.
The report of the engineers,
Bowman and McDearmon, as
approved by the commissioners
of the district, R. d. Williams,
r. B. Hooker and J. R. Holden,
has been filed with the County
Court.
County Judge McLain has
appointed w. NJ. Tins, Hen
dirk Williams and H. C. Muck
oils as a Board of Assessors,
and as soon as the boards as
sessment is approved by the
court the commissioners will be
ready to sell the bonds and
award the contract.
This is Jackson county's first
road improvement district, and
It traverses a district which
probably furnishes more traf-
fic than any other section of
the county. The estimated cost
IS about $4,000.
Road District No. 2 is also
being organized. It will com
prise about 40 miles of improv-
ed roads, which will extend
through Grubbs east to the
county line and south to Beed-
vile near the southern border
of the county. If the roads are
completed n this proposed dis
trict it will make an excellent
system of roads in a greater
part of the county.

BONE DRY" LIQUOR
BILL In LEGISLATURE
Senator'S Ponder and Great
house Introduce Bill To
Make Booze Curiosity

ga bone-dry" liquor law for
Arkansas that will make the
State as dry" as q powder
horn, was introduced in the
senate Monday by Senators
Greathouse and Ponder.
1t prohibits the shipment of
liquor into the State, a law that
was held constitutional last
Monday by the United States
Supreme Court, and it prohibits
the shipment between points
in the State, the possession or
storage of any liquor within
the State, and provides that
there shall be no Club lock-
ers" by requiring revocation
of charters of clubs guilty of
keeping liquor for locker
members. "
The measure, as it has been
designated by those supporting
it, is aimed at the use of liquor
for any purpose other than
medicinal, mechanical and sac
ramental, and provisions for its
use in these ways is carefully
seen after in the measure SO
that, the supporters believe,
there will be no opportunity
for getting liquor for pleas
ure" purposes.
The upper house heard two
readings of the bill Monday and
it was referred to the commit
tee on temperance at the re-
quest of Senator Greathouse.

FIRE is GREATEST
ROBBER OF RACE
Keeps Mortals Sweating to fur
nish Food For the Hun
CRY Flames

The burning up of goods or
wealth robs the human race
of much of its treasure. 1t turns
Just SO much human energy,
toll and sweat into nothingness.
If all the wealth in the world
were burned up nobody would
have anything. If half the
wealth were burned up every
body would be half as we'll off
as before. Yet many people do
not realize that they help sus-
tain the loss in every fire that
destroys property.
Many people do not realize
that they have sustained a de-
finite fire loss at the end of
every year whether or not any
of their individual property
has been destroyed by fire, dur
ing that time, and regardless
of the question of insurance.
But such is the case as every
thoughtful person can figure
out for himself. Everybody
pays the fire tax which is
tackled on tic the high cost of
living.
Fire is the greatest enemy
of human wealth. Pirates and
robbers take away wealth but
spend it again. 1t is not lost to
the race, but merely to the
owner. Fire takes away from
the owner, from the human
race and from the face of the
earth. It is wiped out forever.
Arkansas people burned up
! Cor rather let burn up nearly
two and one half million dol
lars worth CT property during
the year 1916. Most of these
fires were preventable.
Cigars, cigarette stubs and
pipes caused fire losses of $780,
600 in Arkansas during 1916.
Thousands are spent on fire
fighting and comparatively
nothing on fire prevention.

BACK UP FROM SNUB
OF GOVERNOR HAYS
Brough Leaders Go Too Strong
In Effort to Humiliate Out
going Governor
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Little Rock, Jan. 12.-Upon
Gov. Brough's request, the SEN
ate yesterday morning voted
unanimously to receive for fill
ing the list Of appointees of
Gov. Hays which were refused
by the upper house on Wednes-
day when the program to rail
road" Hays out of office was
being rushed through by
Brough leaders in the legisla-
ture.
Senator Garrett, on the floor
of the Senate, asserted that
Governor Brough requested
such action.
The upper house passed a
motion that the journal records
show that the list was filed
with the secretary Wednesday,
and that it became a part of
the Wednesdays proceedings.
There was not a protesting
vote.
The action followed on a re-
cess of an hour Immediately
after converting of the Senate
for the morning session. eau
cuses were held by the admin
istration faction, and the "olive
branch" was waved.
The steam roller was brought
into use by the Brough leaders
Wednesday when they hustled
Gov. Hays out of office two
hours ahead of time and refus-
ed to permit him to file his list
of appointments.
But the failure to receive
Gov. Hays messenger in the
senate was purely an oversight
and entirely unintentional, it
was declared on the floor of
the senate Thursday morning.
None of the senators who were
responsible for the action knew
that the governors messenger
had applied to present the mes
sage they said, although others
knew it and later Gov. Hays
made three attempts to file the
list and was each time refused
permission to file it.
In an explanation of the mat
ter in the senate Thursday,
Senator Garrett stated that
Gov. Brough had sent for him
Wednesday night and they con-
ferred respecting the incident,
which had been taken as a
slight to the outgoing chief
executive. Gov. Brough, the
senator said, asked that an ex-
PLANTATION be made.
Senator Ponder on behalf of
the "other SIDE" which had
been looked upon as the minor
ity, took the floor and accepted
the statements of the senators
who declared that the over
sight was unintentional. He
said that he was willing to ac-
cept the "olive branch" that
the slate was wiped clean and
the matter a "closed book"
He asserted that the members
were in the Senate on State
business and not to wrangle-
that if there were any fights
they should and would be con-
Quoted ''in the open" and that
the whole affair was settled so
far as he and his fellow-sena-
tors were concerned.

|PRECEDENTS in
COMPENSATION
Two Rulings Made by State
Board in Regard as to What
Shall Be Employment

Two rulings on the subject of what
can be classed as within the desig-
nation Of service OF an employer
have been handed down by the
State Workmen's Compensation act
which will serve as precedents in
cases.
In the claim of Mrs. Emanuel C.
Rhoads, Pottstown, against the Phil
adelphia and Reading railway, for
compensation for tie death of her
husband. it was found that he was
killed while crossing tracks after
leaving his train to go home. The
board says that the man was COM
PEELED to leave his train in a yard
and comments: when an employe
at the conclusion of his days work
must leave a dangerous place and in
order to reach his home Is compelled
to pass over other property of the
employer and is killed, it does not
lie in the mouth of the employer to
say that maps and measurements
show that If this employe had adopt
ed some other route he might have
escaped this injury. Compensation
laws do not contemplate such hard
and fast rules nor do they counte-
nance defenses of such refined rea-
soning. We agree with the
referee that the deceased was still
under the protection of our law"
The claim of the widow OF Henry
F. Siglin, of Scranton, for compen-
sation for the death of her husband
is upheld. Siglin was thrown from
an automobile and killed after he
had given up his seat in the car to
allow women to ride. The board
says: at cannot be said that be-
cause he was standing on the run

with the two young women that he

Uses Motorcycle With
Sidevan For Delivery

Yes, there is always something
new under the sun if we are only
keen enough to look around a bit.
For example, an enterprising oyster
house in Kansas City now uses a
special metal sidevan attached to a
motorcycle to deliver trays of oyster
cocktails to cafes, sode fountains and
restaurants.
The van is partitioned off so that
trays containing a dozen oyster cock
tails in separate glass containers
holding a dozen oysters each and
their condiments are easily and
safely carried. Each separate con-
tainer holds a little less than half
a pint.
The company reports that the de-
livery system is giving great salts
faction, and that the celebrity with
which orders can be handled has
had a decidedly favorable effect on
business.

installation of the latest and best labor saving
machinery.
This means ECONOMY.
Furthermore, Studebaker has concentrated on
the development of single basic chassis design.
The entire attention of Studebakers highly eff
cient engineering department has been focused
on the perfection of this one model.
Studebaker's great volume is centered on COM
paratively few parts
This means still higher quality and still greater
economy.
These are the reasons why Studedaker is able to
produce SO good a car at SO low price.
These are the reasons why the Studebaker SIX
is easily one of the greatest automobile values
in the world.
If real economy is your consderation-if you
want to get the most for your money-investi-
gate Studebaker before you buy.
