PRIMARY MAY NOT BE
 HELD IN ALL COUNTIES
Searcy County Committee Chairman Says None Will be Called in
 His County.

Little Rock, March 16-The action of the Democratic State Central Con- mittee in calling primary for April IA for the selection of candidates for the constitutional convention at the election to be held June 26 is being construed by some as optional and not mandatory. It is probable that there will be no primary in some of the counties.
 J. G. Ferguson, deputy superin1 tendent of public instruction, is a candidate for delegate from Searcy county, and is also chairman of the county central committee. He says that it is not his intention to call a meeting of the committee, and that so far as he is concerned there will be no primary election in his county. He does not consider the action of the sttae committee as binding.
 Another question raised is the fil- ing of pledges under the corrupt practice act, which each candidate for any office is required to do thirty days before an election. There is not sufficient time between this and the primary for candidates to comply with the law.
 Another question is the applica tion of the law passed in the closing days of the legislature, and signed yesterday, of which MT. Waggoner of Lonoke is the author, requiring the publication of affidavits of cor porate connections by candidates The law says nothing about a pri. mary, and it is held that the act cannot be made to apply to candi. dates running in the primary.

HOW FARMER WAS CONVERTED
Conversion Began When He Realized
Value of Good Roads in Lesseninq
Cost of Transportation.

When the good roads campaign fol-
lowed close upon the wider use of au-
tomobiles many farmers grumbled
about the prospect of high taxation,
which they ascribed to an endeavor
to benefit city motor owners at the ex-
pense OF the rural community.
When the farmer began to buy au-
tomobiles himself he experienced a
change of heart. His conversion real
ly began when he realized the value
of good roads in lessening the cost of
transportation to himself. Rural mail
delivery helped, the roads had to be
better so that the carrier could "get
through"
The farmer should be even more
fully reconciled to the good roads de-
velOpment when he learns, as he may
that large percentage of the license
fees paid by both city and rural au-
tomobilists goes straight into the good
roads fund.
In the United States, 80 per cent
of the license money goes into the
building and maintenance of state and
country roads, and this sum defrays Z
per cent Of the total for road and
bridge building. Steps in this direc-
ton have already been taken by most
of the Canadian provinces, and good
roads expenditures are gradually on
the increase along with the increase
in the number of automOl lies.

SUGGESTION FOR GOOD ROAD
Easy Way to Put Roof on Dirt Road Is
to Keep It Dragged After Drain
70 ing and Dragging.

A correspondent of an eastern agri-
cultural paper suggests that, inasmuch
as it is water which makes bad roads,
the easy way to have good roads is to
put a roof over them. There is this
TO be said for his suggestion, that if
roof were put over our country roads,
it would not only keep water off of it,
but would give us nice, shady drive
during the six months of the year when
we would appreciate it. The trouble
is that the cost of putting up such
roof as he has in mind and maintain
ing 1t, would far exceed the cost of
making a really first-class hard-sur-
faced road, which would need no roof.
The easy way to put roof over the
dirt road is to keep it properly dragged
after itshas been. drained and graded,
says .Wallace's Farmer. Water is the
most accommodating thing in the
world. 1t will run off if you will give
it half chance. D. Ward King, the
apostle of the split-log drag, put the

SPY THEIR FRUITS"

| For the benefit of those who may
include the Christian Scientist among
those who were offended by the sensa-
tionai advertising of the Baptist re-
vival hand bill and in answer to an
article by the pastor of that good de-
nomination | should like to say that
in no way are the Christian Scientists
offended by this unwarranted attack
by one who apparently is so little in
formed on the subject of Christian Sci
ence and Christian Scientists. The
followers of this denomination are not
offended neither are they afraid, so
well do they know that these thrusts
are blessings in disguise and when
they cease to come they will cease
to bless"
Christ the Truth and example for
each and every Christian Scientist has
said, "In this world his followers
would experience prosecutions for his
names sake" In the knowledge that
perfect Love casts out hate and fear,
and in the experience of that perfect
Love we find no place for offense, but
instead, song of gratitude that we
have enough of the Love of Christ to
be able to love our enemies and to

The Great MeItinn Pot

The public school is the best-knowr
and most relied upon melting pot that
America has; it is tradition that the
five-year-old Slav, Czech, Italian
French, German, British and other
strangers" enter the public school to
come out after a dozen years quite
Americanized or well on the way to
being so. But this function of the pub
lie school as a melting pot for the ra-
clal elements is always considered in
its relation to the pupils only, while it's
relation to the teachers is in reality
even more interesting. Superintendent
+. r. Spaulding of the Minneapolis
public schools tells us that the 44S
teachers appointed to that city's teach
ing staff during the last two years rep
resent % nationalities. Only 81 per
cent of the teachers appointed are
of American, English-American or Eng
lish parentage. Fifteen per cent are
OF Norwegian or Swedish parentage, IL
per cent of German. per cent of Irish,
4 per cent of Scotch and 2 per cent of
French parentage. The Spanish Rus
sian, Jewish, Danish and Bohemian
races are other elements represented
by competent teachers in the Minneap-
oils schools.

One on the judge.

A judge, who used to wear very long
waving hair and heavy beard, one
day was on his way to court when he
was accosted by little street boot
black, with an exceedingly dirty face
with the customary "Shine, sir?" He
was very importunate and the judge
being impressed with the terrible
state of the boys face, said: 81 don't
want shine, but if you'll go and wash
your face, I'll give you sixpence.
"All right, SIR" "Well, let me see you
do it," The boy went to a neighbor-
ing fountain and made his additions.
Returning, he held out his hand for
the sixpence. The judge said: "Well,
you earned the money. Here it is"
But the boy said: Il don't want your
money, old fellow. You can, take it
and have your hair cut" and forth

His BRIGHT Idea

When the European war was in its
infancy hangers back" found them
selves continually taken to task. A
grocer's clerk, calling for the usual or
der, was scornfully asked why he was
not answering his country's call.
Thinking he could see good customer
slipping away, an excuse was desper-
ately urgent. Fortunately an incoming
customer relieved the position, and a
happy idea came his way: Madam, -
he replied, perhaps if 1 told you I've
not all my toes on one foot you would
scarcely believe it," This aroused the
sympathy of the woman, whereupon he
got an increased order. Upon telling
her husband of the young mans mis-
fortune he cOOlly asked: "Well, have
you?" The feelings of the good lady
can be better imagined than described.

The Samaritan Widows FLAG.

A good many formalities must be OBJ
served by the women of Sumatra be-
fore they can lay aside their Widows
weeds. Immediately after the hus-
bands death the disconsolate widow
places flagstaff in front of her door,
and on this a flag is raised. AS long
as the flag remains uniform by the wind
etiquette forbids her to marry, but with
the appearance of the first rent she
can lay aside her mourning garb, begin
to take notice, and to receive offers Of
marriage. 1t would seem, therefore,
that much depends on the strenuous
ness of the season, the favorableness
of the gales, and the quality of the
material used in the construction of
the flag.
