relations, and from his high point of view good in
dull prosaic fisherman the poor of this world and
endowed them with goodness by his belief in them. His
title gave him distinction other men, but estab

EVIDENTLY SOMETHING WRONG

1t has always been the contention of The News ard
always will be- that the people of Sprngdae should do
their trading in Springdae During Christmas wool

tours to nearby towns. On seeing this unusual state
of affairs asked the For the benefit Of orr

4 NEW YEAR PREDICTION

While everyone has a prediction to offer let The
News at this time offer the prediction that 1917 will
prove the year to try the mettle of Springdae and
Springdale citizens Unless far wrong the
ing year will the turn of the tide in affairs for
Springdale, either will make great progress
will backward Several important questions will
up before Sprngdale and her people during the
coming year that will need immediate and proper
attention. Unless it is given Sprngdale will remain
stationary at BEST with the great possibility of back
ward trend These questions will come up in due
of time, and must be handled judciousy they will
effect all inhabitants.
First An opportunity will be offered Sprngdale to
modern light and power plant, water works,
and cold storage. Unless the proper announcement is
given the promoters of this badly needed enterprise
Sprngdale will lose the opportunity.
Second. Before the year is out Springdale will be
face to face with crisis in school affairs. Already
camorings heard in the distance for school build
ing on the east side of the railroad; ward school,
to speak relieve the eongested conditions that exist
in the Grammer School building The finances Of our
schools in any good condition at the present
and plan be devised to relieve the situation,
or our school term win be eurtaed Our schools
progressing fine under the present handicaps, but
change is needed. and must come.
Third. The road proposition Is goind to hamper
Sprngdale during the coming year never before We
must to build at least east and west road
during 1917, or lose large territory that will go to
neighborng towns that are building good roads.
Fourth. Huntsville eastern neighbor, is making
strong bid for railroad They Leaving nothing
undone to secure the extension Of the X. c. NJ to
their town This road will tap of the richest fields
of undeveoped in this section of Arkansas.
Should Huntsville this road, and they will prob
ably do so, during the coming year, and Sprhgdale
not have good roadway through that section the town
will suffer big loss. An freight business
is done through Springdae for Huntsville and other
towns in Madison county and this will to Rogers in
case the railroad project is success.
Fifth. The sanitary condition of Sprngdale must be
improved during the next year. will suffer seige
of typhoid fever, other epidemic This will pro-
badly be taken of the present project for
water works and sewers is greeted with the proper
enthusiasm.
These only few of the predictions made for
the coming year but in the main these five If carried
out will mean to Springdale than anything that
has happened in the last quarter of century and
stated at the outset. Unless these predictions are
carried into effect it is possible that Sprngdale will
go backward instead of forward occurrence not de-
sired by any citizen of the town The prediction can
only be carried a successful formation by the COM
bned efforts of all; not nor set OF men can
accomplish theses things; but all are needed

DRAG. DRAG, DRAG. DRAG.

For the past few weeks the editor has had oppor-
tuny to try small portion of the roads surrounding
Springdae, and is capable of speaking with first
hand integeee with reference to the dragging of
kinds of weather. and under all conditions; twice each
day have made the trip, and in that three miles and
half of road travelled we find both dragged and
dragged road 1t is not the purpose here state who
drags the roads and who does not but it is make it
plain that the road drag is the salvation of the roads
around Springdale Along the route have travelled
during the few weeks there farmers who spend
few hours, at the proper time their portion Of the
road with drag, and that section of the road is in
five hundred cent better condition than that
of the road that is not dragged Really think that
of the best to convert of farmers
the idea of dragging their part of the road would to
let them try the road through all sorts of weather
under all conditions. Take them the road that has
never had the attention of drag then over road
that has, if there any desire in his system to better
his farm, his livestock, and his conveniences then
he will be the first to the drag. Again let us saw
drag drag. drag And not to benefit any cty Teller
who may Ford; it's for the good the farmer by
whose farm the road passes; they're the ones bene-
fitted

The value of goods may be better understood when
it is known that the average cost farmers of the

than % per ton per mile. These figures do not
include the of breaking of harness vehicles The
