friends say they would have voted for the roads if the bill will only stipulate the definite ! amount of tax per acre that would have to be paid each year-a thing which even the Government will tell them is absolutely impossible.
 The U. s. Government is put ting it's millions of dollars into the building of these roads and is virtually begging the people to wake up and break away from the foolish opposition. It's a pity that our Monroe county farmers cannot see the folly of refusing the thousands of dol lars NOW offered them by the Government to help build these roads. The progressive farmers of other sections are gladly talk ing hold of the work and getting millions of dollars of money for their roads that is actually con- ing out of the pockets of our people and of those, who like ttem, are blindly refusing Gov ernment aid.
 The Government experts know exactly what it is costing the Monroe county farmers to haul their products to and from the farm oyer our make believe roads. They know what it is costing the farmers of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and other states with good roads. The Govern ment says the cost is 8 cts. per ten miles over real roads and IS cts. on up, over the average roads our farmers are travelling over.
 Since the Government is in- sisting and demanding of our farmers the greatest efficiency in both producing and handling their products. so essential in winning the great worlds war, it is encouragement to note the patriotism of our farmers who are appearantly beginning to glamour for real roads. even if they do cost money.
The Brinkley argus., 1918-06-07
Among the Farmers

The farmers are waking up fast on roads and Pm guessing if they only had another chance to vote on a system of permanent roads that they'd put it over by a big majority flor roads.
 Three years ago the Brinkley business men endeayored to or ganize the greatest road district ever attempted in Arkansas. They sent to Washington and se- cured from the U. s. Road De- partment, engineers and practi- cal road builders who came here and surveyed the proposed dis trict ct-which extended out in every direction on which a road ex- tends from Brinkley, some or $ miles. They even prepared the maps and blue prints with estl- mates of the costs of each mile of road. In addition to this the Brinkley good road enthusiasts had a sample mile of the identl- cal roadsbuilt here in Brinkley, by these same U. s. Government road builders in order to prove up everything. This was done in the sincere hope that our good farmer friends would see the earnest intent and desire of the Government, as they insist that Road Districts be formed and permanent roads built. The U. s. Government was able to show to the people that there is ab- solutely NO OTHER WAY to build these hard roads than as was planned by the proposed district.
 Many, many good farmer

Human DEVELOPMENT.

Man has been on the earth perhaps
some twenty odd thousand years, and
1t Is only the last three thousand that
we are much concerned with. To sup
pose that modern Engllshman must.
necessarily be at n higher stage Of
mental development. than an ancient
Greek is almost the same mistake as
to argue that Browning must be a
better poet than Wordsworth because
he came later. If the soul, or the
brain, of man Is developing, it is not
developing as fast or so steadily as
all that.--Gihert Murray In the Cen
fury Magazine.

How Mosquitoes Hatch.

We have all heard about the mosqui-
to's habit of laying its eggs on the
surface of still water in the form of
n raft, which floats about until hatch
ing time arrives. But ii is only some
species that do that. In the Catskill re-
gion, and elsewhere among the noun
tains of the North and East, there Is
II kind Of mosquito that deposits its
eggs during July in dry ho!lcws In
the ground. When the following
spring arrives the SHOWS melting from

and in May the eggs hatch out.

HINTS ON CAR LuBRIcATloN
Not Enough Attention Is Given 70 Mat.
ter by Drivers Of Maehines-
Drain the Crank Case.

Dy II. L. THOMSON, Oklahoma Expers.
ment Station,
Not enough attention is given by
drivers of automobiles to the chang.
Ing Of the lubricating oil in the crank
case. Fresh oil Is poured In the crank
case from time to time, but no thought
Is given to what happens to this OIL.
The oil breaks down into gum and
carbon MS it wears out, neither Of
which will lubricate. Pouring fresh oil
into this mixture simply dilutes 1t.
There is also water. which will sepn.
rate from oil into the bottom Of the
crank case, as well as dirt and ma.
terial which will have tendency to
clog up the strainer Of the oil pump
and cause serious trouble.
Once In every 1000 miles the crank
case should be drained of oil and The
oil strainer cleaned. A gallon of kero-
sene is put in and engine run Tor
about minute, and the Kerosene
drained off. 1t is surprising how black
and dirty this kerosene will be. and
what dirt 1t will bring out with 1t.
Ihen Wnen IreSn OIL Is put IN tne
crank case the engine has a clean oil.
Under such treatment the bearings will
stand up for long time without TAX
ing up. The wear on the whole inter-
nal mechanism of the motor will be
much less. In addition to this, the
driver will save many dollars in fuel
bills. Friction is greatly increased On
the inside of the engine when carbon
and gum are present in the lubricant,
and 1t will take more power to run
IN engine, and the engine will have
less power to drive the car. Changing
the oil as often as this is apparently
an expensive procedure. but really IL
the cheapest insurance for long life
that the engine can have.

Few Non.Ita!ian Popes.

Italians, but there is no national lin.

Clement VI was another Frenchmnn

III was Spaniard named Borgia and
was uncle to Alexander VI. These are
