OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING
Rsther Dubious on Account of Short age of Labor-Decided Reforms
 Should Be Made.

With the shortage of labor for road making and the more general use of the roads for heavy hauling, it is like ly that the roads as they exist will not te able to withstand the hard usage, and the outlook is dubious for the au- tomobile. Many industrial companies are making use of fleets of trucks to deliver their goods, instead of subject ing themselves to the uncertainties of the railroad service and the wear and tear on the roads thus made use of is more than they can take care of. This, more than ever, makes it evident that there should be some very decided re- forms made in the matter of road building. The makeshift repairs which have heretofore been made are not now sufficient, and all new road-build- ing work should be made on the most substantial lines.

SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS
Keeping Highways Dragged Work Is Appreciated.

The secret of good roads is for every farmer to do his part in keeping them dragged, accoru1lg to the Lyman Coun- ty Farm Bureau News. County Agent Lewallen writes further: Road drag ging fits in about the best of any work on the farm, for a fellow can drag for a few hours when it is too wet to get into the field, and he certainly ap- preciates having it when it is time to go to town with the wagon or the auto. Farmers who have dragged the roads have the thanks Of all other farmers in the country and the praise of all wis itors. But the roll of honor should be increased.
 Tt seems queer that so easily con- structed an implement as a road drag can create such wonders on heavy roads. The best way to convince your self is to drag your own stretch of road. If you have already dragged it every farmer who has gone over it is talking about it and wishing to goodness that you had gone on couple of miles farther"

CONSIDER LOOKS OF THINGS
Any Number of Reasons Why Every Effort Should Be Made to Make
 Home Attractive.

'In travelling through certain sec tiou of Illinois the other day noticed that most of the homes were cheerless and desolate," Director Charles Adkins told me the other day. s'The yards were full of weeds, there were no flow CTS nor vines, and the majority of the houses were unpainted.
 ''Who would want to live in such a place? What attraction is there to keep the boys and girls on the farm? I felt like asking these people why they didn't paint up and clean up and make their homes look like something.'
 Soldiers are required to keep their equipment clean and their faces shaved because of the effect on their morale. A clean, trim-looking soldier has more self-respect and fights better than a slovenly one. The man who takes pride in the appearance of his place is better farmer and better man on that account. The whole family un- dertakes it's tasks more cheerfully and more successfully because of it. Prairie Farmer.

To Our Customers and Patrons.

During the period of the war, cur tailments by the government have been essential for the successful pros- ecution of the war policies, and all corporations serving the public have had to conform and adjust themselves to many rules, regulations and re- strictions that have made operation difficult and expensive and while in some instances small increase in rates have been made, these increases have not kept pace with the increased cost of operation.
 However, the glorious victories of our boys across the sea amply reward us for the sacrifices we have made and will no doubt be a source of real satisfaction in after years to know and feel that we have done full duty, ,cheefully, willingly and periodically.
 Much good will also result to all lines of business and to the individual citizen along economical lines due to enforced restrictions and regulations ly the government.
 The Arkansas Light & Power Com pany and operated companies like many other corporations serving the public, have tried to be liberal and fair to it's patrons and patriotic to our government and have had to contend with many obstacles due to employees being drafted, the scarcity of labor and the excessive cost of material and supplies; but now that the war is over, we hope to effect speedy re- turn to normal conditions. To this end the company called conference of all it's managers at Pine Bluff on Monday, November 18th, for the pur- pose of putting into effect revised systems of operation with view of improving the service and to seek the cooperation of the public necessary

HIGHEST TYPE OF CITIZEN
He Is the Man Who Sees Tendency of the Times and Helps Direct
 1t Correctly.

Who is he? A person who keeps his eyes open and knows what is going on, and who asserts conviction from what he sees. One may think it is very difficult, considering the complexity and multiplicity of events, to possess oneself of a governing truth from the driftwood of the rapidly passing stream of things. But that is not what he has to do. If a person has will never reach a judgment or belief. You can see such people in commu- nifty, mere peckers of bird seed, full Of vapid talk and controversy. They are no more agents of truth than Old Nick is.
 You don't have to inspect each par ticular straw to see what haystack is. You can look at it, see it's form, understand its purpose, and know all there is in haystack to know. So in life, the small facts are endless and shed no light.
 One must turn from them to the ten dency or policy and make up his mind from that. Such discovery is easier than a single fact. One cannot make up ones mind from little things, for they are endless, one suggesting an- other infinitely. So a general view that expresses tendency provides the opportunity for a conviction.
 The civic duty, then, is to get ac- quainted with the tendency of meas ure of policy, the influence it has on other things and how it affects the habits of community. This constant towering about particulars never con- structs a real faith. One has to take his stand on an axion or self-evident truth and then look out and see whether circumstance is coming to him or going from him. That is the way to get at a tendency which is the necessity habit of good citizenship. A It is the small mind that is constant ly looking for peanut facts and req sons. It is the larger mind that looks for tendencies, and the field for it's exercise includes all national, state and city affairs. A man who doesn't see tendencies<there is a poor citizen, and they are legion.-Columbus Jour- nal.

Respect Other Peoples Property.

Attention to other peoples property adds to the national wealth. The idea seems to have gotten abroad that wealth is purely personal matter. To a certain extent that is true. But wealth produces for the common good. The facts show that not dire poverty but growth and development is the oc- casion of discontent. You can do your part in the upward march of progress by teaching men that every property loss brings calamity on the community. And the principle works both ways. Men often SOW for the other man what they themselves reap. Be construc- tionist and learn to respect other peo- ple's property.

Houses From Earns.

In the growth of our towns and sub- urbs, especially in the older ones. places of several acres are frequently divided into smaller building lots, writes Helen Bowen in the House Beautiful. Such places usually have barns or stables which are often suffi- ciently we'll built and in sound enough condition to be remodeled into houses. In the present high cost of lumber and labor, the saving is worth considering, though it varies greatly in different cases. If the barn has good founda- tion, a strong, sound frame, and does not require much altering in size or shape, the saving will be considerable.

for the successful operation.

Many of our customers have inn posed upon the company in the matter of paying their monthly accounts and as results our outstanding accounts have reached an amount greater than we can afford to carry. This condi- tion has been brought about by the failure on the part of the managers and the liberality of the company to enforce the rule requiring that all ac- counts due the company be paid on or before the 18th of each month; there fore effective at once, this require ment will be enforced and all custo- mers who do not pay their account on or before the 18th day of each month will be disconnected and service dis continued.
 This rule is being enforced in all cities and towns served by the water, gas and electric companies through out the country and will be rigidly en- forced by our company hereafter. The cooperation of the public is earn estly requested to the end that no cus- tomr may be cut off.
 The complete surrender and submis- sion of the German Empire and her allies to the Stars and Stripes. Union Jack and French Flag sends thrill of pride and patriotism through ev- cry American citizen. This victori- ous ending of the war means much to the commercial and industrial interest of the United States.
 The prospective peace of Europe and the emancipation of the smaller countries from the fear of Germany guarantees prosperous trade condi- tions for years to come, and during the reconstruction days, Arkansas, with her vast natural resources, has a golden opportunity for a development greater than ever known before.
 Then let us cooperate one with an- other and make Arkansas lead all the rest.
 Respectfully,
