prised and sorry to learn that X. l.:

Team. Mack has been n OF the
bright spots in the Engineering, hne-
IN in almost every game played this
season and the fact that he has tender-
ed his resignation as manager does
not necessarily mean that he Will not
be in the lineup in future games. In
fact, Mack in rendering his reslgna-
ton, gives as his reason the fact that
he feels he could put more pep lntc
his playing if relieved OF the burden oI
worries which come with the manage
ment and assures his successor, W. u.

every way possible. This didn't hap
pen until a meeting of the Engineer

had been called at which all crafts IN
the department were represented
| The idea of the meeting was to allow
Mack to resign and then to elect a new
manager, but the meeting ended in the
formation of The Engineering De

will handle all sports in which the En-

and they said that when the peti- tions were circulated for that road that not one single farmer had re- fused to sign it.
 Yes, and another thing. We found city people who were kicking on the taxes. They said the farms should pay more. So there you are. But take it all in all, those people of Se- vier are boosters and if the first road had been unsatisfactory they would never have gotten any lateral roads.
 Now there are some objectionable features about this Alexander Road Law. That we can never deny. Those people in Sevier county see it. But to wait and wait until the constitution is amended so as to bond personal property, along with real estate, may take years. As to those special road acts we hear so much about, they give more dissatisfaction than the Alexander Road Law itself.
 We covered every phase of the situ. ation that we could. We talked tc commissioners, assessors, the tax col lectors and to the farmers, and col lected some very important data, we think, and will give it to the people in later issue. Joe Lewis.

Mena Star for sometime, and for one, doubted it. But, nay, nay. It's fact.
 After supper MT. Tobin and MT. Charley Golf, who is also one of the commissioners, took MT. Johnson and I over the road leading to Horatio. The car was new Studebaker and we touched things up to about 35 per. The road was fine. The homes looked good and the people looked prosper ous Orchards, strawberry patches and soil prepared for truck growing lined the road on either side. One man has already cleared $18,000 on straw berries alone this season. This whole section indicates what Polk county must do. It must stop grow ing so much cotton and corn and raise more vegetables, fruits, berries and the like. When we do this the county will fairly blossom with wealth and beauty.
 Sevier has ' new road districts formed, running laterally from the Jefferson Highway. Four of them out of DeQueen, two out of Horatio, one out of Gillham. On the Sevier sec ton of the Bankhead Highway seven construction gangs are at wok now. We saw this for ourselves. Big trac- tors. steam shovels, graders and wagons and teams are being used pre- cisely the way our K. c. s. railway grade was made. Work is to start soon on the other highways. Those people mean business.
 The good part about it is that for the most part farmers are being se- lected as commissioners of these new highways. These were the men we talked most to-the farmers.
 On Tuesday morning Mir. Johnson and I started out and interviewed the farmers between DeQueen and Hora- tio. We found one farmer who had the reputation of being the biggest knocker in the county. This was the man we wanted. Sure enough he was knocking. But he was not knocking the road. He said it was expensive and that the farmers had too much taxes to pay. But when pinned down he said he had rather have the road and the taxes than to do without it. This man was about as tough a nut as you ever meet. At Horatio we met a crowd of farmers from off the new Iy organized district to Ben Lomond,

 boosters of all-especially those who fought the road the hardest.
 Now 1 want to clear one Polk county mans skirts of some ridicule. l have reference to w. A. Ragland. When they" and he were circulating petitions for the highway, MT. Rag land told the farmers. some tales fairy tales it seemed--about what trucks could do in the way of trans ferring truck garden products from one station to another, in case we had highways. Farmers laughed at him. But in two years after the highway is built Mir Ragland will taught at them. This is fact, and it was go- ing on between DeQueen and Horatlo the evening we reached our destina- tion.
 When we got to DeQueen we intend- ed to see the Sheriff of Sevier county and get some highway taxation data, and then start right back. But as MT. Johnson had to get his car fixed we had some extra time left or our hands. One thing took place and then another. We met Tom Jones of Mena, one furious highway booster. We ran into J. E. Tobin, who is, and has been from the start, president of the Board of Commissioners of Improvemest District No. in Sevier county We couldn't keep from it. He runs the garage where MT. Johnson got his car fixed. Well, he was the very man we needed to see for he has had the experience and it was worth listening to. At first the farmers were going to mob, string and dry him and the other two commissioners. It was war, war every day over this and that. They were drawing too much money; something out on the road was going wrong, and it looked as tho there would be no road. But MT. Tobin stuck it out and today things are running as smooth as a peeled onion. All they have to do in Sevier county now, he says. is to sit back and let the farmers do their own road planning
 With regard to what Ssvier IS do- ing, and how she is forming new dis tricts, being all talk is a mistake. This work is actually going on. We have been reading about it in the

 It was a fitting close to the meeting on highway matters to have the state men from Judge Finger that the en- gineers would begin work Tuesday morning. Judge Finger then intro duced Hal L. Norwood, who desired to speak for a short time on the question of the Mena schools.
 And Good Schools Go With Good Roads.
 Mir. Norwood stated his purpose in talking was to sound the people on the question of better schools for Mena. A rising vote was taken on 1 the need of a superintendent for the schools, the vote being practically unanimous for a superintendent for the coming term. Minor Pipkin, as a retiring member of the school board, discussed the finances of the school and the increased cost of teachers, etc, the difficulty in securing the right man for superintendent at the price Mena could pay. MT. Norwood then spoke on the question of the as- sessment of property at such low val ues, and how practically all the tax payers gave their returns below the correct figures, and suggested that ways be devised for correcting this evil, which would place more money in the school fund. The meeting then adjourned
 While the meeting lasted less thar an hour and thirty minutes, in that time the sort of spirit that prevails in Polk county was illustrated in 8 manner that was convincing and worth while.
