WILSON VISITS MOTHER
Aged Mother OF Naval Chief Quite
III In Camden

The illness of his mother brought Vice
Admiral Wilson on hurry visit to
his home in Camden Friday. 1t is
feared that the aged woman cannot
survive the infirmities from which she
is suffering. She is eighty seven years
old and was scarcely able to recognize
her distinguished son when he entered
her room.
Mrs. Wilson has said that she wished
to live until she had seen two events
an allied victory and her son. Her son
visited her last April II, and from her
home at S45 Mount Vernon street she
watched the splendid welcome which
Camden gave to the naval hero.
After seeing his mother Admiral vii.
son went to Atlantic City to join his
family. At the present time he is in
command of the New Mexico, which
vessel will probably be his flagship
when he assumes command of the At.
lantic feet.

Ruth shook her head.
"what are you going to do?"
"we'll wait till Scott comes home. :"
Scott had never been welcomed so
vociferously in his life as he was by
the two girls when he finally did arrive.
Never had he seen Ruth and Alice 80

Ruth interposed. II am certain it was
something out of the ordinary that made
her call up that way. And why should
this man be so determined?"

''She couldn't have; there hasn't been

Scott rang again and they all

Perhaps she's afraid to come out"
suggested Ruth. "She may think he's

''Of course" assented Ruth approx

But central after long time reported

Scott did not seem at all worked UP

followed Ruth out to the kitchen. When
Ruth began to take things out of the ice
box, she said, Now what can do to

about to say "Not thing" changed

BONDHOLDERS INCREASE

One of the most hopeful of all the factors in the business and industrial outlook of the United States is the wide distribution of Liberty Bonds among all classes of people This makes for stability that will be very valuable in the coming years. It will also exert a profound influence in the immediate problems of after5the-war readjustment.
 Just now when industrial and finan- cial situations as affected by the change of the country from war to a peace basis are holding a very i'm portant place in the public mind, thi. factor is being thoughtfully regarded. One reason for the Undoubtedly opti= mistic outlook is the fact that Liberty Bonds are so widely distributed among all classes.
 The bondh61der who owns Liberty issues has in his possession securities that represent the very best invest ment in the world He knows this and he knows that so long as the Government stands his bonds will be worth exactly what they represent themselves to be worth, principal and interest. down to the last cent

Some of tho good people over n
 Benton County have grown somewhat hysterieal over the formation of road districts. protesting to fear that the taxes will eventually eat up their property. together with other dire calamitics. There was some little opposition to the formation of Dis trict No. to build road east from Springdale, some owners of property looking at the matter from the stand point of the Benton County objectors. One of the most uncompromls1ng op- ponents of the proposition owns 2 fine farm several miles east of Springdale, and when the list assessments was filed with the county court at Fay etteville he went down to find out how much longer he would be per mitted to occupy his homestead before being sold out by the tax collector. He found that his taxes for the con- struction of the road amounted to S450 per year. One trip over the road with a load of produce will save him the amount of one years assess ment After the matter Is sifted down and the facts arrived at, the same condition will likely be found to exist in Benton County Opposition to the construction of hard surfaced roads through taxation is largely the result of misunderstanding of the ultimate cost to the individual tax payer. This opposition is fostered by q few calamity howlers in every community, aided and abetted by self seeking demagogues. who hope to curry favor with the people and ride into office thereby. Experience has demonstrated that the only way, and the equitable way, to get permanent good roads is by taxation. Many of those who are now obiecting SO strenuously to this plan will live to see the error of their way, and when the proposed roads are built and the yare enjoying the benefits of same will no doubt wonder how they ever got along travelling over the old mud dy, gulley-washed. anticipated dirt roads.
