proner Road Maintenance:
 Patrol System is the
 Latest System of Repairs

Discussing the matter of road build ing i'll Arkansas, Capt. Elmer Bird, formerly chief engineer of construc- ton for the United States government at Piclo and now engaged in engin- eering in Arkansas, says the best sys- tenn yet devised tor maintenance of roads is the patrol system
 Fortunately Arkansas has awakened to the fact that maintenance is as inn portant as the building of good roads The building is but the start Without proper provision for maintenance the is probable that millions of dollars have been lost in Arkansas through al lowing good roads to go to pieces be- cause no provision for maintenance was made.
 Under the patrol system a competent man equipped With small wagon end a horse, small quantity of road-mak- ing material and tools, consisting of a rake, shovel, brush-cutter and tamping bar, patrols from six to eight miles of roadway, The entire expense for the patrol is about 1000 year The pa trOman fills his wagon every morning with suitable repair material and drives slowly over his stretch of road. making all repair necessary He can make within a few minutes and at trifline cost repairs that would re- quire much laabor and expense if de layed too long. He is to the road what the track-walker is to the railway, eX- cept that he makes repairs on the spot, whereas the track-Walker must report trouble so that repairs may be made by another force
 Arkansas should have the patrol system on every good road she builds on or has.-Gazette.

Causes of Nigh Prices; De- creased Production, Hoard.
 ing and profiteering

Washington. Aug. 31-High costs of living which the government is seek ing to combat, are primarily due to the curtailment in the production of near ly all commodities, hoarding, prof teering and imitation of currency, the Council of National Defense said in an executive report sent to Congress yes ,erday. The report was made public through Secretary Baker, chairman of the council.
 Suggestions of the control for meet ing the situation include stimulation of production, repression of hoarding and profiteering; improvements in the methods of marketing and the disse- imitation of more eXast news con corning probable future national re- quirements.
 Gross profiteering in the wool and shoe industries through conscious cur tailment of production was alleged is the report The shortage of housing accommodations was attributed to shortage in building material, caused by certain conditions and to labor dis putes, and the report said the short age probably would continue for some time to come
 A national standard of living high CT than that existing during the war or before can be maintained the re- port said, if production is placed on an efficiency basis.
 Unless reduction in wholesale food prices resulting from sharp breaks on the produce markets are passed on to the consumer. vigorous punitive ac ton will be taken by the Department of Justice, it was said today.
 Profiteering in sugar virtually has ceased, according to Judge Ames, as sistant to the attorney general in charge of administering the food con trol law Eleven cents, he said, now is accepted as the just price by deal CTS throughout the country.
