 Swifton, Ark, Feb. 1.-The Vil- lage Creek drainage project, which has been. before the people of Glass township, is a matter which is caus- ing considerable anxiety on the part of those who are most interested in the welfare of this section of the county There is scarcely person in this locality who does not realize the need of dredging the creek and a large majority favor the improve ment, but the prevailing sentiment IS that the matter should be postponed. At the present time the people of Glass township are paying four spe- cial taxes in addition to the state and county taxes, and during the coming year it is likely, two other special taxes a hard road and fencing; dis trict tax--will be added, making in

GERMANS FEAR FOCH.

Paris, Feb. 10.-The Echo de Paris today prints an account of recent incident in Berlin which might have resulted in the withdrawal of the Bri- tish prisoners mission had an apol- ogy not been offered by Count von Brockdorf- -Rantsau, the foreign min- ister. It is said the chief of the British mission found it necessary to have a conversation with the foreign minister and proceeded to Wilhelm strasse and sent up his card to Count von Brockdorf- -Rantsau. A secretary made his appearance, and after ex- cusing the foreign minister, said;
 However, you can tell me the ob- feet of your visit and l shall refer the matter to the secretary of state The British officer declined this in. vitation. Immediately afterward he informed General Dupont, the French commander, of what had happened Later he drafted telegram to Mar shal Foch, requesting that the entire allied mission be recalled.
 This dispatch had hardly beer handed in than Count von Brockdorf' Rantzau sent an urgent message te General Dupont saying the foreign minister was anxious to see General Dupont in person to apologize TOT what had occurred.

YANKEES MAKE BIG
 HIT WITH FRENCH GIRLS.

i Paris, Feb. 2.-To get an Ameri- can husband seems to be the ideal of more than 40 per cent of the Parisian young women. At all events that is the result of an inquiry conducted by L'Osuvre, Paris daily newspaper, which publishes series of letters setting forth the reasons that have guided the writers to give preference to Americans.
 Those who would rather marry Frenchmen, base their predilectlon largely on patriotic grounds, but a large per centage of young French women confess to whole-hearted ad- miration of the average America,s breezy good humor and courtesy to- ward the other sex. Several French girls who have had an opportunity to observe American home life, appre- ciate the easy camaraderie between the sexes.
 Some writers say that French low CTS talk too much and are too fussy about their appearance. Whether a man ought to shave seems to agitate the French feminine mind consider ably and the voting is about equal be- tween the smooth shaven American and moustached Frenchman.
 One girl raises the objection that Americans eat too much.

Coming so soon after the war with it's burdens, the people feel that it is an inopportune time for this great work and for this reason they are protesting. As above stated a large majority are heartily in favor of the improvement, but they feel that the work should not be done at the present time.

thought of reward or of praise. To Elkdom it seemed, when the need called, as natural to do it's utmost as it seemed natural to America's youngest and best to rush overseas as natural as it seemed to those im- mortal United States Marines to toss their lives lightly from open hands at Chateau-T -Thierry that a world might be saved thereby.
 Here's what your Grand Exalted Ruler, Brother Bruce Campbell, has to say of the forthcoming story:
 "Mr. Duncan Fraser, connected with Golfers Weekly, became inter ested in the war work that has been done by our Order. As a conse- quence, he was assigned by Golfers ] to write an article concerning these activities. I am advised that such article will appear in Golfers Week. 1 ly in the issue of January 1. I am also informed that it will be splen- did resume of our war work, and that it will be of great advantage to us."
 And here, compiled that you may recall and see in it's entirety the work that you have done, war, relief, etc, etc, is the tabulated list of the war work of Lodge No. 30 of New Orleans:
 Seven hundred and eighty y-nine members of New Orleans Lodge in the service Relieved from the pay ment of dues and membership card issued to each with "dues paid to the end of the war"

BUILDING
BENEFITS OF COUNTRY ROADS
Among Other Things They Cheaper
Cost Of Transportation of Farm
Products to Market

Good roads promote self-respect In
community. They make possible
social intercourse. They bring the
benefits Of churches and schools with
in the reach Of all. They help to keep
the boys on the farm. They cheaper
the cost Of transportation OF farm
products to the markets and thus add
to the farm profits. They add to the
value OF farm lands much more than
they cost. They mark the degree OF
civilization Of the rural community
This, In short, is the value OF good
roads as seen by the extension service
OF the University Of Missouri College
Of Agriculture.
The building Of good roads Is Of the
greatest importance 10 a community.
What kind Of road should be built?
or what should IL be constructed?

Good Roads Like This Bring Farmer
Nearer to City Markets.

What are the things to be considered
In locating the road? What grade
should be maintained? How should
the road be drained? What are the
laws governing highway construction ?
There are few questions answered
In extension circular 6S dealing with
country roads.
Matters OF prime consideration In
locating road are: Easy grades,
good drainage, exposure to sunshine
elimination of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number OF farms to
be served for given length of road.
Whenever possible to avoid it, good
location should not be rejected merely
because certain roadway has been in
use for some time. If the location OF
used road is bad ii should be
changed II possible. In relocating roads
avoid railroad crossings at grades.
The grade OF the road Is important
for on this depends the weight of the
load which can be hauled economically.
BY grade Is meant the rise or fall In
feet for each 100 feet in horizontal
length of road, usually expressed In
percentage. A 8 per cent grade means
that the road rises or falls 8 feet each
100 feet along its center line. 1t has
been calculated that on n smooth coun-
try road the load that one horse could
pull on level would require two on a
, per cent grade, three on 10 per cent |
grade and four on 10 per cent grade. |
Engineers usually figure a @ per cent |
grade as a maximum.
Road work In Missouri has not been
rs well managed as other public work.
Projects have been too narrowly lin
ted to localities. resulting In frag-
nentary effort. Skilled locating and
OF construction have been
lacking. The remedies are:
first. a wider cooperation and the
doption of broad schemes OF improve
lent, preferably with units no smaller
han counties. Second. the absolute
Elimination of political considerations
a the spending OF money. Third, Sc
uring good engineering advice in the
reparation OF plans and requiring
areful engineering supervision OF con-
.ruction.
