Road District IA
 To Get $125,0OO
 From State Fund

Road Improvement district No. IA, which proposed to build about 62 miles of good roads in Jefferson coun- ty north of the river, but which was wanted to abandoned by the commits sioners some days ago, because the estimates furnished by the engineer proved to be in their estimation too high, will get $125,000 from the state highway commission, if the recom- mendation made by the advisory board of that body is favorably received by the commission.
 Commissioners of the district who went to Little Rock to confer with the members of the advisory board were given the assurance that the recom- mendation for $125,000 had been made. Returning commissioners yes terday stated that they believed the recommendation would be acted on favorably.
 Should this sum be apportioned to this district, and should the part of the road which it appears will be so expesive is eliminated, as is proposed by the commissioners, it is believed that the road will be constructed. The elimination of part of the road said to be about four-mile stretch, will allow for saving of about $75,- 900.

5000 KILLED IN STATE IN '1S BY
 TUBERCULOSIS J. H. Mann Heads Campaign in Jefferson to Prevent Spread
 of Disease.

That the death rate in Arkansas from the ravages of tuberculosis IS
 assuming alarming proportions Is brought out by figures published by
 the Arkansas Public Health associa- ton. A campaign for the prevention of the spread of the disease, and for the care and treatment of persons afflicted, will be begun shortly by
 the association. This campaign will be for the purpose of raising money
 to successfully fight the disease. J.. H. Mann, president of the Peoples bank, has been named chairman for Jefferson county.
 Three thousand people were killed Arkansas last year by tuberculosis, according to figures recently given out by the state health department.
 Thirty-two deaths from this cause
 were reported in Pulaski county alone
 with population of a little more than 100000.
 Plans for the control of this dis ease, which have been held in abey-
 ance for some time past because of
 the demand upon the people by the war, are now being developed by the
 Arkansas Public Health association in cooperation with the state health department and prominent business
 men and social workers over the state. It is estimated by the health department that the ravages of tuber- culosis are costing the state $14,000,-
 900 annually. That the anti-tubercu-
 lar work done in the state up to this
 time is considered by authorities grossly inadquate, and just cause for concern, is evidenced by the fact that
 no provision for control is made be- yond the 40 beds maintained by the state sanitorium.

Kansas Schools to Give Instruction
 On Keeping We'll

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 7.-Be- cause it is held that weight is the simplest indication of physical con- dition, every child in the war school of Kansas City will be weighed at frequent intervals during the coming school year. Scales will be installed in each school.
 The board of education has pur- chased health charts which will be distributed among the ward schools. The charts will be used to record the physical condition of the pupils from time to time. At the opening of school, each child will be given card on which will be printed eight simple health rules the children are expected to observe. An order has been placed for 45,00O of these cards, which have the following: Health Essentials:
 A full bath more than once a week.
 Brushing the teeth at least once a day.
 Sleeping long hours with windows open.
 Drinking as much milk as possible but no coffee or tea.
 Eating some vegetables and fruit every day.
 Drinking at least four glasses of water a day.
 Playing part of every day out of doors.
 A bowel movement every morning.

PREDICTS SURPLUS OF WHEAT.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Owing to the fact that the cost of meat and of all cereal foods is largely regulated by the price of corn, much interest at taches to a report which has been is sued by the Continental Monumental National bank here pointing out that the United States corn crop of 1919 is not yet made, and is in danger of damage during August. The report says that the average this year is 4 per cent less than the revised area of last year, but that nevertheless the the prospects this year are for pro- duction we'll above last season.

Promises Generous
 Reduction in Beef
 Price to Consumer

Topeka. KaKn., Aug. Promise of a generous reduction in the retail price of meat to the consumer IS
 made by officials of the Kansas live stock association, when it puts Ill operation a number of "demonstfa- tion shops" Plans for the early ma terialization of this plan Will De dlsc cussed tomorrow at meeting ol Kansas stockmen in Kansas City, It is said.
 "A number of livestock men have offered to finance these undertak- ings," said J. H. Mercer, secretary, of the association. "Two plans are being discussed-one, to handle the cattle to be slaughtered direct from the producer to the slaughter. house, and another is to purchase the car casses from the packers in the regu- lar way. just as the retailer receives them.
 I've are not charging the retailers with profiteering, because we do not know just how he is handling his own business or what is absorbing the large margin between what he pays 1 for the carcass and what he charges the consumer. What we claim is that this margin is unreasonably large and should be reduced from sixty to one hundred per cent.
 "The open quotations on beef on foot and on beef carcasses tell the story. The packer places a carcass on the block in the butchers shop, at an average price of from 15 to Is cents pound. The best beefs--the highest quotation-is $22.5O a hun dred, and only few shops handle l this class of meat exclusively"
 1 Secretary Mercer said tentative plans have been made for establish ing one of the demonstration shops at Kansas City, Kan, one at Elm , poria and one other point, not yet definitely decided upon, and probably at other points later.

WHAT ABOUT THE TEACHERS
 AND PREACHERS?

Railroad men declare they must have an increase in wages in order to meet the increased cost of living, which has almost doubled. The rail- road men are among the best paid workers. If they find difficulty in making ends meet" on the pay they receive, what about the teachers and preachers, whose meagre pittance is so small as to be pitiful.
 The bureau of labor statistics of the department of labor at Washing ton has compiled figures showing that the average cost per family per year of 22 principal articles of food in Little Rock in June, 1919, was $637, 53. Clothing, rent and other neces- sary expenses will make the cost of living for the average family at least double the average cost of food, or approximately $1,300 per an nun. And this, only by strict econ omy.
 Now, how many teachers and preachers are paid enough to live upon. The average pay of teachers is about the same.
 There are many people who will declare there is no need for workers to organize for collective bargaining; that if they deserve more money, the employers will see that they get it. This may be true of some employers, but it certainly is not true of the pub lie. Seldom is voice heard in advo- cacy of better pay for teachers and preachers. It seems to be taken for granted that these workers can get along somehow, deriving sufficient satisfaction for their work to make up for the shortcoming in pay. That they do is about the only way we can account for schools and churches con- tinuing. It is doubtful if any other class of workers would tolerate such treatment as the teachers and preach CTS receive.
 We ought to be ashamed that we permit people to work for us at such inadequate pay. The responsibility for this rests with each and every one of us, and is due entirely to sell fishness. This fact disproves the often reiterated declaration that the public is fair. If it were, teachers and preachers would receive better pay.

KEEP TO THE RIGHT.

A rule of the road is to keep to the right. It is rule good to follow in every path of life. It is a rule that should be followed closely at this critical period.
 Every one of us should resolve that we will keep to the right, respecting the rights of others, and refrain from attempting to take privileges to which we are not entitled. And we ought to be careful about exercising privileges to which we may even lay some claim.
 We ought to determine that we will not misconstrue personal liberty, and seek to square by this over worked phrase personal license. Every per- son has the right to conduct himself as he sees fit, providing he does not violate the laws of the state and society, and does not infringe upon the rights of others.
 It would be good thing to resolve that we will "keep to the right" and maybe step out of the way once or twice if necessary to avoid conflict, but that should occasion demand we will be as firm in defending our own rights as we arc in avoiding infringe zit upon the rights of others.

LAST BIG TEXAS LAND SALE.


 Austin, Texas, Aug. 6-The last big sale of Texas lands will be or September 1, 1919, land men predict
 When the state entered the unior approximately 50,O00,0O0 acres were held as public domain. Since that time 1t has been reduced by awards and tri-yearly sales until barely g. OGC ,Q00 acres remain.
 And since the Thirty-sixth legis- lature has amended land laws o1 the state to remove the provision that buyers of state land must actually set tle thereon, it is expected that specu lators will buy all available land al the next sale as the terms fixed by law are one-fortieth down and the bal ance ill forty years with interest al 5 per cent.
