DIRT ROADS

The greatest handicap to the progress and prosperity OF
Eastern Arkansas in the past has been the absence of dirt roads
and active, and large amounts are to be spent in road building,
go that people can get about from place to place and haul their
produce. Wisely and naturally the people are directing most
attention to the building Of roads leading to the west end Of the
great lIarahan bridge, which will give them easy access to
Memphis, the great rail and water distributing point, and these
roads will make it convenient and easy for the people of Mem
phs to visit these marveously rich outlying lands, where they
can meet the people and carry on commerce with them face
TO face, without the expensive activities of middlemen.
Good dirt roads with a hard surface mean bringing the
country and its products to town, where the consumers live, and
where shipping facilities abound to carry these products speedily
to consumers at a distance, and scattered toward every point Of
the compass, This will be a great boon to Eastern Arkansas.
The richest and most productive lands cannot be utilized to the
best advantage unless they are connected with markets where
consumers come to buy by good roads, which decrease the
expense of hauling and lower freight rates,
Foreign nations have gone to war in order to obtain access
TO the sea, which is the great open highway to all lands and
peoples, The Mississippi river is an inland sea, and Memphis is
a plexus of highways to the markets of the world, where ship
Eastern Arkansas is the land of promise, and has a great future.
1t has been bottled up by lack of roads. The railroads have
been depended on for a service that should have been done by
vehicular traffic, which will bring the producer into actual con-
tact with the consumer and the shipper. AS soon as these roads
are completed and in operation lines of motor trucks will be
established and maintained, furnishing a daily service between
this city and the rich country across the river,
Many Menphians have large landed interests in Eastern
Arkansas, and are behind the good roads movement, and Mem
phis as a whole should do all in its power to encourage the
Of living, and make it attractive for manufacturing industries
and other city building activities. AS well as rich lands, there
is an abundance Of timber in this favored section, and this lum-
her will soon be drawn upon TO supply the deficiency in the
housing accommodations of the city.
There is room for much progress and work for many busy
hands to do, The first necessity is good roads, and these are
promised and are reasonably sure of being constructed in the
near future.

EXERCISE CARE In j..
CASES OF MEASLES

The public school attendance is be-
ing cut down materially by the preva
lence OF measles in Memphis. From
April 1 to April 10 a total of SS cases
were reported to the city health de-
partment, but only two deaths has re-
suited from bronchial complications so
far.
The health department requests that
children with measles remain at their
homes to prevent a spread of the con
tagiQn and that children free from the
malay keep away from placarded
homes.
Measles becomes epidemic about every
third year although there are always
more or less cases every year. 1t Is
the general belief that measles is a
harmless disease. but If patients are not
properly cared for they may easily de-
velop bronchitis or bronchial pneu-
monia which, in many instances, prove
fatal. Several years ago a large num-
Der of children died from broneho-
pneumonia superinduced by measles.
Physicians say that with proper care
there is no reason why any child with
measles should develop bronchitis or
pneumonia.
The disease is a spring disease and
probably will pass away with contin-
ued warm weather.
There is very little scarlet fever and
diphtheria in Memphis at present.

HABITS

Man is a creature of habit, and so are all of the other
animals.
Man is different from the other animals to the extent that
he is the master Of his habits, and like the animals to the extent
that habits are master over him.
The man who makes his habits is the strong man, and the
man who is made by his habits is weak.
Peculiarites, idiosyncracies and weaknesses are spoken of
as habits, The man who smokes regularly is said to have the
habit. Some men are said to have the cussin' habit. Others
have the coffee habit or the habit of getting UP at a given hour
in the morning, Ordinarily the calendar of habits is thought
to be exhausted when the customary frailhes and trivialties
are recounted. But these habits are the same as the habit Of
the dog that turns around before lying down, the habit Of the
COW that goes to the barn at feeding time or the wild geese
that 90 south in winter and north in summer
What are you doing with your habits? Are YOU their
master or are you their victim? Are you nervous and impatient
when your dinner is not ready at a given hour or when break
fast is late?
Habits should be cultivated. Cultivate the habit of thought.
Of reading good literature aud Of mastering your business and
Of throwing off the cares Of busness-habits of recreation and
Of rest by indulging some opposite activity.
Make the strongest habit the one OF the mind. Cultivate the
habit Of putting your mind ON a given subject and keeping it
there. One of the contemporary writers says there is no such
thing as writing under inspiration. Writing under compulsion
is the only kind that accomplshes anything, 1t is a matter Of
habit.
Ask yourself the question: Am the victim of appetnes or
does my mind control my acts? The answer will determine
whether you are controlled by habits Of weakness or habits Of
strength
