WRITE HOUSE FAMILY LIFE

2 5f zrr@
 There had not been much family life in the White House for some vears in the sense which the presence of children makes distinctive AT fer the Hayes administration the Garfield regime was rather an in- terregnum. Then followed Presi- dent Arthur without family, and he was succeeded by MT. Cleveland a bachelor. MT. Cleveland's mar riage introduced the charming per sonality of one of the most popular "first ladies" who ever graced tne presidents house, but that evens happened too late to give much special family emphasis to Whlee House life. The Harrisons came m with real family, fresh from Vhe Indianapolis home, which had been the center of wholesome unosten- lions hospitality. They brought with them the touch of chIidhooa that had been missing. Nr' anl Mrs. McKeen had made their home with her parents, and the ilttle son named for his grandfather, early became a point of interest and at- traction to the people of country where home and family in the hlgn- est and fullest sense ate held to De not cAly a cardinal WIT le. but also .l ..sracter. A daug tcr came IT, sre a the very core os :ie nation to being during the carl algn; but "Baby Mckee" as he was as once dubbed by the newspaper coterie that flocked to Indianapolis as soon as the nomination was pAde. re maining until the president-elct iett for Washington, Feb. 26, 1883. be- came popular figure secondary only to the candidate himself.
 The doors of the Harrison home swung easily on their hinges to all friendly visitors, and to n;ne more than to the press representatives. How folks did swarm and what havoc they made with the premises, carry ing off everything loose, or that could be loosened, as mementoes of a campaign standing out m our political history with that of lS4o with it's "lob cabin and hard cider, and with the one in 1860 with the slogan of Honest Old Abe" and it's ''rail-splitting symbols. The palings of the fence around the Harrison yard were quickly pull ed off, and the yard so trampled down and the lower rooms of the house crowded upon that Mrs Harrison's oft-repeated epigram that sit was either the White House or the poorhouse for them was not entirely without point. But 1t was all real expression of hos pitality and good will enjoyed by the family most interested-how- ever wearied at times they might be-and particularly by Gen. liar rison himself, who never was in finer form than when speaking to crowds Of neighbors and friends from his own doorstep.
 The newspaper men never failed to receive cordial greeting, no mat ter what the politics of the paper they represented. so long as they played fair.-Lieut-Co E. w. Hal ford, in Leslie's.

ARKANSAS NOTES

A ludicrous incident happened at a home near Higden a few days ago. The lady of the house was entertaining crochet club. All the guests that had been invited were present and no more were ex- pected, but they came and came with a rush when the family dog began to chase the leader of herd of goats. This leader, a strudy Billie. jumped the yard fence ran into the house and into the room to the goat and the dog, but upon the table and from the table to "a dresser.

CLASSIFYING Him.

The most cutting bit of repartee we
remember to have heard in recent
weeks happened out at The Willough-
beach picnic of a certain fraternity to
which we belong. A very young man
and very pretty girl Were discussing
costumes horseback riding, golf and
fudge. The girl said that she could
ride, but preferred the old-fashioned
side saddle. She said she thought it
more graceful.
But, really, Miss H." insisted the
very young man, edo you see anything
inherently improper In the divided
skirt?''
Nothing whatever, Mr. O., "an-
swered the very pretty girl earnestly.
"For instance, I think thot you might
wear one with perfect propriety."-

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
May se Obtained Sy Applying
to Garden Soil

The droppings from fowls, if care
fully saved and applied to the garden
soil, will increase the supply of fresh
vegetables. Poultry manure is rich in
nitrogen and is well worth the effort
1t requires to save and apply. The
droppings from an average farm flock
will amount to considerable fertility

GREAT ROAD BUILDING YEAR
Thousands of Miles Of Improvement
Arranged and More Will
Surely Follow.

From the passage of the federal
aid road act to December Is, 1918.
755 projects were approved by the
secretary of agriculture. These
projects involve the improvement of
1867 miles Of public roads at a total
estimated cost Of $57 ,632, 900, Of which
the federal government has been re-
quested to contribute $21, 100000
There have been actually completed
to date twelve projects, involving a
total of fifty-one miles Of road, cost
ing approximately $617,54S, and on
which federal aid in the amount of
$260,660.19 was paid.
Altogether there are more than
1900 miles of road, for which most
of the steps preliminary to construc.
ton have been taken so far as the
bureau Of public roads is concerned.
Numerous other projects not yet re-
ported to the department have been
completed or are under construction,
so that the sum total of the road
work now in progress under federal
aid is greater than appears in this
summary.
From Florida to Maine, through the
North to the Pacific coast and down
to Mexico road building work is GO
ing on. Every state has accepted it's
contribution from the government,
and while no organized effort has
been made along those lines to the
present time, the states are working
gradually to the system of national
highways.
Coupled with plans already out
lined for expenditures on the roads
is the legislative program now before
congress, which provides for $780,
100000 to be expended over a period
of seven years by federal aid. 1t is
estimated that in the event Of the
passage Of this bill, which would

AUTO TAXES TO GO TO ROADS
Committee Appointed in Alabama to

However, rs were enrolled and preliml-
nary organization perfected, with II. G.
Johnston as chairman and Robert Dod-
son, treasurer.
The nam selected-the Gains-Lewis

ner: While many families Of the county
lost a member while In the service, the
Gains family and the Lewis family were

two members each, the two Gains
brothers having been killed in action
within a short time of each other;
and the Lewis brothers were killed, or
died from the effects Of wounds received
In action, within a short time Of each
other. In recognition of these irrepara-
BILE losses the post was named for the
two bereayed families.
