Mr.. Oliver made the prediction
that when the road is completed Hot
Springs would enjoy a great patron
age from the people of Little Rock
alone, and that Little Rock would
find there was mutual reciprocation
on the part of the citizens of Hot
Springs.
"Why, it will be possible for people
in Little Rock to come to the Spa
and enjoy the baths without having
to remain over here for the night if
they don't want to-" he said. ''They
can get in their cars and in less than
two hours be in Hot Springs, take
their baths and go whizzing back
home. Think, too, of the tourists
coming to Little Rock who, with a
road of this kind at their service,
will continue the journey to Hot
Springs! There is another feature
that should not be overlooked, and
that is this: There will be enough
new settlers come into the state and
locate along that new highway whose
taxes will pay off the debt of this
road inside of 10 years. The history
of every big road project in any part
of the United States is that good
road attracts new settlers. People
are getting tired of living in localities
from which there is practically no
exit. Good roads constitute the mag
net that draws others and provides
the medium through which develop
ment naturally follows. This high
way will be the greatest asset Hot
Springs possesses, and, when properly
advertised, will be of inestimable
value to Little Rock also, for a great
percentage of the tourists will want
to come to Hot Springs and will have
to pass through Little Rock"

ROAD CASE GOES
TO SUPREME COURT
CON STITUTIONALITY OF
PULASKI COUNTY ROAD I'M
PROvEMENT DISTRICT NO. 10
is THE ISSUE.


The constitutionality of the act
creating the Pulaski County Road
Improvement District No. 10, attack
ed in Chancery Court by Frank Cum
mock, was argued Monday before the
Supreme Court. The plaintiff sought
in the lower court to restrain J. R.
Alexander and the other commits
sioners of the district from proceed
ing further with the construction of
the improvements.
The case was dismissed in the
lower court recently, but granted the
plaintiff an appeal. Mr.. Cumnock
alleges that the act is invalid be-
cause six separate highways are con-
templated under the one measure,
and because of certain discrimina-
tions. The Supreme Courts decision
probably will be given Monday.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
ARKANSAS?

Arkansas is as good state as can be,
A better one you'll not see,
The west this, the west that, the west

The very same thing as of yore.
What's the matter with Arkansas?
She's all right.
With her fields of cotton SO white.
Her people with cages SO light.
Who for the right will not fail to
fight.
Arkansas with orchards far and wide.
Good roads fit for any car ride.
The moonshiners have all died.
Come to Arkansas now and be
satisfied. .
What's the matter with Arkansas ?
She's all right
Pack up, come now to abide,

And girls with eyes ever so bright.
Railroads of five thousand miles.
Where prosperity on you always
smiles.
The people million and a half.
Always making you laugh.
What's the matter with Arkansas?
She's all right.
Once here you would be sure to stop.
Another state you would forget to
hop
You would be sure to want US to
hold you tight.

WARM PRAISE BY

HISTORICAL NOVEL WRITTEN
BY MRS. BERNIE BABCOCK OF
PULASKI HEIGHTS ATTAINS
GREAT DISTINCTION.

The first edition of Mrs. Bernie
Babcock's historical novel, published
by the ]. B. Lippincott Company, has
been exhausted, and it promises to
become one of the big sellers of the
year. 1t has been praised most high
ly by Sir Gilbert Parker, the cele-
brated English author, who says:
"The Soul of Ann Rutledge," came
yesterday and I've read it through
with the deepest interest. predict
for this book big popularity in the
United States. 1t is sentimental, but
it is human, and the sketches of
character throughout the book are
admirable. 1t is a good picture Of
life in the backwoods of America in
the days when Lincoln lived. The
character of Ann is drawn with great
charm and delicacy and Lincoln is
seen at his best.
Il hope and believe that the book
will have a prodigious sale. It over
comes one, scarcely know why. /
wonder if it is the infinite interest
one feels in the character of Lincoln
of whom I've always been an intense
admirer. 1t stiles all criticism
The Lippincott company also adj
vised Mrs. Babcock that John Wanna
maker, the great Eastern merchant,
was going to present each member
Of his bible class with copy Of her
book. Mr.. Wannamaker gives at this
time each year to his class an appro-
pirate gift of some kind. This year
he chose ''1'he Soul of Ann Rutledge"
not only as the most appropriate
book, but as the most appropriate
gift of any kind.
The London agency of the Lippin-
colt Company has been instructed by
the parent house at Philadelphia to
place as many translations as possible
of the story abroad

fisher folk, men, women and children,
migrated there every summer for the

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
British Airman Gees Through Ex-
citing Experience.
Tail Of His Machine Shot Off While
Flying at $1,000 Feet Over
Ostend.

London.-A British airman flying a
powerful machine at 5000 feet over
Ostend recently had the machines tail
shot off by the direct hit OF a she'll, a
very uAusual occurrence.
The. maehiefe turned upside down,
cut Of control, and the pilot was
thrown out of his seat. By some in
explieable maneuyer he managed to
Chamber onto the bottom Of the fusel-
age of the machine astride Of when
he sat as if he was riding horse.
Though the machine was. out of con
troll, owing to the less of its tail planes,
vet by moving forward and backward
he so managed to balance it that 1t
glided steaslily downward, although 1t
was upside down.
He successfully brought it across
The German lines and came safely to
within a few hundred feet OF the
ground. Then he crashed and was In
jured, but is now recovering in hos
pital.
When it is considered that this in
ctdent occurred at height of 16.000
feet. over hostile territory, and that
during the airman's terribly precarious
ride he was subject to anti-alrcraft
fire. and liable to the attack of hostile
scouts, it is not too much to say that
his is a record achievement.
Recently another airman was shot
down, out of control, from $4,000 feet,
and fell, fluttering like leaf toward
the ground. At height of 1900 feet
he tainted. Sfortly afterward he
came to, and found himself in the ma
chine upside down in marsh, unhurt.

sFEED THE HUNGRY.

100000 people, mostly women and
children. in the territory recently
liberated from Turkish rule are with
out food or any means of obtaining it.
These are the survivors Of the terri
lie massacres and prosecutions prac-
ticed by the Turk on his subjects.
Their condition is not the result of
fault of theirs. They were not at
war, yet they are the greatest suf-
ferers of the whole war.
Driven from their homes, their pro-
pertv destroyed, and forced into the
desert, there was no way by which they
could provide for their needs. Now
that the heel the oppressor has been
removed by the Christian nations, it
becomes necessary for the charitable
people Of the United States to help in
their own land where they can again
become self-supporting
Their need is SO urgent that our
president. whom the whole world is
applauding, has issued a proclama-
ton, calling on the people of America
to contribute $4,000. 900 for their sup
port. This amount will be sufficient
to keep them from starving until June.
100000 orphans appeal to you.
Millions of women and their child
rem look to America, the Joseph of
the nations, to save them.
President Wilson says that he has
never made an appeal to his people
that was not more than net.
Shall these HELPLESS women and
children cry in vain for food?
The week January 12th-19th. has
been designated for the raising of this
fund for Armenian and Syrian relief.
Make your contributions to the COM
mittees when they call on you, and
have the Golden Rule in your heart.
Just imagine a change in position
ord this fund will be raised as If by
