WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW
Engineers In Charge Of Construction
Work Had Ideas That Now Seem
Little Peculiar.

Light on strange ideas of pioneer
railroad builders was thrown by Ed
ward S. Jouett, general solicitor Of
the L. & NJ, In a talk before the Ro-
tary club Mt Louisville.
1.-THE Lexlngton-Frankfort line" said
he, twas built with longitudinal stone
stills capped with a strip Of iron, and
the numerous curves, which you have
all noted, are said to have been pur-
posely introduced upon the theory that
they were an advantage In enabling
the conductor the more easily to see
the rear Of his train. The coaches
were two-story affairs-women and
children below and men above-and
the motive power was mules to the
top of the hill above Frankfort. The
train was let down the hill into the
city upon an incline operated by a
stationary engine.
"You may be interested, In passing.
to learn that with the exception Of a
few miles near New Orleans, which
antedated 1t about week, this line
from Lexington to Frankfort is the
oldest railroad In the United States
south of the Ohio and west of the
Alleghenies. 1t was chartered In 1880
very early In railroad history, when
we remember that the first railroad
In the United States was built In 1926,
and the first locomotive engine was
operated In 1922"

Health and Height Count.

Every flying man In the United
States air service has to undergo a
strict medical test periodically In or
der that he may be classified In one Of
four grades. "AA" men are the few
who can stand air work at attitudes
above 10000 feet. "A" men can stand
the strain between $4,000 and 10000
feet. while the "B" class consists Of
pilots for duties between 5000 and
1900 feet, and the &c" group includes
all airmen at only for service between
ground level and 5000 feet 1t has
been found that airmen Of most robust
physique cannot stand the sudden
changes Of air pressure entalled by
diving md rapid climbing for any
length of time. Hence the frequent
medical examinations, carried out by
experts who have drawn up care
fully calculated standard Of efficiency.

LIBERIA is REACHING OUT
Tribes Of That Country, Il 10 Said, Ars
Accepting the Teachings Of the
Missionaries.

Plenyono Che Wolo, a Liberian Of
the Kru tribe, who graduated from Co
lumbia university, says:
There never has been q scientific
census Of Liberia, but the population
Is estimated at from 100000 to 3.O00.-
600, and not more than 5000 are
America iberians, the descendants Of
liberated slaves. The remainder be-
long to tribes which speak four differ
ent languages and offer only nominal
submission to the government The
krus elect their kings by the selection
Of the most available man of the royal
house. In the Jarroway tribe the king
Is an absolute monarch for the reign
Of six years, and Is then put to death.
Other tribes also follow different Gus
toms.
The tribes do not acknowledge the
government Of Monrovia, because they
feel that 1t does not protect them. BY
treaty the United States government
Is required to help the Americo-Libe-
rians against the tribes. and in 1912
this country helped put down rebel
lion Of the Krus. ~
The constitution of Liberia has q
literacy test, which has heretofore ex-
Guided most Of the natives from vot-
Ing, as the central government is un-
able to undertake their education. The
Girbas are being taught by Episcopal
missionaries, and the Fulingos, who
are Mohammedans, are also gaining
the franchise. The Krus are very am
bilious and are also catching up. There
are more than so Liberians of the ma
tive tribes studying in the United
States.

 growth is about eight inches high, moved for hay as maturity ap- breaches or harvested for grain. The

 There is not any question: however, but that the crop will respond to good cultural methods and return a profit accordingly.
 Though grain drill possesses ad- vantages in seeding oats, satisfactory results may be obtained if the oats are disked in. \-/
 If the oats are to be harvested for hay or grain the seed should be treated for loose and covered smut,
 using the formalin treatment. Direc- tions for such treatment may be oh tained from the county agent or from the Experiment. Station, Fayetteville. Time of Seeding.
 Spring oats should be seeded as soon as the soil permits when winter breaks and spring opens. This will vary from the first Of February in south Arkansas to the last week in February in north Arkansas. Delay, ed seeding results in reduced yield
 of grain and light weight per bushel However, for pasture, oats may he seeded alone or with rape until well along in March.

Bill Hart Tells Boys:
BE THE BEST IN The GAME
BY BILL HART

By BILL HART
Noted Movie Hero, Who Is Writing a
Series of Articles for Boys.
American boysi-You are the most
ambitious boys in the whole world.
Ambition is your middle name
Be sure your ambition is laudable
then fasten your teeth in it and
hang on like a bulldog. If your ambi-
ton isn't laudable 1t is a false idea.
because it's like a bad horse, it is liable
to go owe backwards without warn
ing. And, when it does it hurts.
Unfortunately some boys get or on
the wrong foot But remember. 1t 10
eve too late to start over again.
Ambition is not conceit. The great
est men IN the world have been the
most ambitious. Otherwise, they would
never have become leaders of men. /
wouldn't give two bits for a boy who
didn't have ambition to spare.
You may be ambitious and lot get
anywhere near the goal of c
You must have initiative. In the West
where 1 was raised a boy had to have
enough sense to go 1t alone. Make
yourself s~elf-reliant. Then when you
get into a tight place you will know
how to get out. In other words:
Act first and talk afterwards.
Every real American ought to as
pire to be the best in the game,
whether it's pla y1ng baseball, working
at a trade, busting bronchos Or
fighting Huns.
Boys, don't be lazy. Ambition n
initiative are made of sterner stuff.
With these qualifications you ear gain
success.
