Editor State Herald,
Hc1yoke Colo

Lear Dir: we were greatly dis
appointed to learn that your
Board of County Commission
ers had not seen fit to make ap-
preparation for assisting in the
employment of a county agent
in Phillips county. We now un
derstand that there are reports
passing through the county to
the effect that this work would
cost the county approximately
"a, GOO. 90 per year.
We will appreciate it very
much if you will kindly inform
your readers of the real cost of
this work to the people of Phil
lips county.
The county agert work in
Phillips county during the
month, prior to his appoint-
ment as county agent, was car
ried on by the same man as E.
mergency Observation-Disclosures
in which position the govern
ment peid his salary and ex
penses and the state furnished
an automobile for his work.
He was appointed as county
agent, effective May 1, the gov
ernment paying his entire sala-
ry to July 1; the county furnish
ing a Ford automobile and Of
flee fully equipped for the work
aud paying a total of $43.S0 ex-
pc 1ses to July list. After July
I. the government paid 500. 100
per month as salary. the county
paying $35 per month for salary
and the expenses from, July lat
TO December 81, amounted to a
total of $42i.6.
Phillips county haSfssrnished'
q Ford automobile. typewriter.
fling cabinet. desk and chairs
amounting to less than $70O.cO.
The county has paid a total of
1852. A expense money and $2l0
for salary. making total of
1915. "A for salary and expenses
paid by the county and grand
total, including Office equip
ment and automobile, of not to
exceed 81, 1915.
Prior to the appointment Of
this innn as county agent. the
government spent n total Of
$205 in your county. Since that
time they have spent total of
$975 as salary, making grand
total of 81, $50.
The entire cost of the county
agent to the government and
Phillips county combined has
been approximately 81 555 for
the past year.
In making arrangements for
the employment Of a county n
gent in any county il is neces.
sary that that county furnish
an automobile and office fully
equipped and that they make
an appropriation OF not less
than 81. 800 per year for the
work. Having the automobile
and office equipment on hand
It would cost Phillips county
not more than 81, 800 per year

MUST LICENSE
 SALE OF TREES

Little Rock, March 31.-Under the Nursery Fraud Act of the last legis- lature, the sale of all fruit trees must be licensed by the state plant board. The licensing does not supersede in- spection, but supplements it. It is probable that an adequate fumigation plant may be required, and fumiga- tion prescribed at inspection time. < It is necessary to nursery in- spection be permitted as late in the season as possible, and to prescribe treatment of nursery stock with means of enforcement.
 Licenses provided for by the new act are to be issued July 1. Means arc to be provided for the importation o1 wholesale nursery stock into the state from firms not licensed and bonded the importer being licensed and bond. ed. It has been suggested that small dealers in the state be allowed to fur: nish personal bond to fulfill the re-
 quirements of the law, but all foreigr
 nurseries should furnish surety bonds

A NICE BOQUET.

Editor, Pine Bluff Daily Graphic, I take this method of expressing my thanks and appreciation to the citizens of Pine Bluff for the many kind words and for the untiring ef- forts and for the great hospitality shown the delegates of the w. o. w. and the Ladies Circle of the w. o. w.
 Be it said to the people of Pine Bluff that in the years to come the w. o. w. will have other conventions at different points over the state but we shall never forget the time when we were in the city of so noble a peo- pie as the people of Pine Bluff. A city of great financial income, a city of magnificent buildings good church. es and schools, and so far as we are as we are able to see city of good reputation for her moral standing.
 We wish to thank the mayor of Pine Bluff for the many kind words and for his hearty welcome he gave to the delegates of both w. O.. w. and Circle. We wish to extend our highest regards and best wishes to the Business Mems Club, to the w. o. w. band, of which Prof. Ashford is instructor.
 May Gods richest blessings rest and abide with the people of Pine Bluff. We wish to be remembered to the Citizens Bank people for their polite and courteous way in which they treated the w. O. w.
 We wish to extend our hearty ap- preciation to the local camps of Pine Bluff for their efforts to entertain the w. o. w. With a good will and wish for all fthe good citizens of Pine Bluff,
 l am Fraternally yours,

 Mayor of Murial Springs, Ark. Clerk of Camp 281,.

sesses the fine, Frenchly, courtly geniality of New Orleans, the polish ed culture and po1iteness of Boston, and the big-hearted, generous, dead game sporting spirit of old Louisville, Ky, and if you want any better ma terlal for fine town you will have to wait for the millennium, or until Dardanelle gets it's growth.
 But it is the good roads of Pine Bluff that wish to refer to mainly, and that will entitle this paper to publication don't know how long they are, nor how many there are, for my observation was only superfi- cial, but enough to convince me that they are the most, important factor in the growth and prosperity of that
 fine city. In every direction they ruin away, some as straight as a rifle shot. and far as the eye can reach, and some curved to fit the winding shores of long, deep lakes of clear brown water, shayen smooth to the edge and margined with dimpling lily pads, and all stone-faced, smooth and solid, as though built to last forever. Our country could in no scheme on earth make an investment that would return such rich reward as good roads. It is cotton coun- try, is Jefferson county, and the plan tations are simply vast, and the soil is deep and rich to 1fo end, but be- fore the construction of the roads, as through most fertile bottom lands , the mud and mire of the winter time made transportation to the market SC enormously difficult that many of-the farms were undesirable and cheap but since all that is eliminated many fortunes have been made by reason of the increase of facilities and val ue, for now without regard to tht
 power of team or; engine, they sim ply load the vehicle. Any road tha
 the truck or wagon will bear, tht
 mules or the motor will move. NJ citizen of our country who has evel visited any section of our state where
 such roads are tho rule, has any ar
 gument to offer to the contrary Oul people are to be congratulated upor the enterprise in this behalf now pending"

Bluff should erect a fitting nemor ial, not only to perpetuate the mem ory of these fighters and workers bu to symbolize the spirit of apprecia ton that exists for their efforts, ant the whole hearted support, both nor al and financial, that was given by those who could not serve actively themselves.
 There are two memorials, either o1 which would be appropriate that Pint Bluff could well institute to carry out the modern idea of service te the community. The one is a city park, and the other municipal audi torium.
 The needs of park for the city have been reviewed too often to re- peat. The city has urgent need of a municipal breathing spot TOW and as time elapses the need becomes more vital. A picturesque plot with a band stand for public concerts and a playground for the youths of the city would be both timely and, ap- propriate.
 As for the auditorium, there is no place at the present time that can serve Pine Bluff as community center. There is no auditorium large enough to accommodate lecturers. concert and chatauqua artists, local entertainments and benefit perform ances, public rallies and mass meet ings or the state and county conven- tions that are held here periodically. A city auditorium would fill long felt need. In some cities the auditor oum is located in the city hall, and there is ample room in Pine Bluff for new home for the city govern ment authorities. In others it is an individual building. However, that matter should be left to the commit tee appointed to arrange for the memorial
 The time is opportune for a memor- ial in Pine Bluff and undoubtedly should one of the civic organizations launch memorial campaign they would find the citizens heartily in favor of the plan.

INTERESTING VIEWS
 ON CURRENT NEWS.
Editor of The, Daily Graphic,

Editor of The, Daily Graphic,
 Dear Sir:-
 Your paper has always solicited the
 opinion of citizens, especially on sub
 jects of interest to the interest of the
 city and citizens of Pine Bluff.
 The important subject of voting on
 the annexation of hundreds of acres
 of land and thousands of lots to the
 city on Tuesday April lst
 Il can't believe the citizen who has
 taken time enough to look over the
 large scope of undeveloped territory, will be willing to ask the owners out
 side of the city to be annexed to help pay the large indebtedness the city
 now owes without getting the direct
 benefit from the city at this time,
 much less to compell them to come in by vote of those who live in the city. Of course those who are out side of the city have no vote in the city.
 Some may urge the large annexa- tion without considering the expense the disadvantage to others. There are hundreds and hundreds of lots and hundreds of acres of land in this proposed annexation without even a cabin on them.
 The expense, which must be borne by the owners in the proposed an l. nexation, must be paid by them in forming new Sewer District and oth- CT public utilities. The value of many of the said tracts of land would not pay for said Improvements. If it was possible for said owners to secure materials and labor at the excessive high cost, they could not possibly hope to secure revenue enough to justify the expense. Why not wait for demand for these out of way places? The properties adjacent to the city limits which can secure the public utilities and the protection of the city at a minimum cost should be al lowed to annex.
 The large neighborhood around the River Side School and North of the Cotton Belt big shops has never beer annexed to the city and yet it has the same careful attention by the same superintendent as the rest o1 the city schools. The Cotton Belt shops large oil mill interest and other industrial plants near the pub lie utilities might be annexed first then spread out as the demands justi. fly. I want to help my bit and am working for a bigger Pine Bluff, but

IN MEMORIUM.

Practically every city in the Uni ted States Is planning, in one way or another. to honor the boys and young men of their communities who went into the service of their coun- try and did their bit for humanity and civilization. And especially are the memorials dedicated to those who made the supreme sacrifice for the cause.
 The old time memorial, . massive rich arch at the head of some busy thoroughfare q monu- ment at some secluded corner, or statute of the victorious Tank, rerrhed high upon marble pedestal, is growing in disfavor. The modern idea is memorial that combines an imposing structure with an institu- tion that ui1l perpetuate the memory of the heroic fighters by serving those for whom they made the sac rificc. Libraries, city auditoriums, set clement houses and other institutions of public service are being built tc minister to the needs of the various cites They are living memorials.
