JACKSON HIGHWAY
AGAIN IN L|MEL|CHT
SPECIAL SESSION CALLED TO IN
vESTIGATE ACTION OF ROAD
SUPERVISORS.
DONATION FROM The STATE
Opinion Is That Parish Jury Acted
Upon Erroneous Presumption in
Attempting To Set Aside the
Sum of 100000.

Jonesboro, La. The grand jury
called in special session here primar-
fly for Investigating the action of the
board OF supervisors OF road construc-
tion for Jackson parish, filed its final
report, returning four true bills in
other matters and commendign the
members of the board OF supervisors
for the honest. practical and econom-
zeal manner they have handled the
road construction.
The report says In part:
I'VE find thot In few instances ex-
cCssive prices have been paid for
right OF way, and that even wire fenc-
ing has been purchased and used to
enclose property belonging to private
persons. While we are not In position
70 say that In no instance should the
board OF supervisors pay for right OF
way, but we do not believe that IL
should In any case 60 on record as
purchasing the material and building
fences. We appeal to all public spir-
ited citizens to make every reasonable
sacrifice to the end that the money
now on hand may be used in building
and constructing roads throughous the
parish with as little loss to or extor-
ton on the road funds az reasonably
possible.
I'VE are assured by those In charge
Of the road building that they have
received the promise OF the State
Highway Department that, II the pres
ent plans to construct an east ad west
and a north and south road through
the parish are carried out, we can
secure a donation from the state and
federal government OF about $6O,0oo
on the east and west road and about
$3.50. 900 on the north and south road.
This board of supervisors assures us
that the ordinary roads throughout
the parish are now being worked as
rapidly as possible and that by late
fall they expect to have every road In
the parish worked In good shape, all
at an expenditure OF not over seven
or eight thousand dollars. Our inves
tigation convinces us that 1t is prob
able that the board OF supervisors can
do this, for we find that many miles
OF road have already been worked by
them throughout the parish.
1T is our opinion that the jury OF
OUR parish acted upon an erroneous
presumption or statemet nf facts In
attempting to set aside the sum OF
100000 for the purpose Of working
the roads generally throughout the
parish. II this should be done 1t would
probably result in neither the north or
south roads being completed and the
people never deriving the benefit for
the $242,sS5S3 which has been spent
ct the present time.

CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Who among us would say to-day, Il
never use Dentifrice; l never have to-"
Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may
seem, not one person in 1000 used
Dentifrice-or even a tooth brush.
So to-day, after more than 80 years of
persistent publicity of Aliens Foot=Ease,
the Antiseptic Powder for the Feet, not
many well-turned-out people care to con-
TESS, "You know I never have to use
Powder for the Feet!"
More than One Million five hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during
the war.
The reason is this: Confning the feet
in Leather or Canvas Shoes is bound to
create friction more or less. Aliens Foot
Ease removes the friction from the shoes.
1t is this friction which causes callouses,
corns and bunions. You know what fric-
ton does to your motor-car axle. Why
not remove it from your footwear by
Shaking into your Shoes today, Aliens
Foot=Ease, the cleanly, wholesome, heal
ing, Antiseptic powder! Get the habit,
Is millions now have it, who inhabit our,
a. yet, imperfect world.-Adv.
