DAMASCUS SEEKS
 ACR|. INSTRUCTOR

With more than the required num- Der of boys ready to enter classes in agriculture and vocational training, the public school at Damascus has made application to County Supt. A. A. Parsons, Jr., for the appointment of Smith-Hughes instructor in these two lines. It is required under the Smith Hughes act that rural public school must have 30 boys between the ages of IA and 21 years, who would take agriculture and vocational training. Damascus has this number in one grade Mr. Parsons will send the request through the usual chan nels and it probably will be acted upon favorably. Vilonia is the only community in the county now having Smith h-Hughes man on duty at it's public school.

tion. In it reside undoubtedly ma jority of the population of the state and probably three-fourths of the white citizens of the state. h 1t she would meet with no competition from a city of her size nearer than Okla homa City or ansas City, whereas the business of eastern Arkansas goes largely to Memphis and that of north ern Arkansas to St. Louis.
 It is true that during the great wave of road legislation in 1919 and 1920, Little Rock, after having pro vided for magnificent concrete and as phalt highways to the south, to the east and to the north, for network of expensive roads in some instances parelleling each other so closely that 2 stone could be thrown from one to the other-after doing all this and having no other direction in which a road could possibly be built, finally included in district a road which would tap the great northwestern half of Arkansas, the Little Rock and Pa larm road. But this district was al lowed to sleep for nearly two years, and had it not been for the clearer vision of Roy L. Thompson, who when asked to serve as one of it's commis- sioners consented to do so solely be- cause he saw there ought to be a road leading northwest from the state capital, it would probably be sleep ing yet.
 That road, we now believe, will be built in the near future, and when 1t is completed, it is to be hoped that Little Rock will begin to realize that all of Arkansas that is worth while does not lie to her south and east.

Traffic is going straight over the roadway from Conway to Woost- CT except for two small gaps For about two or three days of next week, the road will be closed on account of construction on the Beaver Fork bridge, and it will be necessary to detour by the Greenbrier road. Base courses of rock are being laid over the Damascus road, the principal construction work at present.

ORGANIZE NEW FARM
 CLUBS OVER COUNTY

Agriculture clubs were organized this week at Damascus and Martin vile, and clubs at Martinville and Guy were re-organized for the new year. Mrs. c. D. Turner, home agent, visited these clubs during the week and also at Faulkner Gap, returning last night to Conway. Miss Martha Gretchen, Red Cross worker assigned here, was with Mrs. Turner and gave demonstrations in first aid to the drowned, making of modern bandages, dressing wounds and making mustard plasters The audience before which the demonstrations were given were much enthused and highly praised Miss Cretcher's work.
 Robert Martin of Martinville has donated the use of ten acres of ground to the boys corn club of that community, and ten of it's members will be assigned to cultivate one acre each

LITTLE ROCK AND NORTH
 WEST ARKANSAS.

"The more important roads
 lead from Little Rock to
 Texarkana, Little Rock to Mem
 phis, Little Rock to the Missouri
 state line and from Little Rock
 to the Louisiana state line.'
 The above paragraph is taken from . story in the Arkansas Democrat of Friday regarding the designation by the state highway commission Of a state system of roads.
 ''The more important roads" it will be noticed, lead in every direction from Little Rock except west and northwest.
 A glance at the map of Arkansas shows that the Missouri Pacific's St Louis-Texarkana line, running from the northeast to the southwest cor ner, divides the area almost exactly in half Yet, so far as Little Rock is concerned, the upper of the two tri- angles simply does not exist, That "the more important roads all lead in the other directions aptly states the attitude of Little Rock for a gen. eration or more.
 Little Rock years ago built hard surfaced roads to the north, to the east, to the southeast and to the south; she has cultivated the business and assiduously sought to win the friendship and support of all that ter ritory lying on the left-hand side of the Missouri Pacific in the state; but all the time she has kept her back turned upon the northwestern and western half of Arkansas.
 The. reason for this position is diff ficult to imagine. Why Little Rock does not occasionally face about, look to the northwest and open her eyes to the wonderful possibilities ot this great area is beyond explana-
