She does not know why she goes to those places, but her parents should have experience enough to know, and if they will not protect their daughters, the courts will have to step in and protect society and the future generations by segregating these girls.
 That the Juvenile Court has a ''man sized" job before it. is we'll known by everybody in the county except the parents of the girls who are unchaperoned on the streets of the various towns at all hours of the day and night.
 This is not a new wave of i'm morality" but the natural in. crease of the unchecked immor- alitv of passed years. The Red Cross had a record. about three years ago. of four cases of vener- cal diseases among girls in Ozark, we are told by reliable authority. and said that if these girls were not segregated. this disease would be scattered over the country. We all know that they were not segregated. and we know that they led several other girls as- tray.
 Everyone should help this court save the young people of our county.

Wants Road To St. Pan|

District Superintendent John son of the Pekin Cooperage Com pany, who lives at Parthenon, Newton County, says that the great Arkansas cut off of the lief ferson Highway Is now in fine shape from Russellville north through Pope county and the national forest and through Newton up to Jasper and on to Harrison, in Boone. Johnson says that in the course of a few miles the other day in Newton County he saw more than fifty auto tourist cars on the Jefferson Highway, and that the pictures que scenery in the mountains of Newton County is now attract ing tourists from many states of the union since this region is be- ing advertised by the Motor Club at Little Rock.
 Diamond Cave. near Jasper, is now becoming as famous for its dazzling splendors in it's rooms of stalagmites and stalac- tites are as the beauties of Nam moth Cave in Kentucky. In fact. many tourists say the Dia- mond Cave Is superior to any other cave for kaleidoscope beauty.

Smith high way at Ozark. With a good road already completed from Hunts vile to Eureka Springs. this plan would then make a direct cutoff from the Jefferson Highway at the latter place to the Little Rock -Ft.

The country between here and St. Paul has no road over which they can haul a ful load to market. Vast resources of timber is unavailable at pres. ent for the lack of transportation facilities.

Juvenile Court Organized

MIS. n. J. NiDSOi, Ol Lttlic Rock, was in Ozark Friday for the purpose of organizing a Juv- chile Court for Franklin county.
 As there is a law in the statue providing for a Juvenile court in each county. and as it has been heartily endorsed here, an organ ization was perfected as follows:
 Probation Officer. Mrs. D. B. Anderson: Board Members; Dr. Thos. Douglass. Supt w. I.Agee. Prof. J. G. Moore. Atty. G. c. Carter, Mrs. John Greer. Mrs. E. w. Black burn, Mrs. J. c. Wake field. The County Judge is, by virtue of his office. chairman of the board and Mrs. J. c. Wake field was elected secretary of the board.
 The next meeting will be Fri. day night. Sept. l6. in the Coun- ty Judges office.
 This court is intended to hand le boys and girls under 2l years of age. and especially those gull ty of moral delinquency. That there is an urgent need ot it in Ozark and Franklin county has been recognized by our county officials and school authorities fer some time. The only ones who seem indifferent to the increase in immortality are the parents of the girls who roam our streets and take auto rides at late hours at nights. Some of these parents are waking up to the great dan ger their daughters are in. and some realize the bitter fact that they have awakened too late. Several have acknowl- edged that their daughters have getton beyond their control, and these parents will welcome the aid of this court. One parent. some weeks ago. came to the County Judge and asked him to to talk to his daughter, hoping that he. as Juvenile officer, could influence her to stay off the street at night. A lady proba- tion officer can deal with such cases much better than coun. ty judge. and we hope some of these girls can be saved. That 8 girl has. in moment of over Whelming passion aroused by a round of dancing in the embrace of a youngsm sman. an auto ride in the dark. or sex suggestive show, has yielded herself to her escort does not necessarily mean that she is human wreckage on the sea of life.

membership fee for one year is 81 and
there should be no difficulty in filling
the quota assigned TO this county. II

The relief work of the Red Cross

instances the Red Cross works with
them. Particularly has the Red
Cross worked in harmony with the
county commissioners and the relief
committee of the Elks in assisting
cases of need. and the results have
been most satisfactory.
The Red Cross has a wide scope
and its assistance includes everything
from supplying material needs in the
way OF food, medicine and clothing to
the needy and unfortunate. to adj

service men with their correspond

The two officials are not unduly

plenty OF proofs in it's chirography to
show that It was inspired by someone
prompted by purely personal feelings.
There Is no clue as to the writer g

The telephone threat to Deputy
