ENTHUSIASM FOR
 GOOD ROADS MEET
Ex-GOy. Trough Will Be One of the Principal Speakers at the Meeting of U. S. Good Roads Association April 1923.

Greensboro, N. C., April 10.-En- thusiastic interest is being aroused over the coming meeting of the United States Good Roads Associa- tion, the Bankhead National High way Association and the United States Good Roads Show which will be held in Greensboro, April 1923 The official program of this great event will be announced within the next few days
 J. A. Rountree, who is director gen eral of these great organizations, and who has charge of the exclusive details, has received letters and tele- grams from all parts of the country to reserve hotel accommodations and space at the show from delegates from over 40 states in the Union. These delegates are made up of lead ing citizens in their respective states who are going to take part in this great epoch-making convention which will pass the strongest resolutions possible and appoint the ablest dele gation that can be selected to go on to Washington and urge congress to make a billion dollar appropriation for the continuation of the building of good roads under the transconti- mental highways. Another movement will be started for the purpose of in ducing congress to pass an act ap- propriating from year to year the interest on the war debts due the United States by the allies. These three policies will be advocated and carried out by the association.
 The opening session of the conven- tion will take place in the Guilford county million dollar court house. It will be most brilliant affair. The delegates from all parts of the country and the citizens of Greens boro will turn out en masse The convention will be called to order by Director General J. A. Rountree, who will introduce the mayor of Greens boro and Governor Cameron Morr- son, representing State of North Carolina, who will deliver welcome addresses. These will be responded to by ex-Gov. Chas. H. Brough, pres- dent of the U. g. Good Roads Asso- citation, who will take charge of the convention and preside over all the meetings.

FOR COMPROMISE. BRITAIN HOPES
Volunteers Flock to Service Pending Conferences Two Views Taken-Expect Agree ment Today.

London, April 10.-Today was 3 day Of relaxation from the tension created by the coal strike and the possibility of a general industrial tie up and gave the cabinet members and labor leaders an opportunity to get into the country for a rest.
 Opinion on the present aspect of the crisis continues favorable, but meanwhile all precautionary meas ures and recruiting of volunteers are proceeding actively and will not be relaxed until the miners are back to work. These preparations formed q great attraction for Londoners today who, apparently no longer haunted by the fear of strikes by the railway men and transport workers, crowded the parks and rivers, enjoyed the brilliant sunshine It was a striking contrast to Saturday, when fears of untoward developments kept the ner- vous suburban population in it's homes.
 Two important views were appar- ent today. The first was the conf dent belief among the labor leaders that, now that an unfettered confer ence is assured, greater number of bumpers will return to their duties, although under the terms of the agreement they only are required to abstain from molesting volunteer workers. The second was that the government, while firmly opposing a subsidy, is willing for limited period to afford some temporary assistance to tide industry over the difficult stage It also is believed that the whole wage basis recently proposed by the mine owners, which originated the dispute, will be discarded and a new basis formulated for the miners consideration.
 In speech at Rugby J. H. Thomas, secretary of the National Union of Railway Men, said the agreement was not victory for anybody, but rather "a triumph for common cause"
 There is a general belief among labor men that something in the form of national agreement will result from the conference tomorrow, or at least standard minimum wage with some system of bonuses for districts where exceptional conditions prevail.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, May 9.-It appears that the gasoline tax will cause un- limited trouble and confusion before method or agency can be agreed upon for it's enforcement. Attorney General Utley has been endeavoring to untangle the complications that have arisen, but the deeper he gets into the problems, the more complex 1t becomes. In an effort to solve the problem, conference of state of ficials and persons interested in the gasoline business has been called for 2 p. m. next Monday in the gover- nor's office. It appears that there is no method provided in the law for it's enforcement.

BACK TO THE RURAL
 COMMUNITY

Many, far too many of our leading citizens from the rural communities are moving to town.
 The general effect of town life on the families who go there for educa- tional and social advantages is to render the entire family unhappy and to destroy their financial and social independence.
 If the children or the older of them are so thorough, all may be well with them. But if they meet unexpected obstacles in school work and are al lowed to influence the parents they may soon be out of school to return no more. In an experience of ten years in school work in towns not more than 2OGc of the children who moved from the rural districts have finished the eighth grade and not 5%o of those who had completed the eighth grade in the rural schools fin ished the town high school.
 The farmer who sells to move to town usually finds living in town more expensive than he expected. If he is not really strong financially or 2 good manager, he meets disap- pointments of an unexpected kind. Mother and daughter are not often received open armed into that class of society they longed for, and even if they are they are often confronted with humiliating circumstances and conditions. That good mother may see the day when her daughter will see fit to remind her of her lapses of English or her comfortable style of dress. She may soon realize that while at home in the country, she was leader in society or at least
 u..I ~on;aI etandinor. U,

town she is not even in society of the kind she desired. She may see the time when she will do the cooking, the washing, the ironing, as well as the mending while an overdressed, be-powdered, be-painted, wayward daughter meets the trains or takes night drives with questionable asso- ciates. Both father and mother may soon feel less comfortable in the town church than they did in the rural meeting house, and finally may discontine their visits there and sit out their lonely Sundays at home If the son has really been an active worker in rural activities and a lead CT in the rural school he may find it to his liking in town and quickly ad- just himself to conditions in good society. Upon the other hand if he has been used to his so-called privi- leges in the country or if he has been accustomed to treat rural activities as not worth while, there is little question as to whom he will soon turn for boon companions-and the country boy or the country girl will be lost to the world so far as useful ness is concerned.
 Parents in thier efforts to give bet ter school advantages to their chil- dren, many of the rural sections of Arkansas as well as many other states have been to a very great ex- tent depopulated. The results are farms less productive, homes and fences decayed or dilapidated, mea- dows grown up in weeds, rural church desolate and deserted with the ad- joining cemetery neglected, rural preacher starved or gone, never to re- turn because the flock no longer hearken to his voice, community ac- tivities of all kinds discontinued or on the wane. The one three-room school in now taught by one young lady who made a second grade in March, while the other two rooms are given over to broken desks, old stoves, several charts, and the last remains of the dictionary. Interest in local government is at low ebb and few of the peaceable population could name the constable of the township or the directors of the school district No more spelling matches, singing schools, prayer meetings, Sunday ser mons with dinner on the ground.
 We want to save Nevada county from this condition by establishing a county system of schools that will meet the needs of the people.

 County Superintendent.

RID KENNEDY
 IS BOUND OVER
Man Who Shot Will Barker, His Neighbor, a Weeg Ago Will Also Be Taken to State Hos pitaI for Nervous Diseases.

At a preliminary hearing Saturday before Justice Burns, Bud Kennedy. well-to-do farmer residing II miles south of Prescott, was bound over to await the action of the grand iurv in July, on a charge of assault with intent to kill. 1t is alleged that Ken nedy shot Will Barker Sunday. April as the result of a misunderstanding about a fight between Frank Miller. son-in-law of Kennedy, and Pierson Sampson, on the same day.
 At the hearing Saturday a number of witnesses testified that Kennedy had been acting abnormally for the past year, since the death of his son. and since he had a case of influenza Some of the witnesses stated that in their opinion he was unbalanced and the attorney for Kennedy endeavored to prove that he was in this condition when the shooting occurred. The state introduced witnesses to prove that Kennedy was rational. Wit nesses testified that as close friends of Kennedy they had been called over at different times when he would have bad spell and that he talked and acted like a crazy man, in their opin- ion. Others stated that they had never noticed any signs of insanity in the man.
 The court ordered him bound over to await the action of the grand jury and the county judge will have Ken nedy examined today by two physi- clans and he will be taken to the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases at Little Rock for a second examina- ton with a view to ascertaining if his commitment to the hospital is neces- Sary. Constable Murrah was called to Kennedy's home yesterday and after arriving there found that Ken nedy had so-called spell during which he broke out the windows of his home and broke furniture, dishes etc., and Constable Murrah took the man in charge, tied him to the bed of his home and returned today to bring him to Prescott.
 Frank Miller, Kennedy's son-in- hw, was also bound over to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of disturbing the peace. Pierson Sampson, with whom Miller had the light, plead guilty and was assessed a fine of $1 and costs.

Relation"
Doing without things is
not real thrift. Genuine
thrift is careful buy
ing. One cannot prac-
tice thrift unless one
buys things. One does
not call a miser thrifty.
TO thrive, one must
husband his resources,
but need not hoard
them.
The prosperity of the
nation requires that
everyone shall buy the
things he or she needs,
so that all industries
shall be active.
Personal thrift builds
ones individual pros
perity, and is best ex-
pressed by careful Sc
lection of things need
ed for ones comfort
and happiness, and Sc
curing them at f a ir

The miser is useless to
