BRIDGE MEN BAKED
 PULASKI COUNTY
Grand urJy Charges That They Serve Selfish Interests Instead of Tax payers-In Road District,
 Also.

Little Rock, Ark, August 31.-- Another scathing report on Pulaski ceunty's road district officials was made in a special report by the couu- ty grand jury today.
 The report urged that two members of the bridge commission be replaced and that instead of men selfishly in- terested in one or the other of the pro- posed bridges, two tax payers having no selfish interests be named. The report said that the grand jury felt one new bridge across the Arxansas and recommended that construction of a second bridge be deferred.
 There has been fight between Main and Broadway streets business interests, each represented on the bridge commission and as result the commission has started construction of both bridges simultaneously.
 The report recommended that E |. o. Bagley, Pulaski county member of the Little Rock-Hot Springs com- mission be forced to resign or be busted.
 It is charged that he had not pro- tected the county interests. The road was projected, the report said to re- coup losses threatened to persons who had purchased large real estate hold ings in anticipation of construction of an interurban line between the two cities. Mir. Bagley, the report said, was a member of the legislature, and while as such also was secretary of the real estate company and legislated himself onto the commission on a sal ary basis. The report also recon mended the displacing of the Saline and Garland county members of the commission.
 Removal of Justin Matthews from the bridge commission also was re- commended. Preliminary steps have ben taken to form an organization t. have jurisdiction over the entire road program of the country.

HAVE SET ABOUT ID CRUSH kA|SER|TES
German Chancellor Reclares Republic Must Be Preserved-Movement to Return to Old Regime Alarming
 Hope Trouble Will Die Out.

Berlin, Aug. 31.-"The German re. public is in great danger" Chancellor Wirth declared in an interview today revealing the serious extent to which the kaiserist movement has spread. land it has now become our duty to take our stand against the forces which are opposed to the unity of the German empire"
 The wave of resentment against the monarchists, whose activities are held to have inspired the assassination of Matthias Erzberger, is sweeping thru out the republic, and has been crystal ized in direct action by the British government to crush the Ludendorff- Von der Foltz faction and smash its attempt to arouse sentiment for the old regime.
 Clashes Feared Today.
 Clashes are feared when demon strations by both the "workers" ana the reactionaries take place, but the government is taking every precau- tion to hold down the angry spirit ot the masses and curb completely the activities of the kaiserists. Safety police will be on duty in the danger sections, and certain areas are com pletely barred to the public, with pa trol re-enforcements scattered thru out the main streets. The citv's bar racks have been filled with reserves armed with hand grenades and rifles
 The ultimatum of the government declaring it's intention to end forever any agitation against the republic, was hailed with delight by the work CTS, and the press has already showi. distinct change in it's attitude to- wards the reactionary elements.
 Laborite leaders claiming to repre- sent 1 million German people called in a deputation upon Chancellor Wirth. demanding vigorous measures for the protection of the republic, and the dis charge immediately of all members ot the reichstag participating in any anti-republican demonstrations.
 Hope Trouble Will Die Out.
 It is believed that after the funeral of Erzberger, who is to be buried Friday, the situation may become less tense. But the public, apparently just aroused to the seriousness of the situation which began with inflamma- tory speeches in the reichstag, con. tinued in fiery meetings of the front lighters" and eliminated in the death of Erzberger, is in bitter frame of mind, and continuation of the Lud- endorf propaganda, in the face ot government restriction and popular displeasure, is certain to result in clash which will be felt to the remot- est parts of Germany.
 Two cadets have been arrested on charges of complicity in the plot to assassinate Erzberger.
 Gag on Nationalist Press.
 Berlin, Aug. 31.-The minister of the interior yesterday prohibited the publication of several Nationalist or gans, including the Deutsche Zeitung. in accordance with the deree issued Tuesday by President Ebert barring publications likely to encourage sedi- tious movements"

 |. OF BONDS RETIRED
Arkansas Improvement Districts Meet Obligations Promptly and This Is Worst Year Ever Seen-State
 Should Be Proud of Record.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette
 One of the leading bond houses of the country and one that has dealt largely in Arkansas securities gives an impressive answer to statements in Eastern papers that because of Arkansas road program the people are on the verge of bankruptcy.
 This firm had Arkansas improve ment bonds worth s1,6OO,0OO in prin- cipal and interest, maturing on Au- gust 1 and on September 1. With the exception of one item of $1,00O, and this payment was delayed for a short time only, every dollar was promptly paid. Despite the sensational yarns in Eastern papers, Arkansans are not bankrupt and Arkansas credit has not been impaired.
 In letter to the Gazette, one of the executive officers of this bond concern says:
 Every Nickel Paid.
 'I want to tell how wonderfully Arr kansas has measured up to it's obliga- tions that were distributed thru our organizations. I reckon that we have handled more Arkansas bonds than any other investment banker. We had over $1 100000 of principal and inter- est maturing an August first and Sep- tember first. I am delighted to say that every nickel of it has been paid, with the exception of one item amounting to S1,000, that we have had to carry for from 30 to 60 days eack year for the last 10, owing to faulty construction of the bonds, rather than inability of the taxpayers to meet the obligation.
 "This is a record of which any state should be proud and If Arkansas during the worst year that it has ever experienced, can meet it's obli- gations in this splendid manner, we should eneouragingiy look forward to ita future credit.
 Not only has Arkansas met the obligations that it created thru us, but. in my opinion, the tax collections have been better in your state than in any of the surrounding states. Cont parisons are odious. but Missouri, for instance, has not been nearly so prompt ia the payment of it's taxes as has Arkansas the last year"

HOOVER OPTIMISTIC
 TOWARD FUTURE
Writes Sell Now League That We Have Passed the Valley of the Busi- ness Depression--Human Animal
 Goes on Consuming.

Herbert Hoover believes that goods can be sold right now by consistent, persistent effort. He also believes that business is recovering from the slump.
 The Sell Now League, wh ch was started as the result of Cosmopoli- tan editorial, has been carrying on a campaign to encourage salesmen, merchants and manufacturers to sell their products more intensively to that part of the consuming public which is in a position to buy them.
 Mir. Hoover, who has been interest ed in the progress of this movement, recently sent the following letter to J. Mitchell Thorsen, Chairman of the Sell Now League. He is optimistic and his remarks will be inspiring to business men generally. J. Mitchell Thorsen, Esq, Sell Now League,
 119 West 40th Street,
 New York City.
 My dear Mir. Thorsen:
 There is never very long period in peace times when goods cannot be sold by consistent, persistent, effort simply because the human animal goes on consuming. He slows up at times, but over long term both his production and consumption is always increasing.
 We have had fourteen depressions since the Civil War and fourteen per- iods of prosperity, each of the latter greater than the one before. We have passed the valley in this slump-the worst and most rapid we have ever fallen into--but we are coming out If # steadily thru the intelligence and capacity of our business men.
 Faithfully yours.
 Herbert Hoover.

cLEMENCY FOR DEBs,
Officials Hint That President May Free
 the Socialist Leader.

Washington, Sept. S.-Possibility that President Harding, after the for maj conclusion of peace with Ger many, may thru extension of execu- tive clemency, open the doors of the Atlanta penitentiary to Eugene Debs, the Socialist leader, was suggested today by administration officials.
 Reports were general until a few days ago, altho without official con firmation, that Attorney General Daugherty would recommend that Debs be pardoned This belief, how ever, was lessened by the emphatic stand taken by Mir. Daugherty in his American Bar Association address of last Wednesday against release of what he called political offenders. !"

When You Consider Your Troubles
Thing of "Wash" Forehand.
Any time you think you have a real
bunch Of troubles. just compare your
lot with, that of Wash" Forehand, of
Texlinc, Texas.
Here is what Wash" did-what he
had to do:
He mothered family of six little
children.
He cultivated and raised big crop
Of 250 acres, by himself.
He canned G50 quarts of fruits and
vegetables.
He put up lard, butter. ham, bacon
and sansages.
He made his own supply of soap.
He nursed three Of his children
through Il nearly fatal illness.
He cooked all the meals for himself
and children.
All these deeds, Forehand did
single handed. 1t took 100 per cent
American pluck-and wash had it.
Wash is Il blacksmith by trade. He
moved into Texas two years ago and
bought farm.
Just after locating on it, his wife
died. leaving him the care Of six chill
dren. The youngest was tiny baby
daughter. '16 days old. The oldest was
n boy of II. The baby weighed less
than three pounds. Neishbor women
said it couldn't live.
But Wash" was determined. that it
should live-and it did! The daugh-
ter Is NOW rosy-cheeked child OF
two years.
Forehand had no assistance during
the two years. except for few weeks
when he employed a housckeeper. The
rest of the time he was furmcr farm
hand. cook and teacher. Last summer
two Of his children had typhoid. He
nnrscd them through
All this time, farming $50 acres, un-
aided.
The War and Navy Departments
alone award medals. But the Depart
ment Of Agriculture ought to give 4
distinguished service cross and the
Department Of Labor Il citation for
bravery to Wash" Forehand.
There arc plenty of others like
Wash" iIorchand-plenty' Of unsung
unmedaled heroes of pc3ce: Some are
men. Sumo are women. Patiently they
do their full duty-100 per cent Amer
ican, the backbone OF our republic.
