This same elocution teacher goes
on to say that the pure voice is the
natural voice for the expression OF
all pure sentiment. He says the
voice should always be pure unless
the sentiment expressed is so harsh,
intense or violent that it disarranges
the vocal organs. Ordinary senti-
ment. he says, is expressed by the
normal voice. For this the throat
should be open and flexible. the
words easily and clearly pronounced.
All lofty or ennobling sentiment
is expressed by the orotund voice
which is only the normal voice en-
larged and ennobled. The voice has
a resonance given it by the head and
chest and the vowels are sounded
more prominently than in ordinary
conversation.
What he called the pectoral voice
is very low, the resonance comes
from the lower part of the chest. 1t
is used in reciting very solemn or
supernatural passage If YOU have

 News of Interest.

The week has seen new develop tie River county oil development news The news may be summarized as fol- lows:
 Tie Roberts Oil Corporation has the tinlbers on the ground at their location two and one-half miles east of Ash down on the Ernest Hale farm.
 The Brookshire well at Allene, ten miles north of here, which has been suspended for several months, has again resumed operations with new capital and new people connected with Mr. Brookshire. They were down some HOO feet when drilling ceased with fine prospects.
 Reports from the DuLaney well on Red River, south of Richmond and on tbe Texas side, are that they are down o,D1C feet with good showings and that drilling is proceeding with caution.
 Texas people have unloaded a drill tug rig at Winthrop in the north end of the county and will shortly begin operations on leases near that place.
 At Arden, the GrOte interests are waiting the arrival of casing to resume work.
 At Foreman, the Sullivan interests have moved their drilling machinery to the site of the Sullivan No. 2 north of town, and are getting ready to begin drilling.

Urges Passage of Farm
 Crop Marketing Bill

Washington, b. C.. May 4. - The story of an Arkansas farmer who sold two calf hides for 93 cents and then was charged 40 cents for a piece of facing leather half inch wide was read into the record today by Repre- sentative Tillman of Arkansas during a speech in supporting the farmers CO., operative marketing bill.
 MT. Tillman also took occasion to reply to Representative Walsh o1
 sachusetts, who had characterized tho bill as class legislation.
 Since when did statesmen from New England become frightened at class legislation? he asked. A vast money aristrocracy has grown up ln that exclusive and cultured section because of class legislation, but be 1t understood that the INew England idea of class legislation always has been to extend special and profitable tariff protection to her citizenry en- gagged in manufacturing clothing, shoes and a thousand other necessary articles and let the consumer of those products and the farmer go hang.'
 After reading the article from the Fayetteville Democrat, MT. Tillman declared that it was the favored sec tion of New England that manufac- tured the piece of lacing string which cost the farmer as much as an entire calf hide, and to which he had to pay tribute when he went to purchase new harness or saddle for his sons riding horse.

3,972 MILES OF ROAD
 BEING BUILT IN STATE
Is Considerably More Than One-Third of the Mileage Originally
 Planned.

Little Rock, May 6.-Despite havoc wrought among road districts by the last legislature, figures in the State Highway Department show that 2.972 miles of road are under construction considerably more than one-third or the mileage originally planned
 Tables prepared in the department covering all projects of state and show that 43 districts have been com pleted and accepted, with mileage of 567. This mileage is ,. per cent Of the aggregate planned during the six year period, and represents nine per cent of the number of districts form ed or proposed. A total of AIS dis tricts were proposed or formed under the Alexander act and special acts, and of this number 43 have been con- pleted and construction is pending in 160. It is estimated that an aver age of 40 per cent of the work has been done on the roads now under con- struction. The remaining districts are classed as follows: Abandoned or re- pealed 164 with 2,49S miles, organiz- ed but not surveyed 45 with S29 miles and surveyed but no contracts let, 126 with 2,211 miles.
 Jefferson county leads in accom- plished work in comparison to the number of districts formed. There were 15 districts organized and work has been completed in six, represent ing mileage of 79.77. However, Crittenden county is well ahead in mileage under construction with 283.- IS. In Pulaski county nine districts were formed with a total mileage of 25O.09; one IA mile project was aban- doned, three roads completed with an aggregate of Is miles, and four are under construction with an aggregate of 95.80 miles. AS a mater of fact the completed mileage in Pulaski county is considerably in excess of 95.80 miles, but completed mileage is dhown only where the project has been finished and accepted by the commissioners. Also. the tables show only the state and federally aided projects and do not include roads built with county funds. Embraced in the mileage planned in the six year program is 220 miles called for by districts formed by special acts of the, last legislature, which brings the total contemplated during the period to 10,141,
