How Newark Makes Money for Other People

Newark gravel has been T large factor in contributing to a phenomenal increase in the value of farm lands of Critten- den county.
 That may sound a little strange at first thought, but 1t is true, nevertheless.
 During the past few years, thousands of carloads of gravel have been shipped from New ark to counties in Eastern Ark ansas to be used in building roads.
 We don't need any roads in Independence County, of course, so We sell our road building material to other more progressive counties, and we plug along through the mud, kick, cuss and grumble, while the people of other counties who appreciate the value of good roads, buy our road ma terial and not only enjoy the benefits of good roads but see their land values double as a result of having good roads.
 A report from Earle says that as a result of road im- provements in Crittenden coun- ty in the last two years, land values have increased 100 toI 300 per cent.
 One example is mentioned of a forty acre tract of cut over land sold recently for $200 per acre and which was priced at $40 per acre before the good roads were built. From $1, ,600 to $500 is quite a jump in value for 40 acre tract of cut-over land, which is yet to be cleared before it can be made to produce anything and yet only the building of a good road made the difference Ill value.
 We do not know whether the particular piece of road that made this remarkable increase in the value of 40 acre tract of land, was built of Newark gravel or not, but we do know that Newark gravel has contrib uted in no small degree to an increase in land values in a number of counties in Eastern A I k ms IS.
 Craighead, Crittenden, Jack son, Lawrence, St.Francis and White counties have built miles and miles of good roads with gravel bought at Newark.
 But they need the roads of course-and We don't.
 Didn't our daddies, and our daddies' daddies live in this county during the past 50 or 75 years with the same roads that we have TOW?
 To be sure they did-and they even used tallow cand- les; and we have made some progress-we have discarded the tallow candles, even if we are still in the mud.
 But when t comes to roads. we are r;ght where our grand daddies left us 50 years ago

VALPARAISO BUILDS
DANCING PAVILION
Maple Dancing Floor, Good Ventilation
and Lighting Fixtures Are Fine Fea-
lures.

VALPARAISO. Fla, Aug. 2S.-Within
the next two weeks the dancing pavilion
being promoted by Mr.. G. H. Peters and
Mr.. r. A. Painter. will be ready for its
formal opening. The pavilion which con-
tains two thousand square feet of dane
ing floor is built out over the water on
Bay Shore Drive overlooking Valparaiso
Bay.
Added to the dancing floor. which
measures 40x5o feet, will be an 8-foot
promenade extending around the entire
building.
The roof is a hip roof and in the center
at the top a large opening has been
made for ventilation,
A maple dancing floor Is perhaps the
most important feature. 1t is said that
it will be the only one of its kind in
west Florida.
Aside from the regular electric display
which is planned to be most effective a
special lighting for moonlight dances will
be obtained from a crystal swung in the
center of the ceiling upon which, from
the four cornes of the building, search
light will play.
Eventually the sides of the building
will be glassed so that 1t may be used
in all sorts of inclement weather.
For the formal opening which will be
held on Saturday, September 2. elaborate
preparations are being made. Ben Clut-
ter's orchestra has been engaged.

Big Celebration
Be Staged Labor
Day In Valparaiso

VALPARAISO. Fla, Aug. 26.-Posters
are out announcing the fact that Valpa-
raise is to have a big celebration on
Labor Day.
The boat races which are planned to
come first on the program ought to be
even better than those on the Fourth of
July. The speed boats which Mr. Peters,
Mr.. Freiwald and Miss Carter could not
finish for the earlier date will make their
debut (if boats make debuts) on Labor
Day. These new ones added to the en-
tries which visitors to Valparaiso have
already promised to make, should show
us a good race.
Boats designed for recreation rather
than speed will have their own classes
and their own prizes.
The committee requests that all entries
be turned into the Valparaiso Star office
on or before August 30th, in order that
Mr.. Goss, who has charge of the handi-
Gaping can properly rate each entry.
Swimming races will follow next.
For the remainder of the afternoon
there will be dancing in the new pavil-
ion.

Our Health and Our Clothes.

Thomas Edison, the inventor says the
chief reason he can work IS hours day with
out getting run down is because he keeps his
body healthy by never wearing tight-1tting
clothes. Edison wears baggy suits add loose
collars. He never wears tight shoes, a belt or
anything that would interfere with the circu-
lation of blood through his arteries. In other
words he doesn't grain nature.
Maybe nature intended the human animal to
wear clothes, maybe not. Anyway, she Ger
tainly never intended us to wear garments
that fit like the casing of a sausage. In win
ter, on streets of cities that have snow and
zero weather, you f1appers wearing silk
stockings and shirt waists with necks cut so
low they expose the throat to the cold weather
and the icy wind.
man, with a high starched collar and
wooden muffler around his neck, marvels that
the fimsily dressed fiappers do not die of
pneumonia. The reason is simple: The fapper
dresses loosely allowing her blood to circulate
freely enough to keep her warm. Her grand
mother in girlhood, had TO bundle up like an
Arctic explorer to keep from catching cold,
largely because she cramped her blood circu-
lation and other bodily functions by lacing her
self in wasping corset. Men, too, are slowly
getting misunderstanding tight starched
choker, collars, painful shoes and plug hats
that fit the head like iron hoops. Hygienists
believe American women will be health wise
enough to keep their present comfortable way
of dressing. Also they are campaigning to
drive some of the same common sense into
men. Men, say the hyygienists, should copy
the women and adopt clothing that ventilates
the body. This is especially advisable in sum-
mer. The average person is haunted by fear
of taking cold. How about the dangers of TAX
ing heat? You have noticed, in the movies,
that the sayages dress loosely, so the air gets
easily to all parts of their skin. That probably
is the chief reason they are hard and healthy
as young wild cats.
