 ROAD DISTRICT
Largest in State--Por orsions of Road Now Under Con strucGioa,--Gelting Gov ernnent Aid.

Mississippi county is alert to the importance of taking advantage of federal aid in providing that com munity with hard-surfaced roads, the largest district yet coming be- fore the State Highway Commits sion having been formulated. Mis- sissippi county property owners are not in favor of allowing all other communities to use up the federal aid in providing good roads without getting some of the improvements for themselves. They are not want ing to pay their good money in government taxes and not share in any of the benefits. They have long since realized that unless they make provisions for hard roads they will continue to pay for building high ways for other communities and remain in the mud puddle" of non progress.
 Many counties in the state, par ticularly in the northeastern and to the end of building highways with the liberal assistance of the government, going ahead with rapid strides while on-road-building com munities are inclined to fight and oppose the improvement. willing to foot the bills and trudge along without the roads. The counties with good roads are paying no more of the federal taxes than the com munities that are fighting them and refusing to accept the money back in the way of road improvements.

Ii is very gratifying to note that

Ii, is very gratifying to note that some of the citizens of the county after familiarizing themselves with facts in relation to the building oi the Lone Star Highway, are lndlcat- ing a more favorable attitude to- ward the needed project. While there doubtless are some persons who would oppose good roads, re- gardless of how valuable they might be to a community or how cileapfy they Tristy isseta ees through aid of the federal govern ment combined with spirit of economy dominating those promot- ing the enterprise, we believe a large majority of the people are going to be favorable to tie Lone Star. Everyone knows Greene coun- ty must enter the good roads move ment or it is going to lag so far behind in progress it will never catch up. Every reasonable think ing property owner should know that We can never again hope to get roads upon more reasonable basis of cost than now, with liberal access to federal funds. We are paying our pro rata of the taxes that are going toward building roads in other counties, paying for those roads out of our own pockets, and unless we share in those funds by building roads of our own we are contributing to total loss. The Lone Star movement affords the citizens of this county an un- usually attractive opportunity to construct a model road through Greene and the people should sup port it; but it is their right to de- mand that it's construction be made model of economy and a model of square dealing in every respect. This newspaper would not support the movement unless we felt certain it would be carried through upon a four-square basis and we confident iy believe the promoters of the highway have no other intentions. Let everyone familiariZe himself with all facts, relating to actual cost of construction and direction of the enterprise before opposing the movement.

MISSOURI MAN
 SUSPECTED OF
 FOUR MURDERS
Officers Believe Prisoner Is Possessed of HoEaicidal Mania; Is En Jail at Enai- nence, Mo.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Feb 17.-Sher- if Oliver of Carter county yesterday announced his belief in the startling theory that Nick Campbell aged 42, a prisoner in the county jail at Eminence, has been specializing in the murders of rcoluae farmers.
 Campbell already is charged with the murder of one of these lonely hermits and today the sheriff will start an investigation that he be heves may solve the mysterious dis appearances of three others.
 Officers believe that the prisoner is possessed of homicidal mania coupled with desire to acquire the property of his victims.
 Campbell, a World war veteran, who says he is a federal prohibition officer, has admitted that on Feb ruary 1 he killed Curt Herman, an unmarried farmer who lived alone on his farm near Hunter about 90 miles from here.
 Sheriff Plans Investigation.
 Today, Sheriff Oliver will lead a searching party to the farm of a hermit farmer named Schroeder who lived near Cane Creek and who strangely vanished about a year ago. The sheriff is confident that he will find Schroedler's skeleton buried somewhere on his farm and he pro- fesses to be equally confident that the man was murdered by the strange, mysterious man in jail at Eminence
 It is said that Campbell has been living at Schrocdler's farm home since the former owner disappeared and that Campbell recently sold the farm. Campbell insists that he bought the farm from Schroeder and that after the sale the man

packed up his possessions and left without revealing his destination.
 It is reported that there have been two other recent instances of disappearances of farmers who lived by themselves and who strangely vanished never to be heard from again One was a man named La core who lived near Elsinore. It is charged that Campbell also had terrorized two other hermit farmers who lived near Hunter
 Chased Over Wild Region.
 The capture of Campbell followed chase that was reminiscent of the old Wild West days and which ex- tended over a wild region that was la favorite refuge of the James boys at the height of their careers of outlawry. The man was found at his camp near Eleven Point in the Wilds of Oregon county. He carried 6 veritable arsenal He had six shotguns, two automatic rifles and a large quantity of ammunition, He also had provisions sufficient to last him for three or four months, and the officers believe that he had intended 10 camp out in the wilder ness until the hunt for him should have died down. However, the off cers discovered his camp, lay in wait until the man was away from his guns and then got the drop on him while he was unarmed.
 Confesses to One Killing.
 The killing of Herman was typi- cal of Campbell's bloody methods, the officers say. Herman lived alone on his farm near Hunter. Re gently Campbell had been boarding With him. Suddenly Herman dis appeared, and to inquiring neighbors Campbell said that the man had de- eiGed to locate in the West, and had gone away, leaving him to take care of the farm. A few days later, Campbell announced that he had re- ceived a letter from Herman in structing Campbell to meet him in Kansas. Campbell loaded all Her mans possessions on a wagon and drove away with them. However, the neighbors were suspicious. They notified Sheriff Oliver who promptly organized a posse and started the pursuit that ended in the capture of Campbell.
 After his return to Eminence, Campbell confessed, according to the officers. He said that Herman, who was of German descent, continually

WARNS AGAINST PLANTING BIG
 COTTON CROP
Dr. Knapp Says Farmers Must Not Be Deceived by Recent Advances; Speaks at Pine Bluff.

Pine Bluff, Feb. 17.-Dr. Brad ford Knapp, dean of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkansas, and J. A. Evans of the United States Department of Agriculture, in ad- dresses yesterday afternoon to a representative gathering of planters and business men of Jefferson coun- ty, stressed the necessity of reduc- ing cotton acreage and diversifyfng crops during the present year. Dr. Knapp said.
 '"The farmer must not be deceived by the recent advances in the price of cotton or the statistics circulated recently purporting to show that there will be a shortage of cotton next year If he does he will meet the same fate as last year and be unable to realize from his crop what it cost him.
 Tt is true that we had a short crop last year due more to the boil V tTF il than tiitas fa ,as and it is just as true that the world market for cotton has shrunken. The world needs cotton, but unless it is able te pay for it, the farmer cannot profit by growing it.
 Exports Of cotton to Europe are dropping steadily, and there is no assurance when Europe will be able financially to buy normal supply of the staple. Until she is, the farmer had better curtail produc- tion of it.'
 Urges Business Basis
 The present financial plight of the farmer, when he is forced to pay 1916-17 prices for what he buys while receiving half or less for what he sells, the speaker said, makes it imperative that the farmer con duct his farm on a strictly business basis.
 Dr. Knapp especially warned the farmers not to stop raising corn and grain because corn is prac- tically worthless this year and ali grains are low in price,.
 Last year Arkansas raised co.,, bushels of corn, the largest yield in it's history" he said. But during the same year we consumed 75,O00,000 bushels. The difference was bought from Northern producers and high freight rates were paid to bring it to Arkansas. That is not businesslike."
 Above all Dean Knapp urged farmers to raise poultry and pro duce and dairy products, to make them more self-supporting
 There are too many farms in this section without milch COW and too many without chickens" he said. eff every farmer had one or two good cows, some pigs and poul- try, he would not feel the hard times so much.
 "I have in my pocket letter from a woman operating a little farm up in the hills of north Arkan- sas, farm that you here would call postage stamp farm, in which she gives an itemized statement of her income during last month, show ing that she sold $179 worth of butter, eggs, milk and other produce How many farmers of this sectior
