the Governor. but in view of the fact
he was chief executive, the point was
conceded"
Governor McCray based his belief
that the affair was to be a prize fight
On the high prices demanded for seats,
on the purport Of the advance pub
Iicity and advertising and on the at
titude Of sports writers as to Brennan
being considered a contender for
Dempsey's title.

Washington, March 28.-So splen-

cational education under the Smith
Hughes act, that T.. T. Franks,
member of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education, is using the
state as an example in speeches he
Is making throughout the country,
according to a letter received yes
terday by Representative Jacoway
from Mr.. Franks.
Il think it is a very fine show

the possibilities of vocational edu-
cation in the various states and
especially what it has accomplished
in Arkansas"
The data mentioned by Mr.
Franks and which he enclosed, reads
as follows:
Last year in the state of Arkan-
sas the vocational students kept
books on five projects, corn, cotton,
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes and
dairy products. If all the farmers
in that state had produced the same
yield in these projects as the voca-
tional students produced it would
have added to the wealth OF the
state over and above what these
five articles did produce, $155,OO0,-
900.
do you realize what that would
have meant to the state OF Arkan-
saa in these five projects? It would
have paid the entire cost Of -cduca@-
ion in the state for 19 years. 1t
would have rebuilt every schod
building in the state eight times
1t would have built 13 hard surface
highways clear across the state, east
and west, and 13 highways across
the state, north and south. In
other words, it would have built
5000 miles of hard surfaced roads.
at the cost of $4,000 per mile. 1t
would have equipped 1890 homes
with electric lights, running water
and artificial heat. 1t would have
bought 10000 touring cars for the
farmers of that state.
Now, remember that this only
applied to five projects, when there
were really 80 projects produced
by the farmers of that state. What
vocational education did in agri-
culture it can and will do. in manu-

(By The United Press)

Washington, March 2S.-Aboll

the restoration of the old plan OF
appointments on political recon-

General Daugherty. This was re-

he was not speaking for the admin

considered the civil service to be
inefficient, saying that he was thor
oughly convinced that it had been a
source of much worry and trouble
for the government and that it was
too expensive.

Trouble Encountered by
Officers In Roundup.
(From Tuesdays Daily

Short indeed was the time en-
joyed by three of the four prisoners
who escaped from the Green county
Jail last Friday night. AS soon as
the delivery was discovered by Off
GERS a search was instituted and
results we're forthwith apparent.
Within the space of one day three
of the four were landed and re-
turned to the county bastile.
Sheriff Charlie Stepp and l.. B..
Waldron, county jailer, journeyed to
Bethel soon after the flight of the
prisoners was discovered and there
located Henry Jackson. who is
charged With transporting liquor
and awaiting the action of the
grand jury on that charge, and
John Miller city prisoner on a
similar charge who was laying
out" his sentence in the county
Jail. The two were brought to the
city and are again spending their
days behind the bars which they so
rudely severed in their endeavor to
make a clean getaway.
Proceeding to Craighead county,
Mr., Waldron, with the assistance Of
Sheriff Johnson of that county,
made a trip just a short distance
out of the county seat of Craighead
in the direction of Wineburg and
found c. r. Hines. Hines is also
again incarcerated in the hoose-
gov awaiting the say-so of the
grand jury ON charge of forging
4 check on the Clyde Mack Mercan-
tile Co, for the amount of twelve
dollars.
Only George Grimes, who was
caught in wholesale robbery on
the East Side a few weeks ago, is
out of the fold and officers believe
they are on his trail and will have
him enjoying the comradeship Of his
fellow prisoners within the next

PROMOTING

Delegations From Lafe,
Hooker's and Knobel
Confer With Local Or
ganization of Highway.
(From Tuesdays Daily Press9


A delegation of citizens from Lafe,
Hooker's and Knobel came to Para
gould this morning to advise with
the Lone Star club regarding steps
to be taken to the end of getting
under way the construction of the
highway from Paragould north to
the Clay county line Several from
each of those communities consti-
tuted the delegation and each of
them expressed himself as being en-
thusiastic and confident that no
trouble would be encountered in
building the highway north from
Paragould.
The representatives were received
by the local organization in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms and
the general plans of the project
were discussed. J. II. Mcpherson,
president of the local Lone Star
organization presided. In response
to the general sense of the session
Frank Lane introduced a resolution
for the appointment of committee
of three men to look to the estab-
lishment of the route through Lafe,
Hookers and Knobel and to enter
into the completion of petition to
be presented to the county court,
the said petition to be in conformity
with the requirement in completing
an Improvement district.
r. H. Robinson, Chas. Hooker and
Peyton Robb were chosen to serve
as the three committeeman to carry
out the details of the work in hand.
The members will enter actively
upon the undertaking and push mat
ters to an early completion, it was
predicted
There seems to be a very strong
sentiment in favor of the highway
through the sections north of Para
gould to the Clay county line and
it is anticipated that the citizens
along that part of the great route
will take to the proposition very
readily, and enthusiastically.

under sitting hens. After locating
a complete distillery the officers
began searching for the contraband
product. They looked in every nook
and corner of the barn, outhouses,
etc, and finally came upon the hen
house. Reaching, under the straw
where sitting hens were preparing
a future generation of the feathered

CITIZENS ARE
MAKING STREET
IMPROVEMENTS
Project on Foot to Gravel
East Lake Street. and
Other Thoroughfares in
That Section.
lrrom Tuesoay.s pany)

A very valuable improvement
zens of the East side to gravel some
of the principal thoroughfares. The
work has already begun on Lake
street and it is suggested now that
the work be continued, beginning
at the Cotton Belt Railroad crossing
on East Main street and run East
to South Second avenue thence
south to Junction street, thence
east to where the hard road will in
tersect. Several have already express
ed themselves as being willing to con-
ment to assist the property owners
along the proposed route in order
to reduce the cost.
1t is thought that by placing 2S
loads of gravel to every fifty feet
Of the street, it will make a surface
that will stand the traffic for years
to come. This amount will cover
a space of "a feet wide and fifty
feet long, and it is said, will not
cost over $4,000 per fifty feet, or
S21.00 for the property owner on
each side of the street. 1t is
thought that, perhaps, the cost can
be reduced to such an extent that
$35 will cover the cost of gravel
and spreading on the surface. Any
one who is interested in this move
ment and wants to contribute to the
fund is invited to see c. b. Burns,
either at his home, 420 East juno
tion street, or at the Baggage room
of the Union station.

best results with this set it would
be advisable, where it is possible,
to have an aerial from 100 to $50
feet , in length and thirty or forty
feet high at both ends.
The necessary materials are:
One hundred and fifty feet, or
more, OF No. II of IA b. and S.
gauge bare copper wire.
Two to four insulators, depending
upon the conditions that must be
met.
One porcelain tube.
How to Make Aerial.
The drawings are self-explanatory
and with little advice you will be
able OF construct your aerial SO as
to obtain successful results.
First Always bear in mind that
the effectiveness of your aerial and
the success that you will derive
from your set depend mostly upon
how effectively you have insulated
your aerial Spare no pains to do
this job right.
Second Avoid kinks, turns,
twists in your aerial and lead-in
wire
Third. The aerial or antenna
wire can be put through the hole
at one end of the insulator and
the staywire through the other
"a lead-in wire can be fastened to
any part of the aerial or antenna,
or simply brought off as an extern
sion of the main wire. Where the
wire runs around a corner of the
building, or under similar circum-
stances, an insulator can be fasten-
ed by means of large screw to a
wooden supporting stick. Then the
lead can be put through or fasten
ed to the hole at the extended end
of the insulator.
