There are two subjects of paramount
interest before the people of Arkansas
today-their schools and their roads.
The recent session Of the General As

solution of the road problem. The
school situation still remains critical.
1t is expected that the committee re-
Gently appointed will meet at an early
date to formulate PROPOSED legislation
that will meet the emergency. The
action of the legislature, representing
the people, is expected to he an answer

A great deal of caustic comment is
printed regarding the proposed re-

true that In thousands of localities
throughout this enlightened land of
ours, children are prevented from tax
ing advantage of what educational
facilities the state or county affords,
because Of the poor roads, which mud,
water, snow, ice and bad weather make
impossible.
Whether it is the little red school
house" a half mile or II couple Of miles
from the farm, or the consolidated
school, to which children from radius
of ten miles may come, the worth of
the school to the child depends in n
large measure upon the amount of
time he or she may spend there. The
best school is of no value if student
can not attend.

considering the question of abolishing
the manufacture of herOin, or of limit

worth about G6 1-2 cents, compared with
1914. according to the National In

This depreciation of the dollar is re-

Wholesale prices of agricultural pro-
