ROAD BOND BILL is
KILLED IN THE HOUSE

The Raney- Williamson measure, pro-
viding for issuing $I2,2OO,0OO worth of
securities by the state to pay of the
road Improvement district indebted
ness, met defeat in the House of Re
presentatives this week.
On motion of Representative Paul
McKennon Of johnson county, the bill
was laid on the table, thus making It
impossible for it to be called up for
further consideration. The vote was
50 to AZ.
When Speaker Hin announced the
result, one of the hardest fought par
liamentary battles in the Arkansas
legislature was ended. Every known
parliamentary point Of order was rails
ed. Until this time, supporters of the
measure were able to obtain favorable
rulings from the speaker.
Even after they had lost their fight
to prevent the bin from being called
up, Immediately after the noon recess,
supporters did not lose hope. They ex-
pected to talk the bill to DEATH" but
they were permitted to have only one
man do the talking. He spoke for two
hours. complained Of sore throat and
yielded to the floor, and the roll call
was demanded.

COUNCIL AGAIN TAKES
UP MATTER OF PAVING

The city council is again seriously
considering paving the court square
in Pocahontas. A report from Judge
Million that the county would bear
the expense Of paving the streets on
the square belonging to the county re-
opened the matter for discussion at
the weekly meeting of the council
About one third of the streets in
the improvement district are coun-
ty roads. The council proposes to pro-
cure the other two-4irds of the ex-
pense by an assessment on the town of
Hocah0ntas, the real property owners
in the proposed improvement district
and the personal property owners in
the district.
An estimate of the cost of the work,
made several months ago when the
proposition was being considered. was
$4,000. This included the street run
ming up from the Frisco depot. the en-
tire square and the street that circles
the block in front of the pOstolfice
Maynor Shannon reports that moth
ing definite has been decided as yet,
but that the proposition is being seri-
ously considered by the council.

One Correct Answer

Among the answers we received on
the mathematical problem presented
by Mr.. W. j. Schoonover last week.
only one was correct. That was sent
in by Mr.. n. J. Gates of Peach Or
chard. His answer showed that the
man purchased cats for SO, 10 dogs
for $50, and SS chickens for $44, max
ing a total of 100 animals for $10O
This brings to mind the old problem
which went the rounds some fifteen or
twenty years ago and which is being
revived, many finding it happy diver
sion from the crossword puzzle. Here
it is if you want to take a crack at it:
Mary is 2i years old. Mary is twice
as old as Ann was when Mary was as
old as Ann is now. How old is Ann"

Good Team AT Old Jackson

Old jackson, March 9-The Old
Jackson basket ball team has had a
very successful year. Out of five
games we have won four.
Post Oak was the best team we went
on the court again. We lost the first
game to them on their court and won
the last game on our court, making n
tie. Another game is expected.
The other games were played with
New Covenant. They were easy vic
tories.
Our basket ball team has not been
strictly a school team. Occasionally
we had to draw from the community
to get the necessary number of large
ones.

SPRINGLIKE WEATHER
is MAKING GARDENS

With the springlike weather the last
few days, gardening in and around
pOcahontas has begun in earnest This
means that before long we will be en-
ioying young onions, lettuce and green's
fresh from the garden instead of from
can. Later on there win be green
peas string beans, radishes, beets,
cucumbers and, of more interest to this
editor than any other thing, tomatoes.
We are planning Ito put in about a
fourth acre of tomatoes and they will
not be for the market either We eat
tomatoes three times n day in season
and canned tomatoes as often as we
can get them in winter.
Now. garden work in mapy cases is
looked on as womans work. Often
the lord of the household turns over
the ground and pulls it up for plant
ing and then leaves the rest to the
wife and children while he goes about
his real business, be it trading, farm
ing or what not. Happily, in most
cases, the work of gardening is mutual
labor where everyone in the household
takes an active interest,
In our garden the young onions are
already two inches high, the lettuce
leaves are as big as dimes, the cab
bage plants are nearly as high as the
onions and the mustard greens are be-
ginning to sprOut. We have peas,
beets and radishes in and also few
hills of cucumbers which we intend to
cover with fruit jars if cold spell
comes.
Now, there are several gardens in
Pocahontas and from our observation
they are progressing about as good, or
better than ours. SO, we believe we
are safe in saying that spring has ar
rived.

UNLIKELY FOR

Coolidge May Name Outsider
to Vacancy on Civil
Service Board

President Coolidge probably viii

Helen H. Gardener as member Of
the Civil Service Commission, but
she is not likely to be resident
of the District of Columbia.
This. at least, is the opinion Of
Republican politicians in Washing.
ton. While they know nothing Of
President Coolidge's plans they dc
not believe that he will recognize
Washington's right to be repre-
sented on the Civil Service Com
mission
Delay Is Expected
So far as can be ascertained
no names Of candidates have YET
been presented to the President
and in some circles is said that
no appointment will be made until
after Congress reconvenes.
There is no immediate necessity
of filling the post, and in view Of
the fact that there are a large
number OF women whose claim for
consideration probably will be filed
with the President, it is likely that
he will take his time before deter.
mining upon choice.
Most politicians here believe that
in view Of the large number of
women now employed in the Govern.
ment service it is advisable to have
a woman upon the Civil Service
Commission.
To Set Precedent
The appointment of Mrs. Car
dener as a member of the Com
mission probably viii be a prece-
dent for future appointments to the
board.
Whether the woman to be Sc
lected will be a Republican or a
Democrat is a matter which rests
entirely with the President.
So far no names have been sug-
there are scores of women promi-
nent in Republican activities in
the various States whose names
will be placed before him in due
time.
MISS ALICE EAuls lcdOGE OF the
National Woman's Party, already

termination to appoint woman
