** THE MEASURE OF $|
O GREATNESS &
t*0$**?S*0*?**tf****
It always has been true; it
is true today; it always will be
true that he is greatest who
does the most of good. Read
the inscriptions upon the monu
ments reared by grateful hands
to those whom the wrorld calls
great; they record not whatthe
dead have received, but what
they have given to the world,
and prove that it is, in truth,
“more blessed to give than to
receive.”
And how this old earth will
be transformed wnen his meas
ure of greatness is the measure
of every life. We have had our
conflicts, because we have been
trying to see how much we
could get from each other;
there will be peace when we
are trying to see how much we
can do for each other. We have
had our combats because we
have/ been trying to see how
much we could get of the
world; there will be peace when
we are trying to see howr much
we can put into the world. The
human measure of a human
life is its income; the divine
measure of a human life is its
outgo—its overflow—its con
tribution to the welfare of the
world.
Christ’s conception of life is
a revolutionary one; it will re
volutionize an individual,it will
revolutionize a community, a
nation, or a world. Let one un
derstand that his success is to
be measured (and is not his
happiness also?) by his service
to society, and life takes on a
new meaning.—Bryan’s Com
moner.

$492,000 NEEDED TO
GET FEDERAL FUNDS
Legislature Will be Asked to
Make Appropriation So State
May Get Road Funds
Little Rock, Dec. 11.—The
coming session of the Arkansas
legislature, will have to ap
propriate $492,000 to partici
pate during 1917 and 1918 in
distribution of the $85,000,000
federal appropriation for good
roads, according to W. B. Ow
en, State Highway Commission
er, who, with Hugh R. Carter,
State highway engineer return
ed yesterday from St. Louis,
where they participated in a
conference between State high
way officials and representa
tives of the United States de
partment of agriculture, under
whose jurisdiction the federal
fund can be handled.
Mr. Owens said that by us
ing the present revenue derived
from automobile taxes, the ap
propriation could be made by
the legislature without increas
ing taxation and without mak
ing a new tax levy.
The federal government, Mr.
Owen said, would give Arkan
sas $82,000 for 191G, which al
lotment already is available;
$164,000 for 1917, and $246,
000 for 1918, providing ap
propriations for like amounts
were made by the State and
providing the State guaranteed
maintenance of roads con
structed through joint expen
diture of the two funds.
“Officials of the government
insisted that no state would re
ceive any of the general ap
propriation unless the respec
tive State showed its good faith
by meeting requirements of the
law and making appropriations
for amounts equaling the fed
eral allotment,” said Mr. Ow
en. “Any state not taking ad
vantage of the federal appro
priation will lose that amount,
as their share will revert to the
fund and be available for dis
tribution among the other
states.
“The legislature also will be
required to designate a road
system for the work. The fed
eral government will not tol
erate ‘piece-meal’ work, but
will make it mandatory that
the roads constructed be
through roads or parts of a
system.”
i ne iecierai government win
allow the States to use convict
labor in constructing the roads,
Mr. Owen said, and will allow
convict labor to be used in
stead of part of the State ap
propriation. The State will be
allowed only the exact cost of
maintenance of the convicts,
and none for their work.
The automobile tax this year
produced approximately $160.
000, and has shown a steady
increase during the last three
years, One half of the tax now
goes to the respective counties,
but does no'c go into good road
funds. Under a ruling of Wal
lace Davis, attorney general,
money retained by the coun
ties as their share of their au
tomobile taxes goes into the
•ounty general fund.
“By amendment of automo
bile tax law, diverting the en
tire tax into a State fund, the
legislature could have avail
able a fund from which the
necessary appropriations could
be made. A new tax levy would
be of no benefit until 1018,
when its first revenues would
be obtained.”
Arkansas’ total share of the
federal fund, if the State meets
requirements of the law, will
be $1.500,000.A similaramount
making a total of $8,000,000.
would have to be appropriated
by the State.

A PART IN PRO- U
|* GRE5S ||
y»**ss$*ys*sM***e
Every citizen of the rural
community should feel that it
is a privilege for him to have
a part in every good move for
education and general progress.
Each should be anxious to do
what he can to help advance
the community.
The comrqunity is entitled to
some time and money. No one
has a right to get the protec
tion of organized society with
out contributing in turn to the
people who make this protec
tion possible.
In addition to the laws of the
land and the duties of state and
national government, each citi
zen owes something to the
neighborhood in which he lives,
'there are social requirements
that should not be overlooked.
There are enterprises for the
benefit of the neighborhood
that will require contributions
in labor or money.Usually when
all do their part these enter
prises have a tendency to build
up the neighborhood in socia
bility and neighborly kindness.
Only those who refuse to do
their part lose. Willingness to
do. and interest in the work,
and not the size of the contri
bution, will be the estimate..
The satisfaction one has in
contributing his time and means
to help others is indeed a great
reward. And we cannot afford
to deprive ourselves of this
reward because our income is
not great or our contribution
small.—Farm and Ranch
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot read
the* diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure de*afncss, and that jk
'■y constitutional remedies Deaf mss is
caused by an inflame d condition of tin mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflam* 1 you have a rumbling
Sound or imperfect hearing, and warn it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be' taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion. hearing will be* destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are- caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundreel Dedlars for any

THIS HAPPENED ON
FRIDAY THE 13th
Henry Weaver, a farmer re
siding near Hammond, Indian
na, fell from a tree he was
trimming and landed on a pig,
breaking its back. Weaver sus
tained two broken legs. The
commotion startled his horse
which in turn frightened a colt.
This colt jumped a fence and
ran into a fence with a clothes
line fastened to a post.The post
was hurled through the air
with such force that it killed a
cow. The celt ran on and sus
tained fatal injuries on a barb
ed wire fence. When a veter
inarian arrived to attend the
colt, he ran over and killed
Weaver’s dog.
