MUCH ROAD WORK
BEING DONE N STATE
Roads in 22 Districts Approved
And Constructive Work is
Now >n Progress
Twenty-two improved road
construction projects in Ark
ansas with a toal length of 328
miles which have been approv
ed by the IState Highway De
partment and by the Federal
government are now in course
of construction in various parts
of the state, William B. Owen,
state highway commissioner,
said in a statement given out
at Little Rock last Monday.
All will receive both state
and federal aid. Only one
road in the state—the Little
Rock and Camp Pike road—
which is five and one-half
miles long, that is to receive,
state and federal government
aid, has been completed, Mr.
Owen said.
Of the roads now under con
struction, the federal govern
ment has approved of an ap
propriation to pay for 123
miles, which represents the
portion of the highways over
which mail is carried. Feder
al aid is secured only for that
portion of the road which fol
lows the mail routes.
The Arkansas legislature of
1917 appropriated $496,000
to be expended upon the state
highways for the biennial per
iod. The present legislature
has been asked to appropriate
$950,000, which is more than
enough to meet the Federal aid
plan, according to Mr. Owen.
A bill is pending in (Congress,
which Mr. Owens says he has
assurances will meet with ap
proval, appropriating $209,
000,000 to aid the various stat
es in the construction of high
ways. Arkansas’ portion
would be $4,615,000. All of
this money is to be expended
upon reads under the direction
of the State Highway Depart
ment, an will be available dur
ing the next three years.

■JAS. F. MORGAN
NEWARK MAN PLEASED
WITH BUSINESS POLICY
OF PROGRESSIVE CO.
We are glad to announce,
and his many friends will be
glad to Know that W. L. Hall
has accepted a contract to
write life insurance for that
good and progressive company,
the Jefferson Standard Life In
surance Co.
Mr. Hall says that before
accepting this contract he went
to Memphis where he met all
the principal officers of this
company, and then made a
careful investigation of the
Jefferson Standard Life Insur
ance Company and its method
of doing business, and that he
was more than satisfied as to
the methods of the company.
He found that their policies
are most liberal, giving more
to the policy holder than any
other Life Insurance Company,
and that the Jefferson Stand
ard Life Insurance Company
is Couthern born, Southern
raised and is of the South, by
the South and for the South at
all times.
He found that the Jefferson
Standard Life Insurance Com
pany believes in helping in the
progress and upbuilding of the
South, and to that end, has put
into Arkansas alone over three i
million dolllars in farm loans,1
thereby helping to develop our
lands.
The Jefferson Standard
Life Insurance Company right
ly believes that every dollar
kept in the South helps every
man, woman and child in the
South, whereas every dollar
that is sent to the North, East
or West for life insurance, or
anything else, never comes
back to us, but is used in the
upbuilding of those communi
ties, to our detriment.
W. L. says the very best
New Year’s resolution we can
make and keep, is to keep
Arkansas money in Arkansas
by buying life insurance from
the Jefferson Standard.
—A dvertisement.
GERMAN’S PROTEST
Press dispatches say that tel
egrams of protest against sign
ing the new armistice are pour
ing into the German National
Assembly, and the telegrams
from Berlin demand that a
period of national mourning be
observed.
A period of mourning in
sackcloth and ashes is just
what they need in Berlin, and
if they keep on fooling with
Foch they may get all the
mourning that’s coming to ’em.
