ROAD COMMISSIONER
SAYS USE THE DRAG
Cheapest and Most Effective Way
of Improving Roads, Says
Mr. Dye
Reuben G. Dye, Commissioner of
State Lands, Highways and Im
provements, furnishes The Jour
nal the following on the improve
ment of roads
“Summer has gone and with the
Autumn season comes the fall rain
followed by those of winter. At
this season of the year, the dirt
roads are given their hardest
usage. Summer crops are being
gathered and must be gotten to
market. Cotton must be picked
and gotten to the gin and to the
railroad track.
It has been hot and dry during
the latter part of the summer.The
weather man at Little Rock says
that August this year has been
one of the driest Augusts in many
many years. The roads, in conse
quence, have become dusty and
full of chuck holes. With the soak
ing rains prevalent over the entire
State during the past few days
and the traffic required to be car
ried by these wet roads, the farm
ers are going to lose thousands of
dollars within the next few months,
unless immediate action is taken
by all road overseers.
“Right now is the time to begin
dragging your roads. Follow every
good rain with your drag until
you have your road in condition
to shed water and keep its sur
face intact. Do not wait until to
morrow or next week. Commence
your dragging right now and con
tinue it after each rain until you
accomplish what you want.
Your people desire it. Every
farmer needs it. It means thou
sands of dollars saved to your com
munity what will otherwise go for
repairs to broken wagons, crippled
horses, double teams where one
should suffice, and produce is
wasted because of inability to get
to market.”

' ENFORCE SANITARY LAWS
New Officer Begins Campaign For
Better Health Regulations
City Health Officer Dr. S. A.
Drennen is planning a vigorous
campaign for better sanitary reg
ulations in Newark, under provi
sions of the new health law which
recently went into effect. The new
law is pretty strict and if properly
enforced will make a big improve
ment in sanitary conditions and re
sult in a marked improvement in
the general health of the people.
Large placards containing a
warning against spitting on the
sidewalks and floors in public
places have been printed this week
and posted in all public places
Spitting on the walks and floors
is a very vulgar and filthy habit,as
well as a dangerous one, from a
sanitary view, and the penalty for
violating this law is a $10 fine.
YOUR SEWING nACHINE
When the sewing machine works
hard and heavily, take the needle
and shuttle out and give every
joint and bearing a generous bath
of gasoline. Do this in the daytime
in order not to have a lamp or fire
anywhere near where you are
working. Turn the wheels briskly
to enable the gasoline to penetrate
every part and to loosen the old
oil and grime. Then wipe it per
fectly clean and use a proper lub
ricating oil, running the machine
for several minutes before insert
ing the needle. Now run for a
minute, wipe away all superfluous
oil and you will find your machine
in good temper and it will be a
pleasure to work upon it.—Ex.

PREMIUM LIST OF
THE STATE FAIR
Second Edition is Now Ready and
Every Arkansan Should
Have One
Hot Springs, Sept. 22.—With the
announcement from the manage
ment of the Arkansas State Fair
that the recent fire in Hot Springs
will have no effect upon the 1913
fair, except to redouble the efforts
of the officials to make it bigger
and better than ever, the associa
tion has issued a second edition of
the premium list, which contains
the grandest list of association and
special premiums ever offered by
a state fair.
There is something in this prem
ium list to interest every resident
of the state. It is simply a catalog
of the state fair and the big things
the visitor and exhibitor may ex
pect. This second edition is made
for the sole purpose of placing in
to the hands of the people of the
state a correct idea of the grandeur
of the Arkansas State Fair, of its
magnificent scope, and to convince
every farmer, stock raiser and
business man that it is their right
and their duty to contribute both
in exhibition and attendance.

Editor Journal. — If we plant
shade trees along the sidewalks
and streets, won’t the cows cat
them down, like they do the shrub
bery and vines in the yards? If by
chance some one leaves a yaid
gate open, in walks the cows and
eat up everything. What is there
in town anyway for cows to eat
except bitter weed, dog fennel and
thistle? Then why not pen them,
and have shade trees growing
along the streets that will add to
the beauty and comfort of the
town? Cows have to be fed, so
why not pen them? Subscriber.
