GROWTH OF GOOD
ROADS MOVEMENT
Two Hundred and Fifty Mil
lion Dollars Spent on State
Highways Last Year.
The great interest that is
now manifest throughout the
country in the good-roads
movement is clearly shown in
the increasing activity of the
various State governments in
the work. At the present time
all of the states with the ex
ceptin of Indiana, Mississippi,
Suuth Carolina, and Texas
have enacted laws providing
for State Aid in road work.
Government reports show that
from the year 1895, when Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut en
acted the first laws' passed by
any of the states for aiding in
the building of good roads up
to the present year, 39 of the
States expended a total of
$211,859,163 in road work. As
showing the growing interest
in road building it may be not
ed that 38 of the States have
made available $54,884,007
for use in 1915, or more than
25 per cent of * lie total ap
propriations for the past 20
years, also the total expendi
tures in 1914 from State funds
joint funds and local funds
amounted to $250,779,911.
There were on January 1,
1915, 2,273,131 miles of pub
lic roads iri all states of which
247,490 miles, or 10.9 per cent
were surfaced. The total mile
age of all State-aid roads built
to January 1. 1915, was 35,
177, of which 6, 805 miles, or
nearly 20 per cent were bulit
in 1914.
Two states, New York and
California exceeded Indiana in
the amount of money expended
in road work last year, yet In
diana, because of the wide dis
tribution of exeellenlt gravel,
is second in the mileage of sur
faced roads, with 26,831 miles,
being exceeded only by Ohio,
with 28,312 miles, while New
York is third with 22,398
miles. These three states con
tain nearly one third of all the
surfaced roads in the United
States.
Only 9 states have 20 per
cent of their roads surfaced,
and of these, Rhode Island
leads, with 58.8 per cent; Mas
sachusetts is second, with 51.7
per cent; and Indiana third,
with 42.3 per cent.

DO TRIFLES ANNOY?
What a blessed thingitisthat
Kve can forget! Today’s trou
bles look large, but a week
hence they will be frgotten and
buried out of sight. Says one
'writer: “If you would keep a
book and daily put down the
things that worry you, and see
what becomes of them.it would
benefit you. You allow a thing
to annoy you, just as you allow
a fly to settle on you and plague
you; and you lose your temper
and you justify yourself by be
ing thrown off your balance by
causes which you do not trace
out. But if you could see what
it was that threw' you off your
balance before breakfast, and
put it down in a little book,and
follow it up and follow it out.
and ascertain what becomes of
it. you would see what a fool
you were in tne matter.” The
ait of forgetting is a blessedart
but the art of overlooking is
is quite as important. And if we
should take time to write down
the origin, progress and out
come of a few' of our troubles.it
would make us so ashamed of
the fuss we make over them,
that we should be glad to drop
such things and bury them at
once in eternal forgetfulness.
Life is too short to be worn out
in petty worries, frettings, ha
treds and vexations.

FIND THE GOOD
If there isn’t some good in
every one, what are thev here
for?
Anybody can point out any
body else’s bad qualities. If you
iwant to distinguish yourself, go
around pointing out good quali
ties.
Pick out the men whom ev
ery one dislikes. Select the one
you feel could best be spared
your office, from your circle of
acquaintances, fromthecommu
nity in which you live. Ask
yourself if there isn'tsomething
i good about him.
j Put him on a mental dissect
ing table. Cut him to piecesand
see what's in him.Remember—
you are looking for the good.
Throw away the bad in him and
forget it.Make a list of his good
qualities. It will surprise you
how many you can find.
The next time you hear him
criticised, tell the people the
good things you know about
him—the good things. You’ll
| at least be different, and you’ll
j find it does you more good than
, it does him.
( How would you feel if you
knew that people whenever
they talked of you.talked about
what was bad in you.You know
it’s there, plenty of it.but you’d
rather not have it talked about.
It’s much nicer to have only
your good points discussed.
Give the other fellow the
j kind of deal you like yourself.
If you can say nothing good
about him say nothing. There
are mighty few people in the
world we can’t say something
good about if we try. The trou
j ble is, we don’t try.
And yet, the more good you
find in other people, the more
good other people will find in
you. Women, too,can make this
j e x periment.—A merica n M a ga

MORE TROUBLE OVER
OLD SHIREY MURDER
Alleged Remark of Mintum
Physician Leads to Fight and
Two are Badly Hurt.
IToxie, Oct. 11.—-As the re
sult of alleged remarks said to
have been made by Pr.Barnett,
ill feeling broke out anew at
Minturn yesterday, inwhichthe
physician and Jesse Hill, prin
cipals in a three-cornered fight,
were rather badly used. Hill re
ceived knife wounds in his ab
domen. from which attending
physicians fear he will not re
cover.
Jesse Hill and his three
brothers live at Minturn. It was
also the home of A. W. Shirey,
recently murdered. Jesse Hill
resented a remark said to have
been made by Dr. Barnett that
the Hill brothers knew some
thing of the killing of Shirey.In
the difficulty Hill was badly
cut and taken to a sanitarium
at Walnut Ridge. . Dr. C. P
Meriwether of Little Rock pro
nounces the wounds dangerous.
To avenge their brother’s in
juries, it is said that the other
Hill boys attacked Dr. Barnett,
using him rather roughly.
Dr. Barnett was arrested and
released on bond. The Grand
Jury in session here will inves- j
tigate.
BIG MANGANESE SHIPMENT

three miles north of Batesville,
are very active, and a force of
men numbering about twenty
have been kept busy there dur
ing the past several weeks get
ting out the ore. The work has
taken on large proportions,and
bids fair to be a leading indus

to come.
The mines are owned by H.
M. Hodge and N. A. Adler of

conducted under the personal
supervision of the former. It is
understood that the operators
are busy now getting out
enough ore for filling an order
which calls for 500 tons,which
order was received recently.—
