PUTTING IK TOP I ON MENU STREET ■ -- - After Delays Lea* and Vexatious. Contractor Monroe Applying • j Asphalt—Prows Require# About 3 Days to Block. At last, after long and vexatious delays, Contractor G. W. Monroe be gan Saturday morning the application of asphalt to the layer of crushed rock on the block between Maple avenue ; and Port Arthur on Mena street. ; It is estimated it will require three ; days to finish each block, two of which have been ready for the treat ment for nearly two weeks. The method of treatment consista of pouring the hot asphalt over and into the crushed rock at the rate of 1% gallons to the square yard. Im mediately following a light coating of fin* crushed rock is shoveled on, and the roller applied, gradually packing afl to an even surface. When the block has been gone over by this pro cess, another application of the as phalt, Hi gallon to the square yard, is given, this being covered with sand and then all given the final rolling. It is expected that next week will see the completion of the paving on the blocks between Janssen and Port Arthur avenue. A force started Monday in preparing me nrsi o»oc* , below Janssen for the final dressing, j • Recent delay was occasioned by the j necessity of getting a roller from : Sevier country. Contractor Monroe i arranged for it, and a man was sent ! after it, ten miles out from DeQueen, where it had been left some six j months before, and where it had been j in several overflows. After consider able effort on the part of others, th« machine was brought two miles. Then Monroe took things in hand, found it necessary to tear the machine down, clean it of sand and dirt, then, after three days’ hard work, drove it to DeQueen and got it loaded on car for Mena. It arrived Friday, and was unloaded before night. There was much general rejoicing over the start on this work, and only a circus, or perhaps a rodeo, could have attracted a bigger and more in terested crowd tliun that which watched the various processes of street paving during Saturday morn ing.

Friday was the opening day of the cowboy roundup at Menafield and the crowd that turned out to see the sports almost filled the big grand stand.

THE FIRST GREAT W ARSHIP Royal Sovereign. 1637, Alarked Ad vance in Shipbuilding. The first real advance in securing stability and great carrying power in a ship was made by a British archi tect, Phineas Pett, who built the Sov ereign of the Seas, to carry one hun J___ ■ inn-* rK in a vw i . After launching he found that her enormous upper works, in which he had followed the fashion and, inciden tally. the shipping defect of his peri od, made her somewhat unstable. So he took her back, boldly swept away all the cumbrous upper fittings, in creased her length, gave her two decks instead of the original three, and refloated her as the Royal Sov ereign. Under this latter title she remained for sixty years the finest, staunchest, and most easily handled vessel in the British navy, far in advance of any other ship of her kind in the world.— 'Whitehall Gazette.

Hawkins, who in years past has had remarkable success with kaf fir corn, milo maize and feterita, came in Saturday from his farm near Old j Potter, bringing with him heads of kaffir corn which, with the young seeds wholly destroyed, were swarm ing with worms, mostly about one fourth inch long. The on'y grain that has escaped is on some heads matured before the worms came. Mr. Haw kins brought sample heads, seeking in formation. County Demonstrator Broyles being out of the city, Secre tary Smith of the Commercial Club ■sent samples to the state entomolo gist at Little Rock, seeking to learn ,• more of the newest pest. Mr. Hawkins says that from a field of 7 acres of kaffir he will not get much more than a bushel of seed. V.

The bitter complaints of the rail roads against the motor car become plain when it is learned that motors on short hauls carried an estimated 4,932 million persons as compart'd with the 1,234,222,889 revenue pas sengers of the railroads; while trucks hauled 1,200 million tons of freight, or nearly half the amount carried by i the rail lines, which totaled 2,504 mil lion tons. If the railroads were electrified and 1 their rates accordingly made cheaper, ' they could give motors better compe-: ■ tition. The truth is that the railroads < are becoming cumbersome in this fast < age. It will take more than toll gates 1 to overcome such competition. M. N. A.
