BATESVILLE DAILY GUARD VOLUME XV. FARMER BUYS YF * RT ADVERTY INC SPACE "There is something new in tin Headlight this week M. I Hva’t rime down from his home ten miles up the lake and inquired what our rate would be on a certain a nount of advertising space by the year. I We told him mid he aid h' v. j]d take it. lie sail he always Imd something to sell <r trade, er else wanted something, and h" believed I that a regular apace in the Head I light in which 1. < mid put anything ho nleased at any time would be I ' just the thing to get results. Sol' there you are. We have don> a -><l I deni of advertising for farmers in I the last twenty years, but this is ; the first time we ever sold a farmer j‘ a year's space. "A good mnhy ar ner: put up bulletin boards in front of their, farms, and put on a notice of what 1 ever they have to sell from tinu to j time, which is a good idea, though ‘ in these days of automobiles the traveler doesn't always top to read ■ a bulletin. "If you could put up a bulletin: 1 and then have a guarantee that ' people would go past it every wc , for b 2 weeks in the year, and t ia' I they would all I c ■ oing slow snougb ’ to read it. it would be worth more, ’ wouldn't it ? "Well, that i* what Mr Hyatt h . 1 done."—From the Big Stone (S. D. i Headlight.

HOW MONEY IS SPENT IN BUILD- ING ROADS Practically 90 per cent of the to tal cost of building good roada in Ar kansas is expended in actual con struction work. The balance of the amount raised through assessments and through appropriations from th ■ state -mil federal aid funds, is used to pay the “overhead” expenae. Il has lx-en brought out at the last special session of the legislature that a majority of those who have raised objections to the creation of new road district- oppose the build in ■ <’f iriproved highways principal ly because a large percent of the money gin’s to the engineers, attor ney nnd others, and is not used in actual construction work. The State H ghv y Commission lias supervisory jurisdicti n over all road < onstruction work in the state. Before the commissioners of any road district act finally in award- nera an required to file their plans and speci fication with the Highway Depart ment. I nles< these are satisfactory to the commission, they are disprov ed, ami the contact i annot be award ed until they are revised. It is m this way that the High way Department keeps an accurate check upon the cost of building good r.mds in the state When it is shown in the speiifications that the “over hemi" expenses will amount to more than 10 per cent of the total cost, the plans ar • disapproved. The dis approval f the plans by the High vay Department automatically "kills” them. The largest item in the “over head expense of a road district is the five percent paid to the engineer. An engineer cannot properly super vise the construction of a modern highway for less than 5 per cent of tm- cost of the road and sometimes * money at 5 per cent. Ihe en gineer is required to be on the job fr mi the time the survey is begun until the road is completed. There is a general misunderstand in" the amount the attorney for a r ad district receives. Some attorneys for mad districts are paid as much as 3 per < ent of the total cost of the r ad, but most of them receive les*. Their work usually is heaviest during i . early construction, when there la considerable litigation in the courts in which the district is interested. The attorney also is required to ob tain abstracts of all the land in the district. The balance of the “overhead ex j^nse is used in paying the mileage and per diem of the commissioners, advertising, stationery, etc.
