"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

many of the men who served in j
France were not high salaried mend
and made a financial smrificc when
they wen- sent to war. and that this
fact was a proof that monetary in- ’
duci-mcrits did not prompt them to i
enlist, but rather the pure patriotism,
for their country, and he pointed out
to the lommittae that the servii-c i
men were still wearing their army

to buy fur-iined collars and flivvers,
as did the men who remained hen 1 in |

PRESIDENT TO RE-

Int. ii ■ I News Si-ivln
Washington. D. C, March 3. It
is the belief of those who are close
I to the president that he will resume
his private citizenship one year from
tomorrow, and that he will not hr a
candidate for a thin! term, but that
hr will endeavor to have a third term
of his principles, and it is also be-
Ilicved that he will not express any
choice of the Democratic candidates
until the Frisco convention, when it
is expect* d that he will pick his suc
; cessnr.

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.
