THE BATESVILLE TWICE-A-WEEK GUARD HOW IMPROVED ROADS BENEFIT THE FARMERS An experiment station car, start ing from A. and M, college, was driven 800 miles in Mississippi re cently on a business trip, and trav eled on dirt roads only 90 miles. Arrangements had been completed and work begun for improving 80 miles of the latter. No retracing was done. In driving for pleasure, one may travel thousands of miles in the state and never encounter dirt roads. The value of improved roads to business interests and industry is un questioned, and from this view-point the farmer receives indirect benefits which have never been calculated, but are the rural people receiving the maximum benefits from improv ed roads ? How is the farmer helped. This is a question which each must answer for himself. Improved roads increase the value of farms which they serve and increase overhead costs by road taxes assessed as such, by increased valua tion, or by both, but they do not in crease yields per acre or per unit of livestock. permitting a freer use of farm auto- Good roads benefit the farmer by mobiles and a wider range of social and business activities. In the case of social activities the benefits are in the form of pleasure and usually require some outlay of cash in addi tion to the auto and the good road. In widening the business range, the road may be made to pay more tangible dividends. Closely akin to the latter use is the .use of farm trucks. Improv ed roads make the economic use of trucks possible, but a profitable use is by no means guaranteed. The value of improved over unim proved roads to the farmer may be summed up in four statements: 1. —They permit the hauling of lar ger loads with a given amount of power. 2.—They increase the range of the farmer’s activities. 3.—They permit travel at all sea sons of the year. Only by taking advantage of these conditions can a farmer reap tangible benefit from improved roads. If one bale of cotton was a load on the old road, two or more bales should be easily hauled with the same pow er on the improved road. If it'required all day to make the trip to town with a team on the old' road, three hours should now suffice with a car on .the new road. Wider Markets Under Conditions of improved roads and trucks, markets 50 miles away may be reached as easily as mar kets 10 miles away were reached un der the old conditions. Improved roads permit mark''' at any time rather than onlv w’vr roads are passable. They also off nr possibilities in the way of roadside markets. The movement for good roads is still new. It will doubtless go on til every farm is served by a goo' 7 road, but if the farmer is to rean th° maximum benefit, hs must adapt hh equipment, his time schedule and his business to the improved conditions of tra’fel.

Maxfield’s 17,000 DIVORCES SOUGHT IN CHICAGO Chicago, Sept. 4.—Seventeen thou sand divorce cases; 34,000 mismatch ed persons, are awaiting action in the Chicago courts, with only four judges to sift out the misery and make it possible for those set free to go forth and probably make the same matrimonial cisstep over again. Last year in Chicago, there were 40,000 marriages and against this number are the 17,000 divorce cases. This represents a 10 per cent in crease in the business of the divorce mills in al2 month period. Judges estimate that if this rate continues, divorces will outnumber marriages | two to one in this city in the next decade. . Seeking a cause for this startling state of affairs, students of sociology say it is neither prohibition nor jazz They attribute it largely to the fact that, in their forward march to com plete freedom, women are quitting .the home to engage in business. Wom । en are becoming professionalized instat'd of domesticated and are high ly sophisticated as well. I Clerks who handle the thousands of divorce papers predict that a mar riageless era is in prospect. They %ay the ease with which divorces may be obtained has much to do with the I great increase. Trifles, formerly I passed over as such in family life, plow are urged and accepted as !grounds for separation. Hasty mar- I riages, following gay parties, rarely | last more than a fortnight. The sec ond and third generations of cigar ette smoking and gin drinking par ents are nervous, irritable and poor ly balanced, and their marriages us .ua’ly turn out badly. Mrs. Charlie Walden and two dau ghters, Misses Alice LeNelle and lola spent Monday at Newport, making the trip there and return by ear. • ♦ • John Bracey of Little Rock visited relatives in the city during the week end. lam an garidous t / K J : I should be killedl \ Bee Brand Powder or \ Liquidkills Flies,Fleas, \ Mosquitoes, Roaches, 1 Ants, W ater Bugs, Bed I Bugs, Moths, Crickets, J Poultry Lice and many / other insects. / Powder Liquid I roc and asc soc and 75c / goc and *I.OO Si.as f 30c .Spray Gun. 35c / Wtiteforfree bookieton kill- 1 iaghouseandgardeninsects I McCormick & Co.
