Oklahoma Boosters Jailed.
Philadelphia, July 31.—Com
plaints continue to pour in
against the “Oklahoma Boost
ers,” who have been touring the 1
! country in a gaudily furnished
j private car selling lots in Okla
homa. It is alleged that the
{“boosters” have collected more
than $1,000,000 throughout the
country and that the Pennsyl
vania contribution is about
! $200,000. In the little Pennsyl
I vania town of Sunbury, 20 men
have been found who bought lots
at $350 each, paying $50 down
and agreeing to pay $10 a j
month.
j Three more warrants have,
ibeen sworn out by government !
officials against the “boosters,”
making seven in all.
The postoffice department has I
received a letter from a commit
tee of five residents of Wilkes
barre, Pa., who went to McAles
ter, Okla., to investigate condi
tions there. The letters said
that lots sold to residents of [
Wilkesbarre from $200 to $350 i
were not vrorth more than $25. i
The McAlester land deal is!
characterized in the letter as j
one of the biggest frauds ever
perpetrated in this country.
W. F. Gorsuch and Victor1
Rausch, who were arrested in
the “booster car” Monday, still
are in jail. They will have a
further hearing next Monday.

BUILD ROAD
IN ONE DAY
I, 500 Citizens Respond i© ("all
of County Judge and Build
23 Miies of Highway.
Fifteen hundred men respond
ed to the call of County Judge
J. W. Johnston today and spent
the day working on the road be
tween Morrilton and Martin
ville. As a result, Conway
county can now boast of 23
miles of dirt road as good as any
in the state. The workmen were
aided by 125 teams with grad
ers and scrapers, and more than
300 women and children assist
ed in the movement by furnish
ing dinner, carrying water and
running errands. Every busi
ness house in Morrilton was
closed for the entire day and
hardly an able-bodied man re
mained in the city.
Many of the business men left
the city last night and camped
along tne route ot tne proposed
work and at 4 o'clock this morn
ing Representative Carroll Arm
strong threw the first shovelful
of dirt. Wagons loaded with
workmen and tools commenced
leaving Morrilton at 5 o'clock,
and from then until 7:30 the ex
odus continued- The 8 o'clock
automobiles loaded with women
and filled with lunch baskets
started out by parrallel roads,
coming into the worked road at
various points, where dinner was
spread for the workmen.
Judge Johnston on Monday
ordered every road overseer In'
the county to report on the road
from Martinville to Morrilton
with teams, machinery and tools
and the road was divided into
sections, with one of these ex
perienced road builders directing
the workmen every mile and a
half.
Every township in the county
is provided with a road grader,
three teams and scrapers, and
these, in addition to the free la
bor and tools, made the work
progress remarkably fast.

Jonesboro, July 31.— The
large steel county bridge across
St. Francis river at Lake City

County Judge R. L. Edwards
and Commissioners A. M. Self
and W. B. Armstrong. The con
tract price was $65,000- The
contract was awarded while
Judge Maywood was county
judge. The new bridge will be a
great benefit to the people in
the eastern part of the county
and will be the means of much
trade coming to this city that
has heretofore gone elsewhere.

Music to Kill Mosquitoes.
Atlantic City, N. J.. July 31—
The Atlantic County Mosquito
Commission, which has been
granted a $26,000 appropriation
by the County Board of Free
Holders to rid The county of
mosquitoes, may try to lure the
pests to death by musical vibra
tions generated by electricity.
According to information re
ceived by the commission, Dr.
L. O- Howard, of the federal de
partment of agriculture, had
discovered that the hum of the
mosquito commonly attributed
to the vibration of its wings, is
really caused bv air expelled
during the process of respira
tion. Dr. Howard learned that
this hum could be imitated by
electrical vibrations, toward
which mosquitoes precipitated
themselves as if drawn by a
powerful magneto. By attach
ing large strips of sticky fly
paper back of the vibrating
wires he perfected a deadly ex
terminator.
Dr. Howard is noted in the de
partment of agriculture as an
entomologist, and is the author
of several studies of mosquito
prooiems. i ne lucai commis
sion has addressed an inquiry
to him with the idea of adopting
his plan if it proves practicable.

•Committed at the recent demo
cratic primary, the jurors report
ed that they had investigated
ahd found some irregularities,
but that the same irregularities
had existed here before and re
commended that if irregulari
ties of the same kind came up
hereafter, that future grand jur
ies should be instructed to find
indictments against those re
sponsible.
New Com Crop Insect.
Paragould, July 31.—The P*ev.
T. B. Williamson, government
farm demonstrator for Greene
county, reports that a small,
green bug has made its appear
ance in this county, and infests
the corn crop. The bug was first
discovered in the corn field of J.
W. Roberts, north of Paragould.
and later the Rev- Mr. William
son inspected his own field and
found that millions of the insects
were in his corn. They start in
the tassel of the plant and work
their way down. So far the bug
has done no damajffe, but the de
monstrator does not know how
long this condition will remain.
He has sent specimens of the in
'sect to the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, and to the
Arkansas experimental station.
The Rev. Mr. Williamson has
made an appeal to the farmers
of the county to watch the pro
gress of the bug and report the
damage, if any.
