PROF. FERMlER. THE HEAD OF THE
NEW NJ. E. DEPARTMENT.

Professor Emile Jerome Fermier,
who has recently come to take
charge OF the Department OF Me-
chanical Engineering, succeeding
Professor Whitlock, received his
general education in the schools of
Indiana, in which State he was
born.
AT the age Of eighteen he re-
ceived the degree of b. S. from the
Indiana State Normal school at
Valparaiso. His technical educa-
ton was received at Purdue Uni
versity where he was graduated in
1894 with the degree of B. NJ. T..
He was at that time selected by
the Faculty to represent the School
OF Mechanical Engineering at the
Commencement exercises.
In 1895 he received his advanced
degree from the same institution,
having been instructor in the Me
chanical Department during 94-95.

Purdue he was engaged as assist
ant in the University of Michigan
where he taught descriptive geom-
etry and photography.

ing mathmatics and the sciences in
the Military Academy at Upper
Alton, Illinois, and established and
organized Manual Training in the

again to Purdue where he remained
until coming to the A. and NJ.
College of Texas.
At the time of his resignation at
Purdue, he occupied the position of

adopting this rule in regard to distant subscribers. In the first place, majority of them, perhaps, are gift subscriptions, paid for by parties other than those to whom the paper is sent. These sub scribers, of course, do not feel like being called upon to pay several years back subscription to paper which they never ordered, and as no record is kept of the giver of the subscription, the publisher loses whatever Is due.
 We also find that a number of distant subscribers change from one postofice to another without notifying us, and then, after a time. the postmaster sends us a mo- tice something like this: Post office at Scrubville, Texas. Sir: Your paper addressed to A. B. Smith is not taken out, but re- mains dead in this office. You will please discontinue the same. Reason: Removed; present ad- dress unknown. And when we go to our books, the chances are that we find that MT. Smith $ sub scription expired sometime back in 1902 and that he owes perhaps S4. In this way, during ,just the past month, we have lost nearly S3o in subscription accounts which we can never collect.
 We feel that 1t is not asking toe much of those of our distant sub scribers who really care to receive the paper, to place the same de gree of confidence in us that they are forced to place in all metropol- itan papers and magazines, and make their payments in advance. We hope to receive remlttances from all subscribers affected by this rule in due time, so that none will be lost from our lists.

CANNED PAINTINGS.

Paintings under glass may now b' preserved indefinitely. Had the men of old known this, the pictures ol Apelles might still live in the frs' freshness of their colors, and ths work of Raphael and Michaelaa' gelo would look to-day as it looked when it left the painters hands.
 The method of preservation i simple. The canvas IS placed in vacuum. It is preserved, like fruit It is sealed up from all the destruc tive influences of the atmosphere Since metal figures in the operation the canvas might, indeed, be said to be canned.
 There is no reason why painting kept in this manner in vacuum should not endure indefinitely.

WATERWORKS CONTRACT LET
Morrilton's Improvement As
 sumes Reality.
Ground Broken in That City Last Thursday as Thanksgiving Day
 Celebration.

Alter several extended meetings of the board of directors of the waterworks company 9 contract was let Wednesday night to MT. J. C. Wilson of St. Louis, says the Morrilton Democrat of last Friday. Thursday morning the necessary papers were drawn up, and just for real good Thanksgiving celebra- ton ground was broken at the pro- posed dam on the Iseman place near the river, and Capt. Carroll Armstrong was accorded the pleas ure of shoveling the first shovel full of dirt. The plans call for big dam in the brake in the ridge next to the river just back of the old Breeden place, with |an intake and filter in the mouth ofPoint Re move creek and another filter inside the dam so that all water will be doubly filtered. The pumps will have capacity of nearly million gallons of water a day, and the two boilers will be huge monsters set in a substantial brick house and all pipes, valves, connections, etc. to be of the best and latest makes. The steel tank will have a capacity of so, 900 gallons of water and will be erected on the hill near MT. De Longs residence and will be of sui ficient height to give a natural pressure that will throw water at least 60 feet high through four 200 feet hose lines. Active work will begin at once and the contractors promised to have water flowing by the first of April. Morrilton has made so many unsuccessful efforts to get water that this news seems almost too good to be true. The Democrat wants to commend each member of the company, each di- rector and each officer of the com pany for their unselfsh sacrifice in this enterprise and we now propose that their names be placed in the most prominent and lasting place in Morrilton Hall of Fame, il there is ever one built here.

The old saw to the contrary, fig ures sometimes lie. But the fig ures giving the statistics of the cot ton business i'll Conway, as printed ill this paper each week, are facts, and they prove that Conway is the best cotton market in the central section of the state. With only an average crop in Faulkner county, the cotton receipts of this city are larger than ever before at this time of the year. Already nearly as much cotton has been brought to Conway to this date as was receiv- ed here during the entire season last year. Our buyers deserve great credit for doing so much to- ward building up Conway sreputa- ton as a cotton center.

breeder of poultry secures a good breed which suits his fancy and sticks to that breed, eliminating all mongrel fowls from his flock. Chickens are sold by weight and a carefully bred chicken will, with the same attention and the same amount of food, develop into a much larger and heavier fowl than a mongrel breed. Certain foods are also peculiarly adapted to chickens, and should be used to obtain the best results. A good plan would be for everyone intend ing to go into poultry busi ness to get some good books and subscribe for one or more journals devoted to this subject and carefully study them.
 An organization ought to be formed to promote this industry. Annnal poultry shows should be held at some point in the county and liberal prizes offered for the best fowls. Each breeder would thus not only have good sale of his produce on the market but would have an opportunity of sell ing pairs of his best breeds at fancy prices. The owner of one of the exhibits in the poultry train here Friday stated that he refused SIoo for one of his hens. This hen was raised in Arkansas county, this state, and what was done in Arkansas county could just as easily be done in Faulkner coun- ty.
 We hope to see an active inter est taken in this enterprise. It is business which requires no cap ital, and failure is therefore impos- sible. The profits are certain.

ON 4 CASH BASIS.

The Log Cabin Democrat re- grets to announce this week to its subs cribers living outside oi Faulkner cou nty, that this paper, after January I, 1907, will be sent to them only when their subscrip- tions are paid in advance. As stated in the announcement on the first page of this issue, this rule will not affect subscribers liv- ing in Faulkner county or imme- diately adjacent territory (the lat ter exception being made for the reason that majority of our sub- scribers getting mail at Quitman, Fl Paso and other postofflces near the county lines actually live in Faulkner ,county).

POUZ TR Y RAISING.

The visit of the Missouri Pacific Railway Company's poultry exhib- 1t train to Conway last week will serve a good purpose if it induces the people of this county to devote more attention to the subject of poultry raising. Here is an unde- veloped field of the widest possi- bilities. The magnitude of the poultry business in the United States is something enormous. The value of this product annually amounts to more than the entire cotton crop of the south or the en- tire corn crop of the nation.
 Without reducing one penny the value of our present crops, it ought to be an easy matter to ship from this county each year several hundred thousand dollars worth oi chickens and eggs. It is a busi- ness that can be developed on our farms at odd times without detri- znent to any other interests. Il will furnish pleasant and lucra- tive occupation for the wives and children of our farmers.
 Poultry is just as much cash crop as cotton. Buyers in Conway no longer ask the sellers Of this produce to accept payment in the goods which they sell. They pay ehe highest market prices in actu- al noney and are glad to do it.. And as the business grows, more buyers will enter the market, com petition will be stimulated and good prices will always be as sured.
 We are told that the successful

COTTON FIRE AT ATKINS
Conway Cotton Oil Mill One of the Losers
 in Big Blaze Yesterday

Reports reached this city yester- day of a disastrous fire which oc- cured at Atkins early yesterday morning. It is stated that over 800 bales of cotton were consumed. The cotton is said to have been i'll the hands of the railway company, in which case the loss will fall up on them.
 The Conway oil mill lost their seed house, sales and 5 or 30 tons of seed which were located on the railway track at Atkins. Manager Henry Frauenthal estimates the loss at about S6oo, on which there was no insurance.
