ty we will have to raise twenty five or thirty thousand dollars more in subscriptions. Remember that the board of trustees requires cash, and in order 10 secure cash we have to have more subscriptions in amount than the amount of cash to be deposited in the bank. If we do not secure the necessary amount of subscription to raise the necessary cash within the next 60 days we will lose the thousand dol lars deposited with the board of trustees as a guarantee of good faith. But this loss would be small indeed compared with the lots to our county of this great in stitution which is destined to be of more importance in the history of the state of Arkansas than even the state university itself, and of more financial benefit to Faulkner county annually than, half the en- tire cotton crop of any year in its history.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL IS LOCATED AT
 CONWAY BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF BOARD

to make this trip, and have cor dially invited MT. Donaghey to accompany them and he will do so ii the health of his wife permits.
 An executive committee, com posed of the members of the board who reside in Little Rock, was ap- pointed to transact such business as may be necessary in the absence of the entire board. This commit tee is composed of Prof. Doyne, Auditor Moore, Prof. Torreyson and Treasurer Yates.
 The board also appointed com- mittee composed of Prof. Doyne Senator Wingo and Judge Ross to visit Conway on Monday to select the site and arrange the details of the location of the normal. It was understood that each member of the board would accompany them if possible, and all were present except MT. Ponder.
 An adjournment was taken un- til September 4, at which time the inspection committee will report their observations of the other nor malls which they have visited, ten tative plans for the buildings will be agreed upon and an architect employed to make the drawings and specifications.
 When the final plans have been adopted, the contract for the build ing will be let, and it is expected that actual work of construction will begin within about tour months, with the expectation that the normal will be in readiness for the opening session in September 1908.

LITTLE ROCKS GREAT LOSS
Gazette Says it Made Bitter Mistake in
 Failing to Secure Normal.


 In an editorial in Tuesdays is- sue the Little Rock Gazette up- braids the citizens of the capital city for their failure to make an effort to secure the state normal. It says:
 The state normal school goes to Conway, that town having offered the choice of five sites and $5I,753 in money. On this showing Con- way deserved to get the institution.
 We state deliberately our belief that in allowing the state normal to go to another city Little Rock has lost the biggest prize since it allowed the University of Arkansas to go to Fayetteville. If the nor nal grows to what it is expected to grow to it will have within a few years an annual attendance of ,ooo students. Before long it may have bigger attendance than the state university has, and we must remember that large part of the university consists of the preparatory department.
 If the normal becomes the big gest educational institution in Arkansas how will the people of Little Rock feel when they see at Conway "a campus filled with buildings and 1000 students iu attendance from all over the state?
 The people of Little Rock sim ply refused to be convinced of what the state normal will amount to and refused to take any interest in that institution. Within a few years they will realize what bit ter mistake they made.

 ance of 40.

 The school is under the direction of J. Aston Clapp, an expert cot ton man of Little Rock, who will be assisted by others later on dur ing the session. Correct grading and sampling of cotton are the main principles which will be taught at the school.
 The school was promulgated by State Purchasing Agent James l. Ellis, whose idea is to make expert cotton men of those ill charge of the various Farmers Union ware houses of the state. Only mem bers of the union are allowed to at tend the institution and the state union bears the expense of its maintenance.
 At the opening of the school Monday morning John T. Stinson, agricultural agent of the Missouri Pacific railway, was present and delivered a short address. He urged the importance of a diversi- fcation or rotation of crops as com pared with the use of commercial fertilizers. Cow peas, he said, was one of the best possible crops to build up the productive powers of land.

raise their cash offer to S55,ooo and furnish all water and electric lights needed for the institution. Fort Smith also wanted to amend its offer by proposing to furnish all the building stone needed in the construction of the buildings. The decision of the board made at its former meeting on June "A, how ever, not to reopen the proposition for bids, was final, and the bids were acted upon as originally sub- mitted to the board.
 Among those present from Con- 1 way were the following: George w. Donaghey, Pres. S. Anderson, ]. E. Little, w. M. Harrell, Rev. ]. J. Hurt. S. M. Apple, w. B. Wilson, D. Stewart, Sam Frauen- thai, w. N. Owen. Prof. T. F. Forrest and Frank E. Robins.
 The decision of the board was announced about I2 o'clock. The various delegations were gathered about the state house and grounds, anxiously awaiting the verdict, and when, after about an hour S session, the board asked to confer with George w. Donaghey, who has led our contest for the normal, |, the fact was regarded as signifi- cant, and happy smile came over the faces of the Conway crowd, while disappointment was read in the countenances of those from other contesting towns. About ten minutes later the board fled out of the superintendent's office, where the board had been in session, and announced that the normal had been located at Conway. No demonstration was made by the representatives ot the successful city, and the delegations from the contesting places accepted their defeat manfully and were quick to congratulate their victori- ous rivals.
 Board to Visit Other Normals.
 During the meeting of the board Prof. Doyne, Senator Wingo and Prof. Torreysor were appointed a committee to visit the normal schools in Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia and South Carolina, with view to inspecting the buildings and equipment in order to secure suggestions from the experience of those operating normals ln the states named that will be ot advan- tage to the board in the establish ment of the school at Conway. The committee expects to visit the normal schools at Springfield and Cape Girardeau, Mo-, Rock Hlii' s. C., Athens, Ga, and Nacogdo- ches La, with instructions to re- port the result of their observations to the board at it's meeting on Sep tember 4. ,.

POTATO SOUP.

Suppose you want a simple potato
soup: you tell Felicie. "Af1. oui, ma
dame; potage parmentier," and this is
the way she makes it:
Wash and peel six or eight potatoes;
put them into a saucepan with two
onions cut into tiny pieces and three
pints of cold water. Bring them to a
boil and when perfectly tender, which
should be in about thirty-five or forty
minutes, pass the whole through a
sieve. Return to the fire and season
with pepper and salt, a pinch of graf
ed nutmeg and lump of butter the
size of a walnut. Bring again to q
boil and stir in quickly a cup of rich
milk: serve Immediately. Bear in
mind that all these soups are to be
poured over croutons, and that this
is the way you prepare them.
Remove the crust from slices of stale
bread: cut into small dice and drop
into boiling butter; shake very gently
but thoroughly till light golden brown.
When done. which will be in about
minute, take them up with a skinner
and lay them in the mouth of the oven
on brown paper to dry. Lard may be
used instead of butter; the croutons
are not quite so rich, but a prettier
color: in either case the fat must
nearly cover the bread and must be
boiling
