 Go Farther"

That's why knowing housewives like "our kind" of groceries. They long ago found there is no saving in buying cheap foods.
 All this doesn't mean we are high priced or sell "expensive goods." Oh, no! We carry just good pure foods at prices as low as cost allows. We aim to be the "most eco nomical store in Conway" also the "clean- est' store in Conway. Try us and see.

SUPT. WATERS FINAL REPORT
Public School Honor Roll for the
 Last Quarter.
Enrolment in Schools During Session Reached 775.-Attendance Was
 Good.

Below is the final report of Supt. s. $. Waters of the Conway public schools, for the session just ended:
 The session of IooS,o of the public school has passed into his tory, and as we look back over the work done and consider the prog ress made, we can see many mis- takes and feel that in many in- stances we, as a school, have failed to enter open doors to higher attachments; but while this is true, we do not feel discouraged nor consider ourselves defeated on any part of the ground. Our difficulties so far have been great, but ia some way we have risen above them and our school has constantly taken higher ground. A finer spirit in the student body cannot be found anywhere, high class pride pre- vails, the class of 1909 leaves as token of its love for our school a beautiful table and two chairs, and the classes of 1910 and 1911 are we'll organized and are trying to make records superior to any of past years. The tenth grade, or class of 1910, has had no failure in it during the year and hope that this record may hold for another year, and that the other classes may catch the same spirit.
 Our attendance during the year has been very good. The enroll ment for the year-white, 6o3; black, TYP; total, 775. Out of this number 7S have been tardy. We feel that this is splendid report and we have sufficient reasons to be proud. Especially do we rejoice

COMMISSION MAY
 CALL ASSESSORS

Little Rock, May 24 Judge J. E. Hampton, chairman of the Ark ansas tax commission, arrived this morning from Fordyce, he stop ping there to spend Sunday on his way back from Alabama, where he went with Secretary McDaniels of the commi ssion to inspect the work of the Alabama commission. Secretary McDaniels returned Sat urday night. The Alabama com- mission started under about the same conditions as the Arkansas commission, and the commission CTS will start here in about the same way as did the Alabama com mission.
 A meeting will be held today and it is thought state convention of assessors will be called so as to get all the assessors working with the commission md have the ass essments all made on one basis. The commission expects to at once declare a taxation upon tan gible assets, from which source much revenue is expected. This was the chief revenue producer of the Alabama commission for a number of months, until the other systems were working good. It brought relief immediately, and this is what Governor Donaghey is after, as he has pledged him self to give the state institutions all the surplus revenue possible to relieve the reductions recently made in their appropriations.

PUSHING WORK
 ON NEW LEvEE

Night and day the work on the new levee in this county is being pushed whenever the weather per mits, in the hope that it may be completed before the June rise in the Arkansas river. A big force of men is being worked by Con- tractors w. J. Morrow & Son and the job is now about one-half finished.
 The river itself is being used to transport some of the material used in the construction of the levee. A big barge loaded with crushed stone and sand for the concrete blocks on the levee was brought up from Little Rock Saturday.

FAVORS SUNDAY BASEBALL
Little Rock Preacher Thinks That 1t Should
 Be Permitted


 Little Rock, May 24.-Special. A very large audience yesterday afternoon greeted Rev. G. E. Gun ningham, the pastor of the Univer- salist chapel who spoke at the Majestic in favor of wholesome Sunday amusements. He was in- troduced by Mayor Dnley, who heartily approved the sentiments of Rev. Cunningham for Sunday base ball and other amusements. Rev. Cunningham spoke for over an hour and held his audience in- tensely interested the entire time. , Speaking of Sunday base ball, he characterized the game as the greatest of all sports, and referred to the absolute devotion of rich and poor to it. He said the poor and the working man did not have an opportunity of seeing the games, or indulging in them on week days, and when they are deprived of the sport on Sunday by Blue laws, burden is placed upon them which is unjust.
 Rev. Cunningham stated that all places of wholesome amusement should be kept open for the work ing people on Sunday. He said the people should be allowed to have what amusement they wanted on the Sabbath just so long as it did not interfere with anyone else or his religious belief. Rev. Gun ningham was very earnest in his plea for Sunday amusements for the working man, and from his lecture a moment will start to get Sunday ball in Little Rock. Amateur ball is now allowed in the suburbs of the city, but pro- fessional ball is not permitted in either Little Rock or Argenta.

AT THIS session of congress an at
tempt will be made to restore the old
law taxing oleomargarine two cents a
pound The law of July /, 1902, makes
a tax of ten cents on the colored and
one-fourth of cent pound on the
uncolored. The first three months of
the fiscal year the production of oleo-
margarine was 1000, 900 pounds, only
one-fourth of which was taxed as col
ored. The total revenue was $102, 595.
At the old rate of two cents a pound
the revenue would have been $40, 600.
While the revenue from oleo has de-
clined 40 per cent this year, the num-
Der of licensed dealers in artiicially
colored oleo has increased. The theory
of fraud is the only one that explains
this condition and the treasury depart
ment has adopted this theory. But,
there is not the faintest reason under
the sun for blighting one business that
is entirely legitimate merely to benefit
another. 1t never can be deemed right

mated that three million matches are

seven billion matches for the entire

this large amount of matches yearly.

Gilbert and Taft.

Attorney General Gilbert and Con-
gresham John M. Nelson have entered
the contest for congressional honors
from the Second congressional district
of Wisconsin. The election will be held
next fall. The contest is many months
distant but there is keen interest init
already. Both men are progressive"
in the republican party. Mr.. Nelson is
radically so. Mr.. Gilbert, by his record
as attorney general, is not only so in
word but in deed.
1t might seem that there is no real
issue between the two men; but there
is great and browning issue.
When the battle lines are at last
drawn it will be found that John M.
Nelson heads the elements which OPP
pose President Taft. 1t will be found
that Attorney General Gilbert heads
the elements that will support Presi-
dent Taft
Mr.. Gilbert will not only draw
strength because he will lead the Taft
wing of the party, but because Mr.. Gil
bert himself is eminently qualified for
the office of congressman. And follow
ing are some Of the qualities that will
add strength to his campaign and will
fit him for the office of congressman:
Keen perception especially in detect
ing errors in judgment and in distin-
gushing the right and the wrong of an
issue; and in Analysing sophistries of
argument.
A man of high. professional ideals
who never stoops to pettyfogging nor
to demagoguery. He practices law on
! a high plane of ethics and abhors lend
ing his talents to the defense of dis
honesty or to the protection of con-
fessed viciousness.
Absolutely honest in his business and
professional relations with all men.
A man of strong convictions, yet fair
and liberal in considering all sides and
all opinions before passing judgment;
yet forceful and firm in standing back
of and maintaining an opinion when
formed.
A convincing debater and campaign
A man of rare faculty in getting a
/! hearing even from an adverse audience,
appealing to them by his remarkable
! fairness and at the same time by his
exceptional capacity for repartee and
by his faculty of logical presentation of
discourse.
| A man long experienced with men
in all occupations and in all classes.
| Mr.. Gilbert was admitted to the
practice of law in 1898; elected district
! attorney of Dane county in 1902; re-
elected and held office until January,
