THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
 by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when paint peels, or cracks. or otherwise necessitates premature re-painting?
 Well, sometimes 1t hasn't been properly applied-the surface being damp or there being too much turpen- tine or too much drier.
 But, nine times out of ten, the trouble is caused by adulterated white lead
 To avoid all such trouble, every houseowner should know in general way. when surface is in proper con- dition to receive paint, what kind of primer and finishing coats different surfaces require. and how to avoid adulteration in materials.
 A complete painting guide. includ- ing book of color schemes, specif- cations for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adul- terations in painting materials. with directions for using it. can be had free by writing National Lead Com pany, 1902 Trinity Bldg. New York, and asking for Houseowner's Paint. ing Outfit No. 49.
 This company, the largest makers of pure white lead, invite tests, by means of the blewpipe Gncluded in outfit, or in any other way. of the purity of the white lead sold under their famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark. That trademark on a keg of white lead is in itself an absolute guarantee of purity and quality.

WILL 60 AFTER
 UNIVERSITY
| title Rock Anxious to Secure States
 Largest School.

Little Rock.-Plans looking to the establishing of greater University of Arkansas at Little Rock were in augurated at recent meeting of the directors of the Business Mems League of this city. The capital city now offers s250,000 for the location of the university here and a deter mined effort will be launched to SC. cure the institution.
 The bill. embodying the establish ment of the university near Little Rock. and which will be presented to the legislature, provides that the az ricutural college, containing the de partments of agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry and their al lied branches, be allowed to remain at Fayetteville. Of the s250,000, S100.- GOO will be used to reimburse Wash ington county for the removal of the university. When the university was first founded the citizens of Washing ton county raised this amount by a bond issue to secure the university and now. should the institution be re- moved, it is fitting that Washington county should receive back the full amount.
 The quarter of a million dollars offered by Little Rock would be rais- ed through a bond issue by an i'm proyement district and the city and the adjoining territory for a radius of about five miles will be made the basis of this bond issue It is plan ned to locate the university at some place within five miles of the city.

hotel there Mabee addressed Bishop Luther B. Wilson,
President Of the AntSaloon League of America letter

hearing he would prove that leading supernenens of
the organization and other league workers guilty
