CONWAY WILL HAVE FAIR.
Association Will Elect Officers Within
"a Few DAYS.

Conway Sufficient stock has now
been subscribed to assure the organi-
alton of the Faulkner County Fair
association and the stockholders will
meet to elect officers within a few
days. On account of the fact that no
one was permitted to subscribe for
more than four shares, it has re-
quired a canvass of several days to
place the stock, but the promoters of
the county fair now state positively
that it will be held next fall.
Several other towns in the state
proposing to have fairs are being
communicated with in order to have
no conflict in dates and to form a
circuit for concessions and horses to
follow before going to the state fair at
Hot Springs.

livery time you swing your arms

the theory OF Darwin, that man Is
the offspring Of primeval monkeys.
II was while leaping from tree branch
to tree branch that our aboriginal pro-
genitors first developed the arm swing
BAG habit. and man is only following
the instincts OF centuries when he in
dulges IN the practice today.
Back Of this theory there is sound
scientific support. for it comes from
Sir victor Horsley, one of the foremost
OF English scientists.
Sir victor has been examining deeply
into the causes OF a lot OF known brain
facts, and in this line he came across
his conclusions regarding one OF the
commonest forms OF mans walking
habits.
when in primitive stage man
walked on all fours, he had other uses
The San Francisco call., 1909-08-29

for his arms than those for which he
employs them today.
Then they were not simply of value
for the grasping and handling Of OBJ
jects, but they had a whole lot to do
with actual locomotion.
The control of the movements of
walking are vested In the little under
stood part of the brain known as the
cerebellum. This is sometimes called
the silent BRAIN" because It's functions
are more or less automatic. and do not
call for active thought on part of the
person.
BY close examination of mans habits
in walking. the investigator found
that the arms and legs are moving in
sort of rhythm in walking; that is,
they are working automatically. Just
as in swimming.
This was essential to steady prog
ress in walking on all fours. The wise

NAL. well balanced cerebellum. When
the disease known as locomotor ataxia
comes 1t means that the cerebellum is
deranged and has ceased to correctly
perform its functions.
The action of the oerebellum only
comes after some period of practice.
New born animals can not stand. They
sprawl in all directions and it is not
until the cerebellum's machinery has
become trained and accustomed to the
work that they can go along as they
should, erect and masterful
The scientist proved this part of his
case most remarkably by experiments
on the brain of cat and kitten.
In the case of the former the cere-
bellum had well developed lobes and
ffbers, showing the organ to be in a
progressive and powerful condition.

monkey OF the ancient times found out
that he could get along far more rap
idly by moving alternately on each Of
his four members than by standing on
his hind legs and hopping along, maxi
ing complete stop between each move
ment.
Perhaps he didn't reason this out
exactly. for 1t is not in evidence that
the prehistoric simian was overloaded
with mental capacity. but he didn't
need to think very hard to come to the
decision. for as has been said before
the operation OF locomotion is largely
controlled by the cerebellum, whose
actions are independent of the cere-
brum, or thinking part OF the brain.
Sir Victor explains that the cerebel-
lum is a purely sensory organ, which
