LARGE CROWD
 CREETS PUPILS PUBLIC SCHOOL CONCERT GIVEN LAST NIGHT PROVED A BIG SUCCESS-1O0 STU
 DENTS PARTICIPATE.

A crowd which packed the audlto- rum and gallery of the public school building to it's fullest capacity greeted the pupils in their annual commence ment concert last night, and it is easy to say that it was the finest affair of the kind seen in Conway in many g day. The program was carried out in every particular with the eXcep- tion of the selections by the Ander- son juvenile band, which, on account of the absence of some of the mem bers, was unable to appear.
 The opening number of the pro- gram was the welcome song by 20 pu piis of the intermediate grades The second number, a pantomme emitted "A Week in SUahonnet Land, by the little girls of the first and second grades, was a decided feature of the program, and produced in seven scenes, q scene Ior each day of the week. The flag drill by more than 30 pupils of the intermediate grades Was another enjoyable number of the pro gram. Hhr May pole Gvj.i ay Il pu- Dls of the t.ad and foulJh grades, was pro ahiy tal Hrest es. Griil pre- scnted during the evening"
 After a delightful piano duet by Misses Helen and Bessie Martin, the pantomime from Evangeline, the most elaborate feature of the program, was given. As the beautiful story from Longfellow was read in charming manner by Miss Pauline Newbern, three tableauX were presented. The first showed the betrothal of ETange- line and Gabriel, as Evangeline was spinning before the great open fire in the sitting room of her fathers Arcadian home. The second tableau was the boat scene, while the third showed the hospital, where Evange- line discovered her lover, only again to lose him in death.
 The program closed with a well rendered chorus by the girls of tae upper grades.
 Tonight the graduating exercises will be held and Is pupils of the high school will receive diplomas. The ad- dress to the graduates will be deliver ed by NJ, E. Dunaway of Little Rock.

CRIPPLE CONNECTS
 RECEIVE PARDONS

Little Rock, May Ex-Governor Donaghey yesterday issued procla- nation which set at liberty four ne gro and two white convicts who have for some time been usless charges on the state "These pardons are grant ed on the recommendation of the pen itentiary physician and the penlten- tiary officials, because of their physi- cal condition, reads the statement accompanying the proclamation of pardon They are of no benefit what ever to the state, the physician says here is no chance for them to inn prove; their physical condition ren- ders them incapable of committing further crimes and prevents them from being a further menace to so- ciety. In most cases they have rela- tives who have expressed willing ness to care for them if pardoned." " It was a parade of the lame, the halt and the blind when the crippled con victs filed out of the pententiary yard. Governor Donaghey will prob ably set free a number more of the cripples which are eating their heads off at the expense of the state, being unable to do work of any kind and so helpless they could not again com init crime.

FRIDAY THE I31H::
 IS I 4 100000?

uperstitioua people and many who claim not to be superstitious will breathe more easily when today has passed into history and nothing se- nous has occurred to them. It is Friday, the 18th day of the month. Fl.day. oI course, is an unlucky day under normal conditions, but when 1t falls on the "hoo-doo' day of the month, it furnishes combination simply ferce in the minds of those wh0 gre accus toned to hold signs and omcns in reverence. In addition to tnis, the close proximity of Hal {,y's comet, whose tail is expected to lde-sw.pe the earth on next WeGnes- day. makes the day one to be dreaded.
 @s matter of fact, however, since golum us sighted this continent on the sixth day of the week, history records that about as many events good as evil have occurred on Friday. And as each month has 18th, which must fan on one of the seven days, there is just one chance in seven that that day will happen to be Friday, 70 that Friday. the 18th, occurs on an average a little less than twice a year. Inc present instance, however, is the only one in 1910.

LITTLE ROCK BANKRUPT WAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN MISS
 ING ASSETS.

Little Rock, May 13.-Friends of Newman Baum, the bankrupt sent to the Pulaski county jail yesterday by Judge Jacob Trieber because he did not pay over to J. A. Conner, trustee for his creditors, $16,6S4.10, as direct ed by the federal court, believe that Judge Trieber will not force the old man to remain long in prison, but peo- pie familiar with the court are of a different opinion Baum conducted a furnishing store on East Markham street, supplying share croppers and renters and taking mortgages on their crops. He filed a petition in bank ruptcy two years ago and the credit DTS resisted his discharge. He could not show what had become of his as sets and several times he was ordered to disgorge. The case was twice ap- pealed to the highest court and final iy affirmed. Baum made his answer in the court yesterday, claiming tc have nothing. He states his wife had property worth at least $25,0 ,000 and had owned it for many years, but she refused to assist him. He claims to be working at the store now on 6 salary and offered to turn that over to the receiver, but it was declined
 During the examination of the bank rupt Baum claimed he lost over $500 one night playing poker in his church with several other members. Baum
 is considerably restless and paces the floor of the third floor room in which he is confined, all during the day.

Late yesterday evening Enumera- tor J B. Higgins took the last name of the list of inhabitants of this city, but says he will hold the list open until tomorrow night, so that any per son whom he might have failed to enumerate would have an opportunity to be counted. He requests that any one having any knowledge or even suspicion of any roreon or family liv ing here whose names he has not se- cured will kindly report same to him at once Mir, Hipgins says he will not be offeneded if one should report name he has already enumerated, and will appreciate any suggestions along this line.
 The enu.nerayor is lot permitted to give ou, any iatmm~tion as 10 the result of the census, and the fig ures will probably net he known fol at least 50 days. Tn the meantime, many guesses are being registered as to the population of Conway, the esti- mate running all the way from 2,700 to 5000.

We don't buy Crackers in Car Load Lots

Shipment received direct from the bakeries almost daily keep our line of crackers and cakes as fresh as it is possible to get them. We never have a big stock only enough to supply our trade from day to day-and you can depend on it, they are always fresh, crisp and appetizing. It cuts our profit considerably to buy this way, but the satisfaction to our customers is worth the difference.
 Among the delicacies we carry are: Fig Newtons, Vanilla Waters, Lemon Snaps, Perfettos, Salted Crackers, Sweet Crackers, Saratoga Flakes, Takhoma Biscuits-all sealed in air tight, moisture and dust-proof pack ages.

POULTRY NOTES.

All poultry that are not pure-bred
are not scrubs.
Generally a hen with nice, clean,
cut head and a full, bright eye will
be good layer.
Cleanliness in every part of the
poultry-house is of the utmost impor-
tance with fowls in confinement.
It is we'll to consider what Is the
best treatment for the fowls while
they are passing through the molt.
Generally when the comb Of a fowl
is bright colored, showing it to be
full of blood, the fowl is in healthy
condition and usually active.
Some farmers allow the young stock
to roost outdoors during the summer,
and it is important that such birds
be at once placed in their winter quar-
ters.
1t is as difficult to name the best
breed of fowls as It Is to name the
best breed Of hogs or sheep, or the
best make of corn planter or cream
separator.
Cornmeal mixed with skim-milk,
and fed three times a day, all the
fowls will eat, is the best fattening
diet I have ever tried. Feed warm in
cold weather
Ducks should not be allowed to run
with the hens during molting, so that
as the number of hens not molting
decreases they should be confined
with the cocks
Do not allow inferior cabbage. pota-
toes and beets to freeze; store them
for the hens. The time Is near when
they will need such feeds as add sue
culence to the ration.
A good coating OF whitewash on the
inside of each house will help consid-
erably in getting rid Of vermin. Take
several inches of dirt out Of the house
and replace with new, clean earth.
Hens will do well on almost any
kind of feed II they have enough Of 1t;
but they certainly cannot make eggs
unless they are supplied with certain
necessary elements for egg-making.
Meat scraps put up especially for
the hens may be had in almost any
market, and 1t Is a very necessary
egg-producing feed at this time.
Crushed oyster shells are needed.

Holding Up Milk.

We know Of no instrument that will
induce the cow to give down her milk.
says Hoard's Dairyman. The holding
up of milk Is invariably due to some
condition Of the animal. Sometimes It
it's done when the calf Is first taken
away, and at other times through dis
turbance caused by Ill treatment or
strange conditions.
Kindness will usually overcome this
act of the COW, especially feeding her
grain at the time Of milking, making
her forget the things that are disturb
ing her and causing her to hold up
her milk.

details of their construction are kept
a dead secret
Serious danger is escaping petrol,
which may lead to an explosion. By
the regulations the engine must be
stopped as soon as an escape is no
uced, bad accident being caused a
year ago by neglect of this precau-
ton. Two engineers employed at
Portsmouth have invented an ap-
paratus that registers the escape of
petrol or other gas, coming into &C
ton long before sufficient can have
escaped to form an explosive mixture
By an ingenious contrivance a red
light is substituted for a white one
and bell is rung when there is a
leakage of gas.
Sometimes sea water will pene-
trate into the accumulators, very
serious danger, as chlorine is thereby
evolved which may suffocate the
crew. A safety helmet, somewhat re-
sembling those worn in mining ex-
plosions, has been designed by a
couple of naval officers. Attached to
a water-tight canvas jacket that
straps round the waist is a big he'll
met with a glass front, not unlike
that of the ordinary diver.
Just below the front of this is a
magazine containing a special sub
stance called "oxylithe," which has
the power of giving off oxygen and
absorbing the carbonic acid in the air
when it comes in contact with water.
In this manner the wearer of the
helmet has always a good supply of
air to breathe, so that in case of the
evolution of chloride the crew would

hastily don these Jackets, which are
kept in all submarines.
They have still another use, for, be
ing full of air, they serve as life
buoys. Thus, in the event Of a sub
marine being struck by a passing
ship and holed, these dresses would
be put on at once. Then the hatch
could be opened, and the men would
float to the surface.
Air always seeks the highest point,
and as soon as a submarine leaks the
water fills the bottom and pushes the
air to the top, where certain guam
tity is always held In any odd little
corner near the roof. Therefore, thin
steel partitions, depending a foot or
two from the roof in places where 1t
slopes or forms corners, are being
fitted in order to form air traps in
different parts of the interior.
Thus, when a bad leak occurs.
filling the submarine with water,
the air is pressed into these
traps. The crew Immediately seize
their helmets and stand with heads
and shoulders above the water in the
air traps, so that they can breathe
while putting on the safety dress
Another invention that has been
tried in one or two of the underwater
craft consists of long flexible tube
attached to the outside. At one end
is float, while the other communi-
Gates with the interior In the event
of an accident this tube Is liberated,
and is at once borne to the surface
by the float, to which is attached a
flare, to give notice to any ship near
at hand. Until the submarine is
raised, the crew can breathe through
this tube, or food might even be
passed down.
At least one American vessel is
fitted with door through which the
crew can escape II necessary. This
door opens into a chamber, which in
it's turn communicates with an air
lock. If 1t is desired to leave the sub
marine, diving dress is donned and
the air lock entered. The door COM
municating with the interior of the
vessel is closed, and then the diver
goes into the outer compartment,
closing the door of the air lock after
him. Water is then allowed to enter,
and when it is full he merely opens
the door and steps out. The door is
then closed and the water pumped
out again, so that others can follow.

INTERESTING TALKS ON THING
Great Loss of Water From Irrigating
bitches Through seepage May Be
Entirely Obviated.

The great loss of water from irri-
eating bitches through seepage and
evaporation may be entirely obviated
by the use of vitrified, salt-glazed pipe.
From bitches too large to be piped
from source Of supply to the distri-
buting points large amount of seep-
age Is unavoidable and drainage is
therefore the only remedy, writes c.
D. Butchart in Field and Stream. The
proper method of removing excessive
alkali is by a system of pipe under
drains, which lowers the line of water
in the soil, prevents the alkali reach
ing the surface and induces the wash
ing of the alkali into the drains dur
ing the irrigating season. Flooding
alkali lands Is useless without under
drains to carry off the dissolved
alkali, as the salts instantly soak
down into the ground with the water.
Shallow drains, to 31a feet deep,
are generally useless as they do not
dry the soil sufficiently for profitable
cultivation or prevent the alkal1 rising
to the surface. To be most effective,
a drain should be from to Z feet
deep, but the idea that depth will
make up for number of drains is
wrong. Sandy soils require only a
few deep drains, but clay and alkali
lands cannot be too thoroughly or
rapidly drained as the stagnant water
may injure the land If allowed to re-
main
The cheapest and generally most
efficient method of draining consists
in laying pipe lines across the slope
of the land to point where COM
mon outlet can be obtained. To Sc
cure this outlet it Is often necessary
for several farmers to cooperate in
the construction of drains. The main
drain should be located first. A drain
should also be laid at the base of the
irrigating ditch to intercept the seep-
age. The laterals or cross drains
should be located where saturation
appears.
Y-junctions should be used for con.
Meeting laterals with the mains and
sharp turns should be avoided. Lo-
eating drains too far apart means
failure of the drainage. The greater
the fall the smaller the drain need
be, but the general cause of failure
is the insufficient size of the drain.
Laterals smaller than six inches are
not recommended The less the fall
the larger the drain must be. Ample
provision should be made at the out
let for the discharge Of all the
laterals.
Drains should never run full. There
should be an air space at the top, as
it aids in destroying the capillary
connection between water and soil
and also draws the water toward the
drain. Drains should have a regular,
even fall as a single piece Of pipe
poorly laid may cause failure OF the
entire drain. Begin work at the low
est end or outlet, lay the pipe with
the sockets up grade and as close to-
gether as possible for with all care
there will be sufficient space for the
inlet of water. Place a coarse screen
over the outlet to prevent the en-
