NOTES OF THE CONVENTION.

All of the delegates are loud in their praise of the manner in which Conway is caring for the big crowd.
 The profuse decorations in bunt- ings, pennants and flags in the Wood man and Circle colors are attracting much favorable comment.

Judge Stuckey will return to Conway March 26 to at tend the Odd Fellows anniversary celebration here and will be accom- panied by Grand Secretary John P. Paul.
 More seats had to be provided in the court room this afternoon, the number of delegates being considera- bly, larger than was expected.
 The Grand is running special moving picture matinee for the visit ors this afternoon.
 The Baptist ladies are enjoying a fine patronage at their lunch rooms adjoining the convention headquart- CTS.

BUY AT HOME.

One of the most notable facts con- nected with a country newspaper of today is the large increase in the amount of advertising of local bus- ness houses. The change has taken place gradually and has been marked especially during the past year or so. It is highly significant, and an inquiry as to the cause of it is of great profit, not only to those in the newspaper business, but to every business man and citizen of our town as well. The change in brief, means that local merchants have found it necessary to call attention to their goods because of immense competition they face the most deadly element of which is that from the great stores of the large cities. These great establish ments advertise their wares most lav
 ishly, and the metropolitan newspa- pers which contain their advertise ments are distributed over the coun- try, some one paper of which enters nearly every home. (The result is that these metropolitan establishments have built an immense mail trade. In our town, and indeed in most of the towns hereabouts, ther is no oc- casion for this out town buying. The duty of citizens in the matter is plain, and where other things are equal support should be given local dealers. Our merchants have invest ed their capital, have erected build ings which are the pride of the city, and have established concerns which are almost metropolitan in character They have built up our little city, and it is only fair return that they have the city's trade, to turn trade otherwise, even in the line of small

GAMES FOR HIGH
 SCHOOL ARRANGED

With five out-of- town games al ready arranged and an equal number of return games expected to be given at home, the Conway high school base ball team has begun active prepara- tions for the season. The boys have raised fund among their friends with which to purchase uniforms and an order for 10 suits was sent off yes terday. Prof. Martin Downing, the erstwhile crack pitcher for the Nor mai team, now a teacher in the high school, is coaching the team, and has fired the lads with an ambition to pull down the state secondary champion ship flag this year. About five posi- tions on the team are practically cinched by last years players, but there is a hot contest on in the squad for the other places. Grady Charles has been elected manager of the boys and the captain has not yet been se- lected
 The out-of-town games are with At kins, Clarksville, Russellville and Lit tie Rock college. While the schedule is pretty full for high school, one or two other games will probably be arranged.

Strong Gas Flow.

OREGON CITY, April 5.-The oil
we'll at Stone, five miles southeast OF
this city, has been drilled 1850 feet
deep. The drill is now in limerick
formation, having Just passed through
black oil-bearing sand. The drillers
say they have never seen better indi-
cations for a profitable production
Both oil and gas were found at depth
of 500 feet, and again about 125 feet
lower. But the present flow of gas
and oil-struck when in the oil
bearing sand on top of the present
limerick formation-is the best yet
found. When in this oil-bearing sand
Saturday a strong flow Of gas was
struck The gas came up through
the water in the well with enough
pressure to force oil out at the top OF
the well. The gas forced its way
through 500 feet of water and would
burn several inches above the casing.
After experimenting with the gas the
drill was again started downward, but
80 feet further down the same gas
flow was found.
