Faulkner County Bank
 The Bank On the Corner
WILL ESTABLISH
 BROOM FACTORY

J. Haydon and J. S. Munns of thiss city have formed . partnership for the purpose of establishing broom factory of considerable capacity in this city and expect to begin opera tions within a few weeks. The ma chinery for a factory capable of man. ufacturing 40 dozen brooms day has been ordered and when installed will be driven by electric motors. A loca- tion for the industry has not yet been secured, but will be within few days.
 In order to encourage the growth of broom corn in the county, the two gen tlemen have secured a quantity of seed sufficient to plant 800 acres, which they will give free to any farm CT who will apply for them. Broom corn is regarded as very profitable crop, as 1t requires practically no cul- tivation after it~is planted. The pres ent market price of the corn is about $50 per ton, and it has varied in re- cent years from $45 to s1S0 per ton. MT. Munns states that the quantity produced depends largely upon the soil, and ordinary land that will pro- duse one bale of cotton to the acre will grow about 400 pounds of broom corn. Light sandy soil, he states, will produce the best grade of the straw.

FIRE THREATENS
 DUM'S BAKERY

The discovery by Hayes Nichols, the railway station ianitor, while on his way to the postofice last night about 10:30 with the mail sacks from the night train, of an incipient blaze in Caspar Dum's bakery, in the pro- verbal mick of time," doubtless pre- vented a disastrous blaze in the busi- ness section of Conway. Nichols inn mediately gave the alarm and in a was forthcoming from all sections of the city. Ralph White and T. J. Mur- phy, who were at the time standing up the street just north of where the fire was in progress, hastened to the scene, and upon hurried investiga- tion the blaze could easily be seen from the outside. Mr. White tried the door, but finding it locked, picked up an empty coca cola box and threw it through the glass door which made an entrance sufficiently large for the Lighters to enter.
 The fire had already consumed a desk in the corner an dthe blaze was running high toward the ceiling. The fire was soon eXtinguished, however, but had it remained unobserved few minutes longer great damage would have been the result. The origin of the blaze is unknown, and it is thought to have been either from a rat gnawing a match or a lighted cigar stub.
 MT. and Mrs. Dunn were out of the city at the time of the fire, having left yesterday morning to attend the Dehmer-Darschied wedding at Little Rock.

CLARKSYILLE- CONWAY
 GAME ON HERE TODAY

The Clarksville-C Conway game post poned from yesterday on account of rain is being played at Hendrix park this afternoon with large number of fans present. Hendrix and Nor nal decided to postpone their game scheduled for today to some future time in order to let the high school boys play, as Coach Downing had al ready gone to expense of getting the team here. Both Clarksville and Con- way have won all the games they have played this season and the out come of today's contest is considered doubtful.

 BEING AWARE OF IT

W. G. Gordon of Lollie took the oath of office as justice of the peace of Ben- edict township before County Clerk J. H. Bailey this morning. Mir. Cor don told the Log Cabin Democrat his rather novel experience in being chosen to fill an official position, while securing a supply of legal blanks. The office in Benedict township became va cant through the removal of Robert Smith, and Mrs. Gordon's. friends cir culated a petition asking the gover- nor to appoint him and keep the mat ter an entire secret from Mir. Cor don. The first he knew of the ap- pointment was yesterday, when the postmaster at Lollie handed him his commission.

The southerner and Corn.

The southerner feeds himself. his pigs
and lis progeny upon corn. He slept
In his froniiersman's cabin upon a mat
tress made of the husks. Today he
contributes some of its pith to the
manufacture of gun cotton with which
to blow the enemy to Beelzebub and
some more of it to the manufacture of
celiulose to pack behind the armor Of
his country's battleships. to prevent
them from sinking when projectiles
pierce their plates. He plants corn as
early in the springtime as the season
will permit and gets up at dawn to 60
into the fields and tickle its spreadir :
roots with double shovel pillow. IL
midwinter he smokes his corncob pipe
before corncob fire. Looking into a
bed of glowing embers through blue
haze of the smoke OF incense burned
to Mondamin, he returns thanks for
the cornmeal In the cupboard and
dreams happily Of the "ros'n ear" Of
the golden summer to come. His ap-
probation OF the value OF Indian corn
Is high. His affection for 1t in its vari-

FALLING BODIES.
Their Velocity Varies According to the
Force of Gravity.

nelr Veioclty varies according 10 tho
Force Of Gravity.
A man falling from a three story
building in New Orleans will not fall
as fast as he would if he were in New
York city. In fact. in hardly any two
places will he fall with the same
speed. This is because as re go to-
ward the equator the force of gravity
gets less and less, and consequently
the acceleration Of a falling body be-
comes less, aud the force of impact is
therefore less.
While it does not make very much
difference in the injury tC a person
falling from height. it does make a
difference in other things. Take a rifle
and FIRE il exactly horizontally. and II
the sun is sixteen feet above the
ground. say. 1T New York the ballet
fred from s'lch a rifle will strike the
ground in exactly one Second after il
leaves tie .ihe If the bullet he's a
horizontal velocity of l.G09 feet POI
second it will strike the earth exactly
1000 feet away. Let US take the 81 nae

York. but II COED deal smaller. say
two-thirds smaller. We find that IL
the gun is placed sixteen feet above
the ground as before. and absolutely

the cir during that length Of time.
Therefore it will strike the ground
about 1000 feet away. Thus it is seen
that the range of rife is increased
MS it is taken toward the equator.

SHORT CROP OF COW PEAS

PRICES ARE GOING UP.
The enormous demand for Gov
Peas last year carried the price yer.
high, and rs the crop is very shor
and the acreage is rapidly extending
there are many indications which
point TO much higher prices as ths
sowing season approaches.
WHIP-POOR WILLS COW PEAS
The Whip-poor-wills are generally
preferred in the Central and Southern
States. They are bush form. early
maturing and especially desirable for
Peas.
NEW ERA COW PEAS.
New Eras are a little earlier and
make more vine than the Whip-poor-
Wills.
WONDERFULS. CLAYS AND
MIXED COW PEAS.
For Hay. the Wonderfu]s or Mixed
Cow Peas are more productive, they
should be planted with an occasional
grain of Corn, Sorghum Seed, Kaffir
Corn, etc., which will prevent the vine
from getting damaged by coming in
contact with the ground.
BLACK COW PEAS.
Black Cow Peas are little later in
maturing than Clays, they make a
good growth of vine, are exceptionally
good for medium or poor land, and
Will stand almost any amount of wet
weather without Injury. We can also
supply Shlnney Peas, Red Rippers,
Blackeye Peas and Sofa Beans.
REMEMBER BOLGIANo'S Cow PEAS
ARE UNQUESTIONABLY THE BEST IF

SUPPLY YOU WITH BOLGIANO'S COW
