Plans Are Changed.

1t had been the original intention to
have Senator Bacon Of Georgia, Maj.
Butts native state, deliver an address on
his home life, and when the invitation
was rendered it became known that Sem
ator Bacons colleague. Senator Hoke
Smith, who also was an intimate friend of
Maj. Butt, was the first one to employ
him In the newspaper business and that
during Senator Smiths term as Secretary
of the Interior Maj. Butt was the Wash
ington representative Of the Atlanta Jour-
nal, Senator Smiths paper. Senator
Smith, therefore, will deliver an address
instead Of Senator Bacon, and his topic
will probably include Maj Butts career
as a newspaper man.
The Society Of Colonial Wars last night
held special meeting at which resolu-
items OF respect were adopted on the
death OF Maj. Butt, who was q member
Of the society. In the resolution Maj.
Butts conduct as he faced death on the
deck OF the sinking liner was described as
worthy Of a man and a gentleman
his manly, upright character he made
himself loved when living. and by his
courage and sacrifice when facing death
he made his memory revered by his fell
low members and those who were privi-
legged to know him."
The resolution was signed by Brig.
Gen. Joseph Prentiss Sanger, U. 8. A.:
Commodore Richard Graham Davenport,
u. 8. N; Justice Job Barnard, District
Supreme Court: William Baker Thomp-
son, Rev. Roland Cotton Smith, L. e.

J. Burr Johnson, its secretary.

ALL READY FOR
 NOVEMBER 9TH MUCH ACTIVITY IN STATE WILL BE LONGEST ELECTORAL TICKET EVER VOTED IN
 ARKANSAS.
(BY CLIO HARPER

Little Rock, Oct. 24-All is in readiness for the November election in Arkansas-elections are more a habit than an event in this state. The tickets are all complete, and the vot- CTS of Arkansas will have their choice among five parties for the presidency. The minority parties, however, will not attempt to elect members of con- gress, and even the Republicans have only five nominees in the seven dis triets.
 1t is the longest electoral ticket ev- CT voted in Arkansas, there being a total of 29 names from which to se- lect.
 There has been considerable ante election activity in the state. The newspapers have been pushing the Dollar Campaign Fund with commen- dable zeal and have collected about $4,000 in that manner. A finance com mittee, of which State Treasurer J. w. Crockett is chairman, and the Wood row Wilson College Mems Club have been very busy and have gotten to- gether about $5,000 to aid the Wilson Marshall cause. The amount so far contributed, however, is less than 10 cents for each Democratic voter of the state, which is considered very small when the prospects for success are the most brilliant in the history of the party.
 One feature of the campaign is the part that has been taken in it by the women, presaging the time when, and they believe it not far distant, when they will have the right of suffrage here in Arkansas, and actually par sfiripate in the election of the presi- dent. h Woodrow Wilson Woman's League has been organized here with Mrs. J. E.. Martineau, wife of Chan cellor Martineau, as president, and Mrs. Earle w. Hodges, wife of the secretary of state, as vice president. They declare that their purpose is not to fight for suffrage, but for the sue cess of Governor Wilson. The women admirers of Theodore Roosevelt some faceteous person has dubbed them, the Moosettes-have organized under the leadership of Mrs. Jean Rutlinger, declaring that they favor him because he is so outspoken for equal suffrage The Republican lad ies alone have taken no positive stand in the campaign. Aside from these, the Political Equality League is ac- lively spreading it's propaganda, all though it has refrained from attach ing itself to any political organiza- tion.
 There is not a great deal of spell binding in the State-only enough to keep the interest alive, as 1t is well known that Arkansas will continue to go Democratic until the Mississippi begins to run uphill and Chicago be-

Fifteen years later Bismarch discovered that his country was still technically at war with this miniature state, and in strict accordance with the etiquette of such things pourpar lers took place and a formal treaty ot peace was signed between the two countries.

Frauenthal & Schwarz have met the demand in Conway for high-class furniture. =,
 As our town has grown steadily from small village to city of met ropolitan proportions, these progres-. sive merchants have kept abreast ot the times. Handsome homes have been erected on sites formerly occup- pied by cottages, and the demand for a better grade of furniture has stead ily increased.

BIG INTEREST IN
 SATURDAYS GAME
From Mondays Daily.

rTOrn INOfluay 5 DhAS'
 Coach T. s. Staples this morning received a message from the manager of Christian Brothers College foot ball team of Memphis, announcing their acceptance of Hendrix Colleges s challenge to play here Saturday. Much interest is being shown among the students of the different institu- tions of the city, as well as the busi- ness men, who are readily slgnlng their name to the guarantee list, over the outcome of the game. Coach Sta ples will put in all the time possible between now and Saturday coaching the Bull Dogs," and it is believed that one of the best games ever play ed on the local gridiron will be pulled off when Hendrix and Christian Brothers clash Saturday. The larg- est crowd ever seen at a football game here will witness the game. Hendrix, Central, Normal and the high school will turn out en masse, according to Prof. w. w. Parker, who has that phase of the arrangements in charge In order that the Hendrix team may see the game this afternoon between the Normal and Medicas, and lose nc time from practice, practice was be- gun at ? o'clock. Christian Brothers will leave Memphis at ' o'clock Satur- day morning and arrive in Conway at 2:43, and the game will be played at 3:3O. The admission will be 90 cents

4 CONWAY INDUSTRY
 WORKING FULL TIME
CENTRAL BROOM COMPANY ON ROAD TO FINANCIAL
 SUCCESS.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
 The Central Broom Manufacturing Company is an infant industry for Conway, but so successful has it been in getting it's products in the market that it is rapidly coming to the front. The company has already a statewide reputation as high-class manufactur- CTS, and they are now reaching out for the big dealers and the wholesale trade. Butler Bros., who have great establishments in New York City, Chicago, St. Louis and Dallas, Tex, have recently placed an order with them for a carload of brooms for inn mediate delivery. They are also in cor respondence with several other large wholesale concerns. Their capacity is 50 dozen brooms per day, 300 dozen per week, or 1,200 dozen per month. The average price per dozen is $3.50, which places their monthly output at I$4 4,200.
 This company says Conway is over looking an opportunity in not urging the Board of Trade to encourage such a growing industry; also in not striv- ing to eecure other manufacturing en- terprises. The Central Broom Manu- featuring Company has been solicited by the boards of trade of both Little Rock and Fort Smith, with good in- ducements offered to move to their city, but we trust that no change will be made, as( Conway needs not only this industry but many more of like enterprise.

I.F t-F'f1.77 F1tlfffts5-r RUSSlA'S REAL YELLOW PERIL
Drifting Sands Make Desert of 1,ooC Acres of Fertile Farm Lands
 Every Year.

"The great enemy comes from the east. Our yellow peril does not ap. pear in human shape. It comes in 8 much more dangerous and insinuating form than Mongol invasion. Slowly but surely it is advancing upon us and it's vanguard has already reached the gates of Kieff."
 Thus spoke some years ago, Vladi- mir Solovitch, the well-known Russian scientist, who foresaw the danger to Russian agriculture of the drifting masses of sand which are being stead fly blown across some of the most fertile parts of Southern Russia.
 The urgent nature of the danger Is once more emphasized by General Mistchenko, the commander-in-chief of the Don Cossacks, who has made a report to the St Petersburg govern ment in which he points out that every year 1000 square miles of fertile land in the Don Province and 1,500 square miles in the government of Astrakhan are being swallowed up by the invader and rendered, unfit for cultivation.
 During the past year. the drifting masses have done the greatest damage within living memory. One large agri- cultural colony in the Don region has had to emigrate in a westward direc- tion for the fourth time in fifty years General Mistchenko urgently advo- cates afforestation as the only way to stem the spread of the sand plague. The cost, it is figured. would only amount to a fraction of the $750,000 which is now lost every year to Rus sian agriculture.-New York Sun.

WEBB 10 RESIGN
 NOVEMBER IS7
From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily
 Realizing that on account of no pro- vision being made by the quorum court for continuance of the demon stration work in this county, it would be a waste of time to serve through the month of November this year, Demonstration Agent s. B. Webb stated today he would probably ten der his resignation, effective Novem- Der 1. Although he had not expected to make application for re-appoint- ment, Mr. Webb says he keenly re- grets the fact that the demonstration work is to be abandoned in Faulkner county, and hopes some arrangement can yet be made for it's continuance. MT. Webb began work here December 1, 1911, and his years service will not expire for another month, but he thinks it would be useless expendi- ture of money to continue work an ad- ditional month, inasmuch as it is to stop another year, anyway. He has two or three positions in view, but will probably continue to make his home in Conway.

Food for Reflection.

In Los Angeles the other day a shop. girl was hurrying to her work when her hat blew off and an automobile ran over it. She got permission from her employer to go back, and on the way met three men, one of whom was carrying the wrecked hat. As he re, turned it he gave the girl S20 bill, The other men "chipped in s1J apiece. Thereupon the girl went at once and bought a $50 hat I've al. ways wanted one like that" she said, with smile, but I never dreamed should have one" There are several aspects of the incident that are worth thinking about.

BECAME A DISGRACE TO KIN
Scotch CoIIies Reverted to Wild State When Imported Into Patagonia
 and Argentina.

Some years ago the shepherds of Patagonia and Argentina imported . large number of Scotch collies into those countries to help herd the sheep. But imagination seemed to spoil the companionable, affectionate and intel ligent dog from the Highlands. In two or three years his entire nature changed and he became independent, snappish, sly and disobedient. Bad treatment may have had something to do with it, but by twos and threes the collies rapidly deserted the flocks and took to the woods, where they soon became wild dogs.
 They have increased so fast and become so fierce in both countries that not only do they carry off small animals and fowls, but have grown so bold that they do not hesitate to attack travellers even in broad day light They travel in packs, and when hunted scatter to hiding places in the rocks. The Patagonian and Ar genuine governments have offered bounties for every wild dogs brush, and while the war of extermination may deplete both national treasuries the only effect it has had on the col lies has been to make them keep to cover during the day. Every shep- herd goes armed and keeps constant lookout, but shooting has not de creased their numbers, and poison has been tried without success, as they are too shrewd to eat anything set for them.
