THORNbURC IS
 AGAIN ELECTED ANTI-SALOON LEACUERS
HOLD INTERESTING MEETING CONFIDENT ARKANSAS
 WILL VOTE DRY.

Little Rock, April 12.-The annual meeting of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League concluded it's session Thurs day night with a stirring address by Cyclone" Davis of Texas. There were about 150 delegates in attend ance and the interest was intense. The following officers were elected:
 President, George Thornburgh (re- elected) !; vice-presidents, Willard D. Ball of Little Rock, A. A. Whissen of Little Rock and E. E. Petit of Stuttgart; secretary, B A. Few of Little Rock; treasurer, pr. S. A. Scott of Little Rock; members at large, Ben Cox, J H. Estes, J. S. Edenburn, J. A. Anderson, c. R. Powell, M. P. Matheny, c. E. Ora per, Robert l.. Selle, Little Rock; A. C. Mlllar, Conway; T. c. White, Pine Bluff.
 The convention declined to take any action with reference to the grand father clause, which the negroes are opposing. The negroes asked the league to go on record against it, with the understanding that they would support statewide prohibition.
 The convention acted favorably up- on the following recommendations by Superintendent Barrett:
 That the state be divided into five districts with district superintend- ent in charge of each.
 That campaign button or badge be adopted, also an official seal for the use of the league.
 That one Sunday in the near future h.,e exnt x.t l observed in all the churches.
 The superintendent reported that already enough names had been filed to initiate the law, but that it is pro posed to secure 50,000 if possible. "A careful survey of the field,' says Dr. Barrett, warrants the statement that the day of our opportunity has at last come to make Arkansas a dry state. Our forces are better organ lzed than ever before and our re- sources are at our command now which have not heretofore been avail able"

CITY STOCK LAW
 TO BE REPEALED?

Although no foundation for the re- pert could be obtained, it is being ru- mored on the streets that an effort will be made in the new city council to repeal the city stock law, or at least modify it to permit cows to run at large during certain times. Mayor Duncan said today, however, that he was not aware of any movement to re- peal or change the present ordinance prohibiting all stock from running at large throughout the year. This ord- nance has been in force for the past five years.

1t is granted that all fires are the
same size when they start, but be,
tween the time of discovery of the fire
and the arrival of the fire fighters,
some minutes must elapse. That par
ticular time is the vital time in the
life of the fire, the time when it gains
sufficient foothold to become a dan
gerOus blaze.
EVERY FIRE is THE PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OCCU-
PANT OF THE BUILDING FOR THE
FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF ITS
LIFE.
A simple method of giving thealarm
should be devised.
The condition Of unpreparedness is
prevalent throughout the country. 1t
may exist in your office this minute.
The question you must inevitably ask
yourself is this, Are you prepared to
fight a small fire by any means what
soever?' Your responsibility is
greatest during the first five minutes.
This condition exists in over 50 per
cent. of homes and other buildings.
Prepare yourself by the DEMO sys-
tenn.
