RANEY'S CHANCE FOR
 PRESIDENCY GOOD
Interesting Contest Being Waged Preliminary to Organiza-
 ton of Legislature

Little Rock, Dec. 16.-With the 38th General Assembly only four weeks away, Legislative poli- tics is beginning to assume an ir- teresting aspect. At the present time there appears to be fewer as- pirants for clerical positions than usual, probably for the reason that the session can be for only 75 days, and that 1t is we'll known there will be more of a spirit of economy and retrenchment than has prevailed heretofore.
 Naturally the interest centers in the contests for the Presidency of the Senate and the speakership of the House, and the hotel Hobbies bear evidence of the fact the sup porters of the various candidates are getting busy thus far in ad- vance.
 For the Presidency, there are three aspirants, w. K. Oldham, of Lonoke, the Robinson candidate. A. C. Martin of Faulkner and T. J. Raney of Newark. At least two of these, Raney and Martin, claim 
 they have something like fifteen pledges, while Oldham is claiming that he holds the balance of pow CT. It IS certain that in neither race, especially for President, has any one candidate a majority. Who will profit by the released pledges when one of the three in each race withdraws is the con- lecture which makes both uncer- tain. The friends of A. C. Martin say that his election Is certain, but the friends of Raney and Oldham are none the less confident, and at 1 this time the outlook rather indi.. cates Raney's election.

ASKS REPORT FROM
 SUNDAY SCHOOLS
County President Urges Various Schools to Report Conditions
 to County Secretary

This week, wish to call atten- ton to few matters that are of vital importance to the Sunday school interests of our county, and will defer the luther discussion of The Successful Sunday School until a later date.
 In a letter recently received from H. E. Lufkin, general secre- tary of the Arkansas Sunday School Association, MT. Lufkin speaks of our county as one of the few working counties of the state, and states that the officers of our state association are looking to these working counties to estab- fish record that the workers may hold up before other counties as an incentive to greater endeavor. Continuing, Mir. Lufkin says: We are anxious that your county shall secure report from each individ- ual school, as we'll as an offering to the county and state work. We believe that this is one of the best ways to bring the schools into the right relationship with our work. '"
 1 very heartily endorse this opinion, and hope that the work CTS in the various schools of the county will cooperate with the officers of our county association in carrying out the work here sug- gested.
 We have reports for the past year from the following schools:
 Charlotte, New Hope, Batesville First Methodist, St. Paul's, Bates vile First Christian, Bethesda, Walnut Grove, Moorefield, Bates vile Central Avenue, Flat Rock, Mt. Zion, Newark Methodist, AL derbrok, Salado Methodist, Sul- phur Rock Methodist, Black River, Oak Ridge and Hopewell.
 Look over this list carefully and if your school is not in the list, write our county secretary, Mrs. J. B. Stewart, Newark, giving the following information.
 Name of!school, name and ad- dress of pastor, superintendent and secretary, denomination, num- Der of months school is held dur ing the year, enrolment and aver age attendance.
 We are expected to pay $100 toward defraying the expenses of the state Association and it will require at least $25 to pay for pro- grams, postage and etc., in connec-

 THE SENTENCE OF SILENCE By Reginald Wright Kaufman Moffat Yard X Company, Now York. For several years the reading public has been much interested in the stories of Reginald Wright Kaufman, concerning sociological conditions in the great cities and throughout the country. "The House of Bondage and 'fhe l Girl That Goes Wrong.- both novels from his pen, have been widely read, and his present book, ''rhe Sentence of Silence. bids fair to give as much information to | his readers as the two previous books I on subjects which few authors essay te expound.
 | It is serious problem to write of such things as MT. Kaufman writes about for | eoarseness is so closely akin to all suei conditions that to set oown facts in colo | type takes an artists hand but it must be conceded that MT. Kaufman does il
 better probably than anyone else could. 1 Iu the present story the sentence whcf 1 is imposed upon the hero is that of wei I meaning parents, who strive to bring UT I their offspring in ignorance pertaining te sex on the assumption that ignorance Is | innocence.
 l In "The Sentence of Silence Daniel Barnes is subjected to many dreadful ex- | periences and his seduction. adultery, em- l bezzlement, forgery and other major sins make up a category for which some one l else should be blamed besides his par 1 ents, who were after all nothing more ol less than simple minded country people. l It seems rather odd in this up-to-date | hour, that any boy or girl should be ig-
 norant of things that in former years children of their age never were knowr l to be cognizant of until they were nearing the grown up age.

MOLLY MDONALD..

"A TALE OF THE OLD FRONTIER. .''
 By Randall Parrish. A. c. Mcclurg &s
 Company. Chicago.
 Mr Randall Parrish has written several romantic novels of the far west. and he has made for himself clientele that is worthy of his talent and gifted pen, but he has never before written story so full of fire and stirring times and dash and vigor as Molly McDonald.' the latest novel from his wonderful imaginative brain.
 There is color and contrast. hair breadth escapes and hostile Indians. and General Custer and General Sherman. and detailed accounts of brilliant engagements bv these noted heroes. that give the book a decidedly unique tone and romantic spirit that the reader will enjoy to the utmost.
 Molly Mcdonald. the heroine, the daughter of Major Mcdonald. is on her way to join her father at military post somewhere near Fort Dodge.
 The time is the latter sixties. and the opening chapters have to do with the Sante Fe trail with Indians on the war path.
 The love story that Is so charmingly interwoven has for its hero brave young sergeant, who adores Molly and who Is willing at all times to live or die for her. as the occasion may demand-to dash through the snows or over a trail with dis matches and messages, or do anything that a brave soldier might be called upon to do.
 If is pretty story, and Mir. Parrish has told it delightfully."-. and you will miss q great treat if you don't read "Molly Me Donald"
