No Strangers Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general of the United States, takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve:
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to &c
into one of the railway mailservice
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic. he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find it an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi
cally elected him to the platform be
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask.
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
II mean to keep you out Of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. That
fellow Hitchcock has given us strict
orders to keep all strangers out OF
these cars Popular Magazine.

SAVE time IN KITCHEN
,YSTEMATlC DiSHWASHiNG DOES
AWAY WITH MUCH WORK.
Once a Day Should Be Sufficient In
the Average Family II Proper
Way of Doing the Work
Is Followed.

OF all the necessary things IN
housekeeping the one most disliked
by the average woman is dishwashing.
Times without number you hear
the housewives wall: IF it were not
for washing dishes l would not mind
the work"
Yet this need not be such dreaded
task II you will step aside from the
beaten path and wash the dishes only
once day.
Unless you have q large family who
require a quantity Of dishes at each
meal this is not only practicable. but
q big time-saver.
Have ready two good-sized dish
pans, and after each meal scrape all
scraps from the dishes to be washed,
empty all liquid from cups and glasses
and stack the dishes carefully in the
pans, putting the large plates in the
bottom and smaller ones on top.
In the second pan put all small
pieces, vegetable dishes and small
platters.
Stand the silver upright in jug or
pitcher and pour over all enough very
hot water, In which a good soap pow
der, or little washing soda has been
dissolved, to cover.
Now let the dishes stand in these
receptacles until the morning hours.
when work is easiest.
The hot water will grow cold. but
the grease from the dishes will be
floating on top and can be scooped off
first, then the water poured off.
This done. the dishes will be virtual
ly clean and ready to be rinsed in
steaming hot water.
After this, If you are wise house
keeper, you will have wire drainer

They are ready then for the next
meal. clean. bright and polished.
Glasses. Of course, and silver must
be dried on cloth.
Glasses should be quickly washed
and dried after each meal; but that Is
= small matter II all the other dishes
can be left until you are quite ready
TO do" them.
Try this method, We weary house
keepers, and find how soon it will be
regularly adopted, and you will not
lose a moments conscience-stricken

URGES FINANCIAL
AID TO SCHOOL
PROF. TORREYSON TALKS
SAYS CONWAY SHOULD ERECT
NEW BUILDING BY SUB
SCRIPTIONS.

Declaring that many of the rooms
IN the Conway public school were ov-
er-crowded by 80 per cent and that a
new high school building is an imper-
at-ve need of the district, Prof. B. w.
Iorreyson, in an address here last
night urged that the citizens respond
to the need and raise funds by public
subscription to erect new building
and pay off the present deficit of the
district.
The crowd which heard Prof. Tor
reyson was disappointingly small, but
those who attended were deeply i'm
pressed with his remarks. His speech
was preceded by short talk by Miss
Eva Reichardt of Little Rock, in
which the work of the school improve
ment associations in the state was
outlined
In beginning his address, Prof. Tor
reyson explained the new high school
aid law and pointed out the many
benefits that had already accrued
since its enactment. Referring to To-
cal conditions, he said the Conway
public school was in an unusual posi-
ton and had to care for a great many
more pupils than schools N towns of
similar population and wealth. Peo-
pie, he stated, move to Conway to senc'
their older children to college and
their young children to the public
school, naturally increasing the en-
rollment of the latter to large ex-
tent.
"You people must shoulder the bur-
den just as you did when you secured
the State Normal and the two other
colleges" said Prof. Torreyson. "You
must raise by popular subscriptions
a sufficient sum to erect a fine high
school building to relieve the conges-
ton in your present building, and you
should also wipe out the deficit now
existing in your districts finances"

MAYOR DUNCAN ON
new COMMISSION
ELECTED AS THIRD man
COMPLETES BOARD
TO OPERATE LIGHT AND
LIGHT PLANTS.

BY the unanimous election Of May
on W. H. Duncan as the one-year
member of the newly y-created light
and water commission, the city coun-
ell last night completed the organiza-
ton of this body into whose charge
will be given the operation of Con-
ways municipal plants. The ordi-
nance creating the commission was
passed at previous meeting and
Wellington Robbins and Frank E.
Robins were chosen as two of the
members, the council failing to elect
the third At last nights meeting
Mayor Duncan was the only member
put in nomination and his election
was unanimous. After the publica-
ton of the ordinance the new commits
sion will meet and organize and will
take over the operation of the light
plant from the present council COM
mittee. Under the provisions of the
ordinance the water system will also
be operated by the commission when
it is completed and accepted by the
council.
The special committee appointed to
audit the books of the city light plant
reported last night that they had
carefully audited the books and ac-
counts, item by item, and found them
correct. Superintendent E. V. Lev
erett was commended for the neat and
accurate manner in which he had been
keeping the books. The report of the
committee was adopted.
The Improvement committee recon-
mended that petition for an ordi-
nance ordering sidewalk on the west
side of Harrison street from Oak to
Willow streets be granted and the re-
port was adopted.
The regular monthly report of the
light plant committee was presented
and referred to the finance committee.
On a tie vote the council failed to

By vote of four to two the council
raised the salary of the city marshal
for the ensuing term from $40 to $50
per MONTH
j. H. Stubs requested the pay
ment by the city of an Indebtedness
of about 1000 for funds advanced to
the old light plant improvement board
five years ago, which was used in the
purchase of new machinery, and
which is secured by a chattel mort
gage on the large engine and dynamo
of the plant. A motion to pay half
of the amount due out of the treasury
now and the balance next year was
defeated, and motion then prevailed
that the amount be paid out of the
taxes received in 1913, after the claim
had been properly Investigated and
audited by the finance committee.
The council adjourned to meet
again Friday, April 5.
