SEEK PLANS FOR
Martin MEMORIAL
TO BE BUILT AT HENDRIX
INSPECTION OF BIG UNIVERSE
TIES IN NORTH AND EAST
BEING MADE.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
President A. c.. Millar of Hendrix
College and Prof. G. H. Burr OF the
same institution are travelling IN the
north and east inspecting the plans
of the great university and college
buildings in that part of the country
for the purpose Of procuring the best
possible plans for the erection OF the
Martin Memorial buildings. These
buildings are to be erected on the
Hendrix College campus. 1t is the IN
tention of the board of trustees TO
erect only one building at time, the
funds for which will be raised by pop
ular subscription. A general plan for
the erection of all the buildings Will
be followed so that at the completion
of the last the group will present a
harmonious whole.
A group of four buildings, to cost
in the aggregate about S10O,Ooo, was
planned by the board OF trustees OF
Hendrix College as memorial 10
Capt. w. w Martin, chief bene1ac-
tor and for many years president OF
the board. This decision was reach
ed by the trustees at their meeting
last March. In his annual report TO
the board, President Millar suggested
that a $4,000 science hall be erected
and dedicated to the memory OF Capt.
Martin, and the board, while adopting
the suggestion, thought best to plan
a more comprehensive memorial, ana
proposed the erection of a group OF
four buildings of uniform and appro-
pirate architecture. These buildings
will include a science hall, library,
gymnasium and dormitory. The
science hall will be built first, the 9TH
er buildings to follow in the order
named. A committee of the board
was appointed to lay more definite
plans for the buildings.

Department of Agriculture standards.
At the morning session reports
were rendered by Secretary Treasur-
er J. B. Paine and F. w. Broadnax,

reported working in harmony.
A resolution was adopted by the
members Of the union asking that the

the taxes for the support of the state
agricultural schools.
The plant of the Rural Educator at
Russellville was taken over by the un-
ion to become the official organ of the
organization. Resolutions were adopt
ed pledging cooperation with county
fairs and livestock shows.
Comprehensive resolutions were
adopted urging diversification of
crops, intensified cultivation, urging
the farmers to pay close attention to
the political situation and give the ed
ucation of their children more consid-
GRAFTON than heretofore.
The splendid entertainment pro-
gram arranged by the people Of Mon
ticello continued this afternoon with a
reception to the delegates. The Mon
ticello Chamber of Commerce tonight
gave barbecue banquet on the court
house lawn, after which the delegates
went into night session, to continue
until all reports have been received
and all other business disposed of,

FINANCE COMMITTEES REPORT.
To the Mayor and City Council:
On Monday, August II, we checked
up the books, ETC., of the superintend-
ent of the light plant and found the
condition of the plant financially as
shown by the report of the superin-I
tendtn to this body. The revenue for
the past four months averages nearly
100000 per month as compared with
an average of about 5000 per month
last year, and think that Supt. Lev
erett should be congratulated on the
good showing made. Respectfully,

DEMOCRATS Will
BE VICTORIOUS
CENTRAL COM. ADDRESS
REPUBLICAN PARTY is DIVID-
ED AGAINST ITSELF-ITS
DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

|
To the Democracy of Arkansas:
The Democratic party in Arkansas
begins the campaign of 1912 with an
abiding faith in the soundness of its
principles and the integrity of its
nominees. Not a dissenting voice can
be heard in the ranks; all discord has
been banished and, in solid phalanX,
the Democratic hosts are moving to-
wards the greatest conquest in the
history Of our state.
The Republican party, the old ene-
my Of government by the people, is
divided against itself. Its days are
numbered; the handwriting is seen
upon the wall, and triumphant sue
cess is assured to the people in the
certain Democratic victories in the
approaching state and national cleo
tions. The Republican forces are al
ready routed. They are fleeing from
the field in abject horror, some seek
l. ing refuge with the old machine
which now belongs to Taft; others
finding no solace there, are won't to
follow Roosevelt, that modern Caesar,
in the formation of one-man party.
The Democracy, the party of all the
people, is undivided, and no cry of
"stop, thief is heard in our midst.
Our nominees, both state and ma
tional, are men of unquestioned abil-
| ity, undoubted personal and official
honesty, and are imbued with the in
born principles of Jeffersonian Dem
ocracy, the very foundation upon
which this government rests. Their
election is already beyond doubt. The
size OF their majorities in Arkansas
must be record-breakers. An over
wheIn1ing Democratic victory in the
state election, to be held on Septem-
Der 8, will add strength to the ma
tional Democratic ticket in November.
Let US give the state ticket the great
est majority every recorded. Let US
alkeet out and work for the nominees
from the governor down. Let us bury
| in an avalanche of ballots the last
vestige OF Republican opposition in
Arkansas.
An active campaign will be waged.
Able speakers will be in the field. The
campaign viii be a notable one. Ev-
cry Democrat must do his part.
The executive committee, which is
in charge OF the campaign, desires the
full cooperation of all Democrats
throughout the state. A campaign
fund by popular subscription is de-
sired. VINO will head the list? Speak
ers who will volunteer their time and
services are requested to notify the
chairman or secretary, at Democratic
Headquarters, Room 221, Southern
Trust Building, Little Rock.
The committee also desires to CO.
operate with and assist the Democrat
ic nominees in each county, and to be
informed Of any picnics, celebrations,
reunions, barbecues or the like, with
their dates, in order that speakers
may be furnished if desired.
The formation of Democratic clubs
lthroughout the state is requested.
Now, let US put our shoulders to
the whee" and win another great bat
tie in the cause of good government.

LEST WE FORGET.

When l was child l knew a man
who was such a voluable liar, that he
repeated his stories so many times
that he finally convinced himself of
their truthfulness, and later we have
read in the newspapers so much, and
SO often about the High Cost of Liv-
ing" with so much coloring and ex-
aggeration, that many unthinking peo-
PIE have taken ii for granted that
what they read is true, and il is also
probable that many of the weak mind
ed reporters actually think they are
writing something of interest and of
value, but they do not give any facts,
or offer a remedy. they are simply
faultfinders and kickers, who made the
mistake of choosing a vocation by not
being at the head of a prominent man.
ufacturing firm, or managing a bank,
at least something more suitable to
their ability and attainments,
/ assert and am ready to demon
strate that the necessary cost of liv-
ing is not at this time, in Richmond,
any higher than it was either twenty
or forty years ago. l also assert that
wages are higher, employment more
common, prosperity more general and
money more plenty. People of all
classes are spending more money and
indulging in luxuries not even thought
of by the weather. people of forty
years ago, and with this condition
am well satisfied and greatly pleased,
and only hope we may also continue
and improve, but it does make me
tired to hear people who are spending
money lavishly on all sorts of Injuries
and even at times most foolishly, set
ting up such a howl about the high
cost of living condemning the tariff
and every one who has more to spend
wrought up to such a pitch that they
are discontinued, and so unhappy that
they are not able to properly enjoy
what they have in greatest plenty.
Permit me to make some positive
statements and challenge any one for
proof of error.

SUNFLOWE RS.

Their Pith Makes Fine InterIinins For
Battleship Arnor.
The most remarkable use to which
the sundower has been put Is In the
construction Of battleships. The stalk
of the plant is very pithy, and even
when compressed into blocks this pith
is capable of absorbing tremendous
quantity Of water. These blocks, in
which the pith retains some of it's flexi-
bility, have been employed with much
success In the solution OF the vexed
pr,elem of the lining of battleship's
siGea They are placed between two
walls OF steel, and the substance Is so
resilient that it completely closes up
the hole made by a projectile, keeping
out the water for long time.
Another little known use Of the sun
flower is in the manufacture of cigars.
There Is not part Of the plant that is
without commercial value. The seed,
which is raised by hundreds of millions
of pounds every year in Russia, makes
q palatable edible oil. with residue

SONS furnish honey first and then an
excellent yellow dye. As for the stalks,
the Chinese are clever enough to get a
sort Of silky fiber from them, and they
are also good for fuel and for the pro-
duction Of potash. In New England

with the article entitled Honor and

preston c"called bosses in other par
