DELIVERS SERMON
TO NORMAL CLASS
BACCALAUREATE SERVICE
HELD AT BAPTIST CHURCH Be
FORE IMMENSE CONGREGA-
TION SUNDAY.

In the presence of a congregation
numbering nearly 1000 persons. Rev.
John Jeter Hurt yesterday morning
delivered the baccalaureate sermon to
the senior class of the Arkansas
State Normal School. With perfect
weather, the fourth annual com
mencement exercises had an auspic-
ious beginning.
In spite of the fact that many of
the students had returned to their
homes as soon as they completed
their examinations, more than 200
of them were in the line which form
ed to march to the service, and as
they entered the church the chorus
sang the professional, "The Son of
God Goes Forth to War"
AS an invocation the boys glee club
sang abide with Me-" which was
followed by the chorus, "Praise Ye
the Father" DR.. j. W. Conger of
Central College read a scriptural Sc
lection, President J. j. Doyne made
the announcements for the COM
mencement week, and, after prayer
by Rev. j. J. Hurt, the male quar-
tette sang Though | Speak with
Tongues"
Revealed Truth" was the subject
of Rev. Hurts discourse, which.
though brief, was one of the most elo-
quent ever heard here. After point
ing out that the truth of God is re-
vealed in every one of Natures mar
velous creations, from the highest to
the lowest, the minister narrowed his
theme to a discussion Of the revela-
tion of the truth in our own expert
ences and took for his text the vision
of Jacob as described in the 31st
chapter of Genesis. Such experiences
as this, Rev. Hurt declared, are land
marks in the life of every person, to
which he can in after years look back
upon for comfort when assailed by
doubt and encouragement. ITO know
how to worship Cod the minister
said, SIS the greatest problem before
any people, for when it is solved all
other questions are solved with it."
The commencement exercises will
be continued Wednesday evening
with concert by the students in the
Normal auditorium, to which the gen
eral public is invited. Thursday aft
ernoon and evening an entertainment
especially for the students will be
given and the graduating exercises
will be held Friday morning at 1920.

ORDERS new PIPE
FOR WATERWORKS
MUCH WILL BE RELAID
CONTRACTOR M'COPPIN WILL
REMOVE ALL DEFECTIVE
MAINS AT ONCE.

Failing in an effort to get the
Wyckoff Pipe Company to replace the
defective and leaky wooden pipe sup
piled by them for the Conway water
works system, Contractor Joseph Nc
Coppin has placed an order with a
Michigan factory for new white pine
mains which will be laid throughout
the city in every place where leaky
pipe is discovered. Mr.. McCippin,
who came up from Little Rock this
morning, states the first carload of
new pipe will be shipped from the
factory today and is expected to
reach here by the end of next week.
The first shipment will contain a
little more than a mile of pipe, prin-
cipally of the four-inch size, with
which the most trouble has been ex-
perienced. AS soon as it arrives a
large force of men will be put to
work digging out the defective mains
and replacing them with the new
pipe. The operation of the plant, Mr.
McCoppin states, will be continued
during the reconstruction work, and
the service of no consumer will be in
terfered with, except for brief pc
riods.
II believe the white pine pipe will
be superior to the cypress" said Mr.
McCoppin today. at is impossible to
tell now how much of the old pipe will
have to be taken up and replaced
with new, but the people may be as
sured that none except that which
meets every test will be left

JEFFERSON lives

Hon. Morris Sheppard in Interview
States that Thomas Jefferson
Lives Again in Wilson.

United States Senator-elect
Hon. Morris Sheppard of this
city has given out the following
interview at the request of the
chairman of the publicity depart
ment of the National Democratic
Campaign committee:
In the nomination of Wilson
and Marshall for president and
vice president the Democratic
party has given an ideal embodi-
ment to the principles that have
enabled it to survive the trials of
more than hundred years.
Woodrow Wilson may well be
termed the foremost apostle Of
Democratic ideals in the Ameri-
can republic today. His prin-
cipal claim for the support of the
American people lies in the fact
that in his every action and in
his every word he subordidateS
personal ambition to the general
good He does not project his
own personality to such an eX-
tent as to overshadow the doc
trines for which he stand. His
statement in his remarkable
speech accepting the preSiden-
tial nomination to the effect that
no one man is indispensable to
the preservation of the republic
is one of the clearest indexes to
his character and to his political
philosophy. Thomas Jefferson
lives again and speaks again in
Woodrow Wilson. He possesses
the faculty of summarizing in a
single sentence the needs and
aspirations of the American PEG.
pie. Marshall is one of the
same type. These men are
looming larger every day in the
public eye, and men of all politi-
cal affiliations are rapidly gath
ering beneath the Democratic
standards this year. Demo
Gratis themselves are uniting as
never before under men whose
lives and characters summarize
the teachings of Democracy and
the hopes and aspirations Of the
American masses. -Four States

But it's death left no void.

No doubt, if there were sutfici-

five hundred girls would lodge in
the building. From the first,
nearly all the service positions in
this building have been filed by

building contains a gymnasium
