ACCEPTS PRESIDENCY
 OF HENDRIX COLLEGE

Little Rock, June 12-The ac- ceptancey of the presidency of Hendrix College by Dr. J. H. Reynolds on Wednesday after noon, was not unexpected, as 1t was understood when he decln- ed to accept the presidency of the University of Arkansas for another year this was his inten- tion. In accepting the position, Dr. Reynolds elevates Hendrix immediately to one of the leading educational institutions of the state, for he made it a condition of his acceptance that the Board of Trustees guarantee to erect within three years, three addi- tional buildings representing a value of $15O,O00, a domitory, a gymnasium and science build ing. The Board of Trustees not only agreed to do this, but made the salary of Dr. Reynolds equal to that he would have received as the president of t state Uni versity. Dr. Reynolds recently stated, while in Little Rock. that Hendrix College, with it's present endowment, and the additional amount the Board of Trustees intended to raise, could be made Arkansas leading educational in- stitution, and give an educator a good chance to demonstrate his executive ability. Dr. Reynolds accomplished much for the Uni, versity of Arkansas while it's act ing president, and his friends claim he would have more had he been clothed with the full author ity of president, and the know lege that he would be given sev- eral years to accomplish the end the Board of Trustees sought from educators of nation wide prominence, and were willing to grant them to bring about re suits.

SONG FOR ARKANSAS

Little Rock, June 12-Arkan- sas has chance to get a song dedicated to Arkansas alone. Mont Finch, a St. Louis song writer has written to Gov. J. M
 Futrell that he has composed a ballad entitled, My Old Arkan, sas Home," which he wishes made the official song of ,Arkan- sas. He declares that the ap- pointment of commission to se- lect a state ballad is unfair to the contestants who base their efforts on merit, for some bit of humor is liable to catch the fancy of the commission and the artistic crea- tions are side tracked. He asks the Governor to consider his song, and have it played and sung and then give it to the people for their own. Finch states this is the way to make state song popular among the people. He asks for no money, but in a diplo- matic way, intimates the state might later bestow a fitting token as a mark of appreciation.

TEACHERS ENROLL
 MENT REACHES l42

The Teachers Institutes be. ing held in this city today have an enrolment of 142 which is probably the largest number of teachers that were ever in this city at the same time.
 The enrolment of the white teachers reached 115 today ana this is probably all that will at, tend this session. The institute war conducted today by Prof. E. B Jones.
 The enrolment of the colored teachers is 27 and this is far in advance of any number had here before. This institute is being held in the colored school build ing and is being conducted by S. T. Boyd, principal of the 1912 13 term of this school and who was also elected as principal of the 1913 II session.
 All of the teachers in attend ance are putting forth their best efforts towards making this ses- sion highly successful and ben eticlal one and it is very evident that it will be one of the best ever held in the county. Both the institutes will close Saturday.

CUBA IN 1899.

On January /. 1899. when the first Amer
icsn Intervention began, Cuba was in an
impoverished condition which cannot be
pictured by word or pen. The country
was desolated, the inhabitants emaciated
and the entire island strewn with ashes
and skeletons. Charred ruins of great
properties marred the landscape wherever
the eye fell upon ii.
Cuba was a country which had been
developed in a measure. and in compar-
ing its progress with that of other Latin
American countries this should be taken
into consideration. The progress of cuba
has been great and will be great, but
the percentage of gain and advancement
in the other Latin-American countries
will be far greater in proportion; particu-
larry will this be SO in respect to those
countries which border on the Pacific.
Commercially. the west coast of South
and Central America has not been on the
map. The canal. once in service will
place that entire district in easy toucn
with the trade centres OF the world.
Competitive transportation will quicken
and make cheaper the movement of pas
sengers and merchandise, thus assuring
the development OF the countries so
favored Now, in consideration of what
Cuba has done. the progress to come in
these countries may be well imagined
The rate of mortality IN Cuba at the
beginning of 1853 was 81 per cent, which
has been lowered TO about l3 per cent. a
decrease of 66 per cent. The 81 per cent
rate dated from about the middle OF 1899,
because for the first few months OF that
year there were many deaths due to the
suffering which had been experienced by
the people from starvation and depriva-
ton. Literacy has increased l5o per cent
and school attendance has increased over
70 per cent.

INCREASE IN WEALTH.

From the beginning of 1909 to 1919, COW
ering the period OF the administration OF
President Jose Miguel Gomez. the increase
of wealth in the Republic of Cuba can be
estimated in round numbers at $500 cJ0,-
900, though, as a matter of fact, IL was
somewhat in excess of this figure
During that time British capitalists in
vested in the island the sum Of 100000
COO. Americans $35,0OoO00. French s12.-
10000 and Germans si,5O0.OoO. a total Of
SIP. 900, coo foreign money applied to bet

ditions.
In the same time in the City Of Havana
the use Of automobiles has increased
397 per cent, and, at the present time
these machines in that capital represent
an original outlay Of 81 10000 The French
machines, which far outranked those Of
American make. have now taken second
place, and the product from the states
ranks first.
In four years the extension OF the mac
adam roads has increased 40 per cent.

1%HERE are. perhaps, few people who
realize or even give passing
n thought TO the important develop
ment and trade evolution which have
taken place within the borders OF our
near neighbor and protege. the Republic
Of Cuba, within the last few years. With
less than hundred miles between the
shores OF the two countries. Cuba is as
distinctly a foreign country as Spain.
Morocco or Italy. Less than a score of
years ago our relations with that island
were practically nil and we were COM
parative strangers. Since the with
drawal Of Spanish dominion the awaken
ing of Cuba has brought about the most
surprising results. The interchange Of
trade between the two countries has in
creased wonderfully.
Cuba is now represented In the schools
and colleges Of the states from Florida to
Massachusetts, Formerly the Cuban fam
iy that sent It's sons and daughters to
school here was a rarity. Now It has
come to be regarded as the natural thing
and hundreds of young Cuban minds are
being trained in this country for the
larger and more serious duties of life
One instance in particular deserves men,
tion. When Senior Antonio San Miguel
editor and owner Of La Lucha," one
of Cuba's leading newspapers, was elected
TO represent the Province Of Pinar del
Rio In the Cuban Congress, he dedicated
his entire official salary to the education
OF six boys from that province. All OF
them were sent TO New York State
schools and kept here until Mr. San

FROM DEFICIT TO CREDIT.

The balance OF trade has risen from
deficit of about s2s,OoO0O0 to credit OF
$4,000, 600, showing gain OF approx
msteiy $50 000. .O0O In other words, the Inn
portations have increased from SeHo'oU

per cent, while the expectations have
gone from s4s.Sss. 600 10 sl5O,0oo,ooO or 200

the cultivation OF crops are striking Illus

Since 1899 the extension OF railroads In
