WARNOCK WOULD
 SUCCEED GOODWIN

Little Rock, Sept. 2.-R. s. War mock, the banker statesman of Mag nolia, has announced for congress from the Seventh district to succeed Hon. w. s. Goodwin. He represented Columbia county in the legislatures of 1909 and 1911.
 In 1912 he initiated state banking law, which failed of submission to the people on account of technical fault in the petition. But he is not dis couraged, and he announces that it is his purpose to carry this measure be- fore the people next campaign. He has already prepared a guaranty amendment to the present banking bill, which he proposes to initiate. A bank ing bill carrying the guaranty feature was considered by the legislature of 1913, but defeated by the law subse- quently enacted in which the guaranty clause was eliminated. He is author of the present state depository law.

INCREASES
 SHOW LICENSES

Judge J. w. Holt this morning made an order of county court radically in- creasing the license fees for shows and exhibitions in Faulkner county For all public exhibitions of any char acter, given for profit, the license fees have been raised as follows: Each single exhibition, $5 to S25; one month, $10 to $200; three months, $15 to $500; one year, $25 to $1,0OO. For leach exhibition having the nature of a circus or minstrel troup,' the license is now fixed at $50, instead of $12.50, as has been heretofore charged.
 The county license on circuses is fixed by state law at $100.
 The court did not change an order made by former County Judge J. A. Lea fixing an annual tax of $100 on moving picture shows. This license has never been collected, however A

 Because your case is difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has remedied many cases of female ills, such as infamma- ton, alteration, displacements, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, and it may be exactly what you need.
 The Pinkham record is proud and peerless one. It is record of constant victory over the obstinate ills of woman ills that deal out despair. It is an es- tablished fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has restored health to thousands of such suffering women. Why don't you try it if you need such a medicine?

Washington, Sept. NV arm weather Tn the east and southwest and cool wave in the northwest were predicted last night by the weather bureau for the first part of the con- ing week.
 '1t is likely" the weekly bulletin states, "that this cool change will ad- vance eastward and overspread the plains states and the upper Mississ- ippi Valley by Wednesday or Thurs day and the eastern and southern states the latter part of the week. Local frosts will occur by the middle of the week in the far northwest.
 "A disturbance that is now over the northern Rocky Mountain region will move eastward, attended by local showers and thunderstorms, and cross the great central valleys Tuesday and the Atlantic states Wednesday or Thursday. Otherwise this week will be one of generally fair weather.
 "There are no indications at pres ent time of disturbance in the West Indies."

SCHOOL
 ANNOUNCEMENTS
BY SUPT. J. P. WOMACK
REGULATIONS GOVERNING PU- PILS ATTENDING THE CON-
 WAY SCHOOLS.

Supt. J. P. Womack today issued the following announcement of regu- lations governing pupils attending the Conway public school during the next session:
 All the grades except the first will have full day sessions
 The school day will begin at 8:35 instead of 9, as formerly The build ing will be opened at 8:15, when the teachers will be in their rooms ready for work. There will be 10 minutes for chapel; general chapel Mondays and Thursdays, and room exercises the other three.
 No lettering or playing on the cam pus before school. Pupils will go di- rectly to their rooms and take up their work of preparation.
 No pupil living within the corpor- ate limits should leave home before the first bell. Those living within four to eight blocks of the building should start from the house at the second bell; that will give them 20 minutes to get to their rooms.
 A reasonable time will be allowed for play after school. We are hoping soon to have playground facilities for every child in school. If we are not much mistaken, the good women of the s. I. A. will help us in this direc- tion.
 The Telephone-The telephone is for the superintendent use exclu- sively. If you have important busi- ness with him, call him. But don't ask him to call others to the tele- phone, for he will not do it. He will deliver important messages when he has time to do so, but such work is at the expense of the school work and must be reduced to minimum. Pu- pills will not be allowed to use the telephone except in extreme cases.
 IOiilotlollo.- cal tSl plOlitobloii will be granted whenever anybody is ready for it. If an ambitious boy or girl forges ahead and masters the work between his class and the one ahead of him, he will be promoted then and there. And when a class, or section of class, finishes the work of it's grade, it will go right on into the work of the next class. Nobody will be held back nor dragged ahead over ! work that he does not know If he gets ahead of his class, he will be sent on; if he falls behind, he will be dropped into the next section. Moth ing is fixed; a pupils standing de- bends entirely on his work.

BUILD F MILES
 OF GOOD ROADS

Little Rock, Aug 29.-Twelve miles sof the Little Rock-Hot Springs -Texar- kama highway were built yesterday by County Judge George Kelly and 400 citizens of Saline county, who toiled for 10 hours in the broiling sun to erect the roadway.
 Judge Kelly sounded the call for the building of the road as soon as he re- eceived Gov. Hays proclamation, and every citizen in Benton, as we'll as farmers from the surrounding coun- try, came to the scene in all kinds of conveyances.
 They brought shovels, blows, scrap CTS and all other road building mate rial. They went to work with will, and the famous graveyard" hill was lowered a couple of feet, while 20- foot bridge was erected across a small stream.

SUPREME COURT
 TO C0NSTRUt LAW
IMPROVEMENT DIS TRICTS
VALIDITY OF ACT PASSED BY LAST LEGISLATURE IS TO
 BE DECIDED.

Little Rock, Aug. 30.-One of the most important suits pending in the Arkansas supreme court, due for a settlement during the coming fall, is that of state of Arkansas, ex rel w.. L. Moose, attorney general vs. W. N. Trulock ct al, from Pine Bluff. The issue is important because it has a di- rect bearing upon the validity of ev- cry improvement district in the state contemplated or in process of forma- tion.
 The last legislature made numerous change in the improvement district law, most of them making it stronger and better. But through an oversight it neglected to re-enact that portion of the old law providing for the election of the commissioners by the city coun- cils. Some hold, however, that that portion of the old law was not re- pealed, and this is the question the su- preme court has been called upon to decide.

COMMEND PROF. GIDDENS.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat: Prof. Giddens closed his school to- day, and We wish to say that he is not rough and unreasonably severe on his scholars, as has been so often report ed. On the contrary, he is very kind to his scholars; yet his discipline is ex- cellent. His school has given almost entire satisfaction here. We cheerful ly recommend him to any board of school directors who wish to employ good disciplinarian.

county fairs. Then why not try the same plan with human livestock?" said, and began to look about to see how it could be done. I wrote to Dr. Margaret Clark of Waterloo, a promi- nent physician and club woman, also a student of eugenics, and asked her to make a score card to measure ba- bieS, for l had heard that there was such a thing as a stock score card Dr. Clark went to the stock judge for help, borrowed a card and went to work. The result of these efforts was the card used at the first baby health contest at the Iowa state fair, Aug ust, 1911.
 This first contest was put on under the combined auspices of the Iowa Congress of Mothers and the Iowa State College. The actual cost was S18.25, and the news of this contest went around the world, statistics of first contest
 This contest was followed by few county contests that fall, but the fol- lowing year found several states try ing the plan. The interest has grown until the year 1913 finds the baby health contest with little change from the original plan, special feature of nearly every state fair in the United States, while hundreds of county fairs are measuring babies, wing with each other to show up the lustiest crop of youngsters.
 The object of the baby health con- test is not to find out who has the fattest baby or the tallest baby, but to make parents think, not so much to gather new data as to make parents want to use the wealth of information already at hand.
 Again I say: "The object of the baby health contest is to make people think, for I believe that the parent who thinks will do pretty fair job at raising family
