ALL ROOMS AT
 CENTRAL TAKEN SCHOOL WILL BE FULL
CANVASS FOR STUDENTS STOP PED BY LACK OF ACCOMMO-
 DATIONS FOR GIRLS.

With more than enough applies tions from young lady students to fill all available accommodations in the college home, President J. W. Conger has discontinued the canvass for Cen tral College and is now devoting his time to the supervision of improve ments at the college and an effort to provide extra quarters for the stu dents. Tn the main building only 90 boarding students can be accommodate el and in residences under the direct supervision of the president and fac ulty accommodations for about 30 more have been provided.
 The erection of large sleeping porches, which is now in progress, will increase the capacity of the build ing by about 15, as the young ladies who desire to sleep in the open air may use rooms jointly for the pur- poses Of study. This will mean to- tal of about 135 boarding students in the college. in addition to such as may prefer to board in private homes and the day students from the city. Dr. Conger expects an enrolment to reach fully POO early in the session, against 1855 enrolled during the entire session last year.
 At least 90 more students could have been secured if We had rooms in which to accommodate them" said Dr. Conger today. Although the canvass for students was discontinued nearly three weeks ago, we are still daily re- ceiving application for rooms. We are advising these applicants that they can probably be admitted, as there are always some who engage rooms and find it impossible at the last moment to enter college. feel sure, however, that the building will be filled to its capacity the first week of the session, and students can then be admitted on- lv when vacancies occur. If our plans materialize, we shall be able with ad- ditional buildings next year to care for much larger number of stu dents. and l regret very much that these buildings could not have been provided during the present summer.
 Central College is a place of much activity at present, a large force of painters, decorators and other work men being engaged in putting the en- tire building in readiness for the opening, September Is. Many of the rooms are being repainted and paper ed and provided with new furniture, and the entire building is undergoing Q general house-cleaning.

LARGE INCREASE
 IN ASSESSMENT REALTY GAIN s33I,SI6
LAND VALUATIONS ADVANCED ABOUT 15 PER CENT OVER
 PREVIOUS YEARS.
From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily
 An increase of approximately one third of a million dollars. or about 15 per cent, was made in the assessment i of real estate in Faulkner county over that of the previous real estate assess ment in 1911, according to figures fur nished the Log Cabin Democrat today by Assessor W. N. Jones' Two thirds sessment of lots in the city of Conway and the remaining one-third was about equally divided between lands and railroad property.
 The total real estate assessment for 1913 is S2, ,025, as compared with S2 ,230 ,209 in 1911, gain of S331 SIG. Acreage lands in the county are as sessed at S1 1858, ,580, as compared with S1 ,2S8,756 in 1911, gain of 0,S24. All town lots in the county are assess ed at STOP, ,495, as compared with S502, eos in 1911, a gain of S199, ,SS7. The assessed value of lots in the city of Conway is S660, ,960, against S466,- 345 in 1911, an increase of SEA ,615.
 The assessment of railroad real es- tate in the county, which was made by the State Tax Commission and in- cludes right buildings, main track and sidetracks, assessed on a mileage basis, amounts in Faulkner county to $499,950, as compared with $43S,S45 in 1911, gain of s61, ,105.
 The gain in the real estate assess ment of Conway is remarkable, as the total is considerably larger than the amount to which the assessment was raised by the State Tax Commission two years ago, when 25 per cent in- crease was ordered by that body. The gain over the 1911 assessment in this city is almost 40 per cent.
 Assessor Jones is rapidly finishing up the work of listing the personal assessments. He has not made any footings on these books yet, but gives it as his opinion that the assessment of personal property will be approXl- mately the same as that of one year ago

NEW MATRON SELECTED
 FOR BOYS DORMITORY
HENDRIX COLLEGE PRESIDENT APPOINTS MRS. F.. A. ROWE
 TO NEW POSITION.

from Thursdays Daily.
 Dr. J. H. Reynolds has selected Mrs A. E. Rowe of Nashville, Tenn, as matron of the boys dormitory of Hen drix College Mrs. Rowe comes to Hendrix highly recommended by Dr. Stonewal Anderson, Dr. w. F, Quil- lian of Nashville, Dr. J. s. Chadwick of the Nashville Christian Advocate and by Bishop J. H. Mccoy of Bir- mingham, Ala. These recommends tions come from direct knowledge that these men have had of Mrs. Rowes work in Birmingham College and in schools in Tennessee, where she has had several years experience in dor mitory work. Mrs. Rowe brings to the dormitory life that culture, refinement and grace of character that will make the dormitory a real home for the stu dents there. No other woman is known or recommended better throughout the south than is Mrs. Rowe. Hendrix College is exceedingly fortunate m having her identified with it in such a vital part of her work.

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
 If Conway's population is to con- tinue to increase, more residences will have to be provided. Although score or more of new houses have been erected here during the summer, prac- tically every house in the city is either occupied or contracted for, and the de- mand for houses is constantly increas- ing.
 According to Business Manager w. B. Hubbell of Hendrix College, sev- eral desirable families who wished to move to Conway on account of the city's educational advantages, have been turned away during the past few days on account of being unable to find suitable residences in which to make their homes. He also has a num- Der of applications from families who desire to locate here before the schools open. and says he will be glad if property-owners having houses to rent will mail him a description of their property at once.
 It is probable that there has never before been so few vacant houses, either business or residence, in Con- way as at present The increased population, together with the best prospects in many years, indicates prosperous fall and winter business for local merchants and a considerable rise in real estate values throughout the city.
