BOIL WffV|LS
 INVADE COUNTY COTTON SCOURGt IS HERE
FARMERS ALARMED OVER APa PEARANCE OF GENUINE
 WEEVIL IN COUNTY,

All doubts as to the fact that the genuine Mexican boil weevil has at last invaded Faulkner county was re. moved yesterday, when State Agen C. w. Watson of the government demon.- stration work passed upon specimens | taken from the cotton field of w. J. Hargis at Caney, three miles south. west of Conway. A few scattering specimens have been found in the county in past years and many uns founded reports of the insects ap. pearance have been made, but this is the first time they are known to have been found in any considerable mum. bers. At the Hargis place not bloom has formed since the weevils made their appearance, the squares being stung and killed as fast as they are put on. Many young bolls containing the embryo weevils have also been found.
 Since it was announced that the weevils had been found at MT. Har- gis' place, Thurston Fulmer has found numbers of them in his field, two miles northeast of Conway, and it is reported that they have been discovr cred in the Arkansas river bottom lands, but this report has not be con-. firmed.
 MT. Watson made written repor'. on the specimens sent him, in which he said in part: Ut is a very easy matter to state fully just what these insects are, as they are fellows that have been causing us so much trouble all over Texas, Louisiana and Arkan, sas, commonly known as the Mexican boil weevil l feel free in saying that you may tell the folks of your county
 that they have got the weevil good and proper It might be well to get
 the bottom planters of your county to
 look at these weevils while the infes.
 tation is On."
 ! Although the boil weevil has been
 working havoc in the cotton fields of Texas and Louisiana for nearly 20
 years and have in many instances, ab- isolutely put the cotton grower out of
 business, it's northern progress has been very slow for the past few years
 and Faulkner county is on latit1de
 practically as far north as it has ever
 been discovered. Some consider it
 probable that the damage in this sec
 tion will never amount to a great deal,
 while others are fearful that Faulkner
 county's main crop may eventually
 have to be abandoned or greatly re-
 duced as a result of the weevil's invasion.

PREDICTS BRIGHT
 FUTURE FOR CITY PRES. REYNOLDS SPEAKS URGES NEED OF CLEANER TOWN AND COOPERATION
 WITH COLLEGES.

Tn his address at the Methodist church yesterday morning, President Reynolds said that no other town in the state, except Little Rock, had a brighter future than Conway; that Conway is pre-eminently college town; that the town and her colleges were tied in interest so closely that what injured one would injure the other; that Conway never would or could be an important commercial point in view of being so close to Lit tie Rock. He said, however, that by reason of her colleges, her central To- cation and her proximity to Little Rock, it is within her power to become the most important residence city in the state He further stated that the town sustained a most vital relation to her colleges; that financially the colleges would become her greatest single financial asset; that in the fu ture the patronage of her colleges, ln- cluding. of course, the State Normal, would run up into the thousands; that the town determined the conditions of physical life and environment of the students and would mould the stu dents conception of a model town of streets, alleys, back yards, homes, churches and city government. He also emphasized the potency of the public opinion or community sentl- ment in the town in the education of the students.
 At this point the speaker said that community opinion makes or unmakes, strengthens or enervates character, that whatsoever the college faculties might do they would fail in character building if the sentiment of the town was low; that the faculty could not overcome the demoralizing influence of public opinion if the latter was fol the wrong rather than for the right thing
 In conclusion, the speaker urged that the town should have general cleaning up, and stay clean; that back yards and alleys should be kept clean; that the back end of stores, restau, rants and hotels should be cleared of all rubbish; that goods boxes and re- fuse should not be allowed to be thrown at the rear of any stores; that a system of garbage disposal should be established, and that garbage cans should be at the rear of every resi- dence and store, into which all refuse cans and garbage should be thrown This will cost a few dollars, but fall ure to do 1t will cost the town fifty o1 a hundred times as much as a garbage system will cost. He said that failure to do so will cause many people o1 means to pass Conway by who other wise would settle here and bring with them their money.
 IT6SluGHG RCy iloi0o oioo that the town must support and stanc by the college authorities, and uphold college government. Moreover, ht said that the town people should nevel invite students to a social function | their attendance would be a violation of college regularities.
 President Reynolds also insisted that sane and sound public opinion on all questions should be developed
 that the individual citizen should b
 on the alert to encourage college boy with sound advice and good examples that the people should cooperate wltI and turn critic of college government

AROSE TO THE EMERGENCY
How Engineer Proved Worthy Of His
Position When the Occasion
Came to Try Him.

The engineer of Chicago suburban
train, showed the other day that cool
and experienced head is equal to almost
any emergency. A side rod had brok.
EN-, and with every revolution of the
wheels, was demolishing the cab and
the mechanism by which the engine is
operated. He was able to shut off the
power, but the airbrake control had
been destroyed, and the train went
dashing on. Having done all that
mortal could do with the apparatus
that was left intact, he left the cab,
climbed over the coal In the tender
and swung down on the platform OF
the first car. There, reaching for the
air cord, he brought the train to a
stop in a few hundred feet. If he had
whistled for brakes the train crew
might not have responded in as little
time as 1t took him to do the thing
himself.

How to Work While You PLAY.

A French collaboration of Thomas
Edison has just invented a sewing
machine which is also piano. Its
mechanism is so arranged that every
time the operator strikes note on
the keyboard, she completes one
stitch. A single waltz will hem three
handkerchiefs-Be symphony
will sew an entire tTousseau. Thus,
the dressmaker can work and play at
one and the same time, and the more
they play, the more they work. To
bring the invention into the vogue It
so fully merits, schools will be es-
tabished in many parts OF France
for the training Of young women for
the degree of NJ. p. M-"master piano
machinists." Music with its charms
will thus be given an undoubted utili-
tartan value, and all the roundabout
societies for the furtherance of mu.
steal appreciation" will be left in the
shade by simple mechanical con-
trivance.
