SCHOOL CONTEST A
/. FINANCIAL SUCCESS
ASSOCIATION Is THRIVING
ORGANIZATION NOW MEMBER
OF A. A. T., AND FIGHTS
PROFESSIONALISM.

Little Rock, May 15.-The financial
end of the Arkansas Athletic Associa-
ton and Arkansas Interstate Contest
Association, twin industries which are
fostered by the educational interests OF
the state, grows apace with the organ
izations, and in a few years the re-
ceiptS from admissions to the contests
will no doubt care for the entire ex-
penses of contestants, and the mainten-
ance of the organization.
The gate receipts at the athletic con-
tests Saturday amounted to Sl,O35
which enabled the association to REIN
burse every contestant for his railroad
fare. There will be enough left, after
all expenses of the organization are
paid, to pay portion of the expenses
of those competing in the inter-school
contests. This means that the admis-
sion fee to all events will pay the rail
road fare of about 400 school children
to Little Rock.
The expenses OF 1914 will be much
greater as a junior department will
then be added, which will bring several
hundred additional entries, but it is
customary for each contestant to bring
along one or two members Of the fam
lily to see him smash a record, so the
number of entries merely adds to the
number of paid admissions.
The cups and medals for the meet
were donated by business men of Lit
tie Rock, and it has already been an
nounced the premium list, which con-
tanned over $1,000 in cups this time,
will be almost doubled for 1914.
The association is now member of
the American Athletic Union, affiliat-
ed with the Western division. The
executive committee is now working to
free Arkansas institutions of profess
sionalism, and before several well
known state educational institutions
are permitted to contest for prizes,
they must rid themselves Of athletes
who have violated the rule of amateur
school athletics.

Thorpe out of the ranks of the anna
tours" states a member of the commit
tee. land we have clean sport in our
ranks, and will not permit it to become
besmirched by admitting anyone sus-
pected of professionalism

CT ARKSYILLE SECURES
BIG BASKET FACTORY
LII MBER
co. ESTABLISH PLANT IN
THAT CITY.

GAINESVILLE, May 3.-The Arkansas
Indiana Lumber Company will have
installed and running by May ) The
largest veneer basket factory in the
state of Arkansas. They will at pres
ent only manufacture enough blshel
baskets for the present peach crop,
but their plan will be equipped to
manufacture every kind of basket that
the demand will permit and will not
confine their business to johnson
county, but will be in shape to ship
in ;arge quantities to any part of the
I nited States.
The company will guarantee their
goods to meet the demands of the
shippers and the price will be lower
than the growers have been accustom-
ed to paying as the raw mate
rial will be found in Johnson county
and thereby disposing of all the trans
portation charges. Twenty men will
be employed in the mill and this will
mean a great deal to Clarksville,
johnson county and the growers OF
this section, both in business and the
saving of many dollars. H. L. Now
cry, who has spent 20 years in the
large mills of southern Indiana, will
have complete charge of the plant.
This enterprise should have the
hearty cooperation of the entire coun-
ty as it is one of the most needed
manufacturing plants for this county
for many years. The company had of
fers from Conway, Russellville and
other points with large bonuses but
they decided GAINESVILLE was the prop
er place.

SWATERW0RkS
HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
M'COPPIN ISSUES NOTICES
DECLARES HE WILL NO LONGER
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PLANTS OPERATION.

From Saturdays Daily.
Declaring that the Waterworks sys-
TEN has been completed and has been
approved and accepted by the engi-
neers, Contractor Joseph McCoppin of
Little Rock today serves notice on the
people of Conway that the plant has
been rendered to the board of commits
sioners and he will no longer be re-
sponsible for any expense connected
with it's operation. The notice was
sent to the Log Cabin Democrat by
Mr.. McCoppin today and appears in
another column of this paper.
More than year ago construction
work on the system was completed
and the operation of the plan was be-
gun by the contractor, as it was neces-
sary for pressure to be kept on the
mains while the leaks were being re-
paired. This process has required
many months longer than was antici-
pated, but it now seems that while the
leakage on the distribution and supply
pipes has been reduced to minimum,
there is still loss of about 10000 gal
Ions per day at the reservoir, this
leakage being due, it is thought, to
cracks in the walls of the reservoir
Engineer Guy A. Watkins, who has
been supervising the construction of
the plant, is said to have advised the
board of commissioners that this
amount of loss is not excessive, but
at its last meeting the board enc Nhati-
cally refused to accept the PLAN until
the reservoir had been repaired.
Members of the board whe in
formed of Mr.. Coppin's notice today
declined to make any comment further
than to say that the system had not
been accepted Another meeting of
the board will be early next week, it
was stated, and it is possible that
some agreement with the contractor
will be reached at that time.

rain CUT BERRY
SHIP fNI SHORT

From MONDAYS Daily.
Last nights rain and the fact that
picking was not permitted on Sunday
cut the shipment of strawberries short
of the expectations today, and only
one car will be sent out tonight. The
rain, however, will prove benefit to
the berries no1 YET matured and will
overcome the loss sustained by fail
ing to pick yesterday.
Another car will be shipped tomor-
row and from one to two cars will be
sent out every day this week. The
market is continuing good. Agent G.
L. Mays telephoned from Morrilton
this afternoon that q buyers were at
that place and the demand was
strong.
A check for $1,076, the proceeds of
the first car shipped Saturday was
deposited in the bank here today. Re
turns on the earlier shipments by ex-
press have also been received, netting
the growers about S160 a crate.
