A big agricultural meeting to be held in Conway on Thursday, June 26, attended by experts from the United States department of agriculture, has been arranged by Special Agent John w. Earlier of this county w. B. Mer- cler, assistant in the department of agriculture at Washington; State Agent c. w. Watson and his assist ant, Agricultural Commissioner l.. A. Markham of the Iron Mountain and three district agents of the farm dem- onstration work have already promis- ed to be present, and State Commis- sioner John H. Page has been invited to attend.
 1t is the purpose of those interested in the meeting to have at least 1000 Faulkner county farmers in attend ance.

NEW TELEPHONE
 EXCHANGE CUT IN SERVICE IS IMPROVED
NINE MILES OF CABLE RE PLACE OVER 200 MILES OF
 OPEN WIRE.

The new exchange of the South western Telegraph and Telephone Company was placed in operation last night at 9 o'clock. The new quarters occupy the entire top floor of the Don aghey building The first conversa- tion through the new exchange was at I9:01 D. m. from No. PAS to No. 162. The Southwestern Company acquir- ed the property from the North Ar kansas Telephone Company on Octo- Der l, 1911. The Conway Telephone Company, l.. H. Pyle, president, own- ed the property up until same was sold to the North Arkansas Telephone Company. In the past few months the Southwestern Company rebuilt the outside plant entirely and an all new central office apparatus has been installed in the new quarters.
 When the property was acquired by the Southwestern Company there were 200 miles of open wires on the poles throughout the exchange. This has been reduced to less than 30 miles, on account of stringing more than nine miles of cable throughout the city. This large amount of cable not only places all subscribers telephones on metallic circuits, but reduces the chances for trouble to very small degree. The metallic circuits enable factorily, where, in the old system, using the grounded circuits, much cross-talk or other conversations could be heard. More than 800 new poles were used in the reconstruction. Four hundred and seventy-three phones are now connected to the new switchboard, which has capac- ity of about TOO and was furnished by the Western Electric Company. The office quarters have been arranged with managers office, operating room, young ladies' rest room and supply room, as we'll as waiting room for the public. The number of telephones now in use in Conway compare very favorably with the number in use in other cities of like size.
 In the next few weeks all of the old and unsightly poles and wires will have been torn down, improving the looks of the streets as we'll as giving Conway as good telephone system as any city in Arkansas.
 The following representatives of the Southwestern Company were on hand to assist Manager G. w. Sammons in transferring the subscribers from the old to the new exchange: J. L. Mur- |phy, district traffic chief, Little Rock ; U E. Stiles, general construction fore man, Little Rock; George Williams, district plant chief, Little Rock; H. H. Hammonds, construction foreman, and R. H. Hiteland, special switchboard

NEW BALE RULE
 GESTURES C|NNERS
UNIFORM SIZE REQUIRED
MANY GINS IN FAULKNER AFFECTED BY STEAMSHIPS
 RULINGS.

Fully One-half the cotton baled in Faulkner county will be liable to be "dOcked" $1 bale, an equivalent of one-fifth of a cent pound, under the recent ruling of the steamship compa- nies, penalizing all bales baled in press boxes measuring more than 27 by 54 inches, according to one of the local cotton dealers. Hesetofore there has been little uniformity in the size of bales and ginners have been buying presses of various sizes.
 The new rule will require all these odd-sized presses to be discarded and new presses substituted, or else cause all cotton baled in them to be penal Iized $1 per bale.
 The following IS a copy of the reso- lution adopted by a joint conference of steamship lines, railroads, cotton shippers and compressers, April II, 1913, at Dallas, Tex:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the standard size of gin box is to be 27 by 54 inches, and that an extra charge of $1 per bale on cotton and cotton linters shall be made for ocean freight on all bales baled in boxes of greater length or width than this size.
 Further Resolved, That in order Ito eliminate gin boxes of larger size than 27 by 54 inches, the conference recommends that the railroads in their tariffs and agreements with compress .es provide that the charge for con- pressing any bale of larger dimensions shall be $1 over the regular price.
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that improvement in the character of the bale of cotton or cot ton linters necessary to conform to the requirements of the steamship compa- nies as above recited, can best be at tainde by a greater amount of cooper ation as between the cotton grower, buyer and shipper, the compress con- Ipany and the carrier. That as step towards greater cooperation, it is
 Recommended, That the existing contracts as between the carriers and the compress companies be amended or Inew written contracts executed, con- taining an agreement upon the part of the compress companies substantially as follows:
 No. l. That no receipts or clear ances shall be given by the compress Icompanies as basis for the issuance of bills of lading except for cotton or cotton linters actually in their posses sion for shipment; that such receipts or clearances shall show the actual condition of such cotton or cotton lin- ters and shall indicate whether any of the following conditions are present:
 q. Not thoroughly covered.
 "2. Covering insufficient ito retain marks.
 '3. More or less wet
 A. More or less stained
 "5. More or less soiled.
 "Notations to be made on the through export bills of lading corre- spending to the notations on such com press receipts or clearances. A clean bill of lading will only be issued against clean clearances."

that ran from her head was very thick. I
did not comb her hair very often, her head
was too sore to comb 1t, n when I did

her head itched so bad she could not sleep.

Spend Sunday Here.

Fargo council No. SIS of the United
Commercial Travellers is not only one
of the most prosperous councils in the
grand district, blu 1t is the largest in
numbers in the state. There are about
$50 members. It is the great Sunday
town for all the boys. There are three
railroads running into town, besides
several hotels all of which cater for the
welfare Of the travelling man. Every
Monday morning can get a good
idea how many travelling men make
their homes in Fargo, for the depot
platforms are usually taken up with
the u G. L. men and their grips, and
the money they spend here shows a
splendid aggregate. Many Of the
travelling men own their own homes
here and every Sunday they can be
seen enjoying the comforts of home
life. Several former travelling men
having retired from the road are now
in business in Fargo and they still
hold their membership in the old home
council and they are always welcome
at the meetings.

below the normal for the country east

rains in limited localities, causing To-
cal floods are probable.
We cannot certainly locate these
torrent!aI rains, but there are some In
dications that they will concentrate
in Our northeastern states, the Can

ty of Kansas City, Mo. In northern
sections the concentrated precipita-
ton will probably be in the form of
snow and the cold weather following

Our forecasts of heavy snow over
the northern parts OF the Pacific
slope has been notably fulfilled and
our success in forecasting the preci-
pitation East of the Rockies for the

good.
