With an able address by
Dean A. M. Hsggard, of Des
Moines, the Southwest District
convention Of the church Of
Christ closed its three.day ses-
sion here last evening. 1t was
cheerfully conceded by j. Cor
bett, for many years president
of the district, that this SEES
sion was the best held in the
district thus far. The attend
ance was good, the addresses
entertaining, instructive and q
source of inspiration to the
delegates and others in attend
ance. Emission Work in the
Southwest District" was the
subject of forceful address by
j. A. Mckenzie, of Woodbine,
yesterday afternoon. The SER
mon by NJ. L. Rose, of Elliott,
following the address of Mr..
Mckenzie and delivered for the
benefit of the clergy, made the
laymen sit up and take notice,
and wonder where the light
ming would next strike. In the
selection of officers for the en-
suing year, the following men
were elected: President, w.
H. Crewdson, Logan; vice pres
ident, F. d. Terrell, Shenan-
doah; corresponding secretary,
Edgar Price, Council Bluffs;
Supt. of Bible School Work, ].
D. Corbet, Cumberland; Supt.
of Christian Endeavor, G. N.

mittee, DR.. Logan, and Edgar
Price, Council Bluffs. In this
election of officers. the presi-
dency of the district, for the
eleventh time, was conferred
upon w. B. Crewdson; the sue
cess of the different conven-
tions attest the wisdom of Mr..
Crewdson's election. After
much elaboration, Oakland
was selected for the next place
of meeting, and the time fixed
on the last of April or the first
of May, 1914. The beautiful

they are constipated. For con-

Bob Morton, special railroad
agent in the yards, made an
important capture last night.
While looking over a train he
discovered a seal on a box car
had been broken and as the
train was then in motion he
jumped on and rode it to Cali
fornia Jet, in the hopes that
the robbers were still on the
train. When the train stopped
at the junction he got off and
went back to the cars which
had been broken into and on
climbing into the car he found
two men crouching in the cor
ner. He brought them out and
was rewarded by finding part
of the stolen goods on them.

morning and will be taken to

PACKERS NEEDED:
 COTTON SUFFERS
CROP TURNOUT IS GOOD
FARMERS MAKING BETTER THAN PECTED-PRICE
 UP A LITTLE.

The worst scarcity of labor for cot ton picking ever known is reported from all sections of Faulkner county, and the crop is suffering considerable damage on account of a lack of hands to gather the staple. Every kind of inducement is being offered by farm CTS, and many of them have been compelled to take their children out of school in order to save their crop. The weather has also interfered with picking to no small extent.
 As rule, the crop is turning out much better than was anticipated a month ago. It appears now that a large part of the crop put on when the drouth was broken in August will mature, and if frost holds off couple of weeks longer the yield will be still better. Many are now predicting that the crop in Faulkner county will be considerably larger than last year and possibly the largest in the coun- tvs history, whereas two months ago no one believed the yield would be equal to that of the 1912 crop.
 The price of cotton has taken a slightly upward turn during the past two days and local quotations have been advanced about one-quarter cent on all grades.
 Cottonseed, however, has declined from s2O, the price paid from the be- ginning of the season, to SIS, the lat

PROGRESS SHOWN IN SCHOOL REPORT INCREASE IS GRATIFYING SUPT. COOK FINDS HEALTHY
 GAINS ALONG EDUCA-
 TIONAL LINES.

Little Rock, Oct. 17.-The tabula- ton of the public school statistics for the school year ending June 30, 1913. Is nearing completion by the depart ment of education under the direc- tion of State Superintendent Geo. B. Cook.
 The statistics show steady and gratifying increase that has marked the school progress during the past several years. The following items of increase over the past year are very indicative of the situation: h. crease in school population for the year 4,139, enrolment, 19,716, aver age daily attendance 17,182. The number of teachers employed was 1O,234, or 59 more than for the year before and the average annual salary was increased $15.4O. The average length of school term for the past year was 127.1 days, nearly six and one-half months for the entire state, and 9.2 days longer than for the pre- vious year.
 During last year 346 new school buildings were erected with a total value of more than one million dol lars and the total value of public schol property is now approximately eleven million dollars.
 The sum of $5,759,753 dollars was available for school purposes, of which $4,279,47S were expened, leav- ing an unexpended balance of $1, ,480,- 275. This balance is largely to the credit of the common school districts. In nearly every instance the special districts have not only used available funds but have taken advantage of their power to issue bonds for build ing purposes. The uneXpended bal ance, however, is approximately S50,- 900 greater than for the previous year.
