Mr.. LOntZ retOrted that the city

old plant is out of commission, and |
helped to put it out Of commission

knecht, who had assured me if the
city plant could secure monopoly of

ness, rates would be lowered
Mr.. Lontz in spicy talk asserted
that he had been misled by the city
plant superintendent and concluded by
stating that the city's policy should be
to make rates which would induce fac
tories to locate in Richmond and not
prevent them from operating here.

power rates were not provided plants
would be forced to provide their own
current, with the possible result that
the local power plants would lose SO
much daylight business they would be
forced to increase their lighting rates.
Raymond Nicholson, OF the NichOl-
son Printing company, defended the
existing rate schedule. He said only
four or five large consumers were ADJ

large number of small consumers
would be perfectly satisfied if the min

charge cut down. He said he thought
the purpose of the meeting was to
discuss that question and he was
greatly disappointed because it had
not been considered.
However, city officials say that they
recognize that the minimum rate and
the double throw charge are too high
and that the state commission is to be
asked to authorize satisfactory re-

Mr.. Reid complained mostly of the
graduated rate system which compels

that it is the only one which the state

Editor of the Palladium,
City.
Dear Sir: In connection with
the statement in your last nights
paper that the 'Palais Royal will
give its employees one afternoon
free each week, which action is to
be highly recommended, we beg to
advise you that We have arranged
our office hours from s a. m. to 2
p. m. during the summer%nonths
We firmly believe that intelligent
and alert clerks can give better
service during 6 hours of concen-
trated work, while their faculties
are at their best, than during or
10 hours of partial listlessness.
Since last September we also have
a Saturday half-holiday and find
that we now easily turn out as
much work and give as good ser
vice in ~ days as we formerly did
in six days.
We write you this letter as it
may prove to be an impetus to
other offices and similar concerns
to give as much relief and happi-
ness, the result of plenty Of out
door play and exercise, to their
employees as is consistent with
good business. A healthy and
satisfied employee is the best asset
a firm can have

GLEASON BRIDGE
 NOW A CERTAINTY

All doubt as to the early construc- ton of the new steel bridge across Cadron creek at Gleason has now been removed. County Judge J. W. Holt stated today, and he received a letter this morning from the contrac- tors stating that the order for the steel had been placed with the manu- facturers with instructions to rush delivery. On account of the bridge being a joint enterprise of Conway and Faulkner counties, considerable trouble was experienced in letting the contract, but the difficulties have now been overcome, and it is expected that the structure will te completed late in summer or early next fall. The bridge is one of great importance to the two counties and will also form a connecting link in the proposed Lit tie Rock-Fort Smith turnpike.

The baseball and basketball cham pionships, both in the college and the high school divisions of the Arkansas Athletic Association, will be awarded at a meeting of the executive commit tee of the association tonight, which will Le held at Little Rock. Prof. M. J. Russell of Hendrix College, secre- tary of the committee, left at noon to- day to attend the meeting.

Hendrix played every college in the association during the past season, and finished in first place HendersonBrown Col lege of Philadelphia forfeited four games to Arkansas College of Bates vile, but President Hastings of the association, it is said, refused to allow the forfeiture, as it is contrary to the constitution and bylaws.

CLINTON MORRILT0N
 AUTO SERVICE BEGUN

The initial trip of the auto truck service between Clinton and Morril- ton was made Tuesday, taking most Clintonites somewhat by surprise, as it was generally understood no effort would be made to make Clinton until the road down the Culpepper noun tain was put in better shape. The car is expected back today (Thurs- day), however, and each succeeding Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On other week days it makes the round trip from Morrilton to Scot land The trip from here to Morril- ton is made in three hours, the fare being five cents mile, or $2.35 for the trip. By this service Clintonites can leave here at 1 o'clock p. m, spend a couple of hours in Morrilton and then reach Little Rock at S:25, or three hours earlier than is possi ble via M. & N. A. railway, and at a saving of $2 or $3 in fare for the round trip.-Cinton Democrat.

There are most excellent reasons fol. Greeson Drug Go. standing back of DOdson's Liver Tone with an un- conditional guarantee to refund pur- chase price (50c.) to you at once without question in event of any dis satisfaction.
 Seven of America very highest priced physicians, who were consult ed regarding D.odson's Liver Tone and who analysed this vegetable liquid remedy carefully with all their skill, knowledge an deXperience, have all agreed on it's superior merit, harmlessness and effectiveness. bod sons takes the place of dangerous calomel in constipation, biliousness, sluggish liver, sick headache, etc.
 Each of these physicians fees was heavy enough to stagger most men; but their judgment Is worth all it cost, particularly if it will be the means of leading more people to re- fuse to run dangerous risk by taking calomeI and other violent remedies.
 Dodson's Liver Tone not only re- lieves the sufferer from constipation and kindred ills, but does it easily and naturally, without ache, pain or gripe, with no bad after-effects, without in- terfering with usual duties and habits and absolutely without danger which is one reason it can carry an iron-clad guarantee.

Fron, Saturdays Daily
 The School and Civic Club held a very interesting meeting yesterday afternoon at the Presbyterian church. After the regular business the club had the pleasure of listening to talk by Mayor J. Frank Jones He dis cussed the results of the first clean up day saying that it was very satis- factory, but expected to improve the next time. He said the city wagons were kept busy all the week hauling away refuse, at a cost of about S43 to the city.
 Mayor Jones suggested that the Boy Scouts be added to look about and report all places needing atten- tion to the mayor, also to help keep the streets free from papers and such litter. The mayor said his men had all been busy on the streets, but he eX- pected within a few days to begin cutting weeds on the sidewalks and ditches. Also he expected to appoint a board of health soon.
 The ladies agreed with the approv- al of the mayor to try to organize a Ay-swatting campaign, and Mrs. J. Haydon and Mrs. L. H. Pyle were ap- pointed to secure the aid of the Board of Trade in the movement.

NORMAL FACING
 SERIOUS PROBLEM STUDENTS NEED HOMES
SOME MAY BE TURNED AWA UNLESS ACCOMMODATIONS
 ARE SECURED.

From Fridays Daily
 - In the matter of providing board ing accommodations for the students who come to Conway to attend the summer session, the Arkansas State Normal is facing a serious problem, and unless more homes are secured within the next day or two 1t IS prop ahle that several will be turned away. President Doyne has made strong effort to secure a large attendance at the summer sess:on and succeeded even beyond his expectations, but now the proposition of obtaining homes for inc students is causing him no : little concern.
 Although the girls dormltory was nlanned to accommodate only oO boarding students, up to last night " had been placed in that building and the limit has been reached. e4u'te a number of those who kept boafdefS during the regular session have de- cided 10 "rest up" during the summer and their homes have been closed to the students, while others have ad-
 
 the means of the students.
 About 50 county teachers lnsti- tutes are in session over the state this week and at the close ot these institutes it is expected that anywhere from 20 to 50 students will come to the Normal, as seven full weeks ot the session remain. To accommodate
 
 morning that there IS not hai1- dozen places available, and unless more homes can be secured at once, some of them will have to be turned away. It is urgently requested that all who can possibly accommodate one or more students will notify the pres ident at once, giving the location or their homes and the rates they Will charge. Of course, it is possible that the expected increase in attendance next week will not occur, and that those who volunteer to receive board CTS may not be called upon, but Pres ident Doyne is very anxious to have an ample list of reservations so that no student who comes to Conway will be forced to go back home on account of the lack of accommodations
 It is the purpose of the Norma! board of trustees and faculty to ask an appropriation of the next leglsla- ture for the main or administration building of the institution. When 1t is completed it will mean an attend ance of at least 500 during the regu- lar sessions The question has been raised, if Conway is unable to accom- modate 200 boarding students during the summer session, what provision will be made for the 300 who will want to attend during the session fol- lowing the next?
