COLLEGE
 OUTLOOK BRIGHT
ENROLMENT TO BE 25O
CONGER WRITES OF FLATTERING PROSPECTS OF COLLEGE.

i An encouraging outlook for the next session of Central College is talk en by President J. w. Conger, who publishes the following statement 1T the current issue of the Baptist Ad- vance:
 T am glad to announce that our executive committee has finally let the contract for the west wing of our building. This has been in contem- plation for some time, and l have giv en much time trying to put things IF shane so that we could utilize the subscriptions that had been made in Conway. The old indebtedness, amounting to $20,000, has been reduc- ed to S15,O0O, and we have finally se- cured loan for this amount from the International Insurance Company of St. Louis, at six per cent interest, S2 GOO payable annually. The reader will see that We should be able to han dle this proposition without much diff ficulty.
 If there is no interference the con- tractor will try to give us the building complete by the middle of October.
 'In this building we will have an p-to-date physical laboratory, rooms for domestic science and domestic art, a large sitting room, two class rooms, the presidents offices and P bed rooms and bath rooms. Every bed room will have a lavatory for hot and cold water.
 We will have 25O young ladies next year, if Centrals friends will help. Our resident students will be increased and we are confidently eX- pecting an increase in the number of boarders.
 Let it be remembered that Central is the property of the Baptists, and that it's patronage depends on them. We are as we'll equipped as any col lege in the state, and we have the best furnished building for young lad ies in the state Our faculty is decid- edly the most scholarly body of ladies that have ever been engaged in any college in Arkansas. Seven of our teachers are masters of arts of great universities, and all of them have had large experience in the education ot young women. Our curriculum now is as strong and thorough as any in the state. Central is now recognized as the strongest and largest college in the state for young women, having the largest conservatory of fine arts. Let every Baptist help to keep our school in the forefront of women's ed ucation in the southwest.
 During the past year Central was victorious in every contest in which she entered, receiving first honor in the college contests in voice and eX- pression and second honor in piano, and first honor in art at the state fair, together with ten medals.

 Following a shower of one-half inch which fell early Sunday morning, a heavy rain occurred for about 30 min utes this afternoon, completely break ing the drouth in this immediate vii cinity. Reports from various sections of the county indicate that beneficial showers have visited practically every point during the past few days. North of the Cadron little damage has re- suited and crops are said to be the best in years. A ''dry' belt, several miles in width extends across the county east and west. and in this sec tion severe damage has been caused, especially to early corn, which in some instances is almost complete fail ure Taking the county as whole, the indications are that fully an aver age crop and possibly the best on rec ord will be made.

FARMERS UNION
 ASKS AID OF J. 5.
TO FINANCE COTTON CROP
1 STATE CONVENTINON TO AP- PEAL TO ARKANSAS MEM
 BERS OF CONGRESS.

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Members of congress from Arkansas will be ap- pealed to by the Arkansas Farmers
 Union, now in session in Little Rock, to finance the coming cotton crop and save to the planters of the south mil lions of dollars they will lose if they sell at prices which will otherwise prevail, should war between European
 powers actually occur.
 George w. Rogers, president of the
 Arkansas Bankers Association, and cashier of the Bank of Commerce of
 Little Rock, appeared before the con- vention Tuesday afternoon and ex- plained the financial end of the situa- ton. He called attention to tho fa :: that the war scare has caused cotton to drop about cents, when it should be selling at twice that figure. He stated this condition would continue through the cotton season if war actually took place, for 60 per cent of the cotton markets would be closed Mr. Rogers advocated some action on the part of the government by which it would advance money to the farm CTS on the cotton, and thus prevent actual suffering in the south. He suggested that the convention appoint a committee to meet today with the Little Rock Clearing House Associa- ton, which is composed of local bankers, in order that the matter be gone into more fully.
 President H. s. Mobley appointed this committee late in the, afternoon and it will send messages to the mem bers of congress, requesting national aid in marketing the cotton crop. The Little Rock bankers have pledged as- sistance as far as possible in caring for the Arkansas cotton crop.
 Other interesting speakers of the afternoon were Mayor c. E. Taylor of Little Rock, c. w. Watson, state gov ernment demonstration agent, and others. MT. Watson spoke on the work being done over the state by the farm demonstration agents, and stat ed that it would be only a short time until Arkansas would be a featured state by the government, and special agents would be supplied to go into all parts of the state and teach various agricultural subjects wherever class of 25 could be secured. He also stat ed that the agents were accomplishing much in the way of checking disease epidemics among animals.
 Mayor Taylor spoke briefly upon the municipal bond amendment and the association will adopt resolution pledging it's support to this measure, deeming it to the best interests of the farmer to assist the city in it's devel- opment.
 The convention will today elect off cers, and it is foregone conclusion that H. s. Mobley will be reelected president

 The board adopted the ruling of the attorney general on the granting of pensions to widows. Under Act 83, of 1913, widow to be entitled to a pension must have been the wife of a soldier whom she had married dur ing or before the war 1t is also provided that no widow under the age of 35, or one born since 1878 shall be entitled to a pension. The pur- pose of those rulings is to prevv.,t women who marry aged veterans, from drawing pensions after the death of their husbands.

CLOVER VALLEY SUFFERS SERIOUS LOSS
FROM The BURNING OF LARGE AREA

Last Friday a portion of the area
of Glover valley was devastated by
fire, and loss aggregating not less
than $4,000 or $4,000 occurred.
Word first came here by telephone
that a fire had broken out on the
ranch of Isaac Wiseman and that
there was great danger of the flames
sweeping over the entire valley, says
the Wells Herald very heavy
wind, in fact gale, was blowing
and great clouds of smoke rising over
the hills TO the south of Wells was
notification that the fire was very
serious. Shortly after the first alarm
was given here a call for help came
from the valley and several automo-
biles well loaded with volunteers
sped to the scene to lend their aid.
The fire was finally brought unde.
control late in the afternoon, after
five or six sections of fine pasture
had been ruined and some 1000 tons
Of hay, stacked in some fifty yards,
had been consumed
The fire started on the ranch Of
