county government. But a part also
was due TO the state. For a number
OF years the annual state levy was
about three million five hundred thou.
sand dollars. Last year. because of
accidents and blunders, as one may
see fit TO regard them, the action Of
the people in the towns and counties
is enormously Increasing the appro-
priations for good roads and the ex-
cessive appropriation made by the last
legislature, the amount of the state
levy suddenly Jumped to $1,000. 900.
One reason why the plan proposed
in the petition should not be adopted
is that a great deal more than this
amount can and will be saved by the
state without an extra session OF the
legislature. I have authority. as gov
ernor. to prevent the use of money
appropriated for building purposes
Without invoking this power. how
ever. but merely by continuing the
policy OF economical administration
adopted after the close of the last
legislature and concurred in by the
governing board Of all the institutions
of the state, before the end of the
next fiscal period approximately ST.
ass, 600 can and will be saved out OF
present appropriations. The amount
is almost half million dollars more
than the maximum saving proposed In
the petition. 1t is made up OF the
following items:

NEW YEARS BREAKFAST
Served At Henderson Hotel Un-
der Capt. WhitIOw'S
Management.

The Kingdom Hotel. Henderson's
principal hostelry, is now in charge
Of Capt. Lloyd Whitlow. The first
meal under his administration was
breakfast New Years morning. 1t
goes without saying that It was a
feast. Capt. Whitlow is we'll known
as one Of the best hotel men in the
State. He is the man that took hold
Of Hotel Latham several years
ago and made its reputation after
others had failed. His many friends
here will be glad to learn that he is
back in business for which he is so
we'll fitted and doubt not that the
Kingdom will not only be money
maker but delight to the travelling
public. When the Penhyroyal Hotel
building was completed it was hoped
by some of his friends that he might
lease it and have il finished up to
suit himself.

NEGRO RUNS AMUCK.
Knocked Young Lady Down and
Tried to Pull Up TeIe-
phone Post.

Gaines McReyno'ds, a young ne
gro man, was arrested at the corner
Of Main and Ninth streets Thursday
afternoon by Officer Hadden for
drunkenness.
When the officer went up to Nc
Reynolds to take him in charge, the
negro took a notion that he would
not be put into the lookup and tried
to get away. In his hurry, the
officer says, he pushed or knocked a
young lady who was passing to the
sidewalk, severely injuring her. The
negro then threw his arms around a
telephone post, but finally became
tractable. He was locked up for
the night and when he was to be
brought from his cell yesterday
morning the Chief of Police had
more trouble to get McReynolds out
than it did to get him in. The key
of the cell wouldn't push the bolt
and the lock, had to be cut off, con-
suming nearly an hours time.
McReynolds pleaded guilty before the
City Judge and was sent to the work
house to work out a fine of s2l.

While he would not commit himself, it was easy to see that he re- garded this county's exhibit as the best shown at the fair. "If any one will examine your county's products at the fair he said, land compare them with products from counties which have no demonstrator, there will no longer be any opposition to keeping up this good work in your county. It is an investment of the most profitable kind, and not an ex- pense."

 THEIR SUBSCRIPTIONS.

4 vigorous campaign for funds with which to continue the government farm demonstration work in Faulk- Iner county, an appropriation for which was voted down by the quorum court, is being made among Conway business men this afternoon, follow ing meeting of the Board of Trade this morning. State Agent C. w. Watson and Assistant J. C. Barnett |of Little Rock are spending the day in the city in the interest of the con- paign, and Mir. Barnett will remain over tomorrow to assist in securing subscriptions.
 MT. Watson made personal appeal to the business men this morning to keep up the demonstration work, the need for which, he declared, is great CT this year than ever before, in view of the necessity of reducing cotton acreage and diversifying crops anoth- CT year. He said that Faulkner coun- tvs reputation for progressiveness along agricultural lines was state wide, and he would feel hYmiliated if this county should abandon the work which it has heretofore carried for ward with such great success.
 It was announced that it would be necessary to raise $500 to provide a county demonstration agent and a canning club agent for the county. To this amount the government will add $500, making total of $2,100. For the past two years, about dozen local business houses have been contribut- ing $500 annually to supplement the county appropriation and to secure a canning club agent, and several of the subscribers said this morning that they would double their subscriptions for another year D.

To the south of Verdun and to the northeast of Grey, the French made several attacks which, however, were unsuccessful.

PUBLICSCHOOL NOTES
By Lucille Conover.

The band concert given Friday night was splendid The music was very fine and the school realized $2l.8o as it's share of the proceeds, which will go for playground appar- atus.
 The school has entered into the Ar kansas Democrats vote and label con- tests. A list of the valued brands, trade marks and labels will be pulp lished and can be easily gotten, so we ask that you, our friends and patrons, aid us as much as possible.
 Miss Maud Carmichael, the eighth grade teacher, has returned to her place, after long absence. We are glad to see her again take up her work and hope she will soon regain her good health.
 The basketball girls are getting much good practice and soon will have some match games. Miss Dennison is doing some fine coaching, and inter- est in their work is daily growing.
 The football season is over, and all though the tea mhas not made an en- tirely winning record, they have play ed some fine games and done very good work.
 Wayne Owen and Howard Office, who have had fever for some weeks, are reported better. We hope to see them back in school soon
 Various and sundry dainty dishes, carried by white-aproned lasses, are beginning to appear at the teachers desks. And to judge from the way the teachers dispose of these toothful morsels, we venture the guess that our domestic science department is already paying dividends.
