of Argentine beef imported into this

the butchers in Centre Market. And
this difference in price is just about
wiped out by the water that makes
the Argentina beef so much heavier.
Besides, we have to sell the Argentina
meat quickly, as it spoils as soon as
it is allowed to thaw." 1t was agreed,
however that in other respects there
was really no difference in nourishing
qualities and taste between Argen-
tina and Western beef If anything,
some of the marketmen were inclined
to give the preference to the Argen-
tina meat.
Several butchers in Centre Market
say they are selling meat to some of
their older customers at lower fig
ure than they themselves are paying
to the packers. One man, who is
losing considerably by this means,
said to the reporter:
There is one restaurant man with
whom / have been dealing for twelve
years. Rather than lose his patron
age | am supplying him with meat at
a lower figure than | am paying"
Special to the Evening Star.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Declaring
that Argentine beef shipped into this
country disappears in some mystic
rious way and but little can be
bought by consumers, Mrs. Julian
Heath, president of the National
Housewives League, today addressed
a letter to Secretary Houston, of the
department of agriculture, urging
that an investigation be made as to
it's disposition.
This action was taken by Mrs.
Heath because of the rapidly ad-
vancing price of all cuts of meats.
IF the packers are buying up this
Argentine beef, so that ii is not avail
able to consumers, it should be
known Mrs. Heath declared. She
set forth in her letter to Secretary
Houston that members of the House
wives League throughout the coun-
try were complaining that they could
not purchase the imported beef at
Argentine prices Mrs. Heath said
she knew of but one place in New
York where this beef could be pur-
chased, although a plentiful supply
was being shipped in.
1.-The Housewives League" Mrs.
Heath said, wants to know who is
getting this imported beef, as it GER
tainly is not reaching the consumer"
| Prices were still gong up In New
York today. Round steak advanced
| four cents over night, selling at thirty
cents retail today. Other prices were
Rib roast, 80 cents; chuck roast, 1S;
porterhouse steak. "a; sirloin steak,

TO SHIP BERRY
 CAR BY EXPRESS

The first carload of strawberries from Conway this year will go out by express tonight and will probably be consigned to Kansas City. The car which was set out by train No. l32 yesterday afternoon, is being loaded today, and it is expected that it will go out on train No. 106 tonight.
 Shipping berries in car lots by ex- press is little out of the ordinary but it is stated that the quickness of delivery will make up for the in creased charges. Should the car be routed to Denver. Colo, for instance it would reach that place within 4S hours, while the fastest freight ser vice possible would be from four to five days. The charges on the express car would be only about one-third greater than if shipped by freight.
 A large number of pickers are at work in the field of the Conway Strawberry Co.,, which is the busiest place in the city today. The growers are hoping for continuance of fair weather, which will greatly improve the quality of the berries. The price for first-class berries today is about $3 per crate on the car here, but on account of their water soaked condi, tion today's shipments are not expect ed to bring so large a price.

NEXT MONDAY IS
 CLEANUP DAY"
MAYORS PROCLAMATION
CALLS UPON ALL CONWAY CIT HENS TO CLEAN UP PREM
 ISES ON MAY II.

Next Monday, May II, was set to. day by Mayor J. Frank Jones as a "clean-up" day for Conway and ev- cry citizen Is called upon to give the city good spring cleaning. All gar. bage which cannot be burned will be hauled to the dumping grounds by the city free of charge, and during the summer the city will haul garbage free on the first Monday in each month
 Mayor Jones announcement is AS follows;
 Il am glad that the first message to go out from my office is one in which every citizen is vitally interested. All over the land, cities and towns are having their cleanup days. Now that the rains have ceased and the ground IS dry l am calling upon every citi- zen to join in the movement to give our city thorough spring cleaning.
 Next Monday is the day set for the beginning of the work, and I shall ask that every home lend helping hand at this time. All waste leaves and trash should be raked in piles and burned. All tin cans and gat- bage gotten together in barrels or boxes and placed in convenient places for loading will be hauled away by the city free of charge. Mail postal card to city marshal, giving your street number if you wish the wagon to call.
 See that all drains and ditches are opened so that no breeding places will be left for the mosquito. Prompt at tention and little work just now will reduce the mosquito and fly pest. prevent many cases of fever, make our living places more sanitary and the city more beautiful.
 "The merchants will see that the street in front of their stores are clean-that the alleys and vacant ground in the rear are well raked and lined. Several complaints already have been registered about the side walks in the buisness section being too freely used for the storing of merchandise. Except in cases where it is unfavorable or temporary use, I feel that but few infringments will be made along this line.
 During the summer, on the first Monday in each month, the city will haul away all garbage free of cost, if due notice is given. We are expect ing your hearty cooperation. FRANK JONES, Mayor"

QU|TMAN BOYS ARE GRANTED PARD0NS STRONG PETITION IS FILED FATHERS OF GIRLS WHO WERE PROSECUTING WITNESSES
 UNITE IN PLEA.

Little Rock, May 6.-Probably the strongest petition ever presented to a governor for clemency was submitted in behalf of two young men of Gle burne county George Dawes, Jr., and Thomas Garrett, each 20 years old, who were pardoned by Governor Hays yesterday. They were convicted last March on charge of burglary and assault and were sentenced in four cases each to three years, to run con currently.
 The petition for their pardon was signed by the circuit judge, the prose outing attorney, "A petit jurors, l6 grand jurors, T. M Norwood and J. w. Jones, fathers of the young wom- en who had been insulted, and several hundred citizens.
 The defense of the young men was that they were drunk at the time and not responsible. The petitioners say ::
 Knowing the boys to have come from good families, understanding that from the start they have been penitent, have been obedient to all the powers that be, and believing that they are now fully reformed, and will make good citizens for the future, We pray you that they may be fully and freely pardoned.'
 The petition was granted on condi- tion that they hereafter refrain from the use of strong drink, and that they shall violate no laws of the state.

TO BORROW FUNDS
 FOR IMPROVEMENT
BONDS ARE SOLD AT PAR
ANNEX TO SCHOOL BUILDING TO BE ERECTED AND
 SEWERS INSTALLED.

Teachers for the next session were elected and second mortgage bond issue of from $13,000 to S18,000, as required, was fioated at session of the board of directors of the Conway school district yesterday afternoon. The meeting was the most important held by the board since the new high several years ago.
 Supt. J. P. Womack will again head the Conway schools, having been elected last year for an indefinite period. All of the teachers of the school were reelected except two who were not applicants. Those reelected were G. Rice Wilson, Miss Maggie Denison, Miss Minnie Flippen, Mrs. Ida Burns, Miss Ida Bragg, Miss Maggie Stephens, Miss Edith Wise, Miss Agnes Maddox, Miss Mary Ham, ilton and Miss Caroline Muth. The two new teachers chosen were Miss Alice Berry and Miss Myrtle Nelson. A domestic science teacher will be chosen later. All of the teachers will be assigned to their grades by Supt Womack
 The second mortgage bond issue of the district was sold to Speer & Dow Fort Smith bankers, who were repre- sented here by Ralph G. Hebron. The firm of Gunter & Sawyers of Little Rock also made an offer for the bonds, but the proposition of the Fort Smith firm was accepted. The buyers agreed to accept at par an issue of a minimum of S13,000 and a maximum of SIS 8,000, in accordance with the re- quirements of the district. The bonds bear interest at the rate of six per cent, and the first of the series will fall due after the maturity of the present first-mortgage issue, on which about $25000 is still to be paid.
 As a result of the sale an annex will be built to the new high school building, or it may be decided to erect a small temporary building for the use of the first and second grades. This matter will be decided by build ing committee composed of Directors D. O. Harton, J. E. Little and J. w. James. The plan which the directors hope the finances of the district will permit them to adopt is to erect a two-story annex joining the present building on the north at the rear of the auditorium stage. A basement would be constructed under this annex for the toilet rooms. The lower floor would be used for class rooms and the upper floor for the domestic science department.
 It is estimated that the cost of in Stalling the sewerage connections for the school will be from 300 to S2.- f0O0. This is the first and most inn portant of the improvements and up- on its cost will depend to some extent the nature of the building additions to be made. Supt. Womack informed the board that while the school might be able to go ahead one more year without additional room, more room for the session of 1915-l9l6 would be imperative.
 Eight thousand seven hundred dol lars of the proceeds of the second mortgage bond issue will be used to retire an issue of that amount now being held by Halter Brothers of this city. Payment is in default on some of the interest coupons and principal of this issue, and the past due amounts are bearing 10 per cent in- terest.
