 In the body of his sermon, he ex- horted them to anticipate that judg- ment The innermost thoughts words and actions will be revealed and all will be held accountable for them. It will be a frightful revela- ton when everything will be made manifest before the judgment Seat of Jesus Christ. Intenperance and all other forms of vice were given crush ing blows.

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP.
Change Made in Manner Of Selecting
Beneficiaries.

Fayetteville, July 7.-President
Futrall of the state university, who is
chairman of the committee to select
Rhodes scholars for the state of Ar
kansas, has received notice from the
University of Oxford, England, of
change in the manner of these schol-
ars. Heretofore one scholar has been
chosen from each state in the union
in two years out Of every three. In
the first and second years, there were
forty-eight scholars each year; in the
third year. none. Hereafter, there will
be one scholar chosen from each of
thirty-two states every year. Thus
the total of scholars in each three
year period will remain the same as
before.
The next examination for these
scholarships will be held in Arkansas
in October of 1915, and annually there
after. The examination consists prin-
cipally of Latin, Greek and mathema-
tbs, and is open only to those who
have completed at least the sophomore
year in recognized college or uni>
versity. 1t is believed that the new
regulation will Increase the number
of applicants for these scholarships
by making the conditions of the COM
petition somewhat more liberal.

CAN'T INCREASE
GAS PRESSURE
=, FOR PINE Bluff
Continued from Page ~

render their investments unprofit-
able, said Mr.. Smith.
When questioned by Alderman Sor-
rells in regard to the sudden increase
in gas bills for the first two months
of this year. Mr.. Smith said that that
could be accounted for by the cold
spell from December 20 to January 90
Mayor Bloom called the attention of
the officials to their statement made
at a previous conference, at which
time they admitted that the supply re-
ceived here was insufficient to care
for the trade and said the company
was building a gathering station.
Mr.. Smith argued that the gathering
station was needed because one source
of supply was temporarily shut off.
but the erection of the gathering sta
ton had nothing whatever to do with
the pressure. He said that Pine Bluff
had 12-inch main from Perla, which
was erected at cost of $425,O00, and
that only one town, Sheridan, was sup
piled before Pine Bluff.
Alderman Sorrells said that he
thought that the trouble could be
remedied by supplying a pressure of
four ounces and giving a certified
copy of the meter readings to every
consumer. Mr.. Daley said that it
would be impossible to provide GER
tain pressure; that the gas had to be
taken as it comes, and that the giving
of the certified copy of the readings
would only mean an extra expense to
the company.
