CONWAY'S LIBERALITY.

Conway is indeed the Athens of Arkansas, and the citizens of Conway deserve great credit for what they have done, are doing, and will do for the citizenship of Arkansas. It is by their liberality that they now have Hendrix College, the Central Baptist College, the State Normal, as good a high school as there is in the state, good negro school, and business col lege Conway citizens secured these institutions, support them and are proud of them.
 Other towns in Arkansas may have more showy residences and may boast of beautiful town in which to live, but Conway can say that she has been instrumental in making MEN and WOMEN who are destined to form the type of civilization in Arkansas. Con- way is doing more for the present and future generations of Arkansas than any other three towns of it's size in the state. Other towns may boast of the number of automobiles they have, but old Conway can boast of the mum Der of preachers, school teachers, physicians, lawyers, farmers, and so on, that she is sending out from year to year to bless humanity worldwide.
 Conway has invested more money in churches in the last few years than most towns it's size have invested in public enterprises for twenty five years. Besides the people of Conway have recently paved about six blocks of streets, installed the White Way method of street lighting, completed the sewer system, and are building all the time.
 Conway has more business men in Sunday school than any other town of it's size in the state.
 The citizens of Conway are big hearted liberal minded, friendly, sociable and proud of their investment in the young men and women of Ar kansas.-Hendrix College Bulldog.

REDUCING ACREAGE BY LAW.

At the conference held in Memphis
 las1 Saturday, the governors of sev- eral southern states very wisely decid- ed not to call special sessions of their legislatures for the purpose of enact ing laws to reduce the cotton acreage
 for next year. Such an action would in all probability defeat it's own pur- pose. Any effort at forcible restric- tion of acreage would furnish a temp tatlon to every farmer to evade the law in every possible way-and all laws can be more or less successfully evaded-and the result would doubt less be an increased instead of a re- duced acreage.
 Another reason why no such law should be passed is that the conditions may be entirely changed between now and the next planting time. The Flu ropean war will probably end as sud denly and unexpectedly as it began. No one can predict when it will close.
 The farmers of the south ought to be left free to use their own good judgment as to the amount of acreage they will put in cotton. Of course, another large crop on top of the pres ent surplus will mean that cotton will not be worth the picking and ginning. But the farmers know this as we'll as the legislators, and they are not likely to raise four or five cent cotton when they can produce dollar corn with less labor.

DEBATING COUNCIL MEETS.

The Hendrix College Debating Council, composed of J. H. Bishop, Frank McAnear, T. Workman, B. O. Womble and s. c. Fulmer met Tues day afternoon and discussed the ad- visibility of arranging for several de- hates for the year.
 It was decided to negotiate with Henderson-Brown College and Arkan- sas College concerning a triangular debate to be held some time during the year. The plan is for each school to furnish two teams, one to remain at home, the other to go to one of the other schools.
 It was also decided to try to ar range a debate between the Arkansas State Normal and the lower classmen -sophomores, freshmen and academy students-of Hendrix College. The council will also try to arrange de- bates with schools out of the state.- Hendrix College Bulldog.

GOVERNOR TALKS OF
 MEETING AT MEMPHIS
RELIEVES FARMERS WILL bE INFLUENCED TO REDOCh
 COTTON ACREAGE.

Little Rock, Oct. Ex-Governor O' W. Hays. who returned yesterday from the conference of southern states governors at Memphis on Sat urday, believes the greatest beneflt to be derived from the Memphis meet ing is the influence that may be eX- erted on the farmers of cotton states to diversity crops and thereby reduce the 1915 cotton acreage.
 Failure to have majority ot the cotton states governors present at the conference" Governor Hays sad last night, made it impossible that we take any action other than we de- cided upon. The resolution adopted endorsing the $150,000, ,000 cotton pool plan. and urging the reduction ot cot ton acreage by diversiication of crops through cooperation of federal and state governments and every agency possible however, hould have the effect of giving considerable impetus to the campaigns already under way in most of the cotton states.
 Governor Hays, who already has devoted a great deal of time to the work of planning statewide cam paign for the diversification of crops in Arkansas, said last night he would continue to give his personal and off cial attention to the situation, and that he believes that the farmers of the states are thoroughly cognizant of the need for reducing the cotton acreage next year, and that they only need the sincere cooperation of bank CTS and merchants in order to put in to practice the program of diversified crops.

GOOD MANS ONLY EXCUSE
Simply 1t ls ThIs: "I Have Done My Best and Accomplished
 Nothing"

The deeds of good men are like can dies blown out with one blast; and he Is only good who gives all he can. It is not enough to give little, he must give himself; like bird singing in springtime. offering its whole body to the sun. The good man knows that to plead the old excuse. T have done nothing is to plead guilty to crime. "I have done my best and accom- plished nothing" That he may and must say; and that man can show a better record upon earth than he who has done much; for the world loves a villain and despises the victims. Alex ander and Napoleon live forever, but who thinks of those they slaughtered? ?
 The philosophy of men and deeds may be summed up in one sentence: They whom the world can understand are great, they whom the world can not understand are rogues until they die. The maid of Domremy was a witch while she lived. Socrates was a corrupter of morals, Christ was a brawler in the temple and all were murdered. The shedding of blood is the one act that the world does un- derstand. therefore the title Great is given to those who have shed the most. But the good men, the So- crates who sheds light upon human folly, the little father of the birds and flowers, the chaplain of a lazar- island. who gives the title Great to these? They cannot live until they are dead; not until their bones have perished are they loved and then with the wondering kindness of pity, of in- difference-From Granite" by John Trevena.

Extraordinary Reproduction.

The flat worm about half an inch long called Planaria velata, 1t has been discovered, reproduces itself in most extraordinary manner. When 1t grows old its loses its appetite, it's colors fade and it's movements be- come slow. It drops a tiny fragment of its tail. then another, still another and so on, until it has left about half of its body in scattered pieces. Each detached piece curls up. secretes a mucus that soon dries and forms a hard shell. In this condition the fragments remain throughout the summer, fall and winter In the spring the shells burst and liberate many minute worms, which eat voraciously and soon grow to adult sise.

CALLS FOR PITY FOR RICH
Condition of Poor Millionaire Who Doesn't Know What to Do With
 His Money.

My dear, ignorant friend" said a western millionaire to humble New York hack writer, according to the New York Sun, you don't know what you are talking about when you say you wish you had the money I have, or similar amount.
 It's you that has the advantage over me by long odds. You can go anywhere you please at any time you please, and if you need money, and you never need a great deal, all you have to do is to take out your pad and pencil, dash off something read able, and your income follows at short notice
 But look at me. I had a business out West that was asked to go into a trust and the request was in the nature of a command which meant trust or bust, and 1 went into the trust Now l have a million and a half of the stock and a million in raw cash, and what in thunder am to do with it? The stock is all right, but what about the cash?
 Can you tell me where I can put that much money where it will be safe and bring me in a fair return? I've got to have the return, sure, for my living expenses are over $50 900 a year, and $10,000 8 year on the side is all have to meet them with The stock ought to pay a dividend, and it very likely will, but I don't know that, and I do know what my ex- penses are. So what am to do with that idle million?
 Its been idle for week now, and at per cent that means very nearly $1,0O0. Add my expenses of $1,00O a week, and am dropping $100.000 a year. Is there anything about hack writing as disagreeable as that? Do you think you would be any happier or more free from care If you had my money? Maybe you would, but cant see 1t from my viewpoint"

BUY AT HOME.

The following editorial from the Searcy Citizen is reproduced with our heartiest approval:
 "If ever there was time when merchants of Searcy needed the pat ronage of Searcy people, and the peo- pie living in Searcy territory, that time is now Our churches, schools, and other home enterprises must be supported and We are the people to support them, or they will go down. There are many people who send away all the cash they can get to Lit tie Rock, St. Louis and Chicago, thus paying in advance for goods they could buy at home, and in many in- stances, fail to, pay for goods charged by Searcy merchants"
 It is absolutely true that the home merchants need as they have needed before the patronage of home peo- pie Every dollar of trade ought to be kept at home this year. It will take the cooperation of everyone to overcome the difficulties which con- front our people. The people need the assistance of the merchants just as much as the merchants need the business of the people.
 At recent meeting of the Conway School and Civic Club a resolution strongly endorsing the buy-at-home plan was adopted. If everyone would live up to the spirit of this resolution many thousands of dollars heretofore sent away for merchandise will be kept at home, and everybody will be benefited.

By req son of the low price of cotton and oth- CT financial conditions the enrolment is short this year, but we hope to have a larger enrolment for the next term.
 This is essentially a school town. Hendrix College, having an enroll ment of about 250, is a Methodist col lege; that is under the care and direc- tion of the Methodist church. and Central Baptist College for girls, is a Baptist ocllege. There are about 200 girls enrolled. Then there is Conway high school that has an enrolment of several hundred
 There are several churches, the best being the Baptist, which is a fine brick house. We have Y. M. c. A. and Y. w. c. A. and B. Y. P. U., and also lyceum courses and theaters, so you see, we have the best of societies and entertainments.
 In the Normal we have debating or literary societies, two for the boys and two for the girls, which create a friendly rivalry and helps to develop young oratory. We also have athlet- ics, the chief of which is football at this season. We have already played one game and have more scheduled

ISN'T A LOAF ALWAYS BREAD?

How is Robert getting on at col lege?' asked the minister, who was being entertained at dinner.
 "Splendidly," said the proud father, who then went on to tell of his sons various social, athletic, and scholastic successes, and the minister said it was a fine thing to be college bred.
 That evening little James, who had been an interested listener, said: Papa, what did MT. Brown mean by college bred?"

CITY IMPROVEMENTS

With the completion of the down town paving and the installation of the white way" Conway has entered upon her first period as a real city. Too much praise cannot be given the members of our council and other cit izens who made it possible to have our streets paved Nor can we over estimate the great value of our splen- did street lighting system, which is due to the untiring efforts of our effi- cient superintendent, MT. E. V. Lev erett. On last Friday night amid the cheers of hundreds of students and in the presence of as many more admir- ing citizens, the ''white way" was for mally opened and presented to the city. The lights are beautiful and will do much toward advertising Conway favorably to those who visit us.
 Notwithstanding the business part of town is we'll paved and lighted, why cant we get more of our un- slightly awnings down? Most of our merchants take great pride in the ap- pearance of their stores and the own CTS of the buildings should assist them in this by making the fronts as attractive as possible.
 / While we are on this subject we cannot refrain from requesting the readers of the Bulletin to keep their own premises as clean and neat as possible. From health standpoint it is necessary; from the standpoint of appearance it is most desirable. Conway can be the cleanest city in the state if each citizen will do his part. The street committee will never have enough funds to keep the weeds cut or the crossings clean all the time, but we think it is nothing for a citizen to have enough pride in the appearance of his own surroundings to assist in this work by cutting his own weeds and sweeping the street crossings near his home. Keep your yards and barnyards clean. Paint your house if it needs it. Make Con- way beautiful !-Methodist Church Bulletin.
 The above voices most accurately the sentiments of every Hendrix stu dent. We are not so busy in our class work that we fail to appreciate the interests and welfare of the town. Our relations are vital, our sympa- thies mutual, our hopes identical We are proud of Conway and her public spirited citizens
 Some new students in former years became disgusted on their first walk from town to the college. So un- slightly was the surroundings that few even became discouraged and went home. Of course, they were lacking in something, but Front street might look a little better now if it was paved, and few shacks consign- ed to the junk pile. We are not crit ical, however, only suggestive.-Hen- drix College Bulldog.
