SENIORS SOCIAL.
Annual Event Made Enjoyable by Sketch, Halloween Features and Story TeIIinq,

A very pleasing entertainment was Igfven Thursday evening at the high school in connection with one of the principal events of the school year, witches in the numbers they intro duced gave the affair at times dis tinctively Halloween touch, added wholesome variety and enhanced the reputation of the class members, and those assisting them, as entertainers. A special feature was the presentation of a sketch entitled The Man Haters, twenty-seven of the students having parts. Then there was a notable as- semblage of musicians known in com
 bination as the 1915 Symphony orches- tra, most extraordinary collection of instruments entering into the pro- duction of the harmonies given. Cones drums. horns mandolins, brass instru- ments and piano were included. The possibilities of this combination would stir the genius of a Wagner. In all seriousness, the orchestra, strange in the Instrumental units that composed it, played very well and was given justly earned recognition.
 Preceding the giving of the sketch there was a reception to members of the faculty and the parents of the class, members of the committee of arrangements. acting as hostesses. The sketch was followed by a finely executed drill of the witches, this giv- en weird scenic effects through the use of flares of red fire, which, for the time being, replaced the electric lighting service. At intermission Miss Louise Danielosn, in costume. told ghost stories and Miss Martha King gave readings.
 After the intermission there was delightful period for dancing. the guests of the evening joining with the 5.udents.

FUTRELL WILL
 PRESIDE OVER NORMAL

Little Rock, June 27-Prof. J. C.. Futrell, president of the University of Arkansas passed through Little Rock, Friday evening, enroute to Pine Bluff, where he will prside over a meeting of the branch normal committee of the Board of Trustees of the Univer- sity. The principal topic for consid- eration will be the sale of the present normal site and the purchase of a large tract of acreage near that city, upon which to establish a more exten- sive branch normal, with agricultural pursuits made the chief topic. As the grounds of the present normal are quite valuable, and the business men of Pine Bluff favor, rather than object to such change, for it will increase the attendance of the institu- tion several fold, there is little doubt but that the property will be placed on the market, and negotiations open ed for another site.

ALCOHOL AS ASHES.

In the production of alcoholic drinks the raw material is destroyed. Alco- hol Is not the outcome of a develop ment or adaptation of food properties; 1t .s the creature of destruction, ob- tainable only by the destruction of the natural properties of the subject. A log of wood may be developed. al tered or adapted so as to produce a table or case for an organ or piano Put the log into the fire. and all that will be left of 1t is ashes. So like. wise alcohol is the ashes of the fruit. barley or corn,

ONE EXCEPTION.

Legitimate industries favorably af feet each other. The liquor traffic unfavorably affects them all. The more it flourishes, the more they must de, cline. It's profits are taken from the merchant. and the manufacturers be. bind him; from the butcher, and the cattle raisers behind him; from the farmer, the miller, the baker, the builder, the shoemaker, the printer, the teacher. and the preacher.

Why New York Audiences Are Not |
 Represent ative.

In the July American Magazine Walter Prichard Eaton, theatrical critic of that publication, writes an in teresting article in the course of which he tells, as follows, why New York audiences are not representative:
 During the past year the American theatrical business has descended with greater rapidity, perhaps, than ever before toward chaos of mismanage- ment. We have a vast country, with ninety millions of people, with thou sands of theaters, with scores of cities large enough to support excellent To- cal theatrical companies, playing at reasonable prices. Yet practically all our plays are produced by group of men operating in New York and the success or failure of those plays through the country depends upon their reception in New York.
 "This New York reception, in turn, is not determined by representative audiences, but by audiences made up for the most part of people able to pay $2 Cor more often S2.50) for a seat people out for an evenings pleasure, as all theatergoers are, to be sure-but usually pleasure for them be spiced highly, must have some element of unusual novelty, for their appetites are jaded Many of them, as F. F. Adams once said, see as through wine glass, lightly; or else they are narrowly provincial in their views and tastes, for New York is the most provincial city in America The people who would naturally sit in the galleries, and we are a gallery na- tion, as the number of income tax pay CTS attests, do not sit in the galleries any more. They go to moving pie lures, because the pictures are cheap CT, or else they stay at home and read, or else they don't live in New York any longer.
 "Yet without the guarantee of New York run a play cannot succeed through the Country, because the business has been so dishonestly con- ducted that the New York run is the only guarantee an outside town has that the play has any merit at all. The tastes of the Broadway 'two-dol- lar crowd then, absolutely dictate the style, and spirit of our palys, hamper our dramatists at every turn, narrow their choice of subjects"

PROBLEM NOW COLLEGE STUDY.

It is stated that less than two per cent. of the men of America go through college, yet from this two per cent. the nation draws 77O0 of its 10000 leaders in all walks of life "The de- stroyer," Captain Hobson points out
 "has had a strong hold upon our col leges, particularly upon the large uni versailles, and it's grip must be broken at any cost" That this grip is being broken Is evidenced by the fact that 2,500 students in 100 colleges and uni versailles have already studied the liquor problem in classes during the first half of the present school year. and the total number of such students will probably reach 5000 during the year. Of these colleges, between 30 and 40 have given the course curricu- lum standing, with credit toward de- gree, and many of the others are con sidering the same step for next year.

WEEKLY LETTER OF COM
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE

Now is the time to begin to think about utilizing the waste fruits and garden crops that cannot be sold or consumed at home Peaches, apples, tomatoes and other perishable crops that get ripe and cannot be sold are fine for canning. A home canner can be bought for $1000, or you can get bulletins that will tell you how to can vegetables at home without even buy ing a canner If you decide to buy a canner, get prices from your local merchant or write me and 1 will give you the names of several manufac- turers.
 1 have 1000 bulletins on Canning Fruits, Vegetables, and Preserves, and I will be glad to send both to you. They are valuable bulletins on how to take care of something that other wise we would lose.
 Every County in Arkansas ships canned goods in by the car load, and we buy those things that we could have canned at home. We pay for the products, the freight and commission, and if canned at home, the only thing we would have to buy is the cans One little girl last year, canned more than 800 cans of tomatoes and sold them before all the work was done. If we put up more than can be used at home, there is always a market for good clean fruits and vegetables Write for the bulletins or any infor- mation you desire about taking care of the products that are too plentiful now but will be very scarce little later on.
 Many sections of Arkansas have had rain recently, to break the dry spell, and some have not. In either case the importance of shallow cul- tivation should not be overlooked. Many crops have been made, simply by proper cultivation. A farmer in North Arkansas writes, "I have made a better crop this year than I have since 1S79 I prepared a seed bed and I have worked my crop like it ought to be worked. A dry shirt causes more
