ASK NO BUILDINGS
 FOR STATE NORMAL
MAINTENANCE FUND ONLY
WILL BE SOUGHT BY TRUS- TEES OF SCHOOL-MILL TAX
 FAVORED.

Seventy-one thousand, eight hun dred dollars, fund sufficient only for the maintenance of the institution on
 the same basis as for the past two years, is all that will be asked of the
 next legislature for the Arkansas State Normal School, according to the decision of the board of trustees at a meeting held in Little Rock yester-
 day. This is $500 less than was ap- lpropriated for the same purposes
 two years ago and $51 300 less than the total appropriation made for the Normal in 1913.
 Two appropriation bills for the
 support of the State Normal were passed by the general assembly in 1913, one carrying s47,OOO, of which S3o,500 was for completing and fur nishing the girls dormitory and s16,- 800 for the erection of central heat ing plant. The other bill appropriat- ed $76,700, of which $3,0OO was for Ithe furnishing and equipment of the practice school and the balance for salaries and maintenance.
 Present at yesterdays meeting of the board were Supt. George B. Cook, chairman; Prof. B. w. Torreyson, secretary; State Treasurer J. w. Crockett, Jo Frauenthal and Presi- dent J. J. Doyne. It was decided that, owing to the condition of the state treasury, no appropriation would be asked for either the main building or
 the girls dormitory, both of which are badly needed, and that the appro- priation for maintenance would be cut to the minimum.
 Differing in this respect from all other state institutions, the State Normal has never in it's existence pre- sented deficiency bill to the legisla- ture, but, on the contrary, has always
 turned back to the treasury consid- ierable sum not expended. At the close of the present fiscal year it is expected that $2,000 to $3,000 will be
 returned to the treasury. On this ac-
 count no appropriation asked by the Normal has ever been denied by the Legislature, and it is felt that, when
 the state finances are in better condi- l tion, there will be no difficulty in se-
 curing the needed buildings which will not be asked for this year.
 The board yesterday went upon rec
 ord as favoring the support of all the
 state educational institutions by a
 mill tax, provided the other institu-
 tions will agree to it and provided al-
 so that the tax is equitably appor- 1 toned.

lilies in Conway who need medicine, and are unable to buy it. With a lit tie assistance from the druggists these people might be restored to health. There are many people in Conway who have clothing that they have discarded, which would be of much benefit to the poor. Search your clothes closets, gather the gar ments that you don't expect to use again and telephone No. 83 and they will be collected. Dealers in fuel should contribute wood or coal. Their Christmas will be much more pleasant If they will do a little charity work.
 Christmas is less than a week off. If we are going to help make the poor and needy of Conway happy, we should get busy right now. Don't wait, but telephone to Mrs. Sam Heil- lgers, No. S3, or to the Log Cabin Democrat, No. 21, and your name and the amount of your donation will te turned over to the committee.
 The first picture show benefit will be given tomorrow afternoon at 8 o'clock at the Grand, when a free will offering will be made. A special pro- gram of pictures has been engaged, and it is hoped that large crowd will be present. The Arkway will give a benefit program next Tuesday night.

CHRISTMAS RUSH
 ON Al POST0F:f|Cf

The Christmas rush at the local postoffice has begun. Yesterday aft ernoon the first batch of parcels. bearing the yuletide remembrances made their appearance. No extra help will be employed, but the regular clerks will work overtime. Despite the agitation made through the news papers and circulars sent out by the postoffice department at Washington to mail the Christmas packages early, there is no marked evidence of the people taking heed of these requests in Conway, according to local postal authorities.

exercise the camel is not to be des-

Perhaps, however, the best use Of
the camel will be as an example
to our rich men. Most Of them are

CHAPTER VI.-Continued.

At two o'clock the Gnat was just
making a wide turn at the end of the
slip, preparatory to proceeding up the
line, when Holton saw against the
blackness a deeper blackstone thing
that seemed to move.
It was out in the bay, perhaps two
hundred yards. AS he lowered his
head, straining his eyes into the sable
curtain, he found he had lost whatever
he had seen.
Perhaps his imagination had played
him false. But no, that could not be,
for in his first glance he remembered
that some stars on the horizon had
been blotted out by the object. That
certainly was suggestive of its tangi-
bility.
Holton went to the little bridge,
and, pointing out the spot where he
had last seen the moving blot on the
night, ordered the Gnat to head in that
direction at half-speed.
For five minutes the little craft pro-
ceeded out into the bay, and then sud-
denly Holton made out clearly the out
lines Of a small tugboat, with a skiff
In tow.
''Heave to, or I'll fire." cried Hol-
ton.
Still no reply, but the propeller Of
the tug could be heard churning the
water in excess speed.
Without further word, Holton snatch
ed the rife from the sailors hand, took
quick aim, and let dive. AS response,
there came five shots In rapid success
sion from the tug, the bullets rafting
through the Gnat's funnel and venti-
lators.
Full speed ahead" cried Holton, in
full exaltation at hearing for the first
time the whistle of bullets discharged
in anger. Right into her." he added,
forgetful of his boats "tin bow"-"run
her down."
When within hundred feet the
,Gnat sheered off, made a detour, and
rounded to in front of the tugs bow.
Stop" yelled Holton, leveling the
rifle. Stand by that machine gun, "
he added in a low tone to the man at
his side.
The tug stopped abruptly, but not a
sound came from her.
What boat Is that?" called Holton.
No reply.
AS the bow Of the torpedo boat
rasped against the tenders of the
stranger, Holton, his pistol in hand
leaped over her guards to the deck
Three Of his men followed.
Then, as though by magic, shadowy
forms arose. A dark figure moved
