PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Two accidents among our pupils this week. Dwight Mode has two broken limbs, the result of fall, and Ferdie Haskins is laid up as the re- suit of kick from horse.
 At the preliminary meeting of the boys interested in corn and pig clubs, 6S were present. Next Monday we shall go into formal organization At that time Messrs. Earlier, Hutchins and Jernigan, together with Miss Watson, will speak to the boys and girls interested in this work. Par ents are cordially invited to be pres ent. The auditorium, at 2:3O.
 By an oversight three names were omitted from the honor roll last month. They are: Leota Fiddler, Vii da Adams and Irwin Proctor, all of grade eight.
 Rev. J. B. Stevenson was a well come visitor at chapel Friday.
 Last week was tree planting and gardening time. We made flower beds, hauled fertilizer and planted trees. Who says young people won't work? Nobody around the campus will say it, for a more industrial set was never seen. The only complaint was that there was not enough work to go around.
 Following is copy of the program rendered by the Lanier Literary So- ciety Friday: Reading, Emma Schroe- der; Reclamation, Carey Batson; reading, Stella Jones; exchanges, Fay Blair; piano solo, Heslope Gibbons; locals, William Parks; prophecy of L. l.. S. 25 years hence, Vernon Turner.
 Of the 50 trees planted by the pu- pills last week, most are named, the ones doing the work being allowed to choose the name. There are several Implications, some persons having two or three trees named for them. Following is list, those giving the names not given; Woodrow Wilson,

kansas large percentage of the vines were destroyed by the drouth last summer and it is almost certain that the crop in many section will be light. In this county the plants were not ma- terially damaged and the indications are now for good yield. With the shortage in other sections, MT. Cole believes a fine price will be received for the crop here
 Last year the crop in this section was unusually late and berries from Missouri were thrown on the market at the same time the Arkansas crop was maturing, causing an oversupply and low price.
 About 200 acres are planted in ber- ries in the vicinity of Conway, and it is estimated that about 12 cars will be shipped this year.

SEWER SYSTEM
 NEAR COMPLETION
 . .. OVER 1wO-THIRDS DONE
WORK OF BUILDING SOUTHEAS. TERN DISPOSAL TANK NOW
 IN PROGRESS.

Good weather for the past few weeks has enabled Contractor Joseph
 McCoppin to make rapid progress on the construction of Conway's new sewer system and it is thought but a few weeks will elapse before this big improvement will be completed and ready for use.
 The floor of the big septic disposal tank in the southeastern corner of the city has been laid and the walls are now being erected. B. F. Groom is experimenting the construction of this tank, which will be completed in short time More than two-thirds of the pipe has been laid and the man
 holes and flush tanks have been prac- tically completed wherever the mains have been laid. The ditching machine
 is now at work on the east side of the district, the business district having
 been completed last week.
 On account of unfavorable weather and scarcity of labor through the
 winter months, MT. McCoppin was unable to make as rapid progress on the system as he expected and the six months within which he was to com plete the contract expired on Febru- ary 20. Under his contract he is re- quired to pay for the services of the engineer after that time.
 Engineer Burr's estimate for the month ending March 10, showed con- struction work to the amount. of $1,- 794.18 to have been performed. Of this amount 15 per cent, or $269.12, was retained in addition to $105 for the extra engineering services. Con- tractor McCoppin had previously beeA paid 18,682.45, representing 85 per cent of the work he had done.
 On account of the inability of the board of improvement to purchase a site for the disposal tank southwest of the city, condemnation proceedings for spot of ground in the northeast corner of the property of Henry Err bach, lying south of the State Normal campus, have been brought. This case will be tried before Circuit Judge Eugene Lankford at De Vall's Bluff tomorrow. The court will fix the value of the land to be used and award the amount as damages to the owner.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-European
nations have placed contracts In the
United States for more than 100000
600 worth Of supplies since the begin
ming of the war. according to Charles
M. Schwab, president OF the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation. who returned
from England today on the Lusitania.
MIR. Schwab declared that as a result
OF this buying the United States now
was at the threshold of the greatest
period Of prosperity 1t has seen IN
many years."
MIR. Schwab went to England to can
eel provisional contracts he had made
with the British government for the
building Of submarines. He did this,
he said today, after having been ad-
vised by Secretary Bryan that for an
American concern to supply subma-
rines to any of the bclligerent nations
would be a violation OF neutrality.
The contracts given up. he said. were
worth more than $16.000.000 but he
was unable to secure others while
abroad for the supply of various mu-
nitions OF war. He declined to say
with what nation they had been nego-
tiated.

States will have to face" said Mr..
