RATE IS REDUCED
 TO BIG CONSUMERS
WATER PRICES REVISED
BOY SCOUTS ASK CITY COUN- GIL FOR GROUND FOR SWIM
 MING POOL.

The schedule of rates for city water the city council last night, sliding scale being adopted, running from 25 cents per thousand gallons for 5000 gallons or less monthly consumption to 10 cents per thousand gallons for 1,000,000 gallons or more monthly consumption. The change was made upon application of the City Ice Plant, which has been consuming in excess of 100000 gallons monthly and claimed the rates under the old sched- ule for this large quantity to be ex- cessively high. The ordinance was passed without dissenting vote, all members of the council being present.
 The Conway Boy Scouts made a proposition to the council to construct la concrete swimming pool on the lots belonging to the city at the electric light plant, and asked that the city give them the privilege of using the ground for that purpose and also SUD- ply water to keep the tank filled. 1t was pointed out that this would not only be a fine acquisition for the boys of the city, but would also be benefit and protection to the light and water plants. Under the present system power for the pumping station is fur nished by the electric plant, which in turn depends upon the pumping sta tion for water for it's boilers. In event of breakdown at the pumping sta ton the electric plant would be se- riously handicapped by lack of water, but with swimming pool of the di- mensions proposed, four or five-day supply of water would always be available from it. The matter was re- ferred to the improvement committee for consideration.
 The second petition of Street Inn provement District No. 2 was filed with the council, and is said to con- tain the signatures of a majority in value of the property in the district, which includes North Front street from the terminus of District No. l to Hendrix College. The council set August 28 as the time for hearing ob- jections to the petition, if any are to be offered.
 Mayor Jones submitted a report on the work of substituting iron for wood water mains in the business paving district, showing the cost of making the change to be $2,4O1.66. Of this amount $1, ,5OO was paid by the water works district and $850 by the paving district, leaving a balance of about $50 as yet unpaid.
 Accounts were allowed amounting to S123.01.

EDITOR SEES SIGNS OF
 PROGRESS AT CONWAY

There is every sign of progress in the church at Conway where Brother k. R. Steel is rounding out his four years service as pastor. No four years in the history of this church has marked greater advancement and progress along all lines. The mem- bership has grown steadily, and the material interests and enterprises of the church have developed to re- markable degree There is now in progress of erection one of the most elaborate and imposing church build ings to be found in the whole state. It will be a credit to Methodism in Ar kansas and monument to the wise leadership of the pastor and his faith full board of stewards. This editor had teh pleasure of preaching to that congregation Sunday before last, at which time the question of putting the paper into every home was discussed and meeting of the board was called for last Monday night. Following that meeting the paper was put into every family of that great church, 1O6 new families being added to the already large list, making now more than 200 families in Conway that are reading the paper.

If you ever saw anyone made SICK by calomel you won't want any more calomel yourself. There's no real req son why a person should take calomel anyway, when fifty cents will buy a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone good remedy that perfectly and safely takes the place of dangerous calomel, which is only another form of deadly and poisonous mercury.
 Dodsons Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting vegetable liquid which will start the liver just as surely as calo- mel, and which has absolutely no bad after-effects.
 Children and grown people can take Dodson's Liver Tone without any re- striction of habit or diet. Greeson Drug Company sell and guarantee it to take the place of calomel, and will refund your money at once If 1t fails in your case. (adVt.)

 ON WRONG DAY

Little Rock, Aug. 11.-There seems to be some confusion in certain quar- ters about the date of the general election. Sevier county, for instance, has issued proclamation calling the election for Monday, September 7. This is in accordance with section 2762 of Kirby's Digest, Act of Janu- ary 23, 1875, which provides that the general election shall be held on the first Monday in September. This was amended by Act of March 8, 1907, to read the second Monday in Septem- Der, which this year falls on the 14th
 Attention is called to the coinci- dence that the bond amendment, Mo- IA, will be voted on September IA, 1914.

CALLS ATTENTION TO
 SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK

Supt. J. P. Womack has asked the Log Cabin Democrat to remind the public school pupils to get ready for the opening of the school bank. He wishes to have deposit from every child. No matter how small the de- posit it will be just as acceptable as a large one.
 The school will handle tablets, pens, pencils, practice paper, etc., this year. The goods will be sold at the regular market price and the profits will be turned back to the depositors of the bank in the way of dividends. So, if child wishes to share in the profits of the supply room, he must become a patron of the bank.
 Further and more detailed an nouncements, vSupt. Womack says, will be made nter; for the present, let every child be getting his pennies and nickles together.

N. C. HARRIS STORING
 100 TONS OF SILACE

We went up to N. c. Harris farm and inspected the silo he put up last week. They were putting in corn silage ten ton per hour. The silo is one hundred ton capacity. Four men were making things hum around the silo and in it. The silage is cut one and two inches in length, it is a sight to watch the green corn disappear and then see the short stuff falling down in the silo. We congratulate MT. and Mrs. Harris on their good judgment and good fortune to be able to build a silo. They surely will have fat cattle and no end to good milk and butter next winter.
