Fruits and Vegetables.

Apples-The apple movement in To-
cal jobbing avenues is becoming more
pronounced but values are holding
about the same as for the past couple
of weeks. The quality is good and
demand is also good r- r
Other Fruits-Lemons receded this
week from the high levels attained
last week and are quoted at $9.50@10
for fancy and 50 for choice. Giants are
also cheaper this week, having
dropped from $1.25@1.75 to s5c@S1.50.
Peaches are coming to hand in large
quantities and are jobbing at 40@75c.
California grapes are easier at $1.25
@1.50, as is also pears at S1@1.50.
Washington grapes are now in the
market and jobbing at soc per crate
for sweet water, 60@7Oc for black
hamburg and SOC per basket for Con-
cords.
Potatoes-There has been some fluc-
tuation in the local spud market dur
ing the week, but the margin on the
whole has not varied from last
port.
Other getables-Tomatoes 80,
down this week to SOC from 50@75c
last week Green corn is now quoted
at $1.50 per sack and beans are out
of the market Squash is now on the
market and jobbing at soc per box,
with the summer variety at 12c per
pound. Pumpkin is also in and Of
fered at coo per dozen.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Advices that the war in
Europe would likely be of long dura-
ton and the clearing to considerable
extent of the obstacles preventing the
expectation of this commodity, has
caused a sharp advance in wheat
prices during the. week. The exhaust
ing of old crop supplies in milling
hands thereby putting them in the
market for new crop stock has also
been factor in the situation tending
to enhance values. Another factor to
be taken into account is the apparent
inclination on the part of the growers
to hold onto their grain in anticipation
of further advances. In view of these
conditions it is hard to place values,
but at the moment the quotations are
9015c for bluestem, sic for club and
7715c for red Russian.
Flour-The conditions in the wheat
market may also to a certain extent
be reflected in -four values, as ad-
vances in wheat necessarily cut down
the margins on flour, and unless mill
ers advance the price they stand to
have their profits cut down. In the
local market some of the mills ad
vanced the price Of flour zoe per bar
rel last Friday, and while there is ap
parently some reason for this ad
vance, it was not general as some
brands remained at the former quota
lions of $3.50 for firsts and $4.65 fol
seconds.
Feed-There has been an advance
nearly all along the line in feed
prices. Under the revised schedule
the following figures are given: Tim
othy hay, SIG; bran, $23; bran an6
shorts, S24; shorts, $32; feed wheat
$31; barley, 1874; rolled barley, $25
oats, $27; steam rolled oats, $2S.

From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
 The first steps toward the organiz- ation of a county teachers assocla- tion were taken just before the ad- iournment of the annual county instl- tute in this city yesterday afternoon. The teachers present voted unanl- mously to organize such an associa- tion and will meet in this city on Sat urday, July 25, for the purpose of perfecting the organization. It is eX- pected the association will have one of the largest memberships of any organization in the state
 The teachers also adopted resolu- ton unanimously recommending that the county court reappoint Prof. J.. M. C. Vaughter as county examiner for Faulkner county. Prof. Waugh ter's present term will expire in Oc- tober. During his term the attend ance at the county institutes has been almost tripled and he is very popular among the teachers of the county.
 The Faulkner County Contest As sociation was reorganized after the close of the institute by the election of Prof. J. P. Akridge as president and Miss Lucy Brady of Enola as secretary. Four section contests in Reclamation, recitation, spelling and map drawing will be held on the last two Saturdays in August and the final county contest, to be participat- ed in by the winners of the section contests, will be held at Holland on Saturday, September 5. President Akridge appointed the following ex- ecutive committee to be in charge of the contests, acting with County Ex- aminer Vaughter: Allen Webb, c. l.. Bryant and c. c. Blair.

SHOWER BREAKS
 6 WEEKS DROUTH
RAINFALL HERE .43 INCH
MANY SECTIONS OF COUNTY AND STATE VISITED BY
 NEEDED SHOWERS.

A drouth which has continued ex~ actly six weeks at Conway was par lilly relieved by shower which fell here about 8 o'clock this morning. The precipitation, however, according to the government guage, amounted to only .43 inch, but it came as a great relief and as the weather is still unsettled the indications are that the long period of drouth and intense heat will be broken. Showers and cooler weather are forecasted for to- night and Tuesday.
 Conway was apparently on the southern border of this mornings of the city limits, but it is reported that there were heavy showers north of the city, extending at least as far as Wooster and along the Cadron. Two good showers fell on Col J. E. Little's plantation on the river this morning, but only a sprinkle occurred on L. B. Atkeison's farm and other places on the upper river bottom. Rains are also reported on Round Mountain and at Palarm, and many other sections of the county are be- lieved to have been visited by show CTS
 The rain came in the nick of time to save old corn, which was beginning to suffer badly. It will also be a great benefit to cotton, especially where the drolItb has reSl1lted in had stands
 The last previous rain of any con- sequence occurred at Conway on May 4, six weeks ago today. Barring two light sprinkles, IA inch on May 12 and .03 inch on May IF, there was not a drop of rain here until today since May 1, and the total precipitation since April 30 amounts to only 1.43 inches, about one-fourth the normal precipitation for the period.

NO RAIN IN EAST
 PORTION OF COUNTY

According to the reports of the Log Cabin Democrat correspondents the showers of Monday and Tuesday were confined principally to the western half of the county, and there was lit tie or no rain in the eastern half, al- though a few scattered showers have been reported in the latter portion. The northwestern quarter of Faulk- ner, however, was visited by copious showers, Wooster and Damascus re- porting an ample amount of precipi- tation. Mt. Vernon, Hamlet, Holland and several other places in east Faulkner report no rain, but in most cases it is said that the crops are not yet badly damaged by the drouth.

COURSE
 UNUSUALLY FINE
ROBSON STAR LECTURER
COMMITTEE FROM SCHOOLS AN. NOUNCE TALENT BOOKED
 FOR NEXT SEASON.
From Tuesdays Daily

From TuesdAys DafD
 What is declared to be decidedly the finest array of talent ever secured fol Conway has been booked for the ly- ceum course of 1914-15 in this city by the committee representing the four educational institutions here The course consists of seven attrac- tions, including three lecturers, one Isinger, one musical company, one reader and one magician. Capt. Rich mond Pearson Hobson, the Merrimac hero, recently defeated for the United States senate by Oscar w. Under wood, is the star lecturer of the course, although Dr. Thomas E. Green is regarded as the peer of any plat form speaker in America. The list of attractions follows:
 Dr. Thomas E. Green.-Dr. Green is one of the most experienced lec- turers on the platform. His strength as a lecturer is based on two qualities he has something to say and he says lit we'll Dr. Green will lecture on "The World Peace Movement. Years of travel and study have made him one of the authorities on this subject.
 Dr. Russell Conwell.-Dr. Conwen is one of the best known men on the lyceum platform. He is a man with message and is able to deliver it with fire and vigor He will lecture on Acres of Diamonds
 Madam Scotney-Madam Scotney lis a soprano singer, the protege of Melba. While she has not yet the reputation of Madam Melba, she comes with the endorsement of Melba and is said by competent critics to give promise of becoming as great as that noted singer.
 Captain Richmond P. Hobson.-lt IS unnecessary to introduce this lecturer to the public except to say that in ad- dition to his numerous other qualities he is one of the greatest public speak CTS in America today. He first came into prominence in the Spanish-Amer- ican War through his daring deed of sinking the Merimac at the mouth of Santiago Harbor He was later elected to Congress from Alabama and has taken an active part in the discussion of all public questions. He is now regarded as the national leader of the prohibition forces. He will speak on "The Great Destroyer" Miss Willmer.-Miss Willmer is a reader of rare attainment. She comes to ne well recommended and bids fair to be one of the most entertaining numbers that we will have.
 Hampton Court Singers.-This IS musical organization of high class. They will give varied program and will greatly please their hearers.
 Edwin Brush.-Edwin Brush IS magician of high rank. He is truly the man of mystery. He will pre- sent a program of rare interest which will be both entertaining and profita- ble.

ADDITIONAL LOAN or S4,OOO SOUGHT SCHOOL PLANS BLOCKED UNDERESTIMATE OF BUILDING COST GIVES BOARD HARD
 PROBLEM.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
 An underestimate of $4,000 in the cost of erecting the anneXes and in stalling plumbing, heating and sewer age connections at the Conway school building has given the local board an- other hard nut to crack. and unless this additional amount can be bor- rowed the plans for improvement will probably have to be abandoned for the present. Secretary w. B. Hubbell is Iendeavoring today to induce Speer & Dow, the Fort Smith banking firm who agreed to purchase the second mortgage bond issue, to grant an ad. ditional loan of $4,000 in order that the work on the improvement may proceed. He said he believed this extra amount could be secured, but it would probably require several days to close the matter up. The school board several weeks ago made arrangements with this firm to secure second mortgage loan of not less than $13,000 nor more than $21,- 900. One of the purposes of the loan was to retire an old second mortgage bond issue held by Halter Bros, of this city, on which default had been made. It was also necessary to in- stall sewerage conections and provide additional room, as many of the class rooms were overcrowded. After giv- ing the matter a great deal of thought, the board decided upon erecting two wings, one at either end of the pres ent school building, the annexes to be one story, with large basement, pro- viding eight additional class rooms, with toilet rooms in the basement. Architect c. L. Thompson prepared plans for these anneXes, estimating the total cost of the improvements at S12,500. This would take up the max imum amount agreed upon with the bond-buyers, and add considerably to the indebtedness of the district, but the board decided upon the improve ments, which it was estimated would care for the growth of the school for at least five years to come.
 When the bids were opened yester- day afternoon, however, it was found that the lowest offer would cost ap- proximately $4,000 more than the ar chitect's estimates. The problem was discussed for several hours, the board finally instructing Secretary Hubbell to communicate with the Fort Smith bankers and ascertain whether they would add $4,000 to the amount they had agreed to loan. If this can be done, the work will be begun at once, otherwise the erection of the annexes will have to be postponed indefinitely.
 At it's meeting yesterday the board reorganized for the ensuing year by the reelection of D. O. Harton as president and Mr. Hubbell as secre- tary The president announced the appointment of the following con- mittees:
 Visiting-W. B. Hubbell, B. T. Deal and s. G. Smith.
 Finance-J. w. James, s. G. Smith and w. B. Hubbell.
 Building-B. T. Deal J. E. Little and s. c. Smith
 Auditing-B. T. Deal, J. E. Little and J. W. James.
