 HOME TEAMS

Next Saturday will be a gala day in Green Forest. Three teams from Eureka Springs and three from Harrison will be here to play basket ball. The games will begin at 9 o'clock a. m. and be continuous throughout the day. In interest and importance these games will be second only only to our annual school meet, and ought to be witnessed by everybody in or near Green For est.
 The Green Forest girls have played only two games this sea- son and won both of them. Our boys first team has played three game and won two and lost one. The boys second team has played only one game, which they won.
 This is fine start toward winning the 1916 cups, but to keep it up, our teams must have the moral and financial support of the town. Come out and yell for them Saturday. It will help them immensely and make life brighter and happier for you. and climbing into the booster wagon. It might even start you to moving.
 Who are our boosters, any way?
 Send in your list. We will not publish voters names but want your opinion as to who the boosters are. Do this and then we will tell you more later. Just make out your list and hand it to someone employed at this office or bring it in.

THE HIGH SIGN

If you should happen to meet somewhere in the loop district of Chicago two apparently rational human beings who, upon sighting one another begin to make hyp- notic passes, and who, upon ap- preaching each other, proceed to rub noses, OF bump foreheads, do not on that account jump to con- clusions. Anything is plausible in this jumbled up old world. These are not escaped maniacs from the asylum; neither are they actors in a moving picture drama. They are only the mem bers of the latest secret society. For you must know that since the Sunday c.9sing law has been enforced in Chicago, it is neces- sary, unless one is to go thirsty, to beiong to a society-prefer- ably a secret society and there by to obtain special dispensation. Thus, because of this little loop hole in the law, secret organiza- tions without number have been SDrinping up in the windy city. Among the latest to apply for charters are the Royal Sons of the Umpballuzums, h e Imperial Order of the Sacred Camel, the Rumtetumtums of the Sahara Desert and the Immortal Sons and Daughters of Howdryiam. The sacred password of the inner cir cle $ Here's How" Chicago's motto, it will be remembered, is T will" The motto of these organizations is T don't care fl I do.

%Ao ARE THE BOOSTERS?

Every. town has it's boosters and it's knockers. No community is ever found without them.
 We have a healthy respect and a profound admiration for the booster, but our opinion of the chronic knocker would be un- printable.
 Why cant we all be boosters in this town?
 Why have any knockers at all?
 And that brings a question to our mind. Who are the boosters in this town? Who are the men and women who always have a good word for it? Who are the ones who always speak well of it's people, and of it's past accomplishments, and of it's pros poets for the future?
 We would like nothing better than to have a vote taken by the whole population, with ca c h citizen naming those he or she considers to be boosters. And then we would like to publish the names of the boosters in this paper, and hold them up to the public as just what they are our most progressive citizens. When you have a little spare time suppose you just sit down and write out the names of the twenty people-men or women who in your judgement are the greatest boosters for our town. It will give you quite an insight into the characters of many people, for it will cause you to weigh their good qualities with their bad ones, their virtues with their vices, and their pro- gressiveness with their slumbers.
 You may tell your friends what you are doing and ask them tc do the same, and then all of you could hand your lists of twenty in at this office and we could tabulate them and announce the result in these columns.
 It would be a deserved recognition of the sterling qual- ities of the boosters-of the twenty greatest boosters-and il might even spur others up to the point of hustling for our towr

PETITION DRAFTED FOR MORE PAVING NEW DISTRICT PLANNED THREE DISTRICTS MAY COM ZINE TO LET BIG PAW
 ING CONTRACT.

The preliminary organization of a fourth street paving district in Con-
 way has been assured by a petition containing the names of more than double the required number of prop erty-owners, asking that the district be created. The new district will
 provide for the paving of the west side of the public square, from Oak to Main street; Main street to Locust avenue; south on Locust avenut to College avenue; west on College ave
 nue to Mitchell street, and north on Center street from College avenue to Caldwell street. It will thus join the paving to be laid by district Mo- 3 at i two places, the northwest corner of the public square and Center and
 Caldwell streets. The petition for the district is being circulated by c. w.
 Jones and will be presented at the
 next meeting of the city council, next
 Tuesday night.
 With the presentation of the first petition, which is only required to con- tain the names of 10 property
 in the district, an ordinance creating
 and outlining the district will be
 passed, after which it will be neces- sary for a second petition, bearing 1 the names of a majority in value of the property owners, to be signed, in order to complete the organization of the district. Those favoring the new ! l,,+,; @Lo@ +l,,, I easily be obtained.
 The improvement board of district
 No. 3, at meeting yesterday after
 noon, decided to defer the award of a contract for paving until the new dis trict is formed and also until the or
 eanization of district No. ?, for the paving of North Front and Stell
 streets, is perfected. A special act
 of the legislature to permit college
 and church property to be assessed for improvement district taxes had to be passed in order to enable district
 No. to complete it's organization. This bill, introduced by Mr. Condray, has become a law and the promoters
 of this district expect to begin work
 at an early date.
 The three districts will provide for
 more than two miles of street paving,
 all of which will probably be laid this
 summer. It is believed that by let
 ting contracts jointly for all three
 districts a considerable saving can be
 effected and the bonds sold to a better advantage.

S4OU,OOO FOR 4
 FARM SCHOOLS SENATE PROVES LIBERAL.
APPROPRIATIONS ARE IN. CREASED INSTEAD OF RE-
 DUCED IN UPPER HOUSE.

Little Rock, March 6.-Working two days upon the appropriation for the four agricultural schools, the senate
 finally completed them in a committee
 of the whole Friday afternoon without
 change in the recommended appro- puatlons for the Jonesboro and Rus sellVllle schools with Q raise of SS.O5O for thme Magnolia school, and re- duction of $750 in the Monticello school. The senate went right back
 into a committee of the whole then and when they were through with the budget committee recommendation for the expenses of conducting the feed
 and fertilizer inspection under the de-
 partment of mines, manufactures and agriculture, 1t resembled nothing more
 than what Johnnie shot at" for every reference to an appropriation had been removed This bill carried an appropriation of $71 400
 In the forenoon session on Friday the senate had finally disposed of the Magnolia school appropriation, rais- illS iN Io TcOtCOo- lie iIiSl lIlIIlS Ol the afternoon was the Monticello school, and Senator Collins, who stand sponsor for thos district, saved his bacon by good natured parrics at the battie-aXe brigade, running them to cover on every item they sought to
 reduce. and the only reduction they
 made he agreed to. The only other amendment placed on the bill was to prevent nepotism in the appointment of teachers, and to prevent the teach
 CTS from riding on railroad passes,
 or at least the senate declined to
 sanction it, claiming that it was in
 violation of the constitution of Ar kansas.
 Senator Ashley and Lundy attempt
 ed to have the sections making appro- priations for the Jonesboro and Rus
 sellvllle schools recOnsidered because
 the printed copies Gf the bills had not
 been delivered when they were con-
 sidered and the senate thereby per
 ritted them to slip by without reduc-
 tion, through ignorance of the items.
 The senate declined,C however, to per
 init this and the commute reported
 the bill back to the senate with the
 recommendation that it do pass .' The four schools will receive about $408.000, of which the Jonesboro
 school gets $113,000, the Russellville school $99,000, the Magnolia school $96,000, and the Monticello school $100,000.
 Senator Lundv led the fight on the
 feed and fertilizer inspection appro-
 priation.

H. s. TRAITOR GETS GOVERNMENT PLACE

A telegram from Washington last night stated that Henry s. Traylor of Conway had been appointed to posi- tion as supervisor of Indian schools, at salary of $9,000 per year, with railroad travelling expenses and $4 per diem for the time he is on duty. The position will require him to travel the greater portion of the time in Ok lahoma, Colorado and other western states.
 Mir. Traylor informed his friends here some months ago that he was slated for appointment to the position he has just secured, but owing to the crowded condition of the congress sional calendar the appointment was delayed. MT. Traylor is a member of the Democratic State Central Com mittee from the Seventeenth judicial district and was one of the campaign managers of both Senators Clarke and Robinson in their recent races.

NO PLAN ADOPTED 10 RAISE REVENUE APPROPRIATIONS LARGER
FORT SMITH WILL STILL RE. TAIN COMMISSION FORM
 OF GOVERNMENT.

Little Rock, March 6.-With four full working days of the session left, the general assembly has not serious ly considered any measure which will increase the revenue of the state, while it has increased appropriations all along the line over those of two years ago. The general appropria- tion bill exceeds that of 1913 by over S200,00O. Pressure will now be brought on Governor Hays to have him veto a portion of them, as well as to have him sign them.
 The general assembly will make no change in the act creating the Fort Smith commission form of govern ment. An intellectual attempt was made by Representative Johnson Fri day morning to reconsider the vote by which his bill to submit the ques- tion to the people had been indegnite- ly postponed. The bill was strenu- ously opposed by his colleagues, Messrs. Woods and Crump, who as-- certed that it is not what the people want Mir. Johnson presented a peti- tion signed by 1,200 citizens of Fort Smith requesting the passage of the bill for the submission of the ques- tion of abandoning the commission form of government.
 A committee consisting of Messrs. Josephs, chairman, Condray, Griffin, Rorex, Rogers of Desha, Bishop and Alexander, has been appointed by the speaker to arrange a program for the closing exercises of the house of rep resentatives next Thursday forenoon.
