A weli-known advertising man
said recently
THE world is full of people
who want to render service and
. cannot find anyone to serve.
"On the other hand. there are
multitudes Of people who cannot
find anyone to serve them.
"The newspaper is the only
medium for getting together the
people who wish to serve and
those who wish the service"
That. in a few words, sums up
the aim and scope of advertis-
ing in a live newspaper like the

BULLDOGS OFF FOR
 2CAMfS TOMORROW

The Hendrix College basketball quintet, accompanied by Coach w. M. Headrick, will depart tomorrow for Crossett, where games will be played tomorrow and Saturday. Crossett has one of the fastest lives in the state and should make it interesting for the Bulldogs. Coach Headrick told a Log Cabin Democrat reporter today that shift in the lineup of the Hen drix team probably will be made, which he hopes will change their luck. On recent three game trip the Bull dogs got the little end of the score in each contest.
 It is probable that the following will make the trip tomorrow: Cap tain Holmes, Giles, Anderson, Harton, Wilson, Mccormack and McQuistion.

ADMINISTERS JUSTICE
 WITH A BUGGY WHIP
COURT HAS NEGRO BOYS FATHER TO APPLY PROP
 FER PUNISHMENT.

Justice of the Peace G. M. Easter wood this morning adopted an un- usual means of inflicting punishment upon a negro boy, 16 years old, found guilty in his court of stealing some coal from w. L. Robins, a local deal CT. The trial was had yesterday aft ernoon and the court withheld it's judgment. Come back here tomor- row morning and bring your father with you," Justice Easterwood told the boy.
 When Otho Petty, the boys father, came to the office with him this morn- ing, well-constructed buggy whip was seen lying on the justices desk. "If you'll take that whip said MT. Easterwood, land lay it onto that boy until l tell you to stop, I'll let him off without a fine" Petty administered the chastisement to the satisfaction of the court and the boy was released. His brother, who is accused of the same crime, is scheduled to receive the same course of treatment in the justices office tomorrow.
 Justice Easterwood said today that a number of local boys, both white and black, have been stealing coal and selling it in 50 and 100 pound lots.

CONDRAY DRAFIINC
 GOOD ROADS BILL
TO COVER THIS COUNTY
WILL INTRODUCE MEASURE PROVIDING FOR IMPROVE
 MENT DISTRICTS.

Representative c. E. Condray has informed the Log Cabin Democrat that he is at work on draft of a bill to provide means whereby the people of Faulkner county may bor- row funds through bond issue for the purpose of building permanent roads, and that the measure will probably be presented to the legisla- ture some time next week. MT. Con- dray's bill will not organize any cer- tain portions of the county into dis tricts, but will provide that improve ment districts may be organized for road-building purposes in any part of the county, similar to the improve ment districts in cities for paving and other Improvements. The assent of a majority of the people and property in the districts will be required before bonds can be issued.
 The bill will be somewhat similar to an act now in force in Lonoke county, where eight or more road inn provement districts have been formed and where more permanent highways have been constructed during the past year than any other county in the state. Under the proposed law the improvement districts may be formed by petition of the landowners in any proposed district. MT. Condray has not yet completed the draft of his bill, and stated that he would be glad to receive suggestions from the peo- pie of the county as to it's provisions before presenting the bill to the legis- lature.
 Sentiment in the county is appar- ently rapidly growing in favor of building permanent roads by issuing bonds, and the large minority vote against the road tax in this county last September is taken to indicate that many people are dissatisfied with the present system of road improve ment and desire some legislation whereby permanent roads may be built.
 Representative Condray has intro duced at the request of the promoters of the district, bill to repeal the act of 1909 creating the Cadron Lock and Dam District, which includes a large scope of territory in Faulkner and Conway counties. When the district was created it was planned to reclaim several thousand acres of overflow land in the bottoms of Cadron creek, by constructing a dam across the creek near Gleason, thus preventing backwater from the Arkansas river from inundating the lands. After the surveys had been made, however, it was decided to abandon the project and the bill to repeal the act creating it has been presented in the lower house. A few weeks ago, Prof. G. H. Burr, who was employed to make the surveys for the district, brought suit in the Faulkner circuit court for ST. 400 for services rendered. This suit was continued at the recent term of court and it is not known what effect the dissolution of the district would have upon the case in court.

STATEWIDE BILL STARTED IN SENATE IMPORTANT GENERAL ACT IN BOTH HOUSES DURING WEDNESDAYS
 SESSIONS.

Little Rock, Jan. 21.-One of the first genuine fights on the floor of the house came up over a bill by MT. Flndley of Craighead to raise the standard of teaching in the state by regulating the issuance of licenses and after hard fight, in which very strong arguments were made by it's opponents, the bill was defeated by a vote of 39 to 54.
 MT. Josephs of Miller introduced the bill agreed upon by a sub-comit- tee of the Association of Attorneys General at recent conference in Des Molnes, providing for uniform "blue sky law regulating the sale of secu- rites and stocks. Attorney General Moose of Arkansas was member of the committee which drafted the measure. It creates the Arkansas Se curities Commission, which shall take the place of the present "blue sky'' de partment of the State Bank Con- mission.
 Like the morning session of the sen- ate, the afternoon proceedings went until just before the close for the fire works. It came in the morning ses- sion in the White statewide prohibit tion bill; in the afternoon in a bill by Senator Calvert of Sebastian, per hitting cities of 10000 inhabitants to vote on Sunday baseball. Immediate ly after the bill had been read Sena- tor Toler of Grant moved to definite ly postpone This brought Senator Calvert to the floor with a plea to let the bill be read a second time. He called attention to the stipulation of the bill that the people were to pass upon the measure if it passed, and that it would not affect rural com munitieS.
 Senator Jones of Pulaski made a rather lengthy speech pleading for the masses, that they might enjoy a bit of harmless recreation on the Sab- bath and answered the questions to him by Senator Cabaniss, a minister; Senator Brawner and Senator Toler.
 The debate was waxing warm and the hour growing late when Senator Moore moved a postponement of fur ther consideration of the bill until 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, which motion prevailed.
 The afternoon session of the sen- ate was productive of a number of bills, among them being general acts by Senator Ruff, abolishing the coun- ty boards of health and substituting a county health officer; by Davenport, to require the budget committee to in- troduce all state appropriation bills within thirty days; by Burgess, to authorize the attorney general to bring suit against officials indebted to the state; by Calvert and Lundy, to permit the transfer of school children to adjoining districts; by Toler, pro- viding constitutional amendment to make terms of state officers four years and providing the recall; Col lins and Jones, to fix the compensa- tion and working hours for women; and Owens, prohibiting circuit and lesser courts to license persons to practice law.
 The senate passed Ruff's sand and gravel bill.
