SLIGHT CHANGES! MADE
 IN RURAL ROUTES

Effective Tuesday of this week a slight change was made in R. F. D. routes l and 3 out of Springdale, the changes affecting those portions of the routes west of town. Instead of going north from the residence of. Vim. Cox as formerly route l, now goes east from that point by the residence of Bob Norman and others and by Oak Grove school house inter secting the old route near the resi- dence of MI. Standefer. Route 5 is changed to run south from the Mich ols corner. past the home of Calvin Holcomb and intersecting the Spring da'e and Elm Springs road goes by the homes of Vim. Holeomb, George Aaron, John Huffma ster and on to in tersect old route. The change was made by the Postoffice Department on petition of a number of patrons who will get mail at their doors as result. This leaves that portion of the main Springdale and Elm Springs road from the corner leading to Oak Grove to the corner leading to Calvin Holcombs off the route, and as re suit Newt Baggett will have to go U the former corner for his mail while Wilse Phillips goes to the lat ter corner

SMALL ATTENDANCE AT PARK MEETING HELD
 MONDAY AFTERNOON

Very few ladies were present at the residene of Mrs. L. D. Petross Monday afternoon at the meeting called for the purpose of organizing Whether the small att ndance was due to the indictment weather, lack of interest in the project, or insuf- ficient notice, is unknown, but from whatever cause The News does not believe the ladies of Springdale are going to pass up the proposition as offered them by the City Council, when the improvement of our park is in direct line with the progressive wave now sweeping fSpringdale. Many Improvements will be made in Spring dale during the coming year, and all should lend their aid and assistance, in whatever way their talents are best suited. The ladies of Springdale are the proper ones to look after the improvement and Identification of olr parks; while the City Council and male citizens look after other i'm proyement details. The City Council has promised financial aid toward the improveme O. the parks, they have promised to donate labor; the business men will donate liberally to- ward such an improvement, and the only Iacking feature is the advice of the ladies of the town, as to the proper way to make the improve ments. Surely the ladies are not going to desert this important move before the project can be fairly put under way. The News promises to lend all aid possible, and moves the reconsideration Of the question by the ladies at some future time, when weather conditions will be more fav- orable.

HIGH
 SCHOOL WILL
 BE CONTINUED
Necessary in Expense List at High School-Teaching Staff Will Probably be Cut to Three Teachers-Citizens Asked to Raise
 $1,OOO to Relieve Financial Situation

An open meeting of the School Board was held at the Mayors office Saturday night for the purpose of dis cassing the situation and condition of the finances of the school district. The meeting was not as largely atten ed as the importance of the subject demanded, but short talks were made by quite number of those present, and it was the opinion of all that the schools of Springdale should be maintained just as at present, could plans be made to tide over the this, it has been found necessary to make some retrenchments in the way Of the expenses of operating the High School, and members of the Board present stated that plan was now u der consideration by the Board to make some radical changes at the High School that will cut down the heavy expenses to a minimum. The Board is not ready at present to make public their intentions, but it is understood that the teaching force at the High School will be made smaller and while five teachers are now em- ployed it is understood that only three will be employed for next year. Other minor curtailments will be made in the expense account at the High School, and will be made public soon.
 There seems to be prevalent in SpringdaI6 an under current of public feeling that the Grammar School has been partially neglected in the rush for model high school in Springdale and in some of the talks made at the meeting Saturday night this subject of neglectin. the little folks at the Grammar School was spoken of once Or twice. Public opinion, in an under current way has criticized the pres eat Board for neglect of the Cram mar School, and it is now felt that this criticism was unjust and without foundation, as all members of the Board at the meeting Saturday night openly stated that they were in position where financial aid was badly needed, and that the funds that had been derived from the school tax was not sufficient to maintain the schools and also take care of the bonds and advisability of improving conditions at the Grammar School was ably dis eussed, and while somewhat crowd ed condition now exists at the Gram mar School building, it is thought

SPRINGDALE NOT AFFEC- TED BY NEW RULING ON
 SECOND GLASS CITIES

Sulphur Springs, March B.
 Mayor Wells has announced that
 special election to elect d new
 set of city officers will be held
 April 6. Although the present of
 ficers have not served their terms
 out they will be dismissed in com
 pliance with the ruling making all
 second class cities with a popula-
 tion under 2,500 unconstitutional
 Both Sulphur Springs and Gray
 cite petitioned the state legisla-
 ture to give them rights Of the
 second class cities and have made
 improvements that otherwise they
 could not have made. Grayette
 also will hold a special election
 for new officers, Mayor Foster
 having resigned.
 The above article appeared in Sun- days issue of the Southwest Ameri- can, and some Springdale folks were wondering if Springdale would be in- cluded in the list Of "unconstitution- al cities It is known from reliable sources that Springdale became a city of the second class by counting noses" and not by any special act oT the legislature.
 Act 306, of the Arkansas legislature of 1909, provides that towns with a population exceeding 2000 inhabitants shall become cities of the second class. Immediately after the passage Of this act an enumeration was taken of Springdale, and it fell short of tions were taken at different times, and finally by inheritance, and by hay ing the people, Springdale became a city of the second class, the town then proceeding under laws governing such cities.
 Sulphur Springs became city of tn" second class by special act of the legislature, Act 370 of the legis. lature Of 1909.
 Gentry became a second class city by special act No. 8. of the legisla- ture of 1913
 Gravette became a city Of the sec ond class by Act No. 36 of the legisla ture of 1911.
 Twenty-four other towns in Arkan- sas, including Prairie Grove. became cities of the second class by special acts in 1911.
 A new ruling. has been handed down declaring these special acts un- constitutional and the Benton County towns Of Sulphur Springs. Gravette, are considerably wrought ID over the change. Springdaie became q second class city by having the required mum Der of inhabitants. and under the proper laws, and consequently can not be affected by the new ruling.

Prof. Robb has given the matter quite a bit of study and attention, and is able to give a proper understanding of the situation and also suggests remedies to take care of the deficiency.
 A motion was made by l.. D. Pet ross, that it be the choice of the meeting that the Springdale High School be maintained by all means, and that the Board undertake to raise by popular subscription the sum Of 5000 to aid the funds on hand and that this sum be used to aid the High School

Washington, June I'm a statement
made public to the American people
today, President Wilson served notice
on the factional leaders Of Mexico that
until that time that they can unite to
set UP a government which would rec
oncile the people, the United States
will be constrained to use what means
should be employed by the United
States to help Mexico save herself and
serve her people"
SIGNALLING departure from
"watchful waiting" the policy which
has guided the relations with Mexico
for more than two years. the presi-
dents statement is regarded every
where in official and diplomatic quar-
ters as notice of new and vigorous
policy to restore peace below the Rio
Grande.
Everywhere is 1t interpreted as a
warning that the patience of the Unit
ed States is exhausted. What steps
the president proposes to take if his
warning goes unheeded are not dis
closed in the statement. In high Of
fetal quarters everywhere no doubt ex-
listed that he purposed to proceed.
The warning went forward by tele-
graph to the American agents, who
will deliver 1t to the factional leaders
at the same time. 1t was made public
at the White House at noone, after a
slight delay in the announcement,
while some minor changes were made
in the text.
The presidents statement follows:
For more than two years revolu-
tionary conditions have existed in
Mexica, The purpose of the revolution
was to rid Mexico of men who ignored
| the constitution Of the republic an6
used their power In contempt Of the
rights of it's people and with these
purposes the people of the United
States instinctively and generously
sympathized. But the leaders of the
revolution in the very hour of their
success, has disagreed and turned their
arms against one another.
"All protesting the same objects,
they are. nevertheless, unable or un-
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner set
up than 1t is undermined and its au-
thority denied by those who were ex-
pected to support 1t.
Mexico apparently is no nearer a
solution of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first
kindled. And 80 has been swept by
civil war as if by a fire. Her crops are
destroyed, her fields lie idle unseeded,
her work cattle are confiscated for the
use of armed factions, her people flee
to the mountains to escape being
drawn into unavailing bloodshed and
