FAULKNER COTTON
 ACREAGE 10 BE CUT SHORT CROP EXPECTED
BIG REDUCTION IN USE OF FERTILIZER WILL AF-
 FECT YIELD.

With the arrival of early cotton planting time in Faulkner county, cor respondents of the Log Cabin Demo- crat almost without exception are re- porting considerable reductions in cot ton acreage in their comunities Some of the news reports state that the cut in acreage will amount to as much as one-third, while the opinion seems to be general that Faulkner county will come near r to feeding herself this year than ever before.
 That the recent spurt in the price of cotton which brought the staple nearly to the 10-cent mark will not prevent a big decrease in the amount grown in this county seems to be cer- tain. The amount of land planted to wheat and oats last fall will alone cut off no small portion from the cot ton acreage, while practically every farmer in the county is this spring increasing his acreage in corn and oats. Another factor will be the in ability of many share-croppers who
 suffered from last years disaster to get furnished this year, thus prob ably causir Q much land to lie idle. Besides the acreage reduction the decreased use of fertilizer will have q large influence on the crop in this county. Enforced economy has caused the farmers to refuse to purchase commercial fertilizer, several hundred ears of which have been marketed at Conway each spring for a number of years. It seems to be the opinion of lo al dealers that the amount used this year will not be one-third as great as last year.
 The prlce of cotton is maintaining it's recent big gain and showing fur ther slight increases. The few bales brought to the Conway market during the past few days have sold at an average of about 1-2 cents.

PAVING PETITION
 GOES 10 COUNCIL NEW DISTRICT ASKED
COUNCIL EMPHATIC IN REFU. SAL TO LICENSE POOL OR
 BILLIARD HALL.

The formal petition for the organ lzatlon of fourth street paving dis trlct in Conway was filed with the city council last night. In order to allow the attorney time in which to prepare Jhe ordinance creating the district the council adjourned until Thursday afternoon at , o'clock, at which time the ordinance will be passed.
 With the exception of slight cur Jailment of the proposed paving on the west end of College avenue, the district IS the same as has previously been outlinel in the Log Cabin Demo- crat, and will provide for paving the west side of the public square from West Oak to Main street; West Main street to Locust avenue; Locust ave nue, to College avenue; College ave nue, to Center street, and Center street to Caldwell street. The new district will thus join district No. 3 at two points, the northwest corner of the public square and at Caldwell and Center streets. As nearly as pos sible one-half of each block on either side of the street to be paved is in- cluded in the district.
 The council very emphatieally re- fused to grant a petition presented by B. T. Ingram asking that license be granted for the operation of a pool and billiard hall here. The petition recited that a recent supreme court decision invalidated the local ordi- nance prohibiting the operation of such places and stated that the peti- tioner was willing to pay reasonable license for the operation of the hall lengthy resolution was introduced y Alderman J. R. Donnell, declaring that pool and billiard halls would be an unmitigated evil "a resort for oafers and idiers, where plans and plots against law and morals would quite likely be formed, and would cost the city $60 to $75 per month to police such a place. The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, pledged the council to use all its influence and means to enforce the ordinance against the operations of pool rooms, billiard halls, etc.
 Reports were submitted by the may or and the city treasurer and were re ferred to the finance committee. Ac- counts amounting to $673.37, of which $2S9.S7 were refunds to taxpayers in street paving district No. 1, were al lowed.

Paper and Papyrus.

The newspapers of today are printed
on paper composed almost or quite all
of wood fiber. The result is that in Il
few years the paper. as it becomes thor
oughly dry, will break and crumble.

the name of paper. and the roll or
''volumen" of manuscript of old Rome
is the origin of the term volume" ap-

When the excavations of Pompeli
were first conducted many charred
rolls were found. These at first were
thought to be half burned sticks. They
were carefully unrolled and found TO
be examples of classic literature. Boxes
of these rolls were carried from place
to place as wanted. Representations of
