 The normal child is a most eager
 seeker after knowledge and the multi tudinous questions with which chil- dren ply us and which often overtax
 our patience are but manifestations of this inborn desire to learn to know
 Hence, if their thoughts are directed into the channels of civics and good citizenship, We shall find it easy to im-
 part the principles which we wish to teach them, once their curiosity is aroused, they will insist upon knowing to the minutest detail and the facts and the reasons therefor.
 In thousand little ways children may help in civic work, but first they
 must be shown how and why-and
 principally why. "Thou shalt not" has little appeal to the child until it is explained to him the need and the cause back of the prohibition. As is truthfully said in the folder I have already referred to "a mere recital of city ordinances affecting certain con- ditions means no more to the child
 than the articles of the constitution
 meant to you in your childhood. They take on a significance to him only when he is face to face with unsani- tary or neglected conditions in his own or his neighbours premises. The
 simple ordinances affecting the child's everyday life; the ordinances pertain
 ing to garbage and refuse, injury to property, protection from fire, milk inspection, cruelty to animals, the set ting out of trees, the cutting of weeds
 in vacant lots and along the roadsides, the removal of snow and ice from the
 dewalSs-these and others become
 real things to him, as do also the Of ficials elected or appointed to manage
 the various municipal departments. But, after all, how the children may help is of little importance as com pared with how they may be helped by carefully teaching them through object lessons that their minds are
 able to grasp the principles of good citizenship and their duties to their civil government. The vast enlarge ment of governmental activities in re- cent years, especially in the realms of education and public health, as well as the rapid extension of direct legisla- ton, makes it of immensely greater importance than the teaching of civics and civic obligations should begin in earliest childhood than was the case even decade ago. And, while have made use of the masculine pronoun in
 referring to the child, it is equal or even greater importance that the same care and attention should be de- voted to the girl children. For they are not only the future wives and mothers of our land, but also, if the present trend of public sentiment con tinues, are to have laid upon them by the time they have attained their ma turity the additional burden and re sponsibility of the franchise.

----=----- ARKWAY THEATRE

In the twelfth episode of "The Mas ter Key" to be shown at the Ar<way tonight the Hindu takes the image he has recovered from the pawnshop back to India and replaces it in the temple from whence it was taken. The pawn ;broker informs Ruth and Dore that the Hindu has recovered the image containing the plans for the mine and they at once set out to overtake him. Dore is about broke and Everett fur nishes him with enough money to take him and Ruth to India. Sir Donald Faversham offers his services in help ing them get possession of the image, he having been previously stationed in India as a British officer.
 Dore finds out the image is in the temple and he sets out on the perilous task of stealing it. In doing so he is captured Sir Donald tells Ruth he will assist in obtaining Dore's release if she will promise to marry him. Torn between conflicting emotions Ruth forces herself to accept his prop osition and Sir Donald obtains Dore s release.

TIE GRAND.

Following it's utilization with Henry w. Savage, recently e-ected, the Fa- nous Players Film Company presents Edward Abeles in four part adapta- tion of Henry w. Savage's tremen- dously successful mystery face, "The Million,' the attraction at the Grand Theatre March 29,
 The Million is a safe and sure cure for the blues," and is absolu- tely fatal to ones dignity The mo- tion picture has been cleverly con- structed, and the settings, of which there are many, are uniformly good.
 "1he Million is a sort of double 3arTeled entertainment. From one barrel the artists in the cast pour an lncessant rapid fire of convulsinc humor upon their audience, while from the other several volleys of mel odramatic thrills are fired.
 The subject is bound to be popular for long time, but may only be seen in Conway at the Grand Monday night.

HIDDEN IS BOOMING.

Because of the probability of locat- ing oil in the vicinity of Higden, prop erty values have increased in leaps and bounds in the last few weeks. A stranger stopped at that place few wools ago and obtained options on a great many tracts of land in that neighborhood and then announced that he had found excellent indica- tions of oil there. The price of prop crty has scared as a result of the ru- nor of the discovery-H Heber springs Headlight.

DOES THE FLY TRANSMIT DIS
 EASE?
 Then think of infantile paralysis l have two little friends, each with an arm and shoulder dropping low and wasting away. There are others, too. They were bitten by the stable fly stomoXys calcitrans-an their pos abilities in the world have been great ly modified.
 This matter has been studied by the United States government and by the Massachusetts State Board of Health. An affected monkey was bitten by a fly and then this fly was allowed to bite another monkey The second monkey became afflicted in the same way; this was proven also by other observers.
 In Southboro, Mass, a family was found with all the children, six in number, stricken with infantile par alysis and two deaths occurred. The stable fly was found in large num- bers ~in the barn, house and in the sick room. This is the fly that often comes into the house in greater num- bers just before a rain and we often think that the biting is a sign of rain. But the common house fly does not bite-it is his relative, the stable fly, does the biting. But both transmit disease.
 Then the next time you see flies on the butter, on the bread, the potatoes, the preserves, or when you feel the stinging bite, remember that there may be the origin of train of troubles that will not end.

The matter of teaching our chil- dren the principles of government and the duties of citizenship is one to which undoubtedly too little attention has been given. These little citizens in the making have been largely left ta learn as best they may, and too of ten from the worst of teachers-the corrupt and vicious, their civic du- ties and the part they must play in managing the affairs of their commu nity, city, state and nation.
 Recently, however, an organized eff fort to meet this need has been made in the creation of a Department of Junior Civic Leagues as branch of the American Civic Association. "Get children to work for their cities and all unconsciously the spirit of good citizenship develops" is the motto of this department, which is being az gressively pushed and ably managed by Miss Maud Van Buren of Wash ington, D. c. A folder recently issued by this department sets forth some of the purposes of the organization.
 "The department believes that nc good and loyal citizenship" it says "can obtain without service; that af- lection for ones city follows self sacrifice for it; that experience and experience only will put the child of today who is the voter and lawmakel of tomorrow on a more intelligent footing than is possessed by many so- called citizens of the present.
 ; "Children are the natural doers of things and this work makes a ready appeal to them. Beginning as the best organized work does with the i'm provement of the home surroundings it is no time before alley, street block, park and general city conditions impress themselves upon the Juniors No sermons need be preached to chil- dren on good citizenship. Get them to work for their cities and all un- consciously the spirit of good citizen ship develops.
 The child has a far higher degree of intelligence and far greater abil- ity to reason and to seek after the facts of life than the average adult gives him credit for. His sense of fairness and justice is often more acute than that of his parents. Based upon the light and the facts before him, his judgment Is as sound and un- erring as that of the profoundest philosopher. He needs only to know the truth. Thus the principles which we would instill into the child's mind must be related to the real, everyday affairs of life with which he is con- stantly thrown in contact. It is an exceptional child that can grasp the significance of the Golden Rule, stated as a tenet. But if we say, "Johnnie, you must not throw the banana peel on the sidewalk, for someone is liable to slip on 1t and hurt himself,' we have given the boy something tangi-
