LET FIRST PAYING
CONTRACT MAY Il
FIFTH DISTRICT PLANNEE
PAVING MOVEMENT RAPIDLY
SPREADING IN RESIDENCE
DISTRICTS OF CITY.

The contract for the first street
paving to be done in residence dis
trict of Conway will be let on MAJ
Il, according to a decision reached
by the board of improvement distrct
No. 3 yesterday afternoon. Adyer.
tisements for bid will appear in the
Log Cabin Democrat and will be in
serted in Little Rock papers today
This district, which includes West
Oak, Caldwell and portion of Cen
ter street, will require about 8,0U(
yards of paving. The board decide,
to adopt concrete five inches thiyl
and l8 feet wide for the paving.
The street paving movement i.
rapidly spreading in the residential
section of Conway and fifth dis
trict is now being planned to include
portions of Prince and Clifton streets
These streets are among, the worst in
the city during wet weather and tie
erection of the new 5000 Methodist
church on the corner of Prince and
Clifton streets has given an impetus
to improvement in that section. 1t is
probable that petitions asking for the
organization of the new district will
be presented to the city council at
an early date.
The second petition of district No.
z, which is being reorganized on ac
count of technical defects in the first
organization, will be presented to tht
council tonight. Those interested in
the district state that large major
lty in value of the property in the
district is signed to the petitions. The
district includes North Front street
from the terminus of district No. /
to Hendrix College
The second petition for district No.
has been drafted but has not yet
been completed
Property owners on Robinson ave-
nue. are planning to oil their street
again within the next few weeks.
The value of oiling to prevent both
mud and dust was clearly demon
strated on this street last year, it re-
naming in better condition than any
other unpaved street in the city
throughout the winter 1t is planned
to use an entire tank car of oil on
this spring, the quantity used last
year being hardly sufficient.

WITH EXCEPTION OF TWO
INNINGS.

Hendrix College won the opening
game of the series from the Stat,
Normal yesterday afternoon on Rus
sell field, 8 to Z. The game was de
cided in the ninth inning when, with
the score Z to 7, Cook pelted the first
ball pitched over the left field fence
for four bases.
With the exception Of the first
inning, when the Bulldogs made siN
runs, and the sixth inning, when the
Normalites crossed the plate five
times, the game was of high order.
In these rounds, however, the felders
seemed to go skyward and the bat,
ters removed the debris from their
eyes.
After Cook reached first on Low
ery's error in the first frame. Lege
and Young singled, Hutchinson and
McQuistion tripled and Sinclair
raped out a home run in rapid sue
cession, netting six tallies.
The Pedagogues secured a one run
lead in the sixth, scoring five runs on
three hits, three stolen bases, two
errors, a passed ball and a hit bats
man. The Normal failed to reach
first base after this inning.
The Bulldogs tied the game in the
seventh. Legg singled and stole sec
ond. Young whitfield. Hutchinson sac
rificed the runner to third and he
scored on Fulmer's hit.
The teams play the final game of
the series on the Normal field this
afternoon. The Bulldogs will leave
on the early train tomorrow for
Batesville to play Arkansas College
tomorrow and Thursday. Friday and
Saturday Arkansas and Hendrix play
on Russell field.

Supt. j. P. Womack and the entire
faculties of both white and colored

The assignment of teachers to the
various grades was left to Supt.
Womack, who stated today that all

same grades they have been teaching
during the present year.
The board also decided to employ
an additional teacher for the negro
school, which has shown large in
crease in attendance during the past
year. This teacher will be elected
later.
The selection of a domestic science
teacher will be deferred until it is
seen whether the Conway School and
Civic Club is able to dispose of a suf-
ficient number of scholarships to en-
ploy teacher for her full time. If

Secretary Daniels said yesterday he
did not know just what detailed plan

not intend to form new bureau OF in

new board composed of the heads of the
principal bureaus within the department
to work in cooperation with the board
of civilians.
Secretary Daniels yesterday conferred
with Admiral Griffin OF the bureau of

Farmers in 10 States Buy 400 Automo-
bileS a Day

| In the current issue of Farm and Fire.
side, the national farm paper published
at Springfield, Ohio, contributor writes
an interesting article showing how mo-
| tor cars affect farm life. In the follow
ing extract taken from the article APP
pear some remarkable facts about the
use of automobiles by farmers:
"Take the ten states of the middle
West known as the grain belt: Illinois,
Iowa. Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, North
Dakota, and Oklahoma Four years ago
these ten states owned 10000 automo-
biles, the proportion of farm machines
was perhaps one in ten. The number of
motor cars in these ten states has quad
rupled in the last three years, and more
than doubled in the last two years, so
that on Jan. /, 1915, by figures fur
nished by the various secretaries of
state, the number of cars was 55973o.
OF this immense total, fully one-half
belong to farmers. The number in the
ten states is increasing at the rate of
$4,000 machines a month, 425 day. The
average value of these machines was
$3.50"
