CONWAY BANKS
 NEW DEPART MINT

Announcement is made today of the inauguration of a new saving de partment on April by the Bank of Conway, this citys oldest banking in stitution. The coming month will mark the 25th anniversary of the banks establishment here
 Cshier l.. H. Pyle stated today that the savings department would be op- erated in every way similar to such departments of the larger city banks. Four per cent interest, credited semi annually, will be paid on all such ac- counts. All the local banking insti- tutions have for some time paid in terest on time certivcates of deposit, but the Bank of Conway has the dis tinction of being the first to install a regular pass-book system of interest bearing savings accounts.

ENROLMENT IS
 NOW OVER BOO STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ATTENDANCE IS GREATER
 THAN EVER BEFORE AT THIS SEASON.

Enrolment at the Arkansas State Normal School today passed the 300- mark for the first time in the session nd for the first time in the history of the institution at this time of the year. Last year the total enrolment at the regular session was 306, but this number was not reached until the session was nearing it's close.
 More than 50 new students have enrolled since the beginning of the term two weeks ago, and it was stated today that the large majority of these will remain to attend the summer session. The average daily attendance at the Normal this year has been even more gratifying than the increased enrolment. A much larger percentage of the students than usual have remained in school and there have been fewer withdrawals thn in any previous year
 The facilities of the Normal are now taxed to their capacity, and while it will be possible to admit a few more students, no considerable further growth can be expected until more buildings are provided.

FORMER CONWAY MAN
 SUCCUMBS AT DENVER

Telegrams were received here yes terday announcing the sad news of the death of Charles Herbert Cox, second son of MT. and Mrs. Charles w. Cox, at Denver, Colo, where he had gone some months ago for the benefit of his health. MT. Cox had been suffering from tuberculosis for the past two years and made brave but losing fight against this dreaded disease.
 Mir. Cox was 27 years of age. He was born in Conway, where he re- sided until early manhood, removing with his parents to Little Rock and later to New York. He was educated in the local schools and Hendrix Col lege and served as clerk in the Conway postofice for some time, un- der Postmaster o. J. Owen.
 He is survived by his parents, one brother, J. Bruce Cox, and attorney of Nowata, Okla, and one sister, Miss Louise Cox, a member of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company of New York. His grandparents are Col, and Mrs. G, w. Bruce of this city.
 The body will be brought to Con way and will reach here Tuesday evening. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced, but it is stated the burial will be at Oak Grove cemetery Wednesday.

ROAD CAMPAIGN
 IS CLOSED HERE DEFEAT IS CONCEDED BY AUTHOR OF CONDRAY LAW CROWD HEARS LONG DIS
 TANCE SPEECH.

One of the lergest audiences ever assembled in the courtroom heard the closing speeches in the road law cam palgn here Saturday. With every seat occupied, more than 100 stood in the aisles to listen to the debate be- tween Representative c. E. Condray and Judge P. H. Prince for and against the measure. Mayor J. Frank Jones presided at the meeting.
 The speeches were preceded by a long distance address by State High way Commissioner w. B. Owen, who spoke to the large audience over a specially installed oud-talking tele- phone installed by the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph Company. MT. Owen stood in his office at the state sapitol, but his audience 30
 niles distant was able to hear distinct
 y every word he said. Mr. Owen spoke of the advantages of perma- nent roads and said he could not be-
 ieve as progressive a county as Faulkner would throw away this op- portunity of securing good roads. He said that nearly eco miles of perma- nent highways have been projected since the adjournment of the legisla- ture, and that his department would oe glad to lend any aid possible to- ward the building of good roads in Faulkner county.
 The arguments of the two speakers, Mr. Condray and Judge Prince are familiar to most of the people of the county. Mr. Condray conceded at the outset that his bill would be defeated and said he wanted some of it's critics to prepare a measure that would re- suit in good roads for the county and overcome the objections that had been raised against his bill. Judge Prince elaborated upon the TT reasons" against the adoption of the low, which he had already urged through the county papers. In conclusion he offered the suggestion that the state levy one-mill tax and work 800 convicts on the roads. By this means, he stated, a complete system of per manent roads could be built through out the state in 10 years.
 County Clerk J. A. Lea was called for after Mr. Condray had made his rejoinder and made short speech in opposition to the road law.

NORMAL BUDGET
 REDUCED S3,UO0 HAYS YET0ES S595,OOO
CONWAY INSTITUTION ES CAFES WITH SLIGHT CUT
 IN APPROPRIATION.

Although the Sunday papers made no mention of cut in the State Normal appropriation bill, when Gov ernor Hays vetoed nearly $6O0,0O0 of the amounts allowed by the legisla- ture for the various state depart ments and institutions, the budget of the Conway institution was reduced by $3,0O0.
 In response to telegraphic in quiry the Log Cabin Democrat was authoritatively informed today that two items in the Normal appropria- ton were vetoed, as follows:
 Supplies and equipment for various departments, $2,000.
 Repairs, $1 ,000.
 This leaves a balance of $G8, 200 for the maintenance of the Normal school for the biennial period ending June 30, 1917.
 President Doyne was out of the city on business today and it was i'm. possible to ascertain from him what effect the vetoed items would have upon the institution. It is believed l however, that the loss of these two tens will in no wise impair the eff l 'lciency of the Normal, as the cost of supplies and necessary equipment an probably be taken care of out of other funds. The veto, on the other hand, by preventing the anticipated great depreciation in the value of state warrants will really be a benefit to the Normal School, as we'll as to the other institutions of the state.
 Governor Hays vetoed total of S595,0 ,032 in the appropriation bills, bringing the total within what he con- siders will be the revenue for the next two years.
 The various departments are cut as follows: University of Arkansas S73,- 800; deaf mute institute, s400O; re form school $1,200; agricultural schools, $160,000; Confederate home S3,760; tuberculosis sanitarium, S4,- 900; removing reform school, S45,- O00; medical department, S3,OO0; school for the blind, S9,00O; branch normal (negro), $37,000; insane asy- lum, $137,900; general appropriation, $42,972.
 Including in the veto is the item of $40,000 for salaries in each agricul- tural school, leaving $45,000 for each. The governor says the schools may be run on that The salaries of the branch normal for negroes at Pine Bluff is also cut out, but the in- stitution has other funds from which salaries may be paid
 Printing and binding and travelling expenses generally are cut out, in- cluding the item for printing su- preme court reports.
 The governor in his veto message states that the legislature appropria- tion a total of s3,OS6,6S1.9S and that the total revenue for the biennial pe- riod will be $3,100,000. His veto of nearly $600,000 will, he estimates, take care of the present deficit of $550000 and leave about $130 ,000 in the treasury at the end of the bien- nial period.

There were no war correspondents In

Wheels and the World.

The history Of the evolution Of loco.
motion as well as an infinity Of other
studies of the keenest interest could
all be centered in the wheel.
Without wheels we should have no
watches, no steering at sea. We should
be unable to utilize the waterfalls as
motor force, nor should we have hum
dreds Of other things of the utmost at
traction and utility.
All our modern civilization has come
to us on wheels. All we know about
other countries, all the commerce we
have established throughout the world
and our means of wealth we owe to
the wheel. It Is difficult to imagine
what the world would come to If sud
denly all wheels vanished from our
midst. No war, no famine, no revoIu-
ton. could be one-hundredth part as
efectual In putting us back centuries
as the lack Of wheels.
The romance Of wheels has gone,
never to return again. Wheels are
now looked upon merely as accesso-
ries, whirling indif1erently, faster and
faster, but practically ignored.

"The large man sitting over there IS

Ordinary powder produces smoke
when fred because Of the quantity of
sline particles formed from the break
Ing up Of the saltpeter and from some
Of the charcoal which is not completely
burned. To get rid Of smoke, so long
handicap in the use Of guns, it was
necessary to produce a substance that
would explode without leaving any
solid residue. This was accomplished
BY the use of guncott0n or nitrocellu-
lose, from which the most satisfactory
.smokeless powder is made. The sub.
stance is chemical compound. not
mixture like gunpowder, and is made
By treating cotton with mixture Of
nitric and sulphuric acids. When ex-
ploded it is all converted into gases.
Burning is not necessary to cause an
explosion, mere shock or jar being
sufficient. 1t is too violent an explosive
to use in small arms or in cannon, but
guncotton can be made into less force
full forms, suitable for use in guns, and
most brands of smokeless powder are
made In this way.-Boston Herald
