 An incident of one of the primary rooms is worth recording. In order to encourage cleanliness, the teacher has public daily inspection of clothes and hands and ears, requiring the dirty pupils to stand in line before the room. A new arrival in the room was one of the dirtiest One day the teacher appointed him inspector. He jumped up enthusiastically, then glanced at his clothing, spread out his dirty hands a moment and sat down. I'm dirty myself,' he explained The teacher agreed with him, but told him to go ahead. He did so. He lined up bunch of the least presentable look ing and placed himself at the head of the line. Next day he came in, all brushed and tidy, except as to hands. "I'm working on em,' he confided to the teacher. The next day he came in radiant. 'I've found what'll take off the dirt" he said; ''coal oil. At first thought it was taking the hide, but l kept on, and it was just dirt that was coming off And it was clean, manly little fellow that march ed into chapel. He felt clean. There may be lesson somewhere in this story. Suppose you look for it!

HOW PROHIBITION IS
 WORKING IN ARCENTA
NINETY PER CENT FEWER AR RESTS SINCE NEW LAW BE
 CAME EFFECTIVE.

Argenta, March 9.-Unless busi- ness picks up in police circles in Ar genta there will be little or no use for the jail. Since the prohibition law went into effect the number of arrests has decreased nearly 90 per cent
 Since January 1, 68 arrests have been made by the police Three fourths of the number were vagrants and loiterers, of whom the officers have been seeking to rid the city. Four arrests for drunkenness have been made and two negroes have been taken in custody for the alleged sale of liquor. Of the total number ar rested, eight were boys locked up on charges of malicious mischief. Con stable George s. Scott also says that business is unusually light in his de partment, the number of arrests be- ing less than half the number made during the first two months of last year.
 The decreased number of city pris- oners is causing Acting Mayor Mord Roberts much worry because there has been at no time since January more than six prisoners to clean the streets. During all last year a force of from 10 to 20 prisoners was kept busy cleaning the paved streets and filling mud holes. Ten arrests was the average number made daily dur ing last year,
 The police patrol has not been in service since the beginning of the year. Rather than dispose of it at a

Money spent for the old style, ready-made medicine usually sold in bottles holding only to 1-2 ounces GIG to 20 teaspoonfuls) is largely wasted, because most of them are composed principally of sugar and water. Yet you have to pay the same price as if it were all medicine. Stop wasting this money, You can make a better remedy for bronchial affections, at home at fifth the cost. Merely go to Greeson Drug Co. and ask for ounces (50c worthl of Schitfmann's New Concentrated Ex- pectorant, which they guarantee will give perfect satisfaction or money will be refunded Mix this with one pint of granulated sugar and one half pint of boiling water, which makes full pint CPS teaspoonsfuD.

ESTES HAS PLENTY
 PITCHING TALENT
WINNING TEAM IS SEEN
NORMAL BASEBALL OUTLOOK BRIGHTEST IN SCHOOLS
 HISTORY.

A pitching staff, which at one time this season was Coach Dan Estes greatest worry, now is just the re- verse. He has five men and pros poets for another who probably would make most any college murl- ing staff in the state. They are Dowdy, Dean, Downing, Moore, Mat thews and Legg. Cleve Dowdy is the gent who won fame last year and the year before in the counties of north central Arkansas. He has certain kinks which opposing batters find rather hard to fathom. And another thing abolt Cleve that is worthy of mention is his ability to clout the pill. It is nothing uncommon for this Yell county phenom to rap out triple or homer. He has already made an indelible impression on those who have seen him work out as a star. Dean is a young fellow who has had experience in the box, and can be relied upon to deliver the goods. J. Martin Downing, whom ev- erybody iii Conway and most base ball fans in Arkansas know person. ally, needs no introduction in these columns. His ability as a boxman is well known. Although he has not yet matriculated at the Normal he expects to do so at the opening of the spring semester, March 19. Sam Moore pitched a few games for the ol ctr l., l. has improved very much, and it is expected he will develop into a first class college slabman. Mimms Legg, though quite young, shows promise of becoming a star of the first magni- tude. Mimms has lots of speed, and his control is good. Matthews, whose home is near Philadelphia, is expect ed to arrive shortly and join the squad He bears a good reputation as a hurler.
 With these men to operate on the hurling hill, and such lads as Jess Legg, catcher; Goza. first base; Clark, second base; Morden, third base; Lowery, short stop; Douglass Legg, left field; Bruce, center field,  and raft of candidates for the oth- CT field, there is no need of worry in the Pedagogues' camp. Prospects never before were brighter. Every body has agreed on that.
 Coach Estes said this afternoon that the first game probably would be with Hendrix the latter part of March. Arkansas University will be here for one game April 1. The re- turn dates have not been agreed up- on. Henderson-Brown will play here April l3 and II. The Normal will journey to Ouachita about April 29 and 30, but no return games will be played Other games are being ar ranged, but no dates have been set.
 The track candidates also are at work at the Normal. Coach Estes gives his attention to the cinder path lads two afternoons a week Assis- tant Coach o. W. Stephenson helps Estes with the baseball men.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

News is scarce this week.
 Only six tardies last month-one for every no pupils.
 A few victims of humps are out for few days.
 Carl Jones has dropped out for the crop season.
 Another new sewing machine has been added to the sewing room Busi- ness is picking up in that quarter.
 Sixty-seven pupils above the fourth grade met in the library this morn ing for special religious service. They are the pupils who have recent ly made public their decision for Christ and the church or are serious ly considering the question.
 So many of the pupils wish to at tend the revival services that we are shortening the afternoon periods and dismissing at 8 o'clock. All classes are heard, but little less time is al lowed for recitation.
 Miss Myrtle Smith, the canning club demonstrator, will visit the school soon for the purpose of organ izing a canning club. We hope par ents of both boys and girls in the up- per grades will encourage their chil- dren to get into some for the club work. Twelve pupils of the same class have already planted individual gardens at home, and more are plan ming to do so. We hope their exam pie will be initiated. The children have agreed to do all the work them selves, and will report to the teacher from time to time in the form of language lessons.
 The morning class in room one are making sunshine budget to send to Clara Golf. The budget is made up of individual letters by the children.

Children like it, is is so pleasant to take. It is unlike any other medicine, and positively contains no chloro- form, opium, morphine or other mar cotics, as do most cough mixtures. Keep it on hand in case of emergency and sto peach cough before it gets a
 firm hold. The above druggists, in
 fact any druggist in this city, will return the money Gust the same as
 is done with Schiffmann's famous Astmador> in every single case where it does not give perfect satis- faction or is not found the best reme- dy ever used. Absolutely no risk is run in buying this remedy-under this positive guarantee.-Advt.

l. y. Underwood. one of the local
managers for attorney General Abe
Lilly in the cprfmary campaign. pre-
sided over the meeting. He declared
that he in common with thousands
or Republicans who supported Gener-
al Lilly in the primary. intended 70
vote for Judge Robinson and thus
prove his resentment of the efforts
of Democrats to organize the LILY
supporters into a bunch Of boilers.
The men who supported Judge Rob
;rson in the primary. said Mr. In
derwood. are still with him, so It IS
up to those of US who supported
Mr.. Lilly to show our Republicanism.
We cannot shirk our responsibility
for If Judge Robinson were defeated
the Lilly supporters would be re-
sponsibIe. We are not going to make
such a surrender to the Democrats.
In his speech the judge declared
that he was against one man rule

any form, he said:

nance of one man. Clarence W. Wat

Just as vigorously the dominance OF

me repeat that I am bound by the
platform Of the Republican party. and
as your go.ernor expect to obey the
dictates OF that platform. Let US get
away from that small line Of looking
TO personalities and individual whims

ures and party policies back OF the
