PREPAREDNESS AND EQUIPMENT

The government of the United States has failed to
properly and equip the who already
listed The army is short of guns ammunition, aero
planes and supplies of all kinds This in view of the fact
that the authorities still urging men enlist the
regular army and national guard
The shortage Of supplies and equipment indicates in
efficiency of the and most reprehensble character
1t indicates wful purpose to ignore until the last
ment the desperate condition in which the country finds
itself 1t is the result of paccsts of the Daniels and
Baker kind the head of the departments of
ment which administer the military forces of the
try. 1t shows conclusively that President Wilson still
follows the Bryan ideals whatever may be his preten-
sons.
This country is certainly rich enough and should be
virie enough furnish its national defenders with
food, supplies and tools necessary their functions
We do not know what the people generally think OF
this administration but unless sadly misudge their
temper they will make great change at the gen
era election. We think that they will look upon the
negligence which characterizes the administration
something than weakness, 1t is crime.

BIRTHS 0UTNUM MEIER .DEAlHS TWO ID ONE
IN CITY AND TOWNSHIP
TWENTY TWO MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS WERE BORN
 DURING PAST YEAR.
From Saturdays Daily

Births in the city of Conway and Cadron township outnumbered deaths by more than two to one during the year 1915, according to the records of Dr. George s. Brown, county health officer and registrar for the city and township during that period. In both registration districts the total deaths were 108 and the total births 236. Of this number A deaths and 94 births occurred in Conway and GA deaths and 142 births occurred in the town ship outside of the city. The net natural increase in population of both districts was 128.
 The record of births show that 22 more boys than girls were born in the two districts during the year. Among the white people, however, six more new girls than boys arrived, but among the negroes boy babies were largely in the majority.
 In the city of Conway there were born during the year 37 white males, AZ white females, seven negro males and eight negro females. In the town ship outside of the city there were born 33 white males, 34 white fe- males, 52 negro males and 23 negro females.
 The past year was the first full year in which vital statistics have been kept and comparative statistics are therefore not available. The new health laws require all physicians to report births and deaths within 8 certain number of days to the loca registrars, severe penalties belne fixed for violations of the law.

KANSAS BOOSTERS
 TO VISIT CONWAY
100 ON SPECIAL TRAIN
WILL STOP THIRTY MINUTES HERE ON SUNDAY, JAN
 UARY 30.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 Accompanied by band of 24 pieces, 100 business men of southeastern Kansas, travelling on a special train m trade tour of the South, will stop at Conway at $50 a. m., Sunday, January 30, for 30 minutes. The Conway Board of Trade has arrang- ed for committee to greet the wis itors on their arrival here.
 The all-steel train will have nine coaches-four Pullman coaches, li- brary club car, two dining cars and two baggage coaches. The two bag yaqe cars will be filled with south eastern Kansas agricul- tural, industrial and mineral.
 Southern railroad men declare it is the biggest train of it's kind ever sent through the South. It is costing the Southeastern Kansas Association of Commercial Clubs, which is behind the venture, $15,OO0. In the fifteen days trip 5000 miles will be travelled, and sixteen states crossed. St. Louis, Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ashe- vile, Columbia, Charleston, Jackson vile, St. Augustine, Birmingham, Mobile, New Orleans, Vicksburg Memphis, Little Rock and Fort Smith are on the itinerary.
 The trade train represents nine counties which are in the lower right hand corner of the map of Kansas Although geographically situated in the corner, the nine counties contain the industrial and agricultural cen ters of the Kansas commonwealth Zinc, lead and coal are mined, and there are rich deposits of petroleum and natural gas. All have contrib uted in making this section the in dustrial center of the state. The land is fertile, and the conditions are most favorable for agricultural pursuits
 Eighteen local commercial clubs are represented in the association which was organized in 1913. This federation does for Southeast Kansas what the chamber of commerce ol local club does for the city. It's first big venture was the trade train, sim. liar to the present special, which was sent 4,OOO miles through the eastern states in the spring of 1914.
 The booster band will play for those who visit the train. Everyone IS in vited to greet the visitors and to ge through the exhibit cars, which vii contain much of interest. Souvenirs will be distributed to every visitor.

THAN WAS EXPECTED AT BE- GINNING OF PRESENT cor
 TON SEASON.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 With ginnings during the period from December 13 to January 1 just double what they were in the same period of the preceding year, the lat est report of the census bureau on cotton ginning in Faulkner county gives another boost to the estimated yield in this county. The indications row are that instead of being 40 to 50 per cent short, the 1915 crop will probably be little more than 20 per cent less than that of 1914.
 The bulletin giving the ginning by counties to January 1, 1916, shows there had been ginned in Faulkner county 17,3O5 bales, as compared with 22,309 bales to January l, 1915 23,8O0 to the same date in 1914, and I2O,201 to January 1, 1913.
 This represents ginning during the period from December 13 to Jan. uary l of 583 bales from the crop o1 1915, against 291 from the crop o1 1914 and 955 from the crop of 1913
 From January to end of the gin. ming season the average number o1 bales ginned in this county during the past three years is 907. The number was 73O in 1915, 1,506 in 1914, anc ASA in 1913.
 The report will bring the ginning up to January 16 and will be publish ed as a total and by states on Janu ary A. The final report for the croK of 1915 will be published March "A.

From Thursdays Daily
 Two important transfers of Arkan- sas river bottom farm lands, the first to be made in this county in many months, have just been recorded in the office of Circuit Clerk A. M.

SAYS SAME JURIES
 WILL SERVE AGAIN AT JULY COURT TERM
CLERK A. M. LEDBETTER CITES
 STATUTE TO PROVE HIS POSITION.
From Saturdays DailQ.

From Saturdays DailQ.
 While most of the local attorneys who have expressed themselves upon the matter take the position that the court will have to order the sheriff to summon new grand and petit ju- TOTS for service at the July term of the Faulkner circuit court, on ac- |count of the failure of court to con- vene here this week, Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbetter is of the opinion that the same juries summoned for the January term will serve at the July term.
 In support to this section, Mir. Led better cites sections 4506 and 4508 of Kirby's Digest, providing for the se- lection of grand and petit jurors and |alternates by the commissioners, "to serve at the next term of court" MT. Ledbetter states that there was no term of court held in January and that the next" term from the term in which they were selected will be the July term of court.
 Several members of the legal fra ternity in the city, however, are of the opinion that the jurors selected by the commissioners last July were appointed to serve at the January term, 1916, and that the certificates of the commissioners so designated. These jurors, they declare, reported for service and were issued certifi- cates of attendance, whether court Twas actually in session or not, and that they cannot be required to serve again, as the law provides that no
 person shall be liable for jury service
 twice in the same year.
 The question is an interesting one
 and will probably be settled by the
 ruling of Circuit Judge Thomas c.
 Trimble of LOnoke when it is brought
 before him.
