DEFER ACTION ON
 COUNTY HOSPITAL

In order to give the committee on
 ways and means further time to de- wise a plan for the maintenance of the institution, a final decision upon the matter of erecting a county hos pital at Conway was deferred for two or three weeks, after the proposition had been discussed at mass meeting at the courthouse last night. The committee made a partial report rec ommending that not more than S7,500 be expended for a building at pres ent, but that the plans be so drawn as to permit the erection of additions from time to time as needed. The committee also recommended that at least S2,500 additional be secured to furnish the building and provide it's maintenance for the first year. It was stated that these funds could be rais- ed without difficulty by private sub scription, but it was thought best not

C|DDfNS RESIGNS
 AS CO.1REASURER LINDSEY SUCCEEDS HIM
III Health in Family will Compel County Official to Seek Different
 Climate.

Considerable surprise was occa- stoned here today by the announce ment that Rev. J. R. Giddens had re- signed as treasurer of Faulkner county, effective October 5, on which date John Lindsey, Democratic nomi- nee to succeed Mr. Giddens, will be appointed to the position for the un- expired term. Mr. Giddens' term would not have expired until Novem- Der 30.
 The resignation was presented in person by Treasurer Giddens to Gov ernor George W. Hays in Little Rock yesterday. It was formally accepted and the governor, upon Mr. Giddens' recommendation, stated that he would issue a commission on Octo- Der 5 to MT. Lindsey.
 Poor health in his family and the advice of physicians that he remove to different climate is responsible for MT. Giddens' resignation, he stated today. He will begin at once to look out a location for a new home and expects to move soon after his retirement from office.
 Mr. Glddens IS now completing his thlrd term as county treasurer. the third term, however, coming after an interval of four years between it and the second term. He was a can didate for reelection in the Demo- cratic primary last March, but was defeated by the man whom he yes terday recommended to succeed him. self. He has resided in the county for more than a third of a century, teaching rural schools and preaching at rural churches in all parts of the county, and he has hundreds of friends who will sincerely regret his enforced removal from the county.
 In accepting his resignation yes terday Governor Hays handed Mr. Giddens a letter of which the follow ing is copy:
 Executive Chamber, Little Rock,
 Ark, September 2S, 1916.
 "Io Whom it May Concern:
 ihe peaiei ol lhls leltef, Hon. J R. Giddens, is a high-toned honor able citizen. He has served as treas urer of Faulkner county, this state, for nearly six years and there is not blot of any kind against his record
 He is honorable, sober and indus trious; has been a successful teach CT and IS a very competent book keeper; in fact, capable of doing most anything that he would under take, and l take great pleasure in bespeaking for him the greatest con- sideration by those with whom he may come in contact.
 Respectfully,
 Geo. W. Hays, Governor"

CAR SHORTAGE IS
 WORRYING SHIPPERS

Little Rock, Sept. 29.-Railroad Commissioner Mcknight says that he is receiving complaints of car short age from various points, especially from lumber towns on short line roads. Complaints were received yes- terday from Manning in Dallas coun- ty, and Norphlet in Union county.
 "One of the chief causes of the car shortage" said Mir. Mcknight, lis the slow movement of freight. The aver age movement now is about 36 miles in 2f hours. which is considerable improvement over what it was sev- eral years ago. There was a time when the average was less than ten miles a day. This trouble was slight ly rectified by the passage of the Bar ker reciprocal demurrage bill in 1907, requiring a daily movement of fifty miles, and penalizing the road for less than that Some penalties were col lected under it, but now the law is practically ignored, and has become dead letter. There would be plenty of cars if they were moved prompt ly."

CHURCHES 10 HOLD EDUCATIONAL RALLY SUNDAY, OCT. IS, THE DAY Preachers Throughout State Asked to Deliver Sermons on Educa-
 tiOnal Themes.

AS a means for arousing interest in the adoption of amendment No. 12, known as the educational amendment, the campaign committee of the Arkan- sas School Directors Association is sending out requests that Sunday, Oc- tober 15, be observed throughout the state as educational Sunday and that on that day every preacher in the state deliver sermon on some educational theme.
 "No more appropriate season for such a day could be selected than the present time, when practically every school in the state has just opened its doors and thousands of ambitious boys and girls of Arkansas" says an announcement by the committee.
 It is an inspiring thought to con- template. Think of more than 2,000 ministers of the gospel going to the pulpit at the same hour and directing the thoughts of 500,000 people along the lines of education at the same time. Such movement must neces- sarily result in great educational awakening for the state.
 "The committee having the matter in charge ask that all who are inter ested in education, especially the pat rons of the schools, shall attend church on that day and turn their thoughts for a while to the education of their children.
 I've presume that local ministers and school officials will join in this great movement and see that our town keeps abreast of the times by provid- ing exercises appropriate to the oc- caSion."

Vale, oct. 24.-The Democratic cam
paign was opened in Malheur county,
with a live meeting in charge of the
Woodrow Wilson club of Vale. The
meeting was held in the Rex theater
of this city Saturday night.
Several members of the club gave
short spec ches, and Judge Dalton Biggs
of Ontario, brought out strong points
on the measures that the president has
put through since his term of office,
which alone should be grounds for re-
election, he said.
Mr.. Swagler of Ontario. gave n fine
extemporaneous speech, bringing out
the conditions in the cast and all over
this country of a general contentment
of the present administration and
pointing out how the Hughes cam
paign was built up on abuse of the
present administration instead of con-
structive arguments.
One condition that cannot be over
looked is the fact that thousands OF
Republicans and Progressives are
flocking into the Wilson clubs all over
the country, and of leading members of
the local organization a large per-
centage in favor of Wilson are Repub-
licans and Progressives.
The main speaker of the evening was
John P. Rusk, eX-speaker of the house
of representatives of oregon. Mr.. Rusk,
well known throughout the state as
Jerry. made an impression on his
audience by his sincerity and earnest
ness. His subject was, "Why Progress
sive Should Vote for Woodrow Will
son. and he showed how the president
had supported and put through most
of the important bills on the Progress
sive platform, how he destroyed the
greatest and most powerful lobby this
country has ever known and how. if he
is re elected, he will advance the cause
of the common people throughout the
United States as he has already done
in a large measure with the rural
credit bill. the bank bill, the income
tax, and number of other reforms
that the American people have been
wanting for years.

PAT GILBERT EARNS
DRAW With Y0AKUN

Pat Gilbert earned a draw with

tie as given in the Salt Lake Tribune

The Tribune says:
In the language of the classics, the
star bout last night between Stanley
Yoakum of Denver and Pat Gilbert at
the Grand theater, under the auspices
Of the Manhattan club, was a hum
dinger." Action in every round would
scarcely describe what took place. Yoa-
KUN, with a reputation from coast to
coast, undertook to do things to our
local aspirant for championship honors,
and for the first few rounds it looked
as though he would carry out his pro-
gram, but in the las two rounds Gill
bert came back like a proverbial bull
and fought the Denver French Cana
dian off his feet, and earned the draw
decision OF Referee Hardy K. Downing,
which met with the approval of a
crowded house.
Gilbert is certainly a glutton for pun
ishment, and "Skutty Plunkett from
Clogher," said to be the toughest Irish
man since tie fighting days of Gibes

little more science and judgment of

best ever staged in Salt Lake. and

Manhattan club.

WILL
BY run TO BURNS
Business Men of Western
Idaho and Eastern Ore
gon to Take Trip.

The thriving town of Burns, ore,
will, on November ), entertain as It's
guests a delegation of business men
from Ontario, Vale. Weiser, Boise,
Payette ard Caldwell. The excursion,
which is being promoted at Ontario,
gives promise of being big affair and
attention is called to it in the Times
Herald of Burns, which states that the
Burns business men will meet the eX-
cursionists at Crane, the terminus OF
the Eastern Oregon line and take them
to Burns in automobiles. At that city
the visitors will be guests of the
Booster club at a luncheon and after
a short stay viii be driven back to the
line by a differen, route, thus giving
them an opportunity to see something
of the greatness and richness of the
Harvey valley.
The excursion train is to arrive at
Crane at 1o;3 80 and will leave that
point at o'clock for its return trip.
this giving the visitors almost eight
hours in that territory.
An invitation to visit Burns on the
occasion of the excursion was extend
I'd to members Of the Boise CONNER
cial club by J. w. Crawford of Burns
and as a result notice is to be posted
in the club calling h attention of the
business men here to the excursion and
the wholesalers of the city are to be
especially urged to go to that territory
as representatives of the city.
Jess b. Hawley, president of the
club. assured Mr.. Crawford that the
club would do some boosting for the
excursion and unite in any other way
possible with the business men OF
Burns for the upbuilding and develop
ment Of that territory.
II is pointed out by persons
acquainted with the Harvey county
section. that tho Bose Commercial
club could not make a better invest
ment in tho interests of Boise than TO
send big delegation into that county
on the occasion OF the excursion and
to take along the Boise band. one bust
ness man aid today: There is vast
inland emTire tributary to BtJns, rich
in resources, well peopled and progress
sivc and if the business people OF
Boise are alive to their interests and
the city, they will go in force to meet
he people of Harvey county and by so
iong cement bond of friendship
which will last and will cause the peo-
pie there to look toward Boise as the
natural supply point for all their bust
ness. An excursion there with the
Boise ban would tend to show that
Boise has a real interest in the great
empire just coming in,o its own and
that interest would mean that the peo-
pie in the land of plenty would reach
out to grasp the hand OF commerce ex-
tended from Boise and thus bring
thousands OF dollars to this city an
nually.
