I.39 INCHES RAIN FALLS AT CONWAY SHOWERS ARE SCATTERED General Rain Still Badly Needed, All though Many Sections of County
 Have Been Relieved.

Two fine showers, one late yester- day afternoon measuring 59 inch and one this afternoon measuring 80 inch broke the drouth which has persisted at Conway for several weeks and re- lieved the parched gardens and lawns in the city. The showers were local in their scope, however. Today's rain fall did not reach hardly beyond the city limits to the east. At the farm of Joseph Leinhart, two miles east, it was stated this afternoon that nc rain at all had fallen and the road was still dusty. No rain fell at Brazler's store, five miles southeast of Conway. Northwest of Conway the rainfall is reported to have been much heavier than here.
 Scattered showers have fallen in various portions of the county during the past few days, in few cases the precipitation being sufficient to insure the maturity of good corn crop, but other sections have been less fortu- nate and have had little or no rain. A general season" is still badly need ed for corn and cotton is beginning in many localities to show the need of moisture.

 We also find that the rock road does not increase taxes in a like pro- portion, since the assessor must con slder the fact that this land will not produce any more per acre than land off the rock road
 "A rock road to Liberty. Excelsior Springs and St. Joseph would take thousands of motorists through your territory that do not know what a fine country you have and they would leave money there, too.
 In our 30 years experience in this vicinity We have never foreclosed a loan on rock road, nor have we ever known of a farm that could not be sold quickly"
 We have convincing testimony as to the benefits resulting from macad- am highways in the statement of this Missouri banker that in 30 years ex- perlence his institution has never foreclosed a loan on farm situated on rock road-Arkansas Gazette.

HEALTHY GROWTH
 IN ENUMERATION

A healthy growth in the school population of the Conway district will be shown in the enumeration figures for 1916 being completed today by s. E. Anderson, who made census of the district for the school board. The number of persons of school age now in the district is 1868, as compared with l,227 last year, an increase of Al, or over II per cent. MT. Ander- son says, however, all the increase comes from new families moving into the district. The number of little ones reaching six years of age and coming into the enumeration was less, he says, than the number reaching 21 during the past year and passing out from the period of school age.
 The complete report of enumeration, enrolment and attendance is being made up today and will be filed with County Examiner J. M. c. Vaughter on Thursday, the last day for filing such reports.
 As the state common school tax. poll tax and assessors penalties are apportioned to the districts accord ing to their school population, the increase in the Conway district will add probably about $500 to the rev enues of the district

Judgment was rendered giving the plaintiffs possession of a cultivator which they had attached.
 A jury rendered a verdict for the defendant in the case of w. A. Ieib- long vs. Lee Black. The plaintiff claimed the defendant in making a horse trade with him had misrepre- sented the condition of a horse, which afterwards proved to be "heavey," but the jury took another view of the case.
