FOUR.|NCH RAIN
 BREAKS DR0UTH DAMAGE OFFSETS BENEFIT Heavy Precipitation Sunday Night Wonderfully Benefits Crops,
 But Damages Soil.

An old-fashioned "gully-washing rain early Sunday morning broke { spring drouth, which, with the ex ception of few light and scattered showers, had persisted in this coun. ty for period of two months. The immense benefit which the moisture will be to growing crops was offse, to some extent by severe damage tc the soil. Land was badly washed or nearly all the upland farms of the county and in a few instances crops were practically ruined. Creeks were quickly overfowed and crops in lowlands were flooded, while fencing and bridges were washed out in numerous places. Newly worked roads were also badly damaged.
 Late planted cotton, on which poor stands have been reported, will be brought up to good stands by the rain, it is believed, although it will take late frost to mature cotton just now sprouting. Corn, which was be- ginning to suffer from the brouth, has been wonderfully revived, and oats, wheat, potatoes, truck patches and pastures are immensely benefit ted.
 The rainfall at Conway measured 3.95 inches, according to Prof. M. J. McHenry, local observer for the United States weather bureau. Ac- cording to reports received here to- day the rain was heavy throughout the northern and western portions of the county, but in the southern DOT tion it was much lighter. At Little Rock only light sprinkle, measuring less than one-tenth Of an inch, was recorded.

YIELDS KNIFE ON PARENTS OF WIFE CLYDE GILLIAN ARRESTED Ingleside Young Man Attacks and Severely Injures James P. Cole
 and Mrs. Ann Cole.

Following family dispute at their home one mile south of Ingleside, about 15 miles southeast of Conway, early last night, Clyde Gillian, 23, at tackled with knife his wife's par ents, James P. Cole, 65, and Mrs. Ann Cole, 55. Gillham came to Conway and surrendered to Sheriff w. w. Bishop. A charge of assault with in- tent to kill was lodged against him and he was granted fail in the sum of $500 by Justice G. M. Easterwood. He was still in the custody of the sheriff this afternoon.
 MT. Cole received two knife wounds one in the neck and the other in the left side, back of the heart. Mrs. Cole was cut about the neck and throat The injured couple were attended by Dr. c. H. Dickerson of Conway, who dressed their wounds. Pe said Mir Cole was weak from loss of blood and was suffering considerably, but would recover unless complications arose Mrs. Coles injuries, the physician stated, were not so serious.
 Reports as to how the difficulty occurred vary. Gillian, it is stated claims that an insulting charge made by Cole against his daughter Susie, Gillam's wife, provoked him to make the attack, and that when Mrs Cole interfered and tried to strike him with a broom handle he struck hel with the knife in trying to avoid the blow. Both couples were living or Coles place, with the understanding that Gillian would provide living for the old couple in return for the use of the farm. A dispute arose over the Coles supplying Clyde Young and wife, the latter being another daughter of the couple, with produce it is said. It is stated that the family had been at outs for some time.

TRADE CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
Rising Market Induces Retail Mer
chants to Buy More Heavily.

Bradstreet S Burlington office reports
trade conditions for the first quarter of
the present year show an Improvement
as whole among the manufacturing
interests, as compared with the same
period of 1915. A later season has de
layed retail business somewhat, but the
ability of the public to buy is better
than year ago. Retail merchants
have purchased more heavily by reason
of the rising market, and with q contin-
uancc of conditions now existing the
wisdom of this will be shown The
lumbermen have cut and brought to the
mills larger cut of logs, and these
have been cleaned up as they have not
been III previous seasons for some time.
The demand for lumber is better. The
maple sugar season this year has been
late. Weather conditions have been
"toO good for the best results, and
the runs so far have been light. In the
southern part of the state this is par
ticularly true. Some good runs have
been harvested. Fancy grades of this
product have appeared and, as was to
be expected, have received the benefit
of top prices.
Mercantile failures have been less
ably less money. The first quarter of
the present year recorded three mercan-
tile failures involving $4,000 or over,
while the same period of year ago
gave the number of five. OF the lG
failures thus for this year, January
gave two, February 10, and March
four with total assets of $4,000 and
liabilities of $lOj,3O3. The same
months of 1915 recorded three, 10 and
eight respectively, with aggregate as
sets Of $l2S,S79, and liabilities of Sill
1926. OF the seven causes to which the
failures Of the present year could be
attributed, that of lack of capital
stands first, 80 per cent of the total
failing because of that reason.
lncompctcncy stands second, with 26
per cent. The remaining 10 per cent
is attributed respectively to neglect of
business, unwise credits, circumstances
beyond the control of the individual
failing, incxperience, and extravaganza

Catholic schoolhouse for Burlington

A building which will cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 and will provide
a high school building and quarters
for all of the Roman Catholic socie'
ties Of Burlington is to be erected by
the clergy of the Roman Catholic
diocese of Burlington at the south
west corner of ST, Paul and Pear
streets in that city.
The clergy and members of St
Mary S cathedral feel that the erection
of this building which will contain
beside the high school and club rooms
II gymnasium, bowling alleys, and
other rooms for the entertainment of
Young people, will fill a long felt want
in the Catholic community of Buring-
ton, Plans for such Il building were
formulated several years ago, but it is
only recently that they have been
carried to successful conclusion.
Frank l.. Austin, of Burlington, will
he the building architect in charge of
the work, while it is understood that
several BOSTON firms win do the con
struction work.
