EDUCATION BOARD
 CONSIDERS NEEDS

Little Rock, Nov. 24.--A confer ence of the board of education was held Thursday to discuss prospective legislation by the next general as- sembly. It has been the policy for some time for the educational inter ests of the state to decide upon pro gram of several of the most needed things, and devote the attention to the attention to the accomplishment of those meetings.
 Among the matters considered were county superintendency, county board of education, state aid to high schools, and the payment regularly of interest on the common school fund, each year. Unless this is done, especially with the bonds held to the credit of the University, the state will forfeit the $50,000 annually that comes from the Morrell fund.
 No definite action was taken on any proposition, and another meeting will be held in December. The members attending the meeting were Messrs Bradham, Pickens, kuykendall, Flu trall Bond, Anderson and Cook.

SIOO DEMOCRATIC
 FUND IS ASSURED
Wilson Campaign Deficit Fund.

Although the fund being raised through the Log Cabiri Democrat to aid in paying off the national Demo- cratic campaign deficit still lacks $12.50 of reaching the $100 requested by National Chairman Vance McCor- mick, this paper is going to take the responsibility of holding the fund open one more day and of writing to MT. Mccormick tonight that $100 will be forwarded to the national treasurer on next Monday night Several good Democrats who have already contrib uted literally have stated that if nee essary they will increase their sub scriptions, so that we feel no hesi- tancy in making this pledge. How ever, it should be popular fund to which every Democrat who is finan- cially able should contribute, and the Log Cabin Democrat earnestly hopes that the remaining $12.50 will be paid in by those who have not as yet con- tributed, or who have given only small donations.
 Next Monday we want one S5 do- nation, one of $2.50 and five of $1 each. Will we get them?

opeCiai to tHs boG SaDln Democrat
 Russellville, Nov. 25.-The Normal seconds yesterday had easy sailing in
 defeating the Second District Aggies. The score was 26 to ', with all pre-
 cincts heard from. The Teacherettes
 started scoring early in the game,
 making 20 points in the first quarter.
 Although they had the advantage in
 every period, in only one other, the third, did they cross the Farmers goal line. The locals scored a touch down just as the whistle blew ending the game, when Stroup received for
 ward pass and raced 65 yards for a touchdown. He kicked goal. Biggs, playing center, came near scoring touchdown for the Pedagogues, when he blocked an attempted punt and had a clear field for the goal, but he stub- bed his toe and fell upon the turf, spelling his chance. The Normal's touchdowns were made by Wray, who crossed the line twice, Boggis and
 Weatherly Wray kicked two goals from touchdowns. Stroup made the Aggies' touchdown, and kicked goal.

MT. VERNON FARMER
 MAKES OVER S4,OOO

Farmers in the vicinity of Mt Yer non, 25 miles northeast of Conwa 2, are doubfy fortunate this year, according to M. c. Hawkins, who was in the city yesterday. Mir. Hawkins, who lives two miles north of Mt. Vernon, made over $4,000 this year with only the labor of himself and his own fam lily. The family cultivated about 90 acres, which produced 34 bales of cotto, % bushels of corn, 130 gal Ions ,rup, 100 bushels of potatoes, beside quantities of hay and other farm produce. Added to the unpre- cedented prices for all kinds of farm produce, the territory around Mt. Vernon this year made the best crop in it's history.

FINAL SERVICES BY
 DR. JOHNSTON SUNDAY
Conway Methodist Minister will End Pastorate of Notable Achieve
 ments Here.

His final sermon as pastor of the First Methodist church of Conway will be delivered tomorrow by Dr. F. s. H. Johnson. Tuesday Dr. Johnston leaves for Searcy to attend the annual North Arkansas conference of his church. While he has served only two years of the quadriennium to which the pastor of a charge is limited by his church, it is not expected that he will be returned to the local pastorate, as arrangements which only need the as sent of the bishop have already been made for him to assist Dr. James Thomas in leading the campaign for an additional half-million dollar en- dowment and building fund for Hen drix College.
 Dr. Johnston has served as pastor of the Conway church for total of seven years and also resided at Con- way during a service of four years as presiding elder of the Morrilton district. During this time he has seen his congregation outgrow two churcn DullQlnSS. w nen He began HIS ministry here the membership was less than 300 and it worshipped in a small frame building. Very soon af- rewards a $12,O00 brick building was completed under Dr. Johnston's pas torate, and within less than dozen years this building was demolished to make room for the present $75,0OO house of worship, one of the finest in the state. The last named building was begun under the pastorate of Dr. E. R. Steel, now of Pine Bluff, but on | ly the foundations were completed and less than half the funds secured when ! Dr. Johnston again took charge. The membership of the church now num- bers over 1000 and it is regarded one of the three most important Methodist churches in Arkansas.
 While his congregation and the cltl- zens of Conway generally will regret Dr. Johnston's retirement from the local pulpit, it gives them great satls- faction to know that he and his family will continue to make Conway their home.

BANK RESERVES
 RUN VERY HIGH

Little Rock, Nov. 23.-The reports from state banks that are being re- ceived are most gratifying. The bank commissioner, picking up reports cas- ually as they had been received during the day, called attention to the fact that the reserves reported were run ming at 66, 45, S4, 65, 80, 93 and so on, an average of more than 72 per cent. The law requires only 15 per cent. The deposits are also running very heavy, and the indications are they will exceed $100,000, ,000.

The town sprinkling still continues
to be done unsatisfactory and is not
the success it ought to be, not even
as good as last year. 1t does not
seem that Mr.. Langrell. who drives
the Sprinkler is altogether to blame.
The sprinkler which underwent recent
repair does not allow a free and even
flow of water and with such conditions
it is necessary to 60 over the same
course frequently. What Town Coun-
Gil shouled DO first is to see that the
sprinkler is in proper condition. Then
it will be time to criticise the work
Of Mr.. Langrell. He has much
ground to cover and is going most all
the time and if a better and evenei
flow Of water could be obtained il
would improve the work materially.

Not only are India mission schools
and churches full. The stupendous
fact IS that there stands outside these
institutions awaiting list Of more than
$50. 900 registered applicants for
baptism who cannot be received into
the Christian church because there
are not churches enough and min
listers enough to give them Christian
leadership. not schools enough to edu-
cate them. II is considered worse
than useless to receive into the church
thousands of illiterate. superstitious
persons, knowing nothing but the bar
est rudiments of Christianity. unless
provision is made for both their re-
ligious and secular education. The
olly results of such a policy would
be to heathenize Christianity.
AS fast as the missions can develop
agencies for the training of the new
converts, those who stand first in the
waiting lists are baptized and re-
ceived. The trouble is that the
waiting list is developing more
rapidly than the agencies. Whole
villages and whole counties are turn
ing en- masse to Christianity. The
mayors of two hundred villages re-
Gently voted in conference to use their

Of their villages Christian. The
Christian community in India is in

members every month or 60, 600 per

Just as religious movements have

so the fact that the bitterest perse-
eution assails the new Indian Christ
ians only seems TO add impetus to
the movement. From "The World s
