WATERWAYS
HELP NAVY
Daniels Supports Any Good
Plan of Improve
ment
ADDRESSES PA.
CONVENTION
Sound Intra-Coastal System
to Be Desired,
He Says

Philadelphia, Sept l6,- Secretary Dan
iels of the navy told the delegates 70
the ninth annual convention OF the At
lantic Deeper Waterways association
yesterday that they need have no fear
OF the earnest and enthusiastic cooper
alton OF the navy department with any
practical plan looking for the improve
ment of the inland waterways along the
coast. The association is interested in
completing the inland waterway from
Massachusetts, 20 Florida.
Events OF the present, such as the re-
vival OF shipbuilding, the inability OF the
railroads 10 meet the need of the new
era in production and bumper crops, Mr..
Daniels said have given fresh argument
10 the men who for years have been
arousing public interest in the inland
waterway plans.
"Three great projects that will prove
our ability 10 conceive and carry out ma
tiOnal improvements for the near fu'
ture," Secretary Daniels said, ARE the
improvement OF the Mississippi river and
its tributaries, the improvement OF the
Sacramento river, and the completing OF
the inland waterway so that submarine
may travel through the inner passage
from Boston to Key West, ready TO dart
out at half dozen important places
10 strike terror TO any enemy lurking
on our coast. This inland waterway is
primarily to secure cheap water trans
portation, but it has military value as
well, and in considering its worth to the
republic both must be regarded.
THE Importance OF sheltered water
paths up and down our Atlantic coast,
sheltered from the violence OF mid winter
Atlantic storms through which small
boats may proceed has been enormously
increase by the conditions of modern
warfare
Mr.. Daniels drew attention to the inn
portance of small craft in warfare and
said that in former years ships were
built of such draft as the depths OF
rivers demanded, but to-day rivers are
deepened to accommodate the size OF
ships and the needs of commerce.

this city forty-two new cases of infan-
tile paralysis, six more than Thursday,
and ten deaths, a drop of one, according
TO the health department report for
twenty four hours ending at 10 a. m. yes
terday.
That rat feas are responsible for the
spread OF the disease is the theory adj
vanced here by medical research men
who have been experimenting TO deter
mine the carrier and transmitter Of the
disease, according to an announcement
by DR.. Haven Emerson, city health com
missioner. The commissioner stated that
experiments with almost all bugs and
vermin had been abandoned as of no
value, and that attention is now being
on fleas, this idea having
first been suggested by DR.. Mark Rich
ardson. secretary of the Massachusetts,
department of health who lost two of
his children by the disease.
"The flea theory is based on careful
DR. Emerson said, "but the
suspicion has not yet been fully verified
1t was learned also that Professor G.
r. Brues of Harvard university, who
studied the disease here for six weeks,
is working on the flea transmission the

Bad Enough as It Was.

sturdy old mountain woman was
very i'll with rheumatism, and for the
first time in her life the doctor had been
called in. He prescribed quinine IN cap

Renewing Pillows without Reticking.

Pillows may be washed just as they
are used, so if the ticking is good and
only soiled, they may be renewed with
out reticking.
To cleanse, strong hot suds should be
made. hotter than the bath for washing
blankets, and the pillows immersed. They
may be soaped all over and allowed to
remain some time entirely covered with
water. They should then be soused up
and down until clean and afterward
rinsed in several waters, changing grad
ually from hot to cold.
OF course, pillows do not stand much
wringing, therefore they must drip when
pinned on the line and must be securely
fastened, using several pins.
After several hours, the pillows should
be taken down and pinned up again at
the opposite ends,
If this is done frequently, the drying
process will be quicker as well as more
even.

NORMAL BASEBALL
 PROSPECTS BRIGHT

Nearly half hundred aspirants to positions on the Normal baseball team were out in full regalia yester- day afternoon and worked hard for two hours under the tutelage of Coach Dan Estes. The lads moved about in mid-season form, and their performance looked good to the coach
 Cleve Dowdy, the Yell county pro- tege, made his initial bow in Normal society. Most of the attention was directed towards him. He is one of the smoothest athletes ever seen in action here. He scoops up the pill like leaguer He was stationed at short yesterday, but it is expected he will be used more frequently on the hurling hill, as the Pedagogues are short on pitchers. Dowdy comes with a rep as one of the best ball players in the state. Among others who showed up as first team timber were Jess Legg, "Dutch' Moore, Pug" Clark, "Blondy'. Goza, "Lengthy'' Morden, Bernard Bruce, Lowry and Sam Moore. The Normal expects to have the best team in it's history
 Coach Estes is working on schedule which he hopes to have completed within few days, The first game probably will be with Hendrix Col lege the latter part of this month.

MUN|C|PA PALPR|MARY ELECTION ON TODAY
GOOD VOTE BEING CAST
RjN-OFF BELIEVED PROBABLE IN MAYORS AND MARSHAL'S
 CONTESTS.

With a good vote being boiled in each of the three wards and consid- orable activity among the candidates and their friends, the biennial city primary election is being held today.
 At 3 o'clock this afternoon 316 votes had been cast, and the indica- tions were that total of at least 800 would be boiled The First ward vas leading with 126 votes and the Third ward had cast 103. In the Second ward, where there is no contest on for aldermen, only S7 votes were cast up to 3 o'clock.
 It vas believed this afternoon that a second primary one week later would be necessary to decide the races for mayor and marshal. J. C. Dawson, Judge T.. M Merriman, Prof C. C Denney and w. T. Wilson are candidates tor mayor and it is not believed that any one of them will secure the necessary majority on the first vote
 The same is true in the marshall s iaee. where a spirited contest is on between W. II. Canada, J. R. Piercey and !. l.. McNeese The other races, it is believed. will be decided at to- days election.
 With only one two exceptions, all the judges, clerks and deputy sheriffs selected by the City Democratic Cen tral Committee are serving at to- days election.

DELIVERS SERMON
 ON REPENTANCE"
NECESSARY 10 SAL NATION
DECLARES REV. BURKE GULL PEPPER IN SERMON MON
 DAY NIGHT.

Another large congregation last night heard Rev. Burke Culpepper deliver a strong sermon on the sub Ject of Repentance at the First Methodist church. Prior to the ser mon the congregation enjoyed a solo, Where Will you Spend Eternity"
 Rev. Culpepper took for his text Matthew 3:2, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" He declared that he had never known preacher who stood for anything who did not preach repentance. Some few people have got to heaven without dying, none have ever got there without repentance. He de clared that he was desperately in earnest That his whole life was be ing burned out for his fellow men. 'l must do my best wherever | am :"
 John the Baptist was a preacher of repentance" declared the preach CT, and the whole shooting match came out to hear him, too. He just aaid, repent, repent, repent. He de dared that his hearers would not stand for the kind of preaching that John the Baptist did.
 sam Jones was a preacher of re- pentance. Some one asked him how he knew he was converted and he ra- piled that he was there when it hap pened. Sturgeon. Gypsy Smith Billy Sunday were all great preach CTS of repentance The preacher de clared that whenever you find q preacher who does not preach repent ance you will find a preacher who is preaching to empty pews.
 A great many people think they can buy their way into heaven But they can't do it. That is not repent ance. Then the preacher said that he was going to join everything that was good. He wanted all the good of every church, lodge and other or ganization.
 Then repentance is not a promise We have all broken our promise, said the speaker. Repentance is not emo tion. Tears are but a safety valve. 1 don't give a continental whether a man laughs or cries.
 Conviction is a confinement. The woods are just full of moral people, said Rev. Culpepper. Neither good or bad, neither yes or no. just ''yaas." Repentance is getting off the devils train and getting on Gods train Then he gave most vivid illustra- tion of what he meant by that. Repentance is not remorse When ever you say you have been such a mean man that God cant forgive you you are reflecting on God Repent ance is recognition of God as an authority and deep-seated purpose to obey in every relation of life. Rev Culpepper is the biggest preacher of his kind that Conway has ever heard. The great crowds that fill the house long before the hour of service pay tribute to him and to his subject that no words can express
