CITY'S NEW EQUIPMENT
WAITING FOR SPECIALIST

The new pumping equipment for
the city pumping station has arrived
and a representative from the factory
is expected anytime to take charge of
installing the 100 horse power en-
CINE and the large air compressor.
Last year the city council pur-
chased a so horse power engine from
the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co.
Instead, the firm shipped so horse
power engine which was installed,
but failed to do the work required of
it. The council refused to accept the
engine. a new contract was later
made whereby the city purchased a
100 horse power engine instead of the
60 horse power. This was done in
anticipation of a larger number OF
water consumers, and we believe the

city did the proper thing when they
made the change. The smaller one
would have been sufficient at this
time, but with an increase in popula-
ton which is bound to come, the larg-
of engine would take care of the an
ticcipated increase.
When the new equipment has been
installed the supply will be adequate
to furnish water to consumers in all
parts of the city, and especially those
who live in the radius of the extern
sion to the water system which was
made this spring. The capacity OF
the engine and compressor is 400
gallons per minute, with water at 800
feet below the surface of the ground.
On the complexion of the equip
ment the city will have two complete
units which ought to insure water
for all emergencies.
The city council is to be commended

"UNWRITTEN LAW"
TO Be SHOWN HERE
Based Upon Life Story Involving Be-
trayal of Woman's
Honor

The sensational motion picture
drama, The Unwritten Law will be
presented at the Crescent Theatre,
Saturday OF this week, with two
shows 1880 and 8: p. Nj. 1t features
the renowned star, Beariz Michelena,
and is told in seven startling reels.
The Unwritten Law is, as its
name implies drama based on the
oft-contested right of man to defend
the sancitity OF his home to the point
of killing an intruder.
Many times in the courts OF Ameri-
ca it has been upheld, and technical
guilt ignored by juries in returning
a verdict Many other times the un-
written law has been condemned as
a menace to society and the man who
took the law into his own hands has
paid he full penalty. The film
drama presents this interesting thrill
ing manner; but it raises a serious
, question as to wether the "unwritten
law should be recognized by our
courts of justice.
Nevertheless it has been praised
highly throughout the country. 1t
is not a picture for children but goes
far as warning to young men and
women The price will be 10 and 20
cents.

At last the long cherished dream
of Arkansas humantarians is to be
realized in the establishment of a
genuine industrial school for boys
where the delinquent and under priv
ileged may have an opportunity to
win a place for themselves in the
world without being subjected to the
criminal influences of a penal insti-
tuition. For years Miss Julia Houston
and others have been working on
the project, and the state law makers
were at last aroused to the urgent
needs of the boys. Several years ago
the legislature established a reform
school but that was not just what
was wanted 1t was a long step in
the right direction, but IT fell short
of the requirements. In the first
place, the name was wrong. Psy-
biologists have said there was no
such thing as a bad boy. Under
proper restrictions and the proper
influences every boy can be saved
from a life of crime. The idea Of
reform" was therefore repugnant to
those who would take the boy and
educate him. segregate him during
impressionable years from those who
would lead him astray, and make of
him an asset to the state instead of
a liability.
The reform school was established
on rocky section of land six miles
west of Little Rock in 1907. and has
ever since suffered for funds, 1t

and by reason of crowded conditions
boys of all ages were THROWN to-

superintendent was handicapped from
the first. The movement to change
the system by removing the boys to
good farm was started in 1915 by
the probation officers of Pulaski and
Jefferson counties, and the bill was
passed but vetoed by Gov. HAYS. In
1917 the bill was passed to provide
farm for the boys and to convert
the old property into state indus
trial school for girls. But even vet

PUT IN WINTER COVER CROPS
VERY VALUABLE.

Do not forget the value of wheat
oats and rye for cover crops. There
are four distinct values of these three
cover crops.
First. They produce fine winter
pasture.
Second They lessen the washing
of the soil and loss of fertility.
Third The green plants use plant
food that is being liberated through
out the winter and when they are
plowed under great deal of plant
food is saved which would be lost
othrwise.
Fourth. The plants plower under
in the spring will not only add fertil.
ity but humus to the soil and thus in,
crease its moisture holding capacity.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients for about
80 cents Everybody uses this prepare
tion now, because no one can possibly tell
that you darkened your hair, as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another appli-
cation or two your hair becomes beauti-
fully dark, thick and glossy and you
look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
