ASK SITE FOR BOYS
SCHOOL BE DONATED
Trustees Anxious to Locate New
State Institution in Time to
Make Crop.

Little Rock, April 10.-The boards
of trustees of the state industrial
schools solicit donations of a site of
not less than 200 acres for farming
purposes, upon which to locate the
boys school, and contributions in
money or materials to be used in the
construction of the necessary OUTLAWS.
1t is requested that all offers be sub
mitted by May l, so that the school
may be located in time for the rails
ing of a crop this year.
These donations are necessary be-
cause the legislature failed to make
an appropriation to purchase the
site and required that it be located on
lands to be donated. The law pro-
vides that the new girls school shall
be located on the present site of the
boys school, and until site can be
secured, it will be impossible for eth
er school to make any progress. 1t is
estimated that the boys school means
an income of at least $4,000 year
to the community where it is located.
In a message to the people of the
state, Governor Brough says, Your
careful attention and patronage of
this worthy cause is urged"
The boards are as follows:
Boys school-John w. Wade, Lit
tie Rock, chairman; Miss Julia Hous-
tob, Pine Bluff, secretary; W. H.
Laney, Clarendon; F. T. Reynolds,
Fort Smith; Mrs. Anna B. Stroops,
Stuttgart.
Girls school-Mrs. Chas. L. Schaf-
er, Little Rock, chairman; Mrs. NJ.
B. Sanders, Little Rock, secretary;
Mrs. 10 Frauenthal, Conway; DR.. A.
c. Ship, Little Rock; DR.. R. L..
Smith, Russellvile.

TO WHOM THE CREDIT
is DUE.
Observation-Disclosures. j

Upon their return from visit to
six other state normal schools in ad-
,jacent states, two members of the
Arkansas State Normal board of
trustees, through an interview in the
Arkansas Gazette, expressed the
opinion that the Arkansas institution
was apparently doing better work
and was more efficiently managed
than any of the schools that they
visited.
To whom is this fortunate condi-
ton due more than to the man who
has been president of the school
since it's establishment? Those who
are in the best position to know the
work of the Arkansas Normal School
the people of Conway, the faculty
student body and alumni of the in
stitution - have unequivocally ex
pressed their belief that the splendid
success of the school is largely due
to the the efficiency, the mental and
moral equipment and the untirine
labors of J. J. Doyne.
The Log Cabin Democrat does not
know that Mr.. Doyne would consent
to withdraw the resignation he has
placed with the board. But the fact
will be conceded that the school has
made good" under his administra
ton, and the trustees would show
their real interest in the schools wei
fare by making every effort to retair
its president before they place it.

A MATTER OF BREAD
AND MEAT.

The Log Cabin Democrat is receiv-
ing daily from the United States gov
eminent departments great quantities
of literature bearing upon the present
war and its economic phases. We
should have to publish a paper as
large as the Sunday edition of the
New York World to print anything
like all this matter. But the burden
of it all is this:
The government expects the south
to feed itself for the next IS months,
at least.
Drouths and billiards have cut the
winter wheat crop of the north and
west to 50,000,00O bushels short of
the 1916 crop and over 200,000,000
bushels short of the 1915 crop. All
the surplus grain and meat that the
north and west can produce and that
the south has heretofore been feeding
upon will this year be required to feed
the armies of the United States and
her allies. There will be none to send
to the south.
1t is not question of the price of
cotton, which may be anywhere from
10 to 80 cents pound. 1t is not
question of money at all, for there will
be superabundance of money in cir
culation by reason of the enormous
war expenditures. 1t is a question
of bread and meat and of where the
south is going to get it if it doesn't
produce it. Next to the war itself,
it is the most serious question con-
fronting the people of the south.
For several weeks we have been see
ing calves, yearlings, little so and rs
pound pigs shipped away from Con-

service he was this papers oldest

pondence columns of the Log Cabin
Democrat.

In regard to the proposed constitution believe in
making few changes in the existing constitution as

In the OLD constitution is economy in public expendi-

constitution should keep taxes low possible con-
slstent with an efficient government Public money is
being wasted foolish schemes to give fat Jobs for
friends Such needless offices should be abolished and
existing offices should be assigned enough work to keep
their holders busy.
Under the present constitution the burdens of taxa

is, the producers, paying more than their proper

provisions as Will make the producing class bear it's
