CONSUMERS MUST
 CONSERVE WATER

That it is necessary for the water consumers of Newport to limit the use of their hydrants at this time, is the opinion of o. P. Moss, manager of the Arkansas Light & Power Company, who told the Independent this morning that White river is be- coming alarmingly low, making it difficult to pump the desired amount of water for distribution over the city. Should serious fire break out in Newport, MT. Moss said, the situa-s tion would be hard to handle.
 Owing to the shallowness of the river the suction pipes are not giv- ing desired results, and only one of the two pumps at the pumping sta- tion could be depended upon in case of emergency. MT. Moss today had . steamboat to anchor near the suc- tion pipes, which will be raised and placed in such position, it is hoped, as to secure an ample supply of wa ter
 However, every consumer of water should guard against extravagant use of water, and aid in conserving the supply as much as possible.

Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Aug. 14.-After eff forts had been made to reduce the membership of the House of repre- sentatives to 36, and r, and other numbers, the constitutional conven- tion yesterday took another course and increased the membership to no, instead of the original 100 as provid ed for. This change was made with much less debate than any of the other changes that had been made, and is likely to stand. It was follow ed by an attempt on the part of Clay Sloan to re-district the state in to 25 instead of 34 senatorial dis tricts, but the amendment was ruled out of order.
 Under the new apportionment the counties will be represented in the lower house as follows:

With the Germans fighting des- perately at every vantage point, the allied progress eastward in Picardy continues slow. The British and Ger mans on the northern end of the front are engaged mainly in recipro- cal artillery bombardments, while on the one to the south the French have advanced further toward Lasslgny. From Morlancourt to Lihons the Brl- tish apparently are consolidating their captured ground. The Ger mans are maintaining the old posi- tions of 1916-17 west of the upper course of the Somme river The French have made appreciable gains between Matz and the Disc river, and are reported unofficially to be hold ing the important massif of Lassig- ny.
