LEGION SECURES
 MILLION FOR VETS

Claims held by ex-service men amounting to $1,200, ,50I10 were ad- justed through the American Legion in Arkansas during the year clos ing September 1, according to a state ment given William R. James, war risk officer of the Theodore Campbell post, by Leigh Kelley of Fort Smith, state commander. The various claims adjusted with the governmement in- clude compensation and other bene- fits for the disabled, back and travel pay, restoration of liberty bonds and the like. Commander Kelley, in his note, praises the painstaking and eX- tended work done by the war risk of ficers in carrying the claims to sat isfactory settlement.
 A clean up campaign during the month of October, to secure and ad- just claims still held by eX-service men, has been launched by the legion and veterans whose financial relations with the government have not been ad- justed should see the war risk of ficer and file claim for adjustment. Numerous cases have proved that claims filed with the legion received more prompt handling by the govern ment than through any other agency
 Official notice has been given the legion by the surgeon general of the army that veterans likely to be bene- fited by any treatment available at Hot Springs will be received at the army and navy hospital, and maintain ed there at a nominal cost of $1.1O per day. The offer is limited by the scarcity of accommodations, and ap- phcations must be accompanied by a statement of the applicants war ser vice and physicians statement of his condition.

STATE DEMOCRATS
 APPEAL FOR HELP

4 fund to be used in defraying the necessary expenses of the party in Arkansas is being raised by the State Democratic Central Committee, which has fixed small quotas for all coun- ties and has appointed chairmen to secure the amounts. Frank Paris, vice president of the Farmers State Bank, is chairman for Faulkner coun- ty, and the quota assigned is so nomi- nal, Mir. Farris thinks it can be easi- ly made up by contribution of 50 or S1 by loyal Democrats. Contributions may be left at the Farmers State Bank, and the donors will be given proper credit Charles $. Mccain of Little Rock is chairman of the state finance committee
 While the state is safely in the Democratic column, some expense is necessarily incurred in maintaining the organization. The fund being rais- ed is for this purpose, and will be ex- pended to good advantage.

WAFER co. FOUGHT
 AT RUSSELLV|LLE

Russellville, Sept. 25.-The right of patrons to refuse to pay for water fur nished by public service corporation when the water is muddy and unfit for household purposes, will be deter mined by Chancellor Sellers in a case to be heard in the Pope chancery court today.
 For many weeks during the summer, hydrant water furnished by the Ar kansas Light and Power Company was muddy and samples sent to the state board of health were declared unfit for drinking. Mayor Brown Rogers in- structed patrons to refuse to pay their bills for August, and as long as the company failed to furnish pure water. More than 50 patrons refused to pay, and on the fifteenth, the last day for payment of bills, employees of the company were instructed to disconnect the water to all delinquent patrons. This was done the following day.
 Mayor Rogers filed mandatory in junction to force the company to re- install the service. When the injunc- tion came before Chancellor Sellers he held that the company did not recsNe sufficient notice of the injunction pro- ceedings, but by agreement between attorneys for the company and the citizens the company again connected up the patrons whose service had been discontinued. Mayor Rogers gave bond for cost of connections and un- paid bills.
 The Arkansas Light and Power Company was also grained increased rates by the Arkansas corporation commission, which went into effect August 1, both for water and electric service. This matter has been ap- pealed by the mayor and citizens. Ad- ditional depositions will be taken today and a final decision by the commis- sion will be announced early in Octo Der.

SCHOOL IS
 CROWDED AS EVER
NEW ROOMS ARE FILLED
Increased Enrolment Takes Up Addi. tional Space in Annex, Leaving
 Congestion the Same.

The close of the first week of the Conway public school building as crowded with pupils as it ever was despite the fact that an annex with two large rooms and capacity of 100 pupils has been put in use since the preceding session. The additional quarters are almost exactly balanced by the increase in enrolment, Supt K. E.. Womack said today. Up to last night an enrolment of SOP had been recorded. On the third day of the session one year ago the enrolment was 693, an increase of 109. The en- rollment at the negro school is 150, making total of 952, not including nearly 100 pupils who will attend the Normal training school. The increas- ed enrolment has made it necessary to install more desks and orders for these have been placed, MT. Womack said.
 In the high school the enrolment for the ninth, tenth and eleventh grades is 130. This is exactly double the number in the same grades four years ago, MT. Womack said, and there Is only one more teacher for the high school than there was in 1916. The high school faculty is composed of Misses Nora Brown, Maggie Denison and Leila Bryan, H. R. Adams and J. E. Moore.
 In grades below the ninth the en- rollment is as follows: First grade, Mrs. H. s. Traylor and Miss Ola Ford, IT; second grade, Miss Eunice Jones, 46; third grade, Miss Agnes Maddox, 50; second and third grades, Miss Harry Aker, 43; third and fourth grades, Miss Lela Newton, 49 ; fourth grade, Miss Effie Harrison, 54 4; fifth grade, Miss Sue Flippen AS; fifth and sixth grades, Mrs. Frances Collier, 4S; sixth grade, Mrs. Ida Burns, 62; seventh and eighth grades, Misses Minnie Flippen, Hattie Coulter and Myrtle Lewelling, 132; special room, Mrs. Lee Jones, 9.
 The new department of public school music is proving very popular, Mr. Womack said, under the direction of Miss Virginia Rowland. Lessons in public school singing are made com pulsory upon pupils in the first six grades. In the upper grades the work is elective, but more than half the pu- pills have elected it.
 The school board plans to hold a meeting tonight to consider an offer on the bonds of the district for build ing purposes, which have been issued but not yet sold

here tend from 30 to 50 acres to the team and seem to do it with ease. Land is selling from $50 to $150 an acre, owing to where it is located When you buy land close to this town you have to pay good price for it.
 Now as to the town. This town is located half way between Oklahoma City and Atoka, on branch of the M. K. X T, railway, and has about HOO population. It has one of the best schools in this part of Oklahoma, a fine school building with Il teachers; three churches, Baptist, Methodist and Christian, all having good church houses, and as to schools in the coun- try there is a school house in every di- rection you can go, and good ones. Oklahoma has some as good school laws as any state. But l am not done with the town. It has four good cot ton gins, all equipped with steam and electric power. We have electric lights and water systems, the best water In the whole country according to the an- alyses by the state chemist. We have some of the finest stocks of goods found any where and all seem to be doing a good business. We have eight residences going up at this time and there is not house in town to rent. They ginned 5000 bales of cotton last year and if prospects hold out they will gin around 5000 or more this fall.
 There are some good prospects here for both farmers and mechanics. l think there is one of the best openings here for first class blacksmith and wood workman that know of. Every body here comes to town. They come to trade and to see one an other. There are lot of folks, and good folks, too, from Arkansas here.
 Now as to myself, I think my op- portunities are as good here as there. believe my children will have better advantage here in schoo lthan L could give them where I lived there. l be- lieve it is as healthy here as it is there.
 I hay not written this letter with an eye single to persuade any one to come to this country, but if you do come remember where l am and come to see me. I shall always be loyal to my Faulkner county friends.
