Missouri Pacific here, and an express
agent installed. The express office
here has for many years been main
tanned with the railway station agent
as its agent, the business of the COM
pany being handled in his name. This
practice was dropped in other cities
some time ago. Station Agent B. c.
Benedice said, Conway being the last
city of any city to separate the two
businesses.
J. L. kelton, formerly connected
with the Fort Smith office of the
company, has been installed as gent
here. Mr.. kelton is an experienced
express man. j. W. Gould and Tom
Markham, employees of the office be-
fore the change was made, will remain
with Mr.. Kelton. Delivery of ex-
press in the business district and
within a radius of eight blocks of
the station will be made without ad-

Will SPEAK FOR
NEAR EAST RELIEF

Capt. George B. Hyde of New York
city, national speaker for the near
east relief, will lecture at the First
Presbyterian church tonight at s
o'clock. Captain Hyde spent Is
months in Turkey as field director for
the American Red Cross and near east
relief, returning to this country in
July of last year During these
months he was in actual touch with
deplorable conditions there, establish
ing a relief home where thousands of
Armenian girls and orphans were
taken care of. His lecture is based
upon existing conditions and is a mar
alive of real happenings, and no adj
mission fee is charged.
The Arkansas committee for near
east relief, of which NJ L. Altheimer
is chairman and former Major Virgil
A. Beeson secretary, is receiving a
generous response from the people of
Arkansas, Mr.. BeesO said today.
Every dollar given for relief actually
goes for relief All expenses of the
campaign are paid from the private
funds of Cleveland H. Dodge and his
associates in New York City. Revolv
ing expense funds are kept in each
state by Mr.. Dodge and per cent in
terest thereon is paid by the state de-
pository. This interest does not go
back into the pocket Of Mr.. Dodge,
but goes to the credit Of the relief
fund. In addition thereto the same
rate of interest is paid on daily bal
ances in the relief fund, and this
added to the dollar contributed makes
the dollar given for relief actually go
for relief worth approximately STOP.
Near east relief is also incorporated
under an act of congress and accounts
are audited by the department of
state.
To feed, cloth, shelter and educate
an Armenian or Syrian orphan costs
approximately SIS per month. Faux
ner county will be asked to care for
20 of these orphans and campaign
to raise funds will be inaugurated here
in the near future.
