Before returning to Little Rock yes terday afternoon, Inspector C. P Newton of the federal prohibition de- partment expressed high opinion of the sentiment in this county favoring strict enforcement of federal prohibit ton statutes. Inspector Newton went carefully over the situation here. He inspected local drug stores and found them to be clean and ethical. He as serted, however, that it is known by the Little Rock office that moonshine abuses are being committed in this county, and appealed for the support of all citizens, which he declared to be essential to law enforcement, in break ing up the practice.
 Inspector Newton declared that Conway and the entire county are high above the average in standards of citizenship and willingness to con form to state and national prohibition laws which he believes have the sup port of 80 per cent of the people of the state Despite this fact, he as serted that the citizenship must come to realize that prohibition is not going to be self-enforeing, and that a sharp look out must be maintained for vio lations.
 Various counties of Arkansas are being inspected by Inspector Newton. His work is being done under the di- rection of David A. Gates, prohibition officer for Arkansas and supervising agent for the states of Arkansas Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico.

MOVEMENT DOES NOT

 This is according 10 a statement sent out recently by Dr s. Earl Taylor, general secretary of the movement. in answer to reports that the move, ment was seeking denominational or. ganic union. He said that individual members doubtless had their views on the question, but the movement has deferred such matters to other bodies, which are giving attention 10 them

ELKS STAGE MINSTREL
 WITH GREAT SUCCESS
Draper's Big Company Puts Over Theatrical Fine ely-Dixie Quartctte
 On Tonight's Program.

If there were any who were skep-
 tics as to the class of the Elks min
 strels, they had their doubts go gl.m-
 mering the first few minutes of the
 high class and hugely enjoyable per
 formance last night Showing un-
 eXcelled training and going through ! their acts with "pep" and precision
 the big company working under the 1 capable direction of Clint Draper
 ended up several minutes before Il | o'clock what was easily the most sue cessful show of it's kind ever given in Conway. Not once did the speed and training of the company falter, and as individuals and as a whole, the young men and old men on the stage acquit- ted themselves with great credit. In fact, the audience seemed unsuitable for some parts of the show, George Newborn and Fred Bush in a singing and dancing act, Mandy" drawing the limit of three encores.
 All parts of the minstrels were pre- sented with commendable stagecraft. The opening numbers went over in fine shape, followed by Mrs. William Van Valkenburg and her dancing boys in an act which drew great applause and called the players back for two encores. A really high class singing speciality, "The Darktown Four" pre- sented songs, some well known and others new. MT. Draper, F. V. Lever cit, Homer F. Hess and Keith l.. Hol- loway were the four. Messrs. George Shaw, Jr, Bugs" Owen, Fred Bailey and Fred Scott were the next hit, pre- senting their novel act Conway ir the Year 2000." Their impersonatior was perfect and the very clever lines given them repeatedly brought down the house.
 The third and final act, which was real minstrelsy, was diverting and ex- tremely well executed. Previous to this act, B. W. Torreyson, president of the Normal, had contributed great ly to the fun by his remarks as an nouncer. When the final act opened. he retired in favor of Ed L. Hinton, who was interlocutor. This act in cluded song and dance numbers and well spoken jokes which frequently had local people as their objects. The show ended with "The Star and Stripes Forever" song and march by the entire company.
 Tonight an added feature will be songs by the Dixie Quartette of Little Rock, which is expected to arrive on the afternoon train. MT. Draper e.. teens the Dixie singers as probably the very best musical organization which helped him in his numerous shows for the Elks Several changes also have been made in the show as presented last night, and "second nighters" will witness program which MT. Draper is confident they will enjoy.

riders found themselves under the

were made public, yet they have re-

pulled his hall in the general d.
rection of the seventh tee. The
sphere bounded. struck a caddy
on the head, then carOmed over
L. B. Bromfleld. who was on the
tee ready to drive, and landed
in the shirt pocket of r. p.
Barry, who was standing be-
side the tee. A fine argument
resulted over the manner Of
playing the next shot. Several
members in the group proposed
that they lay Barry down with
his head toward the hole and
let the owner play his ball out
Of the pocket as best he could.
Barry couldn't see the wisdom
of this proposal from any angle,
his principal objection being
that he had no extra ribs to

AMERICAN SHOOTERS
PROVE SUPERIORITY
Records Made in Olympic Games
Over Other Nations.
Rifiemen From This Country Won
Every Event but One and In That
They Tied for First Honors-
Won Two Second Places.

United States riflemen in the
Olympic games in Belgium scored 43
points. The rifle shots representing
IA other nations scored only Al points.
This proves conclusively the superior
ity Of American mhrksmen.
American riflemen won every event
hut one, and in that one they tied for
flrst place. Not only that, but they
won two second places and three third
places and in one event they won first,
second and third-and this against the
pick Of the riflemen Of the world.
The trapshooters representing Uncle
Sam showed representatives Of Eu-
rope in the Olympic games how scat
terguns should be used. when they
won the first five places in the trap
shooting championship, and every man
on the American team was higher
than the highest shooter on any other
team in the team competition.
Then the rifle shooters did the rest.
Commander Osburn won the indi-
vidual championship at 800 meters
and Lieutenant Spooner won the
championship at 600 meters. Sergeant
Fisher Of the Marines won the indi-
vidual championship with all kinds of
firearms. The free-for-ull style of
shooting, and the team matches at
300 and 600 meters were all won by
the United States teams. The small
