of the Elks organization has it Of
fered to the public clearer and more
concise story of the patriotism and
generosity of it's members than it did
at a private showing of "The Way
Back" and "The Spirit of Elkdom,"
which were shown to members of the
New York press last Wednesday after
noon in the Joseph Miles projection
rooms in the Gambler Building.
1.-The Way Back tells an interest
ing and vivid story of two chaps who
upon their return from the war, one
having lost his right arm, the other
the use of his lambs, discover the ne
cessity of securing employment.
The Spirit of Elkdom," compan-
ion picture to "The Way Back" prov
ed interesting to the audience because
it is the first picture of its kind
which has ever been produced showing
the firm foundation upon which the
order is built. That they may carry
on. grow stronger in membership, and
even greater in deeds, if the latter is
possible, is the sincere wish of all
who had the pleasure of witnessing
the performance.

Land TITLES INVOLVED
in CHANCERY ACTIONS
Plaintiffs Say Deeds Unrecorded and
LOst-Other Suits Filed
in Courts.

Failure to record certa n deeds eX-
ecuted in 1860 and 1880 is the cause
OF two petitions for confirmation of
title filed today in Faulkner chan
Gerry court. The action involves title
TO 100 acres of land now in the pos
session of Chris Bunker and P. E.
and S. Q. Starkey, situated about two
miles east of Conway on the Beebe
road. The unknown heirs of George
Hughes and William Zelhart are
named as defendants in the actions,
which petition for confirmation of
title and that the unknown he RS be
Invested of whatever equity they hold
in the lands by virtue of the destroyed
or lost deeds. George F. Hartje is
attorney for the plaintiffs in both
cases.
The petitions recite that George
Hughes made deed in 1860 conveying
100 acres of land to Elsey P. Stone,
but that it was never recorded. 1t
is also asserted in the complaint filed
by P. E. and S. @. Starkey that in
1880 Zelhart executed a deed to J. H.
McCulloch, which was lost and not
recorded. In 1884, the complaint says
he made an erroneous deed in favor
of Maria NJ. Halter, which clouds the
title to the lands now held by the
plant ifs. The court is asked to es-
tablish the deed made in 1860 and to
quiet the title of the defendants.
A third suit involv ng lost and un-
recorded deeds and incorrect trans
fers was filed by A. L. Merritt against
the unknown heirs of Andrew P.
Glenn, W. NJ. Cate ct al. Fourteen
different instruments conveying prop
erty are mentioned in the complaint
and ther errors pointed out and asked
This action involves the
title to 1919 acres of land.
George Stermer today filed suit in
circuit court to compel ]. H. Noggle
to observe the terms and carry out a
contract alleged to have been made
for the 1919 rental of lands owned by
Mr.. Stermer. Payment to the plain
IF was due December 81, 1919, the
says, but has not been
made. The defendant, it is alleged,
made three bales of cotton on the
land and is now about to sell them for
the purpose of defrauding Mr.. Ster-
mer out of his rental. Judgment for
$3.50 is asked and the issuance of al
writ of attachment against the pro-
duce.

LEGION TO WITNESS
ELKS WAR PICTURES

The regular meeting of the Theo-
dore Campbell post of the American
Legion, announced for Thursday
night, was postponed today so that
its members and all ex-service men
may see the vocational training films
to be shown at the Ideal theatre at
that time under the auspices of the
Conway Elks lodge. H. L. McAlister,
commander of the post, today ordered
the postponement until Thursday
night, June "a. As the Elks pictures,
"The Way Back" and "The Spirit of
Elkdom," deal with the care and edu-
cation of men disabled and disadvan-
tagged in the war, the first cause to
which the legion has dedicated its eff
forts, it was though that the informa-
ton carried by the pictures would
help the legion to better accomplish
its purpose.

U. s. ENDORSES FILMS
ON VOCATIONAL WORK

The United States government,
through the board for vocational train
ing, has given its Official approval
to the photoplays, "The WAY Back
and "The Spirit of Eikdom," which
will be exhibited Thursday, matinee
and night, at the Ideal theatre under
the auspices of the Conway Elks lodge.
The federal board also co-operated
with the Elks grand lodge in pre-
pairing the pictures, and high govern
ment officials have added the weight
of their approval. General Pershing
appears in one scene of "The Spirit
of Flkdom" which shows the recep-
ton gwen him by the New York lodge
upon his return from France.
Advance sale of tickets to the show
ing here tomorrow indicates a heavy
attendance. The first matinee will
re started promptly at o'clock and
the show will be continuous then until
IL o'clock. So far as possible, the pub
lie is advised to attend the matinee,
as the house will be crowded at night.
Exhibition of the films here will be
the second in Arke nsas, having been
shown Monday at Fort Smith. They
will he shown later at Little Rock.

ROY ROGERS FOR ASSESSOR.

The formal announcement of Roy
Rogers as candidate for reelection
as tax assessor of Faulkner county
appears in this issue of the Log
Cabin Democrat. While Mr.. Rogers
has never had any intention other than
that of seeking a second term, he
states, he has deferred making his an
nouncement until he had practically
completed his years work in making
the assessment for 1920, in order to
avoid any suspicion of mixing politics
with his official duties Mr.. Rogers
record as assessor is one in which he
takes pride, and on which he will
stand in his race for reelection. Ger
tain it is that he has devoted more
actual time and energy to the for
midable task of securing an equitable
assessment than many of his preces-
sors and has earnestly endeavored to
be fair both with the state and coun-
ty and districts and with the tax
payers in the valuation of property for
taxation. He does not claim that his
assessment is exactly equal and just
everywhere, and no assessment ever
will be, but he has succeeded in dis
trlbuting the tax burden perhaps more
evenly than it has been in some prev
lous years and has at the same time Sc
cured very creditable increase in
the total assessment. When he was
nominated two years ago he made a
runaway" race in field of several
candidates and his friends feel sure
he will be given a second term at
the August primary.
