BANK IS INSTALLING
 NEW BURGLAR ALARM

An electric burglar and hold-up alarm system is being installed this week at the Farmers State Bank. The device is so arranged that if the com binations or locks on any of the vault or safe doors are touched after be- ing closed for the night a siren on the outside of the building, which can be heard a distance of several blocks, Is set off. To protect against daylight hold-ups buttons concealed in the floor of the tellers' cages and vaults may be touched with the foot, setting off the alarm. Officers of the bank say they are not anticipating any trouble in this respect, but installa- tion of the device reduces the rate ot burglary and hold-up insurance to such an extent as to make 1t paylng investment.

SALVATION ARMY
 CAMPAIGN OCT. 4

Preliminary arrangements for the drive to secure a quota of S2,500 for the Salvation Army in this county are being made by Mayor W. D. Cole, who is county chairman. The quota, while a small one, will require some work to secure, and various organizations are lining up with the drive to help put it over. An especial appeal will be made for work by ex-service men and the American Legion, nn account of the high regard in which the Sal vation Army won through it's war ae- tivities.
 The fund being raised by the army io for the support of it's ho ne service, which will reach into every community and aid in solving numerous prob lems. The program is an enlarge ment of the former work of the army, and was framed for the express pur- pose of conferring benefits upon the country and city alike. A part of it is embraced in the rescue homes, to which unfortunates may be assigned upon application by the county exc cutive committee; the home for the "down and out" which has placed en- tire families in good circumstances and independent of charity; and the direct gifts of aid in needy cases. All the resources of the army will be direct ly available to the county, and the xl class investment, in the opinion of civil officers who have closely observed the work of the army.

BUILT TEACHERS HOME
Rural School in Faulkner County Shows Commendable Develop

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please allow me space to write a brief story of the Mt. Vernor s. l. A.. not that it might give us publicity, but perhaps it will encourage the wom- en of other districts of the county to organize and make the schools of our county stronger.
 Mt. Vernon is school district of about three square miles and has a population of about $50 pupils. The people realizing they must make great CT effort to give their children better educational opportunities floated bonds in 1915 and built a modern fourroom school building and had five months of school that winter. In the fall of 1916, Prof. A. A. Parsons, with Mrs. Rogers and Miss Mary Goad, opened our first eight months term of school. We did not have public funds to finance the school, but as soon as the school was organized and under working or der Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal was in vited to meet the people in a mass meeting at the school building. Prof. Parsons in few words explained the financial condition of the district and asked the mothers to organize an $. I. A. as a school auxiliary. Mrs. Frauenthal was introduced and made a strong appeal to the mothers who gladly responded to her appeal to organize and make the school room a more congenial place for the teachers and pupils.
 At the first meeting Dr. T. C. Wat son advanced the idea of teacher S home. A piano was purchased and placed in the school, shades were put over the windows at once and many other minor Improvements were made
 We were plunged into the world war just at the close of our first term of high school and been forced to re- duce our teaching force to two teach CTS the second year, but the teacher the school board and s. I. A. never gave up cooperating with each other " | were dDle lO IdISt IuluS u lIleSl our obligations, pay our teacher anC keep up regular improvements, not withstanding we were forced to buy war stamps, liberty bonds and contri- bute to the different auxiliaries that helped to win the war. Our district bought five eighths of all the thrift stamps sold on the first round MT Hinton made in Faulkner county.
 After the war closed we took up in earnest our building project again and the first step to raise funds was a then" party given by Mrs. A. A. Parsons and Mrs. E. B. Addison Every one who came bought hen and these hens were sold and from these we secured our first funds with which to build our teachers home. This home was built and practically paid for in 12 months after the teachers took charge of it. We plan to do even more than this in the next few years.
 We won the prize last year in the Arkansas State Teacher Associa- tion for having made the greatest inn provement of any rural school in Ar kansas. We open school this year with an suspicious outlook for good school year. Any district wishing to organize a school improvement asso- citation and needing our help we will gladly help organize if you will call for us. Ethel Powers.

 Alice Joyce seems destined to have the same distinction.
