road program which the state IS at tempting to carry out, must be submit ted to the department for approval. The automobile license division. he 1 said, holds the entire time of 10 peo- 1 pie during the first three months ot 1 the year. War material values at be- 1 tween four and ten million has been given the department for distribution to the counties, and rentals on this equipment is netting about $200,O0C annually, which is going back to the 1 people in the shape of state aid. In- spection of roads while under recon. struction will be carried out by the department. State inspectors will travel under secret orders, and their efforts to secure honest construction will be supplemented by other plans which the department has adopted.
 On account of the shortage of ma terials, labor and equipment, Hr. Owen favors a curtailment for the present of the immense road program. He ad- vised road commissioners here to se- lect one or two of the most important roadways proposed, and to center their efforts in completing them, withhold ing the other districts untid conditions bettered. He declared that no county in Arkansas has prepared more won derful program of good roads than has been prepared for Faulkner.
 Dr. l.. E. Barton, extension agent of Central College, was presented by MT. Torreyson to answer the ques- tion of what a Baptist preacher would do if he had unlimited funds. As a solid business proposal, pr. Barton presented the matter of the new dor mitory proposed by Central. He stat ed that Conway promised $30,000 to the college in the recent campaign, and that the success of the Baptist $75,00O,000 drive now makes it pos sible for funds from this source, con- bined with an offering from Conway, to be used as collateral on loans which will enable erection of the dormitory. As proposed, the building will be of three stories, 210 feet long, and will have GA rooms. It will increase the resident population by at least 100 girls, turning a revenue of from $50,- i 900 to S60, ,000 into Conway each year. AS committee to consult with the college building committee and pre- pare plan of action for submission to the club later, MT. Davis appointed Frank Farris, Enc Hilliard and A. J. Meadors. pr. J. P. Runyan, president of the board, and Doak s. Campbell, president of the college, were present to second pr. Barton's appeal.
 As break between good roads, col leges and modern hotel, the next sub ject, MT. Torreyson paused to praise , the public value services of MT. Far ris to the community, also compliment ing George Shaw, Jr., for able assist ance in the same line of service. w. S. Cazort was introduced to answer whether Conway needed a hotel No doubt was left as to his answer, which sketched the successive church build ings, banks, college buildings which have gone up since Conway had new hotel. Lex B. Davis of Memphis, a travelling salesman, then presented the matter of hotel facilities as viewed by the commercial salesmen and seen also as an investment. He said that between 75 and 125 statesmen call at Conway every day, but take great pains to see that their departurS oc- CUTS before night. Hotel accommoda- tions are the principal thing which a travelling man considers, he said, and a modern hostelry at Conway would result in numbers of visitors here for weekend visits, in preference to spending Sunday in Little Rock He was emphatic in declaring that ho- tel here would pay dividends.
 Dr. John Hugh Reynolds, the next speaker, declared his belief that the city is good and ready to undertake erection of hotel. He asked that the proposal be put in definite shape, and passed over the counter for all | citizens to take stock. When he had concluded, MT Torreyson called es- pecial attention to his narrative about a stop at the Royal Poinciana Hotel at Palm Beach, Fla, where the rates were $50 daily up, table fare extra. Mir Torreyson accused the Hendrix pres ident of borrowing another face before he, a school teacher, attempted such a flyer"
 As concluding numbers on the pro. gram, MT, Torreyson introduced Rev E. P. J. Garrott and Rev. R. L. Jet ton, declaring that no town anywhe re has better ministers than Conway. He expressed the regret of the club that illness prevented Rev. c. M Reyes from being present Rev. Garrott anC Rev. Jetton responded to Mr. Torrey sons call with witty and well receiv ed talks.
