Water consumption is about 9,000,- 900 gallons per day, of which Camp Pike, Fort Roots and North Little Rock combined use 2,600,000 gallons, the remainder being used in Little Rock.
 The raw water from the river is first pumped into settling basin in which the larger part of the mud is allowed to settle out. From this ba- sin it is drawn off into a coagulating basin, where coagulants are added. The function of the coagulants is to gather together the fine particles of mud into small punches the size of pin heads and these punches become heavy enough to settle, so in this ba- sin the balance of the mud is settled out, and the water leaving this basin is ready to be filtered
 From this basin the water goes to the two filter plants. In passing through the filters all of the remaining floating matters in the water IS re- moved as well as any harmful fac teria that might be left.
 After the water is filtered it is treated with chloride of lime. Chlo- rine and chloride of lime are the most modern agencies for steriizing water but have only been used for this pur- pose since 1908. In other words, the water goes through four processes of purifiaction: First, selimentation; sec on, coagulation; third, filtration; fourth, sterilization. In these pro- cesses of purifcation all discolorings and harmful bacteria are removed.
 The company employees a chemist who analyses the water daily and it is also analysed daily by the city, state board of health, and the government at Camp Pike.

STAY GRANTED { MEN NDOOMFO
 IN DEATH CELL
(By United Press)

Chictgo, Oct 13-Stay of execution granted seven of Chicago's 12 men sentenced to be hanged Thursday and Friday today reduced the number to five. Governor Lowden granted re- prieves to Thomas Frrico, Joe Cos tanzo, Anthony Lopez, Sam Ferrara, Richard Wilson, Sam Cardinelli and Harry Andrae.
 Jailer Lee, who vii serve as execu- doner. said today the hanging of the remaining five will be strictly private, with only court officials and news paper men as spectators. Il hope they don't collapses' he added as an after thought. Il hate to see a man have to be propped up to be killed. They are like dish rags and their bodies flop"
 As scheduled at the jail after the rcprieves had been granted, Nick Viana, Frank Campione and Frank Eager will be hanged tomorrow, and Arthur Hansel and John Henry Reese, . negro, will follow them on Friday. Hansel has twice beenF granted re- Prieves, but this time seems doomed. He ~eas convicted of the murder of his wife, the other Il criminals being un- der death sentence for the staying of men in each instance. Their cases have been affirmed by the supreme court
 The death watch was placed today over the three who are to die tomor- row. Clergymen attended them, while the guard of three men paced the hall way. As a special favor, Jailer Lee ordered attendants to supply the pris- oners with as many cigars and cig- arettes as they wishes, and to per- init them their choice of food.
 Gallows erected for the executions are in pairs, two of the condemned to go at once The trap will hurl their bodies 20 feet through space. Jailer Lee displayed the ropes, saying that the cost of hanging also has ad- vanced. Ropes used for hanging now cost $l0 each," he said, "and we have to pay an expert 75 cents for each moose placed around the neck of the man to be hanged. A loose moose, you know, will throw the body through space, but will not bring death, letting the prisoner in for second round of agony

 Aside from the regular minstrel feature in this show there will be several novelty acts such as are pre- sented by some of the biggest shows in New York. One act in particular in which Sam Donnell and Russell Brown will be featured, is one of the funniest acts ever seen on the stage and these two clever comedians cer- tainly know how to put it over." Fred Bailey too, will appear in an act that IS a distinct novelty and which is one fthe hits of the performance. Lots of dancing will be introduced and the costuming is particularly effect i've and striking.

THE NEW BAND.

The new Band of Woud held their
initial practice meeting at the Wood
Garage last Saturday, as per previous
call. Some ten of the membership
was present, but not all had received
their instruments, however there were
enough present with their instruments
to make 1t verv good practice meet
ing They succeeded in making quite
a noise. The indicetions are that
Leader Joneschiet will not experience
much difficulty in whipping his Band
in shape so that they will be able to
render some quite respectable music,
and we look forward to some street
concerts the coming summer. The
new music was here and the entire
membership was quite enthusiastic.
1t begins to look as though Wood is
going to have a real live band, and
now the way to make thisa real live
anG successful organization is for
everybody to get behind the organiza
tien and boost in every way possible
and for the membership to also make
it point to attend every rehersal re
gardiess of weather conditions or any
thing else. Here's to the new Wood
Band, may it continue to grow and
prosper and be credit to the town
and the entire Rosebud country.

than even the most favored closed-shop industry has
ever attained before.
1t does not prohibit strikes. And it guarantees
collective bargaining. 1t meets every demand of the
strctest unionism.
WELL THEN WHAT is GOMPERS HOWLING
ABOUT?
The truth is, brother unionist that Mr.. Gompers
is Democrat and he has raised the Cummins-E -Esch
issue a camoufage to embarrass the Republicans
If he really in earnest against the Cummins-
Esch Law, he would tell you some more things.
He would tell you that, while Senator Harding
Republican, voted for the bill, President Wilson,
Democrat, SIGNED the bill If he is "non partisan"
WHY DOESN'T HE BLACKLIST WILSON, TOO?
He would tell you that Governor Cox HAS
NEVER DECLARED HIMSELF AGAINST THE
CUMMINS-ESCH LAW. If Mr.. Gompers is in
earnest, why doesn't he force Governor Cox to come
out against the bil before he tells union men to
vote for him?
He would tell you that the Democratic Platform
this year demands "a FULL TEST OF THE CUM
MINS-ESCH LAW" Then why vote Democratic if
you don't want the law?
He would tell you that the majority of the
Democrats in the United States Senate voted the
same way that Senator Harding voted. Why then
does he pick out the Republican Party for his
blacklist?
THE TRUTH IS THAT MR.. GOMPERS IS A
DEMOCRAT. He wants TO DELIVER YOU TO
HIS PARTY. BUT DON'T BE FOOLED ON THIS
CUMMINS-E -ESCH ISSUE. STUDY THE Law
THEN CHOOSE THIS TICKET.

A Labor Bill Of Righ'
That is what Senator Harding
calls the Cun1n1inS-ESCh Law

81 think the Cummins- Esch Law the most con-
siderate piece of legislation enacted in the pro-
lection of any group of workmen in the United
States," he declares
But on the other hand, Mr.. Gompers and his
"Non-Partisanites" denounce the law. They have
called it outrage They call upon labor to black
list Senator Harding because he gave it his VOTE
Who is right?
Suppose Mr.. Workingman, that Congress should
single out your industry and decree that the wages
and conditions in that industry should no longer be
left to the caprice of your employer but should be
made forever thereafter matter of public concern
to be guaranteed by federal action and upheld by
federal law
Suppose that in this industry system be estab-
shed whereby you would be able to better your con-
dition without resortng to costly strikes; that a
tribunal should be created giving you equal repre-
sentation with your employers, to hear and adjud-
cate all disputes wage demands and grievances;
that behind this tribunal would stand all the power
of Uncle Sam to you square deal.
Suppose in addition, that Congress should further
guarantee your wage scale by drafting "bill of
rights" for labor to govern all wage decisions of
this tribunal; that by so doing the wage scales in
your industry should be forever insured against the
uncertain operations of the law of supply and de-
mand, and based upon considerations of humanity
and justice.
Would such system outrage to you?
Would it not, on the contrary, give you frmer
standing in your industry than you have ever known
before?
And yet this is what the Cummins- Esch Law
establishes. 1t gives to railroad labor MORE POWER
