in 5-acre tracts up to the time the

appointed. The receiver has not sold
off any lots, but has kept up the cult

BOY IS DROWNED IN ARKANSAS RIVER

Roy Tew, 12-year-old son of Thomas Few, was drowned in the Arkansas river on the Cribbs place about 6:30 o'clock Friday afternoon and Mr. Tew narrowly escaped a similar fate when he went to the boys rescue.
 The lad was picking up driftwood near the waters edge Recent high stages of water had softened the bank of the stream and it caved in with him. Mrs. Tew witnessed the acci- dent and called her husband, who was working in the field nearby. Mir. Tew. regardless of the fact that he was un- able to swim, plunged into the water and made an intellectual effort to save the boy. With great difficulty his wife succeeded in rescuing him. but the boy was drowned. A large num- Der of men spent several hours last night in efforts to recover the body, but finally gave up the search and de- clded to wait until the river gets back to normal stage before renewing the search.
 Roy Few is survived by his parents two brothers and one sister.

RECORD NUMBER
 ATTEND NORM Al

The number of students in actual attendance at the State Normal School is the highest on record, Pres. B. w. Torreyson said today The total en- rollment for the present session has reached 423, with several more to be matriculated next week. While this is about 50 short of the record of three years ago, when the end of the session showed total enrolment of 475, yet the average daily attendance for the present year has been over 300, MT. Torreyson said, and is at present between 325 and $50. This is considerably larger than the average attendance during the 1916-17 ses- sion, during which the high enroll ment mark was set. President Tor reyson expects the total enrolment for the session ending in June to reach at least 450.
 The attendance could be greatly in- creased with more boarding accommo- dations for students, the president stated. The dormitcry and every avail able student boarding house are crowded to capacity and much difficult ty is being experienced in obtaining homes for the students who are ar irving for work in the last term of the session.

 NEW WARNING
 1OHUNFORCES
By Henry Wood,

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, April 3.-Premier Millerand today handed to Dr. Wilhelm von Mayer, German charge daffaires at Paris, for transmission to his govern ment a new note, demanding the im- mediate removal of German govern ment troops now in the Ruhr district, a part of the zone made neutral un der the terms of the armistice and the treaty of peace
 Premier Millerand insists that France, under the treaty of peace, has the right to occupy Rhinish cities in Germany, against which the Berlin government has protested. Grave warning is given in the note as to re- suits which may follow continued vio- latlons of terms of the peace treaty.
 Communists in the Ruhr district have established communication with the Russian Bolsheviki at Moscow, Pre- mier Millerand declares has been con- clusively proved. Wireless dispatches are exchanged frequently between the two camps.
 Germany is also called upon to take immediate steps to prevent a renewal of radical outbreaks, which are said designed for the establishment of soviet republic in Westphalia.
 Toward the whole subject of revolt and the establishment of soviet, France takes the position that the dan ger of revolution in the Ruhr dis trict has been passed and that the threat of soviet is being used as a subterfuge by which Germany hopes to avoid compliance with terms of the peace treaty. As the danger of re- volt has passed, Premier Millerand declares that the French government can see no reason why German troops should remain longer in the Rhur dis trict.
