CARROT AROUSfS
CHURCH INTEREST

Drifting" was the theme of Rev.
f. P. J. CARROTS sermon at Wednes-
day nights REVEAL service at the
First Baptist church, and it was lis
tened to by an enlarged congregation
.hat indicated the growing interest in
the meetings. The pastor brought out
forcefully the truth that the tendency
today on tie part Of great many
aspeople was to just drift through
life.
Young people drift without having
a set and worthy purpose in living.
Many church members drift insttad
of seriously seeing their duty as
Christians and marking their lives
by the accomplishment of worthy ef-
fort. Boys and girls drift away from
mother, and then when it is too late
and she has gone to her eternal re-
ward they awaken to discover how
they had neglected her. Some bust
ness and professional men drift and
their affairs evidence the lack of a
strong character and power to do big
anu Boou tnlnSS.
The pastor pleaded for change in
the personal tide of those who are
driftlng-to turn up stream and away
from the evils of the course they have
been drifting in; and he emphasized
the truth that keeping close to the
Bible and Christian life would pre-
vent drifting. George Reynolds, in a
very tender voice sang the solo,
Where is my soul tonight" A ju-
Nor choir has been organized to take
part in the song service.
These revival meetings are attract
ing new faces nightly, and there is
evidence that a great wave of inter-
est is being aroused among Conway
people.

NEW COPPER VEIN FOUND
 AT CASTLE DOME, ARIZONA

Drilling to depth of 5000 feet on the Castle Dome property is reported te have revealed an extensive sulphide deposit of IA per cent with carbonate capping 20 feet deep carrying 212 per cent. Work has been suspended until spring.
 Three drills are to be started at once on 600 acres of the Warrior Cop per company's ground in the Lost Gulch section adjoining the Louis DOT property. Much ore already sL.s been developed by several tunnels on Warrior ground.
 During the last year Superior & Boston shipped ore valued at $200,00O to Miami and Fl Paso smelters. Three veins carrying copper as we'll as an appreciable value in silver are being developed. President T. R. Drum mond is in charge of the mine.
 The Mine Operators company is in. stalling an experimental teaching plant in the Mineral creek section where there are bodies of carbonate ore capping the deeper sulphides.

ASKS BORDER PATROL
 TO STOP BOO1LtCC|NC

A border patrol 1,500 miles long whose duties will be to stop bootleg traffic has been recommended to Pro hibition Commissioner Agent James ShevGu C. the El Paso district Mr. Shevlin said the recommendation was the direct result of his recent inspec- tion of the territory under his juris- diction. He has charge of New Mex ico, Arizona and all but eight counties in Texas.
 "We need more men for this work, " MT. Shevlin said. q am convinced il- licit traffic in liquor can be stopped in this district. I have definite san ction of MT. Kramer.
 q have recommended that we have a prohibition director of field forces stationed permanently in Phoenix and another in Albuquerque. This dis trict embraces 50O,000 square miles and is too vast to be adequently hand led from one main office or by one main office force. We have 1,50O miles of border to patrol"
 "How many men have you now and how many do you hope to have work ing in this district under your direc- tion?" Mir. Shevlin was asked.
 Commissioner Kramer has request ed that the number of prohibition a. gents in any one district be withheld from publication" he answered. There fore I don't feel free to say how many new ones I have asked for. But if my plans mature, we will have force adequate and able to stop this bootleg business. I believe, also, that prohib- ition agents can be courteous and eff fective at the same time. Any men who continue to work out of this office must be both."
 Estimate of the force sufficient tc patrol 1,500 miles of border vary from 1,500 or one man to the mile, to 4,500 Because of Commissioner Kramer's ruling of silence, efforts to verify sucl estimates were futile.

CLOTHES IN PARIS
furs Disappear and Summer
 Hats and Dresses Arrive.
MiIady Is Not Confined to Any One Fashion, but May Choose
 From Hundreds.

The fine weather has brought out many gay clothes, writes Paris core spondent in the London Times. Furs have almost disappeared, large hats are taking the place of small ones, and summer dresses that of spring tailor mades.
 Some of the dresses are fantastic in style and need great deal of wear ing; others are delightfully."- simple. The general effect of all the new styles is interesting and diverting. There is not one fashion, nor even two, but hundreds, so that there is no monotony, and almost any style is rec ognized. The only thing that looks completely out of date is the long skirt, and the very short skirt Is de clining in favor. It is now worn chief ly by young women who lunch in the Tuileries gardens on a crOisSant and a bit of chocolate; they almost dis close their knees and allow no more than yard and half in width; pos sibly they are inspired by methods of economy. Far more becoming is the ankle-length skirt, just slim enough for comfort and grace. A neat little tailor-made with plsse side-panels, a coat with plisse basques, shawl collar and cuffs, in striped blue, green and black; under it a green crepe blouse lightly embroidered in blue and black, with black taffetas hat and a lace veil, give result that is neat and effective. FOulard, crepe marOcain, taffetaS, and crepe de chine are made up in many different styles for the afternoon. The plisse skirt is preva- lent, and the plisse tunic slit at the sides Is in favor. Short sleeves, low neck, and sasheS make an unimpOrtant bodice to most dresses, and long gloves replace sleeves-an expensive substitute, for 40 francs is general price, and one days wear means @ cleaners bill.
 It is In the Bols, the Champs Elysees. and at private parties that the best-dressed women are to be found; and they are very we'll dressed indeed. Perfect shoes costing 25O francs the pair, cobwebby stockings 50 francs, and capable of enduring one days wear, a silk dress with no more volume in 1t than will fold into a handbag, for which 1,2OO francs at least is paid, hat with lace brim

0BLONG PARAS0L 1920 MODEL
Transparent, Gayly coIoned Things,
 Wet and Glistenino, Are Atten- E. tion Arresting.

The dreariness of rainy day may be utterly defied If one is fortified by bright colored oiled silk umbrel- Ia. Although we have become accus- toned to protecting ourselves from the downpour by umbrellas of bright silks, these transparent, gayly colored things, all wet and glistening with rain, are attention arresting. They come in colors as brilliant as the rain bows hues. The transparent effect is carried out even In the tips and the handles, which are of bakelite.
 The oblOng parasol Is the parasol of 1920. So say it's makers. But 1t Is impossible to predict the extent of It's success. There Is no reason why we should not carry oblong parasols. They certainly have many advantages over the round ones. There are few CT angles to Interfere with your own or other peoples hats on a crowded promenade. Then one can set them on the beach with the certainty that they will not roll away under the i'm petus of the slightest breeze. When closed they give petal effect.
