NEW ICE PLANT
 NOW MODERATION AFTER EXTENDED DELAY Big 35-TOn Plant at Mill and North Front Streets is Finally Started
 to Producing Ice.

Machinery of the new ice manu- featuring plant of the Citizens Ice & Fuel Company, at Mill and North Front streets, was put into operation for the first time late yesterday ofter- hoon, and deliveries from the new plant will be begun on next Sunday, Manager W. C. Daugherty said to- day.
 The plant is the best and most mod ern between Little Rock and Fort Smith, MT. Daugherty said When all it's units are installed it will have have capacity of 35 tons per day. Some of the equipment, however is delayed in shipment, and the present capacity is only 16 or IT tons per day. This, however, Mr. Daugherty said is sufficient to supply the present demand of Conway.
 Many difficulties have been en- countered in the construction of the new plant, which was begun Decem- Der 1, last. It was expected that it would be completed by May l, but numerous delay in the shipment of building materials and machinery have occurred and even yet the plant is not entirely complete. The cost of the plant is approximately $55,O00, Mr. Daugherty said.
 During the present sumer most of the ice consumed here had to be shipped from other towns and the service was not only unsatisfactory to the consumers but unprofitable to the company. No further difficulties along this line are feared, however. Mr. Daugherty said.
 Officers of the company are A. H. Lightner, Ossawatomie, Kan, presi- dent; W A. Hill. Morrilton v'ce-pres- ident; Miss Elizabeth Mechanism. RussellvilIe. secretary and W C. Daugherty, Conway manager A meet ing of the stockholders of the com pany will be held next Saturday when a treasurer will bo elected and other business transacted

CITIES GROW BUT
 COUNTRY DECLINES

Little Rock. Aug. 26.- The census being made now continues to justify the theory advanced some time ago
 that there has been an increase in
 the population of towns and cities
 at the expense of the rural commun-
 ties. Not single county of the state
 is an exception to the rule that rural
 townships show heavy decrease in
 population and that scarcely a single
 incorporated town or city shows a de-
 crease. In Marion county for in
 stance, 13 of the 26 townships show an actual decrease of 1.197, ranging from 45 to 257 each. The county it.
 self shows decrease of 49 in ten years and 1928 in 20 years. These conditions are not confined wholly to counties of smaller population. Wash ington county which is more than three times as popular as Marion, has F townships out of 31 which show a decrease of 109l in ten years, while the county itself has an increase of l 1,579. Seven incorporated cities and towns show an increase without eX- cept on and so it goes throughout the state. It is an indisputcd proof that the people have been leaving the farm and seeking homes in the city.
