 Some of the pupils are very glad that the snow is gone so that we can play etball.-Reporter

DRILL NEW FIELD
 WITH ELECTRICITY

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-El Dorado wells will be drilled with electricity, according to plans of H. c. Couch, president of the Arkansas Light & Power Company, who applied today to the Arkansas Corporation Commis- sion for permit of convenience and necessity" to build a high-tension transmission line from Fl Dorado six miles into the oil field. Distributing lines will be constructed, as required. The Arkansas Light X Power Com pany owns and operates the electric plants at Fl Dorado. It is proposed to invest $50,000 in enlarging the capacity of the plant and constructing the high-tension lines, to supply pow CT for drilling wells and illumination of the new oil field.
 Lines to be constructed, it was stat ed, will be similar to the 475 miles of high-tension and distributing lines already operated by the company Some of these have been projected into Grand Prairie rice fields where thousands of acres are irrigated by electrical driven pumps. The Fl De- rado plant of the company is now using gas from the Constantine well and with this fuel to manufacture power for driving other wells, the Fl Dorado field will be the only one where electricity is used for drilling

KNAPP TO ADDRESS
 MEETING TONIGHT CUT IN COTTON ACREAGE Farmers Called Friday to Hear South's Agricultural Plan-Others
 to Make Addresses.

A general rally tonight in the rooms of the Conway Commercial Club at 7:30 o'clock, at which addresses will be made by Dean Bradford Knapp of the state college of agriculture, and others, will open the state campaign in behalf of the movement for reduced cotton acreage in 1921. Regardless of membership or non membership in the club, all citizens of Conway and those of the county who are in Conway to- night, are urged to attend the rally. Farmers are especially urged to at tend.
 The mass meeting of citizens, which will also discuss cotton acreage and the methods by which it can be re- duced, will be held at the courthouse on Friday afternoon at 1:3O o'clock. Dean Knapp and others will also ad- dress this meeting. r. F. Cleaver, president of the Commercial Club, said that the appeal for general attendance, especially by farmers. could not be made too strong, Iii view of the ser iousness of the crisis in the county's agricultural affairs.
 Dean Knapp $ probably the best known farm leader in the United States, having served as head of the government farm extension service before accepting his present position in Arkansas. He is a son of the late Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, the father of farm demonstration and it's first chief. E. J. Bodman, another speak CT for both meetings, is widely known in this county for previous addresses here. As chairman of the Arkansas profitable farming bureau, he has been instrumental in the progress al- ready made. He is vice president of the Union & Mercantile Trust Con- pany of Little Rock. Alfred G. Kahn, prominent capitalist of Little Rock, will also address the meetings here. The ability and standing of Judge George w. Clark and Presi- dent B. w. Torrayson, local men who will address the meeting, are too well known to require comment.
 Tonight's program will be brief and Io IiC poiiit' DS6tll hlldpp Will make the principal address and will occupy about 30 minutes. Mr. Bodmah and MT. Kahn will speak more briefly, and the program held down as brief as consistent with the importance of the subjects presented. MT. Cleaver said that routine matters and consideration of the Commercal Clubs budget would open the meeting.
 The farm extension forces conduct ing the drive will arrive from Lit tie Rock this afternoon and will re- main here until tomorrow at 5:30, when they will leave for Morrilton. A meeting of business men will be held at Morrilton on Friday night and a rally for farmers on Saturday af- ternoon. From Morrilton, the party will go to Russellville and thence to other parts of the state to present the movement for reduced cotton acre. age

MAY PROCEED WITH
 WATERWORKS SYSTEM
Reduced Prices for Iron Pipe and Better Market for Bonds En-
 courage Construction.

Reconstruction and extension of the works Improvement District No. 2, activities in which have been defer- red to await better conditions will probably now be begun as early as possible, owing to considerably lower prices for iron pipe and better mar ket for municipal bonds than pre- vailed few weeks ago. According to quotations received by Supt. E. V. Leverett iron water mains can now be purchased at about $55 per ton, as compared with a price two months ago of S85 per ton. The pre-war price was about $45 per ton. The bonds of the district could be sold at better figures than would have been possible a few week since, and the commissioners have received several inquiries from bond dealers who de- sire to make offers for the issue.
 MT. Leverett carried tentative plans of the extensions and replace ments in the distribution system to Little Rock this week and laid them before the engineers of the actuarial bureau. He was informed that the construction of the system as. plan ned would lift Conway from the fourth to the third class as an insur- ance risk and reduce premiums on fire policies about 13 per cent. The next smallest city in the state in this class. MT. Leverett was told, is Hot Springs, which only recently emerged from the fourth to the third class.

EXPECTS BIG INCREASE
 IN NORMAL ATTENDANCE
Biennial Report by President Points Need of Equipment and Larger
 Maintenance.

That attendance at the State Nor nal School will be doubled during the spring and summer terms is indicat- ed by reports given the school by county superintendents of education, and the general assembly is asked in the biennial report of President B. w. Torreyson to have due regard to this when funds for the ensuing bien- nial period are set aside. MT. Torrey sons report covers the work of the school for the years 1919 and 1920, with some comparisons with other years to indicate growth.
 With proper boarding facilities, the attendance is certain to average be- tween 800 and 1000 in 1921, the re- port declares. As result, the school places the emphasis upon two dormi- tories as the most needed additions to tthe equipment, asking for appro- priations of $200,000. Other build ings needed are new practice school structure to cost S75,000, and an audi torium and gymnasium, which would occupy the proposed west wing of the new administration building, to cost $100,000.
 On the score of enrolment, in 1909- 10, the NormaPs first year, the at tendance was 160. The 1919-20 ses- sion had 446 enrolled at the regular session, 360 at the summer session, 250 enrolled in correspondence cours- es, 52 enrolled in teachers study clubs and about 60 county uperintendents who attended the institute conducted here the past summer by State Supt. tendents, the school instructed 1,108 educators or future educators during the year.
 A decrease in attendance has been shown only one year since the Nor nal was founded. At the 1916-17 ses- sion, the enrolment reached 600 for the combined regular and summer ses- sions, but dropped the following 12 months to SIT. The following year, however, the figures climbed to 598. For the past year, the school had 30 officers of administration and in- struction, and this is proposed for in- crease in the event the millage tax for maintainence is increased from one-ninth to two-ninths of one mill, as proposed in a bill now pending before the legislature.
 Of the schools problem of build ings, the report suggests the two dormitories as the additions most ur- gently needed. A larger structure is also needed for the model practice school, which now occupies a small frame building and part of the science building. With the erection of larger model practice school build ing and the completion of the admin istration building to comprise an audi torium and gymnasium, the science building auditorium could be convert ed into library, the space now used by the library returned to other de- partments now crowded for room.
