WAR ON OLD-TIME MATCH
OPENED BY CITIZENS
Will Ask Commission
ers to Prohibit All But
Safety Kind.


The old-time match that will strike
on any object will pass out of use in
the District IL the Commissioners
carry out a recommendation of the
citizens committee appointed to ar
range for fire prevention week.
Charles w. Darr, chairman of the
committee, stated today that the COM
mittee has decided to ask the city
heads to enact a regulation prohibit
ing the use of all matches except
safety matches. which strike on their
own boxes.
The committee also will recommend
that the Commissioners ASK Congress
for an appropriation Of $2,500 to per-
nit the fre department to stage
vigorous fire prevention campaign
next year.
The records of the fire department
show that many blazes are caused by
children playing with matches, and
some fires are caused by rats gnaw-
ing on matches. The committee feels
that with none but safety matches in
use the number Of fres from these
two causes would be reduced.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
 TO ORGANIZE HERE

A commandery of Knights Templar, the highest rank in the York rite ot Freemasonry, is expected to be or ganized at Conway following an of- ficial visit here next Saturday by F.. L. Pierce of Marked Tree, grand com mander of Knights Templar of Ar kansas, in whose hands a petition for the organization of local com mandery has been placed, it was stat ed by a prominent Conway Mason to- day.
 The new commandery is expected to have a membership of about 100, and it's organization will doubtless mean a cooperation by all Masonic fraternities of this city in the erection of splen- did Masonic temple, it was said. The necessary consent of the Hugh de Payn commandery of Little Rock, the nearest organization to Conway, has been secured, and Grand Commander Pierce, it is believed, will authorize the organization following his visit here.
 McHlbSI oIiip III lHC Isoydl HiSh chapter of Masons is prerequisite to utilization with the commandery. The local chapter, it was stated. has 56 members who desire to take the higher degrees. In addition to these there will be 15 or 20 applications for mem- bership from Morrilton and about the same number from other nearby towns within the jurisdiction of the Con- way commandery.
 The local Royal Arch chapter will meet at the Masonic hall Thursday night and Master Masons who desire to join the chapter in order to qualify for membership in the commandery may file their petitions before this meeting, it was announced.

The resolution regarding the re- moval of the freight switching yards of the Missouri Pacific from their present location in the center of the business district was introduced by Alderman c. w. Jones and was un- animously adopted. It is as follows:
 "Whereas, the steady growth and development of Conway necessitate constant changes in municipal condi- tions; and
 "Whereas, the rapidly increasing population in the business sections and the additions to business enter prises have made our streets in the said business sections congested with both foot and vehicle travel, often en- dangering human life and constantly delaying commerce; therefore, be it
 Resolved, that it is the sense of the city council of the city of Conway, Ark, that the present freight-switch- ing yards should be expeditiously re- moved from the center of the business district to a point where it will cease to be a nuisance to both travel and the business interests. And we be- lieve that the Missouri Pacific Rail way Company should be required by the city of Conway to at once take action looking to the abatement of this nuisance and thereby make the street crossings safe for people afoot or when using their vehicles; and we recommend that the proper commit tee or officials take such action as will bring about the desired and nee essary change in the location of the present reight-switching yard.'
 Aldermen Jones, c. F. Douglass and w. R. James were appointed com mittee and directed to take proper steps toward securing the removal of the freight yards.
 The council allowed S328.20 for salaries and accounts and also ordered paid a claim of Joe E. Jones amounting to $500 for street work done in 1919 and 1920, which has been pending for some time, by the issuance of time warrant due May 1, 1922.

RESULTS GOOD IN
 COLLEGE CAMP PA|CN

Subscriptions to the Hendrix Col lege endowment fund are being paid to very encouraging extent, accord ing to J. I. McClurkin, treasurer of the college, who has returned after canvassing trip which has carried him into 5S counties of the state. The college is making special effort to press collections on it's subscriptions to the endowment fund in order to be able to receive an additional $100 .000 from the General Educational Board of New York under the proposal of the board to add $1 to every $3 secured from other sources. This agreement will expire January l, it is stated.
 'The support we are receiving is surprising, considering the adverse financial conditions,' said MT. Me Clurkin. ''I have found very hearty response to the appeal of the college wherever l have gone. A typical in stance was that of gentleman who had pledged $500 to the college en- dowment He is a truck grower and had had four carloads of melons to rot in the field this year on account of high freight rates making it i'm possible to market them. However, when I stated the urgency of the situation, he took up his pledge with a note bearing interest and gave as. security $3,00O in bank stock. This makes the paper acceptable to the Gen oral Education POord and anablpe TS to include it in our endwment fund"
 MT. McClurkin said that everywhere he went he found the fame of Conway's excellent municipal water and light system. paved streets and white way was known. He expects to cover the remaining 17 of the 58 counties be- tween now and the first of the year

WHITE CHALK MINES
 TO RESCUE RAILWAY
(By the Associated Preas)

Texarkana, Dec. 14.-Exploitation of vast deposits of pure white chalk at White Cliffs, Arkansas, by Gin cinnati corporations, is expectel to prove the financial salvation of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad, according to statement yesterday by Receiver Martin Walsh from his office at Nashville The road owes $4,000,- 900 and has been ordered sold, but sale has been postponed pending out come of development of the white chalk deposits. Handling big ship ments from White Cliffs would pro- vide the revenue needed by the road, Mir. Walsh thinks.

Crops in Bates County.

All reports from different parts oi
the county indicate that the condition
of the crops are far from satisfactory
Wheat harvest is over and in almost
every case the yield or the quality
of the grain was far below what had
been expected. The heads not being
we'll filled out and in many cases the
.Hessian fly had done considerable
damage. The heavy rains last week
damaged the oats considerably. Most
fields were just ready TO cut when
the rairs started and the grain was
beaten down. Those that were cut
were like the wheat, disappointing.
The corn looks fine. In most To-
calities it is clean and the ground in
good condition, but owing to the late
spring the planting was late and the
plants are not so far advanced as
they should be at this time. The hay
crop will be light and in many fields
the white top is so thick that it will
hardly pay to harvest the crop.

Who Has Lost a Ford?

Tuesday afternoon as R. A. Ian.
genbacher, Bates county farm agent
was driving to the ] Thompson
place, north of town, he came upon
two young men or boys with a Ford
car. The boys asked him how far he
was going and told him that they
were out of gasoline and out oi
money and were trying to get to Kan
sas City with their car. Mr.. Langen-
bacher told Mr.. Thompson about the
boys and he said that they had told
him the same story except that they
were trying to get to St. Louis. After
Mr.. Langenbacher left the boys were
seen to leave the Car and start across
he field. As Mr.. Langenbacher drove
back to town he noticed that the car
had been abandoned and he notified
Deputy Sheriff Bradley, who brought
the car to town and is holding it un-
til it is called for by the owners.
The car bears Kansas City license
tag. y
Wednesday morning the boys were
seen trying to board the south
bound passenger train but were put
off, and they afterwards left town
on a freight train.

as this handicap makes it difficult to
compete with business houses in
neighboring states where these spe-
cial taxes are not levied.
Be It Further Resolved: That it
be the sense of this body that this
inequitable tax has seriously inter
fered and will continue to interfere
with the bringing of new business IN
dustries into the State and for this
additional reason should be abolished.

Fay for putting East Pine street in

brought before the City Council to
protect merchants of Butler. against
transient merchants such as peddlers
and auctioneers, who as a general

struction of the new band stand.
