Library Notes
Of the Week

The annual report Of the State Ii
brary Commission, lately received at
the Clarke Library, gives some inter-
esting facts as to the Library condi
ton, of our state.
We have had a library commission
since 1897, but only since January
1920, has there been any money to
support it and to extend its work.
Since that time we have had a paid
Secretary and it is her report which
gives us an idea of what we have and
where we stand in the Library way.
The function of the state library
commission is to broaden and strength
en- the library development in the
state, and to give to the library in
terests the stimulation and direction
which the schools have from the state
department Of education 1t is to pro-
vide expert library knowledge for the
state at large. The secretary of the
commission reports these facts. tab
ulated after careful survey of the
state:
"There are 80 public libraries sup
ported in whole or in part from pub
lie funds OF these five, those receiving
partial support from the city, charge
fee for use Seven counties con-
tribute to the support Of public Ii
brary service
"There are thirty-six libraries main
tanned by clubs and associations. the
majority of them charging a subscrip
tion fee. By generous estimate 20
per cent of the white population of
the state has access to some general
collection of books There are 1913
counties without public library of
any sort within their borders.
"In the group of cities of over
$4,000 population, there is one which
does not appropriate money for Ii

DESERTED BABY IS
now BILLY SHAW
Little Eight Months Cid Boy,
Found near Middleton, Has
Been Regularly Adopted.
HOME FOUND THRU JOURNAL.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Shaw, Marietta,
Are Biiiy's New Parents
Conyalescing Rapidly.

Baby" the little eight months old
chap who was found near Middleton
a few days ago and who since then
has been looking very earnestly for
a permanent home, as told in last
weeks issue of the Journal, has had
his wish gratif1ed and is now smil-
ing and happy without hint of
usefulness or loneliness in his blue
eyes. The new and "ever after
home is at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Shaw, of Marietta, the
former local cotton buyer, and like
wise he is to know them in the future
as mama and papa and his name will
no longer be merely "Baby" From
now on he will be dignified with the
individual and very unusual name
of Billy Shaw.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw adopted the
little fellow as their child and in the
future he will have all the rights,
emoluments, etc, Of the average
child who has known his real father
and mother all along.
1t all came about thru the article
run on the front page of this paper
last week. The papers were placed
in the Post Office about 6 80 clock
Thursday evening, most of the Mari
eta people getting their paper that
night or Friday morning. The people
of the city reading the article were
touched by the romance and loneliness
of the little blond baby's life, and by
noon Friday, Mrs. Tom Florence,
who was taking the most interest in
"Baby's" welfare, was being beseiged
with telephone calls by interested
people asking to see the now highly
important little fellow.
A number of people made arrange
ments to get acquainted with Baby"
among them being Mr.. and Mrs. Os-
car Shaw. The latter and the young
ster upon seeing each other set up a
very fond mutual attraction. And,
as love at first sight usually turns
out, the parties to the attraction de-
cided that all must live under the
some roof, and then and there "Baby"
adopted them as his new parents.
By Saturday morning all arrange
ments for the proceedings had been
completed and "Baby was Install
ed in his individual home and given
the very individual name of Billy.
And an individual home for BABY"
now and forever hereafter Billy, it
certainly is, for tho his parents have
6aen married for several years Billy
is the only other occupant of the
home outside of Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw.
And there Billy is convalescing
rapidly from his desertion experience,

In REPUTATION of the movement
afoot in many sections of the state
for the purpose of doing away with
the Agricultural and Mechanical
schools, Mr.. H. R. Hunt, principal Of
the A. & M. Schools, at Powder
Springs points out in strongly
written article for The Journal tire
facts that an average of more than
80 boys and girls of this district re-
ceive diplomas at his institution each
year; that nearly 500 are constantly
enrolled; that the average farmers
boy or girl would probably be unable
to receive more than a grammar
school education were it not for the
almost unbelievable cheapness Of
board, etc, at these schools, which
runs only little more than $1,000
per month, making it practically as
cheap for the farmer to keep his chill
dren in school as at home; and that
an unusually we'll equipped plant and
farm have been built up with little
cost to the county and state during
the past few years.
The article Of Principal Hunt in
full is as follows:
There has recently been quite a dis
cussion coming from various quar-
tiers about selling, or junking the
A. q M. Schools. II seems from some
of the argument that the idea pre-
walls that junking would be prefer

entirely uniformed as to conditions.

the facts before making derogatory
allegations about a school. Some Of

J. r. LITTLE SIGNS
 900 BALES COTTON

J. E. Little of Conway, owner of the largest plantation in Faulkner county, yesterday afternoon signed contract to market 900 bales of his crop through the Arkansas Farm Bureau Cotton Growers Cooperative Association at Little Rock, bringing the total amount signed for this coun- ty to more than 4,200 bales. It was stated at headquarters th2t the 200, 900 bales in the state necessary to make the association effective had already been secured, but the cam paign was to be continued for a couple of days to insure against any errors in final checking of the con tracts.
 Referring to Colonel Little's sigma ture to the contract, the Arkansas Gazette this morning says:
 Another feature that caused jubi- lation at headquarters yesterday was the signing of a contract for 900 bales by J. E. Little, well known planter and stockman of Conway. MT. Little is the largest planter in Faulkner county and one of the most successful in the state. The fact that the largest and most successful farm CTS of Arkansas have joined the new association is one of it's best recom- mendations, it is declared at head quarters.
 "Mr. Little's joining the association was the result of personal efforts of Hught T. Brown, community director of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Fed eration, and of C. N. Alexander and Conway Scott of Scott.
 "It was announced that total of 1877 bales was signed up in Faulk- ner county yesterday and that the county's total is 4,272 bales, or more than half of it's quota of 7,583 bales.
 "The signing of an additional 1000 bales in Phillips county also was an nounced yesterday"

PHONOGRAPH V|ES . WITH HUMAN VOICE
 AT JOINT RECITAL.

Probably a number of people who attended the recital given last night by Helen Clark and Joseph Phillips at the high school auditorium were at first puzzled and disappointed when they discovered photograph cabinet occupying the center of the stage.
 They hardly were reassured when Thomas H. George. appeared on the stage and announced that Helen Clark had been delayed and, rather than disappoint the audience, Ire creation." he called 1t, of Helen Clark would be played on the photograph. But little did we dream what an amazing photograph 1t was. Helen Clark's golden notes, emanating from the grille of the New Edison, scared ovcr the auditorium in all their beau : ty. Suddenly we heard another voice, or rather the same voice, coming from the rear of the auditorium Helen Clark had arrived and was singing in unison with her 'r>- -creat- ed'' self. She continued singing while walking toward the New Edison. The effect of two voices of the same ex- duisite quality, coming from two diff ferent places, was indeed a new sen sation and brought all under its magic spell. Helen Clark reached thef side of the New Edison, and. dur ing the remainder of the song, paused
Arizona republican., 1921-12-06

from time to time, apparently at random, and permitted her re-created performance to be heard alone. This gave an opportunity to compare one with the other, and it is no more than just to state that there was not the slightest shade of difference be- tween recreated voice and original voice.
 In the course of the evening similar tests were made by Joseph Phillips with the same miraculous results. There must have been a slight diff ference in volume when the artists stopped singing or playing, but it was not noticeable for the tone which came from the cabinet was round and luscious with all of the vibrant, pull sating quality of that which came directly from Joseph Phillips throat and the instrument of Thomas George. It was only by watching the singers lips or plano keys that one could be sure when they sang or played and when they did not
 This proof was convincing. If it were not, another proof was offered. After Helen Clark had commenced to sing one number, the lights were turned out-ostensibly so that the audience could not watch the singer $ lips.
 It did not seem difficult to deer mine in the dark when the singer sang and when sha did not. The writer was pretty sure about it him self until the lights were turned on again and 1t was discovered that Helen Clark was not on the stage at all and that the New Edison alone had been heard.
