S50,000 FOR FARM
 EXPERIMENT WORK

What was said to be the first major step toward the big agri- cultural educational program for Arkansas was taken in the Sen ate Tuesday in the passage of the House Budget Comaittee bill appropriating $5O,0c) for the proposed cotton expo iment station to be located at 5.otts. The measure Te-en3ctS a bill passed last year when the ap- propfiation was made, but with held by lack of funds. The land, 555 acres of rich cotton land, has been contracted for, and Senator Walls, who called up the measure, said that there is noth- ing now to prevent going ahead with the work.
 In debate on the mea asure, President Cazort brought up for the first time on the floor of the Senate the proposed agricul- tural college, for which, it was said earlier in the session, legis- ] lation was to have been enacted. It is now too late to get such a measure through, Senator Ca- zort said, but he pleaded with the hoIdoVer senators, who will be back next session, to author ize the construction of the col lege. Senator Cazort said that the sole purpose of the legisIa- tive trip through the Middle West last fall was to acquire in. formation and ideas looking tow ard the establishment of such a school for Arkansas, and he eX- pressed hope that these ideas :, would be embodied in a bill next : session.

NORMALCY

The war has brought out lot of WOES that have been popular for a few weeks. "Normalcy" has been coined by the Presi- denteleet and it is the latest" " Since it is in only a few of the dictionaries, it is late enough in more uays than one. A Math. ematlcal dictionary says normal cv relate to the "co-ordinates of the pointsof the contact" POssi- bly it is a non resembling kin 10 9camouIlage."
 The investigations of the wa have demonstrated the former ascendancy of "camoufj; ge, and now that "normalcy" i5 in high favor in official circles at Washington, all will Wishfor it a success at least equal to tn | of it's less deserving kinsmen in the family of forceful words.
 "Nolmalcy' according to cD ployefs, seems to mean loWeT wages. Manufacturers figure it means continued high prices, r0- tailers interpret 1t to simply i'm ply big profits and the con2um- CT thinks it means that things will be cheaper.
 In the language of brass Jacks "normalcy" means the return tf confidence based on courage. It has something to do with meet ing the demand for a billion dO'- lars worth of home5A and houses by building them; and to put an other billion dollars worth of electric railways, gas pipes, te,- ephone5 and light wires, sewers and other public Improvement in operation to make possible de- cent living in decent establish ments, far from the maddenin crowd" since living, accorling 70 conditions of "normalcy' IS among civilization's most urgent demands.
 In the soft speech of politics in Washington, where this artl- cle is written, it means intell' gent use of the checscknlfe la slashing appropriations as they have never been slashed before because normalcy must do a lot of subtracting on the tax bill to prove itself in successful opera ton in federal and state admin istrat1on of public affairs.
 Henry Ford says that "me2 who were laid off during the shutting down of industries are taking off their silk shirts and are now drifting back to the farms Henry occasionally puI a good one and if he is right in this instance, 1t is another vic tory for "normalcy."

HYDRO-ELECTRIC co.
 AUTHORIZE CONTRACT

A meeting of the directors of the dro-Electric Co.,, was held in Little Rock Friday and among other things done a vote result ed favorably to going ahead with the work of construction of the first dam at the earliest pos siblc moment. The question of . a bond issue was discussed and 1t was decided not to sell any bonds as the company had en- ough money to build the dam 10 feet high, but the company deems it advisable to build it 80 feet high, because of the advice
 of the engineers. In order to build it 80 feet twas deemed advisable to continue the sale of stock in order to get the necess- ary money for the latter half. A representative of Livingston and Co.,, of New York, and Penn. was present and offered to con-
 tract fO lthe construction work and it was determined to make a contract with this firm to build the foundation and the first 40 feet, with ample foun- dation base to take care of the 80 foot dam should the extra 10 feet be added. The proposed con tractor stated that they would begin just as soon as r was pos sible to do so and that the work would be pushed to completion that labor and material had been reduced to a point where that would not be a barrier. That ce- mcnt that cost $4 a barrel can now be had for S1.6S and oth2 material was similarly reduced, They say that the coffer dams will be in by June and that the preliminary work thus. disposed of the matter of building would goon without interruption.
 It is given out as authentic that $50O,000 of the stock has been sold, and that work of sell ing another $500,0O0 would go forward at once. That the other two dams will be built as soon as the first one is completed.
 It was developed at this meet ing that at least 100 concerns are now begging for water pow CT service, to say nothing of the local and capitol city patrons that are ready to sign up fof all t the current that can be made with complete mammoth plant such as this promises to be.
