LEGION DECORATES
COMRADES GRAVES

Memorial services for the war vet
Grams buried in Oak Grove cemetery
were held by the Theodore Campbell
post of the American Legion Sunday
afternoon at the cemetery, with the
address by Frank L. Whitman of Mis-
sissippi, field representative of ma
tional legion headquarters. Mr.. Whit
mans address was a plea for thor
ough Americanization and an eloquent
eulogy for American dead. His ad-
dress was accorded great praise by
his auditors.
The legion program was opened
with the invocation by Rev. c. M.
Reeves, and was followed by selection
by the band of the State Normal
School. An anthem by the choir of
the First Methodist church and read
ing, "Son,' by Miss Vida Adams, were
the numbers which preceded Mr.. Whit
mans address. Decoration of graves
and the sounding of "taps" were the
final numbers before the service ended
n. l.. McAlister, commander of the
post, presided at the service.

MEMORIAL TO HONOR
ILLINI WAR MARTYRS

Urbana. H.. May 2S-As MEM
orial to the 173 men from the Univer-
sity of Illinois who lost their lives in
the world war, court of honor will be
built in the new athletic stadium to he
built with a 81 500 900 fund now be-
ing raised. There will be 173 columns
in the court-one for each of the uni
versity's heroes.
Already various campus organiza-
tions have sponsored more than half
of the columns, pledging $1,000 each
as their contribution to the memorial
Those organizations which lost men
during the war will dedicate their
columns to the memory of their own
soldier dead.
One of the unique sponsors of a
column is the field artillery regiment,
r. o. T. c., composed of men from
many organizations and some from
none at all. The regiment plans to
dedicate it's column to some former
university artilleryman who was not

men were seen applying the chemical
crystals (rara dischlorobenzine) at
the base of the trees for the peach
borer; still in another section young
orchard of two years growth was a
small army of men with teams Guilt
waiting and pruning.
Bert johnson is believer in scien-
tific principles applied to orcharding
having in his employ several men
whose business it is to see that the
proper sprays are used and to watch
for new insects or diseases. That the
principle of orchard management as
practiced by Mr.. Johnson is also good
for the small grower of fruits is evil
denced by the great number of smaller
orchards nearby that duplicate his
methods.
1t is being planned by County Judge
E. l.. Smith to axe tour of this big
orchard while the harvest is on in
full swing. Communities in the high
lands of the county, especially those
on the improved highways, are asked
to make up one or more carloads to
make the trip. This excursion is not
being planned altogether for the pur-
pose of learning something about the
care of orchards. 1t is or the en-
enlargement Of fruit crops in this sec
ton, and to act as an incentive to
farmers to take up fruit culture on
whatever scale is possible.
Think it over. Make your plans
now to go along and decide to put out
some fruit trees on that farm.

SEES BIG ORCHARD
WILLIAMS PLANS TRIP
With Judge Smith Hopes to Organize
Faulkner Tour to Stimulate
Fruit Growers.

County Agent T. M. Williams re
turned Saturday night from triE
over the famous Highland orchard II
Pike county, the greatest and mos'
productive fruit ranch in the world
The trip was made by numerous bust
ness men, farmers and county agents
who were the guests of the company
owning it. When the fruit season is
at it's height, Mr.. Williams hopes to
organize touring party from this
county and take in" the great or
chard. The route of the proposed
tour would be via Little Rock and
Hot Springs, the worst stretch of road
encountered being between Conway
and Little Rock. The following
article was written by Mr.. Williams
at the request of the Log Cabin Demo
crat:
Few people realize that the greatest
single industry under one anagement
in Arkansas is peach orchard. To
exclude the oil development it is the
greatest industry of the state. Dur
ing 1919 the orchard paved to the
stock holders a divided of 100000.
To state that the orchard is seven
miles across and nine miles long does
not convey to your mind the mental
picture necessary to comprehend its
Sixty-three square miles
of peaches sounds convincing but a
trip over the orchard will leave in
your memory picture long to be re-
Friday of last week over 300 farm
ers and business men of Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas made a tour
through the orchard in automobiles
seeing some 40 or so tractors pulling
orchard scratchers, in addition some
20 outfits were spraying, both with
liquid and dust to control the bacteria
and fungus diseases as we'll as the in
sects.
After riding through miles of peach
trees we emerged into an opening of
some few hundred acres in which were
plantd cantaloupes. In this field there
were other tractors with their spray
machines and crews fighting the
beetle army which attacks the canta-
loupes near the base.

MISS AUBREY FRAMES
NEW Y. w. G. A. FEATURE

Miss Enid Aubrey. former Conway
young woman and graduate of Cen.
trail College, has sprung brand new
innovation at the West Side Y. w.
c. A. at Chicago, according to Chi
cago Tribune dispatch appearing in
today's Gazette. Miss Aubrey's new
addition to education is the charm
school, which is described III the fol-
lowing dispatch:
Chicago, May 29.-Do you want a
bride who can cook and manage your
house without running you financial
ly? Do you want bride who dresses
charmingly and converses intelligent
ly in dulcet tones that fall pleasantly
on the ears?
The June crop of this kind is now
ready and although there were so,
some of them have already been
grabbed and the others won't last
long. If you are interested see Miss
Enid Aubrey at the West Side Y. w.
c. A, whose "charm school" has just
closed.
For four months so young women
have been attending the school, whose
curriculum states that it is a course
in 'trousseau suggestions and home
management" but which really has
been a course of getting and holding
husband.
Il guess the school might have been
a success said Miss Aubrey at the
graduating exercises last night. Four
new engagements rings have appeared
in the last few days and many rumors
are afloat."
Miss Aubrey started the school be-
cause every girl really expects to
be married some time" Early in
October another charm school, class
will be opened.

NEED HOMES FOR
normal STUDENTS

An appeal to citizens of Conway
who do not ordinarily receive board
ers, to open their homes to summer
students of the State Normal was
made today by Miss Ida M. Waldran,
dean Of women.
sion, which will open on Monday,
June IS, and continue for seven weeks,
will be very much larger than ever
before, Miss Waldran said Over a
month ago very room in Doyne hall
and Caddo club was reserved and ac-
commodations in several of the larger
boarding houses have already been
taken.
I'VE have no fear that accommoda-
tions will not be found for all who
wish to attend the Normal" Miss
Waldran said, "but we are especially
anxious that the better homes of the
city, having modern conveniences,
shall be opened to students. We have
numerous applications for rooms for
light housekeeping by young married
couples or groups of girls desiring to
attend the Normal. Single rooms con-
venient to places where meals may be
secured and rooms and board in the
same house are also desired"
Any citizen who can accommodate
one or more Normal students during
the summer session is requested to
telephone Miss Wadran at No. 159.

GOEB HITS THREE
SAFELY WITH ND
Local Player Has Fine Day in Bristol
But New Departure Club Is Beaten
by Colorcd Giants.

Although holding the sluggers of
tho Brooklyn Royal Giants to six hits.
Tony welch's wiIdness on two occa-
| sions spelled his downfall and New
Departure dropped its game at Bris-
tol Saturday. to 0.
There was plenty of smuggling by
| both sides but many OF the clouts
went straight at felders or were cut
down by the brilliant fielding of the
Giants.
The fans were disappointed in not
seeing Cyclone Williams on the mound
but n split hand KEEP him out of the
tilt. and Carr took his place.
Never has Bristol seen a team that
syung as hard after the old apple but
welch's fast delivery served to spoil
most of the potential bingles and
snappy fielding did the rest: SO that
the Giants did not make exactly the
showing which was expected.
Both outfits moved along without
score for three innings in which the
Giants only garnered one bingle to
New Departures three. The third
chapter started bad and finished worse
for the home team. WEIGH walked
Miller. bu. SCOTS bunt to WEIGH
forced him ut second. Brooks sacri-
feed Scott to second and Douglas
single scored him. only to have the
return throw catch him at second and
end the inning.
New Departure was I'm position to
score after Goeb singled and took
second. but Halbach famed.
The Giants were handed three runs
In the seventh on a single safety.
Tony WEIGH walked Cason and Sper-
mon but Tony was entirely to blame
for tho
runner up n pes by a pretty sacrifice
hunt. zielke fielded carr's bunt and
held the runners on.
With two down the Giants catcher
singled scoring two and n moment
later Halbach booted Miller's ground
er and heaved the ball over first
letting In jefferson for the third run.
Scott flied out to Scott.
With one down Goodridge smashed
out his second bingle of the day only
To have WEIGH hit into n double play.
In the eighth New Departure made
another brave attempt to rally, but
IN vain. Scott who had already been
robbed of two long hits by wonderful
fielding finally crashed one where they
weren't and Eddie Goeb followed with
his third hit OF the day, only to have
Halbach force him at second. but put
ting Scotty on third. But Greene or
Zielke could not come through and
the chance was gone.
Both teams went out fast I'm the
ninth inning giving the game to the
Giants.
Scott. Goeb. Goodridge and Wa
ters combined to make New Depar-
lures eight hits OF the day while
Scotty made brilliant catch in the
field. For the Giants, Brooks and
Douglas furnished thrills with their
marvellous catches.

GIANTS HOP into
LEAD in NATIONAL
Yankees Still Maintain First Place
in National Circuit

New York, Sept. 12.-The Giants
this morning are in undisputed posses
sion of first place in the National
league pennant chase. By virtue of
their defeat of the Robins at Ebbets
field yesterday afternoon by a score
Of IL to 3 while the Pirates were be-
ing taken over the jumps by the Reds,
the Clan McGraw vaulted into the
lead. Possibly the Giants may attribute
their timely victory not only to the
vigor with which they welded their
bats against the pitching of Clarence
Mitchell, John Miljus, Sherrod Smith
and Ferdinand Schupp and the fact
that Fred Toney was able to hold the
Dodgers in check after Phil Douglas
was batted off the mound in the third
inning, but also to the presence of
Mayor Hylan. Maybe they will regard
the mayor as their latest mascot, for
his Honor was present at the start II
the game.
