ACREAGE REDUCTION
 BIG IN FAULKNER

The cold, unfavorable weather which has prevailed since the high waters of last month will have the effect of reducing cotton acreage in Benedict township, which includes a large area of river bottom land, as much as 50 per cent from last year, in the opinion of Charley Patrick, who was here yes terday afternoon. MT. Patrick says practically none of the cotton replant- ed in black lands following the recent overflow has come up and he does not believe it will ever germinate. Acre age in the river district planted to cot tor had already been reduced by about one-third, he stated and if no stands can be obtained from the replanted areas, the reduction will amount to one-half.
 Cotton acreage throughout the county will be reduced this year fully
 as much as, if not more than, the 33 1-3 per cent which was pledged
 early in the year, in the opinion of local cotton men and suply merchants. One of them stated today that in many communities the reduction aver aged over 40 per cent.
 The almost entire absence of warm weather during the present spring is having an unfavorable effect on cot ton in this county. Poor stands is a general complaint, and cotton which has come up is looking very sickly, according to nearly all reports. Unusually early maturity of cookie burs is an evidence of the cold weather which has prevailed. Specimens of fully grown burs were brought in Sat urday from one of D. o. Harton's riv- CT farms, MT. Harton says it was three or four weeks earlier than he had ever before known cockle-burs to ma ture.

Day of Force Is Gone.

The real dictator has small right for existence these days This strong-arm stuff is associated with the assasSin's method and doesn't reach into mans reason. Anything that is put through by brute force is doomed to failure To be sure it may live a temporary ex. istence, but sooner or later it is go- ing to run the gamut of reason and public opinion. In some sections this is at low ebb But taken the nation over, you will find that there is more thinking on things that affect the fam fly larder and the after-supper com fort than most folks realize. It's a mistake to apply methods that suit Russians in land of freedom like America, where liberty is part of the national inheritance.-Grit

SAYS RUSSFLLY|LLE
 HASF|NE PROSPECT

That there is splendid prospect of bringing in a good producing oil well aj the Gravel Hill test, 12 miles north east of Russellville. is the opinion of F. H. Ward of Conway, who holds a considerable amount of lease acreage in the vicinity of the test and who spent Monday at the well. Mir. Ward brought back bottle full of the oil which he states was drawn from the we'll during the bailing yesterday, and says the oil is of good quality.
 Caving below the casing of the well, which is 2,800 feet deep, has occurred, however, and Mir. Ward says it is his opinion that new casing will be plac- ed inside the old casing before drill ing can be resumed The drilling com pany, he stated, will have to make fin anclal arrangements to secure the cas- ilg and there will probably be a delay of several days before the actual test will be made.
 Excitement in Russellville and vici- nlty has been great since. the show ing of oil was made when bailing was started Sunday, Mr. Ward said, and the people of that section are con- fident that Pope will be the second Arkansas county to develop a real oil field.
 Several other Conway people besides MT. Ward are interested in oil leases m Pope county and the development IS being watched with great interest here.

HENDRIX LIBERAL
 IN HELPING DRIVE
ONE-FOURTH CITY QUOTA
Pledged by Hendrix Faculty and Stu dents-Propose City Auditori-
 um be Built.

Hendrix College faculty and stu dent body have responded with pro verbal iiberality to the call of the Christian education movement and already $14,000 has been pledged. College officials in charge of the cam paign are confident that the Hendrix contribution will reach S15,000. which would be one-fourth of the quota as signed to the First Methodist church.
 Contributions from the Hendrix faculty total $8,000, it was said to- day Members of the junior and se- nior classes have contributed S3,SOG and other college and academy classes ahve given $2,200, making a total of S14,000 and the campaign is not yet completed.
 From the standpoint of the city of Conway, the campaign promises to place here an addition which has been long needed. All told, Hendrix will receive S700,00O from the movement and the college has agreed to spend s1 for every dollar contributed by Conway for the erection of a gym nasium which will be available to Conway with an auditorium and swimming pool. Contributors in the campaign may specify that their gifts be used for this purpose, which will mean that every dollar given To- cally will be expended locally. AS now proposed, the gymnasium build- ing would contain an auditorium with seating capacity of 1900, available for public use at all times. The swimming pool would be available to Boy Scouts and similar organizations.
 In view of this view, leaders of the movement will appeal for contribu- tions as means of supplying much needed addition to Conway. Public organizations, it isawell known, have been handicapped in the past from lack of a municipal auditorium, and the campaign offers a double oppor- tunity to benefit the city and college as well. As the quota of the First Methodist church is $60,000 and Hen- drix will contribute from it's appor- tionment S1 for every dollar given here, success in the campaign would mean that $120000 would be imme- diately available for erection of the combined auditorium and gymnasium
 Optimism permeates the ranks ot those in charge of the movement The organization which will take the field May 29 is fully perfected and has every prospect of success. Dr. Stonewall Anderson, general educa- ton secretary for the church, will speak at the Commercial Club tomor- row night at o'clock in behalf of the movement. Dr. Anderson is ac- lively associated with Dr. Reynolds in directing the immense campaign and his travels have carried him into all parts of the south.

and, in a way, I was glad of it, for
1T gave me an excuse for not speak
ing again until we reached the hospital.
Outside Marion's door we came
upon Robert Savarin pacing up and
down, his hands grfpped tightly to-
gether behind him. But as soon as he
saw Dicky's face he came forward
and put his hand on the younger
mans shoulder.
Don't distress yourself so, old
chap" he said kindly. Il do not
think your action made the slightest
difference with Marions' injuries. She
was quite herself again after you left.

piratien upon her forehead, and her
face was pallid, proofs of the pain
she had suffered. My eyes went
swiftly to Lillian's face, for I knew I
should find the truth there. She was
again kneeling by Marion's side. with
the childs hands in hers. but her
eyes. while full of sympathy for her
child's pain. had lost their look of
terror.
Its all right" she said, quickly,
quietly, and I knew that she could
not bear to let us wait DR.. Pettit's
slower assurance. "Please tell them,
doctor, what you have told me-"
There is no permanent injury, I
am sure" DR.. Petit said. There
are several bad bruises upon the
muscles of her back, one especially
painful, which will keep her quiet for
a few days, possibly longer. She
Icould be moved to the place where
you are boarding, if her mother in
sists upon it, but I think it better
for her to stay here for a week.
This was evidently news to Lillian,
for she lifted her head quickly and
Hooked at the physician fxedly.
May I stay with her?'' she asked
Il expect you to- he answered
"She needs no professional care, ex-
cept when she has to be moved, and
then a nurse will be. always within
CALL But you will not need spe-
J cial nurse, and I am sure you will be

you know? Isn't it true that in or

progress the endurance Of woman is
often strained to it's utmost, and the
tax upon her physical system is in
many cases greater than she can
stand. Backa ches develop, and ner-
vous irritability, backache, dragging
down sensations, and other painful
ailments peculiar to women. The re-
liable remedy when a woman gets
into such condition is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as
for nearly half century it has
proved the natural restorative for

Don't feel unhappy" she said to
him one day as he picked himself up,
whimpering, after a hard knock.
Don't feel unhappy because you are
the littlest of the family. In one way
you are the luckiest of all my chill
dren."
Grunty Pig didn't stop weeping. He
saw no reason-yet-to feel more
cheerful.
Did you know" his mother
asked him-'fdid you know that in
one respect you are the handsomest
one of the whole litter? You have
the curliest tail of them all!''
Grunty Pig gazed, open-mouthed,
at his mother. He stopped snivelling.
Up to that time he had scarcely given
his tail a thought So long as it fol-
lowed him wherever he went he had
been satisfied with it.
From that moment Grunty began
to think great deal about his tail
He was always turning his head to
look at it, to make sure it hadn't lost
any of its kink. Now and then he was
even late for a meal, because he was
feasting his eyer on his tail when
| Farmer Green came to the pen with
| food for Mrs. Pigs family.
|
sometimes boasted before his broth
ers and sisters about his beautiful
| curly tail. And just before meal time
| his brother Blackie was known, upon
occasion, to mention the subject of
tails. He did that in the hope that
| Grunty would be late at the feeding
| trough.
Sad to say, Grunty Pig was fast
becoming vain. He even talked
about tails with the neighbors, taking
pains to explain that his own was the
ihandsomest one of the farm.
Old Dog Spot shifted when Grunty
boosted about his tail one day. "Why
your tail is of no use whatsoever -
Spot told him. You can't use it to
switch a fly off your back. The
Mu1ey Cow can do that. And SO can
the old horse, Ebenezer."
"Ah! But my tail Is so pretty tc
look att" Grunty exclaimed.
you can't puff it up to show you're
angry, as Miss Kitty Cat does" sale
Spot.
"Ah! but my tail has beautiful
curl!' said Grunty Pig.
you can't wag it, to let folks know
you're friendly, as can" said Spot.
"Ah! But my tail is so handsome!'
Grunty Pig exclaimed.
