LOCAL CONCERN BUYS
 CARLOAD SYRUP CANS

Cans for the storing of sorghum mo- lasses for the first time in the his tory of Conway have been bought in carload lots. Mode X Clayton, whole sale grocers, this week unloaded a carload of syrup cans and are dispos- ing of them at a rapid rate to local merchants. According to W. B. Clay ton, the county has had a scarcity of cans for this purpose and the big quantity was bought to meet the de mand.
 Sorghum molasses was formerly stored in barrels and cans were not used except where small quantities were stored. However, Col. J. E. Lit tie secured quotation for barrels tc care for his crop on the river, ane found them priced at $5 each. Tht syrup cans will be much cheaper anC equally as satisfactory.
 The coacload brought in by the loca concern will be sufficient for the can ming of 435 cases of syrup, six one gallon cans to the case.

M. & N. A. TERRITORY
 CONDITIONS DfPLORABLE
Many Families Emigrating Overland From Leslie and Other Ad-
 jacent Points.
(Clinton Democrat.)

During the past 10 days no les: than dozen families, with stock and household goods, from Leslie anc other points along the M X N. A. have passed through Clinton enroute to other fields where it was hoped
 the opportunity of making a living
 would be found. Practically all of
 these people have been engaged ir
 public works and with the suspen. sion of the railroad and subsequent shutting down of the various mills and timber plants they were left without employment.
 To these people the shutting down of the railroad came as a real trag- edy. Under former conditions the wages received in comparison with the cost of living afforded little or no opportunity to save. Without employment they had no alternative but to emigrate. How long this ex- odus is to continue, depends, of course, upon the length of suspen- sion of railroad service.
 There are many, doubtless, who through sheer luck or rather frugal ity, are in position to weather few weeks or even months of idle ness. but there will come time should the railroad lie dormant for months, when they, too, must ac- cert the inevitable and look else where for the opportunity of earn, ing the necessities of life. Deplor- able as is the condition of these it is no worse than the thousands of citizens along that road who have their all invested in property at valu- ations on which they cannot begin to realize and without which they can hardly hope to get a footing else. where
 It has been truly said that the suspension of service on this road was a calamity to North Arkansas. far greater, we suspect, than many even yet realize May we not hope that some turn in the tide will soon be effected, whereby restoration of service on the M. & N. A. will be- come an actuality and the impend- ing ruin to so many good citizens be averted

METHOD TO PRESERVE
 FILES OF NEWSPAPERS
tBy the Associated Press)

New York, Aug. 12.-The problem of preserving for posterity important newspaper files which, since wood pulp superseded rags in the manufac- ture of newsprint, has baffled lbrar- ians all over the world, at last ap- parently has been solved by officials of the New York Public Library.
 After seven years of experimental tion, backed by the cooperation of three New York daily papers each of which has spent $5,000 a year to find the best preservative method, the of ficials believe they have discovered the correct solution, that of mounting each newspaper sheet between two sheets of thin Japanese tissue.
 This shuts the original sheet from the air, reduces it's legibility but slightly, strengthens the page and per- mits it's free handling without danger of disintegration.

8O- -YEAR-OLD FARMER
 HAS PLANTED Fl CROPS
(Clinton Democrat. ]

"Uncle Baz' Thomas, for 28 years an active justice of the peace and postmaster at Oak Flat since when the memory of man runneth not, was circulating among friends here Wed, nesday. But to give a better idea of the active life he has lived-and he has been living for four score years-we might mention that fo1 37 years past he has served as min. ister of the Methodist church and still found time to plant and cultivate a crop. In fact his record as a farm CT is still more unique, he having planted and personally cultivated T crops.
 Referring to the suspension of the railroad, Uncle Bag" says the people of his community are the "worst torn up" of any he ever saw anC what the outcome is to be is more than he knows. Denied of marke 1 for either products or labor and tC make matters worse, says he, certain interests are now striving to burdel us with highway tax for a road o. benefit to but very few and which il reality means confscation of ou homes.
 One object of "Uncle Baz's" visi here was to get on foot move look ing to the establishment of direc mail route between Clinton and Den nard.

TODAY IS SATURDAY,
 PROVIDE FOR SUNDAY

In anticipation of Conway's second closed Sunday citizens in general are reminded to make purchases today and tonight sufficient to last over the interim during which the stores will be closed. Some motor car owners last Saturday forgot to fill gas tanks and as'a result their Sunday motoring was shortened. As stated by Mayor W. D. Cole, the closing of the stores will work little hardship upon the pubhc If purchases are made Saturday in preparation for the day.
