Older Boys Conference Will Be Held in AshdOwn Early in
 April.

The most important event in the spring work of the County Y. M. C.. A. is the Older Boys Conference. This year it will be held in Ashdown. The people of Ashdown are asked to enter tain number of boys for the week end, April 1, ? and g. Delegations from Hope, Nashville, DeQueen and Texarkana, have been asked to meet with us, as we'll as every town and community in the county.
 Sunday nights program will be open to the general public and as the closing meeting, it will be the crown ing meeting of the conference.
 We earnestly ask all the people of Ashdown to do all they possibly can to help us make this conference one of the best ever held in this part of the state
 The Hi Y Club will call on you for the listing of your home for the en- tertainment of the delegates, and we hope the first time around will find enough places to accommodate all the expected visitors.
 Car for the Work.
 During the past year the work has been greatly handicapped because of the need of car for the secretary. It is estimated that his work will be multiplied five-fold by the use of a car. There should be no other argu- ment necessary for urging that this be done. The expense of car for the entire county would not be noticed, if every one in the county who is in terested in the work for boys of Little River county, would help 6 little, and a plan is being worked out where by this may be accomplished.
 Foreman is to have their Father and Son Banquet Thursday night, several from Ashdown are going, if it is q pleasant evening. MT. R. P. Lindsay is to be toast master, and A. D. Du- Laney will talk on the subject "Who shall be the father to my boy" Tick cts are 75 cents per plate or $1.50 each for father and son. A boy to te fur nished.

 Work of capping the Caddo-Cen- tral wild we'll, which was extinguished yesterday, is proceeding satisfactor- fly, and it is probable this we'll will be silenced late tomorrow or the next day. Equipment was prepared while efforts were being made to extinguish the fire. N
