MO. PAC. SCHEDULE
 IN EFFECT JULY Y
PROVIDE FASTER TRAINS
Shortens Running Time to Fort Smith, Denver-Printers Strike Delays
 Time Tables.

Finding that a strike of printers at St. Louis will delay publication and distribution of new schedules, the Missouri Pacific has postponed inau- guration of its new service on this di- vision from July 10 to July r, it was stated today by H. F. Fountain of St. Louis, travelling passenger agent, who is in Conway Mr. Fountain also cleared up some ppoints in regard to the new service. which he says prom ises to be very popular in the entire territory.
 The Rainbow Special from Little Rock to Kansas City will leave Little Rock at p. m., and will reach Con- way at about 10 o'clock. Between Little Rock and Fort Smith. stops will be made at Conway, Morrilton, Rus sellville. Ozark and Van Buren. All told it will cut down the time between Little Rock and Fort Smith by two hours and between Little Rock and Kansas City by hours, 50 minutes.
 All steel equipment will be carried by the specials, including through sleepers, Little Rock to Denver, Hot Springs and Little Rock to Omaha, Little Rock to Monette, Mo-, which includes the present sleeper service to Fayetteville, and the present Fort Smith sleeper. Dining car service will be from Coffeyville to Kansas City. As stated by Mir. Fountain, passengers from Conway can 70 straight through to Denver or Omaha and intervening points without change of cars.
 As to the accommodation trains, which will be extended from Spadra to Fort Smith, the Little Rock bound train will reach Conway about 10:3O a. m.. and will reach Little Rock at 11:45. On the return trip it will leave Little Rock at 4:45 p. m., and will arrive at Conway at 6 o'clock, and Fort Smith y II o'clock. The service from Russellville to Fort Smith will be made better by the Missouri Pa cifc's decision to retain the present accommodation trains between those two points.
 Mr. Fountain stated that all along the division, the new service is being accepted as an improvement. both for passengers on short or long trips. Practically the same local service will be maintained and expanded, and in addition, the division will have the advantages to come from operation of the Rainbow Special"
