CHURCH SERVICES
 BY NOTED SINGERS

What promises to be an unusual treat for lovers of sacred music and gospel song is the coming of the Wis dom Sisters next Monday to spend a week in Conway. These young wom- en have devoted their lives to the study of music and have been for many years great favorites on the lyceum platform. At present they are giving their entire time to gospel sing ing and they are making in this field most enviable record for themselves. Their concerts of sacred music, ir- cluding instrumental and vocal mum bers, have charmed their audiences wherever they have been. Rev. E R. Steele writes from Pine Bluff that these young ladies have completely captivated the great crowds that have been hearing them every night fer the past week in that city.
 The Wisdom Sisters come to Con- way on the invitation of the First Methodist Church. Monday night they will give program of sacred music al the Methodist church. This con- cert will be free to the public, and all are cordially invited to attend Fol lowing Monday night there will be a series of special services extending through the week. At these services the Wisdom Sisters will give special musical numbers. The meetings that will be held will be of general interest to the entire town, but they will aim specially at toning up the congreg a'ion of the First Methodist church for the
 work nf the season that is just be- ginning.
 One of the services that will be of interest to every citizen in Conway will be the meeting on Thursday night, de voted to the welfare of the public school. Already a speaker who is a great favorite with Conway people has accepted an invitation to deliver the address on this occasion.

FAIRVIEW CREATES
 INTEREST AT RALLY

Education and improved agriculture occupied the front place yesterday at the highly successful rally and all day picnic held by the Fairview communi- ty. Speakers were County Agent T.. M. Williams, Supt A. A. Parsons, Jr., E. T. Herring, Dr. H. B. Hardy and Miss Martha Gretchen, Red Cross specialist assigned to the State Nor nal. A big crowd out for the occasion and great interest stirred in com munity development. Home Agent Mrs. c. D. Turner was present and demonstrated work for the club mem- bers and also the older people.
 The Fairview school building, built by citizens of that section, will be painted early in October, threatening weather keeping back the volunteer crews. MT. Williams will supervise the work, at the request of those in- terested in it.
 According to MT. Parsons, many communities in the county are dis playing the same progressive spirit as Fairview and are making rapid strides by boosting public school education and farm demonstration. Their work is typical of the forward spirit which is being developed through Mir. Will Hams, MT. Parsons, Mrs. Turner and their loyal associates.

9l7 ARE ENROLLED IN PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINCSOyERCR0WDED Increase of 115 Over Last Year Tn
 First Weeks Attendance-S
 Pupils Without Desks.

With IS more pupils in actual at tendance than the total number ot desks, the Conway public school at the end of the first week finds itself again badly overcrowded and with 1 little hope of relief from congested condition until the indebtedness of the district is reduced to a point where bonds can be issued to provide another building.
 Not including the first grade, where 121 pupils in half day sessions occupy 62 desks, there are in the remaining grades total of 796 pupils and a total of 71S desks in the main build ing and annex, leaving 78 without desks. Every room in both buildings is crowded practically to and above capacity.
 The total enrolment of the school at the end of the first week is 917. This is an increase of 115 over the enrolment at the same time last year, which was SOP, and a gain of 224 over the first week of the 1919-1920 ses- sion, when 693 enrolled. The attend ance during the session promises to exceed 1000 and may reach 1,200 Last years total enrolment for the session was 989.
 This enrolment does not include the negro school, with about 150 enrolle2. the practice school maintained by the State Normal, taking care of 100 Con- way pupils, the parochial school of St. Joseph's Catholic church with perhaps 75 pupils of the Conway school district, and several score of Conway boys and girls doing high or college work in Hendrix and Gen. tral colleges and the State Normal All told, there are about 1,500 persons of school age in the Conway district enrolled in one of the schools of this city. In the recent school census 1,845 boys and girls of school age were enumerated in the district
 Of the 917 enrolled in the white public schools, 168 are pupils who have never before attended this school. Sixty-seven of this number are be- ginners who have never attended any school, 101 being pupils who have moved to Conway since the 1920-21 session closed Three hundred and fortythree of the present enrolment are junior and senior high school pu- pills.
 While there is little hope of inn mediate relief from the present con- gestion by the provision of an addi- tional building, the special sales and luxury taxes, which are now making the operation of the school possible, will if continued rapidly reduce the heavy burden of debt now hanging over the district to point where the directors will be able to float a new bond issue and obtain funds to erect badly needed new high school build ing.

In the northwest and California, the
buyers of these products could de-
pend upon the pack inside the box;
whereas when Colorado fruit and
vegetables were purchased, they
never were sure from the grade

it up. This bill undertakes to stabi-
lize the pack and grading OF perish
able goods in Colorado that Is ship
ped in carload lots as 1t is done IN
Washington, Idaho. Wisconsin and

amended in the Senate. any person
who does not desire to ship under
state grading may do SO by marking
on the outside of his box or sack
.'Uninspected". An appropriation OF
ten thousand dollars is fixed in the
bill to start the work off, and a small
grading and inspection charge will
be made during the shipping season
for those who take adyantae OF It.
