Torreyson, the toastmaster, the audience of over 100 men arose in , unanimous endorsement of the reco- gnition extended the two officers iii the presentation of gold headed canes.
 The happy spirit of the occasion was infectious and the program, un- der the skillful handling of Mir. Tor reyson went through with applause and bursts of laughter as it's only interruption. MT. Torreysons charac- terstic humor proved a big factor in making the event one thorough en- joyed
 After the serving by the ladies ot the auxiliary, the invocation was ask ed by Rev. c. M. Reyes, pastor f the First Methodist church. MT. Torreyson then stated the purpose of the meeting as to find out from men in position to know, what is happen ing and has been happening in Con- way. He admonished speakers, how ever, not to tell everything they know as the audience would not stand fol it. As to the length of time allotted each, he reminded they of Procrustcs of mythological fame and the Pro- crustean bed which could be extended or shortened to fit it's occupant, Speakers who failed to occupy heir l full time would be treated with a Procrustean extension, but those who overstepped would fill the screws re- quired for shortening.
 Introducing P. F. Cleaver, presi- dent of the club, Mir. Torreyson de- clared that ConWays citizenship has far flung reputation for sticking to- gether and that the club is one of the big reasons for the unified effort. Mr. Cleaver explained the recent activity l to place the club on a firmer finan- cial base and complimented Tom Davis of the finance committee for the good work done More individual mem berships at $1 are needed, he said, to help the club carry on. On the work of the club, MT. Cleaver men, tioned the milk station and the dairy business, which he predicted will be soon seen as a great revenue pro- ducer. He also mentioned the national guard company, which will bring S12,- 900 or $15,000 annually into Conway. Formation of the company has been aided by the club, he said.
 Two other club activities were men, toned by Mir. Cleaver in the course of his recounting activities of the club and what it hoped to accomplish. Reduction of cotton acreage has creat- ed new situation in agriculture and the club should provide for a market ing agen whose duty it would be to sell the new crops being grown in this county. The club is also now in shape to go ahead with it's advertising cam paign in Fl Dorado and possibly through Little Rock newspapers to attract people at Fl Dorado who are seeking new homes.

Woodruff for his work in projecting the strawberry industry and R. l.. Folts for his untiring efforts to es- tablish the dairy business here. He also paid unstinted priase to Mayor Cole and Senator Hartje for their leadership in the forward movement
 Fitting praise of the work of Sena- tor Hartje was paid by Jo Frauen- thai in his address presenting the cane to the senator. By an apt H. lustration Mir. Frauenthal pictured the events which obscure the better side i of politics and declared those leaders whose work is above criticism should be honored now. The time is now, the place is here and the man is Senator Hartje,' Mir. Frauenthal declared, in presenting the cane. "We trust that hereafter when you look upon this token, it will remind you of this ! pleasant occasion" In his response the senator briefly described some of the inner workings" of the legisla- ture and commended as one of it's best acts, the increase of one mill granted on the state levy for educa- tion, one-fifth of which will go to the State Normal. Mir. Torreyson added word of praise for the senator, de- claring that whatever the State Nor maj wanted Senator Hartje prompt
