boarding party which captured the

trumpet from the hand of Captain j.

NATIONAL BEAUTY
 TO DEDICATE DAM

Little Rock, Oct 25.-While the movie men for the news weeklies crank their cameras and 5000 people crane their necks, Miss Edith Mae Patterson of Pine Bluff, adjudged the prettiest girl in 46 states, suspended in mid-air on the giant cable way, will drop a bottle of pure Arkansas spring water upon the site of Arkan- sas' first great hydro-electric dam at Camp Livingston on Little Red river, November 4. It will be date that will doubtless go down in Arkan- sas history as marking the advent of new industrial era, and will mark the dedication of $2,000,000 pro- ject.
 Governor McRae will deliver the dedication address as the closing fea- ture of an interesting, program. Presi- dent Virgil c. Petite of the Arkansas Hydro Electric Development Company will preside. A motor caravan will leave Little Rock at 8 o'clock in the morning, picking up delegations en route and arrive at the site of the dam at 80 a. m. in time for the dedica- tion exercises, which will conclude with an old fashioned barbecue. The ceremonies will be brief but impress sive.
 Hundreds of Arkansans are going to look back upon this occasion as the beginning of new industrial area in our state," said Mr. Petite. Ut isn't merely that we are spending $2,000,- 1000 on project big in itself, that alone warrants this jubilee, but the significance of the event lies in the fact that on a conservative estimate, $50 100000 worth of new manufac- turies will follow this big hydro-elec- tric project. It will be the key that unlocks our treasure house of ram materials and resources, which we will send out as manufactured products to the world in exchange for the worlds money; new Arkansas will arise from this enterprise"

BROTHERS DUEL
 COSTS ONES LIFE
SCENE NEAR MORRlLT0N
Charles Spier Shoots and Kills Brothe, Arthur, and is Himself Slightly
 Wounded.

Morrilton Oct. 25-Arthur Spier, aged 30, was shot and instantly killed yesterday by his brother, Charles Spier, aged "A. The killing occurred about nine miles from Morrilton and three miles from the brothers homes. It was witnessed by R. I. Spier, father of the two men.
 Dr. J. B. Arthur, county coroner, conducted an inquest the jury hold ing the killing justifiable.
 According to evidence produced at the inquest, the two brothers had been at loggerheads about two years. AL though they lived only about 15O yards apart, they had not spoken to each other for more than a year, it was said. The trouble between them grew out of alleged relations between Charles Spier and Arthur's wife.
 Charles and his father were return ing to their home in a wagon when they met Arthur in the road. Arthur is said to have jerked out his pistol and Charles picked up shotgun which lay in the wagon. They fired simultaneously, it was testified. Arthur received practically the en- tire load of shots, while Charles re- ceived flesh wound in the leg. Arthur died about three hours later.
 The two brothers staged duel last August when they met in the road near Plumerville, and both emptied their pistols, but neither was injured.
 Arthur is survived by his wife and three children. Charles is single. He lives with his father. Charles was arrested by Sheriff R. E. Bartlett, but was released following the cor oner's inquest.

OBITUARY.

On October "A, 1921 the death angel came to the home of Mir. and Mrs. w. 0. Nixon and claimed their son. Hubert. He was only 12 years and 25 days of age and was sick only five days. We can't understand why his stay was so short here on earth, but God knowest best. It was his will to call Hubert home, where there are no more sorrows or sad good-byes. He leaves one sister, two brothers, moth- fer and father and a host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss. We can not meet him rere on earth, but can live so we may meet him in the beautiful place whicl God prepares for his followers.
 He will be missed at school, Sunday school and many places. Because he was so kind hearted and always had a word for everybody, he was loved by everybody who knew him. He was laid to rest in Spring Hill cemetery

5000 TO ATTEND
 TEACHER MEETING AT LITTLE ROCK NOV. 10 Greatest Educational Convention in States History Planned to be
 Held Next Month.

Little Rock, Oct. 25.-The annual
 convention of the Arkansas Educa-
 tional Association which is to be held in Little Rock, November 10-11-12, Will
 be the greatest in the history of the
 state. At least 5000 teachers and citizens interested in tn public schools, are expected to attend the session.
 The railroads have made a special rate of one and one-half fares on all line effective November 8. This IS an open rate for the benefit of every body and no certificate will be requir- ed. It is made in the interests of the Educational Association and the state fair and exposition which will be held during this week. All the leading ho- tels have made a rate of $1 up, per day, and the Board of Commerce has called upon the Y. w. c. A. to list rooming accommodations for 5000 teachers. The sentiment in Little Rock is that the. teachers must be en- tertained properly and assurances are given that there will be ample accom- modations for all. There will be four general sessions at the Little Rock high school and 19 sectional meetings in various halls and churches. Friday afternoon the teachers will participate in the armistice day exercise of the American Legion and the opening of the state fair.
 Among the prominent speakers on the program are P. P. Claxton, form CT United States commissioner of Ed ucation, now provost of the Univer- sity of Alabama; Hugh S. Magill of Washington, D. C., secretary of the National Educational Association; A. o. Eberhart of Chicago, former gov ernor of Minnesota; J. M. Gwinn, su- perintendent of the New Orleans schools and Josephus Daniels, secre- tary of the navy under President Will son.

NORMAL IS LEADER
 ON SCHOOL REPORT
EXPANSION MOST RAPID
Local School Not Listed by State Bureau, Tops Others on Per
 Cent of Gain.

In mailing out questionnares to ascertain the condition of education al institutions in Arkansas cn Octo- Der l, the state department of edu- cation for some reason overlooked the State Normal School, the one which comparison shows to have made the rapid strides of all. On the double points of increase in students and development of its ex- tension departments, the State, Nor nal shows more rapid development than the University of Arkansas or others listed in the summary of con- ditions as published in the Arkansas Gazette of Sunday. All the ques- tions propounded on the question naire are answered by the State Nor mai in order to keep the public in- formed of it's progress.
 At the University of Arkansas, a gain of 13 per cent in the size of the student body, compared with the fall term of last year, is claimed on the report. State Normal has gain ed 36.3 per cent, it's student body last fall numbering 264 as compared with 360 to this date Completion of one of the questionnaries would also show the immense gain made by the summer session, already known to residents of Conway.
 While the student body has in creased remarkably, it has not kept pace with the development of the ex- tension department under the able direction of Lieut.. Col. H. L. McAlis. ter. Since it's establishment in Octo. /, Der, 1919, the correspondence work has increased 400 per cent Only 10f were enrolled the first year, 515 tho second year and now the total o1 618. The department now mas 36( teachers at work on courses, and tht majority of the others nave com. pleted their work and received certi ficates.
 Correspondence is not the only ac tivity of this department. It super vises study clubs in several counties l of the state. Three such clubs witt membership of 82 teachers were formed the first year, and this mum Der has been increased to five witt another to be formed the first week l in November. All told 154 teachers are enrolled for study in the five clubs, which Normal faculty mem bers attend as supervisors.
 State Normal's attendance is furth. CT increased by the model training school, maintained for the benefit foI students of pedagogy. It has 145 pupils enrolled in grade work. Friends of the Normal are justly proud of the record it has made ir extending it's scope of work to the public schools of Arkansas. Its ex- pansion is now and has for some time been limited only by facilities pro- vided by the state.
