TO PURCHASE NEW
 IRON WAFER LINE COUNCIL TAXES ACTION
Conway Banks Agree to Assist City in Financing Immediate Purchase
 of New Iron Supply Pipe.

At a meeting late yesterday after noon of the city council, board of inn provement of Waterworks District No. and representative of all three of the local banks, arrangements were completed for the immediate in- stallation of a new iron main supply line connecting the water works pumping station at Gleason with the reservoir, distance of about one and one-quarter miles.
 Frequent breaks occurring in the wooden pipe between these points during the past two weeks resulted in decision not to delay the install lation of new iron pipe pending the making and approval of the assess ment by the improvement district, which would require probably 90 days, but to allow the city to purchase the material for this work at once, the improvement district to repur- chase it from the city as soon as it is in position to sell it's bonds.
 The agreement reached yesterday was that the city council authorize the commissioners of the district to purchase the pipe and material in the name of the city. warrants on the city general fund to be issued in pay ment therefor. The banks on their part agreed to accept and redeem these warrants at par on January 1, 1922, and to guarantee to the concern selling the pipe that their bill will be paid in cash on January 1 next.
 Supt. E. V. Leverett was directed to wire several companies manufac- turing iron pipe that the material will be purchased at Conway on next Tuesday, August 23, and ask them to send representatives here authorized to make a contract on that date. Inn mediate delivery will be required, and Mir. Leverett says the line can be laid in about three weeks. Something over 200 tons of 10-inch mains will be in stalled. |.
 The price of cast iron pipe is now less than half what it was when the improvement district was organized last fall and has fallen close to the lowest prewar figures.
 With the new supply line installed danger of exhaustion of the water supply will be eliminated and the filtration system can be operated much more efficiently than at pres ent

VIC. T.U. 10 KEEP
 UP LIQUOR FIGHT
fBy the Associated Press)

San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-Women of the country were called on to give their vigorous support to law enforcement by Miss Anna A. Gordon. president of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, at the opening of it's 18th annual convention here today.
 This was the keynote struck by Miss Gordon in her address on "The Ex- banding Program of our New Cru sade."
 We are not discharged from our peaceful anti-alcohol warfare of the past four decades" Miss Gordon told delegates representing 500,000 w. C.. T. U. members. We cannot lay down our arms.
 Much territory remains to be pos sessed for our foundation principles to total abstinence and prohibition.
 We thank God for the eighteenth amendment that legally breaks down the bulwalks of our enemy. But to- day he fights in the open. He is very much alive as law breaker and q beer Bolshevist. He would like to make the w. c. T. U. believe that it's warfare against alcohol is accomplish ed and that law enforcement need not be our great objective'
 Our chief danger lies in the apathy and indifference of many good people who aided in securing the law"

GRID PLAYER TRIED
 FOR INJURING RIVAL
(By the Associated Pressl )

Paris, Aug. 18.-A Rouen court has condemned a football player to four months in prison and to pay fine of 6,000 francs for injuring another player during match. This is the first time such a sentence has been delivered in France and if the judg- ment is held on appeal, it is believed in sporting circles that it wlll have a lasting effect on sports, as players will hesitate to risk going to prison for a game.
 The Olympic club of Paris was play ing the Rouen club (association) and during the first half Aymard (Rouen) had to leave the ground on account of an injury to his eye after a collision with the international player, Lan- genove (Olympic). The day was very foggy and only two or three players could see what really hap pened.
 The Rouen Club lodged a complaint with the French football federation which found it, impossible to obtain proof of misconduct against Langen owe. Aymard then sued Langenove before the Rouen courts and the fore going judgment was given by default French courts always give the max imum penalty when they condemn any one who does not appear for trial, but the sentence may be changed if the condemned man takes the case ta annan1

Wilson is in Conway today.

NORMAL EXPANDS
 SCHOOL FACULTY
STUDY COURSE ENLARGED
One Year Added Curriculum and Modern Languages Taught-List
 of New Teachers.

l Announcement of additions to the l faculty of the Arkansas State Nor maj School is contained in a news letter mailed this week to all county weeklies in Arkansas for publication in advance of the school opening on September 21. The faculty will be increased by six members, and one year added to the course of study.
 News letters mailed by the depart ment of extension to the press are bringing the State Normal valuable publicity and is bringing the institu tion to the attention of part of the states population not reached by the daily newspapers. The matter mailed this week is as follows:
 Progress in the development of the Arkansas State Normal School as the center of the states system of public school education is exemplified in the enlargement of it's faculty by six members, required by the addition of one year to the course of study and the probable increase of attendance which will be registered when the fall term is opened on September 21. Trustees of the institution one year ago authorized the addition of two years to the curriculum in order that it could confer the degree of bachelor of arts in education. One of the two years has been added for the 1921-22 session and the other will be added at the opening of the fall 1922 term.
 Featuring the courses added at the Normal School will be the department of modern languages, of which Miss Ada Jane Harvey will be head. Miss Harvey is spending the summer in study at the National University, Mexico City. This university has an offer to any American student that the Mexican government will pay the railroad fare from the border to Mex ico City and return, in order that the Spanish language may be better taught in American educational cen ters. Miss Harvey is also univer- sity graduate and an experienced teacher of French, Spanish and Ger man.
 Five other members who will join the faculty are H. L. Minton and l. P. Daniels, assistants in science. now taking postgraduate work at Chicago; Miss Daisy H. Dickerman of Columbia, assistant in education; Mrs. H. w. Mutt of Chicago, critic teacher in department of education; Miss Ora Blackburn of Chicago, assistant in English. Miss Edith A. Langley of Peabody. will be assistant in home economies, replacingg the late Miss Nell Casey.
 Owing to the fact that the legis- lature did not provide funds for more buildings, the maximum expansion of the State Normal School will of neces- sity be limited until the 1923 Heeting of the law makers. Friends and of ficials of the school are hopeful that by then, provision can be made to bring the physical equipment up to the standard already required by the student body. With the emphasis now being placed upon the rescue of the states public school system it is certain that the student body will be increased as fast as equipment is pro- vided. County uperintendents anx, ious to better qualify their teachers for work, will see to that.

WIRELESS PHONE QUICK
 IN HANDLING A. P. NEWS
Winners in Lake Speed Classic Called from Sub Chaser to Chicago
 Skyscraper.
(By the AsAociated rress)

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The wireless telephone, used by the Associated Press to cover the Great Lakes speed boat regatta August 4, 5, 6 and q, furnished solution for one of the most difficult problems of news men, that of getting the results ashore and into the office speedily.
 The ingenuity required to report yacht races has furnished many TO- mantle incident in news reporting, but the wireless telephone in this instance swept away every previous known bar rier to speed.
 Sitting in comfort on the deck of a ship at the finish line, the Associated Press reporter, without getting out of his chair, called the names of speed boats, as fast as they flashed past him, direct into the office of the As. sociated Press in loop skyscraper. His voice carried as clearly as if he had been in an adjoining room.
 The new experiment in reporting was made possible by the cooperation of the United States navy depart ment and the naval reserves of H. linois. The transmitting equipment, furnished by Cept. Edward F.. Evers, commanding the Illinois naval reserves was installed aboard the submarine chaser 419, placed at the disposal Of the Associated Press by Captain Dan iel W. Wurtzbaugh, commandant of the ninth naval district and Great Lakes naval training station. Lieut.. A.. C. Forbes, wireless officer of the H. linois reserves, was in charge of the Installation.
 At the Associated Press offices, on the seventh floor of an office build ing, small receiving set was placed on one corner of a desk, and for aer- ial, a single strand of wire was stretched from window to roof across an areaway.
 Lieut. Jack Henning, commanding; the SC-419, anchored alongside the judges barge, where the Associated Press correspondent was able to talk with judges, timekeepers and scorers, follow the two and a half mile race course with glasses, and dictate his bulletins through the air to the of. flee.
 During the regatta the wireless school at Great Lakes naval training station maintained telphone set or the municipal pier, where thousands of visitors to the pageant of pro- gress heard the Associated Press bul. letins.
 The naval wireless exhibit was one of the stellar attractions at the pageant. Visitors heard wireless telegraph stations in many parts O; the country, and listened in at band and photograph concerts in Chicago and othe- cities.

A Business Change

= The citizens of Hays were very
greatly surprised Wednesday morn
ing, to learn that Geo. Philip & Son
bad sold their hardware store. George
Philip has been in business in Ellis
county for over fifty years. He first
located at Victoria where he conduct
ed a successful general merchandise
store and was also postmaster. In
1886 ne was elected Treasurer of
Ellis county in which capacity he
served for four years. Subsequently
he acted as clerk under Hill P. Wilson
in the WaKeeney land Office for three
years. In 1894 he, with his son,
George, Jr., embarked in the hard
ware business on the corner of Chest
nut and Juniata where they have
been for.ove twenty-seven years.
It will seem strange to their large
patronage to trade with other
than George, Junior, or his
father, however, the new firm,
Will Bellman and H. W. Illingworth,
are both excellent citizens and we be-
Iieve will be acceptable successors of
Geo. Philip & Son. Mr.. Bellman is
known to majority of the citizens of
Ellis county having been a successful
farmer of this community, and who re-
Gently moved TO Hays, having sold his
farm. Mr.. IIIingworth has been a
salesman for the Avery Company for
several years past, and has had his
headquarters in Hays the past two
years, and is, we understand, an ex-
perienced hardware merchant. Here's
to the new firm; may. they thrive and
become prosperous!
