OUTLOOK OPTIMISTIC
 FOR COLLEGE DRIVE

An enthusiastic rally in behalf of the Christian education movement was held at the First Methodist church last night. Leaders and work CTS in the drive locally are very op- timistic as to the prospect for suc- cessful campaign in Conway. Its start on May 20 will find the work CTS fully prepared. The quota of the local church is S60,000.
 For more than one reason, the Southern Methodist church will watch the showing of Conway in the cam paign. Dr. John Hugh Reynolds, the director general, is a local citizen, and in addition, the city has wide reputation for its support of Hendrix. In a recent address at Shreveport, Dr. George s. Sexton fully detailed Conway's contribution to Christian education and declared it would be nothing short of a community shame if Shreveport fell short of the high standard set by Conway.

TO ACT ON SPECIAL
 TAX PLAN TONIGHT

A full attendance of merchants and business men of all classes is expect ed tonight at the meeting called by the Conway school board and Con- mercial and Rotary Club committees for the purpose of considering a plan for collecting luxury and sales taxes in the district for the financial aid of the public school here. The meeting will be in the Commercial Club rooms at 7:30 o'clock Those who find it inn possible to reach the meeting place at that hour are invited to come as early thereafter as they can.
 Although there is some objection to the proposed system, it is apparent ly winning favor rapidly, and the sen- timent that it is the only practical so- lution of a very difficult problem seems to be erystallizing.
 Tonight's meeting will be an in- formal one, at which everyone is ex- pected to feel at liberty to offer any suggestions he may have in mind.

DEALERS SEE SPURT
 IN BUILDING TRADES

An increase in construction activ- ities all over the United States may result in higher prices for building materials, according to an advertise- ment carried in today's Log Cabin Democrat by local lumber dealers. Considerable increase has been noted in construction activities, the dealers say, and the demand probably will boost prices. The admonition of the dealers is to build now and not await the coming of lower prices.
 While building activities locally have increased, Conway dealers see room for improvement and are urg- ing prospects not to delay. The ad- vertisement today is the fifth of the series published by the Conway deal CTS as an aid to their trade.

MIR. BRENNAN HAS PROOF
 OF 'HUMANIzED SERVICE
Wanted Six Day Vacation. It Develops and Hays Willing-Says Hays
 Not Communicative.

The "humaniZed service" announced by Postmaster General Will H. Hays has made vivid impression upon the mind of E. A. Brennan, until Monday postmaster under appointment which would not expire until Is months more had elapsed. General Hays announced when he became head of the depart ment that the service would be "hu- manizd," and the ex-postmaster has some clear cut ideas of what the word means.
 Coming upon the heels of train of events which had left Mir. Brennan slightly mystified, the department did not acknowledge his request for leave of absence to extend six days from Monday. Before leaving here Monday morning, MT. Brennan said he made | such request last week and receiving no response, repeated it by telegraph last Friday. His telegram met with the same reception apparently as it fell into sea of silence. However, he said, he was very anxious for the six day rest and Monday morning left for Iexarkana, his departure being almost coincident with the arrival of the order installing G. E. Owen as acting post master.
 By now, MT. Brennan probably knows that his vacation is to be of six days and more.
 As matter of fact, MT. Brennan said he had received very few con- munications from the department His resignation which the first assist ant postmaster general said would be i acceptable, has not been acknowledged although evidence is not lacking now that it was accepted. Nevertheless, an employe of the department or any other department is not expected to know anything unless it is official" and the ex-postmaster received only i indirect intimations that his with drawal has been approved by the new "humanized" service.
 The procedure under which the change was accomplished at the Con- way office was brief though covering a period of time. First, the county and sttae Republican committee were notified to endorse a candidate for the office. This was done at a time when MT. Brennan claims no intimation had been given him that his removal was contemplated MT. Owen was en- dorsed successively by the county and state committees. The second step was notice to Mir. Brennan that his resignation would be acceptable to the department. Without delay, his resig- nation was sent in to become effective [June 30. The third and final step was the order of the first assistant direct ing Mir. Owen to take charge of the office immediately, which was done yesterday.
 Although MT. Brennan did not di- rectly say so. it is probably that he left for Texarkana yesterday morning without being aware of the depart ment's newest order.

One hundred and seven carloads of strawberries have been shipped from McRae, White county. this season and have been sold at S7.60 per crate, an unusually high price, according to a letter received by w. J. Gardner from his friend, H. w. Lawrence of the Me Rae Strawberry Association.
 MT. Lawrence writes that the crop was short on account of the freezes, but the berries have been moving free ly the past four weeks. "The price is advancing" he states. "Klondykes are all gone, but made a fair yield Aromas will last 10 days or more and probably will touch $8 by Tues day, reports our salesmanager, C. A.
