 IN EFFECT FRIDAY
DIR. CONCER AS DIRECTOR
Luncheon Thursday Night to Explain Details-Cleaver Adds Jetton
 as Notable"

The scheme of sales and luxury tax es for the financial relief of the Con. way special school district will go in- to effect Friday morning, July 15.
 Dr. J. W. Conger, president emerl- tus of Central College, as publicity director will have charge of many de- tails connected with the system of taxation.
 A luncheon to merchants, business men and sales forces who will do the actual collecting, will be given tomor- row night at 6:30 o'clock in the rooms of the Conway Commercial Club fo1 the purpose of explaining all details.
 These three decisions were reached at a meeting of the committees m charge yesterday afternoon. Stamps to be used in collecting the sales tax are being printed today and the fuil amount of supplies required will be available by Thursday at noon. Stamps, the authority of the school board to collect the tax and the rules governing it's collection will be dis tributed among business houses which signed the agreement, and by Friday morning, the city will be in readi- ness for start.
 The committee urgently requests the presence of all concerned with col lection of the tax, at the luncheon to- morrow night. All details will be ex- plained and the system made clear. The luncheon will be served by the ladies auxiliary and heads of firms are requested to phone Mrs. Opie HartJe, president of the auxiliary, the number of plates required for the number to attend from their stores. It will be 'get together" affair and will be made as brief as consistent with it's purpose.
 Still other additions were made to the list of citizens who signed the agreement to pay the tax. J. W. James, Frank Moll and Mrs. F. S. H. Johnston are three added today.
 A suggestion that Conway celebrate the success of the relief movem ot With a sing is made in a letter by r. F. Cleaver, president of the Con way Commercial Club, who is confident that the civic spirit of Conway will make the tax plan accomplish all that IS hoped from it. MT. Cleaver also glves due credit to Rev. R. l.. Jetton for his perseverance and hard work in behalf of the plan His letter is as follows:
 Editor, Log Cabin Democrat:
 After following the recent course of events leading up to the splendid con. summation of the sales tax plan for the relief of our public schools, it must be source of pride to every citizen i of Conway that he lives in a com munlty where the spirit of co-opera. ton IS equal to any emergency. It has been a unique accomplishment and many towns over the country will doubtless seek the way out of their school difficulties after the pattern originated here. Once more has Con. way justified it's place in the sun and 1t comes from "a long pull, a strong pull, and pull all together"
 In Tuesdays Log Cabin, Mir. Allison told the story and expressed the ap. preclation of the school board for the labor and loyalty of the men and women who worked out the plan. He named few of those who had beer leaders and gave them the credit they richly deserve. He overlooked one man, whose optimism, faith, perser verance and good, hard work iron the outset carried the sales tax over all doubts and opposition-the Rev k. l.. Jetton. Put him too at the tor of the honor roll.
 Now in a few days will come the working test. Let every nuhli, spirited merchant who has put serv Ice above self, and every man, woman and child, who have shown that theil school Is dear to their hearts, joir cheerfully in making the plan func. ton one hundred per cent efficient every day. Then when school opens again in the fall, and We have shown the world that we found the way out lets have big community sing in celebration of what the Con. way spirit can do.
 1ourS respectfully,
 Conway Commercial Club.
 By P. F, Cleaver, President.
