NORMAL 40 PER CT.
 ABOVE LAST YEAR
UNEXPECTED INCREASE
Is Shown in Early Enrolment-Many High School Graduates Among
 Matriculants.

Much to the surprise o1 the entire State Normal administration enroll ment at that institution today is run ming abou 40 per cent in excess of the same day year ago, the number al- ready being in excess of the enroll ment of the entire fall term last year. At noon today 275 students had ma circulated, comparing with an even 200 at the close of the second day of reg istration last fall, and with a total enrolment of 268 during the first 12 weeks last year.
 Attendance at the Normal is al ways comparatively light during the early fall months, owing to the fact that many rural teachers do not close their summer schools until October or later. This year, owing to num- Der of adverse conditions, it was an- ticipated that the opening attendance would be little if any in excess of last years. For the past two or three weeks, however, a campaign of cir cular letters to former students and county school superintendents has been carried on, with results that have exceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions. Pres. B. w. Torreyson said today he now expects that the attend ance will exceed that of last fall by probably 100 before the term ends. Despite the increased attendance, no difficulty is being experienced in se- curing board accommodations for all out-of- town students, President Tor reyson said Rates for private board have been reduced to $25 per month while board at Doyne hall, the Normal dormitory for girls, is given at $2C per month Rooms at Caddo club, also owned by the Normal, and meals at an adjacent boarding house, cost $2z per month. Doyne hall is filled to ca pacity, but there are still few rooms at Caddo club.
 The new students include more than twice as many high school graduates as ever matriculated at previous opening, President Torreyson said ] The proportion of male students is also higher than last year. Of the first 230 enrolled up to last night, 83 or slightly more than one-third, were 1 men. .. On account of registration and clas- sification requiring more time than was anticipated, slight change was made in the schedule for beginning work. Registration will be continued until noon tomorrow, and the day recitation schedule will be carried through in 15 minute periods tomor, row afternoon.
 Informal opening exercises will be held at the regular chapel period to- morrow morning at $40 o'clock. The public is invited to attend the exer- cises.

COTTON DECREASE BENEFITS COUNTY INCREASES FOOD, FEED County Agent Also Sees Rural Educa- tion Bettered-Advises Truck
 Farming.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 It is very evident that the seven million bale crop of cotton being har- vested this fall will bring as much money to the south as fourteen mil lion bale crop would. But is it as clear in your mind as it should be that it will bring other things not men, toned in the difference between sev- en million bales and fourteen million bales?
 For instance had it occurred to you that the difference in work required to produce the other seven million bales has been used, in many cases. toward the production of feed and food. In other words, the extra feed and food raised, due to the time for such by not having the entire farm in cotton, will be pure velvet. For if a fourteen million bale crop of cot ton only brings the south as much money as seven million bale crop, it stands to reason that crops produced with the extra time required in mak- ing the other seven million bales, will be net gain which would not be pos sible with the greater production.
 And too, the nature of the crops grown for feed and food have been in many instances a soil building plant instead of a soil robber as cotton is.
 To the thinking man and woman there is still greater benefit from the seven million bale crop: It will allow more time, both in the spring and in the fall, for the children to re- main in school, especially the older ones. Possibly you might say that "they have all the time in school that the school is in session, as it keeps but few months in the winter" This is the greatest argument for a diff ferent cropping system. The flew months in the winter"
 There are more people in the south who can not read and write than any where in the United States. There are more people in the cotton counties of Arkansas who can not read and write than in the counties where there is no cotton. More women and chil- dren work in the fields doing it in addi- tion their household duties, in the cot ton counties than in any county where little or no cotton is raised, and have less to show for their efforts.
 Plan now to help Faulkner county change her cropping system. Plant an acre of strawberries this fall on fresh land, if you live near one of the hard surfaced roads, keep those bullets and organize an egg shipping circle as the Perkins community has done, and with this, through the or ganization, get cream separator and ship cream. These projects with a good home orchard, few hogs and more feed and food will in time put conveniences in your home, change the tired look in your wife's face and make of her a more desirable com- panion.

 This society has been fortunate in securing the services of pr. Conterno as it's conductor. Dr. Conterno has don a great deal in the short time that he has been in Bridgeport to elevate music. And it is believed that with the further support of the musicians in this new organization, he can further accomplish the results on a much larger scale than he has heretofore. This orchestra is already made up of musicians who have fine standing in the community and in the profession, and it is no doubt that the people will have a treat in store for them during the concert season.
 There will be a. special meeting of this society at the Harvey Hubbell Auditorium Sunday afternoon, Sept. 4. to make final arrangements, and to finish up the organization work.

AUDREY SCORNS
 TEXAS HERMES

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. 2-The Texas Hermes, C1eawor Wood. who stepped right up forward and said he was willing to claim Audrey Munson, per feet artists model, as his bride and start a line of Greek Venuses and Apo1los, will meet with disappo1nt- 1aent in his eugenic aspirations, it was indicated today, for Miss Munson who several days ago said she would not marry unless she could find a man with the outlines of Hermes, has retired in deep silence, from which she refuses to be withdrawn. ---
 She has literally gone to the coun- try to rest on the farm of John Bailey, two miles from Mexico.
 She was visited by her father, Ed ward Munson, real estate man, who asked her is she intended to be mar ried. She replied she did not want to and sent a message that she would not return to Syracuse for some time.
 Miss MunSon said she had received no answers to her strange proposal to marry a perfect man and establish a pure Greek colony which would fol low the traditions of classic days Newspapers have quoted her say ing she believes it her duty to perpet- uate a figure whcih artists have ca1l- l ed divine, but she is now shielding herself from publicity. Whether she will change her mind when the Texar | arrives is a matter of conjecture The i Texan has stated he possesses the l correct Hermes dimensions.

Jewish Societies
 To Hold Conference

The Keren Hayesod Bureau CPa1- estine Foundation. F'und) has issued a call for a conference of all the Jew ish organizations in Bridgeport. In vitations to 60 various societies were sent out and committees from the Keren Hayesod will visit every Jew ish society during the month of Sep tennber-
 The time has come when we must respond to the call of unity The Jewish nation at present is bleeding. their positions in life. hundreds of thousands of Jews are homeless, op- pressed, massacred and they are forced to seek refuge-But where? closed to them. On the borders of every country in Europe they are wandering naked, barefooted, hungry and without shelter. They raise their eyes to Heaven praying, Where from will come my help.'
 In the midst of this great dark ness and distress for Jewry. there is a country waiting for the Jews to come and up-build it, to create there a new civilization. There are oppor- tunities waiting for the Jew through honest labor to secure the Jewish fu- ture and once for all solve the Jew ish Problem.
 Palestine was recognized by all the powers as the Jewish Homeland. The question now being asked by the en- tire civilized world it-Have the Jews the power to build - Will the Jew make good?
 To us, the present generation of 1 Jews, has come this opportunity and challenge. The scores of past gener- ations, to whom the opportunity was denied, call upon us to answer. | The World Zionist Organization, i the custodian of the Jewish National 1 purpose. and the agency recognized l by the Palestine mandatory as rep resenting the Jewish people, is giving l the Jews of the world the opportun- l ity to register their answer clearly and effectively The World Zionist 1 Organization has established the | dation Fund.
 The cause of Palestine cannot wait. It cannot even wait until | business picks up.'' Our pioneers are knocking on the doors. The hts- toric opportunity is here today. It l may be gone tomorrow.
 What if the Jews make failure ot
 Palestine? The prospect, both ma | terfal and moral. is too terrible tc contemplate. The calamity would be 1 unspeakable. The stigma and dis | grace unendurable.
 l We dare not fail We will not fail The Bridgeport Keren Hayesod
 Bureau has already registered S25,-
 900 contributed by 300 people. Pos.
 abilities are far greater.
 we, therefore. call a conference o1 i all Jewish organizations on Sunday | Oct. g, 2:3o D. m., at the Harmony 1 hall, to combine and unite the Jew
 ish community in Bridgeport for the
 greatest work in history. Elect you1 l delegates and send in their names tc
