HERE TO SURVEY
 WATERWORKS PLAN

Prof. W. N. Gladson, dean of the engineering department of the Uni versity of Arkansas, is spending to- day in Conway for the purpose of making survey of the proposed im- provements and extension in the mu- nicipal waterworks system. Prof. Gladson came here at the invitation of Supt. E. V. Leverett, who is pre- paring the preliminary plans and specifications for the improvement.
 4 district was organized several months ago for the purpose of re- building and extending the water works system, but on account of financial conditions the board has found it impracticable to sell the bonds and proceed with construction. In the meantime, however, the pre- liminary work is being done, so that as soon as conditions will permit con- struction can be started.

FREEDOM MUST BE BOUGHT
And the Price to Be Paid Is Complete Mastery of All Passions and
 Appetltes.

Freedom is not a gift, but an at- tainment It does not characterize the state of nature, but flowers from the growth of personality and civiliza- ton. --,-s s~+--,
 Action issues from character and there Is inner discord and the feel ing of restraint until the individual is happy and satisfied in his act and attitude
 A divided will marks incomplete personality. and 1t Is not q free will.
 Every man must win his own free dom. He must desire 1t enough to pay its price, and Its price Is the mas tery of passions and appeutes.
 AS a man gains mastery over his own powers and desires he is free. Resolutions are good, because they witness to the sense of incomplete self mastery and to the vision of greater self-control and freedom that are pos sible.-Minneapolis Journal.

JONESBORO WILL CUT
 SESSIONS TO HALF DAv

Jonesboro, April 11.-Present finan- cial. conditions affecting the schools and the indebtedness that now hangs over them have caused the Jonesboro school board to adopt a policy of re- trenchment and strict economy, in- cludlng the abolishing of the office of school superintendent.
 At meeting Thursday night of a number of business men and the mem- bers of the school board is was de- cided that high school pupils should be sent to the state agricultural school here. The abolishing of the office of city superintendent will effect a say ing of S2,600 annually. The four banks of the city agreed to finance the ward schools, the faculty of which will be reduced, while the pupils will attend half day sessions only, and there will be no study periods, the ses- sions to be given over entirely to re- citations.
 These plans will go into effect at the beginning of the fall term of school and it is stated that in this way the school budget can be met with S40,000. The school board will offer for sale s25,0O0 worth of short term bonds to liquidate the present debt to be banks.

Washington, April 11.-Unusuallly brief was the first days session of the SiNty-Seventh congress, which convened at the capitol at noon today for an extra session called by Presi- dent Harding.
 Both congressman and senators hurried through the formalities at tendant upon the opening of the ses- sion, such as the adoption of rules, the swearing in of members. The appointment of the membership of the various committees in the two houses had already practically been decided upon by eongression leaders
 The selection of committee to for mally wait upon the president and in form him that congress was organized and ready to receive his message oc- cupied few minutes in the house.
 The senate, having already gone through these formaHties when it was convened immediately after the inau- guraeion of President Harding, spent even a briefer time in session today.
 Tomorrow congress will hear the presidents message and will begin the consideration of the tariff ques- ton, which Republican leaders in both houses have decided to make the first business of the extra session.

CL|NI0N-DkMASCUS
 ROAD WORK STOPS
(Clinton Democrat ]

As result of the restraining or der issued by Judge McMahan in chancery court here Tuesday all work, with the exception of Contractor Feels personal force, in construction of the Clinton-Bee Branch Damascus highway, has been at least tempor- arily suspended.
 Much of the work thus far accom- plished has been done by sub-contrac- tors. Of the eighteen or more miles of road to build the heavy work, cth- CT than grading, according to Mr. Peel, has been completed on all save 8 1-2 or miles. Between Clinton and Choctaw two gaps, approximat- ing one-half mile each, are yet to be completed. Pending fina disposition of the case MT. Peel has announced his intention of completing these gaps and grading the road ready for travel.
 The commissioners, so we are ad- vised, have issued and realized upon $95,000 worth of bonds, but now find themselves without funds to prose- cute the work, something like S35,- OOO or S40,000 being required to com plete the road. In the expenditure of the above sum is included one steel bridge, paid for but not vet receiv- Cd, to be erected across Choctaw at the town of Choctaw, also, all steel cIlverts needed for the road.

problem, with probable amendment of the transportation act of 1920.
 These are the outstanding features of the program, though Harding may decide to include number of others, among them enactment of anti-profi- teering laws to replace those sections declared unconstitutional this spring by the supreme court; measures de- sired by the farmers to enable them to obtain credit more easily, etc.
 While the house is putting in motion the machinery necessary to pass the emergency tariff and anti-dumping bills, the senate is to consider the Co., lombian treaty, under an agreement to vote on the eighth day after the ses- sion begins. There may be lively tilt over this pact, particularly over efforts of Senator Lodge to have 1t considered in secret.
 The senate also will have a large number of nominations to consider, among them that of former Repre- sentative John Esch of Wisconsin, who failed of confirmation as member of the interstate commerce commission at the extra session of the senate in March. The shipping board and other important posts are also to be filled.
 Indicating their intention of put ting the Harding program through IS quickly as possible, senate leaders have determined to impose the cloture rule, limiting debate. with respect to the emergency tariff bill This may cause a long wrangle. with the Demo- crats stoutly opposing it.
 Development of Harding's foreign policy may engage the senate's atten- tion before the session ends, though the present desire is to dispose first of domestic questions, The question 9f a separate peace with Germany, through adoption of the Knox resolution or some substitute repeating the declara-

OriQInal Galoshes.

The fashionable gaIoshes that are now Tapping about the ankles of pretty girls were first introduced in America about 1880 in Boston. The galoShes or boots were as ugly and clumsy as they are today, but were even more popular. They required peculiar care, as the manufacturers had little knowledge of the use of rubber gum. In winter they froze hard and stiff, and had to be thawed out before they could be worn, and care had to be taken not to thaw them too well, or they would run into a sticky mass In the summer they got sticky and shapeless unless kept on Ice and taken out during rain storm only.
