CLINIC FINISHES
 SUCCESSFUL STAY

Concluding a successful stay of two weeks in this county, the Child Welfare Special, the motorized clinic for children operated by the federal department of labor, moved on last night to Atkins, where today work will be started in Pope county. The special will work at Atkins and Rus sellville and probably other points in that county before going to Fay etteville, the final stop in Arkansas before it begins tour of Oklahoma It's schedule in Arkansas is condi- toned upon the roads, and the Fay etteville trip will be cancelled if it is found the big truck will not stand travel in that direction
 Vilonia and Guy gave the clinic a busy week. During a stay of two days at Vilonia, 81 children were ex- amined by Dr. Frances Sage Bradley and her staff, and many were turned away for lack of time. The clinic WIS held at Guy on Wednesday, Thurs day and part of Friday. Ninety five children were given examination Dr. Bradley returned here Friday af- ternoon to complete her reports to the department of labor.
 The work of the federal clinic in Arkansas has given strength to the movement for the purchase and equipment of similar truck to be operated by the state board of health In addition to the examination of fered by the federal clinic, it would also provide free dental attention to those requiring it. Health workers are hopeful that the proposal will be favorably considered by the 1925 legislature.

FARCE AT IDEAL.

Cecil B. DeMille has hit the bulls eye again. "Why Change Your Wife?" is a comedy satire on mar ried life. Nothing of farcical na- ture is introduced. It is truth itself, with rare bits of sparkling drama, and it runs along smoothly and fast. The dialogue of the sub-titles is re- plete with homely philosophy, the kind that strikes every married wom- an, every lover or sweetheart. There never was more costly and lavish display of gowns in a DeMille pie ture than this, never more elaborate settings. Is about as near 100 per cent perfect picture as it. is possible to make one. Indeed, it is truly a Paramount-Artcraft special. It will be shown at the Ideal theatre tonight

 COTTON'S GROWTH WEATHER ALMOST IDEAL
Commercial Appeal Finds Crop Gen erally near 10-Year Average
 Despite Pest.

Memphis, July 25.-Reports to the Commercial Appeal of the average date of July 21 indicate that the cot ton crop has, because of boil weevil failed to make that response which might have been expected from favor able weather conditions, but on the whole is better than it was a month ago.
 There are some scattered complaints of shedding due to causes other than boil weevil, but weevil constituted not only the chief drawback in so far as development since June is concerned, but is also the principal menace to the future of the crop.
 Weevils have made new invasions in North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Oklahoma, but nowhere has dam- age been proportionate to infestation, which is reported to be very heavy.
 Nearly all sections received plenty of rain during the month, and many particularly in Texas, in view of boil weevil, would probably have been bet ter off without so much. While here and there drouthy tendencies pre- vailed, too much rain was the most prominent reason for complaints that weather was unfavorable.
 While there has been some deteri- oration, reports indicate that it is more than offset by improvement in other sections. The crop of the Caro- linas and Georgia, of Mississippi and Oklahoma seems hardly as good as it was last year at this time-in South Carolina it is much poorer-but else where is seems to average with last year fairly well.
 Worms are spoken of by Texas and Arkansas correspondents; rust in Oklahoma and red spider in the At lantics, but aside from boil weevi! there appears to be no important in- jury to the crop. Lack of fertilizer is manifesting itself in the Atlantics
 Except in South Carolina the plant seems to be fruiting we'll, except in scattered localities. Fields, as a rule, are clean and we'll cultivated. In some sections, where rain was excessive, fields are somewhat grassy.
 This report is based on correspond ence covering 782 counties and par. ishes in the 10 principal cotton pro- ducing states.
 The Commercial Appeals summary for the Arkansas crop is as follows
 Many reports from southern ana central portions of the state indicate that the crop has deteriorated since June, chiefly on account of boil weevi damage, which is rather extensive ir these sections. The crop average: about with last years at the core spending time. Some complaint O. worms. Weather for 30 days mostly favorable, but rains excessive in many sections of the south. Somewhat tot dry east and north. General con,li tion of crop not far from 10-year av craze.

 It will be noticed that the number of bacteria per cubic centimeter is exactly the same as in the previous sample. Other indications, however, are better The total solids was only one-half as great. The organic mat ter had dropped from 3.4 to 2.3. The drop in the chlorine from 50 to II is evidence of the return to Cadron water
 Appreciable amounts of gas were obtained in only two out of five sam- ples. These were not tested for bac illum coli, since even the raw water a few days previous had been free of it.
 It is understood that the water as analysed would not of necessity have to have more chlorine added but 1t is my opinion that enough chlorine should be fed in until all the gas producers are killed out and the total number reduced to or 10 per cent.
 Respectfully submitted,
 M. J. McHenry,
 City Chemist.

M'HFNRY REPORTS
 WAFER IMPROVED
FILTER WAS 0YERTAXED
Mud From Arkansas River During Recent High Stages Puts Filtra-
 tion System to the Bad.

The quality of city water, although still not all that could be desired, is | improving, according to a report
 made after an analysis Friday by
 City Chemist M. J. McHenry, and since gas was found in only two out of five samples and the raw water was found free from bacillum coli only a few days before, he consid- cred it unnecessary to make tests for this bacillum.
 Presence of muddy water in the mains for the past several days was due to overtaxing the filtration sys- tenn during the recent high stages of the Arkansas river, according to Supt E. V. Leverett The alkali and mud of the river water so encrusted the sand in the filter that the raw water, instead of percolating through the particles of sand gushed through in large streams, practically untilter ed. As the demand for water re- quires the operation of the pumps about 21 hours out of each 24, it left little time to clean the filter. With river water gradually passing out of Cadron creek at present, however, conditions are improving and the city water is expected to reach normal condition in the next day or two.
 A break in a main on Harkrider street near the Catholic church yes terday drained the reservoir and caused portions of the city to be without water for several hours. Opening and closing valves on ac- count of the break stirred up sedi- ment in the mains and caused the water to be very muddy for a while last night.
 Chemist McHenry's latest report follows:
 Conway, Ark, July 22, 1921. Supt. E. V. Leverett:
 1 have received letter from R. L. Turner as follows::
 Before adding more chlorine as you suggest 1 would be glad if you would analyze another sample from the discharge main entering reser voir The hose bib from which your sample was drawn at the pump sta tion is a few inches in the rear of entry of chlorine into main and I fear you did not get full strength sample of what we are using"
 Accordingly I arranged for the sample as suggested. The results follow:

fields than that of life insurance was
treated in a bill enlarging the powers

day. H corroborated other witnesses:
he testified that Hamon told him be-
fore his death that the defendant shot
him while he was reclining on the bed
in the millionaire's love flovel in the
Randol hotel.
wild Biz Mclean made repeated
efforts to shatter Ketch's story. but
did not succeed. George Hodges. as
sistant county prosecutor, sprang to
his feet and tried to disqualify Ketc1
as a witness as soon as Ketch took the
stand.
Hodges shouted: This man is an
accessory after the fact. Three wit
nesses have sworn that he gave the
defendant money and told her to get
cut of town after Hamon was shot
He was overruled by the court, an d
Ketch was permitted to tell his story.
