Three Blsck Birds.

Many people are unable to tell the
difference between a rock, a crow and
a jackdaw The rock, when a year old.
has a bare face, and it's plumage is
shiny black; the hooded crow is ashen
gray, with black head while the car
rion, though the same size as the rock.
has a steel-b,~e simmer on its plum
age, and its wings are by no means as
long as those of the rock. The jack
daw can be distinguished easily from
any of the other three, first because it
is smaller-being only about fourteen
inches loug-and, secondly, because 1t
has purpl'sh plumage and a gray neck.

Proportionate GETTING.

Once upon time, according to
Harry Emerson Fosdick, who is cred
tied with the story, a minister and his
little son walked across the fields on
q summer afternoon, TO a little church
where the minister, visitor, was 10
preach. At the door was box for
offerings, in which the visiting minis
ter, as he arrived, placed 80 cents. The
regular minister and the congregation
arrived shortly after, and the service
proceeded. After it, the minister of
the church said to his visitor "Now, l
want you to have whatever offerings
there are in the box. l don't know
how much there may be- The box
was opened; 80 cents was discovered,
and gravely turned over to the Wis
itor. Silence on the walk home across
the fields, until the small son re-
marked: We'll, Dad, if you had put
more in you would have got more out"

BANKS DEPOSITS CONTINUE 10 GAIN

Although there is normally a de- cline in deposits in banks in this state for the first of the year as pro- ceeds of the preceding crop are be- ing spent, the three banks of Con- way, according to their statements published in the Log Cabin Demo crat today as of March 10, carried S30,408.01 larger deposits than on the date of the last preceding call, De- cember 31, 1921. The combined de- posits of the local institutions on March 10 was $1 ,534, ,96765, against Sl l,504, ,559.64 on December 31.
 The deposits on this call show an increase of nearly a quarter million dollars over those of the nearest com parable date last year, the call of February 21, 1921. The total local bank deposits on that date were $1,- 296,410.59.
 Considering the unusually large amount of cotton being carried here, the bills payable of the Conway in- stitutions are very small. Each of them has cash on hand in excess of reserve requirements and all are shown by the statements to be in excellent condition.

SABBATH SESSION
 BY MAYORS COURT
METfS OUT $500 fINE
On E. H. Huff and Sentenced Earl Craig to 90-Day- -Term-Bean and
 Harrison Jailed.

Mayor w. D. Cole, whose fine of Sl,000 against Homer Hendrickson, set a precedent in municipal court here, set another precedent Sunday afternoon when he presided over his court long enough to fine E. II. Huff $500 and sentence Earl Craig to 90 days in jail on charges of transport ing liquor Justice G. M. Easterwood also let the wheels of justice whrl around Sunday afternoon for the space of time required to set bonds for Henry Bean and Carl Harrison at $500 after they had been arrested by Sheriff W. M. Brady, Deputy J. l. Summers and City Police Officer Wal ter Henry for having a whiskey mak- ing outfit in their possession. Har- rison and Craig defaulted bond and were lodged in jail for preliminary arraignment Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
 The still and outfit captured at Harrison's place about four miles east of Conway on the Middle road 1 was to appearances set for long run. On hand was 100 gallons of 'mash," and already two alf-gallon fruit jars of corn whiskey was made. The officers took the entire outfit into possession and arrested it's two alleged operators. The charge against them is having whiskey still, worm and mash in their possession.
 Huff was fined $25 and costs in February for gambling as the out. come of suit filed by him and Mrs Huff in circuit court to recover money alleged taken from them by Oscar Dickens after Huff had been brought under the influence of whiskey and engaged in 'craps" game by Dickens. The arrest of all three was ordered and Dickens fined $500 for transport ing whiskey, and Huff S25 for gam- ing. Huff and Craig were arrested 1 by the officers after their return fro mthe Harrison place.
 Bean is a son of Will Bean, who assisted Smoky" Smith in the cap ture of Tom Johnson near Barney. Both he and Harrison were unable to make the bonds fixed by Judge East erwood and are in jail.
 A tip was given the officers early in the afternoon that Huff and Craig, who is a negro, were going to the Harrison place for whiskey. They watched the pair and followed them i out of Conway. Near the city limits, i Huff halted his car and the officers overlook him. He said he was out of gasoline. At this time, the officers did not think that Huff and Craig then had any liquor. Police Officer Henry, however, decided to search the car for safety's sake and his exami- nation brought forth one quart of corn whiskey. Huff then admitted their destination. Huff and Craig were returned to town and arraigned- before Mayor Cole. The officers fol- lowed their first tip, reinforced by Huffs confession, and went to the Harrison place. Harrison and Bean were apprehended and taken before Judge Easterwood.
