Manager Wimberly Tells of Com pany's Offering of Seven Per
 Cent Security.

The Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, through it slocal manager, Ma. Wimberly has announced the sale of a new issue of it's per cent Cumu~ lative Preferred Stock.
 This security has become we'll known as good investment because Of it's safety and the good return or fered to the public and was oversub- scribed within a few weeks. Since then the stock has continually risen in public favor. The general down. ward tendency of interest rates should make the security even more popular now.

 This new issue should have special appeal to the people Of Ash down because it is home investment. Investors seem to appreciate very highly the opportunity to put thelr money in an investment which they can see working right before them in their homes and offices.
 Shares may be bought for $1OO cash and accrued dividend or on monthly installments of as low as S5 per share. Purchasers may be made at the Tele- phone Office or from any telephone employee.

DEMOCRACY AND DEDICATION

The Democratic State Convention at Hot Springs last week adopted a ring ing plank on the subject of education This is one of Governor McRae's hob bies and he is determined that every thing possible shall be done during his administration to put the schools upon a firm basis. The educational plank of the platform follows:
 We declare for better educational advantages. Arkansas is in the midst of an educational crisis. We com mend the able and progressive admin istration of the present superintend- ent of education, and advocate furth- CT aid to the Forward Education Movement, to the end that Arkansas may be lifted from it's low rank in education. We endorse the move of Governor McRae to have an honorary commission make a survey of educa tional conditions and pledge our party to an organized assistance of the pres ent nomineees for governor and sup erintendent of public instruction in their pleas for public support and leg islative enactment for the relief of our schools.
 We favor the transfer of all lands TOW owned or hereafter acquired by the state to the permanent school fund. We recommend that an ample number of well trained patriotic teachers, thoroughly imbued with American ideals and with a thorough knowledge of our institutions, be maintained in the public schools. In order that the boys and girls under their tutelage may become one hun dred per cent American and all idea of a hyphenated citizenship be aban- doned, necessary funds should be speedily provided to the end that the teaching force in the public schools may be we'll educated, well equipped and thoroughly qualified. We favor the adequate support consistent with the states resources of all of the states educational institutions to take care of their growing needs.
 Through the agricultural schools Opportunity is offered boys and girls for an education that peculiarly fits them for the duties of life. We rec ommend that the legislature investi- gate the needs of these schools and enact such measures as may be neces- sary to enable such schools to carry into effect the purpose for which ere ated, and to meet such contingencies as may be (necessary) caused by oy- ertaxing their capacities by the cree ton of additional buildings and the purchase when necessary of new equipment.

CHURCH PROPERTY &OD'S
Not subject to Seizure Under War
 Law. Daugherty Rules.

Washington, Sept. S.-Holding that in the final analysis title to church property is vested in Cod and that it would be sacrilegious to hold this an enemy interest, Attorney General Daugherty in formal opinion has ac. uuisced in the return of Thomas w. Miller, alien property custodian, of property seized from the Reformed church of Hungary in America.
 The property amounts to approXi- mately $20,000 in mortgages and cer- tificates of indebtedness to the moth CT church in Hungary, secured by church property here. The decision in this case will serve as a precedent in other church property seizures.

PICRIC ACID FOR FARMERS
Fifteen Carloads to Be Distributed Through Extension Service at Cost.

Little Rock, Sept. 1O.-The Agricul- tural Extension Service of the Univer- sity of Arkansas has been allotted 15 | carloads of picriC acid for distribution in Arkansas for agricultural purposes, such as stump blowing and drainage ditching, according to M. T. Payne, di- rector of the extension service. The explosive is from surplus war supplies of the government
 No profit is being made by the gov ernment The acid is put up in g. ounce cartridges and is cased in 1OO- pound boxes. The freight from Fort 1 Wingate, N. M., will amount to approx , imately cents pound in carload lots. This, added to the cents charg- ed for Car'ridging and distributing, makes a total of approximately 12 cents which the acid will cost Arkan- sas farmers.
 The explosive can be distributed by the extension service in cooperative carload lots only, since one man can not buy less than 100 or more than | 1000 pounds, and 19000 pounds of the acid is the minimum shipment. County agricultural agents will assist farm
 CTS in making up list of carload lots.
 All that is necessary is that the list
 be compiled and the money for acid
 deposited in a bank. The extension
 service will then forward the order. There are several points in favor of
 picric acid as an agricultural explo-
 sive, according to government special
 ists It is stronger than dynamite, one
 pound of picric acid doing as much
 work as a pound and one-fourth of
 dynamite. The headache caused by
 fumes from dynamite is not present
 when using.
 Several inquiries concerning the eX-
 plosive have been received by the ex-
 tension service Those who are seek l ing information are asked to get in
 touch with their county agricultural
 agent at once, or write to the exten-
 sion service at Little Rock. Wher-
 ever it is possible to dispose of a car
 load of the explosive the extension
 service probably will be able to send
 specialist to the community to dern-
 onstrate the use of the picric acid

 The resolution says that the comb'- nation of the carry-over and the e=ti- mated production for this year will not be sufficient to meet the world de- mand, and that quotations fail to re- spond to these conditions. It also is stated that cotton consumption both here and abroad has increased but that there has been no corresponding increase in revenue to the producer, a condition which, it is alleged, threatens to damage the industry seri- Cugly.

A WORD OF APPRECIATION

We wish to express our thanks to the school patrons for the loyal stand they are taking in keeping their children at home on school nights. We figure that 95 per cent of the par entS are with us. Some are eager enthusiastic for the movement. The other per cent should line up on this proposition both for the sake of their children and for the betterment of our school.
 We are not appealing to the par ents purely from a selfish standpoint. 1 The work and salaries of the teachers will continue though every pupil spent every evening out. We want you to feel that your children are actually making progress; that this $17 ,OOO annual expenditure of the tax payers hard earned money is wisely invested in making the future citizen- ship of our state.
 We have ever found a very large
  and true in every movement tending toward the educational upbuilding of the boys and girls. We do not expect you to fail us in this venture. We must work together to attain to the highest and best,
 All parents having children of so- ciety age will be given an opportunl- ty to sign this agreement. We shall publish the names of the signers after reasonable time elapses. A copy of the agreement will be found at MT. Russells store and at the Model Drug Store. Or call up the superintendent and copy will be sent to you.
 Yours for the very best service, and for the very best year in the history of the Ashdown school.

The author Of "The Piper" announces
in her preface that the play Is will

how 1t would appeal, II acted, Is rather
hard to conjecture. The general i'm
preston to be gained would probably be
much like that gained from reading

to that felt after passing a lazy summer
afternoon beneath gently waving trees,
or a quiet half. hour over teacups.
Mrs. Peabody is brave enough to in I.
troduce many historical characters, and
they act humanity, II not dramatically.
Her heroine is the interesting Mary

by any conceivable notion, be acted,

is. first of all, business man, pres

president and managing director OF 4
chain Of theatres. besides being the
builder and owner Of other theatres. He
is a lawyer by profession and physi-
ologist by choice. and. in connecuoh
with the latter hobby. has been actively
interested in medical research WORK.
The three plays included in this vol
ume show very definite knowledge or
the technical side Of play production.
They are the kind of dramas which
would need little blue -penciling. AS
matter of fact. two of them at least
have already been performed in Boston
theatres, presumably under the author 6
direction. ana nave also p'aseu 'o"N

The first play is entitled Annie Lau :
