COLE ASKS SLICE
 TAKEN OFF SALARY

Mayor w. D. Cole has made an out of the ordinary request of the city council, and it has complied with it. Compliance of the council sliced $50 from the mayors salary as mayor and left him with $25 per month in- stead of $75.
 The move was taken for the pro- tection of the city in the future, May or Cole stated. Any of his success sors in the office who devote their full time to the discharge of duties devolving upon them will earn the salary if left at the higher figure. However, should the office be held by a citizen who devotes only part of his time to his duties, salary of $75 would be too high, Mayor Cole said With this in mind, he request ed that the council make the decrease.
 Mayor Cole at present occupies the double office of mayor and street commissioner, which almost totally take up his time except what is given to the sales and luxury tax plan, to which he gives his services gratis as director. a.

MORE HIDES TANNED
 BY COUNTY FARMERS

The impression that Faulkner farmers are still growers of cotton and little else, partially left by the disclosure last week that eight car loads of feed were shipped here from outside points during weeks time, is not altogether borne out by the facts. A considerable number are making every effort to bring their farms and families to a point where they will sustain themselves. This is being carried to the tanning of leather.
 According to the manager of a local drug firm, more preparations for the tanning of hides are being sold this year than ever before At all times, the demand for the preparation has been brisk, but the present winter and spring has passed all bounds.

COUPLE SHOTS AID
 BLACKS IN SPRINT

Except for one of their number. whose clothing caught on barbed wire, hlne negroes, surprised late yesterday by Police Officer Walter Henry at the old fair grounds would have ex- ecuted successful strategic retreat With marvellous speed. As it was, all nine showed ability as sprinters. John Lee was the negro to get hook ed on the barbed wire.
 Officer Henry took a stroll around the grounds on the chance of locating some crap shooters. He flushed what looked like covey behind a favoring screen. AS the nine got under way and increased their speed, he fired once and it was then that Lee was hooked on the wire The eight saw their comrade in trouble, but kept running. Another shot convinced them that Lee had been killed and their already terrific speed became nothing short of marvellous. They were seen passing the residence of A. A. Halter, with increasing rather than diminishing speed.
 Lee received nothing more than a thorough scare for his part in the escapade. No dice or money was found at the place vacated so hastily by the sprinters.

URGES PROTECTION OF
 NATURALsSHADE TREES
Lover of Nature" Says Beautiful Growth of Trees in Conway is
 Not Fully Appreciated.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Conway has long been noted for it's beautiful natural growth of shade trees and especially for it's magnifi- cent live oaks. Almost all of our residential lots have some of these beautiful monarchs of nature that have been growing for century or more. They line our streets and fur nish beautiful natural settings for our homes. We are so blessed with shade trees that we fail to appreciate them properly, and some of us have grown reckless with ax and saw, thoughtless- ly destroying in a day that which toog a hundred years to grow.
 Oh, if we could live in one little Ok lahoma town that know. through the month of Augusta little town set out in the open, not shade tree for miles, just blistering sun, made bearable only by their fine breeze. Just to see how those people water, nurse and coddle the little saplings. brought from a distance, trying so hard to get just shade trees to grow would make us appreciate more what has been so lavishly bestowed on us. 1 heard a lady from Oklahoma say, q would gladly give two hundred dollars for one of those live oaks if l could just move it to my home and have it grow there as it does in Conway"
 There may be case once in a great while when we are justified in cutting beautiful shade tree, but we should consider it from every standpoint, de- bate the matter pro and con and be very slow to raise the ax against these beauties around us. And even worse than cutting outright is the vicious practice of topping, cutting and whacking up beautiful work of na- tre; making it poor, ugly, maimed, useless thing that cries out to the passer-by: Look at us. God made us beautiful and useful but man has brought shame and ruin on us for ever more." Never, never trim an oak tree. The natural growth is far more beautiful than it can ever be after it has been recklessly trim med up." Man can build wonderful bridges, magnificent churches and beautiful homes but only God can make a tree. Spare the trees.
 A Lover of Nature.
