BUILD WITH BIRDS MOVE STARTED HERE
House Shortage and High Rents
 Slated for Change

Build with the birds" is the sloga n men who plan 10 start a building movement in this city this spring A lively activity in building operations is shown by the interest being taken locally for more and better homes.
 Below Normal
 For the past several years building has been below normal, the popula- tion of the city has increased by a large number of families and the list of desirable and available homes has decreased materially as a result. Be- cause of this condition people were forced to move into anything that boasted of four walls and q roof. Rents went sky high because of the scarcity.
 Prices Come Down
 Now there is plenty of labor avail able at reasonable prices, prices of all sorts of commodities have come down and are coming down, there is an in dication of a drop in taxes and the banks are beginning to give little more encouragement to prospective builders. This. with the added stimulus of the Build with the birds" campaign, is expected to give this town a building boom it has never seen in years.
 General Campaign
 The Build with the birds cam paign in New Britain is simply a part of general campaign for more and better homes all over the country, with a view to relieving the house shortage.

PENNSYLVANIA INDEPENDENTS IN REVOLT AGAINST REPUB-
 LICAN CORRUPTION

That the revolt of the real inde- pendent and progressive Republicans of Pennsylvania against the reaction ary element of their party which is seeking to perpetuate Penroseism in the nomination of a reactionary gov ernor and candidates for the United States Senate, is d genuine revolt, is shown by letter written by Henry C. Niles of York, Pa, prominent law yer who has long been prominent in political movement for the better ment of his party, refusing to support even such a well-knOwn progressive as Clifford Pinchot for the gubernatorial nomina tion. Recognizing the qualities of Mir -Pinchot, MT. Niles said:
 '"rhe election of John A. McSpara- gan, the Democratic candidate, by the votes of the independents and the progressiyes would do more for gen. uine and thorough reform than would be possible through any governor elected as a Republican. There is nothing good which could be accom- plished by Mir. Pinchot which would not be done more certainly and more effectively by Governor McSparran."
 Continuing MT. Niles wrote: Il thoroughly sympathize with your brave battle for decent politics, but in my view reform of the Republican party from within is impossible. The nomination of such man as MT. Pin chot would only be a palliative. He would be the candidate of the Repub- lican party, which, as now controlled in Pennsylvania, has degenerated into nothing but an organization for sys- tematic political corruption

 Again want to ask you to pray for us, for two reasons: First, because these problems are great and are real second. because no man can be at the head of million-dollar concern, that looks as if it is going to do four or five million dollars worth of business this year, without needing the prayers of Gods people that he may use him self in the interests of humanity

METHODIST GENERAL CONFER ENCE TO MEET IN HOT
 SPRINGS

The General Conference Of the Methodist church will meet in Hot Springs next Wednesday, May 3. will be an event of unusual interest anu importance not only to the MethodlstS of Arkansas but to our whole state. This distinguished body meets only once in four years. It is composed of delegates who have been elected by the various Annual Conferences throughout the church. The actual membership of the body is about four hundred. of whom half are preachers and half are laymen. The come from every state in the South and West ana from many of the states in the North west, as well as from China, Japan, Brazil. Cuba, and Mexico. There will be two delegates in the body from siberia, Manchuria and two from Africa.
 The Conference is the only law mak- ing body of the Methodist church. It has the general supervision of the work of the whole church. such as missions. church extension, education. literature and all the various phases of the work of the church, Besides this body elects the Bishops, when ,ev ones are needed, reviews the work of the Bishops for the quadrenhlum and maps out the general lines oi policv which they are to follow ln carving on the work of the church.
 The body will be in session some three weeks. The sessions will be heid in the city auditorium as no church Tn the city is large enough to accommo- date the body and the yisltos who attend The number of visitors usually goes much beyond the actual delegates to the conference.
 For the first time in the history or the conference the entire deiegatioii will be housed under one roof me Committee of Arrangements have pro vided rooming accommodations for all in the Eastman Hotel. They will eat where they choose as there is pracu- cally no limit to eating accommoda- tons in the city.
 This will be the first time the Gen eral Conference has ever met ill Ar kansas. and the third time it has met West of the Mississippi river, except in St Louis. Perhaps no other body has eyer assembled in our state which will give the state so much favourable advertising as will be given by this conference
 A daily paper will be published by the church in which the full proceed ings of the Conference will be steno- graphically reported and an army or reporters will report the proceedings to the great metropolitan dailies of the country. The Southern Methodist church is the third largest protestant body in the United States and great host of people are interested in the
 daily proceedings of this their highest
 legislative and administrative body.

REVIEW OF THE SUNDAY
 SCHOOL CHAUTAUQUA
(By C. C. Calhoun ]

The application of the cha autauqua idea which came to us rather suddenly and unexpectedly five years ago. If there is another Sunday school in America that has adopted this plan for the promotion of religious educa ton, we do not know of it.
 The first Sunday School Chauta uaua held during the month of April, 1918. was a success beyond our most san guine hopes Judge J. S Steel of Ash down. Hon. k. W. Huie of Arkadel. phia. Judge W. l.. Estes of Texarkana and Hon. " NJ Ebel of Hot Springs were the speakers for this series and they set up a very high standard for the Chautauqua The choir furnished special music which added very much to the success of the venture.
 The people understood the plan thoroughly by the time the second an nual chautauqua began in April, 1919, and packed houses greeted each num- ber The speakers for this series were Captain W. B. Hogg of Little Rock, Judge w F.. Estes of TeXarkana, Judge J. L. Wadley of Texarkana, and Hon. Tillman B. Parks of Hope. Each of these speakers maintained the high standard previously set and the in terest in the Sunday School Chautau- qua grew and grew. The local choir with the assistance of other singers of the town, gave a fifth number of the Chautauqua, about which we con fess our inability to do justice. It was an Easter Cantata entitled "Redemp- tions Song" The house was packed and every one was delighted with lis musical treat.
 By the time the third annual chau- tauaua started the interest was in- tense and we had no trouble. in filling the church to it's capacity. The speak CTS for this series were Captain Hogg,  Prof. Ury Mckenzie of Texarkana, Hon. J. S. Utley, now Attorney Gen eral of Arkansas, and Governor Brough. The choir repeated with a cantata on Easter night that surpass- ed their previous effort, if such a thing was possible This was April, 1920. sa-
 For the fourth annual chautauqua we had five numbers as follows: Dr. T. R. Jewell of Fayetteville, in very highly entertaining lecture entitled, The Southern Mountaineer," musi- cal number by Miss Lula Beth Gee, Mis- Mary Alice Shinn and Miss Pearl Miller from Henderson-Brown Col lege, which drew packed house; Rev. w B. Hogg, of Little Rock, Arkansas, with his great lecture "The Fools Paradise :" Hon. H. T. Harrison of | Little Rock, in high class address which he called Swat the Pessimist.' This was April, 1921.
 For the fifth annual Sunday School Chautauqua we were able to secure a series of entertainments of the highest order in spite of the fact that it seems to get more difficult to secure 1 speakers and entertainers who can meet the demands occasioned by the fact that the Sunday School Chautau- qua has been pitched upon very high plane. Only three numbers were had, as follows: Rev. W. B. Hogg, Gov. Thos. C. McRae, and a sacred concert by the local choir under the direction of Mrs J. Elmore Began. This was April, 1922.
 The reason that we only had three numbers this year is that the Vaughan Male Quartet of Lawrenceburg, Tenn. could not meet their engagement

ACME WHEAT is SUBJECT
OF BULLETIN JUST OUT

High yielding quality. resistance
of stem and leaf rust, ability to
withstand drouth and early ma
turity are some Of the qualities to
commend Acme wheat. S. ID. No.
2S4, to South Dakota farmers, ac-
cording to Bulletin No. 1874, Acme
Wheat, by Manley Champlin. and
Edgar McFadden, now being dis
tributed by the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station.
These are the qualities of funda-
mental importance in spite of the
fact that the data put down in the
bulletin Classics Acme slightly
below some other durum wheats in
milling quality, accoding to agro-
nomists at the college.
The subject Of Acme wheat is
one which has attracted consider
able attention recently, both from
the standpoint of the producer
and the consumer, and the demand
for this bulletin will probably be
great.
Acme, S. d. 2S4. is a selection
from Kukanka, S. D. Is, which was
developed at Highmore substation
The selection proved superior in
yield to the parent variety to tests
and at the close Of 1915 was given
the name Acme to distinguish il
from the parent, Kukanka.

HWAUKEE MAY BUILD
INTO CHERRY CREEK
Railroad Company keenly Inter-
estcd in Development of
Prospective Oil Field
, 1Mo.c nm car,o:ns.-2eos

The development work now go
ing on at Cherry Greek prospect
i've oil field Is attracting attention
from people all over the country,
and especially so from people con-
nected with the big interests. 1t
has been reliably reported to US
that the Milwaukee railroad com
pany expects to run preliminary
survey to Cherry Creek as soon as
it is possible in the spring to do
so, it being reported that the rail
road company will build line to
that place at once in case oil and
gas production was brought in.
For some time it has been known
that the company expected to ell
ectrify all their lines, and accord
ing to our informant, the com
pany would build a large plant,
in case Of large gas production,
using the gas for fuel to generate
large volume Of electricity for
power Tor their lines.
This is no idle dream of an over
enthusiastic booster Of the enter
prise, but comes from a man high
up in the councils of the manage
ment of the railroad company
and when it is also taken into con
sideration that the Standard Oil
Company interests are largely in
control of the Milwaukee stock, it
only seems plausible that this line
would be the first to enter a field
which promises great production.
There are number Of reasons
why the prospective Cherry Creek
