TO LAUNCH SWEET
 POTATO INDUSTRY
OPERATIVE MARKETING
Movement Started Saturday and
 Rally Set for January 30 for Final Organization.

Cooperative marketing of sweet potatoes, to be grown in this county on an extensive scale, was favored 'by those attending the meeting in the Conway Commercial Club last Saturday, and call was made for a general meeting on January 30 when final plans will be perfected and as sociation formed. w. H. Laney of Little Rock, head of the state asso- citation and chief of the marketing service, will be here to address the rally.
 Saturdays meeting was one of the most enthusiastic farm rallies held here. Stimulated by the good rev. enue derived by other counties from the cultivation of sweet potatoes and cooperative marketing, those attend ing were highly favorable to making a profitable industry for this county. National markets for sweet potatoes for years past have uniformly pre- sented a demand in excess of the supply. Prices are consequently good. Estimating profits from all angles, the grower can realize good revenue even though the product dropped to 50 cents per bushel, as compared with it's present level around $50.
 One of the first objects of the county association when formed will be the erection of a sweet potato storage and curing house, where the product will be held until time to sell. The advantage to the growers will be that their potatoes are sold on the most favorable market. Sales will be on the commodity plan, the same as the cotton growers associa- tion in the south or the citrus grow CTS of California. State association rules also provide for penalty against members who market except through the designated agencies Contracts to be signed by members will be for period of five years
 Vilonia and Wooster communities had good sized delegations at Sat urday's meeting, and the acreage around there probably will be large Owners of the storage and curing houses already erected in this county will be asked to come into the new body and to market through it's chan nels.
 The time for the rally is 1:3O sharp, Monday, January 30, and the place, the rooms of the Conway Commercial Club. Attendance i'm plies no obligation to join. Mir. La ney's address will be fair and oper presentation of the subject.

DAMASCUS SCHOOL
 UP TO STANDARDS

Inspection of the Damascus pub lie school last Friday by E. B. Mat thews, head of the Smith Hughes work in Arkansas, with County Agent T. M. Williams and Supt. A. A. Parsons, Jr., disclosed that the school is fully up to the standards required before the government makes assignment of an instructor Tn agriculture and home economics, and department covering this work will be created as soon as Mir. Matthews has competent man available. Mir. Matthews put the proposition to the students and asked how many would enroll for courses in one of these subjects The response was 100 per cent.
 In one room alone, 23 boys en- rolled for instruction in agriculture as soon as the instructor is assign ed. The total number who volun- teered is over 100.
 At Martinville, Mir. Matthews found that the school has not enough students in attendance to meet Smith, Hughes requirements, and ap- proval there was temporarily defer red. The school has enough stu dents enrolled, but not enough in at tendance.
 School improvement associations at both places are doing first class 
 tally aiding the education movement The Damascus district is short of funds, and the school patrons have voluntarily contributed funds fol maintenance for an entire year. Ir this way, the revenue from the 12- mill levy will be allowed to catch ur are employed 72845 TAOI FFFWS with expenditures. Four teachers are employed there.

TELL HIM NOW.

If with pleasure you are viewing any work man is doing. If you like him or love him, tell him now; Don't withhold your appreciation till the parson makes oration, And he lies with snowy lilies Der his brow For no matter how you shout it, he won't really care about it; He won't know how many teardrops you have shed. If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny, And the hearty, warm approval of a friend For it gives to life savor, and it makes you stronger, braver, And gives you heart and spirit to the end. If he earns your praise, bestow it; if you like him, let him know it.; Let the words of true encouragement be said; Don't wait till life is over and he's under meath the clover, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.

SCHOOL PROMOTION DAY JANUARY 30
HINDERED BY CONGESTION
Lack of Room Forces Public School Pupils to Remain in Same Rooms, : Says Superintendent Womack.

Congested conditions at the Conway public school will not only prevent pupils from advancing to the next higher rooms at promotion time, next Monday, January 30, but the over crowding has in some instances caus- ed a whole grade to fall as much as two months behind and to require that length of time more than one year to do years work, according to a state ment issued today by Supt. R. E. Womack. Second grade pupils will be cut to halliday sessions for the same reason. Mir. Womack's statement fol- lows:
 "Since Monday, January 30, marks the half way point in the present school year, it will doubtless be wei! to make to the patrons a few state ments concerning our work. In most of the grades this will be promotion time. In others, which began their work in September, the pupils will continue their work until June. In those grades in which the class has not finished all the requirements for the grade, the pupils will continue the work of that grade until they have covered all the ground that IS required in that grade. For example, the B seventh still has about two months work in some studies and will not be called eighth grade until that work is done. This section, because of crowded conditions, has slipped furth CT and further behind until it is go- ing to take considerably more than a year for it to do years work. The same thing is true in some other grades.
 "For the simple reason that there is no room above to which children can be moved when they are promoted, pu- pills will in most cases remain in the same rooms and under the same teach CTS they now have. There are two or three exceptions to this rule. In order to make room for a class of beginners, both of Mrs. Traylor's B sections will be moved to Miss Ford's room. In turn Miss Ford will send a group to Miss Jones' room. Since these grades are already full, it will be necessary to have all second grade pupils, as we'll as the first grade come only half of each day The sec tion in Miss Jones' room which is ready to take up third grade work will continue to attend all day.
 No beginners will be admitted CT January 30 who will be six years olt after March 1. Only the week ot January 30 to February will be giv en for entering these beginners. Mos | parents will find it better to let theil

children wait until September, thus permitting, them to gain in age and maturity, besides protecting them from the bad winter weather while they are small Many of the present first grade class will have to remain h first grade year and half because parents insisted on sending them to school too young.
 "One word about books. It may seem to many parents that new read CTS are called for too frequently. It is not possible to teach Q child all the words in each reader before he takes up another, for the reason that the stories all lose most of their interest after he has once read them or heard them read. That is the reason we rarely have pupils read book through more than once. If interest is dead, the pupil does not learn Parents can very materially reduce their book bill by requiring their children to keep their books clean. Good second hani books are always in demand A read CT that costs 75 cents can easily be sold to classmate for 50 cents, pro vided it is in good condition.
 Hereafter all pupils desiring to enter school must present satisfactory evidence of having been vaccinated before they can enter. Parents will save themselves trouble by not send ing pupils until this has been attend ed to-"

LyCfUM MAN WILL
 TALK ON BUSINESS

A lecture which is said to have an especial interest to business men, including salesforces, will be deliv- cred by Harry l.. Fogleman of Chi cago, under the auspices of the con- bined lyceum course at Central Col lege auditorium tonight. The lecture will begin promptly at 8 o'clock, as the speaker plans to leave Conway on the 9:30 train.
 In many sities where the nature of MT. Fogleman's lecture was known in advance business firms have purchased admission tickets for their entire salesforces and in other cities they have regretted after hear ing him that they did not do so. Of numerous newspapers stories of his addresses, characteristic clipping from the Daily Press of Riverside, Calf, where he spoke on January 12, says in part: "He said the sci ence of business is the science of ser vice, and in veritable shower of forceful sentences he developed the fact that service is the foundation of all business success. He had a lot to say, too, about salesmanship, cour- tesy, politeness, kindness, which he declared stand for a greater success in business. Honesty, sincerity loyalty and justice should be built into the foundation stones of every business" he declared. He illus trated his contentious with stories cleverly told to the point, as vel as by chalk talks on the blackboard. ,
 MT. Fogleman's subject will be "The Winning Man in Business. Admission will be free to season ticket holders and to others, T cents for adults and 40 cents fol children under 12.

Steinmetz and Ajax.

a~HARLES P. STEINMETZ, the wizard of
Y Schenectady is that rare and engaging type
of scientist capable of thinking in super-technical
and speaking in the tongue OF everyday. This
arises from the fact that he possesses vast trove
of perfectly ordered knowledge in combination with
highly developed imagination And he is as dis
tnguished a laboratory performer speculative
thinker.
The value of Steinmetzs gifts in the direction
of translating involved theory into analytic COM
prehensibility and into practical results becomes
highly apparent when he is compared to a man like
Einstein Piqued by the announcements that Elm
stein has shown that space has boundaries and dis
covered flaws in the law OF gravity, the public mind
was prepared to discover in his works and words
tangible demonstrations OF his findings that would
give rise to new popular concepts. Now we know
what a sad picture is man trying to understand
or explain Einstein's conclusions. Hope OF being
the thirteenth in that luminous group said to grasp
the distinguished foreigners meaning has virtually
been abandoned.
Steinmetz latest exploit is to toy with lightning,
lightning of his own creation, and then issue bull
discrediting the dread force potential source OF
electrical power. He rigs up series OF condensers
in his great work room and a miniature thunder
storm ensues, bolts cracking through the air and
ripping heavy timbers to pieces. WELDING the
power of love, but more resembling Vulcan in per-
est force knownto leaps at his bidding like a
slave. ~
A good many centuries ago. an unauthentic
Grecan warrior constituted himself the hero OF the
hour by defying the lightning. This was rather
puerile performance he stood not one chance in
1,oooooo of being struck and learned nothing about
the phenomenon. How differently the trained mind
proceeds When a bolt played havoc with his
summer camp two years ago, Steinmetz did not
shake his fist at the tempest and challenge the de-
stroyer to come and try it again" He straight
way commenced studying the problem and SO sue
cessfu was he in probing the storm gods secrets
that he can now produce a miniature display any
time the spirit moves him. He is said to hope that
lightning arresters be devised in future that will
make Zeus' fabled weapon as passe as the rule Of
Olympus himself
