26-FT. .R|YfR STAGE
 FORECAST STANDS

No change was made by the Little Rock weather bureau today in a fore cast issued Tuesday that the Arkan- sas river would reach height of 26 feet, or three feet above flood stage, at Little Rock Saturday, and 26 feet
 at Dardanelle Friday.
 An encouraging sign that the crest will not exceed this figure, as was feared yesterday, was in the report that the river had begun falling at Fort Smith this morning. The stage at that city at ' o'clock a. m. today hours. The flood stage at Fort Smith is 9 feet
 At Dardanelle this morning the guage registered 25 feet, a rise of 2.2 feet. At Little Rock the stage at ' a. m. was 22.3 feet, rise of 1.5 feet. The weather bureau today again pre- dicted stage of 26 feet at Dardan- elle Friday, 26 feet at Little Rock Saturday and 29 feet at Pine Bluff Bluff Sunday.
 Thousands of acres of lowlands un- protected by levees in Faulkner coun- ty are already flooded today and the nearly four feet of additional water yet to come will overflow many more large areas. The Conway-Little Rock highway is blocked today by water over the road just across PaIarm creek in Pulaski county. Autoists passing this point late last night said the road was covered with nearly two feet of river water before midnight, Auto traffic between the two cities will have to be routed by way of Cato until the flood recedes at Palarm.
 If fall in The river to a normal stage is not delayed too long, the damage from the flood in this county will not be severe. as there will still be time to plant crops. Prospects of additional rain tonight and tomorrow. however, are discouraging to both up land and river farmers, as crop-plant- ing has not been so badly delayed in many years as it is this spring.

TRACK MEN READY
 FOR RAzORBACKS

Coach Jimmie Anderson is fast
 rounding his men into shape for the contest with the University of Arkan- sas, at Fayetteville, April 29. Last year the Razorbacks ventured from their secluded haunts among the mountains, and met the Bull Dogs on the cinder path, losing by the one sided score of 94 to 36. It is rumored that they are feeding themselves on the vain delusions of hope, seeking thereby to convince themselves that the promised solaee of revenge IS worth striving for. On the other hand the Bull Dogs are anXiously awaiting the opportunity of destroy ing the last vestige of this mistlc hallucination and to again bring home the Razorback "bacon."
 However the loss of such stars as Billy Mason, Bud Newton. Ebberts, Perry Herring and Lonnie Lipe will be keenly felt this year, Yet this is largely offset by the appearance of several good new men, who are show ing wonderful class on the track.
