CITY FOLKS PREFER
 WILD WEST READING
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, April 7.-The lonely cow puncher or sheep-herder reading a thumb marked novel of metropolitan society life beside his camp fire on the western plains might exchange jobs with a clerk in the Chicago postoffice to their mutual satisfac- tion, according to the librarian at the postoffice swing room," recreation center of the clerks off duty.
 Seven hundred of the 1000 post office employees in Chicago are regu- lar patrons of the public library branch maintained at the postoffice. Their favorite fiction includes the books of Jack London, James Oliver Curwood and other authors of wild west, far north and sea stories. "They want action stuff" the librar- ian says. And the girls like the love stores."
 Next to the red-blooded fiction, the strongest demand is for text books on wide variety of subjects. Hundreds of the younger extra clerks are stu dents in various schools and colleges in Chicago, working in the postoffice to pay their way through school. Be tween shifts they do their studying

CLINTON HAS HOPE
 OF BUILDING ROAD
COURT DECREE FAVORABLE
To Completion of Clinton to Dam- ascus Highway, of Great Value
 to Faulkner District.

Better prospects of completing the Clinton and Damascus road, an i'm. portant link in the state primary highway from Conway north, resulted from the decree of chancery court yesterday at Clinton, dismissing the suit brought by interested tax payers against the district commissioners Although the court allowed the suits against the district itself and against the St. Louis Trust Company, holder of the bonds, the decree will have much to do with clearing away legal entanglements obstructing the work of the district.
 Immediately after the return of the decree, the commissioners pre- sented their resigantions and request ed the county judge to appoint sue cessors. This, it is thought, will be done and construction be resumed J. S. MeMahan is chancellor of the court which returned the decree.
 The road proposed by the district will connect at Damascus with the Conway and Damascus highway, and it's completion is very much desired here. At the time construction was interrupted by the litigation, practi cally all of the dump" had beer completed and materials were on hand for the bridge work In view of the fact road building has been done in gaps, work done thus fa1 would be of no value to the county If left in. an incompleted state.
 Officials of the court and interest ed attorneys were in Conway this morning. They regard the chancery decree as a step toward ending the litigation, which was inspired largely It was said, by opposition to payment of the road benefits. The route se- lected and other preliminaries to ac- tual construction are acceptable tc the citizenship as whole, according to reports. Litigation against the district has had a devious course, but has now reached point where a sat isfactory adjustment may be ex- pected within reasonable length of time.
 Completion of the Damascus and Clinton highway will greatly increase the value of the Faulkner road to that point, and will facilitate the com paratively heavy traffic in that direc- tion.

STEALS WATCH; IS SENT
 TO PEN IN SIX HOURS

Morrilton, April Within less than two hours after the regular March term of Conway county circuit court had adjourned here Wednesday afternoon, Circuit Judge A. B. Prid- dy was oyertaken while about eight miles from Morrilton on his way home, a jury was summoned and Rufus Gayler of Hattieville. who was caught stealing a watch about II o'clock Wednesday morning, was ar rested, brought to Niorrilton, tried and sentenced to the renitentiary for one year. This was six hours after the crime was committed.
 The watch stolen by Gayler was valued at $25 and was taken from the store of Beavers < Beeson at Hattieville. Entering the store, when he believed he was unobserved, he walked behind one of the showcases obtained the watch and was about to leave the building when he was observed by Oscar Beeson, one of the proprietors, who was at work in the rear of the building.
 Immediately Mir. Beeson walked to the front of the store, and discover ing the theft. followed Gayer. Asked to return the watch Gayler denied having it in his possession. Mr. Bee son at once began a search through his clothing. Then the watch was found concealed in Gavler's hand

TIGERS AGAIN BOW
 TO WHITES SKILL
WILLIAMS SLAMS HOMER
Greenbrier Boy and "Bill' are Hen drix Stars in Triumph Over
 Ouachita Players.

Even Ouachita will admit it now.
 "Bill' White when his slants are going straight down the groove and Royce Williams, when his batting eye has located the old pill, are sure spreaders of gloom in the opposition camp out to win a baseball game If
 but if Columbus had not discovered America, as Grantland Rice says there would have been no ball game. "Bill' was there for the full nine in- nlngs yesterday afternoon against the Ouachita Tigers here for their 1922 appearance on Russell field, Williams was there all nine innings and more especially in the two which rolled up markers from his scream ing single and his heart breaking (for Ouachita) home run. The score was 2 to 1.
 "Bill' first attracted the notice of the naughty Tigers in 1920, largely through the medium of a no-hit game, pitched at Philadelphia. Last year he was out of the running with an attack of typhoid fever and there was some speculation as to his mas tery of the Ouachita crew. He did not register a no-hit game yesterday. but Ouachita would have felt the better if he had. To garner ten singles off a man and make them count for only one score is sting of the same strength.
 But back to Royce Williams. His clean single in the first sent Leming home with the first marker. Schisler had opened this inning with neat single, followed by a pass to Leming Burton tapped an infield roller upon which Schisler was retired at third but Royce came through with clean slam, Leming coming home.
 Ouachita's lone marker came in the second and was registered by Mont gomery, taking advantage of col lision between Williams and Leming both going after Gunn's easy fly Williams more than atoned for his share of the mishap by finding Camp bell for homer to open the sixth.
 White whiffed 12 of the Tigers and kept their hits fairly well scat tered Not one of them was for extra customs. Sensational fielding backed his efforts, a double play rescuing him at one time. Garner pulled a catch once to relieve bad 
 The final of the series will be play ed this afternoon. Coach Dale Jones may send Melton, his southpaw, to the mound.

 Conway with it's beautiful setting of natural shade trees, could be made the prettiest town in the whole state
 We as citizens have been entrusted with three very important colleges and it is our sacred duty to the young manhood and womanhood they bring to us each year, to ourselves and our children, as well, to make our little city the cleanest, best-kept and prettiest in the state. After our general cleanup this week, let's get busy and begin making Conway the ideal town.
 First, let's take real good look at our premises and try to see them as others do. l want to plead with oul people to tear down some of the old no account shacks about our homes, such as old unused barns, hen houses wood sheds and old high board fences. We could do without lots of these old shacks just as well as not and how much better our town would look. If you don't know what mean just drive or walk around over town and observe these old outbuildings. many of them not in use at all, stand ing out in bold relief, in plain view of the passer-by, running the looks of our homes, and detracting much from the general appearance of oul town.
 If you feel that you just can't dc without that old wood shed or high board fence, why, here is a place tc begin today to hide it with vines shrubs and flowers, and make it beauty spot instead of an eyesore One of the best vines for this use is the common honeysuckle, as it re- mains green all winter, is easy to secure and at no cost. Some may object to it because of spreading but this can be easily controlled by occasionally uprooting the runners There are many other vines to choose from. l only mention this one be- cause it is my choice for screening unsightly objects. After your vines are planted, group some shrubs. hardy plants, such as iris, jonquils and violets in front, setting the tallest back next to the vines, graduating them down to the low dwarf plants set in front.
 Remember it doesn't always take money to beautify your home, just intelligent interest, and a love fo1 the beautiful. There are many shrubs and plants in the woods. such as the common elder-berry, buckeye, marsh mallow, trumpet vine and many others, just to be had for the taking. that would help to make our places more beautiful.

ADVERTISE WHEN BUSINESS IS BAD:
(By John Buford Brock.

(By John Buford Brock.)
1t is sad, butnevertheless true,
that when business begins to get
bad there are 80 many organiza-
tions that think the first thing
for them to do is to stop their adj
vertising.
Much like a terrapin, when he
sees danger approaching, pulls
his head into his shell and stimu.
lates death in order that no one
may molest him and the danger
may be avoided. Rain or food
will not avail in opening up that
shell. He will stay inside there
until the warm sun on his back
informs him that all is fair out.
side and thst there is little dan
ger of his losing head by look
ing around for something to eat.
On the other hand there are
many men who have found that
their business was stimulated
and progressive when business
with the neighbor was very poor.
There are the men who adver-
tise to the public to BUY NOW.
There are certain necessities of
life that cannot be dissensed with
and is one sure bet that out of
several business houses having
commodities for which there is a
demand, the one who advertises
his goods regularly and system
atically will draw trade from the
houses who have neglected to
keep the trade informed that
they were still in business.
| Advertise to remind your eli
ents tat you are still in business,
even if you do not want to adver'
tise for more business. The old
customers will wander into the
advertised path. And why shout
dn't they?
You or l are customers of each
other. We are looking for places
to trade, and the places for ira
ding is done by otherpeople. This
fact is one grand advertisement,
for the busy store. Unless the
new or small place advertises tht
advantage in trading elsewher'
it IS only reasonable to assume
that he is not going to get mucl
of the trade.
If the smaller places advertise
as many of them do continuousl.
and regularly remind their Gus
toners of the service the sav
ings and the pleasantness recei
we'd there, and the other place
do not advertise, it is shown ey
cry day that trade shifts to tn
advertised places.
