I UNIVERSITY SCHOLAR
SHIPS OFFERED
Hy the Arkansas Federation
of Women's Clubs.
The Arkansas Federation of
Women's Clubs offers two
Scholarships in the University
of Arkansas, one for young men
and one for young women, for
the purpose of making the Uni
versity better known and appre
ciated throughout the State
and to give the young men and
women from small places the
advantages of the State Univer
sity.
The Scholarships are good for
one year only, the Freshman
Class of the University. The
first pays $145 and the second
$140. One of these will be I
awarded to the young man mak
ing the highest grade in a com
petitive examination, and the
other to the young woman mak
ing the highest grade. Of these
two, the one making the higher
grade will receive $145 and the
other, $140. It is estimated
that the amount of the Scholar
ship will pay most of the hold
er’s actual expenses during the
academic .year at the Univer
sity.
Applicants for Scholarships
must be under twenty years of
age and must have resided in
the state two years prior to tak
ing examination.
The questions for the compet
itive examination will be sent by
the examining board of the Uni
versity to the county examiner
of each county, and he will hold
the examination on June 19-20
in connection with the regular
June examination for teacher’s
license. Each applicant will be
expected to pay a fee of one dol
lar to the examiner. The pa
pers will be sent to the examin
ing board of the University,
who will grade the papers and
award the Scholarships.
The Scholarships were award
ed:
1908- 9 Maurice Williams and
Sallie Pope.
1909- 10 Harvey O’Neal and
Minnie Dillard.
1910- 11 Robert Thornton and
Ruth Wilson.

Wants Chalmers Button Factory
Pocahontas, May 25.—The
business men of Pocahontas are
after another business interest
for the town. The propositior
now is the location of a buttoi
factory. Members of a company
of this kind operating at Blacl
Rock have given out informa
tion that they are considerinj
Pocahontas as a desirable locr
tion for a plant of this kind
The matter is now under consid
eration by the Commercial Clu’
The usual inducements will b
thrown open to these people fo
a factory of this kind. Poca
hontas is centrally located fo'
an industry of this character. P
great industry in the pearlinf
business is carried on above Po
cahontas and within a short dis
tance of the town.
There are at this time abou'
200 pearlers above and near Po
cahontas and the amount o
shells dug up by a crew of thi
number would amount to abou
40,000 pounds per month.
