FOR BETTER STATE FAIR
Arrangements Being Made For
Record-Breaking Event at
Mot Springs This Fall
Hot Springs, June 21.—After a
long delay waiting to see if the
legislature would render the state
aid expected, in assisting the peo
ple of the various counties in mak
ing creditable exhibits and paying
some of the expenses of getting
exhibits to and from the fair, only
to meet disappointment, the State
Fair Association has determined to
carry forward the work, and to ex
cel this year all former efforts.
The citizens of Hot Springs,with
that enterprise and pluck charac
teristic of them, have rallied to the
Association with a spirit of en
thusiasm and liberality never be
fore manifested. Notwithstand
ing the fact that the citizens of
Hot Kpnngs, in founding and
maintaining the State Fair for
the past six years, have put into it
$70,000 more than it has earned,
they feel that its beneficial effects
have already been so great and
that its objects and purposes mean
so much to the state at large, that
the idea of abandoning it on ac
count of a lack of legislative ap
preciation of its worth, could not
for a moment be entertained.
The work of projecting the Fair
is well under way. The state
press has responded to the move
ment with a co-operation and cor
diality that are inspiring, and from
every direction the interest is en
couraging. From tile Hood of in
quiries and applications for space
already coming in, the indications
arc that the Exposition this year
will be a record breaker, in point
of excellence and attendance. The
aim of the management is to get
closer to the agricultural interests
of the state t^ian ever before, spring
the aspirations of the farmers to
wards the production of the best
in their line, to exhibit the results
of their labor at the Fair, and thus
make it in reality, a great Expo
sition of the resources of Arkansas
and an educational agency along
the lines of the latest and best in
scientific farming and advanced
methods in agriculture.

PEOPLE STILL PAYING
Legislature Adjourned But En
rolling Committees Are
Still hard at Work
Little Rock, June 20—The 38th
General Assembly has become
an unpleasant memory, but Bill
Jones continues to pay for it. Bill
is the concrete entity that by com
mon consent came to represent the
Great, Common People in the florid
speeches of the country-savers on
(he floor of the House and Senate.
He is still paying at the rate of
$212 a day for the privilege of be
ing represented at Little Rock by
self-seeking politicians. Provisions
was made as usual for members of
the enrolling and journal commit
tees to stay over twenty days, to
gether with numerous officers and
attaches, all drawing their regular
per diem. This amounts to $118 in
the Senate and $94 in the House, a
total of $1200 for the hold-over
period.
The Legislature, both sessions,
cost the people $192,000. Adding
the cost of the hold-overs, and the
additional cost of about $2,000 for
copying the journals, there will be
left less than $2,000 of the original
$200,000 appropriated by the
Legislature for their mileage and
per diem, with the emergency
clause attached. There are only
four bills of the extra session to be
enrolled, three of them short, and
the revenue bill covering 110
printed pages. It is expected that
it will take almost the full period
to finish the work.

DON’T LEAVE ARKANSAS
Hay localize When its too i^le
I hat V'ou have Made a
Serious Mistake
Occasionaly a good man grows
dissatisfied with Arkansas.
I he milk is too yellow, or the
honey is too sweet and he doesn’t
like them to flow over his land,
anyway.
So he parts with his farm, sells
his live stock and other things too
numerous to mention and removes
to the Territory.
Once there he uses his Arkansas
money and buys a farm, which to
day is and tomorrow is not because
the wind has blown it away.
Or, perchance, he tries Colorado
and slushes in the mud irrigating
a strip of land so narrow that a
cow can’t jump in the field with
out jumping over it.
lie hears of Texas and then goes
down to hunt the bag of gold at
the end of the rainbow.
In the day time he scratches the
sandburs out of his flesh and cen
tipedes crawl over his flesh at
night.
w non ms money is all gone he
feels like he did the first time he
stayed away from home.
He yearns for good old Arkan
sas and the yearn sticks to his
throat and chokes him until tears
come into his eyes.
He would give a month’s wages
to see the cows standing at the
bars on his old Arkansas farm and
hear the old familar horn blow for
dinner.
Memory is a marvelous painter
and paints best the things we love
best.
It pictures to the traveler the
corn silken fields he once owned,
the cotton stretching away in a
sea of white as pure as snow.
It shows him the trees that
whispered to his children at play,
points to the roses in the corner of
the fence, and with infinite detail
paints a thousahd thingsthat touch
the heart and reveal the old home
place.
Happy indeed is the man who
wakes from his sleep to find he has
wandered away from dear old Ar
kansas only in his dreams.
LOST VALUABLE MULE
Morg Bums of Magness lost a
valuable mule Wednesday even
ing, the animal dying of colic. It
was a fine mule and was worth
$200.
