OMAHA EXHIBIT.
Arkansas Must Raise Money for an
 Exhibit.

"Yes, I have just returned from a trip to Omaha and am now on my way to Little Rock to look after my business duties in that city," said Commissioner W. c. Vincenheller in answer to the inquiry of the Fort Smith Ne,es Record representative.
 Arkansas must by all means be represented at the coming Omaha Exposition. We can't afford to let this opportunity pass at any cost, We simply must raise money and get to work at once.
 Commissioner Yincenheller re- marked that in many ways the Om- aha Exposition would resemble the Worlds Fair, and would do much to advertise the State abroad.
 We all know the benefit that fol- lowed in the wake of the Worlds Fair in the way of developing and advertising our resources. The same opportunities are offered for the State of Arkansas, if properly represented at Omaha. We must raise the money to make the exhibit at all costs, remarked Col. Vincen- heller very emphatieally and very earnestly.
 The fruit outlook for Arkansas, ae- eording to Col. Vincenheller's infor- nation, will be better this season than last, provided the weather conditions remain favorable
 "The farmers and fruit growers throughout the State are more hopeful and, if anything, are in bet ter shape financially than they ever were, and with good year, they will reap rich harvest and will be able to lay aside few dollars for a rainy day, concluded Commissioner Vincenheller.
 The executive committee of the Arkansas commissioners to the Om- aha exposition met at Little Rock last week and selected vice presi- dents for the various counties ih the State.
