Biennial Plans.

The number of clubwomen who are
Simplifying their intention of attending
tae biennial is amazing the committees.
Miss Louise B. Poppenheim of Charles
ton, s. c.. the corresponding secretary,
has had 1920 applications from dele
gates, and as many from alternates
from the various clubs. There have
been 400 applications to the ticket
committee in St. Paul for tickets from
women who expect to attend the bien-
NAL, but who will not be delegates or
alternates. The badge committee has
received orders for 1850 badges from
the Minnesota women. These figures
will give one some idea of the number
of women who are planning to attend
She biennial.
So much interest has been shown in
che meetings that the plan to have the
evening programs open for the general
public without any bother about tickets
has had to be abandoned, and tickets Of
admission will now be necessary for the
required for the afternoon conferences
ut the old capitol.
The task of making the armory
ready for the gathering of club women
was begun last week, and the carpen-
Eers have almost finished the stage and
boxes. Mrs. John B. Sherwood and
tluTS. Ipu1H COOuiey NdIu Will 6tII1FS
from Chicago tomorrow and begin the
task of installing the art exhibit and
Che collection of woman g work. Mrs.
Hugh Barr Smith Of Jacksonville, H.,
who has charge of the model fiat, which
has excited so much interest, will rot
reach st. Paul until Sunday, but Mrs.
Blair Of the agricultural school, and
Mrs. Mary Bookwalter Of Minneapolis,
who will assist her, will have every

She arrives.
Every room at the Ryan hotel was
Eaken two weeks ago. The officers and
board Of directors will have their head
quarters at the Ryan, but the chairmen
of the standing committees, who are
neither officers nor directors, will be
entertained at homes.
The men Of the Roosevelt club will
act as ushers at the evening gathering,
and at the morning business sessions
The duties of ushers will be filled by
groups of young girls.
The biennial will give the women an
opportunity of hearing Of many of the
and industrial conditions from the lead
ers. Miss Jane Adams and Mrs. Gran
ger of Georgia will talk of the child
1"bor conferences and tell how many
e'ates still permit children under 10
v,a9s of age to work in shops and fac
SOS all night. how many let children

They Got Damaaes.

A conclusion reached at Helena re-
Gently in the two damage suits for
$4,000 each that were instituted by
Adelaide Witt and Marian Emmons,
both of St Louis, against Thomas II.
Musgrave, q well-to-do Arkansas farm
er, of Bartield, Mississippi county.
The jury assessed damages at 1928
in favor of Miss Witt and at $1,000
In favor of Miss Emmons. Musgraves
counsel stated, after the verdict was
rendered, that he would not prosecute
an appeal, and that he would termi-
nate the proceedings by paying the
amounts assessed against him. The
young women claimed damages on
the allegation that they were lured to
Musgrave's place in Arkansas and
held there against their will. Mus
grave, on the other hand, averred that
he went to st. Louis and secured Miss
Witt to come to Barfield to act as
housekeeper for him. He declared
that Miss Witt expressed a desire for
a companion, and that he accordingly
engaged Miss Emmons. The two
plaintiffs alleged that after they were
induced to go to Barffeld. they were
virtually held as prisoners by Mus
grave, and that no one else occupied
the house. Miss Witt said that she es-
capped and that Miss Emmons was
later rescued by deputy sheriffs.

NEWS OF
ARKANSAS
A Family Monument.

A V. Swaty, in charge of the gov
eminent demonstration farm works
Arkansas, has sent out invitations to
farmers Of Columbia county to meet
with him October q, at Waldo. The
meeting is for the purpose primarily
of securing the cooperation of the
farmers in establishing a demonstra-
ton farm in Columbia county, but 1t
is expected that some action will be
taken by the farmers in attendance
regarding the boil Weevil investigation.
The reports of the government ex-
perts show that the weeVil has not
extended as far north in Columbia
county as Waldo, but the farmers in
that section are deeply interested in
the Investigations now being made,
because if the weevil migrates far
Their north it will be in their fields
by the middle of the winter. 1t is
probable that a committee will be Sc
lected at the meeting to ascertain
what steps can be taken, if any, which
will tend to check the spread of the
weevil to the northern part of the
county.
