TO ATTEMPT TO
 KEEP DAVIS OUT
Movement on Foot to Prevent the Sen ator'S Being One Of Arkansas Big Eour at National Convention.

Persistent rum0rs are now in circu- lation in political circles of Arkansas to the effect that an effort will be made at the coming state Democratic convention in this city to prevent the election of United States Senator Jeff Davis as one of the delegates at large from Arkansas to the national Demo- cratic convention. If such action is taken, it will be the first time in years in the history of Arkansas that both of the United States senators from this state have not been selected to represent Arkansas at the national convention.
 The Davis supporters have made no statements in the matter, and it is not even known whether Senator Davis will attempt 10 be elected dele gate
 One prominent politician of the state stated yesterday that probably an eff fort would be made to shut Davis out and probably, in case such an attempt is made, it would be successful.
 According to the rumors now af1oat. four men are receiving prominent mention as national convention dele gate candidates. They are: Geo. W. Donaghey of Conway, Democratic nom- inee for governor; Acting Governor Pindall, Secretary of State o. C. Lud- wig and United States Senator James r. Clarks. According to this rumor no effort will be made at the conyen- ton to prevent Senator Clark's cleo tion as a delegate.
 It is said that MT. Donaghey and his chief henchmen will hold a confer ence in Little Rock next week, upon MT. Uonaghey's return from Memphis, where he is now attending the elev-

TALL TIMBER FOR
 THE FUNNY SIDES
Federation of WOmen's Clubs Resolve to Put the Ban on Comic Supple mcntS-NOt True Art.

Happy Hooligan and his compan- ions are threatened with direr disas- ter than any of those which they have son arrowly escaped; the katzenjam- mer Kids will soon be reformed and stop playing tricks, and der Cap in peace and quiet; Jimmy will be sent on no more errands, and Buster and Tige will be forgotten. says the Little Rock Gazette.
 Not much longer will the juvenile reader spend Sunday morning with these old friends and then go to Sun day school without knowing the Gold en Text. Even the older readers will seek in vain for thhe funny page
 All this because the Arkansas Feder- ation of Clubs has decreed that the funny supplement" must go. because it presents to children a distorted and unnatural idea of art and gives them a wrong foundation for their appre- citation of true art.
 The Arkansas Federation of Clubs yesterday afternoon passed resolu- tion condemning the funny supple ment and resolving to carry the fight against it into the National Fedora tion. They were not satisfied with calling the supplement distorter Of the sense of true art, but sarcastically .s, Katzie kids and the rest are not funny by calling it "the so-called funny sup. plement."
 Following is the resolution passed yesterday afternoon by the Federa- tion:
 Resolved, That the women of the A. F. w. C. do all in their power to- ward the condemnation of the so-call- ed funny supplement" to the Sunday newspapers, as it presents distorted and unnatural idea of art to the mind of the young child, thus giving him the wrong foundation for the apprecia tion of true art.
 "We further ask that the delegates from the A. F. w. c. be instructed to bring this matter before the meet ing of the General Federation con- yenton at Boston,"
 Other Resolutions.
 The Federation also passed reso- luton voting scholarships in the Uni yersity of Arkansas, according to the plan of the chairman of the Educa tional Committee, Mrs. John l. Moore of Helena. This plan was printed in the GaZettee Thursday. It provided for an assessment of $3 for each club in the Federation annually, which would raise enough money to provide a scholarship for one year for a boy and girl in the university, the recip- tent of the scholarship to be deter mined by a competitive examination.
 A resolution was passed by the Fed eration in which each club in the or ganiZatiOn pledges to endeayor to or ganize one club in the county in which it is located and foster it until it is able to join the Federation. If this is carried out, the Federation will soon be doubled in size.
 \ resolution of thanks was passed, in which every one connected in any way with the Federation's convention here was rendered the thanks of the Federation.

She bounded forward to catch the ball, intending to take 1t away from Billy; but as her soft paw struck the ball it rolled like lightning across the broad porch, and both Billy and she ran after 1t. Billy reached 1t first and right in the direction of Tabby, who was before she had time to think it over Billy and had begun to keep up the game roll towards him.
 In one of these friendly contacts Tabby grasped Billy In her paws for all the world as though he were another kit ten, instead of clumsy puppy, and to- gether they tumbled, mewed, parked and bit. But 1t was only fun-not fight. And as Mistress Nell watched them she laughed and laughed, declaring 1t was the cutest sight she had ever be- held.
