The organization became moribund. and It's presidency vas an honor no longer sought for The directors met aud gave the place to young man of the type i've like to encourage" The young man took hR lob seriously and went to work.

 Every family that moved to town .,,' spotted., Employment was provided tor the brsadwtRners where necessary and the now people were made to fee. at home. When this personal atten tlon had got in it's work. represents uvs of the board of trade interviewed the head of tho new family. This in aorvicw was incorporated into letter mimeograph copies were made. put ints- stamped envelopes and made ready to mail. Then the letters were taken tu shs newcomer. and he was asked tc address them to his friends "back east" The scheme worked l1ke magic and the population boomed. Of that Aea many new ones were born.

Calls Attention of Legislature to Fact That Democratic Platform Contains Plank Covering Matter--.ASks. Ac- tiOn. as'8

Little Rock, Ark. May S.(iOver nor Donaghey yesterday sent a spe- 'ciai message to the legislature rec Ommending the passage Of legisla- 1ion which will allow the people of the state to vote on the question of Estate-wide prohibition. He sets forth 4that the Democratic platform recom- rnended the submission of that ques- tion to the voters- of the state, and adds that the legislature still has time to enact a law to that effect
 The message was read in the house, but not in the Senate. as that body was not in session in the afternoon.
 The message in. full follows:
 Again awaiting myself of the con stitutional right as chief executive of the state, and acting in conformity with what l deem to be my duty, herewith again call your attention 1O the neglect of your honorable body in complying with the platform of NAC 1SS SAiOSla alN GOG tcullON Cu G1e question of submitting to the people the question of state wide prohibit Eion.

The lack q taste in tho community generally is an unfortunate fact, notwithstanding eur grand school system. and may be attributed in . large degree to the failure to appreciate its necessity by cur educators.

WANTS ANOTHER
 INSANE ASYLUM
County Joe Asher Wants Measure Passed For it--.iIot Springs Race Track Boosters Get a Set Back Railroad Transfer.

Little Rock. Ark. May S.-County Judge Joe Asher. of Pulaski county, is taking an active part securing the passage of the bill apprnpriating a sum sufficient for the second insane asylum. He believes the general fund should not pay for the erection of the buildings either. but have a special tax levy of one quarter of a mill for two years. Judge Asher is explaining to the legislators where there are 800 insane persons over the state in jails, which cannot be ac- commodated in the present state hos pital He also explains that an in- sane person who is confined in a padded cell in a jail has little chance of recovery. while large percentage of those at the state institution soon recover their full mental capacities.
