day will be the closing of deal with
a biograph company to bring corps
of artists and moving picture ma
chimes to Arkansas and prepare films
which will advertise Arkansas over
the entire world. The committee also
thinks well of this resolution.
The crowd which is attending the
exposition is a most cosmopolitan and
good -natured one, and even the ma
tives have expressed great surprise
at the resources of Arkansas. The ex-
hibits are many and varied. Enough
literature is given away to load
camel, and samples of rice, flour and
other food products are given away
by the ton. 1t is a miniature Column
bian Exposition for the giving away
of samples, and everyone leaving the
hall is heavily laden. Real estate
agents are everywhere, and beng a
live sort, keep things moving. Such
remote places as Greenwood, Leslie,
Winslow and many of the smallest
towns in the state are represented by
men with circulars inviting immlgra-
ton. All the cities are represented
from the 200 stalwarts from Stutt-
gart. to the smallest numbers from
the remote cities. Hot Springs has
the second largest delegation, with
Pine Bluff good third. Conway,
Newport. Jonesboro, TeXarkana, Fort
Smith. Rogers, Murfreesboro and
Nashville also have many delegates
on hand. The booths are all very IN
viting.
There is plenty of amusement being
afforded, automobile rides, free tick
cts to theaters and ball games and to-
night there will be an exhibition fire
run participated in by the fire compa-
nies of the city.

Little Rock, March 24.-The second
day of the State Land Congress, with
it's / 800 delegates, opened with more
enthusiasm and larger crowd than
yesterday, if possible. Every chair in
the convention hall of the Hotel Ma
ron was filled when Chairman Till
man called the convention to order.
The exhibits were roped off so that
the crowd could not linger there dur
ing the sessions of the congress, as
had been done yesterday This affect
ed many, as the exhibits are the most
attractive thing to the visitor. Dur
ing the intermissions, however, and at
night, when there can be no Interrupt
ton, the crowds are permitted to
surge about the large banquet hall of
the hote.
The convention yesterday was given
up to the delivering of addresses and
the report of the committee on perma-
nent organization, which placed John
N. Tillman, president of the Universe
ty of Arkansas, in the chair, and
Judge E. R. Ratterree was chosen as
secretary. Today the balloting for
the 1911 convention will commence.
Hot Springs and Pine Bluff are the
two cities after this meeting, though
Little Rock is expected to step in at
the last moment and fight for the
place. The officers will be elected and
then the addresses wi continue until
everyone has had chance to be heard
on the plan for the permanent organ
ization.
One of the real important things to
be done today will be the adoption of
resolution asking the next legisla-
ture to provide funds for an mmigra-
ton bureau, as we'll as to further aid
the congress in advertising the state.
If the congress can provide the funds,
it will also purchase two exhibit cars
which are now the property of Col.
C. w. Riggs, and are in st. Louis,
and send them over the United States
to advertise Arkansas. A resolution
providing for this, and placing Ray
Gil formerly secretary of the Ar
kansas state fair, now deputy state
superintendent of public instruction,
in charge of them. as travelling man

resolution with favor knowing well
the ability of Mr.. Gill as booster.

Several weeks ahead of the circus
there goes contracting agent whose
principal duty is to arrange for the
feed of the horses in each of the
towns where the circus plays. The
fact that ten tons OF hay are used
daily by the Barnum & Bailey Show
needs no further comment In some
cities 1t is practically impossible to oh.
tain suitable fodder in such large
quantities, and frequently the contract
ing agent finds It necessary to ship
in the small towns hay, straw and oats
enough to feed the animals. Circus
horses are necessarily more valuable
than the average four-footed beast of
burden. Ring horses are TO the draught
horses what the average college grad

This member states that the Board of Charities, State Normal and other boards meet behind closed doors and no mention of the fact is made. The member also states that the most of the sen- sational stories written are ground less, and do the board nor the state any good to get into the public print Another member adds that there are things, relative to strategy on the part of the board in disposing of cot ton, or making other deals, which arc defeated in their purpose if they be- come known before the deals are con- sumated. With these explanations of fered the members of the board state the meetings in the future will all be of an executive nature, as everything done by them is a matter of record and can be examined by the public at any time.
