The first resolutions asr,.5 for dona-
 tions from individuals, co1porations or commercial organizations to bear the expense of the advertising work to be carried forward by the Con-
 gross until the meeting of the legis-
 lature. The resolution asked that the subscriptions be given to the sec-
 retary and before the adjournment last night over $500 had been sub scribed and towns all over the state were jumping up to inform the sec- retary to count up the expenses as anticipated for the year and draw on their towns for it's proportion. Fort Smith led with this proposition, fol- lowed by Fayetteville, the town
 winch supplied the temporary presid- ing office, Judge J. N. Tillman, and also the permanent presiding officer, G. A. Cole. The second resolution made Little Rock the permanent meeting place of the Arkansas Land Congress, meeting to be held an- nually in March. There was no op- position to this resolution. Hot
 Springs and Pine Bluff both with drawing their invitation to the con- gress to meet with them next year. It was explained that the other towns saw how Little Rock had worked for the convention and thought it best that the city be re- warded. When the resolution was presented Sam 0. Sevier, of Cam denfi was granted the floor and ex- pressed the sentiments of Hot Springs and lauded the liberality of the delegates from the Valley of Va DOTS in side-stepping for Little Rock. He said the thing for the convention to do to repay the Hot Springs people, was to get behind their state fair, which was now the state fair of all Arkansas, and push it to the front. He stated the con- vention should have a call session at the fair in order to encourage the exhibitors and the calling of such a special session would do much to boost the fair. Another resolution
 asked the Arkansas legislature to pass laws which would invite capital to Arkansas, showing that the farm CTS have to pay 8 to 10 per cent in- terest on mortgages and the banks have to charge from 1 to 5 per cent more in discounting loans than is charged in other states on account of the smallness of the deposits.
 The fourth resolution favored the state retaining possession of the old state house when the new state capi- tai is completed, for the purpose of making of it a permanent exhibition room for the products of the state, rooms being set aside for the differ ent counties. The next resolution was the longest of any, as we'll as one of the most important. It fav- ored each county having an experi- mental station, maintained by the county with state aid, for the pur- pose of experimenting in agriculture, horticulture and stock raising. The products of the farms, according to the resolution, should belong to the county and at the end of the season, be sold to provide funds to sustain the farm. According to the resolu- tion. such farms as these would im-. prove the stock of the county and also provide good seed for the far mers, the seed which is now being brought in being adulterated in many instances, and in others os old it has lost it's strength. The resolu- tion further favored the offering of gold prizes to the boys and girls of the various counties for the best horse, mule, COW, hog sheep, goat or species of fowl raised by them in each county There was also a clause providing in each county for gold prizes for the best acre of corn. wheat, oats, barley, rice, rye, pota- toes, clover, timothy and alfalfa grown by a boy. Another prize is suggested for the largest yield of these crops from one acre. Before adjournment late in the afternoon, H. l..
