LETS ENTERTAIN THE EDITORS.

Secretary of State Earl W. Hodges, who is also secretary of the Ark ansas Press Association, has announce cd definitely that the annual junket of the squirrel heads will begin on the morning of July IS, the start be- ing made over the Rock Island, going east. It is probable that the Rock Island will give the editors special train which will be at their disposal from the time they leave Little Rock until Forrest City is reached, where the pencil pushers branch off on the Iron Mountain for Helena. The editors will be out five days.
 These distinguished brethren will probably be in Forrest City the 18th or 20th, and it occurs to us that it would be the proper thing for Forrest City to put forth some effort to enter tain them while they are in the city Nothing definite Is known as yet, as to the length of time they ex- pect to be here, but in the event any entertainment was planned for them. it could no doubt be arranged to have the stay heightened. In the party well be representative newspaper men from nearly every town in the state, and aside from the pleasure of entertaining them, and showing them what an East Arkansas welcome is like, and the courtesy we owe the stranger within our gates, the city will reap benefit in advertising out of all proportion to the small amount necessary to expend in seeing to it that the pencil pushers have a good time while here. They are hard working, conscientious set of men, whose daily lives know an unremitting grind, and whose unseltish effort is ever put forth for the upbuilding of their home town, their home county, and the State of Arkansas. Other towns along the route they propose tc traverse are planning to see 10 it that they gather good impression, and it's up to our business men and the people generally, to see to it that the pencil pushers return to their homes with the name Of Forrest City indei bly graven OH their memory and or their hearts, as the best town in East. ern Arkansas. Let's show'em good time. They will appreciate it.

Wants to Hold Poultry show.

MT. Harry Knight, one of the lead ing poultry fanciers of the city. is in receipt of letter from NIT. Bruce Mulkey, secretary of the Lee County Poultry Association, of Marianna. in which he asked Mir. Knight to send him the names of all the chicken crankso of this city and county, so that he might get in touch with them with a view to forming d three county organization, comprising the counties of St. Francis, Lee and Phillips. This subject was brought up, If We are not mistken. q year or two ago, but we believe, nothing was done. At that time it was proposed to have show in each county annual ly alternating from year to year. Now it is proposed to hold q show in each county every three years. Mr. Mulkey points out that lis association has coop facilities for handling from 22o single birds or 500 if the birds are cooped together. MT. Mulkey con- cludes by asking that MT Knight send him the names of all the Chicken Cranks' in the county. and T will write them personally, and if interest justifes l will come up some time when We can get bunch 10. gether, and talk it over with you
 We see no reason why such a pro- ject as MT Mulkey outlines could not be made success. Anyway it would bring together the fanciers of three counties, with the result that more interest would be aroused in the raising of thoroughbred poultry, and thereby result in great and lasting good to the people Of this section. We hope our chicken cranks" may get together on the matter.
 It is expected 10 have a meeting some time about .the middle of next week, when MT Mulkey will come up and see our chicken cranks. Mr. Harry Knight Chief Crank, will give further particulars.

At a meeting of the directors of the Arkansas State Fair Association, held May 27, Harry Nj. W escott was elected president, and J. L. Wadley as secretary of the Association for the ensuing year. In letter announcing this, MT. Wadley commenting on the failure of the legislature to make an appropriation for the fair, says among other things. Legislatures may fail in their duties to the state, but know the press of Arkansas has never failed. and will never fail. l know it has ever been and always will be the most potent factor and the most liberal and unseltish agent in pushing forward our marvelously great com monwealth and the development of her rich resources. In assuming the difficult duties Of secretary of the State Fair therefore, l shall, as an editor of thirty years labor in and for brother editors, as I know l may, for their hearty and liberal aid in behalf of the State Fair. l shall, from time to time, mail you copy relating to the progress of the Fair, and hope you will use such of it as you feel disposed to do, and preferably as much of your own boosting as you may wish 10 give us. We want to stress the point that the State Fair is not an institution local 10 Hot Springs, but statewide enterprise, of and for the whole state.

Our Agricultural Schools.

This week will end the first year $ session of our agricultural schools. We shall send a number of boys and girls back 10 the farm from which they came. They will go bask with an increased appreciation Of the dig nity of the farmers calling: with an increased love for the farm; with minds trained along agricultural lines. Doubtless they will make mis- takes, but they will never make the same mistake twice. These agricul- tural students have studied the soil, its needs, its possibilities, methods of cultivation and other things pertain ing to the farm. They are now anxious to apply the information which they have gained.
 Let us give them all the encourage ment and assistance possible. In a few years they will be called upon to shoulder the responsibilities of church and state. They will be expected to stand in the front rank as leaders of every worthy movement in church or political life. It will be seen that they are by nature and by training it to shoulder such responsibilities
 A few years ago college professor made this statement: "A fool can farm Many agreed with him. But today the consensus Of opinion among thinking men is: A farmer must be an intelligent man. well trained in his life-work The passage of laws establishing four agricultural schools in our State. and requiring agricul- ture to be taught in our public schools, well indicates the sentiment of our people towards agricultural education. Let US talk farming and keep on talking about farming-the business which is absolutely at the base of all wealth-and let us fill our agricultural schools to overhowing.

A petition was circulated in Little Rock last week, and numerously sign ed. praying that Mrs. Angelina Ma politano, the Italian who is confined in the condemned murderer's row in d Canadian prison, charged with the murder of her husband, shall be par doned. According to newspaper re- ports, it seems that the woman, who is the mother of two children, and Sho is about to bring another into the world, shot her husband when she realized that he was attempting to force her to lead life of shame in order that he might live in idleness of Of the money thus earned. The petition circulated in Little Rock is one of many that are being sent throughout the United States, and everywhere they are being signed broadcast. It is to be hoped that the Canadian authorities will see it to temper their justice with mercy and grant the woman a free pardon. Brutes of the type that this woman's husband seems to have been, are bet ter dead and case of this kind where a man attempts to force the helpless woman, whom he has sworn to cher ish, honor, and keep through life, into life of shame, that is in itself a liv- ing death, and through her to drag down and secure for evil purposes. innocent girls, deserves no pity. nor even word of cemmiseration when the averaging angel lays him low. Had the killing occurred in one of our southern states, or in most any part of the whole United States, there would have been no need for petitions for executive clemency. And the Canadian authorities will, we think, do themselves credit if they release the woman to live her life and raise her children as she may see lit.

The Civic Improvement League in conjunction with the CemeteryAs tion has let the contract for grading and draining the south end of Izard street. leading to the cemetery to Rufus Scott who started to work on the job Monday. It is the purpose of these organizations to make the street leading to the cemetery a model drive way. The membership of both the Improvement League and Cemetery Association is made up entirely of ladies and through their efforts the cemetery has been plated and will eventually be made one of the city s 'beauty spots. The ladies will endeavor to make of this work an example of civic improvement in which every citizen of the town may take a pardonable pride and the re- clamation of the cemetery which has heretofore has been waste place. cut up with unsightly gullies and grown up in weeds and briars, is the first step in a general crusade which the organiza- tions have inaugurated for a ''city beautiful.

 VALE DIA/.

In an interview with representa- tive of the Hearst newspapers on board ship during his flight from Mex ico, the retiring President Diaz is quoted as saying, among other things: My future plans are not definite. l shall go from Hayre to some quiet little chalet in Switzerland My day is done, my sun is set, and l am an old, old man."
 With all the faults with which Diaz is charged, and with all the wrongs with which he is credited as having perpetrated in the republic to the south of the Rio Grande. one can but admire the man, and view his depart ure or flight if you will with feeling of admiration, if not of kindly sym pathy. for the man who with an iron hand has held sway over turbulent Latin people, and through the de- cadeS of his administration had brought order out Of chaos, only to see ill his declining years the country he had made turn against him, and with almost unanimous voice clamor for his banishment We have never been an admirer of Diaz, nor of the methods pursued in the country he ruled, but even if he is as bad as he is painted, credit is due him as a brave man, a skillful leader, and one Of dauntless spirit, who even in defeat is unconquered still.

Busiest Place in Town.

\ Times man visited the plant Of the Forrest City Ice & Coal Company a short while ago and found one of the busiest places it has been our good fortune to see in many a day. MT. George Taylor, the proprietor of the concern, was the leading spirit in the activity, aud he and everyone of his crew were putting in good licks While we were there car was being loaded with seventeen tons of ice for shipment to Wheatley, ecouple of wagons were being loaded for customers of the company in Madison, and all the time orders were being re- ceiyed for their town customers.
 And in the bottling works plant, which is now connected with the ice factory, MT Chris Muller, who has charge, had his force working like a bunch of beavers putting up all sorts of soda water and all sorts of refresh ing temperance drinks.
 And last, but by no means least, we noticed the steam laundry plant which is in charge of MT Overfield, Here too, the hot weather has brought rush of work, and everyone was busy. We failed to find anyone in that neck of the woods or around the vici- nity finding fault with the hot weather. We congratulate NIT. Taylor upon the success he is having with his plant. and hope that it may continue.

After the refreshing showers of the first part Of the week, the atmosphere cooled otf considerably, and made life a little more worth living, and also caused the faces of our farmer friends to lose that worried look, and assume one almost akin 10 real happiness. While, according to some of those to whom we have talked, corn was al most to far gone for the rain to be of much benefit. yet il is thought now, that quite crop will be raised. while cotton where there is stand is very promising indeed.

Sid Trapp has strengthened his repu- tation as mighty hunter. He went over across L'Anguille last week with party, missed the road and got lost from his associates, who a f | CT securing the woods for Trapp at dinner time that he might be given something to eat, found the gen. tleman asleep in the bushes, while the frisky squirrels made goo-goo eyes at him from every angle in the surround ing timber. Bob Sellers and Judge Norfieet say there is no doubt about Trapp being a great hunter.
