MUSEUM BEING PREPARED
Exhibits of Historical Interest Being
 Arranged By Secretary.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Dallas Herndon, secretary or the Arkansas historical commission, has succeeded in gathering enough furni- ture together to fit up the room at the state capitol which Is to be used as a museum. He has fitted up number of cases and is now engaged in installing the Agee collection of pottery and other relics which the commission recently secured at Hope. It is expected that other collections of relics will be secured and space for them has been provided by MT. Herndon.
 MT. Herndon Is also arranging a de- partment in which will be preserved all the contemporaneous documents and records which will be of value to historians in the future. MT. Herndon believes that the reason Ar kansas and other Southern states have not received proper attention from historions is that it has not been possible for the historians to secure access to the records and historical matter relating to these states. MT. Herrdor believes that the time to preserve historical data is the time when the history is being made, and he is preparing to follow out that idea in the preservation of newspapers, documents and other matters that tell of the present day.

The lines in the county races, with the ex- ception of that for representative, have been fairly well defined for some time, but the decision for an early primary has focused attention upon the race for the four seats to which Pulaski county is entitled In the lower house of the general assembly.

To be hungry We must starve. To

changing of place at a hundred miles
an hour nor making of stuffs a thou

one whit stronger, happier or wiser.
