 Speaker to Help in Campaign.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock-Arkansas prohibition leaders are negotiating with William J. Bryan with the object of having him deliver several speeches in the state during August, but as yet have made no contract with MT. Bryan. Several months ago MT. Bryan wrote to the executive committee of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League that he would probably visit Arkansas and deliver some speeches, but he was later noti- fled that he would not be needed be- cause of the court proceedings affect ing the prohibition amendment.
 The supreme court cleared the way for vote on statewide prohibition, and the fight has been renewed by the prohibtionists. The committee has again taken up the question of having MT. Bryan visit Arkansas and make some speeches in August, and it is believed that he will accept the offer, although no agreement has yet been reached.
 MT. Bryan was brought to Arkansas before the last general election to speak on the initiative and referen- dunn amendment, and his efforts in behalf of this amendment practically carried it. at the election.

Johnson, who took a series of Arkansas views for visual education in the New York public schools last winter, will return to the state soon to obtain views of the largest peach orchard in the world at Highland and the Arlan sas diamond mines. These sets of views, which have attracted the New York people will complete the educational series on Arkansas.
 MT. Johnson was attracted to Arkan- sas by the Arkansas on Wheels" train. which he visited at Pittsburg, and the panoramic view of which was taken by him. He was employed by the New York board of education to prepare several sets of plates, the negatives for which are to be used in the New Tory high schools in the be- partment of visual education.
 The Arkansas views he took while here last summer were as follows: A series of Hot Springs pictures; se- ries showing the cultivation of rice from clearing the ground to harvest ing, including about a dozen views; series on timber resources, cotton planting, etc.
 Speaking of Mir. Johnson's work. MT. Folsom says:
 .The story of rice growing in Ark ansas is told in such an interesting and graphic way by these pictures that the boy and girl in the New York schools who are to have the advantage of this new departure-visual educa- tion-will learn more at glance thas by many hours of studying and they get it in such a practical way that they will always remember it.
 Now this alone is worth the entire cost of the Arkansas on Wheels train, through whose direct influence MT. Johnson come to Arkansas and made and collected the series of views as above described, securing the assist ance of local photographers to per fectly accomplish his purpose"
