WANTS THE BANKERS " ID MAKE TRIP R. T. Louthan is Creating Interest in This Section in
 Breeders Show. ON A SPECIAL TRAIN Pine Bluffians and Other Arkansans
 Are to Go to Fort Worth
 in March.


 CTS will in all probability assist in representing this state at the annual Breeders Show which will be held ill Fort Worth, Texas, March to 15. Chairman R. T. Louthan, of the Transportation Committee, yesterday sent to every member of Group Sev- en of the Arkansas Bankers Associa- tion a letter in which he urged them representing Arkansas. The letter. which explains in detail the trip to be taken, is as follows
 "The Seventeenth Annual Exhibit of the National Feeders and Breeders Show will be held in the Coliseum building at Fort Worth, Texas, from March 8 to March 15.
 "Inasmuch as Arkansas has become great factor in the development of the Live Stock industry, and as we are destined to become one of the greatest producers of Live Stock in the Union, the attention of the Ma tional Live Stock Association has nat urally been directed to this state and they are lending aid in their power to assist in developing this great in- dutsry. Of all resources this indus try now promises to be our greatest, and will do more to invite capital to our state than any industry that has ever been fostered us. It will mean wealth and development to .our state and is a matter of so much import ance and concern to us that it should be encouraged heartily by every citi- zen who has the welfare of his state at heart 'ss& @ss
 "In recognition of the wonderful advancement of the Live Stock Indus try in Arkansas within the past few years the National Feeders and Breed CTS Show has extended special in- vitation to us to attend this year and designated a special day for our en- tertainment to be known as "Arkan- sas Day.
 This is indeed significant when we stop to think that in all of the seven teen years of the holding of this show this is the first Special Day ev- CT set apart by for any state-and 1t is therefore manifest fact that Ar kansaw' is very much in the limelight in the Live Stock industry.
 Ut would be unfortunate for our state if we did not respond generously to this tribute of recognition from the National Association, which repre- sents so much wealth and one of the worlds greatest industries, and it is our hope that Arkansas will go to Fort Worth on Arkansas Day. with one of the largest and most represen- tative delegations that ever left the state on a mission having to do with our future growth and development.
 In view of this fact arrangements have been made with the Cotton Belt Railway to run solid vestibuled train of pullman sleepers and diners from Pine Bluff for this occasion at the very low rate of Four Cents Per Mile, or $14.70 for the round trip from this point. A similar rate has been obtained for all points on the line, winter tourist tickets being used with full stoplover privileges and good to return up to June 1. Parties desiring to accompany us on this trip may join the train at any point south if they will in the meantime notify the undersigned who will procure sleep ing car reservations for any one join ing us at any of these points.
 "The train will be elegant in it's ap- pointments and is scheduled to leave the Union Station at Pine Bluff at 5:45 p. m., March 12, reaching Fort Worth the following morning, March 13 at 830.
 "The committee in charge of this train has already received number
  of requests for transportation and sleeping reservations and believes that it will have upwards of two hun dred on the trip.
 We want every locality of the state represented on this trip and sincerely hope that some officer or employee of your institution can accompany us; or in the event of your inability to go with us we trust that you can and will prevail upon someone from your To- cality to accompany us.
 We might say for your informa- ton that, many of the gentlemen on this trip will be acdphpanaed by their wives. daughters and lady friends and you may rest assured that everyl attention will be bestowed upon theml
