TO COMPLETE PRESS
CLUB ORGANIZATION
LITTLE ROCK NEWSPAPER MEN
MEET TO ADOPT CONSTITU-
TON AND ELECT OFFICERS.

Little Rock, Nov 29.-The Little
Rock Press Club will perfect it's or
ganization Sunday afternoon when
the constitution will be adopted and
the officers chosen. The sentiment is
much in favor of j. C. Small of the
Arkansas Homestead and Farmer re-
naming as permanent president, with
K. O.. Shaefer of the Southern Con-
struction News as secretary-treasurer
Employees of newspapers and period
icals, in circulation business and edi-
torlal departments, alone are to be ac-
cepted as members, making it a very
close corporation. There will be no
associate members, and but few hon
orary members. The officers of the
Arkansas Press Association, while
serving as such, will be honorary men,
bers. Prominent men officially enter
tanned by the club will automatically
become honorary members of the or
ganization.
The principal work for the club will
be preparing the entertainment for
the members of the Arkansas Press
Association, who attend the spring
meeting, which will this year be held
in Little Rock. For the past years,
the smaller cities of the state have
been entertaining the association roy
ally, and now that Little Rock has
turn, it is the aim of the local press
gang to eclipse anything ever before
attempted. The visiting members will
not only be entertained in the homes
of the Little Rock members, but they
will be greeted with a surprise at ev-
cry turn. 1t is probable that the BAN
quet feature will give way to some
thing even more novel than the other
forms of entertainment. 1t takes
something extremely unusual to be
novel for newspaper men, but the
moving spirits in the Little Rock clu

Montgomery, July 0,-tSpecial,l l-Gover-
nor o'Neal TODAY received letter from
some prisoners confined in the Dallas
county jail protesting against the food
furnished them by the prison officials
and complaining of various hardships
which they declared they were compelled
to endure.
According to the letter the food fur
nished the prisoners is not only inadequate

ters, imperfectly ventilated.
