WILSON ID CONFER WITH IA TOILETTE President Will Seek Aid of Progressive Republicans
 i'll the Senate.
DISCUSS THE TARIFF
laFellette's Ideas Similar to Those ei Progressiie Dcmocrats-IS Lead-
 CT oi Progressive Wing.

Washington, March 13.-President Woodrow Wilson has invited Senator LaFollette, leader of the progressive Republicans, to come to the White House for conference tomorrow night.
 The wise men of politics claim to see ill this open recognition of the Wisconsin senator the sign of a far sighted move to gather into the fold Of the new Progressive Democratic party all progressive Republicans who, having forsaken the straight Re- ublican party, have wandered like sheep without a shepherd since the defeat of Roosevelt.
 The announced object of the con- ference between the president and Senator LaFollettee is to discuss the attitude of Republican 1rogressives in the Senata toward Democratic tariff reform legislation.
 President Wilson has a high regard for Senator I.aFollette and the con ference is one of the most important that has been called by the president IL indicates that he has accepted Senator LaFollette as the leader of the progressive Republican faction in the senate
 How far Senator LaFollette may be able to control the progressive Repub- lcan faction in the Senate is uncer- tain. Senator Cummins and Senator Bristow have evidenced their indepen- dence and have not always supported Senator LaFollette in his schemes of radical legislation. It is generally understood that tariff is to be the main problem at this session. although it is predicted that the president may decide later that he wants congress to take up at once the question of new money law.
 Senator I.aFollette has been stu dent of both these economic questions and his suggestion to the president may have weight.
 The socalled Democratic wool re- duction bill vetoed by President Taf two years ago, was framed by Senator LaFollette. It was compromise measure much lower in it's duties thar the Payne-Aldrich law and a trifle higher than the Democratic bill. Int same was true of the cotton revision schedule which passed the senate ant met the veo The iron and steel sched ule compromise bill was framed b! Senator Cummins but Senator LaFol lette did not agree with his progres siye ideas in all the duties carried il this bill
 It has been reported here tha President Wilson is to give recognl tion in the matter of patronage to thu Progressive Republican members o Congress. This is denied by the Pro gressive Republican leaders and tn White House is silent on the subject It is well known, however, that tn president inclnes toward the progres sive wing in both the Democratic an Republican parties and in his politica career he has not hesitated to inter est legislators of the opposing part to force through progressive legisla tion he desires to have enacted.

 BUG FOUND HERE GOV ERN MfNT. AGENT
VISITS CONWAY TO LEARN OF INSECT DISCOVERY BY NOR
 NAL EXPERTS.

For the purpose of securing data on what is believed to be a new insect or worm which attacks young corn and which was first reported last April by Prof. c. B. Gentry of the agricultural department of the State Normal, E. o. D. Kelley of the United States Department of Agriculture, in charge of the experiment station at Wellington, Kan, spent yesterday on the Normal farm. Mir. Kelley hoped to secure specimens of the insect in adult form, but was unsuccessful and will return next week to make further search.
 Early last spring it was found in the Normal field that a parasite of some kind was attacking the young corn as it germinated and also cut ting it off from the roots as it sprout- ed, necessitating replanting. Prof Gentry at once began an investiga- tion and sent some specimens of the invader to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. It was then pronounced wire worm," but furth- CT study of the specimens indicated that it was an insect hitherto un- known to the department, and MT. Kelley stated yesterday that he now believes the insect was larvae of the cucumber beetle, which has per haps only recently begun to attack corn.
 After making further search here next week, Prof. Kelley said he will also return to Conway next spring, about the same time the pests were first noticed last year, and that a study would be made of the matter in the hope that further depredations may be prevented. 2N

 NEARLY 50 MILES

A calvacade of 27 wagons, carrying 83 bales of cotton, arrived in Conway early this morning, all coming from Van Buren county, most of the farm CTS living in the vicinity of Scotland, a distance of nearly 50 miles from Conway. This is the largest single amount of cotton ever brought to Con- way from so great a distance and the wagons, which almost filled the east side of the public square, attracted much attention.
 After receiving bids from local buy CTS the entire lot was sold to s. G. Smith, at prices ranging from II to 12 cents. The total amount paid for the cotton was nearly $5,000.

That the next legislature will ap- propriate a sum sufficient to build the main building of the State Normal and boys dormitory, was the opin- ion expressed by George E. Cook, state superintendent of public instruction. and chairman of the Normal board. who was in the city this morning. MT. Cook stated that the institution now has all the students it can properly take care of. and that as this is the cnlv Normal in the state, it will not be bu. short time until as many as g. OJO teachers will enroll. This being tho case, it will be imperative that more be furnished.
 < Mir Cook was accompanied by J. l.. McBrien of Washington, D.

very gentle or effeminate To this day
the folk dances have the same char
acteristics.
The music of these dances has a very
decided tune and a strongly marked
time and rhythm.
Whether the dance is a Polish folk
dance or comes from Ireland, it has a
vigorous grace that no drawing room
made dance can simulate.
The folk dance is always full Of
the outdoor spirit The motions are
free and untrammeled the accent or
beat strongly marked and when the
dancers get excited they shout or cry
out for the joy and exhilaration of the
moment, just as the children do these
sunny days when the organ grinder
plays, and as those earlier children did
when they danced in honor of Pan,
with garlands Of tender spring foliage
about their heads.
There were Always a couple who
could dance better than the rest. whose
motions were more graceful or who
originated some pretty step. Such Cou-
pies are still inventing new steps to
the "One Step" and the rest initiate
them. That is the way the different
dances became fixed or set in form.

II ok dances are the spontaneous
natural expression of pleasure
crystallized into certain set poses
and steps.
The first folk dances we're performed
by the men and women of long. long
ago, when the first signs Of spring
filled their hearts with JOY.
If YOU want to see just how these
dances originated, watch group of
children, now that spring is coming on,
and see how the air and the sunshine
and every new leaf and bud start them
prancing and shouting with glee. And
right in the midst of things comes the
handsorgan man with his wheezy old
tunes that sound fresh and sweet be-
cause they have not heard them for so
long. And then the children catch
some kind of a disjointed tune. and
be it ever so bad feet begin to keep
time, small hands clap, little bodies
sway rhythmically, and they're off in a
dance as old as the hills-the first folk
dance, the dance Of the spring.
