TO BEGIN WORK
 ON EXPO BUILDING
Governor Hays Finances Movement To Construct Arkansas State
 Building For Frisco Fair

A glowing tribute to the eff cacy of newspaper publicity was paid by Governor Geo. w. Hays in announcing that the project of erecting the Arkansas building at the Panama Pacific Exposition had been financed and that work of constructing the building would start before August Is. He said:
 Thanks to the public spirited newspaper men of the state the people are fast awakening to the tremendous advantages which will accrue to Arkansas through comprehensive adequate presenta- ton of her attractions, advantages and resources, to the world at the San Francisco exposition.
 Newspaper publicity is inform ing the people of the state as to what is being done and what is necessary to be done in this and other matters of public moment. No other medium reaches the peo- pie like the newspaper; and 1t is my firm belief that without the earnest and intelligent co-opera- tion being shown by the press of Arkansas that the difficulties at tending the raising of the fund required for the purpose of adver- Using Arkansas before the world at this time would be well-nigh insurmountable."
 Citizens of Little Rock and Hot Springs have agreed to advance their credit, so that $26,000 can be borrowed to start work on the building. The money will be bor- rowed at the banks and the sign CTS guarantee re payment. Four thousand dollars cash was collect ed this week and the campaign has just started.

The Crisis in Gum Chewing.
An acute condition is likely to
make its effect known among
gum chewing stenographers,
ribbon clerks and effeminate
young men, as it is found by
the Pam American Burean at
Washington that there are 10,-
600, 900 invet, rate chewers of
gum in the United Stat s.
Chlcle may be Greek to some of
these people, but to ma g it
clear it is explained that chicle
IS the sap OF the sapote tree,
technically known as sapota
zapotilla; and these Spanish
jaw-breaking words xplain
just how most Of our chewing
gum is made. While protect-
ing the flag is important, yet
how about the sapota zapotilIa!
II anything should happen in
Mexico that would cut off this
gum supply it would lead to
complications quite as far
reaching as those other affairs
we lave with the Huertaites,
the Carranza's and wins. 1t
takes 800, 100000 packages of
gum annually to run the United
States, and Mexico has to supply
practically all of the sap of the
sapote. With this in mind, the
gum chewers viii wish for the
success Of the mediation plan as
proposed by the A. B c. powers.
