The Mexican people suddenly
woke up to the fact that they did
not care to be plunged into a war
for the sole purpose of keeping
the usurper Huerta, in power.
Ii was a realization of this fact
that led Huerta to accept the Of
fer of mediation which was made
by the Ministers of the leading
South American countries, name
ly; Argentine, Brazil and Chill.

est, and there is much ground for
hoping that they will contribute
substantially toward the settle
ment of the Mexican trouble.
1t is reported in reliable cir
cles that Huerta is making prep
arations TO hot foot it, out of
Mexico on short notice, and it is
not believed that he will attempt
to maintain himfelf in power
much longer, as the wealthy peo-
pie who have hitherto support
ed him have practically all de
serted him and Mexico will not
'sbe asveFy safe place FOR him to
remain in when he once relin-
quishes his power.

The State Department of For
estry is going into the apple tree
business and furnish budded
trees to the people of the State
at cost. So great a demand for
apple trees has arisen that at a
meeting of the Forestry Commits
sion in Frankfort, it was decided
that apple seed beds should be
established in the Louisville
nursery and State Forester J. +.
Barton said he would secure the
seeds at once. The seedlings rails
ed in the State nursery will be
budded and grated to the prop
er varieties for this state before
shipment. A storehouse and
packing and sorting plant will be
erected at the cost of $1,000 in
connection with the Louisville
nursery.

JUDGE KIRBY GOES 10 PO|NSETT AGAIN WILL GATHER EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF HIS CONTEN-
 TON OF FRAUD IN
 THAT COUNTY.

Little Rock, April 9.-To gather evidence to be submitted to the Demo- cratic State Central Committee in support of his contention that the vote of Poinsett county as reported is invalid, Judge William F. Kirby has gone a second time to Harrisburg. Judge kirby's second trip to the Poin- sett county seat followed a conference held yesterday in Little Rock, with former State Senator Madris of Poin- sett county
 In view of Judge Kirby's departure last night for Harrisburg, where he expects to spend the rest of this week, it is generally believed that the pro- test he will make Tuesday against the acceptance by the State Central Con- mittee of the Poinsett certificate is to be followed by notice of contest. The procedure for contest will necessi- tate the giving of 20 days notice to Senator Clarke, who also must be given opportunity to file an answer with the committee
 Judge Kirby said yesterday that he felt wrong impression had been ob- tained from a news item published in the Gazette yesterday from Harris burg.
 'I asked Ed Landers, in the Poin- sett county clerks office for certi- fled list of poll taxes paid for the year 1913,' Judge Kirby said yesterday q was told the list would be ready Monday. Ex-Senator Madris, repre- senting me, called on Monday for the list and again Tuesday before coming to Little Rock asked for the list. He was unable to get it.''

MAY ORGANIZE NEW BRASS BAND HERE

Chas. V. Douglass, director of the Grand orchestra, stated today that un- less present plans miscarry, Conway will have brass band in the near flu ture. Arrangements are under way to procures funds with which to pur- chase uniforms and instruments, and to employ a competent instructor. A meeting will be called within a few days, at which time the matter will be presented to those interested and a definite decision reached.
 MT. Douglass said: With the amount of talent there is in Conway there Is no reason for not having a brass band. With a competent in structor it would be only a short time until band concerts could be given, as there Is large number of young men here who have had more or less ex- perience in band and it would re- quire but a few lessons for them to learn to play. Instead of hiring out of-town bands to play during the county fairs, the Conway band could furnish the music and keep the money at home. Band concerts could be giv- en in the courtyard park during the summer months, and would be very entertaining. l believe the people of Conway would like to see a good brass band organized here and we are going to do it, if we can get the cooperation of the citizens"

10 HOLD COUNTY
 FAIR FULL WEEK
NEW BOARD ANNOUNCES
WEEK OF OCTOBER , TO 10 IN CLUSiVE CHOSEN FOR SIXTH
 ANNUAL FAIR.

Not only will the annual Faulkner county fair be held again this year. but the exhibition will be put on for full week, instead of four days, as previously This decision was reach ed at a meeting of the new board of directors Wednesday afternoon. J. w.. Earlier, county demonstration agent was present and reported that there was great demand among the farm CTS of the county for the continuance of the fair.
 The week beginning October ] and ending October 10 was selected as the time for the fair.
 The fair will again be in charge of J. A. King, who has managed the past three annual fairs. As Mir. King had been elected on the board, his title was changed to that of secretary and the position of manager was abolished. This is in conformity with the custom of nearly all fairs.
 Postmaster H. B. Ingram was re elected president of the Faulkner County Fair Association, position which he has held since the inception of the enterprise six years ago. w. D. Cole, Jr was elected vice presi- dent, J. A. King secretary and J. w. James treasurer. The three other
 
 members of the board of directors are Jo Frauenthal, J. S. Johnson and J. B. Higgins.
 The entire board pledged it's hearty cooperation to make the sixth fair the biggest event in the history of Faulkner county Much enthusiasm was shown at the meeting and it is believed the fair starts out with brighter prospects than ever before.
 The board will meet again Friday night for the purpose of making some arrangements to liquidate the indebt- edness of the association and provide funds for advance expenses. Secre- tary King said the deficit was only about $500. The board will also at this meeting make arrangements for the publication of the catalogue, upon which it is hoped to begin work in the near future.

 Cloudiness and winds prevented the occurrence of frost last night, but the mercury fell below freezing point and thin ice was to be seen this morning. Yesterdays wind had dried out the fruit blossoms and buds, however, and it is believed they have not yet been seriously damaged.
