the club. MT Crockett declined to present the Southern side on the ground that the Northern side had been carefully prepared and so ably presented that he feared the Southern side of the discussion might not be done justice in an impromptu talk and that, as a SoutAerner. he could not enjoy defeat for the South by the North. However. he said he would like to talk about the best part" of the South-Arkansas. With patriotic pride he pointed to the many resources and industries in which Arkansas eX- cels. the many things in which Arkan- sas takes first rank, giving some real ly startling facts and figures in con- nection with agricultural productions.
 MT. Crockett's talk received hearty applause from the enthusiastic Arkan- sans present, who feel a just pride in their citizenship in the greatest state in the Union.
 A piano solo by Mrs. Frances Hardin followed adding much to the pleasing variety of the delightful program.

 From the literary standpoint this club is unexcelled by any club in the city.
 From the social standpoint it is, perhaps, superior to all of the clubs in the city. As a combined literary and social club it occupies first place

 Mrs. NJ. J. Henderson acted as guide and in a splendid paper took her hear CTS on delightful tour of New York city, visiting all of the chief points of interest, giving the details, facts and figures in excellent style. She called on others to contribute mat ters of interest. which was done in pleasing manner by other club mem hers who had also visited New York

ments being returned by the Fulton

Carranza Representatives
Will only Meet Huertas
on Battlefield.
REPORTED PROGRESS"
"powers Should Deny Right OF United
States to Interfere With Mcxico's
Internal Affairs

New York, May 23.-"The only
place Carranza or his representatives
will meet Huerta or the dictator'S men
is on the battlefield"
This was the reply made today by
Jose Vasconcelos, chief Of the consti-
tutional junta here, when he asked re-
garding a report that his leader had
named him as a mediator to attend
the Niagara Fails peace conference.
GAS long as the Hueristas are at
Niagara Falls, the constitutionaliStS
will not go there" said Vasconcelos
today. AS Mexican, | thank the A.
B. C. mediators for their efforts. But
we constitutionalists feel that no
country has any right to interfere any
more than South American or Euro
pean had right to interfere in the
great struggle which confronted the
United States in 1861"
Niagara Falls Ont, May 23.-Slow-
ly and deliberately the dove of peace
is circling and m2mewering here be-
fore it finally a!ights.
Informal formaIity' prevails as the
A. 3. c. mediators meet with the
American or Mexican delegates in the
conversations" which are to lead up
to the formal full conferences when
Eorlpai telaas of settlement OF Mexi-
co.'s troubles are to be submitted.
Despite the grave situation which
led to this peace conference and the
serious questions which must be con-
sdered, there is distinct air of in
formality about the proceedings. There
is no set program Of conferences. The
United States delegates motor over
from the American side at most un-
expected times, although they have,
of course, arranged for their coming.
"Favorable progress" is: being made
in the negotiations, according to
Justice Lamar. but just how far the
conversations have progressed is
purely a matter of conjecture. A
full conference with both sets of dele
gates and mediators present is not eX-
pected until sometime next week.

Only three rore school weeks re-
main before the close Of school, Final
examinations take up the last week,
thus leaving only two weeks also of
lessons to High School pupils. and
those wishing you to pass or with
their respective classes had better
hustle if they wish to make the mark
that will allow them to 10 this. The
total general average at the end of
the second term for the past three
six-weeks' periods averaged with the
final exam grade will give the pupils
second term scholarship. The first
term scholarship has been averaged
likewise, and the two scholarships av-
eraged together will give the narq
which decides whether the pupil is to
pas or fail. As failure means staying
back in the. same year for another
school session, it is important to ev-
cry pupi! that he make the passing
mark. Only two more weeks to study
so hustle up!
