FARMERS UNION
 MEETS SEPTEMBER
Men From All Parts of United States Will Attend Convention at
 Fort Worth.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 24.-Real farmers-the kind that live in the country and who worked out their own problems as boys in the hot sun and the cold rain, are coming to Fort Worth in hosts from the four corners of the land to attend the tenth annual convention of the National Farmers union that open September l. Subur- ban gardaers have worked Out ideal istic country life plans for them and economists are weaving schemes tor them to get through the wartime fin ancing stringency, but the cream of the real farmers of the United States will settle their affairs for themselves at this convention.
 There never was national farm CTS convention before, perhaps, that was equal in importance to the ap- preaching Fort Worth convention, ac- cording to National President Charles here recently to arrange for the con- vention.
 In his call for the convention President Barrett said in part:
 "This promises to be the greatest meeting ever held by the orgaaiza- ton. The entire nation has been aroused over what most people are pleased to call the rural problem Naturally, everyone looks to the organized farmer for his o. K. of the solutions offered. The personnel ot the Fort Worth meeting will be made up of men capable of advising, and no member who can possibly come should deny himself the pleasure of attending this meeting"

NEWSPAPER WRITING.
New Course to Be Established at
 State University.

Fayetteville, May 24.-A course in newspaper writing, which will form the beginning of a full-fledged de- partment of journalism, is to be intro duced into the university curriculum this year. This step has been taken in response to many requests by students that they be given such a course The work will be elective. and open to sophomores and upper classmen. It will be taught by Pro- lessor J. w. Evans of the English de- partment.
 The aim of the course will be to give instruction in newspaper writ ing and editing. The class will be organized into a miniature newspaper office, and every student will be giv- en an opportunity to write facts col lected as far as possible at first hand and to do copy-readng on the manu- scripts of other members of the class. Along with this work will go a training in the theory of the news story and the technical features of head-writing. An effort will be made to develop the students sense of news values, and to equip him, as far as such training can equip him. for actual newspaper work.
 In addition to training students for entering the newspaper field. the course will touch upon newspaper work as a stepping stone for those who wish ultimately to do magazine work
 The work will probably be carried on as far as possible in cooperation with the two student publications. The University Weekly and The Ar kansan.

which Macdonald Smith OF Oakmont. won
the metropolitan open championship
which was completed to-day at the Scars
dale Golf and Country club. Smiths score
OF 60. 6S. 6S. 73--27s is the lowest ever

with PSI strokes and Harry Vardon Is

OF Smiths record breaking performance
