newest and latest things in the drug business, and telling of the big inn provements in present conditions as aganst conditions in the past.
 The attendance showed d satisfac- tory increase yesterday morning, due ot arrival over night of many mem' bers of the association. Because the state board of examiners in pharm- acy held It's eXamlnatiOns in Little Rock Monday, instead of holding the examnations in connection Witn Ino convention of pharmacists, some thing like 6o candidates who took the examinations failed to appear here, which they would otherwise have done.
 Because the automobiles were ready for the conventionists to en- joy a ride through the city and county on modern streets and roads, the convention adjourned early until Thursday morning.
 The banquet last night was largely attended. w. l.. Dewoody, the old est druggist in the sta'< was toast master. pr. John B. Bond of Little Rock, who, with MT. Dewoody is the only charter members of the organi- zatlon attending the convention, was guest of honor. Among the speak CTS were Y. A. Robinson of Memphis and others from this and aother
 states. Many ladies were among those participating.
 Travellers Furnish Fun. Immediately after the conclusion of the banquet last night, the 4Ar- kansas Pharmaceutical Travellers took hand in the doings of the coa- vention and invited the diners to the
 ballroom of the Hotel Pines, where something was about to occur"
 Music had been provided, and the guests party was urged to participate Ii na number of prize dances. The two-step. the. waltz, the one-step aud the hesitation were danced, some ot the contests being difficult to decide
 and the announcement being made that the, winners, the gentlemen only
 being named, were Messrs. Mccoy Ellis, Moore and Wilkins, all but MT Wilkins being druggists, and the hesitation, won by MT. Wilkins, being the only free for all" on the pro- gram.
 The affair was most enjoyable and furnished lots of fun. It was an nounced at the conclusion of the dancing, at midnight, that the Tray elera will hold a spelling contest this
 afternoon, the definite hour and place to be announced at the fore noon session of the pharmacists to- day.

PICNIC FOR FARMERS
 AT SULPHUR SPRINGS
Prominent Officiails Will Aid Miss Fortner in Making Day Pleasant
 and Profitable.

Farmers of the southern half of Jefferson county, with their wives their daughters and their sons, are expected to gather at Sulphur Springs today in large numbers, to enjoy the old-time, all-day, basket picnic, arranged for them through the efforts of Miss Mary Fortner, canning club agent of the county. These affairs are held per. odically | in the county, the residents of tns section north of the river having en- | joyed their outing only short time ago. It is expected mighty near all the schools in this part of the coun- try will be closed for the day, and that all the children will be at Sulphur Springs. Because Of the ex- cellant weather which has prevailed for some days past, the roads are in thebest possible condition, and as there are many miles of modern bikes in this section. there will be no trouble reaching Sulphur Springs
 Miss Fortner has arranged to use 1 the fireless cooker and with 1t to prepare Arkansas chicken a la Gre ole. as an extra dish for the picnick CTS, who will bring their lunch in their baskets. Other dainties in large quantity are also to be on hand for those enjoying the affair.
 State Agricultural Agent c. " Watson, and his assistant, w. J. Jernigan, will be in attendance from Little Rock, as will also Miss Marceiia Arthur, agent in charge of home eco- ncmics, and County Farm Demon tsaration Agents Joel Lambert and C. H. Thomas. Miss Fortner vii actually be in charge of the details of the affair, and with all these farm Experts to help her carry out the plans, the day ought to be crowded with entertaining and interesting features.
 Quite a number of Pine Bluff peo- pie have arranged to participate in the picnic, and among the we'll known local men who will make talks to the, picnickers will be Dr. w. H. Blank cnship, county health officer; County Judge c. M. Philpot and E. B. Bloom, secre;ary-of the chamber of com merce. E

of the organization work personally upon their state legislators, to ex- plain the law desired by the phar- macists, and that in this way only Is it pcssiblet to have needed laws passed.
 A supplementary report was made by Frank Schachleiter of Hot Springs a member of the committee, in which it was shown that many court deci- sions support the contention of the organization that the state has the legal right and power to regulate the business of dealing in drugs and medicines.
 "A report of the finance committee showed that a considerable sum is due the secretary, Miss Mary Fein of nLittle Rock, and after much discus Sion, special assessment of $2 per member was voted, that Miss Fein might be paid the amount due her. T The Morning Session.
 The annual report of President Roy Chamberlain of Malvern direct at ,tentiOn to the, fact that the past year has been one of the most difficult for the druggists everywhere, due to the passage of particularly strenuous laws, as well as to the war in Europe A large list of drugs, drug supplies and pharmaceutical supplies general ly have jumped enormously in price because of the war, principally be- cause they are. either produced or perfected, in Germany and are there- fore difficult to obtain now. The liar rison law, the income tax law, the war tax, all have hit the druggists particularly hard. and MT. Chamber lain expressed the opinion that the druggists perhaps suffered more from this combination of circumstances than has any other one class of busi- ness men.
 Get Women to Help.
 That the association should take advantage of the power and the ac- tivities of the women's clubs ot the state, in it's efforts to better condi- tions and to bring about the adoption of beneficial laws, was the sugges- ton made by the secretary, Miss Mary Fein of Little Rock. Miss Fein insisted that the women's clubs are a wonderfully strong means of ob- taining good laws, and of bringing about more satisfactory conditions in every walk of life and in any line of business.

TRAVELLING MEN FAVOR GIVING
 WOMEN BALLOT
New York Organization Ex- pected to Endorse Woman
 Suffrage at State Meet.

New York. May 12.-In their Work for suffrage, women have the interest and to a large extent the support or
 the Associated Commercial Travellers
 of America, the secretary of the or
 ganization, Marc M. Reynolds, said to- day. Travelling men are working TOT their own right to vote and so are especially able to sympathize. "We are trying to have special pro- visions made so that the travelling man who has met certain requirements or legislation may vote though absent from home," says MT. Reynolds, ana
 are hoping to have the New York state constitutional convention ap-
 prove this measure. In five states of the union such provision is made for travelling men. and we are now oeter-
 mined to get the same right for the
 men of New York;
 Because of the similarity in the po- sition of the travelling men and the women of this state the question Of woman suffrage came up at the re- cent meeting of the Associated Com
 merci2l Travellers of America and a lively discussion followed.
 "This resulted" MT. Reynolds said, Gin vote to poll the organization on this question. We have about $500 members and every one is to receive letter asking him to state his posi- tion in regard to woman suffrage. The result of this poll will be announced at the semi-annual meeting held in August.
 q feel confident that the organiza-
 ton will go on record as endorsing
 woman suffrage"
