Little Rock, April 20.-The first effect of the minimum wage act is to be seen in the Little Rock de- partment stores where boys have re- placed girls in the cash desks, and none but experienced employees are seen behind the counter, who all ready draw more than the minimum wage of $1 and $1.25 per day. It is figured that fully fifty girls were forced out of employment by this bill, and they cannot go to the laun- dries, for they cannot pay them more than could the department stores.
 There may be advantages to the bill, but so far nothing has appear ed but hardships for the girls it was supposed to protect.

No abilis are needed for the Little Rock baseball team in the South ern league. Patrons of the game in Arkansas base their faith in Mana ger Bob Allen, who has been man ager in the big leagues and in the American association, and never has he managed a team that has fin ished below third. Manager Allen knew weeks ago that his team was not up to standard and he began right then to work the wires to se- cure players who could win. He has no players now that cost him anything of consequence, the ma jority being bequeathed to him with the Montgomery franchise. The players he is now angling for will cost real money, but they are sure of being real stars in the Southern, where quite few have shone be- fore.
 Several deals have been closed, but the clubs are as slow in deliV- ering the men as the usual debtor. Manager Allen will return to Little Rock Wednesday and his team at that time will be almost a new one if the players who have been order ed to report to him in Memphis show up.
 The fans who look back on the string of Little Rock defeats take consolation in the victories register ed over the Boston Braves this sea son, and their record at the middle of the year last year, and at the close. Manager Allen is a driver of players, insists on speed and brains, and will not stop until he gets them.

The most forlorn looking object l saw on the Panama-Pacific exposi-
 tion grounds" writes Little Rock citizen who is now on the Pacific coast, lis the Arkansas building. It is thing of great beauty and one which will cause state pride to swell, but just at present it is no great advertisement for Arkansas. When we get it open it will so far out shine the other states that thou sands will be attracted to Arkansas. It is so located that 1t is almost im-
 possible to cross the grounds with
 out going in front of one of it's doors.'
 For the very purpose of opening
 this building and maintaining it
 to the close of the exposition, a
 great s1 popular subscription cam paign has been inaugurated by the Arkansas commission, which is hop ed to bring in the money necessary. Special commissioners have been ap-
 pointed to carry on this campaingn, and forces have been organized to sweep the state like the passage of
 the army worm.
 Patriotism and state pride is the argument of this special Flying Squadron" The state is divided in to four sections, and one of the Isquadrons will work in each of these. It will be composed of two exper- fenced solicitors, and augmented by committee of local club women at each place. The soliciting will
 then take place under the leader
 ship of the commission workers. It | is planned to have each squadron work three or four towns daily, and
 the results will be daily shown in 1 the papers of Little Rock, as well as 1 the names of the donors published in their local papers. In this man.
 ner it is hoped to cover the state
 and raise sufficient funds, within
 sixty days.
 Each person donating dollar to
 the advertisement of the state and
 assisting in placing Arkansas right
 before the world, will be presented
 with one of the souvenir medals of
 aluminium which show the Arkan-
 sas building, and also the state seal
 on the reverse side.

Several liquor houses in Arkan- sas that have existed for many years will close their doors on Dec. 31 and the proprietors will never again, ac- cording to their statements, engage in the liquor traffic. Many of the wholesale liquor houses have already made their plans for opening in St. Louis and other places on January T. Most of the retail liquor men will engage in other business, for fully 65 per cent are residents of the cities in which they are now op- erating, own property there and can not move away. Most of the Little Rock saloon men have begun ar ranging for after the first of the year, and they, as we'll as many of the bartenders, figure on remaining

Changes galore are contemplated in the state eleemosynary institu- tions and many new faces will ap- pear in the staff of employees for the next year The board of control has now spent over month studying conditions in the institutions, and feels that it is now fully informed in all branches so that it can begin to cut out the unnecessary employees, as well as change the assignment of duties about so that greater eff ciency can be secured. Quite a few employees have already been advised that their services will be dispensed with, but in most instances the change is merely to secure new blood in the institutions. There is also a report that a change is to be made in superintendents of several of the charitable institutions, but the members of the board of control will not discuss this, though they tI- timate that if they see it will be to the best interest of the wards of the state, they will not hesitate an instant to make the changes.

The statement is positively made that under no circumstances will Stephen Brundidge, Jr., be candi- date for governor in the 1916 pri- mary. Instead he is to take the stump in the interest of the primary election bill which was defeated by the last legislature at the instance Of Gov. Hays and several prominent politicians of the state.
 Whether an act containing the provisions of the defeated bill will be initiated has not finally been de- termined, but if it is not. the matter will be aired before the voters in such a way that the legislators who are seeking reelection will be sound ed on the question before the votes are cast.
 Stephen Brundidge's prowess on the stump is well known, and with information concerning primary elec- tions of the past which he is known to have, and which he will pass on to the voters during this campaign he is sure to be drawing card at the summer and fall barbecues.

 The Arkansas Bankers association in session here this week will com mend the work of the state bank ing department and urge it's most excellent work as the chief reason that a bank guaranty bill is not nec- essary. Since the banks of Arkan- sas began operating under the state law, and the wild cats concerns eliminated, there have been less bank failures in Arkansas than any state of the Union. The banking department has reduced overdrafts from several millions to less than $160, 1000, and within year expects to have even this margin wiped out. The bankers believe that this de- partment protects the weaker bank without expressing the stronger ones.

 Had the Fort Steele school not burned it would have been replaced by new building, as it was one of the oldest school buildings in the state, and the opposition to the name of Steele, because of the Da- vid o. Dodd incident, would have arisen just the same.

 The resignation of Dr. c. H. Brough, as professor in the Uni versity of Arkansas, effective July 1, will soon be presented to the board of trustees of the university. Dr. Brough states that he will give the people of Arkansas a change in the manner in which those in the en- ploy of the state have in the past conducted their political campaigns.
 Dr. Brough might have continued to
 serve until September, and receive | pay from the state for the idle
 months of the summer, had he de- sired to do so, for the state pays the members of the university fac ultV by the wear and Dr. BrOugh s
 term is not complete until in the
 fall Dr. Brough states that he does not care to enter into a cam paign for governor or any other of flee, and at the same time be draw ing salary from the state,
 Dr. Brough also declares that he

The motto of societies which are intended to preserve the tender memories of Confederate deeds of valor, Lest We Forget" seem to have done their work well, for in the naming of the new Little Rock public school, to be erected to re- place the Fort Steele school which was destroyed by fire some weeks ago, nothing has been forgotten. The new school will bear the name of Judge U. M. Rose.
 The old school bore the name of the fort which was formerly To- cated on the site occupied by the school building. The fort was nam ed for Gen. Steele, who captured Lit tie Rock during the Civil war and remained in command here for some time. Gen. Steele was a federal of ficer. Judge U. M. Rose was one of Arkansas most distinguished jur- ists.
 Aside from being a mere federal Gen, SrEEfE was rn6 OrrIcer in command at the time David o. Dodd was captured, and it was he
