Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-03-24

l A resolution asking Governor Hays l to call special session of the legis- | Panama-Pacific exposition and adding
 lature for the Arkansas exhibit at the
 that unless the special session is call | ed, Arkansas will have no exhibit at l the exposition was adopted by the
 commissioners.
 Besides the members of the comnis- sion, many business men of the city
 were present and several spoke. It was their general opinion that the lack or patriotism in the state was responsible I for the apparent failure of the exhibit and the legislature was criticised se- | verely because of it's indifference George Bedding, member of the | commission from Hot Springs, said it was to the disgrace of the people of | the state that the matter had been al- | lowed to drag. He said he had little doubt but that if the governor would | issue proclamation and call on the
 school children to sell souvenir med als to assist the State exhibit at the
 Panama-Pacifc exposition, they could do what the men of the state failed
 to do.
 "The people of the state are demand ing an exhibit at this great fair" he said. And they would deplore having
 the building already completed stand
 idle or being rented out The state
 cannot afford to drop the matter at
 this stage and the people of the state
 who are interested in it's development
 know it. For the state to quit now
 would add to the slur that has already been cast at the state in the title of
 poor old Arkansas,' and l cannot be- iieve that the residents will stand by and see an excuse given for this name"
 Some of the speakers were in favor
 of continuing the campaign of getting subscriptions, but the final decision Of the commissioners was that it would be useless to attempt to go further in | the matter by this means, and that
 unless the special session of the legts- lature was called the assets had bet l ter be collected and used in paying off the notes of the men who had given their credit for the erection of the building on the exposition grounds.
