WOULD CONTINUE THE FAIR
Arkansas Would Continue Worlds
 Fair Through Next Year.

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-(Special.)- Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade in Arkansas have been appealed to by the Salt Lake Chamber to assist in a movement to induce the Commits Sioners of the Panama-Pacific Exposi- tiOn tC continue the worlds fair at Frisco through the year 1916. Good arguments are offered in support of it. The attendance has been large, al ready more than 10,000,OOO paid ad- missions, and there are millions of people who cannot go this year who would go next. This is due to the war in Europe which has absolutely stopped foreign travel, and diverted it to the West. The policy of "See Am erica First" formerly only a theory, has become necessity for those who travel, for there is no other place to. go, in safety.
 There have been hundreds of Ark ansas citizens at the San Francisco fair, and other hundreds are going, effectually disproving the persistens cry of hard times. Still there are many who do not feel able to go this year, who will go in 1916 should the Exposition be held over.

USE COTTON GOODS

 Operation With Grower.

Fayetteville, Aug. 27--While every body is working hard to help Arkan- sas raise the things she eats, why not let all join hands in movement te, get Arkansas to wearing the cotto.. she raises? If put into practice the latter slogan would place the balance of trade on the Arkansas side of the ledger and everybody, farmer, banker and merchant would be more prosper out. Tets not only practice cctton but preach it by wearing cotton goods. Many beautiful garments can be made from the voiles, crepes. poplin cloth, percales, ginghams, linens, cotton. whipcord. puques and organdies. The extension division of the University of Arkansas suggests general move ment to get Arkansas folks in the hab- 1t of wearing cotton goods where these fabrics will conveniently sub stitute for silks. linens and woolens.

POLITICS MOVING SLOWLY
But There are No Complaints About
 it from Candidates.

Little Rock. Aug. 27.-(Speciai.)- Politics are moving slowly, but there has not been a great amount eff com plaint about it. There have been nc more announcements for governor and the only withdrawal among those mentioned as possibilities is Repre-- entative J. Monroe Smith of Ashley. Congressman Caraway, Gov. Hays, U. S. Marshal Walls, and few others are still flirting with the situation, ana something definite is expected iron. them soon.
 One thing that is certain from tine manner in which the campaign has started out, and that is that this will be unique in the small amount of money that will be spent by the candi- dates. It is the avowed purpose os some of the candidates to discourage the policy that had prevailed for sey- eral campaigns of spending money like water-amounts so staggering in their alleged totals in some instances that it is almost unbelievable a man should spend six times the salary re- ceived from the office for the GorlOtru; pleasure of being known as Governor of Arkansas. But the purse strings are to be drawn close this time. ana hangers-on and professional political
 
 In the first place, none e. the men offered so far is rich, and in the sec Ond place there has been such revol- sion of public sentiment that the pro- fligate use of money by any candidate would not be looked upon with favor.
