EXTRA SESSION To

Session Limited to Thirty

Convention and Prim-
ary Election Laws Are
Among the Subjects.

Governor Hall Tuesday issued his
formal proclamation calling for an ex.
ira session Of the legislature to con.
Vene on May 18th. The session is
limited to thirty days duration and the
Call enumerates list OF thirty three
subjects Of legislation for the law
makers. While this number of sub.
JectS may appear to some that the
Governor has practically let down the
bars for the law makers to general
legislation yet a closer study of the
items will show that only such items
are enumerated as will not admit of
any political scramble. A great many
are purely local in their nature and
have no state wide significance while
many other subjects are enumerated
which relate to the same matter prac.
tically
There are several matters however
which are of general Importance 10 the
entire state. Among those subjects
which will come up for consideration
are as follows:
To make appropriation for the ex.
penSes of the state government and to
maintain the several state institutions
To provide for the submission of
a proposal to hold a Constitutional
Convention to meet during the wear

TO enact more rigid legislation to
protect trade against trusts and mono.

This has be n designated as "Matcl Day" in Pine Bluff by the Ladies' At society oi the First Baptist church whose members will peddle matches at regular prices in the effort to SC cure need d funds for the Monticello orphans home.
 The following announcement was issued by the society yesterday;
 "The ladies of the First Baptist church, with as many others as can and will assist will devote the entira day. Wednesday, to selling matches for the orphans home at Monticello The matches were bought at whole sale prices, and will be retalled a1 the regular market price-the price you pay your groceryman.
 After much thinking, and discus sion. the ladies hit upon the plan oi selling matches, simply because there is a goood profit made on matches then again it is not perishable goods and many people can and will buy several dollars worth.-enough to last all winter.
 "The ladies engaged in this WorK feel that they can ask every person in Pine Bluff to buy their matches. While the proceeds will go to the or pbans' home at Monticello, yet no person will hesitate because of thls, for every heart, without respect 10 creed or sect. is open and ready to heed the cry of the orphan.

 .'rhe ladies will make 3 house to house canvass. Automobile and Ve- bicles will be donated; many eau be had perhaps no more than an hour or two so the ladies to canvass the entire town must work hurriedly. n view of this fact, we ask that you have your purse hanging on the hall tree. or on a nail nearest the front door. Please buy as liberally as you can. The matches will keep lndefl- nitely if kept in dry place Re- member. we ask just what your eroceryman does. The only differ ence we ask you make a large cash purchase now. After all, it's money put at an awful big rate of interest, if we stop to think of it.
 "The people of Pine Bluff have al ways responded to every good and worthy undertaking; therefore, the ladies are expecting to sell out their entire stock-maybe have to go back and get more.'
