EARLE HODGES SCORES BIG.

Little Rock, June 2i-Much praise is being given Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges for his part in se- curing the 1917 meeting of the Ar kansas Press Association for Tex arkana. He attended the convention at Fl Paso, and carried away the honors. Earle Hodges doesn't sulk He is a game loser, and just because his ambition to be governor of Ar kansas was temporarily deferred he does not go about with a long face and weepful eyes-he is as red blooded as ever. The Texarkana Press says:
 ITO the wonderful personality of Earle w. Hodges is due. more than to any other one factor, the success of the Texarkana delegations efforts to secure the Texas Press Associa- tion next year. Those who were op- posed to us--those who were with us-thOse who were neutral-all flocked to Earle Hodges.
 "On the return trip Earle was unanimously nominated for govern or of Texas. and Arkansas was an- Hexed to Texas. Earle was given an ovation every time he was in evil dence-and he was always happy always boosting always singing. Ii is good for Texarkana to have such friends"

Youngsters Carry Guns As Lona as Themselves" Woman From Brownsville Says-Many

Little Rock, June 26-Even Mexi- can boys i2 years old are armed and in the army, according to Mrs. Ger aid Mann, of this city. who returned last week from Brownsville. Texas, where she had been with relatives for more than two months. Mrs. Mann left Brownsville when the sit uatlon became acute early last week.
 Many Boys in Ranks.
 I've seen across the border many boys of i2 and l4 in the army car rylng guns as long as themselves, y Mrs. Mann said yesterday. From what l saw at Matamoras (across the Rio Grande from Brownsville) the MeXlcans are well prepared for war. They have artillery and fortifica- tlons and seem to have thousands of men near Brownsville. The situa- tion there has been acute for weeks. A brigade of the United states army is constantly on the watch on the north side of the river.
 Women Frightened.
 One can scarcely realize the anx- lety of the people living along the border. In many towns more than half the population is composed of Mexicans and these are feared more than an invading army. News of the attacks along the border and many wild Pumors keep the popula- tion. especially the women, in con- stant fear. Many Americans are leaving the border country.
