FARMERS. ATTEND
 Wffv|L MEETINGS
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
U. s. Agents Demonstrate Urgent Necessity of Picking Up Squares
 in Infested Territory.

Attended by large numbers of farmers and several business men, boil weevil meetings were held at four points in the southern portion of Faulkner county yesterday by Dis trict Agent J. c. Barnett and County Agent J. L. Phillips of the United States demonstration forces. The ur- gent necessity of picking up fallen squares was strongly impressed upon the farmers, practically every one of whom agreed to pursue the govern ment plan of overcoming damage by the insects.
 The meetings were held at Chad wick, Mayflower, Elmer Starr's farm and Providence.
 At the Starr farm a striking dem onstration of the benefit of picking up and destroying squares which had been stung by weevils was shown. MT. Starr stated that he had already gone over his field twice and gather ed up the fallen squares and the in festation was now apparently 75 per cent less than it was when he began. It cost him only 25 cents an acre for each picking, he stated. MT. Barnett showed how many millions of weevils could come within four weeks from a comparatively light infestation It re- quires only two weeks for a new gen. eration of weevils to be created at this season of the year, he said.
 Due probably to mild winter, the weevils have made considerable ad- vance in the county this year and have invaded practically all of the territory lying south of line drawn from point near the Arkansas river west of Mayflower to the east line of the line, south of Vilonia, the line running in northeasternly and southwesternly direction across the county. A few sporadic infestations have been reported near Holland and on Beaver Fork creek. So far there have been no weevils found on the Arkansas river front, although they are numerous in what is known as the second bottom lands.
 The weevils are also appearing about two weeks earlier than ever before in this county, MT. Phillips stated, and this means the danger of an immensely greater damage, as it gives time for an additional genera tion of the insects to be matched out. The hot, dry weather, which in some sections has almost ruined the corn crop, has been the salvation of cotton in the boil weevil sections of the coun- ty, as the weevils propagate much more rapidly when the weather is damp and cool.
 By faithfully picking and destroy ing punctured squares, and very shal- low narrowing, just sufficient to turn the embryo weevils under a hot dust, however, a good yield of cotton can be produced with the worst of weevil in- festations, the government agents de- clare.

RECEIVER SELLS
 LAUNDRY PLANT

G. F. Miles of Little Rock purchas- ed the plant of the Keep U Neat" laundry on Railroad avenue, sold at public auction by Ingram Hartje, re- ceiver, this afternoon. MT. Miles bid for the plant, less certain equipment valued at $482.50 and claimed by Sam Franklin as exempt, was $1,5OO The purchaser states that as soon as pos sible he will reopen the plant here and start it in operation again. It will have to be moved to another location in the city, Mr. Miles states, as the owner of the building in which it is now located will not consent to rent it longer for laundry purposes. He is already making arrangements, howev- CT, for another building.
 Sam Franklin, who with his son, Sol Franklin, operated the laundry until it closed down several months ago, was granted temporary injunction by Chancellor Jordan Sellers last night against the sale of certain articles in the plant, including two electric motors, claiming that he own ed these articles individually and that they did not belong to Sol Franklin, who owned the remainder of the plant. A hearing on this injunction will prob- ably be held in few days and the en- tire matter settled up.
 Citizens of Conway will doubtless be glad to learn that tha oparot;op of tho laundry will be resumed, and the new owner, it is believed, will be accorded more liberal patronage than his pre- decessors, as it is generally recogniz- ed that an uptodate steam laundry is an enterprise which helps the city and which deserves general support by the citizens.
 MT. Miles is an experienced laun- dryman and for the past four or five years has been manager of the Peo- ple's laundry at Little Rock.

ASK FUNDS TO FINISH
 BATTLFSHlP SERVICE
Fifty Dollars Per County Is Sought by Commission to Provide the
 Arkansas with Silver.

Little Rock, July 25.-The battle ship Arkansas silver service commits sion earnestly wishes to complete the fund to an amount that will make the gift an adequate one and worthy the name of the state. Other states have provided services ranging in cost from $5,000 to $25,000, and there is none costing less than $5,O0O.
 "Is Arkansas willing to lag behind all her sister states in such a cause when the Arkansas is one of greatest war vessels in the American navy?" is question that is being asked by Mayor Chas. E. Taylor, chairman of the commission, in an appeal being sent to the members of the commis- sion throughout the state. "We want to get the fund complete. Can you not devise some plan to raise part of this money?"
 The following facts are enumerated by the chairman:
 The battleship Arkansas is the only battleship in the fleet, named for any any state the citizens of which either by popular subscription, legislative appropriation or combination of both, have failed to recognize the honor done the state.
 Arkansas is the only state for which a battleship has been named, whose legislature has refused to ap- propriate a dollar for silver service for such ship.
 The partial service now being made covers the amount so far available, about $2,500.
 It is suggested that if each of the 75 counties would raise an additional $50 it would provide an aggregate, with the amount on hand, that would put Arkansas in line with other states.

THE GRAND.

In "Her Bitter Cup" to be shown tonight at the Grand, Rethena is a girl of the tenements, living alone in her attic. Her whole souls interest is given to the people of the slums, whose battles she fights. Her only aim in life is to gain justice for them from the powerful ones of the earth. She finds employment in a factory and at once determines to better con- ditions there. She and the foreman are the instigators of growing re- bellion among the employees. During a fight the factory is burned and she rescues the owner just before the flames reach him. The picture is a true portrayal of social conditions lav- ishly staged.

THE EDUCATIONAL AMENDMENT

After all, education is the cure for most of our political and economic evils, and those who vote against amendment No. 12 will be rejecting the remedy.
 In connection with the school situa- tion in this state, exactly the thing predicted some time ago is coming true: unless amendment No. 12 is adopted and school districts enabled to pay their bonded indebtedness, a gen eral increase of 100 per cent in the tax rate is inevitable in many coun- ties.
 Arkansas has been making wonder ful progress in some respects during the last few years, but unless we can secure the adoption of amendment No. IF and provide adequate school facili ties, the state will again become cele- brated as the place where the "Arkan- sas Traveller" originated.
 The great need of Arkansas at present is additional capital and home builders. We will make but lit tie progress in securing either unless we improve our public school system. Vote for amendment No. 12.
 Some people are opposing amend ment No. 12 on the plea that it might ultimately raise their taxes. Stop and figure it out, how much could it raise your taxes? Probably 40 cents-a munifcent sum to pay for the educa- tion of your children!
 Do you not think that your children are entitled to as good school facilities as the children in other states? If so, vote for amendment No. 12.
 No political party, as such, is op- posing amendment No. 12, and no Democrat can oppose it and continue to vote the ticket.
 Not one public man of any conse- quence is making fight on amend ments Nos. 12 and l3. The only op- position is coming from the gum shoers." Look out for them.
 The school directors throughout the state should see to it that the voters are educated on amendment No. l2. The union labor forces in Arkansas are asking you to vote for amend
