 Troop to Participate.

Because the Argcnta Boy Scouts have been unable to come to Pine Bluff to participate with local Boy Scouts in the celebration of Flag Day today. Scoutmaster Alton Harper last night announced that there will be no celebration today by the Boy Scouts.
 we had everything prepared. even to the arrangements for the dinner and the speaking at the courthouse, " said Scoutmastei' Harper, "but I have just received a letter from Scoutmas ter Anderson at Argenta, in which he says his boys cannot come, so the whole thing is off,"
 Scoutmaster Harper, assisted by Scoutmaster von Harten, had arrang- ed most interesting program, which included parade by the Boy Scouts, an exhibition at Athletic field, din- ner at Athletic field in military style, and the speaking in the evening to be followed by the lowering of the flag at sundown. The dinner was to be enjoyed as a compliment from the chamber of commerce, which several days ago named a committee to deti- nitelv arrange for quarters for the Boy Scouts, in the business section of the city.

New York Cotton.

New York, June 13.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 2@4 points and sold about 3@6 points net lower during early trading under offerings from practically the same brokers who were the heavy early sell CTS yesterday The latest idea ap- peared to be that this selling was fol continental account, rather than in liquidation of local or Southern long lines and there may have been some scattered liquidations after view of weather conditions and the talk of diminishing activity in the goods mar ket. General business remained quiet with the market ruling around 12.S7c for October and 13.04c for December during the first hour.
 The market showed little change during the carly afternoon, with trad ing quiet and prices holding around a12.86c for October, or about ' points under last night.
 ssThe appearance of some Southern selling orders around the ring seemed t.. encourage Ia little more pressure from local sources during the middle of the morning and prices eased off to 12.85c for October sands, 13.O1c for December, or about :8@g points net ,wer. Trading then became very

WASHINGTON (special) = Pri- vate industrial development of the great water power resources of the United States was emphatically en- dorsed by the Nat onal Conservation Congress, which has just come to a clcse in this city. After 8 stormy three hours debate, tke Congress, the great conservation body of the country. recorded it's official approval of this principle b. vote of three to one
 The spectacular feature of the fight was the turning down of Gif- ford Pinchot by the Conservation Congress. of whose executive com mittee he was member. Pinchot charged that the Congress was pack ed and was met with the declaration that his charge was an insult to every governor. mayor and chamber of commerce president, who had been invited to appoint the delegates which made up the meeting. The re- suit of the debate-the endorsement of the Shields and Myers water power bills--is taken by the mem bers to mean tha+ the big conserva- tion body had grown tired of a tying-up of the co:ntry's resources and was ready and anxious to put itself on record or these specific

 to Get the Party Wanted.

Little Rock, June 13.-The accuracy of the postal authorities in delivering letters with inadequate addresses. has long been 2 marvel. but nothing in the chronicles of postal history will approach the achievements of the tel ephone operators whoj handle lons distance calls.
 An excellent example was recent call. A party was wanted. but his name could not be given. After close questioning the operator learned that the man was "a long, slim fellow with a cut over his eye. and his wife is a guitar picker" The man was found and the call completed,
 A st -nore recent call was handled at New -+. A Mrs. Hart was want ed, and the operator was told that it was a matter of life and death. All the information that could be given was that the woman lived in the country near some one who had telephone. In less than an hour Mrs. Hart had been informed of the death of her father by drowning and was on her way to Newport.

 Estimates that the acreage i'll Can ada was 15 1-2 per cent less than last wear tended to lift wheat prices further and so, too, did word that Oklahoma was not selling any new wheat yet to Kansas City.

legislative measures providing for development of resources.
 The development of water power, which conservationists recognize as the greatest natural resource the country has, has been brought almost to stagnation by the failure of legis- lation looking to it's development. Business men with capital have stood ready to start on the hazardous un- dertakjng of harnessing great rivers in order to provide cheaper power and light, as well as cheaper fertil- izers for the farmer and greater supply of explosives for our army and navy. through the new process of taking nitrogen from the air by means of water power. They have been met with the cry of trust" and "monopoly," until, as business men, they were almost ready to abandon their efforts. The action of the Con- servation Congress, however. in plac- ing it's stamp Of approval on plan to permit private industry to go ahead and develop water powers, un- der a limited franchise and carefully governed restrictions, is regarded as the most important step to water power conservation that has been made in recent years.
 Such men as Hugh l.. Cooper, the l engineer of International reputation

Almost every other nation of any size. it has been pointed out, is aheal of America in the use of water power. This fact, it is said, coupled with the growing demand of the people of the United States that something be done 60 that the co1n- try can utilize, as well as conserve, this vast resource. IS regarded as the basis of the decisive action by the Conservation Congress.
 The meeting was made up of prominent experts in both federal and state governments, senators ard representatives and prominent men from practically every state in he Union. Dr. Henry s. Drinker, pres,- dent of Lehigh University. was cha;s- man of the committee on resolut ions, which included goverro! of a stat.' several senators, and other men cl affairs from forty~tWo states.
