r. E. Wood chairman OF the Arkan-
sas Railroad Commission, and resi-
dent of Marianne has announced that
he will be behind the project 10 au-
vertise the products and resources Oh
Arkansas by running again this fali
another ARKANSAS on Wheels" tram
According to Mr.. Wood, the tram
will be composed of twelve car all
steel equipment, consisting OF four eN-
hibit cars, commissary car, dlhEts
car and six Pullmans for the accom-
mediation of one hundred representa-
tive. progressive citizens of the state
and one of the best bands IN the
state. 1t will be the finest eXhlpltloh
train of the kind ever operated
through the states. Associated with
Mr.. Wood, will be Mr.. w. B. Folsom
of Brinkley, who ran train OF thls
kind in 1910, 1911 and 1912 and from
which Arkansas received magnlhcent
results both from an immigration ana
financial standpoint.
The project has been endorsed by
the Board of Governors of the Little
Rock Chamber of Commerce and
other commercial associations ana
leading business men throughout the
state.
The trip as contemplated will cover
n distance between two thousand I'VE
hundred and three thousand miles,
and while the exact route has not yet
been determined, it is more than IKE
" Southern Lines will be' traversed
on the going trip and Northern Lines
on the return. making many stops in
Mississippi. Alabama, Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia,
West Virginia Pennsylvania, OHIO,
Indiana and Illinois. The first step
after leaving Little Rock will be made

pal cities OF the Union that will be
included in the itinerary will be Biz
mingham, Atlanta, Raleigh, RichTGnd,
Washington, Pittsburg Wheeling Gin
oinnati. Indianapolis, Vincennes, Ter

It is proposed to have every coun.
ty In the state represented on this
trip In persea and by exhibit, II pos
sfble, and to make of it not o9l;y
national. but an international eAposi-
ton. At Washington City, the train
will be parked for two days. and it is
the intention of the promoters, &C
eording to Mr. Wood, to have the farm
immigration agents of the carriers
and the representatives of the foreign
societies located in New York, phila-
delphia and other seaboard cities to
visit the train for the purpose of
viewing the exhibits and meeting the
citizens of the state. In this manner,
it Is anticipated that Arkansas will
be placed prominently before those
who will have in charge the tide Of
immigration that is sure to flow TO the
States as soon as the war subsidies in
Europe.
This will be the biggest statewide
advertising ever attempted, and has
for its primary justification and cause
the locating of more capital in Ar.

gence on the farms thus securing to
all classes of business, isdustrial and
commercial enterprises the beneieent
results that will necessarily follow.
