LITTLE ROCK BOARD OF COM MERGE ENDORSES ARKANSAS
 ON WHEELS" TOUR.
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED
Tour as Planned Would Extend From Little Rock to Washington, D. C., Via Southern Route, Returning
 Through Ohio and Illinois.
Little Rock

llIlle ItOCh.-
 T. E. Wood, chairman of the Arkan' sas Railroad Commission, and resi- dent of Marianna has announced that he will be behind the project to ad' yertise the products and resources oi Arkansas by running again this fall another Arkansas on Wheels" train
 According to MT. Wood, the train will be composed of a twelve car all steel equipment consisting of four ex hibit cars, commissary car, dinEs car and six Pullmans for the accom- modation of one hundred representa- tive. progressive citizens of the state and one of the best bands in the state. It will be the finest exhibition train of the kind ever operated through the states. Associated with MT. Wood, will be Mir. w. B. Folsom of Brinkley, who ran train of this kind in 1910, 1911 and 1912 and from which Arkansas received magnificent results both from an immigration and financial standpoint.
 The project has been endorsed by the Board of Governors of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and other commercial associations anc leading business men throughout the state.
 The trip as contemplated will cover a distance between two thousand five hundred and three thousand miles and while the exact route has not yet been determined, it is more than like ly Southern Lines will be traversed on the going trip and Northern Lines on the return making many stops ir Mississippi. Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina. South Carolina. Virginia West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana and Illinois The first srer after leaving Little Rock will be made in Memphis and among other princi- pal cities of the Union that will be included in the itinerary will be Bir- mingham, Atlanta, Raleigh. Richmond Washington, Pittsburg. Wheeling. Gin cinnati, Indianapolis, Vincennes, Ter re Haute Cairo.
 It is proposed to have every coun'
 
 ty in the state represented on this trip in person and by exhibit. if pos sible. and to make of it not only a national, but an international exposi tion. At Washington City, the train will be parked for two days, and 1t is the intention of the promoters. ac- cording to MT 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. 1t 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 it's primary justification and cause the locating of more capital in Ar kansas and a securing of more inteSi- gence on the farms thus securing to all classes of business, isdustrial and commercial enterprises the beneticent results that will necessarily follow.

LlsCUM SCORES A VICTORY

Valdez baseball fans witnessed the opening game of the season at the ball park yesterday afternoon when the Owl Drug and the Love-Whitely junior teams played a five inning game, and considering the size of the players the boys put up good game The score was IA to 15 in favor of the Owl Drug team. A return game will be played at an early date.
 At two o'clock the big game was called. The Fort Liscum team showed from the start that they had engaged in some practice, and their team work while far from perfect, was sufficient to put them so far fin the lead in the first two innings that the Valdez team which played a very ragged game, could not catch up with them, due to thenr lack of practice. The due to their lack of practice. The team contains some good material, aud with practice and team work will make a good showing. There were some bone head stunts pulled off in yesterdays game that were inexcus- able in team that had played to- gether for time. but will have to be overlooked under the circumstances.
 Liscum took the lead from the start and kept piling up runs ending with score of 21 while Valdez man. aged to score total of five runs, four of which were made in the second when the Liscum team went up in the air and threw the ball all over the field, displaying for the time all the crudeness of their opponents.
 There will be another game be- tween the two teams in the near fut- ure, and the willingness with which the Valdez boys are taking up the work of improving their playing. the future games will probably show a somewhat different result At least that is what they promise, and they are showing a determination to carry out their promises.
