TWO MEASURES UNUSUAL
 INTEREST DEFEATED IN HOUSE

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-Two meas ures were defeated in the House, on Monday afternoon, one general and the other local measure, but both of interest. The general bill was by Mir. Burrow of Perry, regulating the manner in which school districts may issue bonds for the construction of school houses. It was opposed upon the ground that it placed too much power in the hand of the school boards, and defeated, 66 to II.
 The second measure was the Choate bill to exempt Benton and White counties from the provisions of the Alexander road bill Mir. Joseph of Miller, and Mir. Ellis of Randolph spoke against the bill ridiculing it as an attempt to shoot to pieces bill which has been of much value to the state. They stated that if two coun- ties were permitted to withdraw from it's provisions, others would make an effort to follow. Mir Norfleet of St. Francis made an effort to save the bill

TWENTY.TWO SPEAK,
 FRS IN FIELD NOW
This Weeks Work Will Probably be the Most Successful of Pro- fitable Farming Campaign Bad Weather no Hindrance.

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-Twenty-tw speakers in the Arkansas Profitable Farming Campaign left Little Rock Sunday. Twelve to go to Texarkana and ten to Conway, whence Monday morning they started the closing week of the campaign.
 The week schedule is:
 Monday-Sevier, Little River and Faulkner.
 Tuesday-Lafayette, Miller and Conway.
 Wednesday-Johnson and Pope.
 Sebastian, Crawford and Yell, with the exception of the city of Dardanelle.
 Friday-Dardane and Franklin, Logan and Perry counties.
 The campaigners will spend Tues day, Jan. 30, in Jefferson county, and there is request that they tour Lin coin county. However, George Fir min, director of the campaign, has been unable to arrange dates for Lin coin county.
 Success of the last weeks work of the campaign is assured. workers be- lieve, by the enthusiasm that has been shown and still is growing. That the final week will be the best of the cam paign was the general belief and not even bad weather conditions are ex- pected to lessen interest or attendance. The work last week convinced the speakers that inclement weather does not keep farmers away from the meet ings and it was said that greater at tendance would have been recorded at many meetings, had not the business men discouraged the tours on the theory that muddy roads and much rain would cut down the attendance.
 Speakers decided; however, that the farmers want the meetings and that bad roads and water will not keer them away. It was with instructions to prevail upon all business men to CO operate fully despite weather condi tions, that the crew left Little Rocl Sunday.

Little Rock, Jan 23.-The advo- cates of more comprehensive l. & R. measure, headed by Dr. Morgan Smith of Little Rock, are still circu- lating their petitions, for the initia- ton of the act by the people.
