CONVENTION WILL
REVISE ORGANIC LAW
After Stormy Session Constitu-
tional Convention Votes to
Remain in Session

Little Rock, July 1.-The
Arkansas Constitutional Con.
Vention which reconvened al
noon today, decided late this
afternoon to continue in ses-
sion. The vote was 55 to AZ,
with IL delegates absent. The
vote followed an afternoon of
violent debate. Some of the
delegates wished to adjourn
sine die and others until Oc-
tober of next year.
After voting to remain in
session the convention adjourn
ed for the day. 1t was indi-
Gated that those who favor adj
journment will continue their
efforts, and that also an attack
will be made on the legality of
the convention.
The fight for a continuous
session of the convention was
led by Col. j. w. House of Pu-
laski and Judge Jeptha H.
Evans of Logan county. The
fight for adjournment to Oc-
tober, 1919 or sine die, was
ehampioend by Delegate Eos
ter of Cleburne county and del
egate Hays of Johnson. In the
course of his argument against
adjournment Judge Evans read
a letter from Gov. Brough stat
ing that in his opinion, from
many tours of the state the peo-
pie were in favor of a new con.
stitution.
M. M. Rutherford and j. B.
McCaleb, delegates from hide
pendence county, both voted
for the resolution to adjourn
sine die.

Somewhere in France.

Dear Parents.-Since my
last letter, am learning more
and more what war is.
We are in the service of the
British now and you can bet
our eats are somewhat differ
ent. Now don't get excited
when | tell you | sit in my car
and see shells bursting. You
can imagine the noise of those
nine inch boys passing over
head.
Upon arriving at this place l
met one of my old Camp G..
friends and while we were
talking, Fritz took a notion to
drop a few bombs on us, but
thanks to our planes and air
craft guns they did us no harm.
Tis thrilling spectacle to
see the shells bursting high up
IN the heavens. We were visit
ed by couple of British nurs-
es, one being Irish, and say it
was a scream to hear her talk.
She says, land here I've
been on this bloody old train
10 weeks and Fritz, the old
divil, won't give us any rest.
We missed you in the dugout
and where were your"
told her that | didn't think
OF the dug out that it was too
interesting, and she says, may
God 'elp us when We ave seen
three years of it you will well
come them"
Am feeling perfectly we'll
miss few things in the way of
eats sometimes. Write me Of
ten and do not worry for | am

CHANGE LOCAL TIME

j. w. Daniels, scperintend-
ent of the White River Division
has Authorized the Cushman
local to leave Newport at 12:-
As in the afternoon, instead of
l1:45 a. m. as it formerly did.
This arrangement will make
it possible to make connection
with the local coming from
Little Rock. The local will

day and everything is very
quite. We are awaiting orders
for another trip; never know
what minute, so we have to be
ready at all times.
We never get any news of
any kind. Sometimes we hear
the booming of the. big guns
somewhere. One morning re-
Gently some boys came running
down to my car and asked me
if the roaring they heard was
guns. | laughed and told them
it was only some Frenchmen
blasting stone for a building,
but it did not satisfy them by
any means.
Had to stop and show some
French people the train. They
come in great droves every
Sunday. Some of them have
been shown thru four or five
times already. They make very
good Interpreters for the new
er ones.
| made a visit to see a sick
child this morning. The peo-
pie are very grateful for our
services as the French doctors
are all in the war service.
Quite contrast to some of our
American NJ. DIS. whose only
excuse is that they have fami-
lies of their own to take care
of. Am wondering when this
is over what their attitude to-
ward the doctors who left their
families, gave up the comforts
OF home to do their bit for the
love of humanity. The people
of America cannot realize
what war is until it is brought
TO their shores. They know
nothing of suffering and hard
ships. Some of the pictures |
have seen would harden the
heart of any man who has the
least spark of manhood. Wish
| could tell you lots of things.
Am we'll and will always be
glad of having the chance to
do my bit. Have not had a
letter from you since leaving
the States.
Your loving son,

ing pillow winch is double, so
constructed that when one
pillow is in use, the other is up
side down. They are made to
rotate on a shaft so that when
the end of the furroW is reach
ed they simply revolve the
pillow and use the same furrow.
Whether or not this is borrow
ed from the Yankee | do not
know. In one of my rambles
one afternoon | passed a black
smith shop and what should |
see but a Deering binder, and
two or three Mccormack now
ers? After seeing the luxri-
ant vegetation, | must confess
there is no such thing as wear
ing out of soil where it is treat
ed right. This soil has been in
cultivation for ages and ages,
and to look at it now, one
would say that it was almost
Virgin. The old (Ohateaus)
Mansions impress me very
much; are built of stone and
date back many ages. These
simple folk are vary much i'm
pressed with our train, as it is
SO much more modern and larg-
er than their own. Think | gave
you a description of theirs in
one of my past letters.
Am very much in love with
the children. They are very
bright and are not backward
like our countryside children.
Can you picture a dozen of
them clinging to me teaching
me French? They are far bet
ter instructors than the adults,
as they speak more distinctly
and slow. The older ones rat
tie off like a graphaphone. The
little ones certainly pick up
English quickly. | showed

worry about me.

changed stations since writing
you last. Are now somewh ere
in the interior of France, side
tracked close by a small village
and you might say we are
somewhat in the attitude of
Robinson Crusoe, only there

hardly know there is such a
thing; never get any news of
any description. tbs a fact
that you at home know more
of the war than we.
Our present location is far
different from the last. The
people are very kind and gen.
erous and do not try to hold US
up for eats. Am very pleasant
ly surprised in the pretty herds
Of cattle. All are white and

pastures have a superabundan-
ce of grasses and sweetclover.
The people are very thrifty
and industrious; every avail
able spot is in cultivation, and
their vineyards are certainly
pretty to look upon.

Arizonians Will be Given
 Chance to Inspect Tro- phies, Equipment and Oth- CT Features of Interest

A new and decidedly timely and in teresting feature of the Arizona State fair to be held here November II to 16 will be an extensive exhibit by the War and Navy Departments of the Federal government.
 This information was contained in the Official Bulletin of the govern ment issued at Washington. a copy of which was received at the Phoenix postoffice yesterday. The publication stated that the United States will dis play exhibits on the circuits of the larger fairs to be held throughout the country this fall, and the dates of the Arizona State fair as given above We're included in the list.
 Five circuits of the larger fairs and eNpositions throughout the country have been planned. The joint com- mittee on government exhibits, repre- senting the departments of agriculture, war. navy, interior and commerce, the food administration and the committee on public information, has adopted tn., revised itinerary for a display of eX- hibits representing the war time and other activities of the federal agencies
 As might be expected, the govern ment's participation in the Arizona State fair will aid greatly to the at tractiveness of this enterprise. Par ticularly is this true of the exhibitions that will be made by the war and navy departments in which especial inter- est will undoubtedly center.
