CIRCUIT CLERK APPLE
 TO ENTER ARMY SERVICE

Circuit Clerk R. G. Apple is in Little Rock this week arranging to enter some branch of the army serv- ice. On Wednesday afternoon Frank Jones, secretary of the local board for Lee county, received telegram from Gen. Lloyd England requesting him to forward Mir Apples papers to Little Rock at once, stating MT. Apple had waived all calims to de- ferred classification and was ready for immediate induction into the service It Is not known here what branch of the service MT. Apple will enter. It is probable, however, he will go in the officers training camp. His service in the army will not ne- cessitate his resignation as circuit clerk. The attorney general has held that deputies may transact the busi- ness of county officials who enter the army. MT. Apple is now serving his first term as circuit clerk and is the democratic nominee for reelection. After the November election he can return here and take the oath Of office and then turn the business over to his deputy, B. B. Bonner. It is understood MT. Apple intends taking this procedure.

Mrs. Hampton had suffered intense pain during the major portion of the past two years and had undergone four operations, none of which afford ed permanent relief For several months she had been resigned to the inevitable fate. and with rare Chris tian grace and fortitude she bore her suffering. seeking more to comfort and cheer the members of her fam fly than to ask sympathy for herself

 He said that the initiative and refer endum section of the constitution safeguards all acts of legislative body because any act of importance can be submitted to the people
 Judge John Ike Moore undertook to shut off the debate by motion to invoke the previous question rule, but by unanimous consent MT. Nc Gill of Benton was permitted to make his first speech in the convention. He strongly favored the amendment. He said he did not favor. the sup port of anything because 1t had been established for long time He fa- vored allowing the people to judge whether it was good. Replying to the assertion that there would be more liability for graft in a single house MT. McGill said that all de- pends upon the ability, honor and patriotism of the men elected and the people could be depended upon to elect the right sort of men. He denied that the section contained rad ical departures and said that it merely provides for one branch of the legislature, instead of two, and that all members of the convention favor the split session. and that if it is good, he favored leaving it up to the people.
 MT. Jones of Jackson declared this to be a truly democratic measure because it left everything up to the people. He went into the history of other reforms, and asked the con- vention what would be the condition today If nothing new had ever been tried.
 Mr. Williamson of Drew asked the convention to make Arkansas the first to strike a blow for legislative liberty. He said that the two bodies which constitute the legislature at hence one is unnecessary. He de- clared that if the convention submit ted this amendment to the people the delegates would forever be thanked for giving the people the opportunity of voting upon it.
 MT Partain of Franklin opposed the Amendment. He favored the old system, but in reply to question declared that he would favor one body with representation the same as the present house. or at least. one delegate from each county. He said that the present system would get good men in the legislature if they were adequately paid. He said that supporters of the amendment had been opposing other measures be- cause they were termed radical. all though they were far less radical than the one proposed by MT Dag gett
 Further debate was cut off through a motion for the previous question by MT. Head of Miller, which left 15 minutes for the closing argument by Mir Daggett. He answered the arguments of the opponents of the bill, saying there is every check on the legislative body under this amendment that there is now, the initiative and referendum being strong enough for anyone. He said the amendment now is up for sub mission in three states. but pleaded to have Arkansas to be the first to adopt it.

the number "who stand good" for the
bills.
Everybody in town will be visited
during the remainder of this week and
solicited to buy season ticket. Ev-
crybody who is locally PATRIOTIC
Baxter Springs patriotic-should see
that one ticket, at least, is bought by
the family. "The hero of the Somme,"
Alfred H. O'Connor, who was %
months in the trenches and in all OF
the early big battles Of the war, per-
sonally decorated by King George,
will be one of some two dozen fine
numbers. This number is mentioned
TO give one some idea Of the program.
The town should rally around the
chautauqua committee and see that
at least the cost price goes "over the
top" with our usual characteristic
vim and appreciation of things worth
while.
The program calls for twelve sep
arate programs or an afternoon and
night program all week. More than
so people will be used in the weeks
entertainment.
BY buying season ticket the cost
of each program is only about II
cents.
