That fact explains the change. Daylight is saved for recreation, for amusement, for gardening and for other things which would not be possible had we continued to wait for the sun to mount high in the heavens in the morning before begin ming the days work.
 It is estimated that this saving of daylight will save millions of dol lars worth of coal, gas, oil. electric power and the effectiveness of man power.
 And it will be done unconsciously.
 The first annual meeting of the Arkansas Assocation for the Extermi- nation of the Pink Boil Worm has been called by President J. R. Alex ander of Scott for Wednesday, April 3, at the Board of Commerce in Little Rock.
 invitations are to be extended to hundreds of cotton growers, stock men and planters throughout the cotton counties especially to attend the conference, which will be held on the day following the cotton ginners' state convention.
 Reports from the portions of Texas where the worm has already made it's incursions are ample proof of the destructive ravages of this latest enemy of cotton. It is not the fight of Texas alone but of every cotton growing state, not only to see that it is free of the worm, but that Tex as may not be menaced from without as we'll as from within, and adjoin- ing states be threatened with the pest.
 Had Texas realized the destructive nature of the boil weevil when it was first discovered and had the state and the Department been or. ganized and prepared as they are now to combat the evil, there pos sibly would be no boil weevil today
 And bad as the boil weevil is, there is no comparison between 1t and the pink boil worm. They are the most perfect cooperative pair in existence today.
 One destroys the growth after its appearance, the other the fruit ma tired previous to it's appearance. Be tween the two the result is>-nOthing left
 At the conference to be held here on Apiil 3, it is hoped that the orga- nization already tentatively formed will be completed to such an extent that Arkansas may join effectively with Texas and other cotton states i'll preventing further spread of the pink boll worm.
 Should there be any further ad- journment of the constitutional con- vention it will be against the ex- press wish of Gov. Brough and the president, Hon. Tom M. Mehaffy. They expressed themselves this week as unalterably opposed to any ad- journment of the convention after the first Monday in July.
 A sentiment in favor of adjourn ment is being fostered by someone, along the old weather beaten lines of argument that this is not the prop CT time to make changes in our or ganic law' Gov. Brough and Presi- dent Mehaffy contend that even though our country is in the throes of war and patriotic activities are consuming much of the time, money and energy of the people. the urgency of needful reforms. making for the internal welfare of the state and its people, is such that it would be un- wise to postpone the opportunity of drafting a new constitution for which so many people have battled for years. It is contended, at least, the members of the convention should keep an open mind on the question until the converting of the session.
 Committees appointed by President Mehaffy and embracing the entire membership. will be in session dur ing the month of May, and will have prepared tentative drafts of the sub jects assigned to each committee 10 be presented to the convention as whole. Both the governor and the
