CONVENTION VOTED
 N0T ID ADJOURN
Entire Afternoon Spent in Dis cussiOn of This Question, and Constitutional Convention is to go Ahead With Work.

Little Rock, July 2.-"The people have more sense than some folks give them credit for" declared Judge Jeptha H. Evans, in opposing the ad- journment of the constitutional con- vention Monday afternoon.
 And the convention refused to ad- journ, by a vote of 43 ayes to 53 noes.
 The entire afternoon was spent in discussion of this subject, and there was great flow of oratory, pro and con.
 The first test came on a resolution offered by R. F. Foster of Cleveland, that it be the sense of the convention that the delegates might serve their country more periodically by adjourn ing and going home. There were only 22 votes for this resolution.
 George M. Chapline of Lonoke then offered resolution to take a recess until the first of October, 1918, and by general consent the bridle was taken off and the members permitted to talk as much as they pleased.
 There were strong talks in favor of the resolution, and just as strong and more of them, against it.
 The burden of the speeches in fav- or of adjourning was that this is not an opportune time for writing con- sttution but that all should go home and do nothing that did not directly contribute toward winning the war; that the people are not interested in anything else, and that whatever con stitution is submitted, it will be de- feated when submitted to the people.
 The arguments of those favoring the continuation of the work already started, were that it is a patriotic duty to draft constitution that will take the shackles from the state, and permit it to get out of debt and pro vide an organic law that will enable the state. to make progress when the soldiers return from the front.
 During the argument, letter ad- dressed by Governor Brough to Judge Evans was read, in which the gover- nor declared himself unalterably op- posed to further delay.
 "The governor is willing to assume the responsibility of this action by the convention" said he. "and wants to assure eevry member of the con vention of his hearty cooperation and of the willingness of the governors office to assist them in all matters and at all times"
 The governor declared that he is firmly convinced that a large number of the people of the state are in favor of the convention continuing it's work and would be much disappointed should it adjourn at this time.

Washington Favor4 Few.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Reports
from Paris that the Allies want the
peace conference held to the smallest
possible membership met with frank
approval here to-day. Administra-
ton leaders all along have. hoped
that not more than two or three del
egates would be seated to represent
each nation, and if the number. was
limited to one they would be even
better satisfied. 1t has been feared
that some OF the nations would hold
out for Il membership OF at least five.
Decision on the question of mem
bership is expected very soon. EN-
changes are in progress between the
Entente Allies and Washington, and
officials close to the White House
said to-day that just as soon as an
agreement was reached the President
would answer as to who will repre-
sent the United States. 1t is pre-
sumcd, Of course. that the President
will name Secretary Lansing as the
permanent head Of the American

reports from 33 grain states to the U.
S. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration.
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.-the estimated average
In normal tlmes-to the lowest possl-
bic minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip,
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
Ing machines were stopped until the
cause OF waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number OF persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop. cases of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of dollars "in pocket"
as a result Of the grain saved.
