 Tn order that there might be plenty of signatures, township committees were named for different points to circulate the petitions.

 Grannis-W. K. Hungate.
 Vandervoort- Francis Cecil, B. P. Lichlyter.
 Hatton-John Harkey.

 Cove-Joe Allen, o. B. Witherspoon and Fred Gray.
 Hatfield Lewis Johnson, C. 0. Henderson and Mark Dover.
 Acorn-G. R. Hale, Peter McWil- liam and J. s. Hinson.
 D. E. Dodd of the Reynolds Davis Grocery Company acted as chairman of the session. As a preliminary he voiced a tribute to Dr. E. F. Holt, whose tragic death shocked the con- munity. Secretary Eastin of the Commercial club was permitted to speak for few minutes and explain that the club was working not only for Mena but all of Polk county. He was just getting to going good when headed off.
 Hal Norwood was announced to speak, but he refused to make real talk. Said he was there to help. After getting the crowd in good hu- nor by his references to roads, good and bad, he lauded Secretary Eastin, the Commercial Club, Polk county and the grand old State of Arkansas. He asked that everybody get together and work together, uphold the morale of the good roads organization and thereby bring Mena and Polk county to the front Or, as the former at- torney general put it:
 Make it the best place in the world to live"
 Maybe you think the crowd didn't applaud that.

 We very much wished for vou while we were at the (San Francis co) Exposition. By night it was es- pecially beautiful. Alice and I also wished that you could have been with us when we were out riding at Genesea. Major Wadsworth put me on splendid big horse called Triton. and sister on thoroughbred mare They would jump anything. It was sisters first experience, but she did splendidly and rode at any fence at which l would first put Triton. I did not try anything very high, but still some of the posts and rails were about four feet high, and it was enough to test sisters seat Of course all we had to do was to stick on as the horses jumped perfectly and en- joyed it quite as much as we did The first four or five fences that I went over I should be ashamed to say how far I bounced out of the saddle, but after a while I began to

Dewey Jr. is a very cunning white guinea pig. I wish you could see Kermit taking out Dewey ST. and Fob Evans to spend the day on the grass. Archie is the sweetest little fellow imaginable. He is always thinking of you. He has now struck up a great friendship with Nicholas, rather to Names (the nurses) re- gret. as Name would like to keep him purely for Quentin. The last named small boisterous person was in fearful disgrace this morning, haf-ng flung a block at his mothers head. It was done in sheer playful ness, bu, of course could not be passed, over lightly, and after the enormity of the crime had been brought fully home to him, he fled with howls of anguish to me and lay in an abandon of yellow-headed grief in my arms Ethel is earning money for the purchase of the Art Magazine by industriously hoeing up the weeds in the walk. Alice is going to ride Yagenka bareback this afternoon, while I try to teach Ethel or Dia- mond, after Kermit has had his ride.
