S1OO,OOO LUMBER FIRE
Big Crossett Plant Practically Des-
 tr0yed by Fire.

Crossett, Sept 13. = Fire starting about 10 o'clock last night practically destroyed the plant of the Crossett Lumber Company, causing loss of approximately $100,000, and for a time threatened to sweep part of the business section of the town. Heroic work by firemen and a turn in the dir ection of the wind prevented the blaze from spreading The loss is fully cOv- cred by insurance, and reconstruction of the plant was started today.
 The fire destroyed large storage shed, nine of the thirteen dry kilns operated by the company, and about l, 300, 900 feet of high grade lumber Six loaded cars on spur were des- troyed before they could be moved.

Farm educators now say that the community fair is the fair of the future. So far as we know Little River county has the honor of estab- fishing the first fair of the kind in state, the Jones Community fair, if you please. Miller county is adopting the idea throughout many of her commun- ities. Little River county should have fair in every community It has been found that nothing aids club work and agricultural development as does the community fair Nothing gets closer to the rural population It is his, it instills community pride as it is not possible for the county or state fair to do.

SPECIAL SESSION WILL
 BE OPENED SEPTEMBER 22
Governor BrOugh Decides on the Date. Will Issue Official Call Early
 This Week.

Little Rock, Sept 15.-September P has been definitely selected as the date for the converting of a special session of the legislature, it was announced The call probably will be issued Tu- esday.
 Governor Brough said last night that he has determined to embody in the call provision for the adoption of legislation regulating protiteering in the state along conservative lines. The call also will provide for the passage of an act empowering cities and incorporated towns to collect au- purposes and tor the passage of local and corrective levee, drainage, bridge, school district, improvement district road improvement district, and water work legislation. The water works action Is to relieve conditions at Para gould and some other cities, the gov ernor said.
 The governor said that he had not decided whether he will include other legislation in the call. but said that he is determined to cover the mat ters mentioned He said that it is not likely that other questions will be given consideration.
 With reference to anti-profiteering legislation, the governor said that he had become fully convinced that such legislation is practicable and feasible, but that he has also been convinced that the legislation must be along conservative lines. He said that he will not approve any legislation that is unjust to honest and legitimate business or which will drive capital from the state.
 The governor said that he hopes six days, and he requests that legis Iators who plan to introduce bills will have them fully prepared and inves- tigated so that there will be no delays in correcting them to conform to law.
 September P was chosen as the date for the opening of the session, the governor said, because it will bring the legislators here while Pres ident Wilson is in the city and will enable them to hear the president.

"Party Passion" Aroused.

Party passion" the president said, had been aroused by the treaty dis cussion, although the fundamental principles of the document had come years ago from Republicans states men He asked his audience to forget that he had anything to do with the consummatiOn of those principles and to overlook that there would be an election in 1920.
 On his first return from Paris MT Wilson went on, he received certain suggestions from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which came for the most part from the Republican side of the committee Returning to the peace conference, he said, he had secured the acceptance of every one of these suggestions.
 q say things he continued, be cause l want to read the riot act to anybody who tries to introduce politics iuto this thing. There is something SC much greater than being Republi- can or Democrat, that those names ought never to be mentioned in con nection with it. t2t is being an Am erican and the way to be an American is to fulfill the pledges we have made.
 MT Wilson said he was deeply touched by the interest of mothers and of children in the hope of world peace Saying many of the children had hail ed him along the way as Woody" the president disgressed to remark that he had no objection to that if it were applied as a name and not as description.

PEOPLE HAVE NOT FOR-

No Man Can Stand in Way of Fullfill- ment, Says Presidents; League
 Is the Remedy.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 13.-Reading to a Tacoma audience today a part of his address to Congress asking a de- claration of war with Germany Pres ident Wilson declared the purpose there outlined was not yet fulfilled, and would not be until the treaty was ratified.
 Pointing out that he had asked in that address for a complete freedom from autocracy and guarantees for liberty, he said that was the program which had been adopted without res pect to party and which it now was proposed in some quarters to abandon. When he asked whether the people wanted it abandoned, there were shouts or no, mo- and cheers from the crowd. It was the first of two ad- dresses to be delivered by the presi- dent in Washington during the day, night meeting being scheduled at Spatt1p

 The remedy for all of these propos- ed as fulfillment of the nations pro mises, assorted Mir Wilson, was the League of Nations, which alone per manently could overthrow autocracy and quiet disorder. A new kind of dis orderly autocracy was growing up, he said in such movements as that which had overturned Russia.
 T am an enemy of the rulership of any minority, however constituted, he said, Minority often have been right, but they cease to be right when they use disorderly means
 The league asserted, Mr. Wilson, was an almost complete insurance against war adding that even if it were only ten per cent insurance it would be worth while.
 The labor section of the treaty also was praised by the president, who said it had been made by men with hearts under their jackets" and in the inter- est of humane end just labor condi

Stadium Is Packed.

Before he went to the Armory the president was driven to the Stadium, where a cheering mass of humanity, including many school children, vel comed him. With a seating capacity of 30,000, the Stadium was packed eX cept for small spaces at the ends of the horse shoe and thousands more thronged the steps and terraces. Mr Wilson said he was grateful that the children had come out to see be- cause he felt the decisions being made now affected the children more than those of fthe present generation. There was continuous roar of cheering af- ter he finished speaking. and until his party had circled out of the stadium on the way to the armory.
 At the armory meeting, MT. Wilson was introduced by IN. B. Coffman, president of the Washington state branch of the League to Enforce Peace. Giving the cost of the war on both sides at$1S6,0 ,000, 900 900 and the cost to the United States at $1,- 000000 an hour for two years, he said that was the cost in money of saving civilization. In addition, he continued there were 7,450 200 battle deaths
 These were terrible facts, he de- clared, and he had come out to the people to see whether they had for
