trust you will give me the pleasure Of

Guided by the experience of the

visable that in this new body there
should be no recognition Of distinctive
groups, but that all Of the new repre-
sentatiyes should have concern that ouI
industries may be conducted with such
regard for justice and fair dealing that
the workman viii feel himself induced
to put forth his best efforts, that the
employer will have an eneoura eina

fer at the hands Of either class. II /.
my hope that this conference may Law

industries by which these results max
be attained

deal directly with any conditions which
exist to-day but that yol may be for

LITTLE ROCK LETTER

(By Clio Harper)
 Little Rock, April 21.-The per- nnial game of politics is again yet-attracting attention.

 The Harrison Times launched a little boomlet for Frank Pace of

 cannot afford it-that he does not consider it wise to forsake lucra- tive practice to enter the uncertain
 realm of politics. Congressman H.

 race, but it is not believde that he is looking upon the proposition with favor.
 The prospects are that there will be some interesting contests for congressional honors in the next primary. The retirement of T. H. Caraway to make the race for the United States senate leaves va- cancy in the first district for which there will be lively contest. State Senator E. E. Alexander and Judge W. J.

Great Record of
 States Club BOys

During the past twelve months $500 boys belonging to the Arkan- sas Corn Club produced 1900 bushels, or an average of BPS bush els of corn per acre, in spite of the drouth and many other unfavorable conditions which would have had a tendency to discourage many ex- cept for the leadership of w. J. Jernigan and T. Roy Reid of the agricultural extension division. In speaking of the corn club work MT. Reid says:
 Arkansas corn club boys certain 1y deserve a great deal of credit for the record they have made in the production of corn since, according to the December estimates, the av. craze for the state was only Ia bushels per acre. The boys produc. | ed approximately two and one half times as much corn as their fathers did, and this at an average cost oi 72 cents per bushel, when corr sold for $1.80. The average acre yielded each club member a net profit of $35.42 This is undoubt edly remarkable when we consider the fact that the conditions were SC unfavorable for corn production.
 Pig club boys also made theil work profitable and worth while and the 6,650 members had pig worth at an average $59.41. A ne profit of s59.47 was the averag, made by each boy from the tim he received his pig in March O April until October, when he re ported, a period of not more thal half a year. These pigs have, o are now farrowing, and will ad, hundreds of dollars to the bank ac counts of the pig club members il the state. Last year the pig clu members who continued as mem bers of the SOW and litter club re ported net profits of from $150 t F$268.39 for each litter of pigs rais ed.
 Arkansas club boys are not onl earning handsome profits, learnin, lvaluable lessons, assuming responsi tbilities and the management of crop land live stock on the farm, bu Fthey have given the men of tn state more confidence in our agri culturah development.

 Chief Justice E. A. McCulloch and Frank Smith will be candidates for reelection, and it is not at all prob able that they will have any oppo- sition.
 For Secretary of State Clarence P. Newton, speaker of the last house is the only candidate. Others have been mentioned but so far it is thought that none of them will be candidate.

PHYSICIANS TEST IS
USED ON MOTOR CARS
Stethoscope Employed to Exam
inc Hearts of Machines.
Expert Tester inspects Power Plant
of Modern Automobile With Much
Preeision-Sliehtest Unnatural
Sound Detected.

Automobile engineers in their nev-
er-ceasing efforts to attain the high
est degree of perfection in motors
have invaded the field of surgery to
obtain an instrument which will aid
them.
The Stethoscope is the instrument
which has found its way into the
automobile industry.
1t is being utilized in the final test
department of numerous motor car
factories.
The motor of nearly every car Is to-
day subjected to the "stethoscope
test" before the car is permitted to
leave the factory. In the same man
ner that the physician employs this
instrument in examining the heart
the power plant-of a patient, for
''murmurS," the expert tester exam
ines the power plant of the modern
automobile.
With the ends of the Stethoscope
tubes in his ears, the mechanic "goes
Over' the motor with precision. Just
as the doctor oftentimes puts the per-
son being examined through certain
physical exercises, the motor is put
through its various PAGES and speeds,
the tester meanwhile sounding it out
with his instrument.
If the results of the examination
are not absolutely satisfactory, the
tester diagnoses the trouble and rec
Ommends the remedy.
The stethoscope tests are conduct.
ed in what are known as silent rooms.
The e rooms, though in the heart of
the factory, are isolated in such q
manner as to be practically sound
proof. There. with the aid Of the
stethoscope, the trained ear of the
mechanic can detect the slightest
unnatural sound in a motor.
