Provision is being made in the plans for the Arkansas Centen- nial Fair, to be he'd at Little Rock, November 17-22, for dis play by the farm boys and girls of the state and 1 am anxious that this shall be one of the leading features of the agricultural sec ton. The young people have made wonderful progress in their club work and have some interesting things to show as a result of their study and training accomplishments that indicate that Arkansas is rearing a gener- ation that will be a credit to the profession of farming, the great est calling to which a boy Or girl can aspire, for the farmer and the farmers wife are sthe main stays of the industrial structure of the land.
 Young people have much to learn from an exposition of this kind and older people will be en- tertained and instructed by see ing the attractive exhibits that will be gathered from every coun- ty in the state. The county agents who are directing the training ol the boys and girls have prom ed their cooperation in organizing these cIub exhibits and the mana cement of the Centennial move ment has promised me that liber- al prizes will be offered in thi, department and that amp e space will Ee allowed for an attractive display.
 i Several thousand boys and glrs are members of the various clubs organized through the Extension Division of the University of 1 Arkansas and l hope that it will l be , ossible for all of them not

' Tuberculosis kss,lgd
 5000 in Arkansas
Plans Being Made for an Extensive Campaign Against the Disease
 il This G'at2

Three Thousand people were. killed in Arkansas last year by tuberculosis, according to figures recently given out by the State Health Department. 326 deaths from this cause were reported in Pulaski County alone, with pop ulation of little more than 100, 900.
 Plans for the control of this disease. which have heen held in abeyance for some time past be- cause oJ the demand upon the people by the war, are now be- ing developed by the Arkansas Public Health Association in CO., operation with the State Health Department and prominent bus mess men and social workers over the State
 It is estimated by the Health Department that the ravages of tuberculosis are costing the State $14, 900, 900 annually. That the anti-tub ercular work done in the State up to this time is con ider- ed by authorities grossly made quate, and just cause for con cern, is evidenced by the fact that no provision for control IS made beyond the 40 beds main tained by the State Sanatorium.

 the Extra Sess >}il
C,st Approximately 5000 ;a Rd'. ify Woman Suffrage
 Amendment

The extraordinary session O the Legislature became ancient history in the short space o1 of three days.
 It cost two or three thousand dollars to meet and ratify the Woman Suffrage Amendment, and the money was taken out o! the State Highway fund.
 Then the Legislature, afeer two super heated days of perfer- vid oratory refused to extend the session a few days for the puT- pose of passing curative road legislation.
 Str1ng pressure was brought to bear by delegation from Faalk- her; Polk, Randolph, and other counties, but it was a forlorn hope from the first.
 It was too hot, in the fist place-the Hall If Representa- tives especially resembling an oven.
 In the second place, there were many of tue members who fear ed tbat if the session were open ed up to remedial road legisla- tion, it would be opened to every thing. and there might be no end to it under the constitutional limitation of fifteen days.
 Another element that entered into the situation was that some counties did not want certain pro posed remedial legisla n, which would have taken the course of repeating acts.
 Then there were some who in- sisted that new legislation for roads, levees, and drainage was as imperative as acts to cure defects in Legislator already enacted.
 The fact, Representative Sex ton of Lonoke secured the adopt ion of an amendment in the House to the numerous exten- tion resolutions that were defeat- ed, to permit the consideration of new legislation for levecs and drainage-he had an act of that kindhe wanted passed.
 Then there were some mem bers who had opposed holding a session at all, about fifteen that were opposed to suffrage, and a

 Taking all of these elements together, although they were 2 minority, they were str g enough to defeat the will of the majority, both in the House and Senate. that had stood solidIy for an extension.
 The ratification of suffrage for when the session was called was completed the first day.
 The next two days were spent in wrangling, oratory and pers- piration.
 There were florid appeals for the honest yeomanry of the country" who insisted their in- terests demanded the speedy ad. joinment of the session. that the members might return to their homes.
 It was said that the people of Arkansas feared the Arkansas Legislature might take example from another Southern state and saddle $50, ,000,0 GOO b n d d debt upon them for the building of good roads,
 Pledges were circulated and numerously signed that if the extension were voted, nothing would be taken up but remedial road legislation, but apparently there were some of the law-mak- CTS who had little confidence in the "gentlemen's agreement of their confreres.
 And so they balked-it is said there was a agreement signed by thirty members of the House that they would vote solidly al the time sgainst any extension for any time or any purpose.
 Three days is all that would have been necessary to pass all the curative acts needed. s Every member had his bill already drawn. They could have been introduced and read first and second time in each house on Tuesday. On Wednesday each House could have passed it's own bills and exchange with the other house, which could have read them twice. On Thursday each house could have read third time ana passed the bills of the other house, and it would have been all over, and only one day more required than was spent in doing nothing.

new ALLIED TERMS
CAUSE DEPRESSION
AMONG FOE HEADS

WEIMAR, June 1.-THE new allied
terms reached here last night. The
first apparent effect upon the German
leaders who remained awake to wait
for the terms was that of depression.
A report passed rapidly through the
old castle where the government heads
are residing temporarily that the sign
ing of the peace terms by Germany
was highly improbable.
No one would talk for publication,
but every official and every member of
the foreign Office available expressed
the deepest pessimism and resentment
at the alleged cruelty of the terms
The Germans were specially imbit-
tered over report that French mob
had stoned the helpless German dele
gates at Versailles

PRESIDENT MAY GO
THROUGH RICHMOND

Providing the Germans sign the
peace treaty, President Wilson has
planned to arrive in the States about
the first of July and will speak in
st. Louis, Mo-, early in the month, dis
patches received today state.
On his way to st. Louis the presi-
dents itinerary is expected to take
him through Richmond, and while
local Democrats have made no def
mite plans yet, it is thought that a
fitting welcome will be planned to
honor him in the Quaker City. AS
soon as the definite arrangements of
the president can be secured, plans
here will probably be taken up on a
large scale.

WAYNE FARMERS
WATCH FOR ARMY
WORM, CROP PEST
Dreaded Farm Scourge
Causes Thousands of Dol
lars Damage in Counties.

Farmers Of Wayne county are keep
ing close watch for the army worm,
a terrible crop pest which has ap-
peared near Newcastle in Henry coun-
ty, and near Greenville in Darke coun-
ty, Ohio, besides ravaging crops in
many other Indiana counties.
While no sign of the pest has yet
been seen in Wayne county, it can
wreak terrible devastation In few
hours, and farmers are on the alert
for the first sign of the worm. Strict
repressive measures will be used up
on the first indication of its presence.
Walter Ratliff, veteran farmer, said
that it has been twenty years since
the worm appeared in this county. He
said that there is worm which works
under the soil in fields of timothy hay,
the Hadema Dezatatrix, which is SINH
lar to the army worm and which might
be mistaken for 1t, but that this pest
had also not appeared for many years.
5000 Damage.
North Of Newcastle, the worm, ap-
pearing on the farm of Omer John
son, late Saturday, did what Is esti-
mated as $4,000 damage before the
fight was begun against it Monday.
A fifteen acre field of corn was laid
as bare as a road, and a field of rye
containing 100 acres was almost to-
tally ruined.
The county commissioners of Henry
county at once called an extra ses-
sion for Tuesday and will appropriate
a fund to fight the worm, in an effort
to confine its activities to Prairie
township where it started.
Under the direction OF County
Agent Ralph Test. the farmers of the
county will gather at the Johnson
farm at o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
armed with sprinkling cans loaded
with poison, and with other weapons
to fight the worm Several farms ad
Joining that of Johnson are already in
| fected.
Darke County Invaded.
| A farm belonging to Bernie Phillips
/! in Darke county near Greenville was
devastated Sunday, the worm de
stroying a twenty-acre field of rye and
a four-acre field of corn during the
! day. It was said that the worm had
not appeared in that vicinity for fifty
years.
The army worm is so-called because
| it appears in droves which are regular
armies. comprising millions. The milo
winter is responsible for their appear
ance all over the middle west, it i:
thought. During winter of average
severity, they are frozen to death, bu
the mild weather since December ha!
left them alive this spring. They at
tack every sort of growing things
and march straight across fields o
hay, corn, wheat, oats, clover, or an.
other green crop, moving 1t level a
they go.
How to Fight Worm.
Theburning of straw, the setting o
poison bait and the digging of dec
! trenches around the infected field
are the main methods of fighting tn
worm, but the principal weapons, il
case it appears in Wayne county, will
be teamwork and quick action.
Unles sthe worm should be stampe'
out on the first farm or in the frs
township in which it should appear
there will be danger of grave loss t
the entire county.

vote of 10 to 8, the house judiciary
committee refused today to accept the
motion of Representative Igoe, Demo
crat of Missouri, to recommend repeal

The senate fight over the league OF

with the beginning of debate on the
resolution Of Senator Knox, Republi-
can of Pennsylvania, a former secre-
tary of state, proposing that the SEN
ate formally express unwillingness to
accept the league covenant as 1t now
is interviewer with the terms of peace.
The debate is expected to last for
many days and to develop some of
the bitterest passages yet produced
by the treaty fight. League support
ers are ready to fight the resolution
at every step, though they diselaim
any intention of flibuster. Before
the debate began they claimed they
had enough votes to defeat the meas
ure.
Those favoring the resolution de-
clared that il it should command the
support of more than one third of the
senate, the result would be to serve
notice that the treaty never could re-
ceive in its present form the two
thirds necessary to ratification. This,
however, was denied by the opposition
leaders.
