 Still Need More Homes.
 The Boy Scouts called on the people of Ashdown to secure homes for the boys and found Ashdown very glad to throw open it's homes to the confer ence delegates number of our citl- zens are out of town or going to be out and for this reason were unable to entertain the delegates as they would have done under other circum- stances, so for this reason, we are still short accommodations for at least 25 boys. There are number yet who have not been visited and others who were visited yesterday have asked the committee to see them again. We are sure that number of these will respond with homes, also a number of those who nave not been solicited.
 There are possibly number who could furnish either sleeping accom- modations or meals, who are not in position to furnish both.. If so, this will help and the committee will ap- preciate having you telephone them Mesdames 1T. B. Cook, D. B. MObley,
 
 Al. Russell or J. E. Collins will be glad to have you report to them or phone any of the Boy Scouts or l.. F. Wheelis. The committee on securing delegates have conducted a vigorous campaign for delegates, and the re- ports from every section of the coun- ty indicate that the 0eiegation Is gong to be large. There are going to De representative boys from our very best homes in the county and 1t Will be an inspiration and a pleasure to you to have these boys in your homes.
