 With the completion of the highway now under construction and the distribution of road maps throughout the United States, automobile travel in Arkansas will increase many times, and a majority of the tourists prefer to camp out as they go along.

plaqs for Arkansas
 State Fair

Interests in the proposed state Fair for Arkansas has been keen among the business men Of Little Rock. They are expected to take enough stock to make the proposition a sure go, and start 'it off with the magnitude of the Oklahoma, Texas, l ouisiana and Tri-Srate fair in Memphis. The business men will not expect div idends from their stock, but if the project is as successful as in other states, it will be a real business proposition. Efforts are now being made to secure options upon available fair sites near the business section of little
 Rock, for to be a success, the grounds must be accessible.

Senator Grona, Republican, North

was partially to blame for present
conditions, adding that if every one
began working fourteen hours a day
instead of eight, conditions would im-
prove.
Senator Smith, Demrocat, Georgia,
declared labor was demanding double
wages for working on half of the time,
and that one of the worst examples
of "wage profiteering" was to be
found around the cities and the rail
roads. Congress, he added, must
shave courage enough to tell labor
