Fly Paper in Stock.

A man who seemed to have hazy
ideas of what he wanted entered a
shop. He looked at playing cards
and he looked at pencils. He in
quired the price of this magazine and

and the books. ..
The young woman who was in
charge OF the counter became rather

1851 the building was remodeled. and in 1856 the erection of the pres ent iron dome was begun. The Capi- loi as 1t now stands, together with its approaches, has cost about s15.- e00,OOO. The building is 751 feet long and 350 feet in it's greatest width, and f covers nearly four acres of ground. V lthin the magnificent building are the two chambers occupied by the Senate and the House of Representa- t;Ves, the combined duties of whose members represent the greatest gov ernmenta1 undertaking in the world, rooms for the Supreme Court and apartments for the various commit tees and officials who meet at the Capitol, and other rooms, made neces- transacted there. The rotunda, the marble stairways and the dome are decorated with choice statuary and Iaintings by famous American ar lists. Most of the paintings depict S; eat events in the nations history The famous doors designed by Ran dolph Rogers, which guard he last entrance, are ornamental, in high re- lief, with historic scenes from the life of Columbus. The old Hall of Representatives is now called Stat uary Hall, and around it's walls are statues of men whose names have be- come household words in the nation. Most of these statues have been do- hated by the legislatures of the states to which the men belonged.
 Along the Mall are the buildings cf the Fish Commission, the Medical Museum, the great National Museum, tie Smithsonian Institution, the agri- cultural Department and the Bureau ef Engraving and Printing. East cf the White House is the low, massive Treasury Department Building, whila west of it rises the magnificent build- il.g of the State, War and Navy De rdrtments. The Government Print ing Office and the Interior Depart nient are in different localities of the North West quarter Near the Capi- iel. and east of it, is the Library of Coneress, the greatest library builG- ing in existence. Within the library arc housed several million books and pamphlets, more than 506,O0O pieces of music, photographs and manu- scripts. It is a rich collection in ev- tIy department and is open 10 the public during library hours, but only members of Congress and few gov ernment officials may take books away from the building.

 Chief of all the public buildings is inc Capitol, which because of it's tow ering dome is conspicuous from any direction in which one approaches the city. The original plans for the Cap fol were drawn by Doctor Thornton, 2 native of the West Indies, but they were redrawn by Stephen H. Hallett; they were followed in the construc, lion of the first building, which little rcsembled the Capitol of today. Fke north wing, which contains the Su- preme Court rooms, was finished in 1900, but the opposite wing was not ready until eleven years later. A wooden passageway then connected them. After the British burned the Capitol in 1914, the new central structure was planned, and the origi- nal building was completed in 1927, at a cost of not quite $2,500,000. Tn

The date for the state convtntion fp1 the organization of the Arkansas Division of the American Cotton As scciation has been changed from Oct. = to Oct. 20, on account of the quo- , lum courts of the various counties being in session on the earlier day It is the desire of Gov. c. H. Brough tEe honorary chairman, J. R. Alexan- koer, chairman of the state organiza- ton committee anr others associated with them in the promotion of this movement, to have a large and rep rcsentative conference son October 29.
 Arkansas must bet into line with the other cotton producing sections os the country, and put this move ment over," said Gov. Brough.
 The American Cotton Association is ID receipt of letter from one of the leading editors in the South, presi- de mt Of the largest agricultural pa per in Louisiana and Mississippi. He gives true description of the cot ton situation and tells it in a way tEat is interesting to even those who claim to "know it all.' Also he praises the work of the American Cotton Association and compliments il upon it's rapid progress.
 Here is what he wrote. Read it and tell it to others:
 '"rhe American Cotton Associa- ton was formed less than year ago, but it already is becoming the guiding star of the cotton grower.

 Governor Brough Issued the follow ing proclamation:
 WHEREAS, the commercial free com of the South is absolutely neces- carsy to it's future progress and pros pelity, and that freedom can be at tained only through an emancipation from tht uneconomic conditions which fetter and retard it's advancement along line of agricultural develop ment.
 particularly in the growth marketing and manufacture of it's staple pro- duct, cotton, is it imperative that the interests of the grower be more zealously guarded against the en- croachments of the gambler and the market manipulator; and
 WHEREAS, the merchant, the far. luer and the banker, an impregnable tliumvirate of constructive industry have agreed to cooperate for mutual protection and interest, realizing that ire industrial future of the South is at stake, and that our cotton crop, cne, of the worl,i's greatest bney sources. must be properly marketed and financed, if cotton production is to be saved from extinction as a com nercial factor: unless this is done. the cotton grower becomes the prey of those who control the markets for selfish interests. he is unable to maintain his standing as a business man, and he cannot meet the obliga- tions all loyal citizens owe the com munity, state and nation in which they live; and
 WHEREAS, the American Cotton Association, a purely altruistic organ ization, has been formed for the pur- I.ose of insuring this much-to-be-de- sired commercial freedom of the South through the proper handling of it's cotton crop, and has already SttVPQ tO CIe COuluSIu tOIeOA SloWCi half billion dollars, proving to the world how selfish influences have controlled the market and dictated the starvation prices that have al ways obtained. This organization IS to be a purely popular movement toI enlist the active sympathy and sub- stantial support of every man who may be directly or indirectly interest ed in the raising and marketing of cotton, to the end that it's influences may be exerted for the maximu Of good. It IS to bring into active ap- Liication the principles of profit shar- iI.e witt, the manufacturer. It is pro posed that there shall he available for the use of the cotton grower just that sort of information he most needs, the sort required by every business man, in order that he may

Concluding this the editor said. "If the organization of cotton grow CTS does nothing more than to take the innocent children of the South from the cotton fields where they have toiled without hope of adequate re. ward and place them in school where they can at least secure on elementary education, It will be worth all it will tost in money and sacrifice A THOUSAND TIMES OVER"
