ence to Meet Here We'd nesday
 Wednesday night and Thursday, March 21 and 2b. Pine Bluff Rotar ians will entertain the Fourteenth district of the International Associa ton of Rotary Clubs. All of which means that representative business and professional men, numbering several hundred, from cities and towns all over Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. will be in Pine Bluff for two days of business, frolic and politics; the latter two perhaps, in the vocabulary of the average Ameri- can being classed as one and the same.
 The business to occupy the atten- ton of the confirmed optimists who will visit here will be district Rotary business, and will have to do with the appointment of committees, SC. lection of the next district governor and naming the next district conven- ton city. This business will be a highly important feature of the conference, but the program prepar 1 ed for the two days session indicates that business will not interefer in any considerable degree with pleas urc
 For coming under that head will be speeches s-serious and not 80 ser { ious; a banquet featured by the presence of lady. Rotarians, more 1 speeches less serious, singing, and later, dancing Then too, there will 1 be luncheons, featured by stunts, songs and talks.
 Two Seek Meeting
 However, business and pleasure will not be put ahead of the great indoor game-that of politics, and while the political feature of the convention will be entirely confined within the bounds of good nature, yet it will be none the les swarm. The next district convention will go to some town in Mississipp, and two, Vicksburg and Hattiesburg are ambitious to be the next hosts to the district Rotarians. The Vicks- burg club has openly thrown it's hat in the ring. and in a letter received by A. G. Whidden, secretary of the local club, Hilrie Quin. former dis ] trict governor, stated Vicksburg was after the next convention. Hatties' burg has not been so open in an nouncing it's plans, but about 30 delegates are coming, and as one Rotaran put it yesterday, "it is doubtful if the lobby of the Hotel Pines will be big enough to take care of all the lobbying that going to go on"
 However, Mississippi, always 3 political hot-bed, will not be so fai ahead of it's sister state, Arkansas in this convention Arkansas is tc get the next district governor, and Pine Bluff Rotarans have already announced their intention of electne H. Kemp Toney. former president oi the local club, that place. With good politicians. as well as good business men and Rotarians, putting fire un' der the political pot, considerable steam is expected to arise before thu vapor blows away to disclose thu victors.
 Considerable color will be giver the convention by the appearance Rotary badges to be worn by cacl delegate These badges were receiv
 ed by the local secretary yesterday The design is Rotary wheel, em
 bossed and filigreed, worked out il Rotary colors. purple and gold. Thes' will be distributed upon the arriva of the delegates.
 Stay in Homes.
 It has been realized already tha , housing facilities at the two hotel will be inadequate to take care o the large number of delegates an' ? their wives who will be here, an' ], Rotarians will take some of the dele gates to their homes during thei stay. Thurman Louthan is chair man of a committee on housing, an
 he is indulging in considerabl speculation, not unmixed with req worry, as to how the thing is to b
 accomplished. For, he states, Rota1 ians are slow in answering tn [ uuestionnaires he has sent out re garding the ability of members of tn : club to entertain visitors in thei homes. Their failure to do this slowing up his work, he states. 2 The plans for the two day confer v ence are being worked out completel in advance by the members of con | mittees, and President Charle : Holmes and the members of tn t executive committee with the chail v men of the various committees hay o been holding daily sessions at tn
 Hotel Pines polishing up the prt
 pared plans. One change in plan e which has been announced is ths 2 Mayor M. c. Hollis will make tf d address of welcome to the visitor instead of President Charles Holme I, as was previously planned.
