The reports from the boys and girls who attended the rally last week that they had a good time They say gre that they had a good time. They say they enjoyed this meeting more than any they have ever attended. T speaks well for , town for the young boys and girls to nave such good impression as that. The credit for their good time and profitable meeting depends on the county agents, who are tiseless workers. A number of the business men attended the meetings and help to make d success of it. It would be better if more men would take time off and help to entertain people in this way. These boys and girls will soon be the main citizens of the county, and an impression made on them now will be an everlasting one. Are you doing your part for your town and county? Are you do- ing anything for your people? It is time to think this over.

WAGE HOURS FOR WOMEN
In Many Places the Hour Law is Not
 Being Enforced.

Little Rock, Aug. 2-(Special l-The attorney general in response to a query by the State Labor Commission CT holds that it is not necessary to make specific orders for every town in the state for the regulation of wages and hours of labor for women. He says:
 "In the opinion of this office it is the duty of your Commission after giving the hearing provided for in the act to fix a minimum wage which would be commensurate with the conditions, eX- pense of living, etc. under which the laborer works for each and every in dustry or occupation pursued in the various towns or communities Of this state; keeping in mind the facts refer red to.
 You are further advised that what should be a minimum wage in cer- tain industry established in some vil- lage of the State would perhaps not be sufficient minimum wage in the same industry in some city of the State. For this reason your commis- si0n t seems to nle would moi be au- thorized to make a blanket order GOV ering certain indus tries of the state. but in each industry in each town of the state the minimum wage should be fixed in proportion to the surround ings. expense of living, etc, as above stated. However, your commission finding such conditions similar in cer- tain counties or certain towns of a county could make general order applying to these various counties or of these various towns of certain coun- ties and for this reason it would not be necessary for the commission 10 have a special hearing for each place"

I had hoped that at least one state race could be made without either can- didate resorting to mud-slinging. 1 have conducted my race on high plane but it seems that my opponent could not join me in a clean contest and he has seen fit to stoop to vilifica- tion and abuse.
 MT. Owen knows that I am not the candidate of any faction or any set of men and that I announced for High way Commissioner before any one an nounced for governor. Just before making my announcement for High way Commiss toner, l talked to MT. Owen and he stated to me that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself-that three terms was enough in any state office-and that he eX- pected to be candidate for Governor. The Arkansas Democrat of August 2, 1919, carried news story of my an- nouncement for Highway Commssioer and the reporter states that MT Owen has said he would not seek renomina- tion as Highway Commissioner but would probably be a candidate for Governor. I have wife and baby to support which makes me doubly an xious to win, and therefore I am med ding with no other races.
 MT. Owens attempt to line me up in the governors race must fail and is only a political trick to prejudice friends of some of the candidates for Governor against me. In the camps of every candidate for Governor will be found some of my strongest sup porters, MT. Owen cannot get single candidate for Governor to state that he is favorable to MT. Owens candidacy Practically every one of the candi- dates are assailing the manipulations of the Highway Departmental of them declaring that the conduct of the office should be changed, some of them asserting that it's operations have been so disgraceful 8that the de- partment should be abo.. -,hed.
 MT. Owen states that I was defeated for Clerk in Hampstead County, which is true because of participation in a bitter county site removal fight. Later, however, l was elected Railroad Con- missioner in that district and carried Hampstead county by an overwhelming ihoJoiiIy' MI. OWeH QlQ not tell you that he was defeated for State Senator Ill his home county of Miller, running behind all his opponents, and that since that time he has never been elected to any office which he had op- position.
 To end the argument about how we stand in our home counties, I will agree with MT Owen to leave the election in this race to the two coun- ties in which both of us have lived practically all our lives-Miller and Hen pstaad.
 Although at the age of eleven I W stricken with ;nflamnatC.y rheu- matlsm and suffered th2 amputation of hoth leg one above my knee and the other below d not resign myself to life ot charity, but determined 10 n myself to earn an honest living. aa, atter finishing the common schools in IieHpstead county where ] was born nd raised I attenden Ark ansas College, Balesville; Ouachita College, Arkadelphia, and the Tyler Con ;uerc'ai College, Tyler, Texas.
