Editors, Little River News:
 The above clipping lappeared in last 5ailu,,s u ~A1z Al calls to mind that during the 1915 legislature we in- troduced a bill in the Arkansas legis- lature, poviding for a State Orphans Home, which provided for medical treatment and every other benefit, in cluding education and home training in all it's highest planes, but the wise @ men voted it down, and instead, made appropriations for State Militia and Game warden, and numerous other foolish ornaments.
 We hope to live to see another bill introduced, become law; that was for the State to print school books and sell them to the children at cost. Since we introduced the bill, Texas and Missouri have gone one better and enacted laws to give the school child ren free books.
 We kept the cattle dipping from be- ing forced upon the people, by getting the Southwestern Tick Eradication Bill amended, so the people of the county have vote on it; but the 1917 House amended the bill and put this county in. We also stopped the use less expense of the County Health Off,

Labor Party Can't Vote
 in Oklahoma Election

Oklahoma City, April 3.-An opinion that the new national labor party can not have it's candidates on ballots in Oklahoma was rendered today by As sistant Attorney General R. E. Wood in letter to w. c. McAllister secretary of the state election board, in respnOse to repeated requests to the election board as to how the party could enter the field in Oklahoma.
 An old election law profiding that no party may be placed on the state ticket unless that party polled at least five per cent of the total number of votes cast in the state, at the previous gen. eral election or unless the party cast ten per cent of the total votes for gov ernor or president at previous general elections in other states. was quoted by the assistant attorney general in his letter to McAlister.

County Seh~-I n~rtAs* Nas
 Been Called of is Report

The News has been informed that the county contest and field meet, which was to have been held in Ash down April 15-16, has been called off It had been arranged to have this event between all the schools in the county. For one reason or another the literature containing the program and rules, regulations governing the contest were not gotten ready and placed in the hanos Of the various schools. Now that the time is so short it was deemed impossible for the schools to prepare for the contest and there was nothing left to do but to call it off. It is unfortunate, for the move was good one, and one that would have been fruitful of much good.

THE BIGGEST CAMPAIGN
 OF KIND IN UNITED STATES
Local Man Discusses Subjects of In- terest Throughout Little River
 County.

The statement that Arkansas is at tempting to put over the largest cam paign of it's kind in the interest of the Arkansas Children's Home Society and Arkansas Children's hospital is con tained in a letter received by Super intendent pr. 0. P Christian from Dr. S. w. Dickinson, superintendent of the National Children's Home Society. He said that the Arkansas campaign is larger than those in 38 other states, in cluding such large states as New York, Illinois, and Texas.
 Doctor Christian Friday returned from a fve-day trip to points in Ark ansas, where he spoke in the interest of the campaign. He delivered ad- dresses at Marianna, Helena and liar rison. He reports that each of those cities are pledged to support the cause Mrs Ura Joy Spring, a member of the campaign staff, also returned from Benton county, reporting success. UOclOT OuTlSIldu SdlU l1dL Luc pEOJcCI never looked any brighter than at pre- sent.
 Doctor Christian said that a com mittee soon will be appointed to launch the $75,0OO quota campaign in Little Rock. He said that an out-of-county man had pledged $5O,0O0, to be paid as soon as Little Rock has raised her quota, which, Doctor Christian beliey es will be accomplished easily.
 It is planned for each county to be represented in the new hospital with at least one bed.
 Doctor Christian said that $19,000 has been pledged by outside counties, and that after Little Rock subscribes her quota he expects other counties to respond, and work on the hospital would then begin within three months Arkansas Gazette.

Why CHICAGO IS
LOSING ITS TREES

The reformers of Chicago are re-
sponsible for the rapid disappearance
of trees from the city streets. All
of the trees were planted at the per-
sonal expense of householders. The
reformers had city ordinance passed
by the City Council forbidding the
planting Of trees without permit
which the citizen would have to go to
the City Hall and pay for. The tree
owner is also prohibited by this ordi.
nance from trimming or spraying his
trees without paying for City Hall
permit. Hence in the name Of graft
and reform, city trees are dying Off. A
defunct daily newspaper that was de-
voted to dolly reforms and that died
Of overwork in this direction was re-
sponsible for this outrageous ordi-
nance on account of its influence with
feeble minded aldermen.
