REST ROOM POPULAR
Six Thousand Avail Themselves Of Its
 Accommodations.

Hope, March 30.-The woman's rest room, opened some six months ago by the Women's League, has successfully passed through it's most trying period during which it has been a boon to some 5000 visitors as evidenced by the register kept there. It is an inviting place for women and children and the haven of rest for the tired traveller who is spending few hours in this city between trains. The successful manner in which the rest room has been conducted is distinct compli- ment to those in charge as well as those who worked for it's installation and is matter of praise Doth at home and abroad. The Red Cross and the merchants of Hope have contributed liberally toward the upkeep of this worthy establishment. An experience ed matron is always in charge and the place is fitted with surroundings that make an hour spent there most pleas ant

Fruit and Berry Crops Hard
 Hit; Peaches Damaged

Little Rock, March 31.-ArkansaS' fruit and berry crops have suffered considerable damage, according to in complete reports received last night in the office of c. s. Bouton, chief statistician of the Bureau of Crop Es- inmates. Full reports will not be re- ceived until late today, MT. Bouton said, and he could not give a com plete and definite estimate of the damage.
 Incomplete reports from Washing ton and Benton counties, the leading apple counties in the state. indicate that the apple crop has been badly in- jured, but full report of the damage cannot be made until today. Wash ington county reports indicate that peaches, plums and cherries have been killed, Mr. Bouton said.
 Bert Johnson, owner of the High land orchard near Nashville, which is the largest peach orchard in the WOlAu, CpOl CCu tAdI lOP ouAOA ON practically no damage from the freeze. Although the temperature dropped to 31 degrees it was not cold enough to hurt the crop he said.
 Strawberries probably were hard hit, MT. Bouton said, and it is proba- ble that at least 25 per cent of the $500 acres of strawberries in White county have been blighted. Washing ton and Benton county growers ex- pect to lose part of their crop, re- ports indicate. Sevier's crop is be- lieved to have weathered the freeze in good shape.
 While the strawberry crop may have suffered heavy loss, it is pro- bable that it's lost may result in commercial gain to strawberry grow CTS, MT. Bouton said, as shortage will tend to boost the prices received for berries. Losses in other crops will cause housewives to preserve more berries, he said, which would further tend to elevate the price re, ceived for that portion of the croI which is saved.

FROST DID LITTLE DAMAGE
 TO LITTLE RIVER TRUCK
winthrop Truck Growers Progressing We'll With Their Crops; Have
 Large Membership.

Winthrop, March 3O-(SpeciaD - have not had very much damage, if any, from the frost so far to our peach or other fruit, except that some of the farmers got little too energetic or something, and in place of properly taking care of their tomato pants by putting them in cold frames so they could be protected, put them direct to the fields, and lost some of the plants by frost or wind, or something, that they should not have had. But we will not suffer any from that, rather will profit by it. They won't do it that way again. Tomato and such plants should not go to the fields until about the tenth of April. Frost is too liable to come again. On fny get them through earlier but the chances against it is 95 per cent.
 We have membership of S6 fully signed up and working members, and have these members under contract for something over 100 acres of toma- toes and 25O acres of cantaloupes, which should under ordinary condi- tiOns from 65 to 75 cars of tomatoes, and from S5 to 100 cars of cantaloupes We have all the plants and seed that we can use or need. We are using I livingston Globe Tomatoes and Pink Salminm improved 1925. We have se- cured all the commercial fertilizer that our membership want, so it is up to the growers and weather man. It is generally presumed that prices will compare favorably with last sea son.
 We have a good membership around Foreman and some there are going into the truck business pretty heavy, seeming to have had experience with King Cotton. It is expected that we will have enough acreage there to ship carloads from there and not have to haul them to Winthrop. Their lead ing farmers are apparently much in terested, and don't seem to think they are being lead into a skin gaue.

 100000 Bales of Cotton

Little Rock, March 3O.-Cotton plant CTS comprising the Arkansas Farm Bureaus committee to organize an Arkansas Cotton Growers Co-opera- tive Association made final plans at meeting at the Hotel Marion yesterday for beginning canvass to secure con- tracts for 100000 bales, the minimum to be marketed this year through the new association.

All are members of the bureau and the association and all signed the membership contract which pledges them to deliver all their cot ton to the marketing association dur ing a period of five years.
 J.R. Alexander of Scott was chosen chairman of the Organization Com mittee. Charles Raffke of Hemp stead county was elected vice presi- dent and general manager, and w. L. Osborn of Washington county secre- tary-treasurer.
 The state association will be form ed along the lines of associations In Oklahoma. Texas, Mississippi, North and South Carolina and other cotton growing states, from plans suggested by Aaron Sapiro of California, who organized many of the California marketing associations. MT. Sapiro, at a meeting at Liberty Hall on March 22 outlined his plan. He was brought to Little Rock by the Arkan- sas Farm Bureau.
 Under the plans for organizing the marketing association, the association will function this year, if pledges TOT the minimum of 100000 bales are se- cured July 1. The cooperative marx eting law enacted by the recent leg isature governs the organization ana proyides that the association in thls state may affiliate itself with similar organizations in other states, whlch IS the ultimate objective of the co-opera' tive movement.

GOVERNOR TEARS UP PLAY
 HOUSE OF LEGISLATURE
Governor VetOes Many Pet Bills of the Last Legislature; Would
 Kill all Local Bills.

Little Rock, March 31.-Goverr,,, IT 1T ~. McRae went on temporary legis- tive rampage today, and the havoc he wrought in the playhouses of various members of the 1921 legislature caus- ed more or less of a sensation.
 The net result was veto for ,he university Of Arkansas proposed 9550000 bond issue, for new build lngs; the veto of the proposed con- stltutional amendment for levving of or taxes of personal property for in- provements; the vetoing of the bill to withdraw state lands from sale in an announcement that the $S0S, 900 high way department appropriation bill would be neither vetoed nor signed: but become a law at midnight tonight without the signature of the governor and further announcement that Gov ernor McRae and his friends would initiate a proposed constitutional amendment virtually eliminating local legislation from the general assem- bly's consideration.
 These were outstanding features of day spent in signing his name to bills, some 300 or more.
 The secretary of state however may upset one plan, that to initiate a pro- posed amendment to cure the local legislation evil the course followed by the governor was taken over the direct opposition of the attorney gen. eral, who held that the governor was without authority to veto the measure. The secretary of state may refuse to veto the measure and certify it out. in which case he will be mandamused On the other hand the friends of the vetoed amendment may mandamus the secretary to compel him to certify it. In either case, the supreme court will have to decide the case.
 Governor McRae in yetoing the Uni versity bill, said that another bill pro- v,ding for construction of the bills had | been signed, and that he felt that the | University could carry out an ade- quate building program with funds from it's one mill tax The governor refused to either sign or veto Senator | Thompson's bill inviting the depart ment of education to make an adyis- ory survey of the University. High class Arkansas roads, drainage and levee bonds and the bonds which would never be repudiated nor on which the interest never would be for feited.
 The only ray of solace to local men found in a statement which Governor McRae telegraphed New York and St. Louis papers was that Arkansas would not repudiate her debts. His statements said that the articles which appeared in the papers were substan- tially correct. One of the statements lent credence to an alleged statement by prominent" Arkansas man that taxes in this state this year would bankrupt one of every three men in the state.
