Possibility That Pink Roll
 Worm Already in State

Little Rock, Nov. S.--For the first time since the discovery of the pink boil worm in Texas and Louisiana there is now very strong possibility for this pest to become established in Arkansas. Indeed it is altogether likely that the pest has been introduc- ed in the state though is will take some investigation to determine whe- ther it has become established. Ac- cording to report which was receiv- ed at plant board headquarters, late this afternoon this pest has not been discovered at Ennis, Texas, which is about twenty miles south of Dallas and is situated in Ellis county. per- haps the biggest cotton county in the South. But he worst danger so far as Arkansas is concerned lies in the fact that Ennis is situated in 8 part ae Texas upon which Arkansas has relied in the past for much of it's plant ing seed, and the pink boil worm has thus far been spread almost entirely in cottonseed.
 The infestatjoa at Ennis, Texas, un- doubtedly originated through ship ment of seed which were sent to that place from Carlsbad, New Mexico It lis significant that shipments of cot ton seed from the same point were traced to two points in Arkansas. Worse than this is the fact that the newly discovered infested area in Tex as is right in the heart Of the big seed center from which We get much of our planting seed. It is altogether pro 5able that the pink boil worm got a years start in that area before it was discovered and although the fiesta tion is thought to cover only small area there is danger that infested seed was shipped from that territory last year and will establish the pink boil worm in new territory, from which new territory they will in turn spread before these new points of in festation are discovered.

MAY EXTEND STATE LINE
Attorney General Investigating Old
 Boundary Claims.

Little Rock, Nov. 10.-With view 1 to briging suit to extend the western boundary of Arkansas, Attorney Gen. 1 eral J. s. Utley yesterday was check ing up old land records, and reports of the United States Supreme Court. It is an old contention, MT. Utley said,
 that both Texas and Oklahoma now are in possession of lands that origin ally belonged to Arkansas under the old Mexican surveys, and the two states now are in litigation over the land
 If Arkansas enters into the mat l ter it will be by way of an intervener to protect the states claims. This would place the entire matter before the United States Supreme Court. AL though the boundary dispute has been considered by several attorney gen erals of Arkansas. Mr. Utley said. there seems to be no record that the matter was ever taken to the court. in the Oklahoma-Texa controversy much of the land has been r-surveyed and in MT. Utley's opinion the entire disputed tract at this time could be included without additional expense on order of the United States Su- preme Court.

America showed the European di- plomats that she was in earnest about this disarmament business when she offered to scrap thirty battleships and declare a naval building holiday for ten years. If the war weary nations, overburdened with debt, mean busi- ness now would be a good time to show their hands. If this race in building the biggest navy is bound to go on the United States is in better position to do it than any of them, bust isn't the idea foolish? Men used to settle their differences with clubs and fists, later the bow and arrow and spear became fashionable, and then the old flintlock Man managed to kill each other in large numbers even then. Why stagger along under a load of armament?
