MUST. HAVE LOWER
 FREIGHT RATES
Life of Fruit and Truck Industry of Arkansas Is at Stake--Meeting of Growers Will Be Held Nov
 ember 2 at Hope.

Hope, Ark, Nov. 1.--Growers and shippers of perishable products from all parts of Arkansas will meet in Hope on Wednesday,, November 9, for the purpose of formulating an appeal to the railroad executives planned to perfect a permanent organization at that time for the advancement of the interests of truck growers thruout the state.
 In a circular letter being issued by the most prominent growers and shippers of the territory, it is stated: The railroads got our truck crops in 1921. The very life of the industry that means so much to Arkansas is threatened unless we combine our ef- forts and procure a reduction in ex- press and freight rates before plant ing time for the 1922 crops. Railroad executives are big business men who would not knowingly kill the goose that lays the golden eggs therefore, let us provide a comprehensive brief of our case and present it to them in an effort to procure their recommen- dation to the Interstate Commerce Commission for lower freight and ex- press rates. It is a fight for the very existence of the truck and fruit growing industries"
 The prime movers in the project are the big growers and shippers thru out the state who have come to real ize that unless assurance is given that freight rates will be reduced the acre age planted to truck this year will be so materially cut that the tonnage will amount to very little. They point out the fact that it has taken years and years to build up the in- dustry to it's present volume, that more rapid progress has been made during the last few years and that Arkansas, with favorable transpor- tation facilities. bids fair to become the leading fruit and truck growing state of the union, but that this work will come to naught if the growers turn back to cotton as money crop.
 The meeting will be open to the growers and shippers of cantaloupes, water melons, tomatoes, radishes, beans, peaches, apples and straw berries. The sessions will be held at the Hope Chamber of Commerce rooms
 The circular letter being issued is signed by Bert Johnson, Nashville; IT. M Stephens, Blevins; H. c. Pride, Horatio; Board of Trade, Blew ins, and Chamber of Commerce, Hope.

DISARMAMENT
 A NECESSITY
Josephus Daniels, Former Secretary of Navy, Believes Must Have It to Put Country on Stable Basis
 Has Hope in Conference.

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 29.--Had the United States entered the league of nations the poor business condi- tion and wave of unemployment this country is now experiencing would have been avoided and there would have been no necessity for holding the conference on limitation of arma- ment and Far Eastern questions scheduled next month, in the opinion of Josephus Daniels, former secre- tary of the navy, who is here for a few days on speaking tour of this section.
 "To my mind disarmament is now a necessity" the former secretary de- clared. "We must have it in order to decrease taxes and put the economic condition of the country back on a stable basis. I believe the approach ing conference will prove success in some degree at least, but if it fails, it will be necessary for the United States to build up a greater navy"

An exhibit at the poultry show which has not been mentioned was a hen placed on exhibition by Mrs. K. F. Ford. This "Biddy" would not get very far with the poultry judge who was looking after the characteristics of the standard breeds, but the record she made as an egg producing machine challenged the attention of all who visited the show. In her first year she laid a total of 22S eggs, and of this number 30 were double yolk. The first egg was laid on February 4, 1920, and the last on October 13 of the same year. This year to date sine has laid POI eggs, the first being laid m February 28, 1921, and she is still laying.
