BROUGH IN SECOND PLACE.
Virgil C.. Petite Leads With l4 Mem.
 Orial Addresses to Elks.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, Aug. 12.-An orato, IS Tn one respect at least similar to a prize fighter or race horse-when he has gained reputation, he is in con- stant demand. A few years ago a young banker of Jonesboro delivered a memorial address at the Elks Lodge, He made such hit that the followino year he was invited to deliver the ad. dress at the Little Rock lodge. His fame spread rapidly and every wear since that time he has had many more invitations than he could accept. In IA years Virgil c. Petite, now of Lit tie Rock, has delivered II Elks mem orial addresses in six states. He al- ready has three invitations for the an- nual address next December and while he has not accepted either, he is in- cclined toward Mayfeld, Ky, which was his boyhood home. MT. Pettie's mem orial address is recognized by all as an oratorical gem. Former Governor Charles H. Brough is running him n close second, with nine consecutive an- nual addresses.

SOVIET YIELDS FOOD CONTROL.
American Administration Wins All
 Points in Agreement.

Riga, Aug. l9.-Control by the American relief administration of food distribution in the famine districts of Russia was agreed to in principle to- day by the soviet famine relief com mittee.
 The agreement was reached in nego- tiations with Walter Lyman Brown, European director of the American re- lief administration, which began here Wednesday,
 Methods of applying American con- trol, local administration and other de- tails were not taken up today, but are to be considered at a conference to be held next week.
 Following the conclusion of today's meeting there appeared to be no in- surmountable obstacle to keep the American relief administration from working in harmony with the soviet government and Russian non-parti- san committee on foreign relief.
 M. Litvinoff also accepted the pro- posal that the American relief admin istration be given sanitary control in the famine districts in order to guard against cholera, in case such author ity IS asked. He also guaranteed per- sonal safety and freedom of communi- cation to American relief workers, to- gether with equal priority with Rus sian famine relief organizations with regard to transportation The soviet authorities are to pay transportation charges from ports to interior destina- tions.
 The main point of contest now ap- pears to be the apprehension of the Bolshevili that the Americans might place active political opponents of the soviet into posts where they would control the Russian committees on whom the actual distribution of American food would fall
