FAIR PROVES BIG
 EVENT AT PERKINS

Perkins holding it's first community fair yesterday achieved decided success, with strong exhibits in all departments and a crowd estimated at about 1000 people. Agriculture, live stock, home economies and farm club work were all exhibited on a scale only slightly smaller than that reached by the county fairs. Rain in the forenoon was the only adverse luck encountered by the community, all of which had a part in the event.
 The lists of prize winners had not been completed last night, it was said. Competition was keen in all depart ments and the scoring of the numer- ous exhibits occupied some time. The fair was held in the school building.
 Public speaking occupied part of the morning. Rev. K. T. Herring, Dr. T. C. Watson, Dr. H. B. Hardy, Dr. K. +. Hudson of Franklin county and Supt. A. A. Parsons, Jr., were the speakers. pr. Hudson in telling of demonstration work in Franklin county since the departure of County Agent T. M. Williams, said that funds would be allowed this year by the levying court and the county given the "best agent in Arkansas When he continued and named MT. Williams as the new agent for his county, the doctor was greeted with protests from the audience.
 A free clinic for children was con- ducted by Dr. H. B. Hardy with the assistance of Miss Martha Gretchen, Red Cros nurse on duty at the State Normal. The cause of the Near East Relief was also presented by E. J. Lang of Little Rock, one of the state managers.

TIGERS, HENDRIX
 PUPS PLAY TODAY

Hendrix Pups with a squad of fel- low students travelling in their supp 'rt promise to mix it with Little Rock high school this afternoon on kava- naugh field in a game which already has boosted enthusiasm to high pitch. Coaches Anderson and Wilson with their charges and the Hendrix delc- gation got away to a late start this morning, but were bubbling with pep and on edge for the clash. The game will be called at 3:30.
 Today's grid meet equals in interest some of the first string games and is the chief topic with the student population, a condition which probably exists at Little Rock The Tigers have the combined advantage of mere weight and experience, which the Pups are willing to concede without defend ing their chances for victory over Quigley's men.

TWO HOUSE LEADERS
MAY BE SUPPLANTED
Strong Undercurrent Against
Both Speaker Gillett and
Floor Leader MOndell.
Special Despatch TO THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. G., Feb. IL.

A change in the Republican leader
ship of the House may come at the
opening of the special session of the new
Congress. according to information OBJ
tanned from prominent members Of the
party.
There has always been small minor
ty in the House opposing the leadership
of Sneaker Gillett and Floor Leader
Mondell, but for the first time this ses-
sion it now appears that the insur-
gent" movement may have a surprising
strength when the new House is called
70 order. More than 100 new members
are coming into the Republican ranks
as the result of the landslide last No
vember
The relations OF Speaker Gillett and
Mr.. Mondell have become rather strained
as the result of several recent Incidents
on the floor. il is openly admitted. The
breach is said to be so serious that one
prominent Republican tonight predicted
that Mr. Mondel would try TO use his
influence to prevent reelection Of Mr..
Gillett to the Speakership. The dispute
began about three weeks ago. when Mr..
Mondell. in response TO questions from
the Democratic side. said several bills
would be called up under a suspension
OF the rules. The right to recognize any
member with a motion 70 suspend the
rules has always been discretionary
prerogative of the Speaker, and Mr.. Gil
lett after Mr.. Mondell's speech went to
the floor leaders office and sharply
criticised his statements on the floor.
Later the Speaker is said to have OBJ
jected to the way Mr.. Mondell handled
several bills
Then again, there is the growing op-
position to the present innovation of
having all appropriation bills framed
by the Appropriations Committee This
took the important powers OF appropria-
tion awsy from other committees, COM
posing about 140 members OF tho House,
| and the majority of them. aided by "A
! considerable number of others. have
/ been fighting the plan since it was
! adopted. Appropriation bills are being
! chopped by points Of order and this may
cause the majority OF them to go over
! for final enactment until the special ses-
sion The plan Of having one appropria-
tion committee was passed in anticipa-
/ tion of the institution of budget sys-
tenn in the Federal departments. but
this was blocked by veto of the budget
bill by President Wilson. Mr.. Niondell
during the last two weeks has sharply
attacked all the members favoring the
| old system. and this has aroused them
to back the movement TO force his re-
tircment from the floor leadership.
The New York herald., 1921-02-14

the opinion land this is the most sig
nificant portion of Senator Poindexter' $
commentl II before sitting down at the
conference table with those Powers the
United States should practically disarm
itself by the suspension of the naval
construction programme which is neces-
sary TO bring ii anywhere near equality
with some of them or to maintain it's
relative position with the others. it
would be in position of inferiority in
the negotiations"
1t will be remembered that this eX-
psanation of the committee reasoning
was not carried in its report, fact on
which Mr.. Borah commented with sig
nificant promptness.
