of Arkansas to capitalize and adver.
 tise her advantages, he mentioned the Highland orchard product. These
 peaches, he said, invariably command a premium of at least $1 a bushel
 over peaches grown anywhere else in the country and are shipped by carload lots to all parts of the na- tion. The peaches are wrapped in tissue paper on which appears the
 name of the orchard but not the word
 "Arkansas." But on the boxes in
 which they are packed is pasted a
 label bearing in large letters the name of the distributor and giving his ad- dress, Los Angeles, Calf"
 The speaker referred to the particu- larly vicious and malignant attacks made against the state recently in the New York Times, the Smart Set and other eastern periodicals. He de- clared it the duty of Arkansas to re- sent these calumnies and to spread abroad the true facts about the state. Avenues through which this was to be done, he said, has already been open ed by the Arkansas Advancement As sociation, and if this organization is solidly backed by the 75 counties of the state and provided with neces- sary funds, it could very largely over- come the unfavorable publicity and im- pressions concerning Arkansas.
 The association, MT. Petite said, would need $100,000 to prosecute it's work, and this amount had been divid- ed among the various counties of the state so that each would have to raise only moderate sum. Twenty-three counties, he stated, had already been visited and with a single exception everyone of them had done all or more than was asked of them. The quota for Faulkner county is $1,600, and Frank Farris, chairman for the coun- ty, together with Fred Gordy, his as- sistant, assured MT. Petite that the could depend upon Faulkner county doing her full share toward carrying out the enterprise.

COTTON SUFFERS
 ALARMING DAMAGE
ATTACKED BY 3 INSECTS
Onslaught of Boil WeeviI, Army Worm and Boil Worm, Estimated
 to Cut Yield to One Third.

Reports of alarming increase in damage to Faulkner county cotton re- ceived here today have caused revis- ions of previous estimates of half crop to one of probably not more than one-third of normal crop in this county. Boil weevil, army worm and boil worm appear to have formed a triple alliance and are invading cot ton helds in all sections of the county. causing tremendous deterioration in the past few days, it was learned to- day.
 While the greatest damage is oc- curing in bottom lands, the uplands are also suffering greatly, it is stated A. c. Wilkerson of Beryl, who was here today, estimated that the aver age yield of cotton in his section of the county would be one bale to the blow. On patch of over nine acres which he planted early and has given careful cultivation, he does not ex- pect to gather more than one bale. he said
 On the Cazort plantation at Palarr, With 600 acres in cotton, the most op- tlmlstic forecast places the yield at 50 bales, according to R. E. Dent, manager of the plantation. Some have estimated the crop at 30 bales on this big river farm. w. w. Moore's Ingram plantation southwest of Con- way is not expected to produce mere than 40 bales on 400 acres, it was stated today. On 100 acres of this plantation the destruction is so con- plete that pickers will not be sent in- to it.
 After saving a fairly good crop of cotton from the boil weevll by use of calcium arsenate poisoning, the Dr. J. s. Martin plantation west of May flower has lost it to the boil worm according to reliable information given Wiley Mosley, Mayfower mer- chant, yesterday. Stalks bearing 20 to 30 grown bolls have been examined and practically every boil found to have been entered by boil worms. Mr. Mosley said. It was reported that this place would not make moro than 30 bales on 300 acres Other reports from the Arkansas river district are equally unfavorable.

INSPIRING TALK ON
 STATES GREATNESS DELIVERED BY PETITE
Little Rock Banker Outlines Objects and Purposes of Arkansas Ad-
 vancement Association.

How and why the true story of Ar
 kansas greatness should be presented
 to the rest of the United States ard
 the calumnies and falsehoods against
 this state should be overtaken and
 dissipated was told in eloquent and
 inspiring address last night by Virgil
 C. Petite, Little Rock banker and
 president of the Arkansas Advance ment Association. MT. Petite, who was heard by a good crowd of both men and women, was introduced by Rev. R. L. Jetton, pastor of the First Pres byterian church, where the meeting was held. Mir. Jetton told of his own experience in having to undergo jibes from his classmates in Texas when he first accepted a call to come to Ar kansas.
 MT. Petite in a very interesting manner described the wonderful re- sources of Arkansas, her cotton, rice truck, fruit, minerals of all kinds, in- cluding remarkable deposits of coal, bauxite and petroleum, her lumber and timber, her manufactures, her splen- did climate and beautiful scenery. Then he showed how utterly the state had failed to capitalize these resourc- es and present them to the outside world, permitting at the same time the worst imaginable unfavorable stories and publicity against Arkansas to go 
 Among the peculiar advantages and achievements of the state, MT. Petite mentioned Mammoth Spring, the greatest spring in the United States; Washington and Benton counties, which now produce more apples than any other two counties in the union, and whose apples have invariably taken first prize wherever exhibited, in competition with the entire world; White county, the largest in the na- tion in point of strawberry shipments; the diamond mines of Pike county; the great Highland peach orchard, the largest in the world; the bauxite mines of Saline county, producing 92 per cent of the bauxite found on the western hemisphere, and many others.

PAYS TRIBUTE 10
 LATE I. M. WOODS

The recent death of T. M. Woods. veteran country newspaper man, has called forth tribute of sincere ap- preciation of his life by Clio Harper, Little Rock journalist and author MT. Woods first newspaper experience was on the Log Cabin, now the Log Cabin Democrat. His sister, who lives at Prescott, was the wife of A. F. Livingston, who founded the Log Cabin in 1879. After MT. Livingston's death, Mr. Woods and his brother, Zor took charge of the paper and con- ducted it until 1884, when they sold 1t to J. w. Underhill. He soon after wards moved to Beebe and published different newspapers in White coun-. ty until year or so ago. Mir. Harp CTS tribute to him follows:
 Buck Woods is dead. His form has been locked in the embrace of the great Makeup. Buck was one of the most unique characters in Arkan-- sas journalism. For many years he published country weekly at Beebe and later was connected with papers at Kensett and Searcy. At the time of his death he was holding a clerical position in the automobile division of the state highway department. He was still young man, as those who have reached the half way post in
 lfe's journey are pleased to consider youth. He was only 56 years cid, but he had been hard worker all his life. He was not a brilliant, outstanding figure, but he wrought well and had a wide circle of well-wishing friends and admirers. He never aspired to be Greeley. a Watterson or Hearst, but in his own little world he served we'll the people of his commu- nifty. But now he is gone where there are no delinquent subscribers, where advertising bills are paid promptly on the first of each month and where irate readers do not lie in ambush for some unfortunate editor who has reused the indignation of some promi- nent citizens by printing the truth about him."

SACACAWEA, THE BIRD
 WOMAN" SCOUT

In the Portland (Ore.) city park stands the statue of an Indian woman A little baby is strapped on her back and her hand is outstretched to the west, toward the Pacific ocean. The statue is that of Sacagawea, '"The Bird Woman" the sixteen-year-old girl scout and guide who led Lewis and Clark over the Shining Mountains" to the 'Everywhere-Salt-Water" toward which her hand points.
 When Lewis and Clark visited the Hidatsa Indians in North Dakota on their great exploring trip west, they found Shoshone girl living with that tribe. At the age of five she had been captured from her people by Hidatsa war party. When she was fourteen years old, Toussaint Charbanneau, a French-Canadian trapper. won her from her captor in game of hide the-bone" and married her the next year.
 The Bird Woman wished to return to her people and Lewis and Clark engaged CharbOnneau and his wife as interpreters to the Indians they would gawea gave birth to a son, whom she called Baptiste, and this tiny papoose went with his dauntless mother through all the hardships which the explorers afterward endured. He was strapped on Sacagawea's back one day when the clumsy Charbanneau upset one of the boats containing the precious instruments and records of the party. The Bird Woman at once sprang overheard into the muddy stream and rescued them.
 More than once Sacagawea proved her value to the explorers. Far up the river when the forest and snow baf- lied her companions and they were lost the homing instinct of the h. dian girl led her on and she guided hem safely to her people. The chief who welcomed thSm proved to be Saca- gawea's brother, who was overjoyed tp see his lost sister again. He sold tho white men muoh-HHeeddea aa1rses- and would have stolen tEan1i back, had not the Bird Woman betrayed the plot to Captain Lewis.
 Sacagawea remained with Lewis and Clark until they reached the Pa cific. On their return journey she stopped with her people, the Sho- shones, and there she spent the re- mainder of her days. She died on the Wind River reservation in Wyoming April g. 1894, almost hundred years of age.
