Should the state of Arkansas escape an era of unfavorable publicity, simi- lar to that conducted by eastern pub- lcations last spring, it will be wholely due to the strenuous work Of the Ar kansas Advancement Association. New York papers have been cupplied with vicious statements from few dis. gruntlcd individuals, which if publish ed. will start all over again the adverse publicity which last year proed so tx pensiye tO Arkansas. The Arkansas Advancement Association has been in
 formed that eastern publications are sending correspondents into the state for the purpose of consulting with the people who have supplied them with the alleged information. The Arkan- sas Advancement Association immedi- ately got into communication with one of the papers and received the promise
 that before any articles written about Arkansas were published, that their correspondents would consult with the persons suggested by the state organ
 ization If this promise is kept, it will prevent the publication of such stories
 as appeared in New York papers last year. The correspondent who caused all the trouble at that time visited Arkansas and gave what few per sons who opposed road building re- cited as facts The Arkansas Advance ment Association will also send rep resentatives to Washington and New York to hay e personal conferences with the leading publishers, giving them facts about the state.
