wv L Nv DtA 49,
Little Rock, Aug. 1.-Arkansas
farmers should lose no time in pre-
pairing for an outbreak of the cot
ton army worm which is expected
to visit the state this year. Specl-
mems Of the insect sent to the State
Plant Board yesterday by G. G.
Bowles of Desha county indicate
that it has already been in the state
at least a month and the second
generation Of the worm will make
it's appearance in a few weeks. The
board recommends the use of poison
to prevent the ravages of the pest.
1t is said that it Will probably not
pay to make applications of the poi
son after the first week in Septem-
Der. II is to be applied by busting
as is being done for the boil weevil,
using either calcium ~arsenate or
arsenic of lead at the rate of one
pound per acre for every foot growth
OF the plant. If the field of cotton
is three feet high it Will require
three pounds of poison to the acre.

TONY MDONALDS Case WILL
Be INVESTIGATED BY SPECIAL
SESSION OF THE GRAND JURY

Der term of court and that just as
soon as service might be had upon
the accused, the court would then
announce a revised bond to be sup
piled, suspending the 100000 bond
that was executed for the young
preliminary hearing. Just what the
amount of the revised bond would
be, in event a true bill should be
returned at the special session of the
grand jury August 14th, is OF
course mot known but it is predicted
thai it would be considerably in
excess of the present one.
The charge against Mcdonald is
undoubtedly the source of more SEN
sational interest than was ever mani
tested in an alleged criminal cause
in Greene county. The narrowing
allegations set out by the young
m have been the source Of
almost constant street gossip and the
implicit faith in the young woman's
character has created a spirit of
keen resentment on the part of
practically everyone whenever even
a slight election is uttered concern
Ing her. SO pronounced is that
spirit, more intense now than inn
meaiaiely following the unfortunate
affair. it is evident that street al
tereations would be easily provoked
i the young woman's virtue should
be questioned in uttered expressions.
The result Of the special Grand
Jury session will be watched with
interest. according to Impressions
gathered from street conversations.
The court official told a representa-
tive of this newspaper this after
noon that the Grand Jury would
be called to deal with the Mcdonald
charge exclusively, otherwise the
adjourned term would be devoted to
the disposal of unfinished cases that
were locked for trial at the April
term. However, other alleged Grim
inal violations Of the law may
be probed by the inquisitorial body.

Chicago, Aug. Traffic became
hopelessly confused ard congested
in the loop district of this city az
the result of the strike of the forty
thousand street car and elevated
employees today.
Auto trucks vainly attempted to
handle the transportation of the
city's workers. Many business
houses failed to open this morning
through the inability of the en-
ployes to arrive for the days work.
The strike was brought on through
the efforts that have been made
recently to cut the wages OF en-
ployes.

DOVER IS
CONFIDENT OF
WINNING RACE
Addresses Citizens of
Greene County Through
The Daily Press and
The Soliphone.

With the Greene county primary
election just a few days off | am
taking this occasion to say a few
words to the voters OF Greene coun-
ty who shall determine, by their
votes, the identity OF the candidate
to represent them as their next Cir
cult Court Clerk. Upon the eve of
the primary campaign | wish to as
sure every voter III the county that
/ shall most heartily appreciate ev-
cry word of encouragement and in
~fluence that may be expressed in my
behalf and that II elected to the Of
have seen all the voters possibly
feel proud of having chosen me for
the place.
| have sen all the voters | possibly
could during the campaign and in
have had the pleasure of coming in
personal contact with voters II has
been no fault of mine; | have done
the very best | could, considering
the fact that | have had no automo-
bile to carry me around, depending
upon meeting the voters the best !
could.
During the contest my hand, lost
while working at Il saw in 81 planning
mill in Paragould. has given me a
great deal OF pain but | have en-
dured that trouble and have o II
Quoted my canvass as actively as
| physically could.
| wish to emphasize the fact that
my campaign has been absolutely
fair in every respect, have fought
for support upon a fair, square plane,
have had no one employed to work
for me and have bought ne poll tax
receipts for the purpose Of getting
votes I have presented my claims
upon merit and merit alone.
1t is very gratifying to me to note
that those who are supporting me
in this campaign are the very high
est type of citizenship in the county
with no petty politicians among them
to boost my interests. AS the cam
paign draws to II close, | wish to
heartily appeal t those friends to
do all they can, h~onorably. to see
to it that my interests are properly
cared for. Now is the time for those
friends to do their work; a few more
days and it Will be too late.
My good friends over the county

assured of election as the party's
nominee at the primary. Those en-
couraging words most heartily ap-
preciate but ! want my friends to
recognize the fact that the race has
not been won till the votes have
been cast and counted and | hope
they shall put forth their very best
efforts for me during the remain
ing days of the contest. Remember.
too much confidence is dangerous.
1t may be we'll to guard my
friends against the circulation of
campaign lies during the few
days that are left. for the purpose OF
influencing votes against me. Watch
out for unfounded umors from those
sources that are unfair. Don't be
misled, don't be deceived; just bear
in mind that | am in this race for

Railway Executives i'm Session.

New York, August ALI eyes this morning
began centering upon the conference Of the one
hundred and forty-eigElt railroad executives which
convened just before the noon hour to consider
the peace proposal advanced by President Hard
ing with the view to ending the nationwide rail-
way shipments strike affecting $1,000 workrnen
who walked out on July lst-just one month ago.
Prospects Of an early settlement were not re-
garded as being favorable at the time Of the BE-
ginning of the conference of the executives. Pessi-
Inism was freely expressed over the chances for
an early settlement Of the shipments strike.
The railway executives flayed the reports that
the carriers affected by the strike had already
agreed to submit TO the Washington administra-
TONS program.

1T was understood that when the meeting declared

is freely predicted that the railway executives will
not compromise their position upon that subject.
