Little Rock, Jan. 8.—Secretary
of War Garrison has written
Governor G. W. Hays as follows: |
I have the honor to advise (
you that your state may pnrtic- i
ipate in federal apportionments |
for the support of organized mil-,
itia to the extent of the allot- ,
ments that have been made to
the state of Arkansas.”
This is the culmination of ne
gotiations that have been car
ried on for months with the War ;
Department, the support having !
been withdrawn on account of a
deficit showing in the property
and standards of many of the
companies. The restoration is
upon condition that all deficien
cies found at the last federal in-;
spection, in armories, x-ecords, j
drills, etc., be con-ected, and
property shortages paid. These
conditions have been agieed to
by Governor Hays. A. N. Mills, j
Chief of the Division of Military
Affairs, under date of Decem
ber 31, advised Adjutant Gen
eral England that the following

purposes, $39„729.68.
Proportion of rifle practice,
$8,061.21.

Supplies, $11,300.73.
If the deficiencies are correct
ed and shortages paid by July
1, another allotment of $50,000
will then become available. The
various companies are being no
tified that they must meet these
requirements or they will not
be permitted to participate in
the fund. The property short
ages of some companies amount
to as much as $400. The com
pany at Harrison, Fred Greene
captain, is the only company in
the Guard that Has no shortage
or deficiency. Salaries of offi
cers and expenses not specifi
cally provided for must be paid
by public subscription, as the
legislature made no appropria
tion.

Arkansas At The Fair.
special to Independent.
Little Rock, Jan. 8.—Ciovern
lt Hays has devised a plan
whereby he hopes to enlist tin
people of the state in securing
a creditable representation
the San Francisco exposition.
He has issued tin* following
statement:
“Jt is a well known fact that
Arkansas lias no appropriation
for an exhibit at the Panama
Pacific International Fxposi
tion which is to be held in tin
city of San Francisco, Califor
nia, through the year 1915.
“What are the people of the
state going to do about this
matter? We know that one ol
the very best methods of put
ting forward and developing our
state is the advertising of our
resources. Can we as a great
people of a great state, rich in
resources, many undeveloped, ai -
ford to lose this opportunity?
“Practically every state in
the Union will be represented at
this great exposition, either
through legislative appropria
tion or voluntary contribu
tions. I believe the loyal people
of Arkansas will not want their
state left out on this proposi
tion, and, in view of Ihis fact,
I am going to request that the
people of the entire state, those
living in the rural districts, as
well as the cities and towns,
hold meetings at: once and ap
point delegates, representing
every interest in the state, to at
tend a convention to be held in
the city of Little Rock on the
12th day of February, 1914, for
the purpose of discussing ways
and means looking to the prac
ticability of undertaking to se
cure representation at said ex
position.”
Mrs. Lee Earnheart, who has-.
! been very sick for some time, is«
improving slowly.
