Eleventh Annual Fun-Fest.
The Arkansas Travelers are to
ineet again at Little Rock June
11, 12, 13 and 14 and the fun
has already begun for the elev
enth annual convention.
The Travelers each year put
forth a big poster in colors, that
tells of what will hapen, as well
as what will not. This year,
they have given special atten
tion to some of their good mem
bers. <|

the motion picture theater man
agers. At one time Wednesday
800 people attending the three
conventions were seated at din
ner as guests of citizens of
Little Rock, though at different
places.
The convention of the Press
Association, was probably the
largest and most enthusiastic of
the year. Over 400 attended
some of the sessions, and over
300 newspaper people were in
Little Rock for the three days.
The editors and their families
were entertained at the expense
of the citizens, through the Lit
tle Rock Press Club. They were
given the best rooms of Little
Rock hotels, without charge,
and entertained at three lunch
eons, two diners and at two
receptions.
Practically all the newspaper
people left Little Rock Thurs
day morning for a tour of North
east Arkansas, returning to Lit
tle Rock Sunday. The schedule
contemplates their return Sat
urday night, but the editors are
anticipating such an endless
round of entertainment that
ihey will be lucky to get back
ty Sunday night.
One of the most novel dinners
was that served at the state pen
itentiary, Wednesday at noon,
when over 200 editors partook
of a regular penitentiary meal
while their wives were being en
tertained at a luncheon by the
women of the Little Rock Press
Club in the city.
Little Son of W. D. Cobb Shot In
The Eye With An Air Rifle.
James Carr, the youngest son
1 of Mr. and Mrs. W. D- Cobb, had
ja narrow escape from losing an
1 eye this morning, by being shot
with an air gun. His older
! brother, W. D.,was in a tree with i
! the gun and thinking all the
(shot were out, dropped the gun
to the ground. It fired, the shot
; lodging in the eye lid. Fortun
ately the ball of the eye was not
; hurt. Dr- Stroud was called and
1 cut the shot out, and if no com
j plications arise it is thought the
j little fellow will have no trouble.

Seek To Limit Foreign Cotton.
United Press Service.
Washington, May 20.—Pro
posed measures to limit the en
try and manufacture of foreign
lint cotton in the northern states
were considered at public hear
ings at the Department of Agri
culture today. Department ex
perts declare that these meas
ures arq necessary by reason of
danger of introduction of the
pink boll worm, one of the most
serious pests known. Hawaii al
ready is infested with the worm,
and consequently cotton from
this territory will be excluded.
it is also proposed to proniDit
shipment of this foreign lint cot
ton from the northern states to
the southern cotton mills. Ex
perts declare that the inconveni
ience to manufacturers is in
signficant compared to the evil
that would be wrought should
the worm once establish itself
in the southern cotton regions.
The insect is found in India, the
Straights Settlements, Burma,
Ceylon, German East Africa and
Egypt. It has reduced the yield
in Egypt as much as 50 per
cent at times. Estimates place
8,500 bales as the probable num
ber which would be barred from
southern mills under the pro
posed quarantine, but the de
partment believes this loss can
teasily be made up with special
grades of southern cotton.

If the reader wants strong-1

statement and experience of a
resident of Newport, what can
it be?
Mrs. A- Bell, 502 Newport Av
enue, Newport, says: “About a
year ago I was suffering from
sharp, shooting pains through
my back. The pains came on
when I was sitting down and I
couldn’t move until they passed
off. I had rheumatic twinges in
my limbs, especially during bad
weather. My kidneys acted ir
regularly and the kidney secre
tions were distressing. I got a
supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills at
Walker’s Pharmacy and I could
see right away that thev were
helping me. I kept on using
them until I had finished a box

and a half and by that time ev

had left me.”
