DeveIopments In Bank Failure.

Recent developments in the failure of the Arkansas Valley Bank of this city on October II, show that many of the drafts given by Cashier D. E. Wilson to the depositors on the Mer- cantile Trust Company of St. Louis have been returned here unpaid. It appears from a careful inquiry into the cause of the banks closing that the institution has securities on de- posit in the Missouri Lincoln Trust Company of St. Louis, which were not taken over by the Mercantile Trust Company when the latter cor poration absorbed the Missouri-Lin- coin recently. This was the beginning of the difficulties that resulted in the closing of the doors of the Arkansas Valley. It is impossible at present to learn the financial status of the insti- tuition. It was incorporated with a capital of $100,000, which amount is said to have been paid in. If this money has been paid in and on in- vestigation cannot be properly ac- counted for, serious developments may result. It is understood that the bank owns between 2,000 and 5000 acres of land in Cleburne county, which is said to be worth $10 an acre If this is found intact all obligations will be met.

Diamond Bearing Rock Exhibit.

Guy B. Tucker, commissioner of the Bureau of Mines, Manufacturers and agriculture, has had Prof. Philip F. Schneider, the New York geologist, who has been preparing report for the state upon the Arkansas diamond |ield, also prepare an exhibit of the diamond-bearing rocks properly cut and labeled, and which will be open for inspection by visitors just as soon as the case is com pleted. A descriptive catalogue of these is now being prepared so that visitors can know just what each speci- men is, where it came from, and it's value and use. The exhibit contains, first specimens of the fresh diamond bearing rock, just as broken from the lodges in Pike county:c next, cut and polished specimens of this same rock, to show the form and character of the peculiar minerals composing the same. This rock, while it appears hard and compact, changes under the atmospheric agencies to a yellowish brown rock and specimens of this rock both rough and polished are next shown A very handsome rock of mot tied bluish appearance comes next and said to be a dike of serpentine and chlorite which cuts through the diamond-bearing peridotite.

Hospital Story-TelIinu,

It is curious that philanthropists in search of a novel means of doing good do not engage reciters and story telIers to visit hospitals and amuse the patients. A rich man in New York engaged Marshall P. Wilder, the diminutive entertainer, who has given pleasure in nearly every city, to visit regularly certain hospitals in New York MT. Wilder was welcomed en- Enthusiastically by the convalescent pa tients. and his merry stories did them good.

The women or the land should De the leaders in the Union, because it is the avowed. purpose of the Union to remove the abuses of farmers lives. The men are taking vigorous hold of the abuses they suffer under, but how about the women? The cattle on the av- craze farm are treated better than the women folks on some of the seemingly most prosperous farms in this coun- try. Why is it so? Let the women an- swer, and let them in the Union go after a remedy. How many of the fine farms have all the modern tools and conveniences for labor saving in all the operation of crop raising and handling, while to the house not a thing that might be called a modern convenience? If we are going to free anybody, for goodness sake let us free the mothers of the men and women who are coming up to take hold Of this country, so that they may have time and energy to raise them right.

There has been great deal of tom myrot indulged in by those who do not know a thing about it with rela- ton to raising cotton in spite of the weevil The best plan is not to try to raise cotton in spite of anything but to plant it as a surplus crop and raise plenty of everything else in spite of the speculators.

Bermuda grass is one of the best pastures ever grown. It is nutritious, a vigorous grower and hard to kill
 out. It is dangerous to trees, and
 should never be allowed to get start
 in the orchard, and it should be kept away from the trees on the lawn. It will either kill or stunt the lawn trees if permitted to grow up to the trunks.

The local banks are not benefited by the bears exploits, but they are benefited by anything that benefits the farmers, and so there is all sorts of money with which to hold all the cotton that anybody wants to hold. There will be time when the mills want the cotton, and it is whole lot safer to keep it on the farm or in the warehouse than it is away off in a city somewhere where it is lapie to get stolen or burned up. Yes, we will keep the cotton till the mill man wants it this time.

A. V. Mummey. of the Ramsay

petition this week addressed to the
powers that be in Colorado Congress
sional circles in Washington. %. c.,
which reads as follows: I'VE. the
undersigned voters Of the Second
congressional district in the state of
Colorado, believing that the enact
ment Of any law on the subject Of the
parcel post would be special legisls-
ton largely for the benefit Of the
mail order houses. not the general
public. but at the expense of the
local merchants. and that any sys-
TEN would produce large annual
deficit in the postoffice department,
respectfully suggest that at the next
session of congress you work and
vote against legislation of this char
acter." 1t is said that the American
people write forty per cent of all the
letters in the world and the Amer
lean postal service is acknowledged
to be the greatest in the world, but
even at that there has been an an
nual deficit in the postofiice depart
ment of millions of dollars. II the
government cannot handle the pres
ent business at profit it is a cinch
they could not do so by adding the
parcel post system. which is nothing
more than government aid to the
iniquitous mail order house. If the
square deal statesmen want to do
something beneficient for the dear
people why not make an effort to
regulate the charges of express

Gerald Daniher, manipulation of
the hose wagon, was awakened
from pleasant dreams few nights
ago by A. Loud Voice. The owner
of the voice was evidently possessed
of great lung capacity. and his bel
lowines in the still hours of
night in front of the city hall caused
everybody within the radius of a
block to sit up and take notice es-
pecially Gerald. The fireman very
quickly donned his indispensables
and slid down the fire pole to see
what was the matter. The gentle
man with the huge voice was still
battering away at the outer portals of
the city hall and demanding admit
tance.
What's the matter with you and
what do you want this time of
night?" asked Gerald.
The Voice and its owner were
both somewhat unsteady, and were
accompanied by small fox terrier
with an abbreviated tail. The voice
then spake and said:
Il want a license for me dog;
amt this the joint where you issue
documents of that kind?'

At the present time the city faith
ers of La Junta have under consid-
GRAFTON several propositions to Sc
cure better water supply. The
scheme for several towns in the Val
ley to pool their interests. incorpor-
ate company composed of leading
citizens from each community and
secure by purchase the right and
title to the underfiow waters of the
Box Springs country is of course the
best one. providing the necessary
funds are available in these days of
financial distress to carry out the
project. 1t is too big an undertake
ing for one town to handle, but as it
is claimed that there is a sufficient
water supply available over there
for all Of the towns in the Valley it
is the very best and also the most
practical scheme that has yet been
advanced The water is there in un-
limited quantities, and it is pure
and soft, just what every town in
the Arkansas Valley needs, and it is
probably the last chance that the
Valley towns will ever have to se-
cure pure water supply. Even if
the funds were available to finance
the project at onceit would proba-
bly, be two years before it would he
in successful operation. The great
family journal is of the opinion that
it is the bounden duty of the city
council to make some effort at once
to improve the present water sup
ply. The experiment that has been
suggested will not cost much, and
experts on the subject say that there
is no question as to the quality of
the water supply being improved if
the city will go across the river to
secure it. This can be done by ex-
tending the suction pipe at the
