CROPS DAMAGED BY HEAT.
Upland Farms in the Vicinity of Cotter
 Have Suffered.

Cotter, Aug. l.-The excess ively hot weather of the past month has greatly injured the vegetable crop of this section of the state. Upland farms suffered most because of the character of the soil.
 River faru.s have lost but little and contend that it is not the dry weather but the heat that did the damage, following as it did long wet and cool spell.
 The tomato crop is cut very short, and unless Adorable weath- CT causes the vine to put on a late fruit the canning factories of this section will fall short of their usual output. Fruit has also suf. fered to some extend, especially peaches. The late hard frosts and cold spring, followed by the excessive heat, cut the peach crop 10 less than fourth crop.

KEEPING UP WITH
 M3NA'S GROWTH
E;oht Thousand Dollars Added to the Surplus of the National Bank of Mena, Making S68,00O Capi-
 tai and Surplus.

Al the annual meeting of the hoard of directors of The Ma ,;onsl Bank of Mena, which was held yesterday afternoon, SS 000 vas added to its surplus, making if now SlS.000. This is an un- questioned evidence of the pros- perity of the city and the growth of it's business interests.
 The old Bank of Mena was started ten years ago, during the first year of Mena's history. Its capital then was Sl0,000, which was in keeping with the town. Ii was the first aud only bank in Polk county. As the town and country grew 1t added each year to its capital and surplus until two years ago 1t was nationdlized with paid up capital of S50,000. Since then it has added to its sur plus until today its paid up capi. tal and surplus amounts to S6S,000.
 Its officers are of the leading business men of the city and are earnest workers in the up-build- ing of this country and their institution.
 In speakisg of the bank Thurs day, K. M. Quigiey, it's president, said: "We are we'll pleased with our years business and in adding SS S,0O0 to our surplus we are only keeping up to the growth of our city. Our customers are growing iu like proportion to our bank aud it is our intention from time to time to supply such additional capital as the needs of our cuSto- mers require.
 "The National Bank of Meua advertises new rule in banking, in that its bylaws prohibit the loaniug of any of it's funds to it's officers, directors or employees. This is d wise provision, as most bank failures can be attributed to over-loaning of funds to off, cers."
