An Industrial Directory of State.

Commissioner of Agriculture Guy B.
Tucker is now preparing to issue an
industrial directory of Arkansas. The
directory will be the first of it's kind
in the history of the state.
Assisted by his deputy, Major Will
liam Stoddard, Mr.. Tucker intends
to ascertain the name of every in
dustry within the borders of the state
and all the particulars of each indus
try. All mines and manufacturing
industries will be given in the direc-
tory, together with the number of men
pay roll Of each Letters are being
circulated over the state by Mr..
Tucker in an attempt to secure the
proper information. As soon as the
information is all in the directory
will be compiled
1t is thought that the directory will
be made up of about rs pages When
completed it will be distributed free
of cost by the state.
1t is thought that the state can be
better advertised by the means of
this directory than by any other plan.
Few people outside the state know
the commercial wealth of Arkansas,
and the directory sent out broadcast
over the United States will aid great
ly in informing the people Of the coun-
try of the industrial inducements of
the state.

State Capital Notes
Germany To Learn of Arkansas.

Commissioner of Agriculture Guy B.
Tucker Thursday announced that
book or pamphlet describing the min
eral, agricultural and industrial
wealth of Arkansas would be published
shortly in the German language for
distribution in Germany.
Rev. Father Lawrence Hoyt OF
GAINESVILLE, a Catholic priest, has
conferred with Mr. Tucker on the mat
ter, and he will write the book In the
German language.
Mr.. Tucker will gather together the
data for the book and present 1t to
father Hoyt for translation. AS soon
as the entire book is translated into
German it will be sent to the printer
and after translation will be scattered
throughout Germany.
It is firmly believed by those inter-
ested in the project that the book will
be the means of inducing hundreds
and possibly thousands of people to
move to Arkansas ind settle. Father
Hoyt is very much interested in get
ting the natives of the old country
over here, believing that this state Of
fers more inducements than any other
to the people of that country. AT pres
ent the Germans know practically
nothing concerning the state or its re-
sources and wealth. 1t is thought,
however, that book describing it's
inducements, written in German
something unusual in that country in
the line of advertisement of foreign
state-will be effective.
The book will be issued by the
state, and all of the data will be au-
thentic.

No Offers On Cotton.

Another week has passed and there
are still no offers for the state farm
cotton that have proved any KIND of
an attraction to the Penitentiary
Board committee appointed to sell the
product. The greater portion OF the
cotton is stored at Pine Bluff, where it
will be held until sold. The board
decided last winter TO hold the cotton
for Is cents. but on account of the
small amount of money in the peniten-
tiary fund, decided to sell at least a
portion of the cotton to the buyer of
fering the highest price. 1t is thought
that the board will be able to secure
IL cents for the cotton.
