W. B. Knickerbocker, prominent
manufacturer Of Detroit, Mich, is an
enthusiastic booster for San Fran
cisco in the fight for congressional
approval Of its proposed Panama-Pa-
cific exposition.
"I believe that If the members Of
congress could be brought out to Cal.
ifornia and given a glimpse Of things
as they exist here they would vote
solidly for San Francisco when the
exposition matter comes before them
next December" said Mr.. Knicker-
booker.
at is a human instinct TO move
westward, and the great movement
toward western America is Just now
beginning. This is a great, marvel
Gus, new country, Of which we In the
east know next to nothing.
There is no travel south. The ex-
position belongs here where the pee
pie are coming. They viii come to
the exposition through the canal and
then go back through this marvellous
western country. Many, however.
impressed by the marvellous re-
sources of California, viii remain
here for good. This scenery, the
mountains, the forests and all the
rest Of It is not appro ached by any
thing in Europe. Thousands OF peo-
pie who now go to Europe would
rather come here IL they knew what

THERE WILL BE NO MONEY IN THE STATE TREASURY
 AFTER JANUARY.
1t Is Stated That the General Revenue Fund Will Be Exhausted by
 That Time.

While the Arkansas state treasury contains more than $2,000,000, but Il comparatively small proportion O. that amour can be used for defray- ing the expenses of the state govern ment, which comes out of the general revenue fund. The general revenue fund has to it's credit in round num-
 bers $350,000, with about S25,000 yet to be deposited to it's credit when few remaining collectors are heard from The running expenses of the state government amount to from $6o000 to $75,000 per month, and this will exhaust the general revenue fund some time in January or Feh- ruary. It is expected that when the legislature meets there will be little remaining of the fund from which it can draw upon for the payment of it's expenses. The legislature may conVcr the sinking fund temporar- fly tC it's use as an eNpedient and by the use Of this fund a months expenses of the body may be de frayed. If the offhand estimates of those in the auditors and treasurer's offices are correct, the legislature will have to rely upon advances made by the collectors of the several coun- ties in 1911 to defray it's expenses.

OUR FARMERS CAN BECOME RICH
Agricultural Possibilities Here Better
 Than Elsewhere, Says Traveller.

Little Rock.-"The people of Arkan- sas don't know how to appreciate the agricultural resources of their state until they travel into others" said A. L. Weitz, who travels for the Ma tional Vinegar Company of St. Louis. Recently I have covered a number of adjoining states, and this fact has been forcibly brought to my attention. Take cantaloupes, for instance. Here we get the finest quality. and we can buy them off country wagons in Lit tie Rock for 9 cents per dozen at this time. In Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta and other places eantaloupes are bringing from 10 to 20 cents each It is the same way with ether fruits and vegetables. They all bear boun- tifully here and there is no reason in the world why Arkansas farmers with a little progressiveness should not quickly amass great wealth. And they are fast coming to this realiza- tion, too Just take q trip through the state and it is surprising to note the number of we'll tiled farms. planted in almost every conceivable thing"

Says Fixing of Rates Is Against Law.

Assistant Attorney General W. E Rector has declared it violation of the antitrust act for several fire in surance companies, through their joint general agent, to fix the same rate of insurance for each company. The opinion was rendered at the re- quest of State Auditor lobe, who had received a rate book issued by c. l.. Meyers & Go. of Memphis, represent ing six fire insurance companies, in which were printed the rates to be charged in Arkansas for fire insur- ance, the rates for each company be ing the same. The assistant attorney general holds that fixing the price of insurance for six companies is clearly in violation of the antitrust law. To construe the act differently he says, would be to eliminate the very spirit of the act.
