 tendent of Reservation.

Western Newspaper Union News SeryIce
 Washington.-Ann of the appointment by Secretary Lane of Dr. L. R. Ellis of Hot Springs, Ark, to be superintendent of the Hot Springs reservation, was made here. Dr. Ellis was recommended by Senators Clarke and Robinson.
 Secretary Lane, in his letter of noti fication to Dr. Ellis. said that "the administration of the reservation should be on a thorough going and eff ficient basis and that he would eX- pect a drastic enforcement of the law and absolute impartiality of treat ment of all persons.
 When news reached Hot Springs that Major Dr. Leonard R. Ellis had been appointed superintendent of the Hot Springs reservation, there was general approval of the appointment.
 Dr. Ellis did not enter a candidacy for the place when he first took inter- est in the matter. He was then an ad- Vocate of the candidacy of personal friend, but when 1t was dicided by Secretary Lane of the Interior Depart ment that no other than a physician could receive the appointment as the offices of superintendent of the reser- yation and medical director are to be combined, Dr. Ellis was urged to be- come an applicant for the place.

Letter From Arkansas Woman Tells of Visit to the Battleship Arkansas.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Mrs. l.. H. Booger of Clarksville who is visiting in New York writes back to Arkansas telling of visit she made to the battleshiI Arkansas. She says the ship is def. cient in only one respect, and that is the sideboards are bare of silver service. In a letter to an ex-senator Mrs. Booger says:
 Last night I was on the battleship Arkansas to dance and Captain Smith and I had a little talk about the silver service and the need of it The ship is a wonder, but the side boards are bare. They have but one Arkansan on board. His name is Pain from down about Pine Bluff. Captain Smith says he has written some ons about the matter, but does not know who. Captain Smith asked me to tea some time and said he wanted to show me all over, but I thought I woul6 write this so you could tell it at head quarters"
 Arkansas is the only state in the union that has never honored her namesake by presenting the ship with silver service.

A CHURCH MASS MEETING
Christians Hold Rally and Discuss
 City's Social Evil.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Downtown churches of every denomination in the city last Sunday night held a mass meeting to discuss the vice problem now before the city. More than 1000 people were present and heard the addresses of prominent divines and Mayor Taylor.
 All the speakers urged the support of the city administration in it's eff forts to rid the city of it's immoral houses which, according to the present plans, will be closed August 25.
 The action of the authorities was the direct result of report rendered by a committee of prominent business and professional men of Little Rock. These men investigated the local conditions and their report recommended that the undesirable houses be closed Au- gust 25.
 This date was set in order to give the occupants of the houses a chance to leave the city or to reform. Those who desire to reform will be given a chance to do so by local organiza- tion which has been raising funds for that purpose.

TREASURY WILL BE BROKE"
Expected That After September There
 Will Be no Money.

Western Newspaper Union News Servics
 Little Rock.-1n spite of the fact that over half of the counties of the state have made their settlement with the state treasurer the general rev enue is getting low. It is expect ed that the treasury will be broke" by September. About 30 counties have yet to make their settlement with the state but this is not expected to re- heVe the situation to any great extent.
 Salaries in every department of the state government, including the exec1. tive, legislative and judiciary, are paid from the general revenue fund. and many state institutions are dependent upon this fund for support. The fund supplies the power for the wheels of government
 After September what?
 State officials confess they do not know the answer Last year the fund held out until November or Decem- Der, and then officials knew the Ii. censed saloons of the state would pay SS0,0O0 into the general revenue fund immediately after the f st of the year, This year no money will be iorthcom- ing from saloons by reason of prohibit ton laws passed by the last legisla. ture.

). M. POTTER TALKS OF NEW HIGHWAY
TELLS LITTLE ROCK MOTOR CLUB OF PROGRESS BEING MADE
 IN BUILDING ROAD.
WANT GOVERNMENT TO AID
Association Officer Believes organiza- ton Will Be Successful in Effort
 to Get Federal Money.

Western Newspaper UEion News Service
 Little Rock.-Dell M. Potter, prest- dent of the Southern National High way Association was in Little Rock last week to address the members of the Little Rock Motor Club.
 Mr. Potter in a speech told of the practicality of the plans of the asso- citation, of the chance of securing fed eral aid and of the benefit it would be to the state as whole.
 That the plea for federal aid for the system of Southern national highways will be presented to Congress when it convenes next winter was the eXpres- sion of MT. Potter, the plan being to solidly organize enthusiasts in all the Southern states and to interest the representatives in Congress from those states prior to the formal move to ob- tain an appropriation.
 It is the plan to ask for an appro- priation that will be permanent and will provide for the building of na- tional highways throughout the United States. Should this plan fail, MT. Pot ter said an appropriation to build three coast-to-coast highways, the Southern to be one of the three, then will be asked. If this plan meets with refusal in Congress an appropriation to build only the Southern highway will be asked.
 Mr Potter showed by figures that the losses in Arkansas to farmers and planters in marketing their crops is so great that the state will gain on the investment should millions be appro priated and spent on the roads.
 "This condition exists throughout the United States" said Mr. Potter and forms one of the strongest ar guments for federal roads. The losses | annually to the farmer, due because oi poor roads, when figured from an eco homie standpoint, are enormous'
 MT. Potter declared there is also great loss through emigration and showed by statistics that 75,000 farm CTS have gone to Canada. He said these could have been kept in the United States had good roads in all sections opened to cultivation millions | of acres of land that are now unculti yated because of their inaccessability 1 and the expense of hauling the crops to market.

Major Jett in Washington Writes of
 His Success.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-It is now probable that the Arkansas State guard will now re- ceive federal aid. This has practically been assured by government officials. This information was contained in a letter from Major Jett, who was in Washington.
 Major Jett went to Washington a week ago with Capt. A. B. Sloan, U. s. A, instructor for the Arkansas Ma tional Guard, to explain the shortage of almost $100,000 worth of govern ment property loaned to the state.

DEPOSITORY BOARD ;. DESIGNATES BANKS
FOR FIRST TIME SINCE RECON. SEDUCTION DAYS STATE WILL
 LOAN ITS MONEY.
VERY LITTLE COMPETITION
Comparatively Few Institutions Sub mitted Bids-Rates Ranged From
 8 to Per Cent.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Goy. J. M. Futrell, Treasurer John w. Crockett and At torney General Moose, sitting as the State Depository Board, last week designated 10 Arkansas banks as state Repositories. The action was taken as result of an act passed by the last legislature and it is the first time since reconstruction days that state money has been loaned to banks.
 Bids were awarded by state sena- torial district. but banks in 23 of 34 districts did not apply for the use of state funds. But 50 banks submitted binds and 10 of these were successful. In one district the bank bidding did not have sufficient capital stock to warrant the designation of state depos- itory.
 As the state will not have large sums of idle money during the forth coming year, bidding wat not keen. The interest offered ranged from to almost per cent, however, and the board members were pleased with the bids received
 The board will not lend money from the common school or pension funds, because both will be needed early in September to meet the demands which will be made upon them. The money to be loaned will come from the capi- to] fund and few minor funds which will not be needed soon.
 Loans to the state Repositories will be based upon the amount of the cap ital stock of the banks. Each deposit tory will be required to make contract with the state and furnish a bond one and one-half times as great as the amount of the loan. The bonds must be approved by the attorney general.
 Banks which were successful in bid ding for state funds were: \ First district-Bank of Jonesboro, 5onesboro, per cent.
 Second district-Lawrence County bank, Walnut Ridge, 1-2 per cent
 Sixth district-Union Bank and Trust Company, Batesville, 3 3-4 per cent.
 Tenth district-Mercantile Trust Company, Little Rock, per cent.
 Twentieth district Hampstead County bank, Hope, per cent.
 Twenty second district Arkansas Trust and Banking Company, Ash down, CSC per cent.
 Twenty fourth district First Ma tional bank. Huntsville, 4 per cent
 Twenty-siXth district-The Marshall bank, Marshall, 1-2 per cent
 Thirtieth observation-disclosures National bank, Philadelphia, per cent.
 Thirty fourth district-Bank of Rog- CTS. Rogers, 9-16 per cent.
