Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called nation of pie eaters. Today a more appro- priate term would be nation of ba- mana eaters. The United States takes more than two-thirds of the bananas shipped to the handlers in the world.
 Part of this pre-eminence in banana consumption is due to geography; the source of supply on the Caribbean is almost at our doors. Part is due to accident; a Boston skipper introduced the American public to this tropical fruit while it was still unknown in Europe. Whatever reason one may choose to give, the United States is the worlds chief banana market, and though the use of this fruit is increas- ing abroad, the American boy remains the Jamaica growers best friend

 Two companies of the Arkansas State Guard are on police duty in the city and everything is as orderly as can be under existing conditions.

fire started it was wholly beyond the control of the Fire Department and help was asked from Little Rock. A special train bearing additional equip ment arrived, but human ingenuity with water, dynamite and every other known means of fighting fire failed to check the flames in the slightest de gree. The wind increased in fury as the flames spread and frame and brick business blocks were razed in a few minutes. The fire fighters would no sooner get located for another des- perate stand than the fire would sweep past them and break out in a dozen different place at the same time Dy- namite was freely used, but nothing could stop the rush of the flames
 An idea of the fury of the fire is evidenced by the fact that lines of hose carrying water would burn and efforts to save buildings by playing streams of water upon them availed nothing.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION
Government Officials Think Huerta
 Not a Candidate.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 hington.-President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have adopted the at titude that the elimination of Victori- ano Huerta from the presidential race in Mexico $ assured and that the first step toward the establishment of peace in Hexico is accomplished.
 This was the authorative declaration of the administration officials, who also let it be known;
 That oral assurances had been given Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge deaf fairs of the American embassy, of Huerta's intention not to be candi- date in the approaching elections.
 That the United States would con tinue literally the argument in the second note of Federico Gamboa, Mexi- con minister of foreign affairs, who pointed out at great length that pro- visional president in Mexico is ineli- gible to succeed himself.
 That any effort on the part of Huer- ta to circumvent the constitution by resigning in advance of the elections in favor of another provisional presi- dent would be regarded by the United States as a breach of faith before the world
 Much stress was laid by the officials upon the withdrawal by Senor Gamboa
Judsonia weekly advance., 1913-09-10

in his second note of the original de- mand for recognition by the United States through the exchange of am. bassadors.
 That the Huerta government had, in effect, withdrawn it's demand for rec ognition is now held by many Wash ington officials, notwithstanding Senor Gamboa's declaration in the same note that he would always stand on the unavoidable condition, which declares that we are in reality the ad interim constitutional government of the Mexi- can republic"
 It was pointed out that one of the peculiarities of the situation Is tho fact that while the Washington govern ment refuses to recognize Huerta as the constitutionally chosen provisional president of Mexico at the present time, it is unwilling to interpret Gam boa's argument on the ineligibi1ty of Huerta as satisfactory answer to the chief American proposal-that Huerta shall not be a candidate in the con- ing election.
 In contradiction to these assurances, however, significance is attached out side administration circles to the con- certed boom for Huertas candidacy launched in the official and semi-ofi- cial Mexico City newspapers immedi- ately after the publication of Senor Gamboa's second note.

 After 10 hours the fire had burned its was practically to the foot of West mountain sweeping districs seven to 10 blocks in width, from Hot Springs mountain on the east of West noun tain, distance of mile and half.
 Human ingenuity and modern fire apparatus availed nothing against the resistless force of the flames, famed by a shifting gale which carried it first in one direction and then in an other. threatening the entire city at times.
 Hot Springs views in quiet awe such a scene of Gesolation as it never wit messed before. Aided by the Little Rock Fire Department, the local fire fighting force battled with the flames for almost 10 hours, fighting a hope less battle at every stage, and suc- ceeding only in diyerting the course of the fire from the principal business section and the Reservation.
 Mayor McLendon ordered all the saloons in the city closed and called a meeting of citizens at the city hall.
 A police patrol of 250 men was sworn in to guard the fire-swept dis trict.
 Several firemen were overcome with the heat and smoke, as were also a few citizen volunteers, but aside from

Hays ordered com panies A and B of the first regiment of the Arkansas National Guard to Hot Springs to police the city until condi, tions were again normal. Mayor Fay Tor called mass meeting in Little Rock Sunday to consider ways and means to aid the stricken city. Both the Iron Mountain and Rock Island railroads have offered their lines to assist in every way possible.
 At the mass meeting of Little Rock citizens committees were appointed to raise funds for the relief of Hot Springs fire sufferers. Mayor Chas. k. Taylor was made chairman of the relief committee, Geo. R. Brown, secre- tary, and Geo. Thornburgh, treasurer. Subscriptions to the amount of S1,200 were secured. Little Rock expects to raise $5,000.
 A cash donation of S1,000 for those rendered destitute in the Hot Springs fire together with an offer of any other assistance requested was made by telegraph by the American Red Cross Society Governor George w Hays received notice of the donation in message received from Ernest P Nickell, national director of the or ganization at Washington, D.

 The Park and Moody hotels were the cnly ones destroyed of the very large hotels. Several hotels of lesser capa- city were burned and number of rooming houses. The hotel capacity of the resort has not suffered heavily and practically all of the burned struc- lures will be rebuilt at once.
 Under ordinary conditions the fire would have been extinguisned with slight loss, but the drouth of the last two months had made the buildings so inflammable and strong wind blow ing from the northwest soon carried the fire to a thicl1ly populated business and residence section on Malvern avenue, where it spread nearly a half mile in width, and sweeping south swept through a section of the city more than a mile in length, destroying hundreds of the buildings, including some of the principal business houses of the city.
 Among the large buildings destroyed within the space of an hour and half were the Park hotel, water, light and electric light plant, Peoples laundry Crystal theater, Iron Mountain station and shops, Ozark sanatorium, high school building, Garland county court house, Moody hotel, Princess hotel and the Bijou rink Hundreds of smaller business buildings and many resi-. dences, including some of the most pretentious in the city. were destroyed
