western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-Gov. Futrell spent sev- eral days in Eastern Arkansas inspect ing levees and making preparations for the flood if such a catastrophe should happen.
 While Governor Futrell hopes that the flood conditions in Arkansas may not become serious, he is making every preparation to provide relief for stock and people in case the levees should break.
 It Is impossible to estimate what may happen in the flood region, as men familiar with floods have differ ent opinions as to whether the water will be high enough to work serious disaster. Some were of the opinion that the levees will hold the volume of water from the northern district, while others were pessimistic. Mean while the governor is taking erery pre- caution for the worst, while hoping for the best
 During the governors absence, his secretary, A. Y. Smith, who is familiar with the governors plans for relief work was in charge of preparations for the flood. MT. Smith was in daily conference with Associate Jus tice Frank Smith and others here who are specially interested in protection of the levees, and relief work in case of a break A requisition for mlni- mum of 300 tents to be used along the levees in Mississippi and Crittenden counties has been honored
 A plan of cooperation between the War Department and the state authori- t'es for relief work has been agreed upon The governor has appointed an a agent in each county to take charge or relief work if it becomes necessary, the state agents to communicate di- ractly to the governor and he to the agent of the War Department. The agents appointed by the governor are as follows Marion Hazel Marked Tree; William Craddock, Lake City; w. T. Lane, Jonesboro; J. c. Sudberry, Blytheville; w. J. Lamb, Osceola; J. w. Spann, LuXora; R. F.. Lee Wilson, Wilson; Louis Barton, Marion; F. w. DeRossitt, Forrest City; Senator Rob- ertson, Marianna; John l. Moore, Hel- ena.

NEW NICKLES CLOG
 TO SLOT MACHINES
BOTH THE MERcHANDlSE AND MONEY MACHINES ARE FIT
 TED FOR OLD MONEY.
New Issue Is Not Regarded as Thing of Beauty by Local Sentiment and
 Is Most Unpopular.

The new nickel issued by the United States mint has reached Hot Springs, but has not made hit. In fact if it is possible for money in any form to be unpopular, the new issue is in disfayor
 The new issue differs in many ways from the old ~n the side with the Indian head is the word Liberty" and the date of issue. 1918" On the other side is the United States of America, designation around the edge, then a large Buffalo and Five Cents" spelled out. E PluTbius Un- ump also comes in for slight atten- ton on this side or the coin. The nickel is not so bright in color as the other new money, and was placed in circulation on March 1.
 One rather serious objectio, to the new coin is that it's surfaces are not so smooth and even with the edge of the coin as the old nickel, and with its large indentures, it slips and slides slot machines until it clogs them, and therefore may force sev- eral machines to be taken out of commission. In money machines it is also said to produce a clog and to fail to work the machine.
 There are but few coins of the new issue here in circulation but they are generally and proudly exhibited by the possessors. The novelty of the new issue has not as yet resulted in any premiums being paid for pos session of one of them.
