COTTON BELT TO PAY
 STATE $46,679.S4
Amount Is Due for Franchise Tax
 With Penalties and Interest

The St. Louis Southwestern Rail- way Company today will pay the state of Arkansas $46,679.S4, the amount of the railroads franchise tax for the years 1911, 1912, 1913, and 1914, plus a penalty of 25 per cent, and interest from the date the tax was due until December l5, when the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the validi- ty of the tax.
 Twenty per cent of the total judg ment, amounting to slightly more than 5000 will go to special attorneys employed by the state to prosecute the suit.
 There is some question as to the proper official to whom the judgement is to be paid, but it seems probable that the money will be paid into the state treasurer's office. An effort is said to have been made to have the judgemen paid in such way that $25, 1000 could be diverted to the use of the legislature.
 Judge w. T. Woodbridge of Pine Bluff general attorney for the Cot ton Belt, arrived in Little Rock yes terday and expects to make the settle ment today.
 The amount due for each yean that the tax was not paid follows:
 1911, $1O,167.05; 1912, $a7O3.12 1913, $13,O1O.15; and 1914, $13,799.52.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE
 UNITED STATES?
By Herbert N. Casson, in Associated
 Advertising for December.
"What is the matter with the United

"What is the matter with the United States?"
 As have been residing in London since the beginning of the war, 1 have been hearing this question asked on all sides. ! have never heard any satisfactory answer. No one seems to know.
 Why are not, American factories running night and day? Why are the railroads not opening up new terri tories and getting ready for the mill lions of immigrants who have already made up their minds to leave Europe as soon as the war is over?
 Why are there not 50 American drummers in London right now, try ing to sell $2OO,0OO,OOO worth of American goods in place of the goods that were bought last year from Ger many and Austria?
 Why have the advertisers become quitters, just at the time when their advertisements were most needed and most effective in cheering on the busi- ness forces of the United States?
 From the European point of view, the United States is haven of peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles that it dare mention to Belgium or Austria or France or Ger many or Servia or Great Britain or Russia.
 Every tenth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman is at the front. Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United Stats know of trouble?
 If could afford it, would charter the Mauretania and Lusitania, and convey a party of 5000 American ad- vertisers to Europe for trip of edu- cation. I would give them week in London, a week in Paris a week in Antwerp.
 I would let them look at the United States from the scene of war. I would give them a look at real trouble. I would let them see trains, ten at a time, five minutes apart, packed with the maimed and the dying.
 I would let them hear, from frag- mentary survivors, the incredible story of battlefields, 150 miles wide, and armies that are greater than the entire population of Texas.
 I would let them see graves 100 yards long and full, and Belgium, the country that was, nothing now but 12,OOO square miles of wreckage.
 Then, when they began to under stand, to some slight extent, the mag nitude and awfulness of this war, I would say to them:
 "Now go back and appreciate the United States. Realize your opportu- mites. Don't start digging trenches when nobody is firing at you. Don't fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to the most glorious chance you have ever had in your life.
 GO back and advertise. Get ready for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever had. Build your factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money. Go ahead, and thank God that you are alive and that your family is alive and that you are living in land that is at peace, at a time when nearly the xryL ola 1xyor1J sc o+ H

Why Good Times are Coming for
 Sheep Men

In the current issue of Farm and Preside J. Pickering Ross, an expert on such matters, writes an interest ing little article showing the American farmers relation to the present war. In the following extract from the ar ticle he tells why he thinks a really good time is coming for the sheep man:
 England is the distributing point of the worlds wool, especially for that of her great wool-producing colonies. She has now strictly prohibited its ex- port. She will take in all she can get and keep it for her own manufactur- CTS. The allied armies need enormous supplies of wooden clothing, far more than their own factories can turn out. Already many of our mills are runn- ing night to fill contracts made with England and France.
 "The coarse wools of the Down breed and their crosses are used alto gether for that class of goods, and their prices have gone up 10 to 15 per cent, and are still rising. We may get few bales from South America but our farmers must find the bulk of what is needed. Fine wools are not in such good demand.
 "Our beef supply is certaily not in excess, and this sudden call for it canned and in other forms must tend to raise it's cost. Mutton and lamb are gaining in popularity; the Down breeds produce the best of them, as we'll as the woll now most in demand"

STEEL MEN BOOM
BRAZIL ORE TRADE
War CompeIs Mills to
Turn Southwark for
Their Manganese.

4 big increase iu trade with Brazil
was predicted yesterday as the result
Of American steel manufacturers draw
ing heavily on that South American
country for their supply Of manganese
ore. Heretofore most of that mineral
has come from Russia. The United
States steel Corporation has brought
this direct to this country and made
their own ferro-manganese, so essen
tial for steel making. while tho lndc-
pendent steel maker have obtained
their supply of ferro-manganese in
England. the Russian ore having been
smelted there.
Since the outbreak of war, however,
American steel manufacturers have
turned to Brazil, and large quantities
of manganese are now being shipped
TO this country. In addition, the indie
pendent American manufacturers are
making plans 10 manufacture their own
ferro- manganese. the result OF which
will be the creation Of practically a
new industry. IN this country.
These facts were given 20 The Trlb-
une by j. 4. Clausscn. manager for
Rogers. Brown & Co., one OF the la
gcst dealers in manganese 0re. coke
and pig iron In this country.
Mr.. Claussen said that the imports
Of manganese ore TO this country
amounted TO about 200, 900 tons yeaE
The price before the war was about S38
ton. but il has now jumped 20 from
500 20 $40 a ton. An American COM
pany has already been formed, he said,
to manufacture rro-manganese from
ore imported principally from Brazil;
Recently, Mr.. Claussen said, steer
manufacturers had been using spiegel-
eisen. which is mined IN Virginia, as a
substitute for fcrro-manganese. This
is a mineral which contains about 20
per cent of manganese, and is not
quite satisfactory. Spiegeieiscn IS
