tend Its eastern banks and the great
Notifications OF Toni form an out
post of Its valley. About one-half OF
the total area of the department IS
embraced In the valley Of the Meuse,
which Is enclosed on the west by the
forests OF Argonne, and. ON the east
by the hills known "a: the Cote de
Mouse. Still further to the east lies
the forests.of the Woevre district. One
fourth of the entire department is
covered with forests, and they were,
prior to the present war, those finely
kept forests Of France that resem BILE
wooded parks in our own country.
The three hundred thousand peo-
pie who live in the department Of the
Mouse in normal times are devoted
mainly to agriculture and manufac-
turing. Their crops correspond gem
orally to those Of the Mohawk valley
of New York, the Susquehannah val
ley Of Pennsylvania. and tie Shenan-
doah valley Of Virginia. Sugar beets
are an important addition to the list
of things produced from the soil"
THE department slopes generally
toward the Aisne, which flows
Through its southeast -central section,
although the Mouse flows through It's
northeast section and thence north
ward through the Belgian pan
handle Although THE airline dis
lance. between the point where the
Mouse comes Into Ardennes is less
than fifty miles, the waterway dis
tance is III miles.
For large part the department is
occupied by the remains OF the
French section OF the great forest Of
the Ardennes, through which julius
Caesar campaigned, and which separ-
ated the Celts and the Teutons OF
early European history. The forests
have largely disappeared with the
Entertainments OF civilization, but the
sharply marked linguistic boundary
between the Fleming speaking people
OF Flanders and the French-speaking
people OF southern Belgium still tells
OF the ancient barrier to intercourse
between the two peoples.
The department of Ardennes has
an area Of only 2.02s square miles,
but 1t possesses population Of near
ly 325, 900 people. In parts OF It there
are stock farms that remind one OF
the blue grass region Of Kentucky.
The common crops of the northeast
ern section Of the United States
flourish, and fruit growing is prac-
ticed in some sections.
"There are numerous industries in
this region. At Bouizicourt Is the
large powder factory of st. Ponce;
and at Charleville, there are large
nail making and type founding es-
adjustments. Sugar factories, tan
neries, iron foundries and metal
working establishments dot the Val
ley Of the Mouse. There are import
ant textile plants conferred at Sedan,
and the department produces annual
ly hundreds of thousands of pairs Of
wooden shoes.
"Ardennes has a rich military his

stood the siege of the Imperial army
with its $4,000 men for nearly a
month. in 1921, and that the French
held out against the Germans for six
weeks in 1915. The same town was
invested three times in the Franco
Prussian war. At Sedan lies battle

battles was fought and where the de-

McGILL IN CHARGE
 OF ROGERS BANK
About $42,G0O of Benton County's Funds Tied Up In Bank, But
 Fully Protected.

Little Rock, July 17.-L. H. McGill of Bentonville, one of the most prom inent lawyers in Northwest Arkan- sas, has been appointed by State Bank Commissioner Davis as special deputy commissioner for the purpose of liquidating the Bank of Rogers, which closed it's doors Thursday. Commissioner Davis, Deputy Commits sioner Covey, and Examiner Philips are now in Rogers looking after the affairs of the defunct institution.
 The Bank of Rogers was the de- pository for Benton county funds, having made the highest interest bid. It is reported that about $42,0OO of the county's funds are tied up in the bank, but it is fully protected.
 Sheriff F. B. Galbreaith of Benton county, made settlement with the state Friday, paying in a balance of $66,0O0. He reports that crops are in a splendid condition in that sec tion of the state. There is promise of most abundant apple crop, and the trees are so heavily loaded in some sections that many of the young apples are being knocked off The grain crops are also very fine.

M'EWEN'S CLOSING
 OUT YARD GOODS
Selling All at Great Deduction Be. cause of Desire to Cease
 Handling These Goods.

Having decided to handle ex- clusively in future ladies and misses ready-to-wear and millinery goods, McEwen's store is preparing to dis pose of all the yard goods in stock. To move these quickly, a closing out sale will be started today and con- tinue until every one of the thous- ands of yards of reasonable and fashionable materials has been sold.
 That this will not require a great length of time appears evident from the prices placed on these goods for this closing out sale. A page ad al- bearing in this issue of The Graphic speaks in facts and figures concern ing these bargains. The McEwen management has indicated that former selling prices or the market value of these yard goods were not considered in marking them down; the purpose is to dispose of them quickly and prices have been made accordingly. The result is, says the management, that people will he given opportunil; to save from B to 30 per cent of the actual selling price of all kinds of materials.
 Purchases will be delivered free of cost by parcel post or express, and out--of-town patrons whose purch- ases aggregate $50 will have their railroad fare, refunded. According to this, an out-oftownss buyer can take $50 and secure $S5 to $100 worth of goods at no expense.

Runs and Hits by Innings.
HORSESHOES DON'T
 BRING GOOD LUCK
Net Always, Anyway, as Walter Anderson. Badly Wounded, Will
 Bear Witness.

The police are on the lookout for two men, who are wanted for beating up Walter Anderson, about 36 years of age, from Stuttgart. The men at- tackled Anderson early yesterday morning at Seventh and Main streets and with horse shoes as weapons gave him terrible beating.
 Chief of Police J. R. Stewart made an effort to have him placed in the hospital yesterday but without re- suit. He was then taken to the po- lice station, where he was given medi- cal attention last night by Dr. J. L.. lMagee. The man is suffering from several scalp wounds and numerous cuts about the head and hands.
 According to Anderson he met the men in a saloon and after taking sev- eral drinks they proposeds aEwalk He said the men suddenly began to beat him and after throwing all the horse shoes on the place at him, the men started back down Main street. Ac- cording to Anderson robbery was the motive of the men.

Triumph for Wilson,

London, July 17.-Commenting up- on the resignation of President Hu-
 erta, the morning papers give credit to President Wilson for the success
 of his policy, but consider that the
 Mexican embroglo is in no way solved.
 The Chronicle asserts that it is pre- mature to describe it as a triumph for Mir. Wilson. He gained his point, the paper says, but his policy has
 entailed an appalling amount of mur-
 der and pillage, most of which would have been avoided if he had joined Europe in recognizing Huerta.
 The Daily Mail regards Huerta's
 resignation as granting a respite, but
 not reprieve in the situation. It says, however, the world will breathe
 more freely at the thought that war between the United States and Mexico has been averted.
 The Times considers that President Wilson never intended to elevate the rule of non-recognition applied to Huerta, into policy of universal ap- probation. But, adds the Times, "the sequel has proved him right and his remarkable innovation in diplomatic procedure has thus far justified itself both in aim and method. The ultit- mate Mexican question, hoWe:er is not yet disposed of. Rather, it is be- ginning to reveal it's true propor- tions."

He refused to shake hands with Corri The chairman alnounc- ed on behalf of Dick Berge, the pro- moter of yesterdays match, that the latter was ready to put up another purse of the same amount for re- turn fight,
 Deschamps then revealed that he had promised to match Carpenter against Wells if the Frenchman won yesterdays match. As soon as the Carpentier-Wellsm match is over, he added, Carpenter will be ready to meet Smith again, either in Europe or America.
