DROUGHT DAMAGED
 ARKANSAS COTTON
Dealers Say 1913-14 Crop Would have Exceeded States Banner
 Output

In the opinion of the local cot ton dealers, had it not been for the several weeks drouth during the cotton maturing season in l9' 13, the 1913-14 commercial cot ton crop for Arkansas, which to- tailed l ,036, 900 bales would have been far in excess of the banner crop of the state which was made during the season of 1908 09 which was 1,052. 900 bales. How ever, the 1913-14 commercial crop, according to government statistics, will exceed that of 1912 1913 by 316, 900 bales.
 It is said by local cotton mer- chants that the present season with the exception of those few weeks drouth, was the hest Ark onsas ever had, and to the good weather conditions is attributed a large percentage of the in- creased yield over seasons l e. cause of the cessation of the ravages of the boil weevil. The weevil apparently has ruined the faith of a number of Arkansas planters on cotton as staple crop.

 As our country grows older other problems besides securing the pres ent dollar thrust themselves upon the man who handles the soil. and to the thinking men of the south, soil con seryation stands in class by itself as our most pressing problem and practical means looking to this end demands from year to year an ever increasing proportion of our thought.
 The crop that is indigenous to country is not always the crop that continues to be held in the highest es- teem by the leading thinking men of that section. For instance, In the finest blue grass section of Indiana l know leading live stock raiser and feeder who is discarding blue grass very largely for timothy. herds grass and sapling clover as pasture crops. because of the greater amount of feed the new pasture crops are pro- ducing. So while the grass has not been much in evidence upon the farms over much of the south up to this time the change of sentiment that is everywhere present among our peo- pie regarding the care of the soil leads us to believe that the matter will be tried out in large way during the next ten years.
 Grow More Grass.
 And where the trial is intelligently made grass will surely follow. for abundant rainfall much sunshine, fair quality of soil and lime makes grass growing. We have the rainfall and sunshine ever with us. the skele- ton of good soil is ours yet and million or two tons of lime are within our borders awaiting our awakening.

A Safe and Sane President Needed.

There is another point OF view in connection with
the European war which has relation to American
politics. This country ought learn the lesson that
it docs not want President OF the Kaiser Wilhelm
type,
While it is true that Austria precipitated the war
by its attempt subjugate Servia the fact remains
that the present of the struggle is due almost
if quite entirely the belligercnt attitude of the
Kaiser. With an enormous army he has been literally
spelling for fight 1t is perfectly fair say that
the similarity OF temperament between Kaiser Viii
helm and Theodore Roosevelt has long been remark
ed The personal friendship between the two men is
due largely to the views they hold in common. As it
has been a menace to the peace of Europe, however
to have war lord the Continent. 50 it would be
dangerous for the United States to have in the White
House man who loves fighting for the sake OF fight
ing. 1t is going to be difficult enough to keep the
United States in the path of neutrality which
President Wilson has marked for the nation but
with Mr.. Roosevelt in the White House there is no
telling how much trouble would be brought upon u.s.
With conservative, thinking people this point of
view will unquestionably have great weight. 1t
ought to result in nominations for the Presidency OF
who be relied upon to be safe and sane IN
the most exciting moments. No one knows when a
grave crisis may arrive. When it comes the Presi-
dent who infames the spirit and swings the big
stick and aggravates the situation will have awful
responsibility upon his shoulders No one can recall
the words and actions of Mr. Roosevelt prior to and
during with Spain and then follow the his
tory of the present European without realizing
that of ROosevelt's temperament might if
again in the White House involve us in a struggle
with foreign nations. The lesson Of this war to
American voters is that we want no Kaiser Wilhelm

SOME COMMERCIAL SPIES.

Spying is as prevalent in the commercial
as in the political world. though the
existence OF these commercial spies is
not nearly so we'll known.

and spy out the new enterprises and in

traders. Individual methods adopted vary
very greatly. and are often so subtle as

are approached by agents of unsCrupu-

WAsH1NGToNs NEW DIPLOMATS.
How They Are Expected TO Fit
Into the Social Life.

When society of the National Capital,
now scattered to all corners OF the globe
returns here in the fall several changes
will have been made in the diplomatic
circle. The newly appointed Minister
from Cuba, DR.. Carlos Manuel de Ces-
pedes, who arriv d here during the week
from New York. where he had been for
several days. will be a distinct acduisi-
ton TO the diplomatic circle and society
generally. DR.. de Cespedes speaks sew
eral European languages as well as Eng
lish. He is a doctor OF International law
and the author Of several books. He is
greatly interested in sculpture, and when
not writing devotes much time TO the
work He will go to Newport about the
first OF August for a months stay.
The new Ambassador from Turkey,
Rustem Bey. is already well known in
Washington. He served here for several
years as first secretary and charge. prior
to going to his recent post in London.
He has man. friends here. and will be
gladly welcomed back. He succeeds

than two years ago, but has spent little

Of Persia. and a person OF great distinc-

important figure in diplomatic circles
