obligations, such as notes given to
him by persons who bought land on
part payment plans, and which he had
endorsed and sold to banks.
Many of Franklin's loans were Sc
cured by stock in the trust company.
When the passing of the May dividend
by the company was followed by a
sensational slump in the market price
of the stock and the collateral had
shrunk to less than half it's former
value, the banks began pressing
Franklin for more collateral. He was
unable to produce other liquid assets
or to effect large loans, and as many
of his obligations with the banks are
coming due this summer, he arranged
for the liquidation by the committee
of certain assets as they way yOut.

IN LITTLE ROCK BANK
Franklin Was Former President OF
Bankers Trust Company Which at
One Time Controlled Little
Rock Institution
IN LITTLE ROCK BANK

st. Louis, July 11.-After meteo-
ric career in banking affairs, John Ii.
Franklin, former president OF the
Bankers Trust company of st. Louis,
which at that time owned the controll-
ing interests in the State National
bank at Little Rock, has turned over
for liquidation all of his assets, estl-
mated at approximately SO 100000, to
a committee representing his credit
Ors.
Under the guidance of Mr.. Franklin
his institution several years ago
owned between $3.50, 900 and 100000
worth Of stock in the State National
bank. Retaining $4,000 worth OF the
stock, which the st. Louis institution
still owns, the Bankers Trust COM
pany sold its controlling interests to
w. H. Garanflo and r. D. Duncan.
When Franklin first entered Little
Rock banking circles he and his asso-
ciates purchased the interest OF &c
Cornish in the old State bank. CAPT
talized at 100000. Colonel English
and the late Robert Hamilton were
the other chief owners. The bank
was nationalized becoming the State
National bank, with capital OF $l0o,'
600. The capital was later raised tt
$500. 900, and the Bankers Trust com
pany obtained the controlling inter
ests. In the meantime, Franklin, Their
president of a trust company a
Fredericktown, Mo-, moved his bani
10 st. Louis and formed the Bankers
Trust company.
The condition of Franklin's affairs
was one of the contributing causes t.
the recent closing of the Little Rocl
State National bank, it is said. TIL
Bankers Trust company had been. il

Don't Sit and Wait.

Jefferson is the richest country in
the state,' said Miss Fortner, land
we should not sit down and wait, but
get up and advertise it's resources.
1t is my opinion that this sort of al
exhibit at the great exposition will be
of more real advertising value to
Pine Bluff and Jefferson county than
anything to be thought of at the
present time. With the cooperation
of the farmers and the business men
OF the country, no difficulty should
be experienced in securing this sort
of All exhibit. The progressive peo-
pie of Monticello are already work
lug in an effort to secure fruits and
other products from that section,
which will be placed in the Arkansas
exhibit, and it is high time that we
were doing the same" @

FASHION SHOW
 CREATES TALK
Gala-like Appearance of the Downtown Streets Will Remind Townspeople and Visitors of Chris tn a s Week

As the days are drawing nearer for the great First Annual Phoenix Fashion show all sorts of ideas for dressing windows and displaying goods to the best advantage are be- ing suggested by the various experts in those lines and indications are now that the event on Monday next will be one of the greatest merchant dising events in the history of Ari : zona The information that the railroads are wolling to help and that the people out of town are anxious to come added to the interest in the matter yesterday so that the news departments of the papers were ask ed almost as much for dope" On that coming event as they were on the big baseball games now playing the east.
 With the down town streets given a gala like appearance by reason of the cooperation of all the merchants
 n dressing the windows at the same time, with bands playing on the street corners and the stores lighted and thronged with people the at mosphcre will seem more like Christ mas week than any other of the year. Then the beauty of the scheme is that no one can buy during the dis play period at night but all may look, may inquire, and the slogan will be in all the stores No trouble to show goods No trouble to answer questions. Come some other time and buy"
 The fashion show will be held in Phoenix on October 19. 1915, and ev- cry year thereafter.
 An example of the attention given to the display of goods by the mer- chants of Phoenix and an illustra- tion of what may be looked forward to during the coming and much talked of Fashion Show, is the dis play of the Simmons Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of fine brass beds, steel beds and springs. It is a competitive prize exhibit for the Rice Association prize which is national in the scope of it's com petition, and the display appears in the splendid and spacious windows of the Doris Heyman Furniture Company, local dealers for the Sim mons people. The Rice Association is offering prizes to dealers through out the country in the sum total of $15,000 for the best presentations in window displays From time to time mention has been made of the grow ing interest the local merchants have been taking in their show win dows. and the exhibit to which this article alludes is particularly unique and attractive and altogether sug- gests the aptitude of the decorator.

Let us not be that kind Of Christians"
