 Cent Was Made Under
 MisapprehensiOn.

Little Rock, Oct. 2S.-Plans an nounced today by the federal reserve board relative to the administration of the proposed $135, 100000 cotton pool fund rescined action taken by the Arkansas Bankers association yesterday, pledging per cent of the total assets of Arkansas banks, a,s- gregating $2,000,OO0, to the fund, ac- cording to George w. Rogers, Pres ident of the association.
 There will be no concentrated ac- tion by Arkansas banks" said MT. Rogers, 'for the plan as announced by the federal reserve board today in the repayment of subscribers gives the New York banks a decided ad- vantage, which is absolutely opposite to the plan as given in a telegram from H. Parker Willis, secretary of the board, to me yesterday. The ac- tion of the association in pledging united action was made on the con- ditions given in the telegram"
 The action plan of the federal re- serve board is a division of the loan fund into two classes-Class A and class B. The plan is to have class A certificates issued to the Northern banks taken up in approximately larger degree than the class B certi- ficates to be issued to Southern banks
 "Arkansas bankers, as whole, will refuse to enter this plan." said Mrs. Rogers. At yesterdays meet. ing the resolution pending per cent of our total assets was passed upon the condition that in the repayment all banks, Northern and Southern, were to share alike."

The idea of holding a community
Christmas tree is an admirable one
and should have the hearty support of
every citizen and every church organ
ization. While the Christmas exer-
cises held by the churches are attlac-
tive and bring JOY to the hearts of the
little folks in such churches, yet the
spirit of Christmas is broader than
any UNCONVENTIONAL creed or obser-
vance. Christmas typifies that spirit
which today stands for all that is
good in the world and for everything
which civilization has accomplished
of good in two thousand years. 1t is
fitting that such spirit should be made
plain to all the children irrespective
of creed or belief and this just what
the community Christmas gathering
will tend to do.
