Cooling of a Little in Europe

Close observers think they may now

such proposals may be made is at least
to be taken as showing the set OF the

that the end is near AT hand. but when

that are as thrifty looking as trees are
in any country and they are large e.

has Z fine lot Of poplar treas grown
from slips. They are now three years
old and are about 20 feet high. His
black locust trees are also making fire

raised without any irrigation. simply
by careful cultivation.

not hesitate to make II known to Geo.
King or some one working with him.

English Pound
 SIumps to $4.50
Drop is Felt All Over World Before War Worlds Standard
 Value was Quoted at $5.02- Premium 16 Cents.

Little Rock, Sept. 3.-The unpre- cedented drop in the market value of the English pound sterling, is being felt all over the world. Before the war the pound, the worlds standard of value, was quoted at $5.O2, a pre- mium of 16 cents, the normal value be- ing $4.S615. During the last few weeks it has been taking a slump, and has reached $4.50, the lowest ever known in the history of the world.
 That this is felt everywhere is shown by the fact that one Little Rock jobber buy 1000 bags of coffee month in Brazil and pays for it in English sterling. A year ago he paid Is cents premium for pound, now he can get it at 36 cents discount, a difference of 52 cents on each $5 purchase, or 10 per cent.

ARKANSAS A COAL
 PRODUCER IN 1S4O.

The United States census for 1S40 showed that small quantity of coal (220 short tons) was mined in Arkan- sas during that year. With the ex- ception of 9,972 short tons mined in Missouri and 400 tons in Iowa, this was the only coal produced west of the Mississippi from which any coal production was reported. The coal industry of the State did not develop very rapidly during the earlier years; from 1881 to 1902, however, the rro- duction increased pretty regularly, but for the last 12 years it has re- mained practically stationary. The maximum production of 2,G7) 43S short tons was attained in 1907.

PRESCOTT CHATEAU.
 QUA CLOSES TONIGHT
Big Musical Number Saved for Last Day. Prescott Will Have Chautauqua Next Year.-Fif- ty Men Agree to Sign Contract

Tonight is the fifth and last day of the 1915 Prescott Chautauoua and the program for the past five days has more than pleased the people. Before the first three days were over a number of citizens remarked that they had received their moneys worth. The program as whole was much better than last year and the Chau- tauqua people have promised us a still better program for 1916.
 The McCord Trio opened the pro- gram on the fourth day and when it comes to entertaining, this little com pany had the goods. The child inn personation work of Mrs McCord was exceptionally well rendered. As an extra treat for the afternoon program Supt. Knight had Joe R. Hanley give a twenty minute address on "The Pa triotism of Peace."
 The program last night was opened by the McCord Trio following which MT. Hanley gave his address, "The Modern Crusader" This lecture is one that appealed to the common peo- pie and every one that heard him last night carried home a message that will never be forgotten. If the Chau- tauqua people will bring us more lec- turers like Hanley who is not afraid to say exactly what he thinks the peo- pie of Prescott will be glad.
 His audience was at one time con- vulsing with laughter and a few mom- ents later every one would be deathly still while he was driving home a truth.
 Prescott is to have Chautauqua next year. At the tent last night if ty men agreed to sign the contract to bring the Redpath Vawter people back to this city and in less than ten min utes after W. V. Tompkins had asked for the first signer the required num- Der was obtained. It is that kind of get-together spirit that make ev- erything successful, and we predict that next year that Prescott in place of selling the required 400 tickets will sell from 300 to 600.
 The entire program tonight will be given by "The Cavaliers"

INDUSTRIAL COMMIS.
 SI0NER GIVES ADVICE
June Corn Planted Now Will Make Considerable Growth of FOdder-Winter Oats and Rye for Pasture, Wheat in Spring.

Little Rock, Sept. 3.-W. R. Beat tie, Agricultural and Industrial Com missioner of the Cotton Belt, gives the following timely advice to river bot tom farmers who have lost their crops from floods this year:
 "June corn if planted at present will make a considerable growth of fodder that can be cut and cured just before frost time. Cowpeas will also make fair growth from this time on. These are about the only regular farm, crops that it would be worth while to plant at this late date, except winter oats and rye for pasture, and wheat for spring crop. Burr clover and crimson clover could also be planted for pasture.
 "In the line of foods for the family turnips, radishes, string beans, beets and cabbage can be planted. If a supply of onion sets could be proqur- ed, these would make during the late fall and furnish green onions during the entire winter. A late crop of Irish potatoes might be grown, how ever, it is doubtful if the seed can be procured.
 q believe that some special effort should be made to get the farmers in the overflow districts to attempt to grow something that will hold with their living during the winter"
