BUSY

Peals of laughter came from the presl- dents room as the secretary stepped out.
 "Mr Green is too busy to see you at present" said the secretary, politely.
 "I'm sorry" said the man who called on business. "Will you go back and tell MT. Green that I've got two stories just as good as the one he's heard, if he'll let me in to tell them ?"-Detroit Free Press.

It's Story Bristies With Great Names

But before touching upon the movement that began with the fall of GunStantnopie. let Us glance at the subsequent history of the city itself. Mohammcd II. did but use his conquest of the city ds vantage ground for further conquest and for q while it seemed as though all Eastern and southern Europe would be overcome. TWO romantic names rise up amidst story that briSt1CS with great names, aS ch'et ChechS and hindranCcs to the spread of the Mo hammcdan poWcr-JOhn IIunNadi, the Hun gartan patriot. and Scandprbcg, the hero of Albania IIunvad's name Is better known today in connection with medicinal water much used in Europe than with the defense of Belgrade. but in those days HunEadl and RClgradn were acclaimed as the hu warkS of Christendom against the nhdei; S"andorhcg captured in youth and framed as a Mohammedan, in mature age put him self at the head of the resistance of his native country. and Is said to have killed 3 ,0OO Turks with his OW nhand.

ATTENTION TRANSFERRED
 FROM HOT SPRINGS TO L. K.

The attention of the state is to be transferred from Hot Springs to Lit tie Rock in the matter of compre- hensive State Fair, if the plans of the Little Rock business men are realized. After Hot Springs had been given a fair chance to make a success of the enterprise, and had then decided to give it up, the directors of the Pulas- Ri County Fair Association have de- cided to undertake it. It has been found that a County Fair is not a success in Pulaski county, because it is not big enough to attract outside patronage, and there is not enough support in the county for it.
 While distinct, the Made-in-Arkan- sas Exposition, to be given on broad CT scale next year. will readily corre- late with the State Fair plans, and it is believed that the enterprise can be made to grow into a state institu- ton that will be a great success.

PROPOSALS WILL
 HAVE OPPOSITION
Presbyterians at Fayetteville to Discuss Union and Removal of Church SchoOl.-Big Majority Favor Remaining at BatesviIle

Fayetteville, Nov. 1.-The Synod of Arkansas, composed of representatives of all the Southern Presbyterian churches in Arkansas, in annual ses- sion here, today decided on Fordyce as the next meeting place.
 The work and progress of Sunday school and young peoples work was the subject of devotional exercises this morning. J. V. Johnson of Little Rock presided. Mr. Johnson and Dr. G. II. Steen of Dardanelle spoke. Be- fore the devotional services routine business was transacted, which con- sisted principally of committee re- ports. Dr. Van Lear reported for the Committees on Educational and Minis terial Relief, and Dr. Norris reported for the Committee on Systematic Ben efence
 This afternoon the principal speak CTS were Dr. w. H. Miley of Louisville Ky, secretary of evangelism and Dr. Egbert w. Smith of Nashville, secre- tary of Foreign Missions. It is ex- pected that two important questions will be disposed of tomorrow.
 It is believed that action will be taken on an implied proposal to re- move Arkansas College from Bates vile. It is believed a big majority of the representatives favor allowing the college to remain at Batesvile.
 The. Rev Hay Watson Smith is also expected to initiate a move which is likely to have opposition. He will in- troduce a resolution urging the union of the Southern and Northern Presby- terian churches. Such a resolution re- gently passed a similar meeting of the Northern Presbyterian church of Ark ansas and has many advocates among the Southern branrh in session now

EARLY INCREASE IN
 COTTON LOST LATER
Market Jumps $2.50 Per Bale ali the Opening-ClOse 3 to 5 Points Up.-COvering was Ac- tive on Upward Movement.

New York, Nov. 11.-A further ad- vance in the cotton market during to- days early trading carried January contracts up to 11.90c., or about $2.5O per bale above the low level of last Tuesday, but prices later weakened. with January selling back to 11.76c. or to practically last nights closing figures and the close was steady at a net gain of only 3 to points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 10 to 12 points, and after some little irregularity, as result of realizing, sold 13 to Is points above last nights closing figures during the middle of the morning. The firmness in Liverpool, bullish overnight spot ad- vances from the South and unfavor- able weather prospects with official predictions for freezing weather in parts of Oklahoma stimulated the buy ing movement, while some traders also expressed an apprehension that should the Suez canal be closed as suggested by some of the private reports, it would interfere with European impor- tations of Indian cotton.
 Covering was active on the upward movement, which carried December contracts up to 11.74c and March at 1212c or about 13 to 16 points net higher, and some of the buying here from houses with Liverpool connec- tions suggested that hedges against cotton held in the South were being transferred to Liverpool and might be followed by a bulge in the export movement, owing to the wider differ eaees. The buying for long account, however, failed to broaden as rapid ly as some had evidently anticipated and as soon as business began to taper off offerings increased, with prices later selling back to about last nights closing figures, under heavy realizing part of which came from some of the more prominent recent buyers
 Rallies of 1 to 3 points at the close reflected unfavorable weather advices from Oklahoma and sentiment was rather nervous in the late trading

UNUSED RICE STRAW
 FOR MAKING PAPER
This Agricultural Waste Might
 Become Asset to State and Bureau of Plant Industry Con- template making Investigation

Little Rock, Nov. 12-The utiliza- tion of unused rice straw in the manu- fracture of paper is engaging the at tention of the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry. Chas. J. Branch, Chief in charge, in a letter to Commissioner Page says:
 Tt would seem that this agricultu- ral waste might become an asset to the state, and the Department has contemplated looking into the matter at different times. The unsettled con- dition of the paper raw material mar ket, and the desire of paper manu- facturers to be independent of for eign raw materials, have served as an incentive for investigation additional sources of paper-making raw mater ials. Such an industry in your sec tion would have advantages of proxi- mity to raw material supply and a market of it's own. The Department would like to be of aid in developing such an industry, but must use discre- tion in the selection of the parties with whom to cooperate.
 Ut would be the intention of the department to ascertain the full and exact agricultural conditions pertain ing to rice straw, the most suitable To- cality in which to consider establish ment of paper or board industry, and to make the investigation along these lines which would be most feasible and conservative to the interest of the state and paper trade"
 In replying to this communication, Commissioner Page says that he re- gards Stuttgart as the best point for experimental purposes and suggests Fred A. Gibson, large grower of rice, as a good man to consult.

PREMIER ASOUITH
 K SENTS COMMENT
Emphatically Denies that Resig- nation of Lord Kitchener was Ever Rendered Before Depart
 ure for Near Eastern Front.

London, Nov. 11-During the course of discussion in the House of Commons on the suspension of the Glbe newspaper, J. M. Hogge, mem Der for East Edinburgh, declared his belief that the statement that Lord Kitchener had resigned was true and that the seizure of the paper because of the publication of the statement was not justified. Premier Asquith said MT. Hogge accused him of deliberate and inexcusable false hood' and to make the matter quite clear he declared:
 Lord Kitchener never rendered his resignation to either the king nor myself the only two persons to whom he could have rendered it. The deci- sion to send Lord Kitchener to the near east, the premier added, was taken by the cabinet November Al serious in- formation which led the government to make the decision was brought to their knowledge on Wednesday.
 In the interest of public health, he protested the charge that the King was being directed against the head of the government-as likely if be- lieved to do incalculable harm against the country throughout the world. He repudiated the charge that the Globe had been signaled out for special treatment. Mr. Hogge and William of Pringle, members for northwest Lanarkshire, however, insisted that other papers which were equally guilty had not been proceeded against.
 Sir John Simmon, home secretary, pointed out that the Globe was in an entirely different position from the other papers in that it had ig- nored the warning of the press bu- reau on Thursday night in the form of request made to all the papers that no reference should be made of Earl Kitchener's movement until fur ther notice
