Other Work to Start.

According to Mr.. Cole the work OF
demonstrating the rest of the bridge
will be started this winter, as soon,
he says, as materials can be transport
ed here. The work will be started
on the Illinois side of the river. 1t
Will be carried on without interruption
to either railroad or vehicle traffic.
? 1t is much regretted by local people
that this delay in rebuilding the bridge
is inevitable. The contract for the
work Of reconstructing the draw span
had but recently been awarded by the
bridge company, according to their
announcement, and it had been said
the work would be started at once.
Many men living here who are out OF
employment had hoped to secure work
when this Improvement was started

WHAT BECAME OF SUBMARINE!
Submarine That Sunk the Arabic Has
 Been Reported Lost.

London, Sept. 1.-The admiralty has given out no information concerning the fate of the German submarine which sank the Arabic. Whether such information is in it's possession is unknown, and it is the policy of the admiralty to withhold news of this character. Unofficial reports that the submarine has been sunk are being circulated widely. It is said the craft attemuted to torpedo the British steamer Nicosian, which arrived in Liverpool from New Orleans August 24, five days after the .hrabic went down.
 Acording to this account, the Nicos- ian escaped and the submarine, while attempting to sink her. fell victim to patrol boat.
 In Liverpool the report is current that the submarine has been captured and not sunk.

 With fhe State.

The deficit of Arkansas was not quite wiped out, even for a few days.

MUCH COUNTERFEIT MONEY
Little Rock is Having \ Flood of
 Bad Silver Dollars.

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-(Special)- )- For several weeks there has been a fCOd of counterfeit silver dollars in Little Rock. It has been estimated by oetectives that there have been pro- bably 800 put in circulation. There is not a bank that detected some of the bogus coin. There appears to be two counterfeit issues. One is dated 1889, and is most excellent one, with al- most true cClor weight and ring. It is most dangerous counterfeit, since it is so easily accepted. The other is dated 1879, and is very poor. It is made of lead, and has a dead ring. A counterfeit $20 gold coin has also been found, It is believed that the counter feits are made not far from Little Rock.

Berlin Paper Heartily Comments At.
 titude of President Wilson.

Berlin, Germany, Sept 1.-The na- tional paper, Zeitung, today published a leading article headed, Wilson, Bryan and Roosevent," which express es ungrudging admiration for Wilson
 The article says Wilson's action of withholding decision regarding the sinking of the Arabic until Germany was heard from opened the way for a friendly discussion of the matter.
 The paper pictures Wilson standing between the two rivals, with Bryan calling upon the Americans for peace at any price, and Roosevelt s'nmon- ing them to make war against Ger many.
 It says, while the Germans are dis satisfied with Wilson's attitude on submarine warfare, the president can be depended upon to further withstand "unlucky Bryan and the activities Of the astute politician Roosevent."
 The statement says Germany earn estly desires to retain the traditional American friendship.

This is intended to hold the walls solid and prevent any crack spreading to the walls should one start in the foundation. The brick already laid will have to be torn down for this reason. To have torn out the concrete foundations would have cost a great deal of money, and to build it over would cost a great deal more.

FIRST NATIONAL, BANK TO HAN
 DIE COTTON
First National Bank in Position to Handle Every Bale in Little
 River County if Necessary.

You will notice the important
 announcement of the First Nat.
 iOnal Bank of Ashdown, in this
 issue of the News. They are now
 in position as member of the
 Federal Reserve system to joan
 money on cotton, held in any
 bonded warehouse in Little River
 County. The president, R. E. Major. and cashier, Frank Me
 Canm, announced to the News
 that through the assistance of the
 Government they would handle
 any amount of cotton, even if it
 included every bale grown in the
 county. Their proposition to the
 Government was not nampered Ly
 any limits and provides by any
 contingencies.
 For the county to avail itself of this opportunity it will be necessary to bond the warehouses already built and if necessary enlarge these and build more in towns in the county where warehouses are not already provided. These warehouses must make a bond covering all warehouse receipts as guarantee to the bank that the actual cotton is there. This is not difficult, but important
 The News wants to call it's farmer readers attention to the important points in way of benefits derived. Mar ket conditions may be such you. would not care to store your cotton or draw money on it. This will not render this plan any the less beneficial. The fact that you do not have to sell, the fact that you can get money tc, hold the cotton, the fact that you have a warehouse to hold it, is bound to boost the price It is bound to show the cOttcn speculator that the situation is not in, his hands. It will show him that you do not have to sell, and that the United States Government is back of you and protecting you. If your town has no warehouse, see that ome is provided and without delay. It will even if never bale is stored in it. On the other hand this proposition is no bluff It means business, and if the price is net right store every bale of cotton and draw the money. The req son the cotton farmer has heretofore net been able to control the situation was because he could not hold his cotton. he had to sell and nobody knew this better than the speculator. By getting busy and doing little CO., operating the situation is now in your hands
 See that your warehouses have themselves bonded; see to it now It is up to you. The banks and the Gov ernment will do their part. This will apply tc every town in the county. Remember that Remember that you do not have to bring your cCttcn to Ashdown if your town has ware house. See that your town has one. If we are correctly infcrmed, Ash down and Wilton have the cnly ware houses, and they are not yet bonded so far as we know See that they meet the requirements. This will not in the least interfere with any other selling plan that you might have, but will strengthen it. It is not a local propcsitioa, but general.
