BY F. w. DE CROIX.

Speaking Of first impressions of a
city that the stranger receives when
arriving at a new town reminds me
Of trying to tell a story to man who
perhaps has heard the same story be-
fore, many a time. However, my first
impression OF Pine Bluff, as l stepped
off the train, after gaining Main street,
was that Pine Bluff is "some town.
After residing here 4S hours I am OF
the same opinion. II
was struck with, the width of the
streets. 1T affords greater facilities
and a greater amount Of fresh air. I
was impressed with the earnest eff
forts of the retail merchants iih their
display of their stocks in trade. As
1 proceeded further, other impress
sions crowded themselves upon me,
indicating commercial activity and a
get-there spirit. 1 made my way to
the Jefferson hotel, where the sunny
smile of the clerk greeted me cordial
ly with pen poised for registering.
was delighted with the real courtesy
and the excellent service of this fine
hotel. AS l sat at the dining table,
l picked up form letter issued by
luG lOCdl COIlIliC1 Cld1 VI SlulAoClO1l
calling attention to some civic i'm
provement which gave me another
jolt that Pine Bluff was up and doing.
1t was a unique method of attracting
attention for the towns interests and
master stroke of true publicity.
l walked down Main street after
dinner and was met with glare OF
the white Way 1t presaged a
greater white Way" in the near time
to come.
There is a metropolitan dash and
ginger about Pine Bluff that is pleas
ing to the eye of the stranger who is
accustomed to busy throngs and a
busy mart. Many merchants with
whom l gently eased into conversation
will no doubt recall the stranger who
smilingly remarked to them, II de-
clare, sir, Pine Bluff is really Won
der city"
AS l made my way further, the fol
lowing morning, into the business dis
trict, l took greater notice of the
buildings, the banks, the street condi-
tons, and was further delighted when

FINANCIAL AID FOR FARMERS.

Bankers representing 60 per cent
Of the cot ON growing section reached
an agreement at Memphis Tuesday to
held the price of October cotton to s
cents or more per pound, and to
secure a cash market for Arkansas
Gs,000,O00 bushels corn crop that will
g.ve the growers 10 cents more per
Eushel than the price that Will prevail
when the Northern crop reaches the
market in November. This is to be
done through extending loans to the
farmers Discussing the plan, George
w. Rogers, president of ;he Arkan-
SIS Bankers association, said:
ARKANSAS corn crop this year will
be the greatest in the history of the
state. On account of the long grow
ing season in the state the corn will!
lTatura much earlier than in the
Northern states and hence will bring
a price in September 10 cents d
bushel higher than if held until De-
cember. II was decided at the meeting
to begin at once to secure central
market for the corn crop OF the state,
accumulate at this market all the
corn which the farmers want to sell
and then export it before the North
ern crop is put on the market. II
grain men of Little Rock Or Memphis
or both will agree to take the corn
the farmer can sell his corn at any
town in the state, for then there will
be another market at which 1t can -
sold and there will be no reason for
holding the corn Or losing money OF
the crop.
"To support the cotton market the
bankers present and many OF the
merchants sgreed to make reasonable
loans to the farmers to enable them
to hold their cotton for a price OF
eight CENTS a pound or more ana to
recommend to their associates IN

loans be made The price of cotton

EINS0N FOR THE NAVY.

Evidently Thomas A. Edison is
going to break away from his unique
record OF never having invented a
machine for the destruction of life 1t
is comfort for Americans 10 realize
that whatever mechanical improve
ments his genius may bring to the
lazy, it will be exclusively to our
ships, provided, of course, that a
boastful naval policy does not MAKE
them an open boat to ali the world.
Taken by and large, the United
States navy has produced more
epoch-making improvements than any
ether single navy. From the time OF
tae war of 1912, when ship for ship
we had the most efficient navy in the
world, down through the civil war,
when with a single blow John Erics-
sons Monitor revolutionized nava!
warfare, and in later years when
Simon Lake and John Holland, In
ventors of the submarine, showed
that the undersea boat was practi-
cable, our navy has been in the fore
front.
But our improvements have not as
a rule been well guarded. There has
been a tendency to talk too much.
One we'll remembers the days of Lake
and Holland. Their inventions were
detailed throughout the press ana as
\ consequence throughout the world.
We did not maintain an advantage
following the invention of submarines
and soon the American invention was
made use Of to a far greater extent b.
others nations, until now we, ahave
been ontdistanced ~

GERMANS DESTROY 135
 HOSTILE AEROPLANEs

BERLIN, July 26.-The German and Austro-JIungarian troops have so far brought down 135 hostile aeroplanes, according to the Cologne Gazette The list includes 57 French machines, 47 British, 26 Russian and 3 Belgian.

 No figures have been made public as to the losses of the German air corps.

BELGRADE SUFFERS
 GREATLY FROM WAR

BELGRADE, July 26.--In none of Europe's capitals is the meaning of war time economy so thoroughly understood as in Belgrade. Only about one-fourth of the inhabitants of the there, and these subslst under great difficulties. There are no street cars or cabs. Many articles of common use are so scarce as to be practically unobtainable Even the upper class homes have dispensed with servants.
 It has become a general custom to cook meals but once daily. The food thus prepared is placed on a buffet 10 suffice for the day, and it is generally eaten standing, for people appear to be too busy with the various wartime occupations to go through a formality in connection with their sustenance.
 Families which would otherwise be destitute obtain small allowance from the government, limited to six cents a day for a woman and two censt a day for each child.
 All the cities and important build ings are practically in ruins as a result of the repeated bombardments from the Austrian batteries in the town of Semlin, just across the river.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 WILL MEET TONIGHT

A regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held tonight and a full attendance of the members is requested. Upon the return of the steamer Watson from the westward, Col. Sleicher, editor of Leslie's Weekly, will be in Cordova long enough to meet with the Chamber and gather what information is available as to the resources of the Copper River valley to be used in connection with a series of articles he intends publishing on this northern empire.

GREAT DEMAND FOR
 SECOND HAND TONNAGE

LONDON, July 26.-The demand for secondhand tonnage continues un abated and high prices are being paid, largely because merchant ship building is at stand still, while the yards are engaged on government work. An instance of the keen demand for tonnage is the recent sale of the Austrian steamer Concadoro, which was captured at Alexandria, Although this vessel was sold year ago last March for $2S,5OO it was knocked down at $SO5OO, nearly three times its previous record, at the recent sale.
