SYSTEMATIC COURSES STUDY COMMON SCHOOL
Major Activity in New Educa- tional Campaign-Step Taken in Practically Every County having Superintendents.

Little Rock, Dec. 11.-One of the major activities in the new education- al campaign of the state is the atten- tion that is being given to the estab- lishment of systematic and carefully arranged courses of study for the common schools. This step has been taken in practically every county where superintendency prevails, and in some that still have only the county examiners.
 An attractive and model Course of Study is that which has just been is sued by J. D. Swift, County Superin- tendent of Mississippi county. Full courses for the eight years work are given, and the Superintendent says: Eighty per cent of the children in Arkansas receive all their education in the county school district schols. Let us strive to give them the same advantages found in our cities and towns"

TENSION IS NEAR.
 " AT BREAKING
cituation Between Austria and
 1T. S. Recognized as Fully as
 Serious as That Between Ger man and U. s. over Arabic case

\ Washington, Dec. 10.-Diplomatic
 .olations with Austria are in grave danger of being broken off over the ,inking of the Ancona with the loss of American lives. All officials here continue to preserve silence over the oscotiations with Austria but through tbe veil which has been drawn is seen q crisis just as grave as that which attended the submarine negotiations with Germany.
 The question of continuing diplo- matic relations may be said to de- pend on a satisfactory reply to Sec retary Lansing's notes which now urobably is before the Vienna for eign office. The situation tonight is tense and fraught with possibilities.
 It is compared to the last day of the Arabic negotiations with Germany when probably no one but the presi- dent himself knew how close the country was to severance of diplo- matic relations with Berlin. Officials of the state department will not dis cuss the American note even so far as to say whether they know if it has reached Vienna.
 A further complication developed to- day when it was disclosed that an Austrian submarine which shelled the American Standard Oil Company's tankship Petrolite in the Mediteeran- can last week sent a boarding party and took part of the ships provisions. This news came in consular dispatch from Algiers and was the first official word of the safety of the Petrolite which was not greatly damaged by the shelling, and proceeded to Algiers with one man slightly wounded.
 So far as the Petrolite is concern ed there probably will be no action by state department until more complete reports are received showing the exact circumstances under which the vessel was attacked. If the tanker was shelled while trying to escape in dis regard of warning from the submarine there would be no complaint on that score. When she did stop and submit to search however in view of officials here the submarine commander on hndlng her a neutral ship bound on legitimate business had no right to seize her property.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Government Reports on Ginned and Total Factors in Infiuenc- ing Prices-Sentiment at the Close of Week Unsettled.

New York, Dec. 10.-Fluctuation Tn the cotton market during the past week have appeared largely due to an adjustment of accounts inspired by the two government reports. The census figures on Wednesday showing 9,711,- 900 bales gined to December l were considered in line with the smaller es- inmates of the yield, but had been pre- ceded by a considerable advance, and shortly after their publication the market showed gain of approximate ly $7 a bale from the low level of November, with March contracts sell ing at 13 cents. This proved the sig nal for heavy realizing, with the dis position to take profits probably in creasing by lingering uncertainty as to the exact showing of today's official crop estimate, and there were reac- tions of several points from the best with today's market rather nervous and unsettled.
 The government report indicating a yield for the season of II, ,161 ,000 bales of 500 pounds gross, excluding lint CTS, was very closely in line with ex- pectations and was immediately fol- lowed by further break of about 10 points this afternoon, but decline of about $1.85 from the high prices of Wednesday the market was steadied by active foreign and trade buying. The chief buying on declines during the entire week has been attributed to houses with Liverpool connections. Earlier in the season Liverpool was heavy seller here against purchases in the English market at a time when the two markets were much closer to- gether. Meanwhile, stocks of cotton in Liverpool have been drawn down with this weeks private advices es- maining supply already has been sold to spinners and the differences be- tween the two markets have widened fully a cent a pound. Even this is said to fall short of a profitable ship ping parity, owing to further advices in ocean freight rates, but it has been sufficient to attract heavy realizing by straddle shorts and the outstanding in terest of this sort is supposed to have been reduced by nearly quarter of a million bales. Trade interests also have been moderate buyers against calling by spinners and favorable do- mestic trade reports encoraged the early week advances. Sentiment at the close of the week however, appear. ed to be more or less unsettled, owing to bearish predictions of increased spot offerings should the small crop es- innate fail to stimulate demand.

QUlNlNE SELLS AT
 9OCTS. WHOLESALE
Price Has. Dropped From the $2.50 an Ounce Asked a Month AgO-Hoarding Caused High Cost.

The price of quinine, which scared several weeks ago until it commanded $2.50 an ounce, has dropped to 90 cents an ounce, wholesale, in 60 days, ac- cording to John L. Bond, IT,, of the Bond Drug Company, Little Rock, wholesale dealers. Other drugs are a bit lower in some instances than they have been. Dealers do not expect the low prices to continue after the first of the year.
 Hoarding is attributed to an advance of 300 per cent in some of the chief drugs. The present partial relief is due to the letting loose of hoarded supplies when the high tide of prices was reached about a month ago. Those who foresaw what was coming bought all they could lay hands on and when prices reached the high-water mark, started selling and reaping rich harvest. The result was to send the prices down. The stocks turned loose only partially meet the needs, how ever, and it is expected that in short time prices will again advance rapid ly.
 Quinine is one of the drugs affected Other drugs, however, are increasing in price and some are commanding the high figure reached few months ago.
 Alcohol Advances.
 Wood alcohol and denatured alcohol both are advancing rapidly. Epson salts that cost cent before the war; now costs 2 1-2 cents, and the price is going up. Potash products also are up. Red prussiate of potash, used in making blue prints and extensively in printing, has jumped from 35 and 40 cents to $7.50.
 A few days ago the word came from New York that the allies were trying to get 100000 ounces of quinine, which is a bigger supply than New York can furnish. If this order is filled, prices likely will soar higher than the record already established.
 The only thing that will relieve the situation will be for the allies to raise the embargo at London and Am sterdam on Ceylon bark and South American bark, which are needed for the manufacture of the drug. There is said to be some prospect that the mbargo will be raised, as means of enabling the United States to supply the warning nations with the supply that they need. If this is done, this country will also benefit by the re- duced prices.
