COTTON 100 PER
 CENT HIGHER THIS YEAR

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-Year ago lint CTS were not considered valuable. Now it is a by-product of cotton that yields return worth while. The Board of Trade Bulletin gives the following re- view of the inter market, from one of the local dealers:
 At this time last year we were buying linters at 1 cent per pound, while they are being quoted at pres ent at 6 to 715 cents per pound It developed some time ago that short fiber cotton which we call linters, used largely in the manufacture of cotton felt mattresses, was just suitable for the manufacture of gun cotton as the long staple product, which was more expensive, and the consumption has been something enormous. We are receiving large orders from the Butler Bros. stores, Larkin of Buffalo, the Fair of Chicago, and Famous and Barr of St. Louis, and prices are 100 per cent higher than last year"

SAFE FARMING" ALWAYS
Outline of Program Recommended by Government Specialists to Se- cure Safety in the Cotton Belt.

Washington, D. C., Nov. IA pro- gram of Safe Farming" for the South is outlined in a circular which the United States Department of Ag- riculture has sent to bankers, business men and farmers in the cotton States. The history of agriculture in the South, it has been said, has been one of lean years and fat years. Short crops and high prices have almost in- variably been followed by big crops and low prices and, in consequence, the farmer has experienced much dis tress. The increased attention which has recently been given to supporting the people upon the land has already resulted in much good, but there is some danger, it is pointed out, that, with the price of cotton rising, there will be a tendency for farmers to re- turn to the old system of gambling on cotton. If the people of the South produced their own living, the circular points out, it would steady the whole system and keep the boat from rock ing. The safety measures recom- mended are as follows:
 First: Produce a home garden for every family on the farm, the year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes suffi- cient to supply the family with food of this character. Where feasible, have patch of sorghum or other cane to produce syrup for the family.
 Second: Produce the corn neces- sary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with ab- solute safety.
 Third: Produce the necessary oats and other small grain to supplement the corn as food. Pay attention to winter grazing.
 Fourth: Produce hay and forage from some forage crop, sufficient to supply all of the live stock on the farm. Use legumes such as clover, sowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and alfalfa for the production of hay and to enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus.
 Fifth: Produce the meat necessary to supply the people, through increas- ed attention to poultry and hogs, es- pecially. Plan to increase gradually. the number of cattle and other live stock so as to have a sufficient num- Der to consume the waste products of the farm and make the waste lands productive.
 Sixth: After all of these things have been amply provided for, pro duce cotton for the market.

Attack Upon Carranza Garrison Only Matter of Hours.-ViIla Says He Will Attack Regard less of Uncle Sam.

Douglas, Ariz., Oct. 31.-General Francisco Villa began moving his troops into position tonight for an at tack on Agua Prieta, Sonora. opposite here, regardless, he personally de- clared, of any consequences or effects from the United States. Advance cav airy of the invaders halted late today three and one-half miles east of Agua Prieta.
 Gen. Franscisco Villa, who arrived at the international border several miles east of here a few hours earlier talked with Americans across the boundary and announced he intended to attack the Mexican town, regard less of any action United States troops might take.
 The main body of Villa soldiers formed juncture with their advance troops at the Gallardo ranch, IS miles southeast of Augua Prieta. The at tacking army then started forward for the final advance on the Carranza defenses.
 Col. Florencio Diaz, commanding approximately 1,500 cavalry, preceded the invaders at the Gallardo ranch anl halted his forces just beyond range of the guns of Gen. P Elias Gales, Carranza commander at Agua Prieta.
 Fired at Spy.
 Brig. Gen. Thomas F. Davis, com manding United States troops en- trenched near the Mexican line, made careful inspection of his men. He also kept close watch of the MeXi- can military movements, plainly to be seen from the American side of the border.
 Thousands of spectators witnessed during the afternoon the first firing incident to the expected attack. A horseman believed to have been a Car ranza spy suddenly broke away from the Villa column and raced for his life from a shower of bullets for the be- leaguered Mexican town.
 Several of the Villa soldiers went in pursuit, firing as they rode, but the man reached Agua Prieta apparent ly uninjured.
 "If necessary, 1 will fight the Unit ed States army assembled along the border" Villa asserted after hearing this afternoon for the first time that the American government had given permission for Carranza to transport troops from Eagle Pass, Texas, to re- enforce the garrison at Agua Prieta.
 Four of these troop trains arrived tonight, bringing the total fighting men of the garrison commanded by Gen. P. Elias Gales to approximate ly 6,000 men.

Wona,, Is Afflicted
With Unusual Ma1ady

Mrs. Margaret Pfantz. one of the
oldest women Of State Center. is very
seriously sick at her home of tumor of
the larynx. Her condition is SO serious
that it is feared she may not recover.
The malady to which she has fallen
victim is an uncommon. even an I'M
usual one. that local specialists have
seldom encountered. The tumor has
grown in size in the left side of Mrs.
Pfantz's larynN until it now protrudes
about half an inch into the wind pipe.
Recently Mrs. Pfantz has been seized
with spasnas of strangling and her con-
dition becomes so alarming in these
attacks that they are especially dread
ed. The tumor. which is one OF the
cartilage of the larynX, is of malig-
naat type and first made its appear
ance about three years ago. Surgery
would probably be resorted to but for
Mrs. Pfaatz' age. She is SIS and fear
is entertained that she would not sur
vive such an ordeal.
