ed and for Wednesday and Thursday
Jesse L. Lasky will offer the admira-
BILE artist, Charles Richman in the
famous comedy drama. "The Man
from Home" written by Booth Tark-
ington and Harry Leon Wilson. This
play enjoyed a number of years of
continued success on the legitimate
stage and its advent in motion pic

vancement of this wonderfully grow
ing industry. The story of Daniel

the ward of his best friend from the
clutches of a seheming count forms
the basis of the story. How the true,
staunch loyalty of the American
circumvents and foils the william is
intensely told in five reels and two
hundred and forty-one scenes of mo-
ton pictures.
On Friday comes the eighth in
stallment of the popular BLACK Box
serial together with a highly inter
esting supporting program. Para
mount pictures have thoroughly
popularized themselves with the play
goers of this city and hundreds OF
people who previous to the introduc-
tion of these meritorious films at the
Ditmas never thought of attending
motion picture exhibition, are
seen nightly in the crowds that are
packing the cozy State street pic
ture play house.

HOUSE RECEIVED 20i
 BILLS; SENATE S5
Each Branch has Practically Passed Upon 25 per cent of Bills-indi- cations are that Number of
 Bills will Reach 600.

Little Rock. Jan. 25.-At the close of the second week of the General Assembly. the House had received 2O4 bills. and the Senate 85, and each branch had passed upon practically 20 per cent of three measures. The Senate passed 21 bills on to the House and the House sent 5 bills to the Senate with its approval. The Senate passed 2 of the House bills and the balance are pending. Most of them will be read third time Tuesday and passed with a rush. The House has passed but four Senate bills.
 Senator Moore of Phillips is the man with the high per centage in the Senate, four bills with his name attached having been passed in the Senate. and one has gone through both branches. Mir. Wilson of Jefferson is the high man in the House. There are nine men in the House who are au- thors of two bills which have passed, put NIT. Wilson ties them there, and being joint author of another which has passed, goes them half bill bet ter Five men in the Senate have in- troduced two bills which have been passed on to the House.
 From present indications the num- Der of bills to be considered this ses- sion will reach at least 600, for there are yet eight weeks of the session, and 2Ol in the House is 9 good start on this number. The Senate never introduces as many bills as the House, u lacking the membership of the House and the number of bills intro duced Is in proportion to the member ship.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Net Result of Trading at New Orleans
 Is gain of 13 to l5 Points.

New Orleans, aJn. 24.-Cotton made important advances last week, rising to new high levels for the season and showing strength of it's own in the ace of continued talk of widereactions. Weekend reactions were not well sus- tained and the net results of the weeks trading was an advance of 13 to 15 points. At the highest the trading months were 52 to 55 points over last weeks close.
 The strength of Southern spot mar kets and the heavy export movement were the main bullish influences. against the market was the fact that important short lines had been cover ed and replaced by growing long in terest and talk of an overbought state of affairs.
 Exports last week were almost 100,- 900 bales larger than for the same week last year-26S,66 bales, against 173,1S2.

NINE CENTS PER
 POUND TO RAISE COTTON
A. D. McNair, United States Govern ment Agriculturist, Estimates Average cost Raising Cotton
 in 1914 is 9 Cents ID.

A. D. McNair, United States gov ernment agriculturalist, in connection with the Arkansas department, is preparing statistics concerning the price of growing cotton and corn in Arkansas, and so far as he has pro- gressed, taking hill land in one coun- ty, but from forty wildly separated farms, and using 800 acres in the cal culation, he finds that it has cost 9 cents per pound to raise cotton in the past year. The government investi- gator during the past year visited practically every section of the state, and most counties saw him each month In making his present calculation, he has taken Faulkner county, but the yield and expense of cultivation in other counties will be considered lat CT, and when all are completed an average for the state will be given.
 The government expert has gone at his work in most business like manner, charging foe the use of mules and horses, as well as wages for the farm hands, and even rent on the barns. In the caluculation, 10 cents per hour is allowed farm hands, a price paid in most sections during the past year, but higher than what will be paid next year, according to MT. McNair, who states that the fal IT. CTS have already begun to curtail ex- penses there, paying only little over half what was formerly paid.

 It is expected that fully two thirds of the oil manufacturers of Arkan-
 sas, and the large laundry operators will be present, for the Garrett act Twill separate the oil mills and the gins preventing the ownership of gins all over the state by the oil mills, which Senator Garrett states is the best way to secure an advance of price in seed.

COTTON GINNED TO
 JANUARY 16, 14,9O7,942 BALES
Output From January to January 15 FOOts Up 46O,149 Bales, Exceed ing Same Period of Any
 Previous Year.

Washington, Jan. 23.-A record cot ton crop for the 1914-15 season was in dicated in the census bureaus report today, showing 14,907942 running bales had been ginned prior to Jan uary 16. Ginnings from January to 15 amounted to 460,149 bales, and exceeded those of that period in any previous year. They also took the to- tai ginnings beyond any previous year exceeding the record production year of 1911 by almost 100000 bales. Until the census bureaus final gin ming report is issued on March 20, the exact size of the 1914 crop will not be known, but it is believed it will be larger than the 1911 record produc- tion-15, 5,553,073 running bales. It depends upon the quantity ginned from January 16 to the end of the season, which in 1911 amounted to 1.O37, ,2274 bales, and for the past five years has averaged 485,596 bales.
 Should as much be ginned as in 1911
 this years crop will be close to 16,000-
 coo bales.

WHITES STATE
 WIDE BILL BEFORE SENATE
Anti-PrOhibitionists Will Endeayor to Plaster Amendment Providing for Submission to People in Line
 with Recommendation

Little Rock, Jan.-25.-Some time during Monday session of the Arkan- sas Senate the White Statewide pro- hibition bill will come up for consider ation. Both sides now appear anxious that the measure come up, though the prohibitionists have been the only ones heretofore who were anxious to to force a vote. It is rumored that those opposing the White bill will en- deavor to plaster an amendment upon it providing for submission to the peo- pie, in line with a recommendation in the message of Gov. Hays to the leg islature.
 Senator White, who has been ac- i've in the leadership in the fighting for his bill, declares there are IS mem bers of the Senate who will accept nothing but statewide prohibition by statute, and insists that the bill now pending has the endorsement of Gov. Hays. He states that the amendment will be rejected if offered, and the bill passed. In reports of the vote upon the bringing the bill up for considera- tion out of its turn last Thursday af- ternoon, the name of Senator White was omitted through oversight. Sen ator White was present at this time, and voted to suspend the rules so that the bill might be considered, and he states he will be present every hour until the bill has been finally passed upon.
 The prohibition bill is having its eff feet upon the attendance in the ses- sions of the Senate, for all members are on hand, fearing to leave while the Senate is in session because during their absence the bill might be called up.
