JAPANESE ARE PAYING
GOLD FOR COTTON HERE

Toxic, Oct 6.-Japanese gold in
the form of coin is being shipped to
the United States in considerable
quantities to pay for the cotton
bought in that country. The export
of gold from Jan. to Aug. 20 was
81, 100000 yen (about $17,365,0O0)
while in the corresponding period Of
last year it was 22,5lO,OOO yen. The
balance in favor of export this year
was 3O,S17,00O yen.
The cause of the drainage of gold
in the face of a heavy increase in
exports is attributed generally to the
Generalization of the exchange rate
between England and America. In
ordinary times the balance of Japan

Treasurer Alexander is equally cor

Forty or fifty of the teachers at

a part of their pay from the money
received from the federal government,

DISAGREEMENT AS TO
WHO SHALL HANDLE MONEY

Oklahoma City, oct. 6.-The only
action taken by the state board of
agriculture with reference to the at
titude of State Treasurer Alexander
in holding the Morrill, fund in the
state depository was to ask the at.
torney general for an amplfication
of his ruling OF last February, which
is construed by President Gault Of
the board to give the board full
power over this fund. The board also
asked the attorney general whether
the president of the board may also
act as treasurer thereof. Mr. Gau't
was elected treasurer of the board
before he was elected president by
the people and no successor has been
chosen for the place. He said that he
would like to have one of the other
members take the job but none OF
them want it, as ii would necessitate
staying here to attend to the work.
Mr.. Gault is very confident that

Identification Work Progressing We'll.


 Considerable pfogress has been achieved already this spring by the committees of the East Pine Bluff Civic league which have in charge the work of beautifying vacant plots and park spots in East Pine Bluff, and hundreds Of plants and trees have been set out, in addition to onantities of seed that have been planted.
 Each of the committees is diligent- ly at work, and already the results can be, seen. Along the bayou, much has been done in the way of clean ing out old cans and other debris, not only improving the appearance of the neighborhood, but also adding to the sanitary conditions there. The general cleaning up, the laying off of garden plots, the growth of the newly placed plants, all are cooper ating to greatly enhance the natural beauty of East Pine Bluff.
 The league yesterday issued re- quest to all property owners to trim shade trees, so that limbs and branches shall hot grow at height less than eight feet from the ground. Pedestrians are often annoyed be- cause of branches projecting from some front yard, or from shade trees on the sidewalks, interfering especi- ally when parasols are in use. Trim ming such trees to a clear height of eight feet will remedy this complaint, according to the ladies.
