A little later Reginald was presented
to the company by George Caldwell
who made a brief speech, telling OF
his recent arrival from England. and
the pleasure which the Tourist clut
had in being honored with the presence
of a real Englishman to conduct them
through London. Another prolonged
round of applause greeted Reginald
when he arose to give his talk about
England's mightiest city.
He had prepared a rough sketch OF
the city. which he hung on the wall
and explained first of all.
After a brief historical introduction
he began his description of modern
London. picturing its streets, parks and
buildings. Joy noticed at once that he
was no novice at public speaking and
held the close attention Of them all.
He described the Tower Of London,
st. Pauls cathedral, Westminster alb
hey, the houses Of parliament and the
other chief places Of interest to actual
tourists when travelling abroad. His
description of Marlborough palace was
especially vivid and his audience real
ICED at once he was portraying what
he himself had actually seen as he
told Of the magniflcence of It's furnish
Ings and even pictured In detail royal
reception in the palace.
As Reginald was walking home with
Miss Derwent he asked her in regard
to Roland Gregory.
"Oh. Roland is getting to be a regu,
lar bore" said the girl. He used to be
fine young man, but he is now man
ager of that factory where the women
have been having a strike, and the
airs he puts on are ridiculous"
HE seems to be quite friend Of
Miss Graham's." said Reginald, trying
to speak In matter of fact tones.
'They have been friends all their
lives" answered Vivian Derwent, In
nocently. "They are engaged to be
married"
Engaged to be married." exclaimed
Reginald, in such horror struck tones
of establishment that his companion
started.
Yes" she replied, turning to look at
her escort. They were engaged just
before Joy started for Paris What's
the matter, Mr.. Nelson?"
With an effort Reginald controlled
himself. steadied his walk and an
swered, Il felt dizzy for moment"
Reginald Nelson thought that the
walk to the dormitory Of the Normal
school was never going to end Fortu-
nately Vivian Derwent kept up chat
ter Of conversation, doing almost all Of
the talking until she left him.
He walked home slowly and medi-
tatiyely.

PRICE OF CRUDE OIL IS ADVANCED AS RESULT
 GASOLINE GOES UP.

With gasoline showing a tendency to continue on an upward range in the local field the follering gives one ot the reason for the recent stiff advances which are daily being an nounced. It is given on good author ity that the Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana refneries have more orders than they can fill, hence the demand has furnished a cause for the advanc- ed price of the refined product:
 Another advance in the price of all grades of crude oil in all Louis jana fields was announced by the Standard Oil Company Wednesday morning. This makes the price quoted as follows:
 32 to 34.9 degrees, 6Oc.
 35 to 37.9 degrees, 65c.
 38 and above, 75c.
 Heavy crude, soc.
 DeSota Crude, 65c.
 Crichton crude, 55c.
 Heavy demand for gasoline is said to be mainly responsible for the steady advance in the price of oil and refineries are being pushed to their limit to fill orders. Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas refneries have already received orders to fill which will require their entire output for the next sixty days, and the supply Of crude oil in storage is being rapid ly diminished

BANK PRESIDENT
 RECEIVES PARDON
Criminal Proceedings Resulting from Failure of Bank Rogers Year Ago Concluded Friday Afternoon with Pardon.

Little Rock, Sept. 25.-The criminal proceedings resulting from the failure "a year ago of the Bank of Rogers came to a conclusion Friday afternoon with the pardon by Gov. Hays of W. E' Ialley, president of the institution. Mr. Talley had been convicted of con- sentlng to the reception of deposits when the bank was known to be insol- vent and in failing condition. and sentenced to two years in the peniten- tlary. An appeal was taken and the case Is now pending in Supreme Court.
 The pardon was recommended by Circuit Judge J. S. Naples, Prosecut- Ing Attorney J. s. Combs, c. A. Rog- CTS, chairman of the Depositors' Con- mlttee, and the attorneys for the de- posltors. The affairs of the bank have been arranged so that the de- posltors will be paid in full. About eighteen indictments against directors J. E. Felker, w. R. Felker, J. F. Little Leo Graham, Wythe Walker, George M. Jennings, and Everett Stroud, have been nolle pressed in the Benton circuit court.
 State Bank Examiner Guy Phillips recommending the pardon, says that Ialley eXerted himself to save the bank, and he adds: "W. E. Talley can assist in the liquidation of the bank If he Is free, but if he is placed in the penitentiary his usefulness in that di- recton will be ended"
 The court officials say: Your hon or Is aware of the adverse conditions that have prevailed since the failure of this bank, but we are pleased to say these parties have been undaunted in their efforts to put the affairs of the bank in proper condition, notwith- standing the adverse conditions under which they have labored, and they each and all, in our opinion, deserve for their efforts and success in that behalf fair and just consideration.
 Under all these facts and condi- tions We feel that it would be ex- tremely unfair and unjust to Mr. Tal- ley to pursue him further in the cri- minal courts, and the people here feel the same way about the matter and are not demanding the pound of flesh
 "Mr. Talley, notwithstanding this prosecution and conviction, has been mceasing in his efforts to put the af- fairs of the bank in condition for the people to get their money, and has, by his efforts and success, and the as- sistance of his friends, done much in this behalf and made it possible for the matter to be worked out"

WITH SALES HEAVY
 COTTON CLIMBS ON
January Goes to 12.O1, Highest of SeasOn-ClOSe at ? to 13 Points Gain.-Buying Was General on the Advance.

New York, Sept. 24.-A renewal of the active buying movement. which has been in progress for the past two or three weeks, sent prices into new high ground for the season during to- days trading, with predictions of 12c for January cotton, fully realized, when that delivery sold at 12.02c this afternoon. The close was several points off from the best, under heavy realizing, with the tone barely steady though last prices showed net gains of from ? to 13 points, with the near months relatively firm.
 The market was somewhat irregu- lar early. The opening was 6 points lower on October, which was inlunced by relatively easy cables, but general ly unchanged to 1 points higher and active months sold to 12 points above last nights close right after the call. There was heavy Liverpool straddle selling on this advance, as we'll as considerable realizing, which result ed in reactions of , to 6 points, but after the close of Liverpool offerings tapered off and the market soon de- veloped renewd strngth.
 Buying was somewhat general on the advance with uncovered orders and carried the active months about p to 27 points net higher, with Octo- Der selling at 1.45c, and December at 11.S7c during the early afternoon. At this level increased realizing was encountered and prices fell several points in the late trading. Reports that domestic spinners were becoming uneasy over the question of supplies were, doubtless, factors on the advance while the character of the crop news led to still more bullish predictions as to the probable showing of the Oc- tober bureau.
