By the laying of a 3,500-foot loop of eight-inch main over the Woodlawn avenue hill, between Elm and Spruce streets, the Ar kansas Water Company has eliminated the friction loss at this elevated point and greatly increased the available water supply for all of Pulaski Heights.
 This improvement was volun- tarily made by the company in anticipation of the growing needs of this rapidly developing section. With the increased flow and improved pressure it is believed that the supply will be sufficient to meet the needs of Pulaski Heights for several years to come.
 Water was turned into the new loop at Elm street and Pros pect avenue on Tuesday morn ing, service being interrupted for few hours while the con- nection was being made. One day next week a connection will be made between the west end of the loop and the main line at Spruce street and Prospect ave- nue.
 Pipe is on the ground for water main along Spruce street north of Prospect avenue to the top of the ridge in Hillcrest, where new water hydrants, re- gently authorized by the City Council, will be installed.

BIRD OF FREEDOM ON A
 LARK.

k. Pluribus Unum, an animat- ed emblem of American liberty imprisoned at the Forest Park zoo, grew tired of his confine- ment one day this week, and, spreading. his pinions, took flight for more congenial roosts. All day Manager Wal den gazed upward at the skies in a vain effort to catch a glimpse of the truant bird. His watching availed little, but his waiting bore it's reward. About dusk on Tuesday a little negro came up to the front gate of the Walden residence, dragging the recaptured eagle, head down. ward, as he might have dragged a big turkey. "Old Plury" had been caught trying to break into the society of some well-to- do chickens in the yard of a prominent colored resident of West Rock.
 Manager Walden declares that the eagle was brought to him with record of having borne away with his talons sev- eral sheep, calves and children, each of a size much larger than the little black urchin who re- spected not the claims of the conqueror of the air.
 It was late, and it was not convenient to return the culprit to his cage. There was chick en coop near by, in which was kept the family supply of edible fowls-at this time four fine, fat broilers. The eagle was thrust into the makeshift aerie and for gotten.
 Wednesday morning MT. Wal dent went out and found a very fat and spry eagle, but all that was left of his four chickens was the feathers and yellow legs.

OTHER BANKS MAY FOLLOW
Farmers May Be Able to Get Money on Corn, Oats, Wheat and Other Products and Free Arkansas of the Crop-Mort- gazing Evil.

When the time comes that money will be obtainable from any bank in Arkansas on good security at 6 per cent interest, a rate now considered ample in the money markets North and East, let it be remembered that it was a Little Rock man, Moor head Wright, who broke the ice that made swimming good for 400 other bankers in Arkansas who profess to want to help farmers get fair wages out of the crops they grow.
 An announcement was made Tuesday in a circular letter sent cut by the Union Trust Com pany, over MT. Wright's sigma ture, that loans would be made to customers of this bank on cotton collateral at the new in terest rate of six per cent per annum.
 It is not so important that one bank should extend a spe- cial courtesy of this kind to it's patrons, because the number of customers necessarily is limited and the conditions with refer ence to grading, storing and in- surfing the cotton will further restrict the number of borrow CTS who will avail themselves of this offer, but the innovation is important in that it establishes precedent which other banks will be wise to follow, and it in- dicates that the big men of finance have at last come to the realization that the farmer must have cheaper money to profita bly, market his cotton.
 This was the great need last year, but bankers and mer- chants devoted their energies to talking other things than inter est rates and marketing plans, and the farmers of Arkansas lost S25,000,0O0 in profits on their cotton crop alone.
 If every cotton-growing bank customer in the state is extend ed the same favor that MT. Wright holds out to the cotton growers who carry accounts with the Union Trust Com pany of Little Rock it is pre- dicted that the price of the new crop of cotton can be held up to 10 or II cents a pound, and when the season is over it may be that the accommodating bankers will have gotten into the pleasant habit of lending money at six per cent.
 More encouraging than this limited reduction of the interest

rate on cotton loans is the inti- nation in MT. Wright's letter that he will consider applica- tions for loans on corn, oats and wheat. Why are these staples, inspected, housed and insured, not as good collateral as cotton?
 When the banks lend money on other farm products the farmer will grow other crops than cotton. It is within the power of the money lenders to free Arkansas from the crop mortgaging evil and put agricul- ture in this state on a dignified, sound and prosperous basis.
 Moorhead Wright has made a start-a tentative start-but a start. Let his farmer friends encourage him and let the farm CT friends of other institutions demand as much from their bankers, and soon there will be plenty of six per cent money in Arkansas. You are on the right track, MT. Wright.
 The circular letter from the Union Trust Company to it's GUS toners reads as follows:
 "The Union Trust Company is glad to announce to it's cotton producing customers that the company will assist in the grad ual marketing of cotton this sea- son by making reasonable loans on cotton collateral, with inter- est at the rate of six per centum per annum. The rate of inter est is of course subject to change, but commitments will be made for the present up to six months. Cotton for security should be stored in a responsible warehouse, with grades estab- lished, and properly insured.
 "The interest rate on cotton loans is made a separate consid- eration from the rates on other loans this season, in order to give assurance that the market ing of our principal wealth producing commodity will be properly safeguarded to as great an extent as possible, regardless of the changes in other credits.
 "We hope it will be clearly un- derstood that the intention of this company is to assist in the gradual marketing of cotton as the demand will absorb offer ings. We are not encouraging the holding of cotton in a spec ulative, long-term way. That must be left to the individual judgment of each cotton owner. The proper banking function is to assist customers to market crops to the best advantage dur ing the cotton season.
 We would be glad to discuss the situation further, and will especially welcome suggestions from our friends.
 Every sincerely yours,
 "Moorhead Wright, "Vice President and Treasurer.
 'P. S.-We will be glad to en- certain applications for loans on corn, oats and wheat, to be prop erly stored in elevator, etc."

han thus Will have five pitchers on
whom he can rely with some degree
of certainty. And his team will make
some runs. There is batting strength
enough present to~fight any pitcher
in the league.
The majority of the leading east
ern fingers are right-handers, which
should be to the benefit of such clout-
ers as Schultz, Safer, Good and Will
iams.
The White Sox won yesterday by
wide margin, but, had they lost by a
run or two, Buck Weaver would have
been no national hero. Weaver allows
himself to be trapped between the
bases too often. Twice yesterday the
Cleveland people caught him off base
in one inning, but each time wild
chucks allowed the speedy shortstop
to advance a base and eventually
score a run.
That is a break of luck which
WeaVer's work didn't merit. Ger
tainly that isn't what Manager Row
land means by taking chances on the
bases. In the game Wednesday

of the others can learn from Eddie
Collins.
Felsch went to right field instead of
Quinlan because a lefthander started

in the future he will take Quinlan's

with the best the Sox have had for
the past few years; but he is no shin
ing light as top batter.
Manager Tinker finds himself in a
peculiar position with his Whales. He
expected to depend on his pitchers for
air-tight work while the batters were
in a slump He did not believe the
batsmen would be doing anything
marvellous on this eastern trip.
But the batters are tearing the
cover off the ball, while the pitchers
are failing to hold the opposition
within striking distance. It is very
much like the situation that existed
on the West Side with the Cubs
couple of weeks ago.
In the second game against Balti-
more the Whales slammed dozen
hits for 10 bases, but the Terrapins
came back with 10 hits for 81 bases,
and overcame a lead that twice
climbed to four-run proportions.
Brown couldn't hold the enemy,
Prendergast was worse, and Rankin
Johnson was hit for the winning run,
a homer.
In the two games eight home runs
have been knocked, three by Whale
batters and five by Terrapins. Three
of the alien hits yesterday were four
baggers, accounting for five runs.
Mann pounded Chifed homer with
two on.
Joe Tinker is not fast around third
base, and he does not travel from
base to base at express speed, but he
retains his batting eye. He cracked
double and triple yesterday, adding
to his pair of singles of the opening
day. Mann had two singles in addi-
ton to his homer.
Tyler pitched his first game for the
Braves, and was bested by Tesreau.
Jeff passed seven, but famed the
same number and allowed four hits.
Mayer was too much for Brooklyn.
