16O bales on 40 acres and 80 tons of seed. And this record was made on a farm which went 120 days with out a drop of rain at the time when crops usually demand moisture. John H. Keel, the manager of the planta- tion, followed the intensified farming plan, blowing the crop continually, keeping the surface of the ground always broken.
 Six thousand bushels of the corn has been sold in Shreveport, La. as seed, bringing s per bushel Four thousand bushels in addition have been sold to neighboring planters in Jackson and surrounding counties for seed purposes, and brought the same price. The balance of the corn can be disposed of at from $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel, for feeding purposes, mak- ing the total receipts from the corn crop $55,000 The cotton has brought over S16,O00, and the seed $4,0O0.
 Adjoining this plantation Bloch, Lyons & Keel have $500 acres of sim liar land, partly cleared, and all pro tected by levee from overflow, which will soon be placed on the market, and the owners prefer to dispose of It in small tracts in order to insure ear Iy development of that section.

The Big Man Made A DiscoUery

CT We'll, now, perhaps you may have heard, perhaps you may even be ac- quainted with that Arkansas woman who made such hit with program in New York not long since"
 What was her name?" the small woman inquired.
 q don't know. I heard it, but can't remember"
 What was it the woman read?"
 "I can't remember that either, but it was some kind of negro story"
 "Was it Many, the woman read?"
 Nanny? Nanny? Yes, that was it-an old black nanny And the folks up there went crazy about it. I thought perhaps you might know something about this woman"
 Well" answered the small woman smiling, "I do know a little about her just little."
 You have seen her then. Tell me about her. What is her name and what does she look like?" and the large man waited with interest.
 The smile on the small woman s face broadened as she said: Her name is Mrs. McRaven-Mrs. John McRaven, and what does she look like? Well, now, suppose you tell me what she look like since she is sitting before your eyes"
 It was then that the large man made the discovery that even very small woman can deliver a large pack age of first class goods. Five minutes later he was making bargain with her for her only extra copy of Nam my" which in spite of the fact she had told him she had nothing to sell, she was parting with for the regular price of one dollar.

A plain appearing and mild-man- nered little woman boarded Fort Smith train not long since and find ing the car we'll filled slipped into the end of a seat occupied by large gen. tleman who was leaning back half asleep.
 Out of the corner of his eye the large man looked at the small wom- an Evidently he considered her un- interesting as he closed his eyes and sought sleep.
 The way was none of the smooth est and the large mans attempted slumber was shortly given up. Again he glanced at the woman beside him and finding nothing better to do, be gan conversation.
 "Times are picking up,'' he observ- ed. pointing out the window at new house being constructed near the sta tion at which the train stopped mo- ment.
 'Yes," she replied.
 q notice it in my business. Arkan- sas is reviving wonderfully"
 s'Yes." the lady answered again.
 Then the large man talked on some about his business which seemed to be publicity work for some education al institution or book publishing business.
 When he had told of the improved conditions in his business the small woman observed that she noticed an improvement in her business also.
 Your business?" the man said, and with an expression of uneasiness as he glanced at her grip and in quired, You're not selling anything are you?"
 No" replied the small lady, trying to repress a smile. No, I am not selling anything. l am a reader and on my way to give program"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET
Metal Shares Were the Conspicuous
 Features of the Session.

New York, Aug 12.-MetaI shares were the conspicuous features of to- days short session of the stock eX- change, which was characterized by the usual weekend settlement of pro fessional contracts. Rails continued under the handicap resulting from the dubious state of the labor situation, and manifested marked heaViness be- fore the close.
 The rise in COppers. which ranged from 1 to almost points, was based upon reports that foreign interests, chiefly British, were about to close contracts for enormous quantities Cf the refined metal running into the coming year. American Smelling and the zinc issues shared in the move ment, which was well sustained.
 Changes elsewhere in the active list were without much significance, eX- cept among shipping issues. MerCan- tile Marine preferred made an eX- treme decline of 1-2 points on an nOuncement of the plan of capital re- adjustment. with a one point loss for Atlantic. Gulf and West Indies.
 Munitions. equipments and motors held their ground or registered mod crate gains, with an additional five points for General Motors, which at tained a new high record at 5S5. Mis- cellaneOus speCialties were relatively quiet and irregular. Total sales of stocks amounted to 265000 shares
 General news of the day included a hardening of francs, with no material change in sterling or rates to con tinentaI Centers other than Paris.
 Contrary to expectation the bank statement failed to reflect the weeks large accessions of gold from Canada. Instead of an actual cash gain, q mod crate loss was disclosed in that item, with a loan expansion of slightly more than $23, ,O0O,O and a decrease in eE- cess reserves of more than S9,OO0.OOO
 Bonds were steady with large offer ings of the new French notes. Total sales (par vaIue) aggregated $2,110,- GOO.
 Government bonds were unchanged on call during the week.
