ARKANSAS NATIONAL GUARD
 IS FACING CRISIS

Little Rock, Nov. 2.--It cannot be denied that the Arkansas National Guard in Arkansas is confronting a crisis as an organization. Co E. of this city, now at Deming, has 49 en- listed men. Unless Is more are en- listed and added to it by the time they are mustered out, federal recog- hilton will be withdrawn and the com pany will have to be disbanded. The Guard officials believe that if the city can provide an adequate armory, four companies can be maintained here.
 Under the New Defence Act, the state is compelled to increase the Ma tional Guard from 200 for each Sen ator and representative, (1S00 mem to 800 for each (7200 mem four years from now. This means that by June 8, 1921, there must be companies of 65 men each in about 110 cities of the state, which will mean an income in salaries to officers and men of approx imately $1,100000 annually, the state will raise its quota for the National Guard. This is to be presented to the various cities and towns of the state as business proposition.

ANOTHER DROP IN
 THE COTTON MARKET
Most of Previous Days Gain is LOst-ClOse Fl to A Points
 Lower-Western Crop Esti-
 mate 10,476,000 Bales.

New York, Nov. 1.-The cotton market lost a very large part of yes terday's big advance during today's trading, with January contracts sell ing off from 19.25c to 1S.65c, and with the general list closing easy at net loss of 21 to A points.
 There was a further advance of 5 to l6 pionts at the opening, in res ponse to higher cables and overnight buying orders. There was great deal of cotton for sale, however, and the tone was barely steady. At 19.25c for January and 19.44c for May on the call prices showed an advance of just about 90 points from the low level of Monday. There was also some local selling and before the end of the morning prices had sold off to a net loss of some Is to 22 points.
 Rather sharp rallies of 25 to 30 points followed on more encouraging advices as to the immediate submar- | inc situation and rumors of a bullish crop estimate from Western authori- ties. This estimate when published laround midday proved quite as low as expected, placing the yield at only 10,476,000 bales, ecluding linters, but the figures failed to bring in any broadening of demand and the market turned easier again during the after noon, under renewed liquidation. May contracts sold off from 19.44c, the high point of the morning, to 1S.92c and closing prices were at just about the lowest point of the day, repre- senting a decline of some 50 to SC points from the high level of the morning.

idol of the screen, in his latest photo
play, Cameo Kirby" The story tells
how Randall, a friend of Kirby, shoots
and kills gambler to prevent the es-
tate from falling into other hands, and
Tom Randall, the son. swears to avenge
his father. When Moreau and Kirby
night duel, with results fatal to Mo-
reau, Tom takes the gun from Moreau's
body in order that 1t may appear he
was shot while having no weapon with
which to defend himself. Kirby is ac-
cused of murder and becomes fugitive
from justice. In these black hours, he
manages to see Adele, and to tell her
the truth with such sincerity that she
believes him and shelters him from the
mob.
Finally Moreau's pistol is found in
the possession Of Tom, whose forced
confession frees Kirby from the charge
OF murder. When, in addition to this,

Kirby has sent to the Randall family.

1t is expected that the biggest crowd
