LAMBS 10 TACKLE
 BULLDOGS FRIDAY GAME AT RUSSELL FIELD
Coach Headrick's Proteges to Clash With Galloway HarrisOn's Ar
 kansas COllegians.

Coach Galloway Harrison of Arkan- sas College, Batesville, will bring his Lambs here tomorrow for an engage ment with Coach Bill Headricks Bull dogs on Russell field. The clash will start at 3;l5 o'clock.
 The Lambs are we'll remembered here as team filled with fight. In a tussle on the Normal field last year with the Pedagogues, the Batesvilians put up one of the hardest fights ever seen in this community. Despite a 30-mile ride in an automobile-al the squad riding in a seven-passenger car the Lambs, who arrived just at game time, held the Normal to very close score. The team is said to be even stronger this year than last They expect to wallop Coach Headrick's charges.
 The Bulldogs are we'll prepared for the attack. They have been working hard all this week, and the work has been of high order. The final prac- tice this afternoon will consist only of light signal drilling.
 Coach Headrick gave out the follow ing lineup: Landers, left end; Vaughan, left tackle; Herring, left guard; Captain Wilson, center; Rob- ertson, right guard; Rich, right tackle; Jones, right end; Sinclair, quarter; Bearden, left half; Davis, right half; Wahl, fullback.

RAMPS INJURE
 MAN Al MARCHE NIRUDERS GIVE FIGHT
Henry kOplon of Argenta Shot in Arm Endeayoring to Drive Out
 Uninvited Guests.

Argenta, Oct. 2G.-Henry Koplon, 1907 Maple street, was shot twice in the left arm with a shotgun during a seutfle with an unidentified white man at the home of his sister, Mrs. John Nosal, at Marche, about 12 miles northwest of Argenta shortly after .9 o'clock yesterday morning. After the shooting the intruder escaped. hoplon was brought to his home in Areenta. where Dr. Shelby Atkinson dressed his injuries, which are not serious.
 George Movley and the unidentified man, both of whom are tramps, en- tered, uninvited, the home of Mrs. Nosal at Marche, while Koplon and his sister were looking over the farm. The two men were preparing breakfast when Mrs. Nosal and Kop- lon walked into the house. Moxley was frying eggs on the stove and his companion was preparing the table They had a double-barrelled shot gun and arihe lying on the table
 koplon, astopnded at this intrusion, demanded that the men leave. Both refused and rushed toward their guns. The unidentified man pressed his gun against koplon's breast. NoXley was held off by Mrs. Nosal, who had q large stick of wood. In the sculiie with his antagonist Kop- lon was shot twice in the left arm, and Was injured in the head by a blow from the gunstock. The man made his escape, leaving his gun lying on the floor. MoXIcy was held by Mrs. Nosal until the arrival of R. w.. Robins. Conway attorney, who was passing in his auto.
 4 neighboring farmer, who heard the two shots, arrived about the time that Robins drove up and took charge of MoNley. while Robins put koplon in his auto and brought him to Ar genta. MoTley Was taken to Little Rock and turned over to Sheriff Hut ton. MoEley says he does not know his companion shame.
 Deputy Sheriffs William Borough, George Rison and C. H. Wheat went to Marche immediately, but were un- able 10 get any trace of the man who cid the shooting. Details of the shooting were secured through an in terpreter, who obtained them from Mrs. Nosal, who is Polish and speaks little English. Considerable time was lest in this manner and gave the in truder a better chance to escape.
 MoXley told officers last night that he had served a term in a federal prison lie said he and his compan- ion were walking to Conway when they stopped at the Nosal home and, finding no one there, decided to cook breakfast Their journey began at Hot Springs several days ago, he said.
 Kop'on, who is 35 years old, is an employe of the Iron Mountain shops lie was visiting relatives at Marchc and had decided to return to Argenta today.

 GREAT PROSPERITY ' MONEY VERY PLENTIFUL
Interest Rates Low and Banks Un- able to Find BOrrOwers-Farmers
 are Flush.
By Clio Harper.


 Little Rock, Oct. 26.-There has never been so much money in the state as there is now. This is due to the high price of cotton and other farm produce, and the farmers are experiencing a degree of prosperity that they have not known in many years.
 The condition of the banks in Lit tie Rock is a fair criterion. On Sep tember F, the state banks had total deposits of $9,949, ,552,83, and the na- tioanl banks deposits of $5,570, ,567. .65, making total of $l5,520, ,120.4S for the Little Rock banks. Since that time, the deposits have increased rapidly, until there is now in the city an aggregate of more than twen- ty million dollars, the largest amount of money ever accumulated in the banks of the capital city.
 One day last week, two of the banks, the German National and the Bank of Commerce, had deposits az gregating nearly nine million dollars, the two being neck and neck. These banks are leading, with the German usually in advance of the Bank of Commerce. Never before has a local bank been able to report as much as i've million in deposits at one time.
 Large quantities of money are be- ing used in moving the, cotton crop, hut this does not seem to diminish the accumulation of wealth. All loans that are asked of the banks are be- ing made wherever the security Is sufficient, and loans are being sought by the banks to keep the money in circulation.
 There is more building in progress in Little Rock at this time than there has been in several years, and this is keeping considerable money in cir culation and providing employment for a great deal of labor.
 Loans are being made on desirable business property at rates as low as } l-2 and 6 per cent, and there has also been a slight decrease in many instances in the rates for residence loans. A local banker, however. de clares that the banks cannot well re- duce rates of interest so long as they continue to pay four per cent on say ing deposits, and to pay interest on daily balances in excess of the amount they are able to realize upon thei1 loans.
 The farmers are prosperous. Old debts of long standing are being h- quidated, and mortgages are being lifted Purchases are being made on cash basis more than ever before. One of the evidences or rural pros perity is the increasing number of automobiles that are purchased by the farmers Negroes who have been the slaves of the tenant system, are in many instances paying cash rem tai for their farms at increased rates, and are buying the highest priced au tomobiles to be found on the market. They do not want the cheap cars. One who had just sold his cotton, was offended when a dealer tried to sell him a $500 car, and going to another dealer paid cash for a $2,200 automo- bile. They want only the best

The army reorganization bill as it passed the senate raises the number of troops for the regu lar army from 100000 as at present and from i4oooo as provided in the bin passed by the House. to 25O. 0o0 It also provides for Q maximum armed strength of 75OOo0-25OOO9 in the standing arm; 2sl0OO trained volunteers and the remainder from the Ma tional Guard The bin provides for government in' truction and military training volunteers who are students in schools colleges and universities havins 100 or more male students over the age Of i5 years. The bin requires the governing powers Of the schools that come under the provisions of the measure who might desire military training to make their desire known to the War Department and it requires each student who might want to become attached to the military organization that may be established by the War Department in any such school to enlist for service and pledge himself respond to call ;o the colors whenever issued by the President
 1T the bill should become 8 law It would require an enormous increase Of the number of officers in the regular army but would make service in the regular army in the volunteer army and in the National Guard purely voluntary. It has not hint of couscripton anywhere in it.
 It is provided that enlistment in the regular and volunteer armies shall be five years and that at least two of those shall be devoted service for all or part of the time It is urged in behalf of the -flvvfvvy be given military training and still be ready exper fenced service at the end of years under It's opera ton
 Tbe Senate measure was fashioned under the dt rection of Senator Chamberlain. though amendments to the bin were offered from the floor of the Senate and accepted. having been previously agreed Co by the Oregon statesman. who is chairman of the Senate military affairs committee The most important amendments to become parts of the measure in this way were offered by Senator Hard wick of Georgia. Democrat and Senator Bracdesee Of Connecticut Republican.
 The Chamberlain measure is regarded fsr more extreme measure Of preparedness than the Oil passed by the House generally known as the Hay bIl yet the fact that the principle of voluntary military service was strictly adhered to is regarded by It's friends as sufficient protection against any danger o militarsm-
 The amended bHi which is practically meas ure has gone back to the House where 1t win be considered by the military affairs committee before n will be submitted to a Of the members. If the House refuses to concur in the Senate changes there will be a conference where Chairman Chamberlain, Of the Senate committee. and Chairman Hay. Of the House committee may get together and consider the whole matter.
