WILL Brinkley merchants spend the summer in a quite snooze while the big mall order concerns and the city mercan- tile houses keep up the hardest and most telling trade seize Tn their existance fighting for the cash trade of this section ot Eastern Arkansas? The pros poets are that the greatest revenue producing crops ever known in this state will be made this fall and naturally enough If the Brinkley merchants snooze away their golden opportunity, it's no wonder they will lose the trade.

THERE'S no use of belitttlng Wm. Jennings Bryan because he has hardened to a call of his con science acting herewith. Ii the people of America owed Bryan no greater debt of gratitude than for having caused and solely forced the nomination of Wood- row Wilson, this would be enough to keep them under obligations to this great man for the next generation. No one else but Bryan forced the nomination of Woodrow Wilson and there is no one who is at all conversant with the history ot Wilson's nomination but who KNOWS this. Therefore not only all America but ALL of the ciVi lized world should rejoice and give thanks to Bryan for his wonderful ability and service at this particular time. Bryan has already proven himself the most wonderful character in Amerl- can politics.

WHEAT CROP TO BE
BELOW TEN-YEAR AVERAGE

The decrease in acreage has been
greatest in the large wheat gro wing
states. and particularly market In
central. West, or, according to the
committee. Kansas, Missouri. illinois.
Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and iowa.
1t Is due to unfavorable weather last
fall during the planting time and to
the unusual amount OF winter kill
ing, which was mentioned above.
This caused an abandoned acreage
much larger than the average. As a
result, much land viii! be plowed up
and replanted to oats and corn. There
is not much change in the acreage
in Nebraska and the southwestern
states, except in Oklahoma and Tox-
as. where the acreage IS also less
than last year. In the western, IA
tiflc coast, eastern and southern
states the acreage is much the same
as last year.
