COTTON JUMPS TO 20 CTS.
Brinkley Market Still Draws Attention and Loads of
 the Fleecy Staple.

Never before in the history of Brinkley has the price record for cotton, 20 cts, been reached until now. Of course extra staple has brought as high as 25 cts. a pound even this season but now the basis price is 20 cts.
 The cotton wagons are coming to the Brinkley gins from Dark Corner, from St. Frances and even Lee counties.
 The Government report shows that to Nov. 1st Monroe County gins had ginned 16, 407 bales against 7,643, same time last year.
 Sixteen years ago cotton was selling in Brinkley at .04k cts- and seed at $500 per ton.
 Seed are worth $57 per ton now.

A Mysterious Ad. in To.
 Days Argus

Appearing at top of the local page in this weeks ARGUS is a no name" or mystery" ad which foretells the coming of something of unusual interest to the people living within IS miles of Brinkley. The ad is "myster- ious" and will keep you guessing. It is not of a "clap trap" cut price sale but of something en- tirely new something that will have to do with the forming of personal history of the lives of people but Pm going too far. See the big mystery ad" at top of the local page, but even then you'll never guess what's coming.

Bird Dog. Jack, Knows the
 Autos Number

Say. believe your bird dog, Jack, actually knows the number on your old Ford Car, old number one" said Howard Mitchell to me a few days ago. Continuing he said, While you were away on, your Arkansas on Wheels train, the new owner tore the body away and put truck body on it to carry his machines in, and 1 happened to be on Cypress Street the first day the change was made in the car. Your dog, Jack, was running along on the sidewalk and noticed the car about the same time 1 did and ran at once out in the street and along side of the car trying to get up in it, and finally suc- ceeded. How the animal could tell the car after the change was made in its shape can imagine, unless he read the number on the license tag.
 When this car was first sold it apparently grieved the dog and on several occasions when 1t was driven back into the city by the new owner, J. D. Caldwell. the dog, Jack, was noticed to run and jump in the car immediately upon it's appearance on the streets. Just how the dog could tell the difference in "old number one" and the hundreds of other Ford cars, 1 can't figure out and would like for someone else to tell me.

Reed and her hus- band. who holds a high position in the legal department of the Pension Department, were un- tiring in their efforts and plans for the Arkansas on Wheels Party and it was largely thro' their efforts and kind offices that the two days we spent in Wash ington counted for so much to each and every one of the party. But this article tells only of one day-our first in Washington. and next week I shall write of the second day which was full to oyerflowings in things of in- tereSt.

IMMENSE RICE CROPS ALL M
Season, Won. derful Yield, Wonderful
 Paying Crop of Rice.

Nearly all of the Rice growers in the Brinkley territory have finished their rice harvest and nearly all of the pearly berries are in the mill or warehouses.
 The writer had hoped to visit in person each of the big ranches and get separate reports on them and expects to do this yet. However a few scattering notes now will not be out of place.
 The big Hunter Land & Rice Co.,, of which Walter Dickson is manager have stored over 5000 bags or 240O bushels.
 Among the few who have fin ished and sold is Henry Schaefer of the St. Clair Ranch, who made 12, 900 bushels off of 175 acres and last week sold it out at $1.00 per bushels net.
 H. J. Harshbarger of Tippa- canoe City, Ohio is down to witness the wind up of the har- vest on the Tippecanoe Ranch, a mile south of Brinkley, man. aged by J. M. Dickson.
 They have just put away 5000 bushels and are expecting to hold for better than the dollar.
 MT. Harshbarger with his brother and partner, MT. Staley were visitors on the Arkansas on Wheels Train at Dayton, Ohio and to the ARGUS man yesterday said it was a wonderful train and has done and is a wonderful benefit to the state. We were more than repaid for our visit to it at Dayton. /"

WhOi WV SONiN SbJVJ iiOI . loiiJ and satisfactory the grandeur and beauty of this wonderful spot. There are buried in the beautiful grounds surrounding the Arlington House. l6,O0O soldiers who died in the war be- tween the states. One beautiful and impressive monument and one which always attracts the attention, is that erected ITO the Memory of the Unknown Dead" ]" This stone alone marks the resting place of more than 1000 unknown soldiers, who were picked up on the battle field with no trace of their identi- ty on their lifeless bodies. Anoth- CT peculiar and attractive monu- ment was that to those who lost their lives in the sinking of the Maine" in the Havana Harbor. The original anchor and part of ill-fated war vessel served to form the monument.
 Driving to Arlington our route was out past Ft. Myers on the Virginia side, one of the most important cavalry posts of the United States and also head. quarters for the Aeroplane and Balloon corps of the U. s. Army. The Arlington wireless tower and station are located here and messages are received and sent from and to all foreign nations and ships on all seas.
 Swinging back to Washington our course was over the Patomac River and down The Speedway" or Patomac River drive. where it is said that millions of dollars have been and are being spent to make the Paradise Drive" of all America. The tidewater basin and lakes bordered with beautiful flowers and schrubS. with overlapping trees from many foreign countries, forms an ideal place for their water fetes and fireworks.
 The first night in Washington the Arkansians were rendered reception at the Chamber of Commerce. tn e Arkansas Society" assisting the Chamber Secretary of Commerce Redfeld was the Chief Speaker of the evening in welcoming the Ark ansas travellers and quite well did he do it and clever were his compliments of Arkansas. The splendid impressions that had been made on his mind during visit to the state few months ago, were brought out by this cabinet member in a most in- teresting way. In the course of his remarks Mir. Redfield, noting the presence of Congressman w. A. Oldfield in the party. took oc- casion to comment on his ap- preciation of Mir. Oldfield and of his connection with him and stated that Congressman Oldfield was the only man in America whom he had ever al- lowed the privilege Eof calling him Billy" and that he rather enjoyed Mir. Oldfeld's special privilege :" Mir. Redfeld spoke of his visit to Little Rock; that he had seen in Little Rock the prettiest and most modern home for the Fire Department in all America which in itself denoted the brains and big heart of the men of that city responsible for same. This is indeed a high compliment to my clever, clean and able Mayor friend, Chas. B. Taylor of Little Rock, whom MT. Redfeld referred to in a most complimentary way in his ad- dress.
