VIOLENT BREAK IN
COTTON FUTURES
Widest SCENE IN YEARS EN-
ACTED IN NEW ORLEANS DUR
ING THE LAST MINUTES OF
TRADING WEDNESDAY.

New Orleans, Oct ga sudden
violent break in the price of cotton
futures here this afternoon, accompa-
MED by the widest scenes witnessed
on the local market for many years,
sent prices down 72 to "A points, or
about $3.50 bale ON the most active
months, within a period OF few min
utes. Shortly after the opening fol-
lowing the governments ginning re-
port, prices bulged almost So a bale
over yesterdays final figures, on the
strongest months, reaching the high
est levels ever posted on this ex-
change. Heavy realizing checked the
early advance and pared down the
rise until at 1870 D. m. prices were
Is to Is points over yesterdays
close. A few minutes later a tremen-
dous wave Of selling appeared uneX-
pectedly, the bottom seemed to drop
out Of the market, and traders rushed
wildly about the ring. With prices
swiftly crumbling, strong bull support
was thrown upon the market, check
ing the downward rush and causing a
reaction, the market closing at a net
loss of AZ to A. points.
Causes of the sensational break
were ascribed by traders to bearish
circular by we'll known cotton wri-
ter. forcasting the total crop at A.
100000 bales, and to alleged opera
tons of the powerful long interests.

COATED tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
Others who are bothered with headaches,

A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug store

as soap and hot water cleanses, purifes
and freshens the skin on the outside, So
hot water and limestone phosphate act

'eonsider that internal sanitation is vast
ly more important than outside cleanli-

Indicators Point to Victory of Bandit Chiefta;n ii q Surprise Attack at
 Pa'imBs, Near Chihuahua City.

Juarez, Mex, Oct 21-Stragglin return of Carranzista soldiers into Chihuahua City tonight indicated strongly that the Viilista forces wore victorious early today in the battle at PalCmas, twenty miles west the the Chihuahua capital. despite the claims made earlier in the day by General Carlos OZuna that his men hested Francisco Villas forces.
 Dispatches reaching Juarez tonight indicated that Gen. Joe Ynez Salazar, the legalista leader, turned tae tide of battle. General Ozuna, with three tho usand Carranza troops and twelve m2- chine guns, started in pursuit of the N;ilistas on Wednesday afternoon, us- ing Santa Ysabel as a base.
 On Thursday the Constitution iists raided San Andres. near Chihuahua City, which Villa previously had burn ed because the men of the village fled at his approach. rather than join the bandit leaCer. San Andres was sup posed to be Villas home town, his birth place.
 On Friday morning Villa, with only eight hundred men, made a surprise attack on Ozuna's men in the early dawn, with considerable success. Simultaneously Salazar, with a thou sand men, executed rear attack ol the Varranzistas.

ARK. WHEATPRO-
 DUCTl)N GOOD
Bushels Per Acre Pass Average f0. Tnited States; Riilicn Bushels
 Short on Years Crop.

Raising wheat in Arkansas no lon ger is an experiment. It has been shown that it can be profitably grown in the state according to w. N Adams of Philadelphia, general manager of the Philadelphia Milling Company.
 Wheat can be produced profitably in most sections of Arkansas where the requirements for the growth are strictly observed" MT. Adams says Good lands this year produced from Is to 25 bushels an acre, and in many cases from 30 to 35 Tbe average for Arkansas was about 12 bushels per acre, or better than the average for the United States.
 Arkansas produced more wheat to the acre this year than Missouri or H. line S. the banner wheat stat S, al- theagh this was one of the worst wheat years we have ever known The average price of land in Missouri ard Illinois is five or six times greater thar wheat land in Akansas, and yet the Arkansas farmer secured 20 per cent more wheat and sold it at bet ter price than farmers of Illinois and Missouri
 "The world war means a tremer- dots demand fer American wheat. Wheat can be produced in Arkansas fron7 75 to e6 cent per bushels. and the prospects are that it will bring from $1 50 to $2 for the Arkansas farmer next spring and summer. The Arkansas farmer can harvest his wheat fully a month before the North ern wheat natures
 The production of wheat is more than billion bushels short of last year. Argentine ordinarily exports about as much wheat as the United States. For several weeks Argentine has been suffering from a severe drouth. Argentine is located about the same distance south of he equa- tor as we are north of it. Hence their seasons are about months different from ours When it is winter with us it is summer with them They harvest in December, January and February. and as a rule supply importers with wheat when our supply is depleted.
