Prosperity in the South.

1t is but few months since the
lumber industry was in a deplorable
condition Representatives Of the lar
gest lumber interests appeared before
the Federal Trade Commission and
explained why they had fat seasons
and lean and why the industry was
lisorganized. They were afraid to
cooperate among themselves, even to
the extent of forming an association
or the exchange Of ideas, because OF
the antitrust laws.
Prosperity however, has returned
even to the lumbermen. The fact that
they are now doing a record-b break
ing business does not alter the uncer-
tain conditions under which the lum-
Der mills must work owing to the anti
trust laws, but for the time being
prosperity has extended even to this
business.
The industrial development of the
South is largely responsible for the
increased prosperity Of the lumber in
dustry. AS an example of what is
happening III the South, the incor-
porations for the establishment of
new enterprises and industries in
Southern states during the last ten
days have aggregated a capital stock
of approximately $100O0,000.
This amount represents the capital
of something like score of new CON
Germs scattered throughout the South
eastern territory, and most of it is in
vested by Southern people, which is
a strong indication of the permanent
return of better business conditions
in the South.
All of these new enterprises will
mean employment for more people
and the inauguration of new pay rolls
in the South Many of the new en-
terprises will erect buildings, cir
cumstance that is having it's bcncfi-
cial effect upon the lumber market.
Lumber dealers have anticipated an
increased demand, as indicated by the
growing aggregate OF building per
mits in the leading cities, and are
producing somewhat ahead OF the de-
mand at the present time.

by they are not forced to sell out their
entire crop within short period Of
time. When this is done they will
be lin position not to be imposed
upon by those who get the toll from
year to year from the farmers of the
south without any rise Of prosperity
to the farmer.
In the hasty and present necessary
marketing of cotton a large amount
is wasted by deterioration, exposure
and fire. In other words the farmer
should have ample time to market his
cotton. 1t takes most all the year
to make it, and it is sold in hurry
in a few weeks. Prices can never
become fixed as long as this lasts. AS
long as this evil exists the specula-
tors will camp upon the trail OF the
cotton farmer and prey upon his Ia
bors. The farmers must apply the
remedies, and to this end they should
not rest until system for the proper
storing of their cotton has been OBJ
tanned and this cotton made a Sc
curity for borrowing money based up
on the proper and just valuation OF
the cotton. When this is accomplished
there will be a new day for the cot
ton farmer of the south, for they will
then be Independent.

Mrs. M. H. Wilson, aged 97 years, mother of Mrs. Marie Jus ticc, died Saturday night at/nine o'clock at the home of Mrs. Justice lon Highland street. Mrs. Wilson
 was a remarkably well preserved woman and up to less than two years ago her health had been eX- callent for one of her age. How
 ever, during the past eighteen months the infirmities of age began
 to tell on her and recently she had become mentally and physically helpless. She was a native of Mis-
 issippi, but had resided in Arkansas
 thir5y years with her daughter, first at Brinkley and during the past twenty years in this city. Short funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Justice Sunday aft ernoon by Rev. A. c. Griffin. This morning the body was shipped to Senatobia, Miss, for interment Mrs. Justice accompanied the re- mains.

Commission Urges
 Game Law Changes

Conservation of the game in the state is urged in the first annual report of the state game and fish commission, published Ill an illus trated booklet, distribution of which mas been begun, says the Ar kansas Gazette The report was ap- proved June 15, but was not before made t Dlic. 1t suggests to the next legislature that a closed sea son on prairie chicken, to last five years, be declared, recommends closed season for squirrels from about March 1 until September l, and the fixing of the bag limit on squirrels. and makes the following other suggestions.
 "The bag limit on ducks should be changed from 25 to l5, and q bag limit fixed on geese.
 CA law prohibiting the killing of all deer except those with antlers.
 "A law making shorter the closed season on fishing and regulating net ting and seining SO that each net or sein will carry it's. own license. There should also be a bag limit on bass.
 "There should be a change of the law so that the commission can grant a permit to the game and fish departments of other states to make scientific investigations for experimental purposes, and to per init the shipping of limited amount of game and fish under the super vision of the game and fish com mission fro stocking purposes.
 "A law permitting the sale of fish, game and game birds raised on private premises in captivity.
 "A change in the law so that the commission may establish fish hatcheries and hatcheries for game birds for distribution throughout the state.
 There should be a general gun li- cense.
 "It should be felony for any one to use dynamite to kill fish, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for a period of not more than 12 months nor less than l. one month.
 'Tt should be unlawful to kill, catch or capture any furbearing an- imal at any time except from De- cember 1 to February 15.
 The report shows the expenditures of the commission during the year amounted to $17,220.26,- and that the receipts aggregated $25,462.2@. Salaries of wardens and clerks, to- taling about $14,OOO, was the big gest expense item. Market fishing licenses, which brought in $9,7O2. headed the list of receipts. Artifi- cial bait licenses, totaling $7,552, were next. The other receipts were; Hunting licenses, $4,251; dog li- censes, $2,179; trappers' licenses, $40; fines, $395.29.
 The report contains an argument for licensing nonresident hunters to kill game in Arkansas.
