ing of the finance committee of the
Arkansas grand lodge, A. O. U. W.,

$4,000 is on churches, $4,000 on

uals.
The finance committee, consisting
of H. S. Turner of Little Rock, J. M.
Weaver of Van Buren,, and S. w.
Adams of Helena, made the follow
ing statement in reporting their find
ings to Grand Recorder Cross and
Grand Master Workman Frazer
I'VE desire to express our approval
as to the amount of all expenditures
which have been made. We have be-
fore us a summary of the business
done during the year 1915, and the
gain in membership in the order is
gratifying to us, and the high stand
ing that the order now occupies
among the citizens of this state is
much to be proud Of The credit for
this showing we believe is largely
due to the efforts of both of YOU"
There were 45 death claims paid
in the year 1915.

mountain country, produced in five
reels from the scenario by Harvey

dozen exciting scenes, any one OF

the most exciting situation in the
play is the flood scene, in which thou
sands of gallons of water are let
loose in one great torrent.

SAYS HYPN0TISM is EASY
Prof. Munsterberg Declares He Can
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete Subsection.

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to a Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy it is to hypnotic
anybody. almost as easy as rolling
off a log" The professor predicted a
great field in the future for the expert
In mind control. He said:
"Hypnotism presents Il vast field for
the expert. 1t is so easy to produce
the hypnotic trance that anyone can
do it on others, but it is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig-
norantly used. 1t is simply Il case of
Increasing the suggestibility of the
mind and it can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco-
holic fiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only slight hypnosis
Is necessary to effect a cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
"NIedicine, equally with law, is to
he the food for the psychologist of the

measured exactly by almost perfect
standards, The old methods are OBJ

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
Much of the Advancement of the
World May Be Traced to Those
PugnaciousIy Inclined.

Most Of us love trouble-that is,
most of the human race. Man cannot
remain contentedly out of trouble for
any length of time, it seems. And II
you doubt the statement, all you have
to do Is to remember the numerous in
stances when you We're getting along
all right, and then deliberately "butted
into" something that was not your aft
fair.
Take the matter of politics, if you
please Half Of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, lot of the people mixed up
in politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
| body else. For ii really makes little
| difference to the average man who is
! elected indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because h'
! thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants {
fight.
OF course all of us like to tlatter our
selves that we are doing something TO
the nation or the country or groul
of people But the truth is most o
us are doing nothing of the kind.
But. did you know that most of til
good that has so far resulted TO I'll
world has come from the troublemak
ers, and not from the peacemakers? 2

COTTON CROP is
NOT SAT|SFA CT0RY
Some Slight Improvement Is
Shown Within Past Few
Weeks in Belt

| Washington, August 23.-Cotton con-
tinues in very unsatisfactory condition
in practically all of the gulf states, but
showed some improvement during the
week. which ended yesterday, according
to the national weather and crop bulle-
tin issued today by the weather bureau
Reviewing conditions for the week the
bulletin says:
| There was some improvement in cot
| ton in central and northeastern districts
and the abundant sunshine and small
| amount of rainy weather produced favor
| able effects in most eastern sections The
crop is still in a very unsatisfactory con-
ditlon, however, in practically all of the
gulf states, due te the earlier excessive
rains.
The crop deteriorated steadily in Ok
lahoma and the growth was almost en-
tirely suspended. Hot and dry weather
| injured the crop in northern Arkansas
also, but in other portions of that state
cotton is considered good to excellent.
Frequent showers in south Texas and
continued hot and dry weather in north
ern and central Texas produced unfavor-
able conditions for cotton. The bolls are
opening prematurely in Oklahoma and
shedding is reported in nearly all western
and southern states.
Damage by weevil continues primarily
in the central and eastern gulf states.
Much opened cotton was blown away in
extreme south Texas by the wind &C
companying the Gulf storm of August Is
and hi oil ho biOh wind did
not extend the central northern part of
the state. The work of picking and gin
ming is progressing in the central and
southern portions of the gulf delta states
and the bolls are opening into the more
northern part Of the area. Picking was
delayed in Arkansas because of the ex-
cessive heat
Corn is maturing rapidly in southern
states.
Rice is in excellent condition and was
favorably affected by the weather of the
week. Harvesting is in progress under
favorable conditions in the lower Missis-
sppi valley.
Sweet potatoes were benefited by the
weather in the southern states and the
crop is promising. They are being har-
vested in Texas and are nearly ready for
harvest in Georgia.
Gardens and truck farms in southern
states suffered from dry weather and
rain is needed for fall gardens in Florida.
Sugar cane continued in good condition
generally, and made favorable progress
in all the southern states.
Peanuts made good growth and are
doing we'll. This crop is being dug in
Arkansas, with good yield.
Rain is needed for tobacco in western
Tennessee, otherwise the weather was IA
vorable for the crop, and the condition
and outlook are good. Housing and cur
ing are going on in all southern areas.
In Virginia the crop is curing up well
with good bright color

Three weeks ago 1 was sick in bed

Tanlac. Honestly, in three days after I
began taking it I was out of bed and

to my work and now you see I'm able
to come for my Tanlac. The pains have
left my shoulders entirely and 1 can use
my arms as freely as I ever could. 1
