Little Rock merchants did not sign the petition for the repeal of the state wide prohibition act. Six months of prohibition has demonstrated that it is the great est economic force that could be introduced among the people. The big merchants of the city who formerly contended that it would kill the town to take away the saloons, are now the most ardent supporters of the prohibititory laws. Trade is bet ter, collections are better, and old accounts have been paid up. The Ohio law, with it's supposed rigid restrictions, does not ap- peal to them as a substitute for a law that has demonstrated its efficiency. We do not want the saloon again." is the testi- mony of the Little Rock business men.

Hot SPRINGS

Hot Springs
According to letters received at
the Hot Springs Business Mems
League. Major Charles4nhke, In
charge of the government engineers
for this district, will be in Hot
Springs in the near future, accom-
panied by an engineering corps, to
make a survey of the Ouachita river
TO ascertain the water power that
may be developed, in the event the
government should build one of the
nitrate plants on the Ouachita river
site, which is being urged by the war
department by DR. Charles II. Brougn
and others interested in getting this
industry into this state
Major Fishes letter indicated the
war department is viewing seriously
the Ouachita river claim There IS
already a survey made by the govern
ment on file in the war department
which, however. was made for river
navigation purposes. The war depart
ment also will receive the surveys
and reports made by the Garland
Power and Development Company, in
which c. c. Kayanaugh of Little Rock
is largely Interested. The report of
the engineers shows that more water
power could be developed on the
0uachita than that at Mussel Shoals,
Ala, the strongest competitor for
this industry, and with such a report
which has been passed upon by many
of the largest engineering firms of
the country, it is believed the govern
ment will be convinced of the superior
claims OF this location.
1t is said that over 105 000 horse
power can be developed here. which
is more than adequate for an under
taking of this nature. since it has
been shown that the nitrate plant To-
Gated at Niagara Falls requires but
$4,000 horsepower
The receipt of Major Fishes let
ter has caused an increase of Opt
mism locally, since it seems to be
generally understood the government
will not put the entire sum of 100000
600 into one plant but build several,
in which event Hot Springs has
most excellent chance of obtaining one
OF the nitrate plants.

Basing his opinion on d careful in,
vestigation in his own cotton fields In
Drew, Ghieet Desha and Ashley eoun-
ties, W. H Lephiew of Dermott be-
lieves that the boil weevil has done
much more damage to cotton in Ar
kansas than estimated and predicts
that the states crop will not only fall
below 100000 bales. the government
estimate, but will be shorter than last
seasons crop
Il believe it is the duty of every
farmer to examine his cotton" Mr..
Lephiew says, "and learn just how
badly the weevil has damaged it. Then
they should make known the exact
condition of the crop I am sure it
would show the weevil has caused a
greater loss than believed, and pubu-
cation of this would result in higher
price l sincerely believe that unless
we get big price for the crop TO or
set the damage by the pest, we viii,
face financial calamity"
Two conditions prevail in fields at
tackled by weeyils. Mr. Lephiew says.
One field of cotton may show large
number of grown hollis, but which
have not blossomed out for several
weeks because of the weevil The
farmer realizes the young cotton is
ruined and pins his faith 10 the ma
tured bells. but there is where he Is
in error, Mr.. Lephiew says.
"A careful examination will show
the familiar puncture ON the side OF
the mature boil" Mr. Lephiew says,
land if the boil is cut omen the int
rior Will be found decaved
Another field also may have an av-
erage number of grown bolls. but tns
weevils entered the field late and the
stalks are still blooming. The owner
of the field will get only cotton from
the matared bolls. because the pests
will feed on the blooms
