URGENT CALL FOR
 GOOD ROAD BOOSTERS
Governor Feels This is Golden Opportunity to Secure Federal Aid For Bankhead Highway Invitation is General.

Little Rock, Aug. 31.-Gov. Brough has issued an urgent call for the good roads boosters of Sebastian, Logan, Yell, Perry, Pulaski, Faulkner, Con- way, Pope, Johnson, Crawford, Sa- line, Garland, Hot Spring, Clark, Hampstead, Miller, Little River, Se- vier, Howarl, Pike and Montgomery counties to hold two days congress in Little Rock Sept. 1920 for the pur- pose of arousing an interest in the proposed Bankhead Highway. This invitation is general, and commissions will be issued to all in the counties indicated who will attend.
 Gov. Brough feels that this is a golden opportunity to secure federal aid for this great highway, under the provisions of the Shackelford Act, and urges large attendance.
 The Bankhead Highway Association met in Birmingham, Ala, in April, at which time Gov. Brough and 137 dele gates representing Eastern Arkansas, were assured that the highway would pass through this state provided suf- ficient interest and support are se- cured. It is to run from Washington to Atlanta, to Birmingham, to Mem phis, and on the Pacific coast

LITTLE CHANGE IN
 NEW YORK COTTON
Close is Steady, Net Six Points Higher to Four Lower-Ex- pect Official Condition Report Will be 67.9.

New York, Aug. 30.-The cotton market was generally quiet today. Some Liverpool selling was reported, believed to be against spot purchases in the South, but otherwise trading was considered chiefly in the way of evening up in advance of the bureau report tomorrow and the approaching three-day adjournment. An early break to 22.05 for December was fol- lowed by a rally to 22.42 for that posi- tion, which closed at 22.1S. The gen eral list closed steady, net 6 points higher to points lower. October was relatively steady and there was little trade buying of that position.
 The market opened easy at an ad- vance of points on October, but>ge erally to 10 points lower, and sold ' to II points under last nights closing figures right after the call. There was

considerable scattering liquidation and English selling, but offerings were not badly taken at the decline, and covering became more active dur ing the middle of the day, with Octo- Der selling up from 22,0s to 22.35, and January from 22,O5 to 22.39, or about 19 to 25 points net higher on the more active months. Prices eased later under renewed liquidation, closing some 14 to 23 points off from the best. Three private crop reports were pub lished early, one making the condition 6S.2 and another 69.6. Both these re- ports indicated deterioration of 3.7 per cent for the month, but the third report, making the condition 7O.5, said the condition had improved 2-1Oth per cent as compared with the govern ment report of last month. A can vass of local traders made late in the afternoon suggested an average eX- pectation that tomorrow's official con dition report will be 67.9.

SUBMARINE WAR IS
 DOOMED TO FAILURE
American Navy and Ingenuity Playing Big Part-LOss Un- der This System Reduced to Minimum.

Washington, Aug 30.-American naval forces are conveying merchant craft across the Atlantic, it was dis closed officially today at the Navy De- partment, and examination of the re- cords shows that the loss of conveyed ships by submarines has averaged lcs1 than one-half of one per cent.
 Details of the convoy system are withheld. It was stated, however, that American war vessels are regu- larly escorting fleets of British, French or other allied merchantmen across, the protection being supple mented when the danger zone is reached by the destroyers and other patrol craft.
 American naval officials believe that an effective system for checking the submarine menace is being built up gradually but certainly. Many de- vices and many methods enter into the task. Among other things, depth bombs are proving effective. Official reports indicate that American de- stroyers have accounted for several U-boats with these weapons. No an- nouncement of such incidents will be made, however, unless absolute proof is available.
 No U-boat has been captured by the Americans. It is the best judgment of high officials, however, that several have been sunk by Admiral Sims de- stroyers, and they are confident to- day, more confident than ever before that the submarine menace will be substantially abated as the number of destroyers and other craft available for the work is ipcreased.
 Reports from London that the sub- marines are working farther at sea than formerly were confirmed by the Navy Department. It may be that new boats of greater size and better sea-keeping qualities lend to this eX- tension of the zone of activities, but l it is regarded as more probable that the increasing vigilance of the anti submarine forces is mainly responsi- ble.
 The effect of the increasing patrol, of the employment of airplanes and of the addition of new devices to the anti-submarine weapons, has been to force the U-boats under water to a greater and greater degree.

OLD.TIMER PROTECT.
 ING BEAVER COLONY

Out on the Knik trail to the Will low Creek mines road at Mile 2S12 lis he home of one Of the finest .old>umers in Alaska-nO other than the wellknown "FOrty-Mile" Mil Ter. He has 8 beautiful place on the li:tle Susitna river, good build ings erected, and a fine farm start ed.
 "FOrty-Mile" may get a little bit Deeyed, but we hope not, when we say that near his ranch-for some unaccountabIe reasOn-the beavers have selected g portion Of the flat as g home, and there is at that point perhaps, one of the largest beaylr colonies extant. And MT. Beaver, when he selected Forty Mile" for a neighbor was wise for his years. No better friend could have been selected,
 NJ. Miller is a miner and not traHper. When the writer was there last, a little oyer a year ago, MIL Ter showed us some steel traps that he ad found up near the beaver dam. He stated that the owner could have them by calling at his place but if he imagined that he was going to get any beavers out Of that pend he had another guess coming.
 MT. Miller told us that during the previous summer he believed that he had seen ss many as thousand beav Is working on their project at one time, and he had many in terestins stories to tell of the in dustrious little animals and their habi's. d..
 If any one wants to go up there and do some photograPhing next summer we believe that 1t can be arranged. but do not go there for a specimen; that won't go. And all this protection is given by an old timer gratis to Uncle Sam.
