6 ,O0O TROOPS IN LINE AT
 LITTLE ROCK YESTERDAY

Little Rock, Sept. Z0.-"There are enough Arkansas boys here today to bring the Kaiser into camp without any trouble" declared Gov. Brough in an address before the members of the national army who had arrived in the city, the Second and Third regiments of Arkansas troops, and several thousand citizens of the state as sembed yesterday afternoon in front of the state capitol.
 It was an ideal day, and the circus parade followed soon afterward with the military parade attracted thous ands of spectators. There were near ly 5000 troops in line, counting the Iowa artillery, and the parade stretched from Main street to the state capitol on West Capitol avenue. The seemingly intending line of khaki clad troops marching with all the pre- cision of trained regulars, was one of the most impressive sights ever wit messed in Little Rock. National Guard and National army were applauded all along the line of march by admiring thousands.
 The ranks of the National army were filled with men from all stations in life. None of them had received their uniforms, and there were clerks and professional men in tailored suits and mechanics and farmers boys in overalls and blue-jeans jumpers. But it was apparent to all that all they needed was uniforms and discipline to make of them an effective army.

COTTON MARKET
 MAKES BIG JUMP
Climb is Rapid and Excited Close is 61 to 91 Points Up Demand More Active After Weather Bureau Report.

New York, Sept 19.-There was a rapid and excited advance in the cot ton market today, with December con- tracts selling at 21.43c, or more than S4 per bale above last nights closing figures and very nearly two cents per pound above the low level of last week. That delivery closed at 21.23c, with the general list closing very steady at net advance of 61 to 91 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 12 to 53 points with the buy ing movement becoming more active as the call progressed, and with the late months showing the maximum gains. There was enough realizing to cause some irregularity right after the call, but more optimistic talk of peace prospects and bullish overnight spot advices, appearel to stimulate covering, with demand becoming still more active aftetr the publication of the weekly Weather Bureau report. October sold up to 21.50, January to 21.36 and March to 21.54 or v to 91 points net higher before the end of the morning. Demand then slackened and nearly half the advance was lost under realizing and local selling prob ably encouraged by less favorable ad- vices as to peace prospects and re- ports that the advance had brought in some scattered hedge selling from the South.
 Business was much less active on the setback. however, and as soon as realizing subsidel, the market devel- opend renewed strength, closing within Is to 20 points of the best.
 Cotton closed very steady.

COTTON SHOULD NOT
 BRING LESS THAN 30
Commissioner Pake Says Arkan- sas Cotton Sold For Less than p Cents Per Pound Will be Sold at a Sacrifice.

Little Rock, Sept. 2O.-Commission- CT John H. Page says that it should sell at not less than thirty cents a pound, and he advises farmers to hold for that price.
 If the Arkansas cotton crop is sold for less than p cents a pound, it will be sold at sacrifice" said Mir. Page. Twenty cents for the Arkansas farm CTS cotton this fall and winter will mean hardship and some privation next year. It will mean greater bur dens for the merchants and financiers. It will mean drain upon the country that the country is not prepared to stand, and will hurt everybody, every business and every industry. If this statement of facts is true, our duty is plain. It is to hold cotton for better price, and the obligation rests alike upon all, in so far as their business relations touch the transaction of pro- ducing and handling cotton. If the Arkansas cotton had been held last year it would have sold for twenty five cents a pound. If it is held this year we may expect as much. The present price of cotton goods more than justifies the hope.
 Eight ounce Osnaberg is selling wholesale at 31 cents a yard. That means 62 cents a pound. Osnaberg is "a low grade cotton goods, not requir- ing high grade or staple cotton. The cost of manufacture does not exceed ten cents pound. Step into any dry goods store and price any kind of cotton goods and weigh it and see what cotton is bringing in the manu- factured state. You will soon be con- vinced that cotton should be selling at 50 cents pound. Weigh and ponder these things, and then let's get to- gether and hold Arkansas cotton for price that will save our farmers and business men from future depression and possible disaster"
The Prescott daily news., 1917-09-20

There were speeches by Governor Brough, Maj. Gen. Sturgis, Judge Miles and others, cheering the men on to their battle for democracy. Gov. Brough predicted that through the efforts of the Arkansas troops, and others like them, after this war has been won by the allied forces, and the world made safe for democracy, "No longer will any political grand larceny for the annexation of territory be possible anywhere in the world"
