QUORUM COURTS PASSING
 ON DEMONSTRATION AGENTS

Quorum courts all over the state are today and yesterday passing on the question of establishing a county demonstration agent in each county. The pressure that has been brought to bear is almost irresistible, and it is believed that there are very few coun- ties that will fail to meet the request that has been made. Gov. Brough sent the following message to all the quo rum courts:
 q supplement the appeal of the federal government for a county agent for every Arkansas county. The armies of our allies, as well as our own army, must be fed and America is looked to for these sup plies. A good county agent will help materially at this time. hope you will find it possible to heed this ap- peal"

 Last year Joe tarried in Chicago long enough to take part in the city series in that city, fixture almost as decided as the worlds series, since the big event is the only thing that ever prevents the playing of the Sox-Cubs games annually.
 This winter Joe expects to hibernate on his own farm, Georgia beauty spot he has had his eyes on for some time. Joe is from the Carolinas orig inally and is somewhat stuck on the south. He took an option on his new farm last summer and used his series cut to pay the balance after the games had been finished.

 FIVE BILLION GOAL
Only New Reports Show New York Total Gaining-SOldiers in France Subscribe $5,7S4,- 500 Toward Second Loan.

Washington, Oct 28.-The total amount subscribed to the second Lib erty Loan, the Treasury Department announced tonight, is still ca matter of speculation. Several days prob ably will elapse before the full extent is ascertained.
 The department is without figures showing any change in the estimated totals, except in the New York dis trict. New York's maximum of S1,- 500,O00, reported last night to have been exceeded, may be increased by late returns to $1,750, ,OOO.
 Few districts reported to the treas ury. They have till next Thursday to make complete report
 Returns received at the treasury today gave little indication as to the final result" the department announc- ed tonight. "On the face of returns it cannot be said whether the sale eX- ceeded $5,OOO,OOO,O00. Conviction is general, however, that it probably ap- proximated the maximum total
 Ut seems certain that every dis trict has gone we'll past it's minimum, and that several will exceed their maximum sufficiently to carry the weaker districts to the high mark in the general total.
 Indians have subscribed S3,866,- 750, according to latest reports by Cato Sells. commissioner of Indian af- fairs"
 Figures now in show that the army has subscribed more than $82 ,000, 900. About $50, 100000 has been allotted by soldiers to the federal reserve bank at New York. General Pershing ca bles that $5,784, 500 has been sub scribed by the American expeditionary forces in France.
