crease in the savings accounts, which
amounted to s3,9S5,SS745 March 4,
1914, and $S,926,S4869 on March 4,
1918.
One of the most striking changes,
however, is the tremendous increase
in the amount of United States bonds
carried by the banks. AS late as
November 10, 1915, the banks were
carrying only $2140 of these govern
ment securities. The flotation of the
Liberty Loans, however, began a
tremendous change in this item of
deposits, and there is now a total of
$7,776.053.29 in U. S. Bonds held by
the state banks, not including the
millions carried by the national
banks.
There is a slight increase in the
volume of currency and gold, but a
decrease in the volume of silver and
fractional currency, showing that the
greater amount of the enormous bal
ances are represented by some form
of credit. Four years ago there was
in the state banks $2,290.S33.50 in
gold, now there is 1886. .52;; the
volume of silver money has decreased
from 1864, 1924 four years ago to
s612.16S.21 now.
On March Z. 1916 the banks were
carrying loans on cotton aggregating
$3.39S.090.35. but two years later this
item had increased to $12S91 ,38S.40.
There is less variation in the loans

, FOOD ADM'sTRATIoN ORDERS


There will be no relaxation on the
part of the government where the
conservation of sugar is concerned.
Officials at Washington who are
handling this feature for the United
States Food Administration, have as
sured Hamp Williams, federal food
administrator for Arkansas, that the
large canning plants would he per-
mitted to have enough sugar for
their purposes, and that arrange
ments were being made to get a
supply for home canning production.
In view of the sugar situation, the
following telegram from Washington,
which Mr. Williams received and
sent to his county food administrat-
ors is of considerable interest:
''Ar the present time there is in
preparation a comprehensive plan
for controlling the delivery of sugar
to all manufacturers, regarding which
you will be fully advised shortly. In
the meantime the company is desir-
Gus of conserving sugar, and many
products have practically reduced
consumption to meet the government
request.
"As a result of the shortage thus
created many small plants are start
ing up throughout the country to sup
ply the demand due to the shortage
thus created. 1t is manifest that
actual conservation cannot take place
if new plants are permitted to make
up deficiency caused by conservation
practiced by old established plants.

1T is planned to push forward in
vigorous way the work of the COM
mission" says MIR. Bond. We want
to organize all he counties for moon
light school work We also plan to
have full and complete information
regarding illiteracy conditions in the
state ready to be submitted for the
consideration of the Legislature"
The educational interests of the
state and those interested in educa-
tion are urged to write our repre-
sentative in congress to support a
bill introduced in Congress Oct. 6,
1917 by Senator Bankhead Ito re,
quire the Commission of Education
to devise methods and promote plans
for the elimination of adult illiteracy
in the United States"
This bill carries an annual appro-
priation of $4,000 until 1920.
One of the most effectively and
thoroughly organized commissions
dealing with conditions due to the
war is the Fuel Administration
which has already saved millions OF
dollars to the consumers of the coun-
try.
The organization is thorough
reaching down into the smaller units
and controlling the fuel supply OF
the country, in production, distribu-
ton, and price, as no other necessity
is controlled.
Just now the work that is engaging
the attention of the fuel Administered
ors is that of fixing the price. The
price at the mine. to be paid the pro-
Queer has been fixed, but there are
many elements entering into the
price before it reaches the bin of
the consumer.
There is freight, degradation by
shrinkage and slackage, yard ex.
penses, delivery, and the retailers
profit. The iobber's profit is taken
care of by the producer, being in
Guided in the price at the mine.
County administrators all over the
state are attempting to arrive at a
just determination of these elements
of cost, along lines laid down at
Washington, so that the scale of
prices may be announced for each
community. that will be fair to the
consumer and equitable to the deal
er. There are many local questions
that enter in, which make each com
munity stand practically by itself.
These prices and regulations OF
supply and distribution are not the
arbitrary rulings of the administrator
or of he dealer, but are fixed by
regulation OF the government For
instance, every purchase of coal that
is made, large or small, must be
made on a blank form or requisition,
so that the government can keep a
close account of the actual needs
and consumption Of the people.
Attention is called to the fact that
il is the duty of all local committees
to make a careful investigation of
the cost of handling coal by retailers
in the respective counties, and make
recommendations for prices. This is
what is being done now.
The state administration is doing
its utmost to assist the mine operat-
ors in keeping their mines running.
and provide against the heavy losses
of free time. 1t is urged that every
body buy their coal now, and that
wood be used as fuel wherever pos
sible.
