ARKANSAS CROP
 PRICE |S H|GH

Henry c. Yeager of Tolleson, one of the old time farmers on a large scale in the Salt River valley, has recently received information in a letter from his Non in Arkansas. The information illustrates the faith of Arkansas bank CTS and business interests of that state in the high price that cotton will bring next season.
 Gilbert Yeager has been in the bank ing business for a long time in Helena, Arkansas. As long staple cotton is becoming the crop in Salt River valley so in Helena, Arkansas, the great crop is short staple cotton. What is evil dence of a straw as to what may be expected in the way of prices next fall Gilbert Yeager advises that contracts are being made at this time for 40 cents for short staple for September picking. According to the relative prices of short staple on long staple cotton long staple cotton in that event would sell for much more than the present high quotations Mir KYeager thinks that this would be of consider able interest to cotton growers of this valley. particularly as just now prices are quite unsettled. incidentally, Gill bert Yeager, who is still living in Arkansas. has invested in Salt River valley lands recently.

BLAMED HERSELF
 STATES WITNESS

"Oh, my God, it is all my fault" is the pitiful cry Chares F. Moss declared he heard at the Four Mile Crossing when the train struck the automobile driven by Mrs. Mary Helen Jones.
 Moss was the first witness for the defense in the $10,00O damage suit brought by Mrs. Jones against the Ari- zona Eastern railroad, resulting from an accident that occurred in April. 1916.
 Moss testified that he had never in his life felt so sorry for any woman as he did for Mrs. Jones wnen he heard her agonizing cry, A passenger on the train, he said he heard the woman re- peat again and again the cry in which she blamed herself.
 Mrs. Jones' when on the stand. de- nied that the accident occurred through any fault on her part. She said she was 91 feet from the track when she looked for the train and not seeing it, approached. Later she cor rected herself and said she was 80 feet away from the train anc failing to note it started across the tracks.
 When the plaintiff rested, the jury was excused and counsel for the de- fense argued a motion Tor an instructed verdict on the ground of contributory | negligence.
 Judge Stanford denied the motion.
 Moss was then called to the stand and was followed by City Engineer Hitchcock who had not completed his testimony when court adjourned until 9:30 o'clock this morning.

FAXED ILLNESS 15 YEARS
est. Louis Times

An accident recently revealed that woman who has lain in bed 15 years has nothing physically ailing her. She is Miss Alice Hundle of Alton, former postmistress at Ham, burg, III. She refuses to say why she has taken such a long rest, and physicians are puzzled at her atti- tude. The discovery of her real con- dition came about after the fall of her mother, Mrs. Henrietta Rundel, S5 years old, whose hip was frac- tured. When doctors ordered her to the hospital, her daughter had to go also, since the mother had been the sole attendant of the daughter. Physicians say that the woman is healthy and can regain her strength as soon as she is able to walk again.

What Farmer Browns Boy
Found.

No ears in all the Green Forest are
quicker to catch sound than are the
ears OF Ruster Bear. He heard the
whistle of Farmer Browns Boy just
q wee mite before anybody else did.
Now usually Buster Bear is quite up
set when he knows that Farmer
Browns BOY or any other Of the two
legged creatures called man is about.
You see Buster knows all about ter
rible guns and how they can hurt
even when \ long distance or. He
knows that terrible guns are found
only in the hands of men. And so
Buster has a very great distrust or
all men.
Hut for once Buster Bear rejoiced
in his heart at the knowledge that
one of those hated two-legged crea-
lures was coming. It meant that he
would be able to get out Of the scrape
into which his needless tongue had
got him. He knew that not one OF the
little people about him would think
him a coward for getting out of sight
Of Farmer Browns Boy. He knew
that most of the rest of them would
do the same thing. II he ran away,
threat OF shaking Prickly Porky:
But not one of those looking on could
say that he wouldn't have done SO II
Farmer Browns Boy had not come.
The instant Buster heard that whis-
tie he turned and as silently as g
great black shadow he disappeared
among the trees. 1t was astonishing
that one so big and clumsy looking
could move so quickly and silently.
Tho other little people listened for a
moment. then one by one they dis
anneared as swiftly as had Buster

then you can hear the cars bump,
bump! bump! as they come up and
hit the springs on the car in front Of
them.
But don't think that we are not
enjoying this trip through Ia bell
France because as Sandy Splits Just
said a little bit ago. I'm for settling
down here the rest Of my life because
the women do all the work"
Well. guess that is not exactly the
whole truth. but when you ride

seem kind OF like that Still I guess
some Of the reason Is that the men are
away away fighting and the women have to

most of che farmers live in little VII

morning. So you can look across a

And say. they certainly think US
American soldiers are the real thing.
Every time this troop train that's TAX
ing us to our training camp goes
through a village pr a town the kids
ana the old men and the women all
cheer and shout and wave their hands.
Il makes fellow feel queer and funny.
like something big was expected Of him

A little while ago an old woman in
black dropped on her knees like she was
praying when we went by. Well, the
train slowed down q little way ahead
but she kept right on kneeling. Nobody
said nothing at all for about half 4
second. and then big Private Fat walt
crs he got up and there wasn't any smile
on his face when he put his head out Of
the wide door and hoilered:
"vivey la France! Vivey Ia France,
Mcdaniel"
And the old lady she got UP then and
waved at us-but even from where we
were we could see the tears runnins
down her cheeks.

In Philadelphia a philanthropic So
ciety took a lot of dirty. neglected
tenements, cleaned them up. repaired
and modernized them. rented them and
moved on to the next block to repeat
the process. But it's improvements

their rents and selling prices and the
associations progress was presently
chasing adjacent slums except at pro-
hibitive figures.

case. The land where the town now
stands was worth $1.279.000 in 1888.
The Lackawanna Steel Company put
a huge plant there. Half the workers
still live in Buffalo at much cost and
inconvenience. but q population of
$4,000 did come with the plant. The
net profit to the surprised and de-
lighted landowners Of the neighbor-
hood during the next few years WAS
S6.7Ss.000. after allowing for all as
sessments for streets. sewers. etc.
Which is enough to explain why the
workers of Lackawanna do not spread
over the broad acres that lie near the
mill gates, but huddle in dismal sa-
loon lodgings in insanitary squalor.

Of the spectators.
If the employees Of the Eackawanna
Steel Company could only have club
bed together somehow at the outset
and quietly acquired the town land at
the then value of $91 per capita, as
compared with the later $644 per cap
ita, anticipating and forestalling the
unearned increment, the land would
not now be almost too costly for them
to live on.
