THE FALL CROPS.

Farmers in this territory who have
seen their corn and other crops fade
out in the extended drouth, will not
be slow now to take advantage OF
the opportunity of saving something
out of the situation by planting then
fall crops. 1t is said that there viii
be large crops of turnips and other
fall planted vegetables this year, and
that the farmers are prepared to take
up this fall farming Immediately.
That shows good spirit among the
farmers. They have had their rebuff,
this year, When seed was expensive
they purchased literally and they
planted we'll They worked theil
crops, and they expected big results
There was a patriotic spirit as well as
a selfish one behind their movement
Then came the extended drouth, am
the fruit of their labor was destroyed
They saved what they could, and the.

BooTLEGGlNG GASOLINE.

After the Little oRck auto supply
dealers united in proposal to save
themselves some money by forcing an
their patronage within certain hours
one ingenius individual found il prof
table to bootleg gasoline on Sunday
and is said to have made a lot OF
profit by charging exorbitant prices

The signed statement of number
OF similar business lines in this city
that they will close at certain periods
need not convey to the itinerant auto
list that he will have to depend on the
gasoline booilegger in Hot Springs
Sunday
One dealer, Mr. Blasdel, on Valley
street, did not sign the agreement
because he believed that Hot Springs
should supply automobiles with neces-
stiles on Sunday. as had been the
rule all the time, and as auto tourists
had oome 10 expect, and will be open
in the future as he and all others had
been in the past.
There has been some talk of prob
able prosecutions should he follow
such rule, but they can be taken care
of by officials who are too broad
minded no have their public functions
directed by any little ooterie.
Little Rock does not need the BUSH
ness that automobile travel brings In
Hot Springs needs all the business she
can get, and is striving and ADVERT.
inc, and gradually perfee;ing hish-
ways, to get this travel. Every reas-
enable inducement should be offered
to maintain it.
1t is easy enough for the ever pres
ent and blatent reformer to take
stand "agin" something that does not
come within the scope of his own re-
quirements and 1t is also an easy mat
ter to devise through commercial Or
ganization an economy that helps 10
enrich the dealers. The automobile
business is new. It is increasing
+ People "ean get along without having
tn auto stations in Hot Springs work
on Sunday" as is claimed, and also
the world would grind along If nobody
ever came to Hot Springs again for
any purpose. But we are looking ar
ter our own welfare little as we go
along, and our welfare seems to re-
quire the offering of every inducement
that will help business here.
The hotels of Hot SPRINGS. the
boarding houses of Hot Springs, the
restaurants, in fact all of Hot SPRINGS
is concerned directly or indirectly
with the facilities of its business lines
and If one auto dealer or another
wants to close on Sunday that would
be his business. but when organiza-
ton is affected for the purpose of de
manding that another and every 9TH
er man operate his business to please
some agitators, it becomes matter
OF public interest.
All the other dealers but Mr. Blais
del ca n close, and perhaps. win do SO.
but any Interference with the business
of the latter because of the new zeai
of the others, will be resented in spirit
at last by the people at large who
want Hot Springs to be natural re-

BUFFALO WAGES GAME FIGHT
Wounded Animal oIvss Battle Royal to
Huntsmen When He 10 eoked
In the Eye.

An exciting story is told of party
who went buffalo shooting In Zuzuland
recently. During the course Of the
holiday buffalo was shot early one
morning. The party saw the animal
drop, and as 1t did not move. decided
to deal with It later In the day. Re
turning in the afternoon they saw the
buffalo from a distance. apparently in
the same position as they left it. One
Of the hunters went out to the buffalo.
and on reaching 1t poked q stick in Its
eye. This had the effect of restoring
animation in the animal. which was
only badly wounded, and a warm time
thereupon ensued for the gentleman In
question.
The buffalo Jumped up and tackled
the hunter. who hung round the neck
Of the buffalo in the hope Of firing It
out. When the other members Of the
party arrived the buffalo and his foe
were whiriing round at such a rnte.
that. It was impossible to get shot in
witlssnt endangerinG the life Of the Int.
ter. The buffalo tried to stamp the
man to the ground with his forefeet,
and at last lifted him with a terrible
toss Of its horns into q thorn-tree near
by. This gave the other men the
chance Of shot. and the buffalo's
career finally terminated.
