LITTLE ROCK FEDERAL
 RESERVE BANK OPENS

The Little Rock Federal Reserve bank, branch of the St. Louis Re serve bank, opened it's doors yester- day morning on the second floor of the Southern Trust building, with 43 member banks. Visitors were shown over the bank by John M. Davis, managing director. Flowers were re- ceived from several local banks.
 The reserve balance of these 43 member banks, transferred to the lo- cal branch by the St. Louis Federal Reserve bank, amounts to $2,500,000, MT. Davis said. The first bank to make deposit was the Bank of Com merce. The first item of business run trough was received from the Merchants and Planters Bank of Tex arkana.
 o. B. Atterbury, cashier of the I al Reserve bank of St. Louis, R. R. Clabaugh, assistant cashier, and g N. Hall, manager of the discount department, all of St. Louis, assisted in the opening.-Gazette.
 All of Newport is proud of the snlendid record of achievement that has been made by one of it's native sons, Arthur Bailey, who has been unanimously elected to the important and responsible position of cashier of the Federal Reserve bank at Little Rock Arthur Bailey can be truly pointed to as a self-made man, having risen to prominence in the banking world through his sturdy efforts, close application to business, and his keen intelligence and unusual ability Few men have ascended to such an important position at the age of 35 years.
 MT. Bailey began his banking career with the old Bank of Newport. Later he gained experience in Jonesboro, from which place he held important posts in financial centers in Oklaho- ma. Four years ago when the state ranking examiners office was creat- ed, Mir. Bailey was selected as one of the examiners. That he discharged his duties in thorough and compe- tent manner is attested by the honor that has recently been bestowed up- on him by tn Federal government.
 Probably no force of state officials has been more signally honored than the men who, with John Nj. Davis, were connected with the state bank examiners office since it's creation. Mr. Davis, himself, has been made managing director of the Little Rock Federal Reserve bank. Mir. Bailey, one of the examiners, is cashier. Mir.

Get Half of Your Tire
Money Back

When yOu bought your last standard tire,
suppose the dealer handed you back half the
money you paid him.
II would make you very happy, wouldn't ii?
Well that's just what happens when you buy
a Gates Half-SOle Tire because they cost half
as much as standard tires Of corresponding
size, and deliver 5000 to $1,000 miles.
And you get an iOn-clad, Puncture-prOOf
guarantee in addition.
A new scientific principle IN tire construction
invented by Charles c. Gates, E. NJ, makes all
this possible over half a million car
owners in the United States have taken ad-
vantage Of this money SaVing-wOny ending
opportunity.
Until recently these advantages were limited
to motorists IN bigger cities only. Now that
you can cut your tire bin IN twO-right here

marks Of refinement"
A recent indication OF this discern

Big league scouts are shopping

The war kept many a young player

one Of the grandest losing strug-

in which the beloved Jack Demp-

to Bob Fitzsimmonss down in New

Fitz was coming then and Demp-
sey was going. Jack was in it from
the start. and as early as the third
round was practically out, the gong
saving him repeatedly. Thereafter
it was pitiful to see him go in round
