time in the history of the state, has such a condition existed, for what is true of Little Rock is said to be true of many of the other cities. About the only way new conner can get place in which to live is to buy it, and he finds that the prices are in keeping with those of all other commodities. If he thinks of building,-and there is considerable building in progress the contractors very frankly tell him that he must add 90 per cent to the cost of similar buildings five years ago. With brick-layers being paid $1.25 an hour, and other la hor in proportion, the increased cost of building can be readily explained.
 Real estate dealers are combing the city for property to sell and there is considerable changing hands at fancy figures. Still, when man goes out house -hu ,tirg he finds is particularly lasd job. There have been some instances of persons who have sold their homes because they got good price for them, only to find that there was nothing else available within reason. One man sold out at profit oi seven hund- red dollars, spent several days in vain looking for a house. then bought back his old home at S2OO more than nc had sold it fer.

ed to 1,360,000 bushels, Georgia with 2,694,000 busoels and Wash lngton with 1,417,0O0 bushels. The total crop of the United States this year was 29,461 ,000 bushels, as compared with total of 2O,579,0oo bushels last year.
 Extremely dry weather, together with excessive heat, just prior to and during ripening and shipping season, together with railroad strikes, embargoes and ice shortage. combined to reduce the commercial movement of peaches out of Arkan- sas this year. Had it not been for these conditions, Arkansas would probably have ranked next to Cali fornia.
 The Highland and other Southern Arkansas districts had the promise up to the time the crop was nearly ready to move, of movement great CT than earlier estimates if normal weather had prevailed. This sec tion shipped 70 of it's estimated movement, and the extreme drouth reduced the size of the fruit.
 Loss is reported at some shipping points, peaches being left in the orchards as result of the lack of transportation facilities. North western Arkansas moved nearly 100 cars out of an estimated movement of 125 cars. The total production of Arkansas is now estimated at l ,360,000 bushels as compared with a final estimate of 87,000 bushels in 1918. The car movement will exceed 2500 cars this year. The balance of the commercial crop reached the market by express or truck, or was absorbed by the can ming factories. Prices throughout the state were generally good, FL bertas selling for s1.50 to $500 fob.
 While no authoritative announce ment has been made by him, it is known positively that Chas. c. R. Reid, former Congressman from this distridt, is seriously considering getting into the race for Governor. He has been located in Little Rock for several years, having come here from Morrilton, and engaged in the practice of law with Tom M. Me haffy, the firm Mehaffy, Reid, Don ham & Mehaffy.
 The Republican party in Arkan- sas, really, during the war we had overlooked the fact that there is such an organiztion,-is threaten ing a comeback. Leaders of the party announce that they will have ticket in the field for the 1920 election. Of course, they do not ex- pect to elect their candidates, but they want to keep themselves in the political spotlight in the event the party should ever come into power again nationally.

LITTLE ROCK LETTER

r;ttle Rock, Sept. 22.-The second .vtraordinary session of the Forty sasord General Assembly, which sonyened today, promises to be a historic session. m Although is is called expressly for road and profiteering legislation, tbe terms of the call are so broad that it outlines enough work for thirty days, instead of the six days which Governor Brough has desired. That the session will continue the fu fifteen days allowed under the law seems assured-if quorum can be maintained during that time on their half pay of $3 day.
 The bills that are being prepar- ed to define, stop, and punish urofiteering, hoarding and extortion t will be foundC will not be uassed without more or less oppo- sjtion. and some of the measures will be found particularly object jonable to some of the Senators and Representatives.
 Then, too, the road legislation for which the session was primarily called, will not be all easy sailing, for already there is talk of oppo- sition to some of the measures that will be proposed. It will not be tame session, by any means.

 The coming of President Wilson to Little Rock next Sunday to dis cuss the League of Nations, is one of the epochal events in the his tory of Little Rock At the same time, there is condition attendant upon his coming that is a source of great regret to the people of the city. There is no building in the city large enough to accommodate even a small portion of the people who want to hear him. He cannot speak in the open on account of his voice, and Liberty Hall is the only place that is available. And that will accomodate 5000 people. The Board of Commerce in charge of the arrangements, has received one thousand seats for persons outside of the city, to be distributed by lot tery, and only 2,000 Little Rock people can secure admission. This condition is emphasizing more than ever the urgent necessity for the erection of an adequate auditorium for such occasions. The Board of Commerce and the City admins tration are considering plans for such building.
 The Department of Mines, Manu- fixtures and Agriculture, under the administration of Commissioner Jim c. Ferguson, is being enlarged and extended for it's service to the peo- pie. The Department of Immigra- ton, with John c. Small at the head of it, is doing good worK, and the various bureaus are active and progressive. Two new men have just been appointed. B. V. Robert son, booster from Searcy county, has accepted clerical position in the office. F. c. Albright, of Boone county recently returned from over seas service, has been appointed deputy feed commissioner, to sue ceed L. L. Brickhouse, and will en- ter upon his duties Oct l.
 One of the most interesting of the political questions confronting the state at this time, is the future of Gov. Brough. It has been pub lished, but denied he has signed a five-year contract with a new state Board of Commerce organzation, at a salary of $10,000, to act as its publicity director and Booster-in- Chief. The appointment would be- come effective upon his retirement from the office of Governor, in January, 1921. This would mean, of course, his definite retirement from politics for that time, and his withdrawal from the race for the United States Senate.
 It is known, positively, that the proposition has been made to him and that he is seriously considering it that there are many of his friends who are urging him not to quit the race for the Senate, while others are as insistent that he take up the new work, winch will enable him to use his great talents as boost CT for the good of the whole state. It is expected that he will make some definite announcement this week.

Margaret Smith Home One Of City's
Most Attractive Institutions

Among the most interesting and
attractive institutions in Richmond is
the Margaret Smith Home for Aged
Women which is situated at the corner
of Seventeenth streets.
In 1883 the Home was founded by
a fund left by Margaret Smith and
was Incorporated in 1901.
For several years the Francis Rob
inson home on South Fifth street was
used for this purpose. Twenty years
ago the McQuinney home was pur-
chased. When the institution was
first founded there were nve women
living in it, Later on when it was
moved it had capacity of IL. Two
years ago the house north of the
Home was purchased and an annex
was built which now makes it possible
for Is women to live there.
In addition to the sleeping rooms
there are two parlors, dining room
and a sun parlor, which connects the

The women in the Home have a
small library to occupy their time as
we'll as Victrola. Most of them have
fancy work. mending. piecing quilts
and other forms of sewing to do
Many Of them make spending money
by doing this work. Martha Rice. mat
ron, said that many of them do beau.
tiful work in fancy work and all kinds
of mending.
Each member of the family has a
duty which she performs each morn
ing. One woman dusts one parlor
another, another parlor, and one wo
man who has been living at the home
for II years has been ironing the
table linen. When she first came to
the home she asked for this duty. The
linen is done beautifully.
Each woman who wishes to do SC
may do her own ironing. They take
care Of their own rooms.
The oldest woman at the home is
81. Each one who is admitted must
be over 60 years of age.
One woman who was matron at the
Margaret Smith Home for 10 years is
now a member of the family and is
81 years old, and according to the
matron is the liveliest one there.
A janitor cleans the house each
week and takes care of the lawn. One
cook is employed for the home. Three
meals day are served and everyone
has all she desires. The food is simple,
nourishing and well cooked.
Visitors are welcome at any time.
The members of the Board of the
Home are Mrs. E. G. Hibberd, Mrs.
