ference was expected to be concluded
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The increase must be approved by the
director-gcneral OF railroads before II

m%endation Of the wage board virtually
assures its adoption, 1t Is said. II the

months to work out h new schedules
but the increase Is expected to be ret
roACtive to the date OF the agreement.

ceived increases amounting to from $40
to $50 per month.

BANKS REFLECT
PROSPERITY OF
ARKANSAS FOLK
Individual Deposits Increase
Nearly 300 Per Cent in -Four
Years.
Rv Clio Harper

by CllO Ildl PSA
An unfailing barometer of the state
prosperity is found in the condition
of the banks, as shown from time TO
time by the state bank commission
err.
For instance, the increase in the re-
sources of 1882 state banks, not in
Guiding the nationals, from March a,
to May IL, 1919, was from S63,8O6,-
156.29 to $146, 562, 928,65. Four years
ago on May 1, the total resources OF
the same banks were only $63,8O6,-
156.55. or less than half the present
resources.
One of the most striking increases
| is that of Government bonds. -Four
years ago all the state banks OF Ark
ansas had only 5000 in Government
securities, while the report just made
public shows total of $12, 1855, O89. AZ.
In the same four year period the
individual deposits increased from
$24,O79, 48783 to$68, 290, 559.O7, OF
or nearly 300 per cent.
There is much less gold now in the
state than there was four years ago.
the figures being $339,235, in May
1915, and $18O,249 in May, 1919.
Loans on real estate have increas-
ed from $40, 48,674.55 to $14,279,891.-
40.
Another striking increase is that
of the loans on cotton, which, in Sep
TENDER, 1915, amounted to only $780,
631.97, and in May, 1919, to the stu
pendous sum of $9,048,O41.10. The
high water mark on cotton loans
however, was reached in November
1917, when it reached $16,025, 464. 49,
Notwithstanding these great in
creases in many items, however, the
banks are doing business on a smaller
capital than they did five years ago
On March 3, 1914, the combined cap
ital of the 431 state banks then in ex-
istence was %4,06S,328.8 The mum.
Der of banks has been reduced to 1872
with capital stock Of $13,915,575
This is due largely to consultations
The people of Arkansas have be.
come thrifty and have more resources
in actual money and material wealth
than ever before in the history of the
state. The resources of which we
have long been boasting are at last
being developed and in some sections
of the state are bringing in millions
of dollars. Those who are looking
to the future are beginning to realize
that money must be invested to make
money, and that there is no good rea
son why Arkansas should be outstrip
ped by Texas and Oklahoma.

HOW THE FORMER
GERMAN KAISER
PASSES The Time
Has Taken Up Study of Archae-
Ology to Keep Mind Off His
Plight.

Amerongen, May 15.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press) "A
resumption of the former interest IN
archaeology is one of the means adop-
ted recently by the former German
emperor to keep his mind from dwell
ling constantly on his position. Pro-
lessor Duerpfield, one of the most
eminent psychologists of Germany,
came to join the Hohenzollern circle
a month or so ago, and since his ar
rival has spent several hours almost
every afternoon in his former mon
arch's company.
Every phase Of archaeological re-
search is discussed during these con-
versations, in the course of which the
professor entertains the exile with
details of the discoveries made by him
and his companions in the region OF
Palestine, Syria and other sections of
the near east. The professor is an
old companion of Hohenzollern, with
whom he spent some time on the Is
land of Corfu, where the one-time
German ruler owned the castle of Ar
chilleion.

versation, for reference to the war
is tacitly taboo when the erstwhile
! emperor and his consort join the FAM
! lily circle Of the Bentincks. On these
occasions both Hohenzollern and his
immediate suite, including the body
physician, DR.. Forester, and Profess
sor Duerfield, wear military uniforms
The Bentincks, although some of the
members of the family have the right
to wear them, always appear in civil
ian dress.
At present the entire suite except
the marshall of the court, Won Con
tard, reside outside the castle, either
in the village inns, or in rented cot
tages. All of them have full liberty
of movement about Holland, but their
appearance passes entirely unnotic-
ed, as they never travel in uniform.
