ATTITUDE TOWARD OFFICERS

Very little enthusiasm or even SUD- port can be found among the returned soldiers at the mention of any presi- dential candidacy on the part of any generals in the army. They've got their favorite major, and their favor ite corporal and captain and private and lieutenant-they are strong for York and Dallis Smith and Garber and Harris and Screws and the men an1 officers around 'em-but when you talk to 'em about some general for President, they don't warm up. Thes e are some definite things and definite policies for their own good and protec- tion and for the welfare of the coun- try-even for it's honor-that they want to see incorporated in the laws of the ceuntry-their organizations can easily effect this, speaking as a unit, which is the way to make it's un- limited power felt-but if anyone thinks it is going to be used as a tool for some individual presidential boom they don't know the clear heads and original ideas of the boys who did the fighting.
 The cables from England state that in that aristocratic monarchy parlia- ment has authorized the advancing of $500 for one year to each soldier who has need thereof good many soi- diers are still walking around earnest ly looking for employment.

FUTURE OF NATIONAL GUARD

The demobolized soldiers are taking keen interest in the future military policy of the country and in the de- ve1opment of the National Guard. To a man almost they believe in a strong programme and are believers also that the men from civil life, after they had learned Grequently being self-taught) the elements of the game, were the ones that did the responsible and the successful work of the American army in this war. Hence, they are very much interested in the National Guard.
 'I would like to see the New York plan adopted in Alabama at once," said one of a cluster of discharged officers at the Woodward corner yesterday, General O'Ryan, as soon as he was re- appointed adjutant general by Governor Smith, after the return of the Twenty seventh division, issued call to all officers, who were not at that time in the New York National Guard, but who had served at the fighting front He took the position that he wanted the New York National Guard to have the most experienced and proven officers that could be made available; that the fitness of these men had receivsd the

IiTrLE ROCK LErrgs
By Clio Harper.


 Little Rock, Aug. Hone of the biggest news stories in the United States today,--that is. constructive news stories.--is that of the apple and peach crop of the State of Ar kansas this season. 1t Is the lary- est and most valuable in the history of the state.
 It is so large that the estimates of it's value vary millions of dollars. The Arkansas peaches command top prices in the northwest markets, and have taken precedence over Della ware and other states long noted for their superior fruit. B
 And the apple cropl There Is no way of estimating its value that can be considered accurate. It is 100 perfect where the orchards have been cared for properly and the de- mand was never greater.
 Stories that come out of Benton and Washington Counties ''the worlds greatest apple orchard of ten challenge the eredulity of the public.
 It is readily in keeping with the stories of tremendous fortunes over night in oil wells and leases.
 One man sold the apples on the trees for S0,000, another for SAC. 900. The buyer does the picking and the shipping. One man offered his farm for sale last year at s7.00O and has just sold the apples in his many instances where the apples are worth more than the land would have sold for before the Big Crop.
 Mortgages are being lifted, auto mobiles are taking the place of the horse for farm transportation, as trucks and tractors are taking the place of other means of farming. Better homes are being built in the county. More modern machin- cry is being purchased. Highways are beng constructed, and every- where there are evidences of a genuine prosperity.
 And in Benton and Washington Countes it is largely the result of the bumper apple yield. Apples do

 Then there was the strawberry crop. which brought flood of gold into a number of favored counties.
 1t is a demonstration of the truth that has long been advertised that Arkansas must not any longer be considered bound hand and foot to the chariot of King Cotton, but that it a state of numerous and varied resources.

 The next Democratic primary will be held a year from this week. but there Is already as great an activity among the candidates as though the eiecton were to be held next March, as if was few years ago. Candi- course. an the quarter horses appear to be in disrepute. The offices most frequently mentioned at ths time are Governor, |. s. Senator and Commissioner of state lands. The big interest will center in these of fees
 One of the most interesting situ- ations appears in Nevada County where there are two avowed and one prospective candidates for Gov ernor. Judge George R. Haynie and former Congressman T. c. McRae have announced as candidates, and State Senator ]. O. A. Bush has in- dicated that he is considering making the race. Both Mir. McRae and Judge Haynie have made public their platforms. Judge Haynie has also proposed an elimination primary for Nevada County to determine which shall make the race, but Col. McRae has not at this time made answer to the challenge.
 The race for United States Sena- tor, likely to be run through. as a three-cornered event, is beginning to take on some evidences of life, and by early spring should develop into spirited contest With three of the states most popular and as tute campaigners in the race, it should not lack for thrills and gen tlemanly, high-toned sensations as the campaign progresses.
 There are several men who have been more or less prominently men tioned for Governor who are still considering the serious question of To Be or Not To Be. In majority of the cases, it is safe prediction that they will adopt the safe route which is the negative.

very good, or that the laws were not being rigidly enforced by the courts. And those who have made anything like a careful observation of condi- tions are convinced that there has not been an excess of righteousness. Under the present administration with new judge on the bench, the receipt from police court fines have advanced to an average of $5,000 a month. ten times what it was.
 A very large per cent of the pen alties comes from fines assessed against speeders and other violators of the traffic laws. There are more cases of bootIegging than there are of drunkenness, and disturbing the peace cases are not nearly os num- erous, now that liquor is so difficult to get.
 There is a great deal of bootleg ging and some of the surreptitious dealers in outlawed intoxicants are becoming most adroit in their meth- ods. The most adept, however, sooner or later come to grief.
 Those in touch with the bootleg ging market say that whiskey is quoted now at $15 a quart, with plenty of old topers willing to pay that amount for it. A plain drunk thus becomes a luxury, and a case of D. T's far beyond the dreams of avariee. The story is told of one man who last week handed over to an itinerant dealer SIS in real mon- ey for five quarts of booze, thereby establishing a new record. If this article is to be considered in calcu- lationS on the H. c. L., there is lit- tie likelihood of an early reduction, for as liquor becomes scarcer the bootleg quotations will advance. sssses
