GENERAL PERSHING
WELCOMED HOME
GREAT CROWDS GREAT A. <. F.
COMMANDER I'M HIS Re-
TURN TO u. S.

New York.-America has welcom-
ed General Pershing home.
Honored by foreign rulers and
governments, the commander in chief
of the mightiest army that ever
fought its way to victory under ths
Stars and Stripes. returned to his
own folk to meet a greater honor
than any foreign potentate or power
could confer-the thanks of the
worlds greatest democracy, to the
man who had planned the decisive
blow in demoeracy's supreme fight
against tyranny.
The stern-faced soldier. who had
maintained his iron self-control amiu
the shamt1essof the Meuse and the
blood drenched forests of Argonne,
was not proof against the tribute of
praise and gratitude which was roar
ed from hundreds of thousands of
Threats and hearts of his fellow citi-
zens.
His voice trembled with emotion
as he responded to the greetings ex-
tended by Secretary of War Baker in
his own behalf, and that of the presi-
cent, as well as the welcoming au-
dress Of representatives of the Sem
ste and House, the state and city.
As his car passed slowly through
tie cheering multitudes which jam
med Broadway from the Battery ID
the City Hall, General Pershing at
tempted in vain to maintain his com
rosure. At first ne replied to the
cheers with the stiff salute which
military etiquette demands, bat he
vas soon carried away by the storm
of applause which swept i'm great
gusts about him. Rising to his feet,
he waved his cap about his head
with a boyish gesture which told how
deeply he was stirred, While the grim
lines of his bronzed face broke into a
smile which was as infectious as it
was rare.

declared here.3 must await the re-es-
Enlistment of complete peace ba-
sis, which will put labor and capital

In two addresses the president de-
clared that the connection between

Il direct one and that the world was
looking to America to take the lead
lit restoring the world to a sound
economic basis
MI. Wilson spoke at a special ses-
sion of the Minnesota Legislature

ing at the st. Paul Auditorium. He
also addressed a meeting in Mime

president found the auditorium filed

said t'sere were no political consid-
erations in his speeeh-making trip for
the treaty. 1t was an American is
sue, he declared and he had come out
TO the people rather ito hold counsel"
than to make fight against any
body
Despite the varied origins of the
people of America, said the presi-
dent, distinctly American type had
been developed and one of the dis
tinctions OF that type was the belief
in equality. as contrasted with the
class distinctions of the other coun-
tries.
Adding that there were "a great
many hyphens" left in America. the
president declared a "hyphen> tn
most un-American" trait to he found
in the country.

porting Service.
Little Rock The deterioration in
the condition of the cotton crop,
which 50 often occurs in August,
happily did not take place in Arkan-
sas, as It did in most of the cotton
producing states, according to the re-
rorF issued by Charles S. Bouton,
Field Agent OF the Bureau of Crop
Esfimates, and Jim g. Ferguson,
State Commissioner of Agriculture.
L Is true that there has been de-
teriorafion in some counties, mainly
IN The hill sections of central western
Arkansas. in independence and Jacl :
son counties, and in the stiff prairie
soils of Arkasas. Prairie and Phil
lips cennties, but in seventeen cour
ties Of North and Northeast Arkan-
fas, including Crittenden county, and
IN the southern tier of counties. es-
specially in Lafayette, Little River
and Columbia, the reports show
marked improvement The other
counties have either held their own
q made slight improvement
CoBmenting further ON conditions
Mr. Bcuton says: During August
we made very careful investigation
Of the cotton crop in the state, and
received very full reports from all
but one county in The state. The
tone was generally optimistic in
comparison with previous reports.
Heavy fruiting is generally remark
cd. Less is said about poor stands
but the lateness of the crop is still
mentioned. The date of the first
lsilling frost seems now to he the
most prominent factor in dt3erlnin
ing the size Of the crop.
The condition cure of 65 indicates
q yield per acre of lint cotton of 169
pounds. eleven pounds more than the
final figure of last year and forecasts
a total production for the state Of
$4,000 bales. This will be greater
Ct less according as conditions af
fecting the crop improve or decline
for the balance of the season.
IN regard to diseases and insect
pests, o careful analysis shows no re-
port OF damage by bell weevil in the
north half of the state except in
fgebMne and Pulaski counties. IN
Eastern Arkansas there was slight
complaint from Lee and Phillips
counties. while in Southern Arkansas
there was some complaint from
Hampstead. Lafayette Pike, Clark,
Onion. Deshas Drew and Chicot, AMI
serioas complaint from Nevada and
Ouachita.
Twelve counties reported army
worm, but at the date this report
covers viz: August Is, they had
done very little damage.
Rust and blight we're reported in
only Eve counties. and cannot at
present be regarded as serious. Shed
ding. which usually follows the
breaking of a dry spell. was reported
IN twenty-three countless or fror

Shortage of labor is feared in some
