TREATY AGREEMENT
REPORTED IN SIGHT
DEMOCRATS MAY ACCEPT RE-
PUBLIcANs, RESERVATIONS
AND RATIFY AMENDMENT.
FIGHT is NEARING END
Twenty Republicans, 1t Was Said,
Would Enable Measure To Be
Passed BY Necessary TWO
Thirds Majority.

Washington. The trend toward
agreement ON reservations in this
peace treaty reached the stage where
the Republican senators, who advo-
cate reservations, received assur-
ances which they accepted as guaran-
teeing Democratic assent to their
program.
1t was said that as soon as they
could pledge a score of Republican
votes for reservations to the League
of Nations covenant along the line
recently agreed on by seven Republic
can senators, the administration
forces in the Senate would be willing
to line up on that basis for ratihca-
ton
Reservationists also intimated that
their ranks eventually would include
Senator Lodge. chairman Of the For
eign Relations Committee, and Re-
publican leader of the Senate.
Twenty Republicans, it was said,
would be enough with the adminis-
tration Democrats, to make up the
two-thirds necessary for ratification.
The program, on which it is sought
to unite these elements, contemplates
reserativons to further protect the
Monroe Doctrine; to insure domestic
control over domestic questions; to
amplify the right of withdrawal, and
to fortify the power of Congress TO
decide questions of peace or war I'M
der Article 10.
The information that Democrats
were in receptive mood toward
such a proposal did not come from
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the
administration leadex, but from O.
source considered authoritative. The
Nebraska senator denied that he hal
taken part in any such negotiations
and said his advocacy of unreserved
ratification remained unchanged Mr..
Lodge also denied that he d as
sented to the proposed reservations.

HELENA ATTACKING
STATE COMMISSION
CITY SEEKS TO NULLIFY LAW
CREATING CORPORATION
BODY OF ARKANSAS.
WATER COMPANY IN ACTION
City Franchise Surrendered and
State Authority To Operate
SouJht-Case To Be
Tried Soon.

Little Rock Alleging that the
act of the legislature of 1919, creating
the Arkansas Corporation Commits
sion was not constitutionally'' based,
the city of Helena has filed suit in
Phillips County Chancery Court, tire
fleet of which would be toabolish the
commission, it is said. A copy of the
suit has been received by the Corpo-
alton Commission.
The complaint followed the applica-
ion Of the Helena Water Company,
fled with the commission, for an IN
determinate permit to operate the
Helena water system, after it had
surrenderd its franchise to the city.
The case is set for September IL at
Helena, and will be heard before
Chancellor A l., Hutchins of Au-
gusta
The application OF the Helena Wa
ter Company had been set for August
3, but on the day before it was
heard, the city of Helena filed it's
complaint The commission then an
nounced action upon the application
would be postponed until the city's
complaint had been heard in court.
T. e. Wood, member of the commits
sion, said that an effort will be made
to have the case set for an earlier
date, as many other APPLICATIONS are
pending before the commission, upon
which the Helena case would have a
direct bearing,
The contentious of the plaintiff are
that a short amendment which ap-
pears In the Senate Journal as hav-
ing been adopted in the upper branch
of the legislature does not appear in
the House journal, and that the date
upon which the Arkansas Corporation
Commission shall succeed the Arkan-
sas Railroad Commission, as passed
in the Senate, is not identical with
the date shown in the House Journal.

hington.-According to a report
just issued by Director Sam L. Rog-
ers of the bureau of the census, depart
ment of commerce, the q commercial
land telegraph systems in the United
States in 1917 operated 241,012 miles
of pole line, comprising 1,SS8,793 miles
of wire; sent 151, TOE, 238 messages, and
employed 1927 persons, to whom
were paid salaries and wages amount
ing to S36,392. 140.
This report, which is issued under
the title, "Telegraphs and Municipal
Electric Fire Alarm and Police Patrol
Signaling Systems" was prepared I'M
der the supervision of Eugene r. Hart
ley, chief statistician for manufacture
ers. and is the fourth of series of
ouinquenniaI reports on the telegraph
systems of the country.
The pole-line mileage in 1917 was
less by &c per cent than in 1912, but
was greater by six-tenths of 1 per
cent than in 1907. The wire mileage,
however, showed an increase of Al
per cent as compared with 1912 and
OF 1877 per cent over 1907.

rands, but the spades are those of
,griculturai designs.
The tendency is toward smaller
Mnds. Branding causes cattle to
use in weight, and the larger the brand
the greater the suffering of the cattle
and the greater the loss of weight, so
the old-time custom of great BRANDS,
covering the whole side of a COW, is
passing away Hides are more valu-
able today, also, and the big brands
injure the leather.
The easiest brands to read are those
made with the stamp iron. that is, an
iron forged into the figure or charac-
ter desired. Sometimes the cowboys
encounter a maverick far from head
quarters and In the exigency of the
occasion an iron rod is heated and
running brand is executed.

Flour Sack of Money.

st. Louis, Mo.-When a farm was
sold in Maries county, Missouri, re-
Gently the transaction took place in
the home of the farms buyers, named
Hoeller, and was strictly a cash trans
action. After the deal had been closed
every member of the family began
bringing IN silver coins from hooks and
crannies all over the house where it
had been secreted. The seller had to
take his money in a flour sack to the
bank, where it took the teller and
cashier two hours to count it. Most OF
the money had been earned by two
daughters taking In washing.

HAS
RAPID GROWTH

The increase in the number of mes
sages was much greater-45.7 per cent
during the last fve-year period and
53.l per cent during the ten years
from 1907 to 1917. The number of en-
ployees increased by 1872 per cent be-
tween 1912 and 1917 and by $40 per
cent during the period 1907-17 and the
corresponding percentages of increase
In their salaries and wages were 59.2
and 1912.
The number of telegraph offices in
1917 was 2S,865, a decrease of 60 per
cent as compared with 1912 and of
seven-tenths of 1 per cent as COM
pared with 1907 The total income
from telegraph traffic was $91, 312, 567,
an increase of 74.5 per cent over 1912
and Of 140.S per cent as compared with
1907; the income from all other
sources was $1,641 ,S03; the total ex-

go, an increase of 500 per cent over
1912 and of lila per cent over 1907,
and the net income was $12, 125, 400, an
increase of 1884 per cent as COM
pared with 1912 and of 1877 per cent
over 1907.
The par value of the outstanding
capital stock of the companies was
$1O6, 360,237, a decrease of 1T per
cent as compared with 1912, but an In
crease of per cent over 1907.
Printing Telegraph Comes In.
The foregoing figures relate only to
commercial telegraph companies, and
thus exclude the wire and pole line
wholly owned and operated by rail
roads, and also exclude the equipment
and telegraph business of the various
press associations which lease and op-
crate wires for dispensing news.
During the five-year period 1912-1917
the printing telegraph came into ex-
tended use by telegraph companies,
press associations and railroads. The
printing telegraph consists essentially
of a sending instrument equipped with
a keyboard similar to that of a type
writer, electrically connected with a
receiving instrument in such a manner
that the latter automatically repro
duces what is typewriter on the send
ing instrument. Without the printing
telegraph it would have been difficult
or impossible to handle the increased
telegraph business during the great
war.

The above Is a likeness of Speaker
c. P. Newton, who came a thousand
miles from the west to preside in
the recent historic extra session. Mr..
Newton says he is not "an eleventh
hour convert" to suffrage, but advo-
Gated the right of women to vote in
former sessions of the General ss-
sembly. He represented his native
county of Lonoke, three sessions in the
house, then was elected last year to
represent Pulaski county, being hon
ored with the speakership in the regn-
lar session last winter. Though Mr..
Newton is but 40, he has held some
responsible positions in the public scr-
vice, being for six years superintend-
ent of the Arkansas Confederate
Home. At 81 he was justice of the
peace in his native township; at %
he was in the legislature, at 81 head
of a state institution, and at 80
speaker of the house. He is the son
of Confederate cavalry officer Mr..
Newton will endeavor to be promoted
to state office next election, being a
candidate for secretary of state. He
is an experienced stump speaker, and
has a wide acquaintance. For II
years he was editor of country pa
per, and is a member Of the Arkan-

doubt! But you haven't felt any
temptation to possess such a night
gown-have you?
The fact is that conservative, well
dressed women, and dainty women,
are sticking very generally to white
or flesh colored nightgowns and
they avoid anything that suggests
the barbaric. Crepe de chine has
been adopted as the fabric par cx-
cellence for nightgowns by women
who can afford it. And really 1t is
an economy. for it wears infinitely
better than cotton fabrics and the
matter of laundering it is simpler.
On the left of today's cut you may
see a pink crepe de chine gown
trimmed with Valenciennes lace and
edging. The ribbons are of rose
pink. At the right there is an
equally attractive gown but here
there is a Georgette upper portion
while only the main part is of the
crepe. The trimming here is also OF
Valenciennes lace and insertion.
