resting at Fort Wadsworth. Staten

home to Petrograd, having been

Early in 1919 the children were
sent by the Soviet government to
one of the numerous children's colo

country. Food being short in Pet
rograd the children were shipped to
Siberia. Most of their fathers were
soldiers in the Bolshevist army.

the people are crying for more houses
It would be we'll if plan could be

more business houses going up every

SOME DAMAGE TO COTTON
Reporter Says Cotton Has
Been Slightly Damaged.
(By Chas. F. Marvin) !.

(By Chas. F. Marvin.
Little Rock, Oct. 22.-(SpeciaD =
Light to moderate rainfall was re-
ported over the State except in some
western localities where heavy rains
occurred. Temperatures were unus-
ually high during the week, the mean
being 5 degrees to 8 degrees above
normal. There was considerable
cloudiness, but the humidity was rath-
er low most of the time.
Some damage occurred to cotton in
the localities where the heavy rains
occurred, but elsewhere the weather
was very favorable for cotton. Cotton
is maturing and opening rapidly, the
crop being practically opened in cenA
trail and southern portions and nearly
matured in the northern. Frost would
do some damage in the extreme north
ern portion, but none elsewhere none
reporting over one-fourth of the crop
subject to damage thereby. Picking
and ginning continue to progress rap
idly, but marketing slowly.
The weather was very favorable for
gathering corn, potatoes, sweet pota-
toes, peanuts and apples, and these
crops are being taken care of as rapid
ly as possible. Rice is also being car
ed for rapidly under very favorable
condition. Little wheat is being sown.

We are giving quite little space
this week on the cotton holding pro-
position. Some writer's think the thing
to do is to hold cotton and market 1t
slowly, while some others may differ.
We are not in a proposition to see
through the thing and have no ad-
wise to offer. Use your own Judgment.
but get all you can for your cotton.
You are the man that spent most of
the year making the cotton, and it
has cost you lot of time and money
to do it. Think the proposition over
carefully, and then do what you think
is the right thing to do about it.
