cumulative effect of a lack of buying. The situation in Europe is also a vital factor and the problem of readjustment is seriously complicated by financial conditions abroad. With an unsettled bill amounting to over $S,000,000,000 for commercial credits, the question of our financing of European business be- comes more and more difficult of treatment

 the European situation is an important factor. Germany and several of the other central European countries which were formerly large consumers of our raw cotton, are for the moment almost eliminated by reason of unfa- vorable exchanges and other conditions The cancellation of a large amount oi 1 Japanese orders has further compli- cated the situation.

 LIN LAND RICH
 IN CHEMICALS
Sodium Sulphate Deposits Near Camp Verde Ac- quired By Wester n Chemicals, Inc.-Output Contracted For

Last summer there was a story printed in The Republican of the leas- Ing Of several hundred acres of state lands in the vicinity of Camp Verde, known to be rich in deposits of sodium sulphate. The lessees were reported to be Nevada men already heavily en- gagged fin that industry in that state. It is now made known, that the land was acquired by tho Western Chemicals, Inc, which already owned several hun dred acres lowering a large area of the deposits. This is said to be the largest deposit in the world, approached only by those of Siberia and Germany.
 The Western Chemicals Inc, a five million dollar corporation, was organ ized for the purpose of mining, refining and marketing heavy chemicals and other natural products of the west. A plant costing S2O0.000 is nearing com pletion on their large deposit of potash, alumni and sulphur near Tonopah, Nev. The company has recently taken over an immense deposit of sodium sulphate or natural salt-cake known technically as thernadite. locally known as Soda mountain, situated 1 i5 miles south of Camp Verde. This deposit has long been known of and the pioneers of Ari- zona mined and distributed it on the ranges for the salting of cattle for a number of years, until the United States government called their atten . ton to the fact that the thenardite which closely resembles stock salt, was in place of sodium chloride which is common salt, was in reality sodium Hulphate, over 99 per cent pure govern 1, ment analysis.
 ! Aside from being the only known z. deposit in commercial quantities, this ' has the distinction of being purer and better salt cake than the manufactured product, and on account of the stu pendous exposed tonnage, is capable oi supplying the worlds shortage. The company has been developing this de- posit by shafts and tunnel work for the past several months and the company'S engineers Duncan and Lindley of Sar Francisco, estimate that the developed and exposed material which is capable Of supplying the future markets of tho world with a better and higher grade salt cake than any manufacturer is ca pablo of producing to analytical tests that have been made by Harrison Beauchamp and Woodward of Sar Francisco, Abbot Hanks, also the Hil Chemical company of Los Angeles.

BUSINESS STRESS IS
 DISCUSSED HERE
 BY BOSTON BANKER

American business is now undergo ing the process of sweating off excess weight and finds the sensation far less agreeable than those which accom- panied the accumulation of it, lis the way the present business situation is summarized by George H. s. Soule, an officer of the Nati al Shawmut bank of Boston, who was here recently on a business trip.
 Business depression, and the ten dency toward curtailment," said MT Soule, ''are not wholly due, as some people appear to think, to methods em- ployed in bringing about a contraction of credit. Price declines are naturally becoming sharper as they reflect the

of a great reduction in cost of produc- ton.
 q sincerely believe, however, that the southern cotton grower may look for ward to a time in the near future when lower prices on his purchases will en- able him to balance his cost of produc- tion in such a way as to show a satis- factory profit.
 Viewing the entire business situa- ! tion broadly it does not, in my opinion warrant pronouncedly pessimistic in 1 depreciation and I believe that the end of the next six months will see gu inn provement. On the whole it may .: worth while that the extravaganza anC rather forced buying, which marked thu last year and a half, should be followed by return of more sane and in thu
 end more substantial condition of bus
 iness.'

NINTH WARD CIVIC LEAGUE URGING IMPORTANT IM- PROMINENT FOR THE RESI-

The Ninth Ward Civic League, re- presenting residents of Pulaski making an effort to have natural gas Heights near Forest park, who are piped from the North gate of Hill crest, where the line now stops, to the Pulaski Heighs public school, a distance of 2,100 feet, met in the offices of Mayor Brickhouse.
 The Little Rock Gas and Fuel Com pany was requested to make. the ex- tension, but because 1t is moi re- quired to make such extensions by its franchise. It was decided at the meeting to ask the property owners along the proposed line to contribute to the laying of the gas main. On account of the absence from the city of several property owners 1t was decided to have City Engineer James Rice make an estimate of the cost to each property owner and to take the matter up with each one indiyid- ually.
 A rough estimate of the cost by W. B. Brooks, attorney representing the property owners, is s, 500. It is be- lieved that after this vacant terri

The Jackson Pilot says: I'VE have been
informed that last week the business men Of
Window and the farmers in that community
had picnic together The stores were closed
and work was suspended In spite of the fact
that the weather was not altogether favor
able, a large crowd turned out. Meetings
of this nature between the farmer and the
business man should be held oftener. They
call for cooperation and invoke a community
spirit that not only tends toward a pleasant
atmosphere in which to live, but installs a
mutual confidence in the parties concerned.
Although at times there seems to be some
sort of barrier between the farmer and the
business man, none should exist. They should
bear in mind in all of their undertakings that
they are dependent upon one another That
is the get together spirit which should pre-
vail in every community.

While Bryan and Lodge have form
ed a partnership to handcuff the Lea
que of Nations, our kind friend, the
devil, is suggesting to inventors many
new and pleasing devices for enhanc-
ing murderous efficiency. Army Of
ficials are just now secretly testing a
new kind of machine gun which can
discharge 1000 shots a minute into
human bodies, as against 500 or 500 by
the present type. That is certainly a
great Improvement in the art OF whole
sale slaughter. An additional lovely
superiority in this gun is that it uses
no explosive and is operated by CEN
|trifugal force. 1t can thus do its dead
ly work silently and with little fear
of being located and put out of bust
ness. In this way it united two adj
mirable features. 1t is as devastating
as a hurricane, and as stealthy as a
snake.
This, it may be assumed, is only
one of the splendid inventions which
the genius of war is preparing for
use. We already have up our sleeves

we had just perfected at the close Of
