 HITS DOWN GRADE
(By United Press)

St. Louis, Aug. 27-Prices on es- sential commodities showed down. ward trend, according to the bi-month- ly report of the eight federal reserve districts. Business in all sections has been more stable and more definite and significant steps have been taken toward re-adjustment than has been observed up to this time, the condensed report says. Values have taken on a much broader classification and have declined. This includes many inn portant commodities which for long period remained unshaken at abnorm- al levels.
 It is conceded, the report declares, that all crops will be enormous this fall and ample for supplying every thing needed for home consumption with liberal margin for export.

GOV. SAYS HOUSLEY
 MUST SERVE TERM

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-Dr. A. II. Housley of Hot Springs must serve his sentence of one year on a charge of having received stolen property. A stay of execution originally granted by the governor will expire Septem- Der 4. On August 23 the governor granted an additional stay of 30 days to expire October to enable him to make a more thorough investigation of the case. The Little Rock Motor Club filed strong remonstrance with the governor protesting against fur ther interference with the sentence of the court. Governor Brough has mo- tified the attorney for Dr. Housley that he will not take any further ac- tlon in the case and that upon the ex- piration of the stay, recently granted, the accused must begin the service of his sentence in the state penitentiary.

REAPPORT|ONMFNT
 PLAN 10 COME UP

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-One of the
 important duties of the general as sembly which will convene next Jan
 uary is the disappointment of the
 state for senatorial, judicial and con- gresslonal districts. The population ot the state and the various counties and local subdivisions will soon be made. It will then become necessary las has been done following each decen- nlal census, to re-apportion the coun-
 ties so that there may be the most equitable distribution of offices among the population. There are 34 senator ial districts, Is judicial districts and seven congressional districts.
 It is probable that one of the com mittees which will be appointed at the converting of the legislature for each house will be a committee on re- pportionment. It shall be the duty of this committee to make calculations, showing the population of the various districts to the end that any qualities may be remidied. There is always more or less of a contest over this matter due to local conditions and the desire of county to be trans ferred to some other district or to re- main as it was.
 Another phase of the question will be that of apportioning the 100 mem- bers of the lower house provided by the constitution among the counties so that an equality of representation may be maintained Each county must have at least one representative which leaves ? 5 to be distributed among the more populous of the 75 counties. It IS already known that some of the larger counties will make hard fight to secure more than one repre- sentative which they now have If they should win, some other county must lose.

BENEDICT STARTS
 FARMERS LEAGUE

At a meeting of the farmers of Ben
 edict township held last night at Providence, an association to be known as the Cotton Farmers Asso- citation was organized with a charter membership of over 60 farmers. Prank
 Raney was elected chairman, and Jim Adams, secretary.
 The purpose of the association, as stated at the meeting, is to assist the farmer in getting in closer touch with the consumer, and also for getting the maximum price for products. About 70 farmers were in attendance.
 Following the organization, general topics were discussed for some time Due to typographical error in news paper accounts of the meeting of the state ginners' association at Little Rock, the price as set by the associa- ton for ginning clean, white short staple cotton this year would be 30 and 50 cents. During the discussion this matter was brought up, and 0. $. Russ. representing the Conway Cotton Oil < Gin Company, made a short talk in which he explained the error. The price of ginning. he said, as agreed upon, would be 40 cents per hundred for clean, white short staple cotton.

Little Rock, Aug. 27-The next legislature will be asked to establish a State Library Commission. The duty of this commission will be to lend books all over the state, either to in dividuals or as collections for travel ing libraries.

The state federation of wo- mems clubs has about 5000 volumes which it has been using as travelling li- braries, and it is understood that these will be donated if the proposed commission is established.
