VALLEY RANCHER'S SON NOW IS MAYOR
 IF ARKANSAS CITY

word has been received here of the erection of Gilbert Yaeser to the office or mayor in the city of Helena, Arkap- sas.
 Gilbert Yaeger was reared in the Salt River valley. He is the son of Henry Y. Yaeger, one of the big factors in the early agricultural and industrial development of the valley Henry c. Aaeger, although S2 years old, is now one of the largest and better known cotton growers in ToHeson. He has hopes that his son Gilbert will some day return to the Salt River valley and engage in farming on an extensive scale, for during past years Gilbert Aaeger has been constantly increasing his holdings in this field and has al ways felt that he would follow the foot steps of his father anu eventually be salt River valley rancher.
 He has two daughters and one son. all college graduates. The son during the past year graduated from the Mis- sissippi Agricultural college.
 g The Helena World in commenting on the recent election of MT. Yaeger to mayor, among other things said:
 Being a banker of long standing, it is probable that MT. Yaeger will take active personal interest in the financial affairs of Helena. If so, and he suc- ceeds in redeeming the city's credit, lueil VIII De a leather In ms cap lnueeO- There are also the matters of drainage and rejuvenated streets, neglected for these many months. Here, we imagine, the new mayor will find ample oppor- tunity for bringing his constructive abilities into play; and, as in all other instances, he should have the solid backing of the people in every effort put forth to improve the streets and perfect the drainage system This is task which has taxed the abilities of succeeding mayors for forty years past, and nobody should expect MT. Yaeger to accomplish in a few weeks what no mayor has been able to accomplish satisfactorily in two score years.
 Tt should be remembered that pub lie administrative officials can not reach out and take money from the air. and that before a municipal execu- tive can accomplish needful improve ments he must have funds with which to pay for them. All such funds must be provided by the taxpayers, and the natural duty of the municipal head is to take what money he may find pos sfble. When he has done all any body can reasonably expect of him, and In order to do it he must have tEe hearty support of the people,"

John Hyder

We're prepared to take care of all the old straw hats in Phoenix and from the way everybody is talking it looks like we will do it. Everybody I meet on the street assures me that they'll be there with their straw and the enthusiasm and interest which this novel idea has aroused is very pleasing. The stunt is talk ing the men of Phoenix almost by storm and I hope we save the male population of the city about two thousand bucks in the two days.
 This is a good opportunity for the men to accomplish several things. Everybody can save a dollar and everybody can take this opportunity to look over the wonderful line of hats and hab- erdashery which we now have in stock The public is already familiar with my quality mer- chandise and everybody knows that when John Hyder announces a sale, that TT IS A REAL SALE, when he announces a discount. HE GIVES A DIS COUNT and when he says that he will give $1 for old straw hats he means what he says.
 We are not running this stunt with the idea of becoming rich off of the sale Of hats. It can't be done, because when you knock S1 off the price of a hat you murder the profit. This is an opportunity for us to let the men of Phoenix know that we have a line of hats which is one of the finest in the state. We expect this discount to bring a number of men to our store who have never before favored us by a visit Every time Hyder's store runs something of this character a great number of new friends are made and the faith of our regular customers is strengthened.
 Stetson. Mallory and Italian Borsolino hats are in my store for your selection. The straw hat season is over, September 18th is the day 70 bedeck your self in a new fall hat and Hyder Bros. store offers q wonderful line at a saving of St per hat.

40 PER CENT INTEREST
 DUE EACH YEAR ON
 NOTE, 4,00O YEARS OLD

PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 14- An unpaid note for four shekles in silver bearing forty per cent annual interest for nearly four thousand years recent ly was found among the clay tablets at the university of Pennsylvania mu- scum by Dr. Leon Legrain. The note was given by man named Bur-Mama to II Sinnutum in October, 1862. B. C., the "year in which King Sim-Sin oc- cupied the town of Dur-Damigilisha." !"
 There were four witness to the note. Instead of signatures the wit nesses placed their seals on the docu- ment and were not liable for payment unless it was shown they knew the character of Bur- Mama was bad when they swore it was good.
 Although comparisons are difficult, Dr. ,Legrain said, shekel of silver at the time the note was made was equal to about. $10O at the present time.
