 Much Better Outlook

Little Rock, June 24-(SpeciaD = Moderate rainfall was reported in nearly all portions of the state, with heavy rains at few places Tenn peratures, were high the first few days, low the remainder of the week, the mean being degrees below nor mal. The temperature was too low for cotton, but the rainfall was very beneficial for all crops, putting the soil in excellent condition. Cultiva- tion was delayed slightly, but the ef- feet on crops more than made up for the loss of cultivation.
 Cotton made very good progress and improvement was reported in most portions, but the crop is still grassy in places, especially in southeastern and southwestern portions. Plants are rather small but of good color and growing rapidly. Nearly all has been cultivated and most of 1t is clean. The contition is reportet as poor in the southeast and southwest, but fairly good to very good in most other por- tions.
 Corn made very good to excellent progress, much early corn being laid by. Some are beginning to plant late corn. The weather was favorable for wheat and oat harvest except on two days, this work being completed in some localities. Rice sowing is com pleted in nearly all localities and the crop is growing nicely. Meadows, pastures, sweet potatoes and truck are excellent White potatoes are being dug, the yield being fair to good.

 FOR HIGH LIVING COST

New York, May 19.---An incomplete
 list of direct losses due to strikes in

 at nearly s725. 900. and to industry
 at more than one and one-quarter bill
 lions of dollars, Francis H. SiSson
 vice president of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, told the sil- yer jubilee convention of the Ma
 tional Association of Manufacturers
 here today. The chief danger in the
 present situation, MT. Sisson said, is that the desiraibihty of low prices as
 an end in itself may be so exagger- ated as to lead to the attempt to force lprices down through harmful meas 1ires for the control of credit.
 Taking as hds text America, walk @ up---and for Gods sake, hurry!'' the banker spoke at length on industrial
 unrest, analysing it's effect on the country's economic condition, and
 blaming strike levers for high living costs and increased rents. MT. Sisson
 urged the conservation of our natural resources as a means of maintaining our economic position in the world.
 We have heard much about rent profiteering,' MT. Sisson said, ''but organized labor either does not realize 1 or closes its eyes to the fact that every time men employed in the

MACHINISTS
 MAY STRIKE

Waterbury, Conn.,, May 19-A strike of the machinists in local fac-
 tories will probably be called tomor-
 row morning unless manufacturers agree to recognize the demands of the machinists' union presented one week ago. Shop committees that ap- preached factory officials this morn ing were turned away without a
