them for withdrawal of their claim This was refused, it is alleged, despite the continued and adverse possession of the land by the petitioners. The court is asked to grant James A Goodwin a minors right to redeem homestead. Title to the property was vested in the defendants under a de- cree of chancery court in 1911.
 Herman Hachmeister as trustee and G. M. Foreman as beneficiary have filed suit in chancery to collect ap- proximately $500 with interest due on alleged unpaid notes executed by D A., John and Jennie Courtney on Oc- tober 31, 1912, which were covered by a mortgage given on certain 60 acres owned by the defendants.
 Petition for partition of lands own ed by Henry Banks and willed upon his death to Clara and Will Banks has been filed by Adalinna Linkton and Clara Banks against Charles and Mary Hopkins. The complainantS aver that Hopkins bought the interest of Will Banks, and that partition by the court is desirable.

While the 1919 yield was consider ably under the average, the money value of the crop was far in excess of that of any previous year. It is d fiji cult to estimate the average price of a bale of cotton for the past season as there were wide fluctuations in prices and unusual variation in grades Highest prices, however, prevailed during the period of heaviest ginning and marketing. In round figures aF estimate of $200 would probably not be far from the average sale price of a bale and the seed hero during the past season. On this basis the total value Of the crop would be over $3 GOO 900. The big 1914 crop of 23, O68 bales was sold for less than one third that amount.
 Exactly contrary to the situation in 1918, the western part of Arkansas generally showed increases and the eastern part decreases in 1919 from the 1918 ginnngs As the big crops are raised in eastern counties, the to- tai yield in the state decreased from 957.118 bales in 1918 to 865, 566 bales in 1919. Conway county ginnod 19,dlo bales last year, compared with 18.389 in 1918, and Pope Johnson, Franklin, Crawford, Sebastian, Logan, Perry 1 CT burne, Van Buren and White coun- ties all showed increases. In practi- cally all eastern counties there were decreases, Jefferson and Cr'ttenden showing losses of more than 10000 bales each. Mississippi county, which continues to lead the state in produc- ton, dropped from 64720 bales in 1918 1 to 60.692 bales in 1919.
 Five counties in northwest Arkan- sas, Benton, Washinton, Madison, Car roll, and Newton, either produce no cotton or so small an amount that the ginnings are not reported separately from them. They are carried as "all other counties" in the report and ginned total of 295 bales from the 1919 crop. The smallest ginninPs from county reported separately
 were from Searcy county, 1,143 bales

I6.553 BALES 1919 CROP OF FAULKNER 85 PER CENT OF AVERAGE Cotton Yield, However. Broke All Previous Records in Value, Going
 Over Three Millions.

According to official figures received today by the Log Cabin Democrat from the United States census bureau, 16,553 bales of cotton were ginned in Faulkner county from the crop of 1919. While this is considerably in excess of indications last fall, 1t was, with two exceptions, the smallest yield in this county snce 1901. The crop of the preceding year, 1918, was II 342 bales. the smallest since 1901, when the great drouth cut the yield to 13 500 bales. The one other year of the past two decades when the crop was smaller than of 1919 was that of 1909, when the ginnings totaled 14,639 bales.
 During the 10 years of 1909 to 1918, inclusive, a total of 194, ,697 bales of cotton were ginned in tn S county, an average per year of 19,470 bales. The 1919 crop was therefore 85 per cent of the average of the 10 preceding years. Ginnings as reported for this county by the census bureau for 10 preceding years have been as follows:

Notice Farmers

I have One Hundred Bushels of Pure North Carolina Rowden Cotton Seed at $3.75 per bushel. This is one year each and every farmer ought to test his planting seed. Ask your coun- ty demonstrator about planrng our own native seed, especially those that were picked after they had germnat- ed. You will find those seed will not come up. It is by far better you sell those seed, buy and plant seed you know will give you a perfect stand. A good stand of good quality cotton with little work is the secret of men who raise cotton always having dol lars in their pocket and big bank ac- counts.

"Aphrodite" is q romance of ancient
Egypt. depicting the love Of Demetrios,
sculptor Of Alexandra, for Chrysis, n
famous Galilean courtesan. Demetrios
has modelled q statute of Aphrodite, God
dess Of Love. OF such surprising beauty
THAT he adores the marble with a hope
Hess and pure love in which no thought
Of worldly passion ever enters. He. fl
Sturn, is loved by Berenike, Queen Of
Egypt, but remains cold and impressive
to all her advances until suddenly tn
spark of real love is awakened in him
by Chyrsis, who, mistrusting him. de-
mands three crimes as proof of love.
First, the theft Of the Rhodopis mir
sror. which once belonged to Sapho, now
sowned by Bacchys; second, the ivory
comb Of Queen NitOcris, three thousand
years old, worn by Touni, the High
sPriestess, the theft of which requires her
anl-der; and third, the sacrilege OF the
Temple Of Aphodite by stealing the seven
strings of sacred pearls which decorate
his own statue Of the Goddess. Demet
rios commits the three crimes: but in
dream the statue reveals herself in ais
i her purity to reawaken his lost ideals
He repulses Chyrsis who. compelled to

made for the receivers. OMcials
stated that the shut down might not
last fortnight. and that there Ia

next Monday on his second visit. and
viii probably be accompanied by
