WE DROP A GAME
DeQueen Aggregation Wins Friday, by
 Close Score of and 5,

Ashdown dropped a game Friday af- ternoon to DeQueen, the score being 3 and 5 It was close game, and at times looked like it may be safely add ed to the string of victories, but Orri- son, who pitched for the locals, weak ened in one of the late innings and by the help of some poor backing allowed a two run lead by the visitors Mob ley went in the box in the ninth and held the visitors from further Ccoring, but the locals failed to connect with the smoke dealt out by the opposing boXman It was the Cobb family that broke into the hitting along about the seventh that caused our three runs to be over. The DeQueen pitcher had plenty of stuff, but had bad control, otherwise he should have had a shut out to his credit It was voted good game by the fans.

The ploWlng for the most part is well in hand ana the majority of the crops have been gotten in a growing condition. While the cotton is generally small there are some good stands and some not so good. and the color indicates that 1t IS beginning to take on life and grow. Cotton chopping is becoming general Much of it has much grass in the drill. but the end of the week with continued sunshine will see this advanced great ly. It is too early to make predictions further on this crop, as the next two months must tell the story. The boil weevil has made his appearance as was expected. That busy tribe is here every year and gives us his usual scare though when the hot days come he is not able to keep busy enough to get all the cotton there is.
 Old corn is looking better, but will never again be what it might have been. It looks spotted and the good spots are the smaller. Young corn planted since the rain is up and look ing fine Much young corn has been planted on the rivers and quite bit on the uplands. Many farmers are already sowing sorghum for hay as we'll as peas. and many are preparing to plant peanuts, Most of the farm CTS are hoping for week or ten days more sunshine,

CAR PRICES IN
ENGLAND DROP

LONDON, Oct. 3.-When the new
motor vehicle tax comes into effect
next year the American car will be
hit more than the British car Will.
This is one of the reasons given for
the recent drop in prices of the
cheaper American cars in this coun-
try.
According to a report issued by
the American Chamber of Commerce
in London this decrease is merely
the foreshadowing of general re-
duction in the prices of all American
cars here.
In the case of the Ford car the
reduction varies from $125 for or
binary touring cars to $3.50 for one
ton standard trucks.
At the present time British manu-
facturers are facing formidable com
petition from American, French and
Italian firms. 1t is stated that Amer
lea has an export programme for
next year of one million cars and
in addition, has safeg1arded herself
against excessive importations by af-
fixing an import duty of As per
cent France and Italy have also
guarded their home markets by pfac-
ing prohibition of imports.
Another serious factor is the re-
striction on output in Britain caused
by the forty-four-hour week and the
opposition to overtime. The output
of the American workman is almost
double that of the British trade

CANADIAN WHEAT
YIELD SPLENDID

SBy International, News Servtce.>
CALGARY, Alta, Oct. s.7The to-
tai wheat yield Of Western Canada's
prairie provinces, Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, will be $780,
451 ,0O@ bushels, according to the Of
fetal estimate Of the agricultural de-
partment of the Canadian Pacific
Railway. The estimate is based on re-
ports of agents of the department
who completed an inspection OF
crops throughout the West at the
beginning of harvest
The yield and acreage of the three
provinces are given in this way: Al
berta 10 bushels per acre with an
area in wheat of 3,644,0O0 acres;
Saskatchewan 14.5 bushels to the
acre with 9,440;000 acres; Manitoba
! 16.5 bushels per acre with 2.6S7,00C
acres. This makes the total wheat
acreage in the three provinces 49,
III 900 acres and the yield per acre
1859 bushels. The total estimated
| yield is 10, oeo,so0 bushels more
than last year.
The estimate of 10 bushels PEI

conservative. Some authorities be
