INSURANCE COMPANIES
 WILL REDUCE RATES

Little Rock, July 1-Insurance companies announce that reductions in fire insurance rates are being made that will more than exceed the 6.21 per cent ordered by the state insur- ance commissioner. The companies are contesting th.s reduction on the ground that the basis of calculation is incorrect and that it would estab- Ash dangerous precedent for other states. Reductions have been made in special classes. including automobiles and fire proof buildings, and other reductions are promised IL is con- tended by the companies that the elimi- nation of the surcharge of 10 Der cent, due to the war. made last fall reduced the net earnings of the com panles to a point where they disap- peared altogether, and that as mat ter of fact there was an actual loss instead of an increase.

WHERE ARKANSAS
 MONEY IS GOING

Little Rock, July 1.-Arkansas dur ing ,he past 12 months has imported S270oo,0o7, worth of commercial feed stuffs. This tremendous total does not include the millions sent out of the state for hay, corn. and cats. It includes only the prepared feeds and chops.
 Every pound of this feed should have been grown in Arkansas said Commissioner Ferguson, not only should We grow our own feed. but Ar kansas should grow a surplus for ex- port to other states It is my opin- ion that We are spending $50. .000 .OOO "a year for feeds stuffs that should be grown by our own farmers. It lis shame such conditions exist and our farmers will not prosper as they should until they realize that they must raise other crops than cotton. '

- -----------~--- MORE NITRATE AVAILABLE.

Little Rock, July 1.-The release of large quantities of nitrate of soda, which had been diverted wholly to military purposes during the war, has aided materially the farmers of the state. It has brought about a reduc- tlon of p per cent or more in the price of commercial fertilizers and has greatly increased the output As result of the campaigns that have been made in the state by agricultur- al agencies, there has been marked increase in the demand for soil building material. Commissioner Ferguson es- inmates that the fertilizer sales dur Ing the past 12 months have been double what they were for the pre- ceding year.

However, the only way to lower

However, the only way to lower prices is to cut consumption.
 Stock salesmen for enterprises of more or less uncertain value have taken quite an amount of money out of this country. Why people can't see that stock that is so awfully good can't be sold in the home town of such enterprises is a mystery. People m this county, who are almost afraid to put their money in local banks, with whose officers and directors they are personally acquainted, have turned their money over to people they never saw or heard of before with blind faith in getting rich ac- cidentally. It never happens.
 When we sell this cotton crop, things will be easy again, but We plead with our people to save their money and raise their living. Become independent within the next few years. This country will be prosper ous unless all signs fail. The one real trouble to fear is labor troubles in the world, tying up railroads and factories that use our products What hurts us most, however, and is to our everlasting shame is the FEED question. We are not in favor of a squads right" to perfection in this matter, but we do know that We can do better. Let's do it,
 Yours very truly,
 Frank Paris,

SEES IMPROVEMENT IN BANK FINANCES

Improvement in the banking and general financial situation is noted in the following encouraging letter which is beig mailed out to it's GUS toners by the Farmers State Bank of this city:
 Conway, Ark, July 1, 1920. To Our Customers:
 The financial situation has cleared lp in New York, which is the nerve center of money in the world, and we feel that our friends would be glad p know it. The local banks are talk ing care of all necessary demands, or intend to, We are thankful to the people for the way they have looked at things. We are sure that every one knows that there had to be a slowing up sooner or later, and that this is all for the best
 The present hold up of credits was caused by several factors. The first cause was a national atfair-the tie up of the railroads which caused mil lions of dollars worth of goods to be tied up in terminals which, if deliver ed, would have been turned into mon ey. Another cause, and the one thing most affect ct.ng the south is EXTRAN- AGANCE; the fact that people are spending more than they are making. Credit being very easy, the banks have in the past made it too easy to borrow money and a great number of people have been buying things on borrowed money which they should have arised at home. We realize, of course, that prices have been h gh and that it has taken lots of money.

LIGHTNING HITS
 TWICE IN STORM
STUNS SEVERAL PEOPLE
Horse Killed on Joe P. Pierce Place and Two People Stunned-Rain-
 fall 1.62 Inches.

Another heavy fall of rain, reach ing l.62 inches on the official register here, accompanied by heavy lightning, did considerable damage here early fast night. The most of the damage seems to have been in the southeast quarter of the city and further south, reports today showing that two peo- pie, James Tillar Thompson and Mrs. Arthur Keathley, were slightly burn ed by lighting, and others possibly more or less stunned when heavy bolt struck in that vicinity. One bolt struck on the Frank E. Robins farm just south of the city limits, and kill ed outright horse belonging to Arlie l. Pierce, who with his father, Joe ?. Pierce, is cultivating the land there.
 The heavy ram and lightning set in about 6:30 o'clock and was then inter mittent through the night, reaching a total of l.62 inches on the government register kept by Prof E. E. Cordrey. It's fall, although 1.32 inches less than the dOwnpour two weeks ago, brought creeks out of their banks, and flooded several of the streets of Conway Palarm creek this morning, 1t was said, had spread out over the low lands near 1t and possibly had done some damage to crops and livestock. Another half-inch of rainfall would have vastly increased the damage in that section, it was said, as the waters lacked only few inches gong over in places.
 Lightning which killed the horse be- longing to Mr. Pierce broke his hide in several places and knocked a shoe off one of his front feet. The horse fell to the ground as soon as struck and never moved. This animal was known to many people of Conway as "Old Dan," a horse which formerly belonged to C. D. Wilkins. He was a pet and had been trained to be some thing of a trick horse. MT. Pierce said today his family was grieving his less almost as much as that of a member.
 In the Harkrider addition here, a bolt of lightning struck early in the night. James Tillar Thompson and Mrs Arthur keathley, who were milking cows within short distance of where it hit, were knocked down and burn ed Thompson, it was said, had his hair badly singed. He is a student at Hendrix College. The bolt struck a ] tree, which it completely demolished
 A bit of pathos which the storm brought out is in the story of a young lady residing in the Harkrider addition, who was ironing out the seams of new frock when the light ming struck. She was partially stun ned, it was said, when the bolt hit and was dazed for several minutes afterwards. When she came to, so the story goes, she found the iron, left standing on the dress, had burned through and had ruined it almost be- yond repair.
