New York. The newest national
flag on display in this Cit yof Many
Flags is that of the French protector
ate of Syria. 1t hangs in restaurant
down in Washington street - that
habitat of itinerant rug salesmen and
the swarthy venders of all sorts OF
handicraft from the Near East The
flag Is the Tricolor of France, and in
the white bar is an evergreen tree,
representing the cedar of Lebanon.
Jammed bus tops; frequented bride
paths; children in Central Park; dis
trait looks through Office windows,
over the roof tops, through the cleo
trio sign skeletons, and on to invis

discussions of the Palmer ber ruling
and what it means; MYRlADS of
quilted satin coats, tremendous i'm
petus in the sales used automobiles,
over-stayed lunch hours; and sublet
apartment ads; those are the high
lights of the early Spring in New
York. And they have just exactly the
same effect on the population gener-
ally as have crocusses and robins and
garden-p planting elsewhere. The signs
may not be a soul-filling, but the
causes and effects are.
Maybe this was one symptom of

BUSINESS IS IMPROVING
President and His Cabinet Receives
 More Encouraging Reports.

Washington, Sept. 9.--Informal re- ports which have come to the White House concerning the condition of in- dustries were somewhat more reas- surfing, it is said today. The situa tion, so far as wheat and cotton are concerned, has been somewhat im- proved by heavy shipments of wheat and advanced prices of cotton. The live stock industry. however, has not shown the hoped for impfowement and it has been necessary to make provisions for liberal financial as- sistance ts prevent a serious condi- ton.
 One point emphasized today was a statement made by Postmaster Gen. eral Will H. Hayes, that postal re- ceipts for August had shown the first increases in months and this was taken as hopeful sign.

Little River County Will
 Try for Ozark Trail

A large delegation of the Foreman business men were in Ashdown Satur- day night to confer with the Ashdown Chamber of Commerce in regard to sending a delegation to Shawnee, Ok lahoma, at the meeting of the people interested in the Ozark Trail. Owing to so short notice large delega- tion of the local Chamber of Con- merce was not present, the body being represented by the board of directors and officers.
 | The reason for sending delegation to Shawnee is to pull the route of the highway through Little River county. The exact route of the trail will be decided at this meeting. One route is to proceed from Shawnee to Hugo, thence to Paris, Texas, and on to Tex arkana, and thence on south through Texas and Louisiana. The other route is from Shawnee to Hugo and thence follow the Frisco to Idabel, Foreman, and Ashdown and then to Texarkana.
 r All this was thoroughly explained by D. A. Cook, of the Bank of Foreman, and J. o Livesay of Foreman. By securing this road for Little River county will not only mean that we will be on an established highway from the north to the south, but it will mean that Federal and State aid will be given, probably a sufficient amount to assure the completion of the road west of Foreman to the Ok 1ahoma line, and also to complete the road from Ogden to Index.
 The following delegates we're appont- ed by President Briant to go to Shaw nee, leaving Tuesday:
 'eoIa!d qoa pue uosI9pugS D H MT. Cook stated that probably five of six delegates would go from Fore man, but at that time he could not give the names.
 It is also thought that a delegation will go from Texarkana, but no defi- mite information could be given.
 The Foreman business men, some twenty-five or thirty, who were pres ent were highly interested in securing :he load for this county. They are GrmIy of the opinion that with only little effort that the route will be placed through little River county.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON TRADE
Violent Fluctuations Cover A Rouge of Twenty Dollars &
 Bale.

Kew Orleans, Sept 1.-The price of cotton moved over range Of nearly cents pound, or $20 bale, tbis week, fluctuations being violent in the extreme on several occasions and held in check only by the rules of the Cotton Exchange, limiting price changes to 200 points in any one session On Wednesday all mon!Ls bulged the full 200 points allowed. on the first sales on the opening call, something never before witnessed. At the highest levels of the week prices were 400 points over last weeks close and at the lowest they were unchanged, to 15 points up compared with the same close. The range carried the market over 3S5 to 400 points.
 October traded as high as 21,49 and May as high as 22.1O. On the close October stood at 20.25 and May at 19.45, the near months being much stronger than the distant in the last couple of sessions of the week. The close showed net gains of 1855 to 27t points on the list In the spot de partment middling gained 325 points in the net results, closing at 2O.2s against 1925 year ago.
 In the early sessions of the week the tendency of Liverpool to make sensational advances was the chie1 stimulating influence, but later or tha heavy rains in Texas and the appearance of hurricane in trop' ical waters were the main factors.
 On the closing sessions pronounced strength was displayed as the result of the disastrous storm in Texas and the increasing evidence that the hur' ricane was moving toward the Yuca- tan channel, from which locality Il would be the usual menace to the cotton region. The storm in Texas had .marked effect on values because it followed several days of local rains. the effect of which was held to be disastrous because of the great quantity of cotton open in the West
 A great deal of attention was paid during the week to the buying flurries in the cotton goods markets of the country and advances in prices there reacted favorably on values i'll the cotton market. The textile sltu' ation was brought into increased prominence because mill takings for the week of American cotton were 232.O bales, against 161,000 this week last year and 167,0OO two years ago. The incrdased exports of yarns from Great Britain were recelVeo very favorably. British board o' trade returna shdwed exports oi warns during August of 15,2O0'ool pounds, against 12,9Oo,O00 during tho same month last year Reports of 8 generally bette spot inquiry in the markets in 'the interior had not 8 little to do with the rise in contracts

TOO MUCH WATER AT
 HALE DELAYS TEST
Artesian Water Broke Through Pack CT and Forced Crew to Sus.
 pend Railing Sunday

The six inch casing was set in the Hale test we'll last week and bailing started Saturday afternoon and was resumed Sunday morning. It was then that the unexpected but not unusual happened. An artesian we'll came in, forcing it's way past the packer and pouring over the top of the casing. Further bailing was useless. DOCK O,Neal promptly connected up his pumps and proceeded to mud the wat CT out. The six inch, which had been set for the test, was pulled and the crew stood by until a decision was reached as to whether further effort to make a test at this depth would be made to whether drilling would be re- stunned until stronger showing was reached at still greater depth. It is understood that the test with a packer is a temporry expedient at best, and where; a strong flow is present a packer is never certain to hold 1t back. It is hardly thought that the packer as a means of shutting out the water will be tried again. It Is un- derstood that the management has un- der consideration two plans. one would be to continue drilling for bigger find further down, Then, II this does not show up after a satls- factory depth has been reached, to come back and bring in the gas well at the present depth. The other IS to set line of eight inch casing at the present depth in concrete. Thls is sure way, and the concrete would hold back any amount of water, that may be entering from above. 1t IS believed that this artesian flow of wat CT comes from depth Of $50 rect. Then when this test with the elght inch was completed and if good we'll was not produced the eight inch could be allowed to remain in the well ana drilling resumed Then, in the event that a good strata with good oil showing was found lower down the six inch could be set and the we'll brought in.
 Messrs. Boyle and Stout, who nave recently bought large interest in the well and leases, left the city Tor Dal- las Monday night. The crew is walt ing word from them before resumlng operations. It is believed that they are strongly considering the test With $ inch casing, which could be easily ana quickly procured and real test maoe. This will be more expensive, but 1t IS the only sure way under conditions and the showings, particularly that or gas. seem to justify the expense. Mr. Roberts is still in the city and Will await word from his parners. Drliler O'Neal has made a good hole and III record time. He is accustomed to dealing with immergencies and may be safely relied on to overcome any obstacles and handle the well safely
