Bad for Weevil.

Little Rock, July 29.-The present excessively hot weather is said by eX- perts to be killing out the boil weevll in most localities of the state. Ex- perts report that the weevil situation as whole,is not so bad as it has been in some years previous, but that in certain localities it has proven quite destructive and the infestation is re- ported to have been spread to ponts where the weevil has not been known before. Chief Inspector Becker Of the State Plant Board this week received weevils from a field near Paragould, Green county. They were in the large stage, proving that they had been bred there and had not migrated. Weevil has also been reported from points in Mississippi oncultaotuyhghiu,,-----,toS Mississippi county although at no place has it been destructive.

ARKANSAS COTTON s0.2
Percentage Is Higher Than That .n
 Any Other State.

| Little Rock, July 30.-That the cot ton year of 1921-22 will mean more to Arkansas than any other cotton growing state seems to be the nation al consensus of opinion, according to local cotton men.
 The season will close Monday, July IS1. A national crop estimate few days ago placed the Arkansas condi- tion at SOP per cent, considerably higher than that of any other state Local cotton men do not believe the percentage will run this high, but it is generally conceded that this state has suffered much less from bad wea- ther and insect pests than the other cotton states.
 l. The normal cotton demand is esti- mated at 12,OOO,OOO. It is estimated that the 1921-22 crop will not exceed
 
 Il 500, ,0O0, in which case the price will be considerably higher. The car ry-over this year is said to be the smallest since 1915. Estimates are that on August 1 there will be avail able in Arkansas not more than l. 900 ,OOO marketable bales, and that the supply in the hands of the consumers will be less than 100000 bales. Local cotton men say that the fig ures at present, although based on as accurate reports as can be obtained, are mere guesses, and that the true state of the crop cannot be ascertain ed until late in August.

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
 KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder bothers, drink lots of water
 and eat less meat

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their nor nal activity. The function of the kid neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kid nevs active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in d glass of water before breakfast each morning for few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for genera. tions to clean and stimulate clogge3 kid. neys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irri- tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in. jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which. everyone should take now and then to keep their kid, neys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wondsr what became e your kidney trouble and backache. -

BUSINESS REVIVAL
 STILL IN PROGRESS
Signs Are Favorable In Spite Of the Rail and Mine Strike
 Situation.

New York, July 3O.-Notwithstand ] ing the more or less confused situa- Ition caused by the labor trouble in | the coal and railway industries, the fact which appears to stand forth un- mlstakably is that the business re- | yival which got under way last spring is continuing. Taken by them selves and apart from the two unset | tied strikes, all of the signs of in creasing financial and industrial ac- tivity have continued to point in the same direction. The latest monthly l figures of the country's iron produc- tion were the largest of any month since 1920, and exceeded even last March by 20 per cent The latest monthly report On steel production showed an increase of 160 per cent over the same month of 1921. Orders on the United States Steel Corpora tion's books at the beginning of July overtopped those reported at the be- SlulllHS LII tHe ySdI py 1,ooi ,oVo IOHA, ] or 32 per cent.
 Weekly exchanges of checks drawn on the banks of the United States have this month been running 20 per cent or more above last year. Tn the face | of the railway mechanics strikes, weekly loading of freight on the rail- ways reached in the middlS of July nearly the highest level of the year;
 indeed, if coal is eliminated from the comparison, the number of cars load
 ed was the largest of any week on record, except for short time in the autumn of 1920, when it was claimed that the highest mark in railway his tory had been reached.
 All this may be true, and yet the
 situation be completely reversed, so far as concerns the revival of produc-
 tion and trade, by indefinite prolonga-
 tion of the coal and railway strikes.
 It is possible to imagine, as result
 of such prolongation, industrial con-
 ditions under which the largest mills would shortly have to stop for lack of
 fuel; in which unemployment would be forced on scale not witnessed in the worst part of 1921; in which the problem with many essential supplies
 would not so much as cover their
 cost and possibility of obtaining them
 at all This would certainly be suh- stituting hard times for business re-
 vival.
 Both the best assurance against such a chapter of events is the fact
 that everyone, including the labor unions, is perfectly we'll aware of the
 probability of these results if the strikes are to be continued indefinite
 ly. On the other hand supposlng an early settlement of both industrial disputes. a curiously interesting sit
 nation would result. If business ac-
 tivities are beng now held back by the
 uncertainties of the labor situation, Il
 orders have been turned down because
 of doubt regarding fuel and transpor-
 tation facilities to fill them, then the pressure of such facilities when the restraining influence was removed would be exceptionally great Which ? ever way the wind blows, we are en tering an autumn season that is bound to be full of interest
