From Little Rock
By Clio Harper
Little Rock, July 18—Notwith
standing the persistent talk of
.Vi'.! times, the banks of Li11 e
U >ek shrvv i i their recent rep >rt
>f conditions June 3) a smvll,
out steal? train in resource?.
I'he aggregate deposits increased
iver the April statement from
*31.161.433 or a gain of $1D«\000
fhe bills payable and rediscounts
were reduced during the same
period by the sum of $1,349,531.
The cash reserve is 26 per cent
of deposits. The peak of depos
its for Arkansas banks was
reached Dec. 31, 1919 with
:}41,615,8111. Tlie drop was eery
heavy during the following 12
months amounting to more th in
$11,OOU,000 and reaching the bot
tom Decernoer 29 1920 with
$30 3is,385 Since that t ime the
increase has been slow but
stead.'.* and financial experts con
sider the prospects very satisfac
tory. The aggogate capital of
ll banks in Little Rock is $3,085
000. It is evident that the
people are turning their gov
ernment securities, as the aggre
gate has decreased in one year
from $2,434,211 to $1,980,019.
All conditio vs considered, there
is every reason to believe that
the ebb tide had reached its limit
and that it is again beginning to
flow.

'There are back in the hills and
up at the forks of the c eel
numerous artists with the fid Jh
who scorn tc be m'wn as vio

to have a very considerable ii'im
ber from whom to select tin
one who will represent Arka-sro
in the t'rescent «-itv. One of
the most picture-7 ie of the eli
gible applicants is 1). C. Dodson
of Mountain View, Stone county
Mr. Dodson writes the governor
that he has fiddled out ISi ill
dlers with his jackknife He i"
66 years old and lias been mak
ing fitfdles since he was a boy.
During thp recent campaign for
governor, Mr Dodson played for
Governor McRae when he made
his campaign speech at Mountain
View and sold him one of his
fiddles, which the governor still
prizes highiy. Mr. Dodson says
that since then he has made 40
fiddles, and that he has sold fid
dles to Governor Hays, Governor
Brough, Governor McRae had
presented one to President Wil
son. He says that if he honored
with the appoi tment, he will
make a fid-die especially for the
occasion and that ha v ill enter

the first prize for the “Arkansas
