Inasmuch as the kaiser's father

If the ruler has been stricken by

mail matter on Sunday except that
outbound from city. Only special
delivery letters and parcels may be
delivered.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Grandfield issued an order making the
new rule effective September one.
Since there can be no assortment
of received mail from midnight Sat

gard the new order as imposing great
hardship on the carriers and unneces-

Arkansas farmers may expect three or four broods of the grass worm" or fall army worm" this sea- son. The present brood is likely the second, whether or not the next brood (within three weeks) will be as seri- ous as this one, depends upon the fight made by the planter himself, says George G. Becker, state ento- mologist, an expert on crop pests. He advises all of the following remedies :
 If you have field that is so badly infested that it is apparent that you cannot make a crop, blow the land under, thereby burying the pupae and preventing the emergence of moths. If it IS practical (on grass lands, for instance), you might go over the land with a heavy roller.
 If field has been stripped of vegetation, lookout for the marching fever. In this case, make a deep fur row, the dirt being thrown out so as to leave perpendicular wall of about 12 inches facing away from the field, so as to make it difficult for the worms to climb on to the uninfested fields They will accumulate in these trenches. Spray them with coal oil or sprinkle coal oil on straw, scat tering the latter in the trenches and setting fire to it, or by using the fol- lowing formula as poison: White arsenic, one pound; bran, 30 pounds molasses, one quart; water to moist en.

 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 The comparative statements and statistics given in Mondays daily edi- tion concerning the enrolment in the Conway high school in 1910-11 and 1911-12, while explained to some ex- tent, are yet calculated to leave a wrong impression on the minds of some people. The figures shown in the official annual report of the dis trict gives the total enrolment for the years mentioned above as 7S7 and 676, respectively. This shows a seem- ing decrease of enrolment this year as compared to last year. Your ex- planation is correct, but does not go quite far enough to show the real comparison.
 It should be remembered, and a reference to the records will show, that every pupil promoted last year at the mid-year promotions was counted twice to make the total of 7S7. This year I counted only the number actually enrolled, not count ing any pupil twice, and we had a total of 676. A little more than 160 pupils were promoted this year at the mid-term promotions. Counting as last year, this would show total of %hoy in n1n1hprC 50 more than the preceding year. That is, whether We take the actual number of pupils entering school, which is certainly the proper way ito do It, or whether we add the promo tions this year to the actual enroll ment, we get a difference of about 50 in 1912 over 1911.

FLBfRIA PEACHES !: SLOW 10 R|PtN THREE CARSSHIPPED HERE OTHER POINTS ON FORT SMITH RAILROAD REPORT BIG
 SHIPMENTS.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
 Elberta peaches in orchards in the vicinity of Conway are ripening more slowly than the growers anticipated, and as result only three cars have as yet been shipped from Conway. It is expected, however, that several ad- sditional cars will be shipped next week.
 Reports from other points on the Fort Smith road indicate that the shipments of Elbertas this year will be by far the largest in the history of the industry The Headlight states that five cars had been shipped from Morrilton up to Thursday morning and 50 cars or more will be shipped during the season. Almost as large a quantity, the Headlight says, will be shipped from Plumerville.
 Fifteen cars were shipped from Russellville Thursday night, accord ing to the Courier-Democrat.
 At Lamar, one of the original FL berta shipping points in the state, it is estimated that 300 cars will be shipped Of this number 250 cars will come from the 600-acre Cazort farm.
 Press dispatches from the St. Louis, Chicago and Kansas City markets state that while the receipts of peaches continue large, the market for fine fruit is becoming firmer. Ar kansas Elbertas are bringing from $1 to $1.9O per bushel basket in these markets. Texas Elbertas are selling as low as 75 cents, on account of reaching the market in an over-ripe condition.
 The Gazette states the Little Rock market was oversupplied with peach ses yesterday.
