DE QUEEN STORE
 IN BANKRUPTCY
Affairs of DeQueen Department Store Company in a Bad Tangle Manager of Concern Left
 Several Weeks Ago.
From the DeQueen Bee.

Bankruptcy proceeding having been filed in Federal court upon pe- tition of creditors, the store of the DeQueen Department Store Com pany was closed Wednesday morn ing to await a legal adjustment of its affairs.
 Ernest LOVan, manager of the concern, left DeQueen several weeks ago. and has not yet returned. His continued absence, together with other circumstances, led the stock holders to conclude that he had abandoned the business, and steps were taken to protect the interests of all Occnerned.
 James T. OLaughlin of St. Louis, who is largely interested in the company's affairs, arrived in the early part of the week, and F. F. Church of the same city came also. Mr. Church is confidential agent for the Ferguson-McKinney Dry Goods Company, which institution is a creditor of the DeQueen Depart ment Store Company. Stockholders of the concern designated Mr. Church as trustee to protect the in terests of both stockholders and creditors, and he at once began taking an inventory of the liabili- ties and assets, which he declared to be an enormous task. Mr. Church is specialist in this line, and would no doubt have untangled the affairs of the concern in a satisfac- tory manner. but some of the ere ditors preferred to institute bank ruptcy proceedings, which was done.
 From his brief investigation, Mr. Church estimates the assets of the company to amount to about S25,- GOO and the liabilities S30,000.

TO GUARD HEALTH
 OF OLD VETERANS
Governor Futrell Will Declare an Emergency to Remedy Over sight of the Legislature
 Much Tuberculosis.

Little Rock, June 13.-Among the improvements to be made at the Confederate Home during the sum- mer will be the erection of a hos pital, and especially a ward for the segregation of the state wards who suffer with tuberculosis. The last legislature failed to make an ap- 'propriation for a hospital building, through an oversight, and as the building is badly needed, Governor J. NJ. Futrell will declare an emer- .9ency to be existing, which will permit the State Board of Charities to spend the money required to erect the building without a legis- IatiVe appropriation being made.
 At the present time the inmates of the home who have tuberculosis are not segregated. The disease is very prevalent among aged people, though it is not fatal, the sufferers usually succumbing to pneumonia through their weakened condition. To prevent a spread of the disease tents have been requested in which to quarter the tuberculin patients, and Governor Futrell will permit them to be taken from the equip ment of the Arkansas National Guard.
 The State Board of Charities has purchased a wagonette, in which the inmates of the home may ride to and from Little Rock, instead of walking or catching a chance ride on wagon. as in the past.

SILOS SALVATION OF
 ARKANSAS FARMERS
Ten Tons of Silage Stored in Space of Ton of Hay-COrn From Ten Acres Will Winter 30
 Head of Stock.

Little Rock, June l2.-SilOs will
 within the next few years save the
 farmers, and especially those rais-
 ing cattle or paying any attention
 to the dairy business, millions of
 dollars, according to L. R. Putnam of Fayetteville, for many years president of the Arkansas Lumber men's Association, and one of the best known lumber men of Arkan- 1 sas.
 It was at the suggestion of Mr. Putnam that Silo Day was observed at the University of Arkansas May 3l, at which time several hundred farmers spent the day on the col lege campus, listening to the lee lures of farming experts and wit messing a silo Tn operation at the college dairy. Mr. Putnam erected a silo on the university campus and near the agricultural college dairy, which was operated by a gasoline engine built in the university shops by students.
 Ten tons of silage may be put in the same space as one ton of hay" states Mr. Putnam, "and the corn from l5 acres, placed in a si- 10, will do more good than the hay from D acres. The corn from ten acres, if placed in silo, will winter 30 head of cattle, and as the feed is as rich and juicy in January as it is in June, it will produce as much milk in the dead of winter as in summer. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being annually wasted in Arkansas by the loss of valuable feed which is now left in the field. If this is put up in a silo all the feeding qualities are saved.
 There are comparatively few silos in Arkansas now, but you will see them by the thousands in the next few years. We had farmers from Pine Bluff, Monticello. Warren and other towns far away from Fayetteville. which shows how in- terested they are in the new meth cd of handling winter feed. The farmers went away pleased with tn silo and many purchased them before they departed from Fayette- vile. Every community where one silo is tried means many more there the next year"

Plain Talk on Flies.
To Inc Editor of The Star:

To the Edlt0r O1 The star.
 Dear Sir-Since flies are becom- ing too numerous to mention, let us give a little advice as to "Swattine the Fly" particularly since those who ought to connect with the sewer will not. Vii you, or are you too lazy. to gather dust from the street, keep a box filled with the same, keep another box for the soied paper, and when full take out and burn? Sift the dust lib- orally in vault, keep your slops out of closet vault, and you could have an earth closet in your house and have no scent and no flies. Spray the stable accumulations with creosote in heat of the day, and then we who are connected with sewers will not have to buy fly traps or have to swat the fly. Try 1t and be convinced.

OKLAHOMA NEGRO HUNG AND BURNED
Bennie Simmons, IS Years Old, Was Accused of Outraging and Murdering 16-Year-
 Old White Girl

Anadarko, Ok, June l3.-Bennie Simmons, a negro is years old, was taken from jail at Anadarko be- tween 3 and i o'clock this morning by mob in which there were nearly a thousand people and hanged to tree near the railroad bridge. The body was saturated with oil and then burned.
 Simmons was charged with the murder of Sue Church, l6 years old. She was returning on horseback from Cogar to her home when she was pulled from the horse and out ragged Tuesday. Two hours later her parents found her dead body in cIump of bushes near the road, the throat cut from ear to ear.
 Trailed by Blood Marks.
 A plain trail from the scene led the farm house where Simmons was employed and when arrested he had a bloody knife in his pocket. | His clothing was covered with blood but he did not confess. The negro begged when the mob took him this morning, but his pleadings were met with jeers.
 When the sheriff heard that the mob was coming from Cogar to take the negro he removed him from the county jail to the old gov ernment prison. The news spread, and when the negro was taken from the jail fully a thousand people witnessed the lynching.
 Riderless Horse Spread Alarm.
 Cogar is an inland town in the northeastern part of Caddo county, and Fred Church and wife live on a farm near the town. Tuesday aft ernoon the little girl, riding horse back, started alone to Cogar to do some shopping. About o'clock Mrs. Church and neighbors heard screams, and shortly thereafter Su- sies horse came home alone. Mrs. Church mounted the horse and rode to Cogar, and there met her hus- band, who said Susie had left the store on her return trip home. The parents then returned toward their home, and came upon a pool of blood in the road, and also noticed evidence of struggle having taken place. Following the trail of blood they came upon the lifeless body of their daughter about 30 yards from the roadside.
 Neighbors were summoned, who took up the trail and followed it to a neighbOring negrO's house, where the Simmons negro was found. Simmons had been working in the community as a farm hand.

Little Rock, June i3.-Accordng to reports from what is considered an authentic source, federal office holders in Arkansas who have yet a considerable portion of an uneX- pired term before them, will soon be retired to private life, and a Democrat placed in office instead. The report is that the officials will be requested to send in their resig- nations. as has been done already in several instances, and if these are not forthcoming an order of dismissal will be issued.
 In most instances those who will be affected by the order have been for a number of years in the en- ploy of the government

POSTAL CHANGES

Seceral new post office orders be-
came effective July LIST and n Of
them, the one eliminating the dis
tincitive parcel post stamps, is of
great Importance to every business
man. Another order will make the
parcel post system still handler for
the average shipper as the govern
ment will henceforth collect any
amount due on any parcel and will re-
turn that amount to the sender of the
arcel for a very nominal fee.
Commencing July 1, the parcel post
collect-on-delivery system became eff
fective and one can send a parcel to a
customer and have Uncle Sam collect
the amount due on it, make u a
money order to the original sender and
return it to him-all for the small sum
of ten cents and the money order fee.
The clerk at the receiving end makes
out the money order and sees that it
is sent back to the original sender.
Another order of importance is the
following: con and after July /, 1913,
ordinary postage stamps, including
commemorative issues, shall be valid

gering. II is not the Graphic's prero-
gative TO tell any farmer what he
should raise and what he should not
raise. There is a fascination about
wheat raising-largely because the
lack OF work compared with growing
fodder crops, dairying, poultry, hogs,
cattle and what is commonly called
diversified farming. But the fact
stands GU hard as nails that the rich
and prosperous sections of the state
or OF any other state-is not the wheat
raising regions-Canada and North
Dakota. where they can't raise any
thing else, excepted. The Illinois and
Iowa farmers went broke in an early
day trying to make a living raising
wheat. Now and then a year of un-
usually good yield and high prices
makes it like finding money, but keep
at il and wheat raising will get you
or later. Not the least part Of
it is that it impoverishes the soil and
nothing is put back.-Kimball Graphic.
