Warming to Housewives

Washington, July 30. Trust ing housewives who have pack ed away winter clothing with compounds calculated to prevent the encroachment of moths are to be warned by the department of agriculture that many of the compounds on the market are worthless. Through this means much damage to property, it is believed, will be prevented.
 The department announced to- day that 10000 copies of judg- ments against interruptions man. ufacturers are to be printed for the information of the public.

A TEN CENT RAISE
Roads Entering Bluff City From the West Have
 New Rate


 The railroads entering Mem phis from the west across the bridge, have issued orders put ting into effect a ten cent raise on the bridge fare. This order has aroused a storm of protest from this section of the country and the different business organ izatians in Memphis. Until a few days ago, the fare from Bridge Junction to Memphis was |25 cents. now it is 35 cents. The railroads claim they have a per- feet right to make the additional charge, while the people claim that they have out. The Bridge Company is operating under an Act of Congress. An amendment to this Act says:
 Be it provided, That the said bridge company shall charge and receive such reasonable rates of toll :. as shall be approved from time to time by the Secretary of War,
 ! Provided, further, That such reasonable rates of toll so ap- proved by the Secretary of War shall not exceed the sum of twenty-five cents for each pas sage over said bridge by passen- gers upon railway trains cross ing same. Approved April 28, 1904.
 The following is dispatch from Washington in regard to the proposed raise:
 Washington. D. C.. July 2S. Secretary of War Garrison has not granted the Kansas City < Memphis Railroad & Bridge
 Company permission to raise tolls at Memphis from 9 cents to 35 cents per passenger. The tolls for the Memphis bridge wer4 fixed by Congress
 in act passed April 28, 1894, and the Secretary of War is without
 authority to interfere with that
 rate.
 Judging from the Washington
 dispatch, the railroads are acting
 on their own initiative in rate
 raising, and that Uncle Sam vii
 have say so about the increased
 rate. It is estimated that the ten cent raise will net the rail.

How to Cure Pea Hay

Editor ARGUS:
 Begin moving when the peas turn yellow in the pods. Now in the mornings till noon; if pos .sible, run a tedder right after the mower to keepthe hay toss edo up and hasten the willing. Rake into windroWs that after noon. Next morning turn the windroWs with the rake while the mowers are running on other parts. That afternoon put this hay into cocks as mar row and tall as will stand well. Then, as soon as you can take a handful of the hay and twist 1t and can wiring no sap to the twist, haul the hay to the barn and let it settle with its own weight without tramping, and let it alone and it will cure all right. If it heats some, let 1t heat. If you go to stirring 1t to cool it, you will let in germs of mold from the air and will have mouldy hay.
 Now, I have cured 1t In this way many years and never had any mouldy hay, but had it come out with the leaves on and green in color, and far better feed than the usual assortment of sticks that many make by letting the hay lie in the sun to bleach and the leaves to get dry and crisp. In fact, I have found curing pea vine hay as easy as any other hay if you simply let it cure and do not monkey" with all sorts of scaffolds and contrivances that merely dry the hay and lose the leaves, the best part of the hay.

foundation, and as the wagons unloaded the lumber the carpen- ters nailed it right on the bridge. This bridge 150 feet long was over Maple slough just one mile west of Wheatley a place that was impassable during the rainly season because there was no bridge.
 The committee in charge of this work, Elmo Clancy, Drs. F. T. Murphy, T. J. Stout and K. l.. Ponzer have been working in cessantly for the past ten days to get the road in shape for work, with men, teams, graders, etc., and they did not work without marvellous results could be easily seen from the results accomplish ed. So anxious were they, that for several days prior to the day, they were on the road driving stakes, surveying, blowing stumps, blowing, etc., doing the actual labor themselves in addi- tion to blowing, etc. Too much credit cannot be given to these gentlemen for thelr broad gauged progressive, liberal spirit and work done on this important road building/ venture. To sacrifice and do as they have done is an example worthy of emulation and every Brinkleyite will have to keep the pace they have set.

Prices That Arkansas Cattle and Hogs Sell at on the
 kansas s City Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 28, 1913. After grass cattle be- gin to run the market in the summer and fall, there is q natural expansion in the demand that absorbs the increasing sup ply without any radical effect on prices. This season there prom ises to be a better demand from all sources than usual. Commis- sion men believe the low time has been passed on stock cattle and feeder at Kansas City, judg- ing from the large number of inquiries received here, respect ing prospects for cattle this fall, from Illinois, Iowa and other sections. The parts of Arkan- sas located in the free area may, of course, ship their cattle to the native division at Kansas City. and get a chance there to sell t0 country buyers. Cattle from Green Forrestt sold here this week to country buyers, stock steers, 753 pounds, at $6. 25. others weighing 536 pounds at S5.25, and stock cows, 793 bounds at $4.75. Cattle from below the tick line in Arkansas and Louisi- ana, which sell in the Southern Division here, will receive benefit from the heavy country demand, which leaves fewer cattle for the killers than in an ordinary sea< son. Four cars of stears from DeRidder, La, just sold here Monday in the Southern Division at S5.65. weighing 783 pounda. These cattle were produced with minimum effort and expenoe. Cows and heifers from Cotter, Ark, sold easily at $500 and S5.05 respectively same da5s andothers from Pyatt. Ark,
 brought $4.85. Hog prices are
 holding up well, and seem to ke safely entrenched, with bulk selling around $9.O0. Some ight hogs from Green Forrest sold
 here Thursday at $8. 85, averaoe- ing 146 pounds. Sheep n,arlots change frequently and violently, though prices are higher t6is week. Some 90 pound Arkanoas spring lambs sold here Thur<lay at $5. 25, and stock ews in tke shipment brought $3.25. we1Sh- ing IS pounds. Prime lambs ll up to$7.75.

To Hold Fair at narvell

Marvell is to have an Agricul- tural Fair this fall if the plans adopted at a meeting of the busi- siness men of that place are car ried out. This fair will take the place of the one that has been held at Helena.
 The meeting was attended by LIE. Howard, special soil expert under the Department of Agri- culture at Washington, and plans will be made and acted up- an for the immediate consuma- tion of the preliminary steps in the matter under Mir. Howard S personal supervision.
 The committee appointed to luther the porject and confer with neighboring vicinities with reference to individual exhibits from their respective localities, will start to work in earnest dur ing the coming week. Particular attention will be paid to manu. factured products as well as those produced by the farm, the industrial interests of Marvel and surrounding territory having been asked to participate in the affair.

New Potato Pest Found

Warming against a pest that threatens every dinner table in the land was issued Tuesday by the Department of Agriculture. The pest is the potato tuber moth which is working havoc with the potato crop in numerous parts of the country, and whose ravages threaten to prevent the planting of the vegetable in many places of the winter supply. It is es- pecially prevalent in California and Texas, the department re- ports, and through shipments of early potatoes it is being intro duced broadcast throughout the United States.
 Experts of the Bureau of En- tomology urges potato growers to look carefully over the potatoes they dig and destroy every po- tato and vine that show the slightest signs of the moth. Special attention, they add, should be given to the seed po- tatoes. on which the subsequent crop depends. Fumigation with carbon bisulphide is recommend ed.

ROAD TO BE FINISHED

Without doubt the greatest ever in Brinkley formany a day was the One Day Road Building of Wednesday.
 The Brinkley big fire bell sounded att o'clock Wednesday morning to call attention to the pledges of road work and when shortly afterwards a heavy rain began to fall, there was a disap- pointed citizenship. But there was cessation of the showers about work time and possibly one hundred who would not be bluffed by threatening showers proceeded on out east of Brinkley to the road. About this time the rain began in earnest and con- tinued until about II o'clock. It was passed along the line among those who had been hindered be- cause of the rain, that the agree ment to "close all business houses' for the day had been called off until another day and some went back to shops and home. However by noon the clouds blew off and old Sol. told lem, that it was work time on the road.
 The bridge crew in charge of bridge builder Parker, possibly made the finest show of work and showed a fineness of organiza- tion. They already had in. the

1t will be a good thing to have

clares somewhat plaintively that

In view of the fact that the dem

rather remarkable confession for
