great Ozark region of Arkansas and

great Ozark region of Arkansas and Missouri are now harvesting the greatest apple crop in it's history and facing at the same time their great est problem in disposing of this inn mense crop on dull market. In many instances the apples are being allowed to go to waste because the orchard owners do not think they would be worth harvesting.
 Various plans of disposing of the crop have been tried. In some cases the growers themselves are solving the problem by carrying wagonloads to market in Oklahoma and Texas. Others have been the 'buy-a-barrel' movement and the use of apples in vinegar and cider factories. The de- mand for the dried fruit is light, and for this reason not a great quantity is being used for this. The fruit is larger and of better flavor than in previous years, due to increased use of orchard sprays and more extensive pruning"
 The officers addressed have been forced to return the checks and to in form the inquirers that the matter of marketing apples is giving this sec tion of the state very little concern at present, the problem confronting Con- way being how to get more than six cents a pound for cotton.

EMBARRASSING CORRESPOND ENT CREATES UNEXPECT-
 ED DEMAND HERE.

For the past two weeks the post master, mayor and other local officials have been receiving almost daily in- quiries from all section of the south from correspondents who desire to buy barrel or a carload of apples at Conway. Tn some of the letters the writers enclosed checks and asked the officials to purchase that amount of apples and have them forwarded to them. As Conway never shipped a barrel of apples in it's existence and as it is about 200 miles to the nearest commercial shipping point for apples, the recipients of the letters were somewhat puzzled until they discover ed that a distress story of the apple situation in northwest Arkansas had been sent out under Conway date line by an enterprising local core spondent of a Memphis paper, who not only covers the news of his inn mediate locality but also writes news stories of the state in general. One of the letters received by Postmaster Ii. B. Ingram contained the following clipping;

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

The progress of the allies in north ern France and Belgium is indicated by the statement issued by the Brit ish Official Press Bureau that in the northern area the Germans have been driven back more than 30 miles. This is in part confirmed by an Amster- dam dispatch which says that the Germans have evacuated Courtrai, which is very considerable distance to the northeast of Lille. This ad- vance, however, has reference only to what was formerly known as the French left wing. This wing now ex- tends to the North sea, and it is here that British and French reinforce ments have been placed in the line to meet the heavy achievements which have come to the German right wing the army which is trying to force it's way down the coast to the French channel ports. On this important phase of the great battle the latest official statements issued by the French war office gives little infor- nation, except for the recording of the recapture of Armentieres by the allies and the repulse of several at tacks by Germans in Belgium, with notable advance north of Arras There has been fighting also in the neighborhood of St. Die, where the Germans have been endeavoring to force their way through the French l lines.
 Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British expedition ary force, has sent two highly inter esting reports to the war department He gives figures showing that during the period between September 12 and October 8, 561 officers and 12,980 men were among the killed, wounded and missing.
 The Austro- German and Russian reports of the fighting in the east continue contradictory
 In the south the Servians again an- nounce successes to their arms against the Austrians.
 Disquietude prevails in Asiatic Turkey, according to a news agency dispatch. The governor of Alexan- dretta has threatened to burn his city if the British or French warships appear. In Smyrna a similar condi- tion of uneasiness prevails.
 Admiral Won Tirpriz, the German minister of marine, has arrived in Antwerp. It was stated recently that late in October he would take con- mand of the German fleet.
 An Amsterdam newspaper learns that the Germans from Zeebrugge have shelled the Belgian lightship off that port, forcing the crew to desert their posts and leaving the lightship dark.
 Eight hundred Austrian sailors and mechanics have arrived in Constanti- nople to serve in the Turkish navy and forts.
 Canada will keep 30,000 men in continuous training, to be drawn upon in units of 10000 as soon as equipped, during the continuance of hostilities. Thirty three thousand Canadian vol unteers are now in camp in Swis- bury Plains, England, and the next 900 will go into training at once for service in the foreign field. 1 MANY WANT BARRELS

Union Telephone Company Res
trained From Collecting Penalty.
The common council of Owosso on
Monday instructed City Attorney Pull
YER to begin suit by injunction to res.
train the Union Telephone Co. from
collecting more than $24 year for
business phones and $1s for residence
phones, the trouble arising through the
objection of q subscriber to paying q
penalty of fifty cents for not paying the
bill sent him for quarter year in ad-
vance. time of payment having been to
the fifteenth of the first month in the
quarter without penalty.
James Copas objected to the charge
and brought the matter to the attention
of the council some weeks ago but it
was decided at that time not to take
any action. Since then, Mr.. Copas not
having paid his bill, the Telephone Com.
pany removed the telephone from his
residence and he again urged the coun-
Gil to begin action.
General Manager Melchers in speak
ing for the company stated tn 1t despite
the increased cost of everything else
there had been no increase in the charge
for telephones, that although the ex.
pense of the company had increased
every year it was still bound by fif.
teen year old franchise, that without a
penalty clause a large added expense
was caused for collecting and that the
payment in advance and penalty were
necessary to prevent the company {
being defrauded by many people at a
big loss to the company and that it was
necessary to make rules governing al
alike.
Several other phones of those who
had not paid have been removed.
A temporary injunction was issued
