BUSY TIMES FOR PoTTERIEs.

East Liverpool, O., Aug. 15.-With
war in Great Britain, France, Germany
and Austria, there is every reason to
believe that the imports of glass and
pottery products from these countries
into the United States will be materi.
ally decreased from now until the end
of the war. Possibility exists also
that the demand for the domestic lines
of pottery and glass will become great
er in the meantime. All of the pot
teries and glass table ware factories
in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia have resumed opera
tions and they have orders booked that
will keep them busy we'll into 1915.

Peril of War Nav

NEARLY ALL HIS TOYS MADE IN
GERMANY AND CANNOT BE
TRANSPORTED.

New York, Aug. 15.-Whole regi.
ments of German soldiers which annu.
ally cross the Atlantic to America
about this time are being kept at home
this year, and there is no telling when
they will come, If at all. Some of them
possibly have started the transatlantic
voyage and perhaps now may be on
their way to New York or other coast
ports, with danger of being captured
by the British warships said to be on
the lookout for prizes But these
regiments of soldiers in reference,
while gaily attired in the colors and
uniforms of the Fatherland, are little
troubled whether they fall into British,
French or American hands. for they
are of the tin and wooden variety,
manufactured for the Christmas trade
Tin and wooden soldiers are about
the only kind that Germany is willing
to have leave her domain now, but it
begins to look as if the soldiers, the
dolls, the mechanical toys and various
other Christmas products of German
ingenuity and handicraft are not des-
tined to take their accustomed places
on American shelves and showcases
this fall and winter unless Germany
succeeds in gaining mastery of the
seas. 1t is a far cry to Christmas,
perhaps, and possibly bit incongruous
to be talking of Christmas toys in the
same berath with a general European
war; but looking at the matter from
another standpoint, the fact that one
has decided bearing upon the other
is just another example of how far
reaching are the effects of a great war
and what multiple of channels of both
trade and pleasure that they strike.
Foreign toys probably amount to
pretty nearly half of the volume of
business done in the American toy
market each year, figured in dollars
and cents, even though the cost of
their manufacture on the whole is con-
siderabiy less than the domestic pro-
duct. OF the toys brought to America
from abroad, the great preponderance
are from Germany. In the year 1911
the value of the toy importations into
the United States, according to govern
ment statistics, was sS,151, ,O33. Iii
1912, for some reason or other, the
total fell off to S7,727,4 400, but last
year it jumped more than a million dol
lars, with total of $S,S56,575.
From these figures it may be seen
that the effect of the European war
even upon such a triviality as a toy
is worthy of the consideration of the
economists in their estimates of the
cost of a war both to those peoples
involved and those who, though merely
lookers-on, at the same time are affect
ed in one way or another.
Germany is the great toy-producing
nation, the volume of its returns last
year from this industry being close to
$90,000,000, in round figures. 4.
A few shipments of toys from Ger
many were received before the war
assumed a serious aspect. But the
great bulk of the German toys design
ed for the holiday trade this year are
still awaiting shipment from the other
side, in German steamships from Ham
burg. The supposition is that they will
remain at home indefinitely.

THE MEETING

The immense crowd present at the tabernacle last evening showed beyond doubt that the interest in the meeting is grow ing and everybody is taking part. It being Friday night, larger percentage of school children were present than usual. There were literally hundreds on the outside of the shed and all seats were occupied. For an hour they listened attentively to a great sermon by Rev. Lockett Adair on "Mother, Home and Heaven" The music was LID to the usual standard and some what improved in volume. "Saved' and "A Volunteer for Jesus" were effectively rendered by hundreds voices, the part being taken by the school child ren being particularly noticeable. A chorus of POO children will be led by boy. There will be ser vices at the tabernacle at eleven tomorrow and in the afternoon there will be services at all of the churches for the reception of members. The hour for meet ing is three o'clock. The usual evening services will be held.
 Mention should be made of the enthusiastic business mems prayer meeting at West Side Pool hall yesterday when 103 were present. Four men came forward for prayer. There were eleven conversions last night and a total during the meeting of 115.

ATTENTION FARMERS:

There will be a meeting of the farmers of Nevada County, at the court house, in Prescott, on Friday, Nov. 6th., for the pur- pose of discussing the present financial situation and formulat- ing plans for the future.
 The present cricis calls for ac- tion. If we do not get up and prove ourselves equal to the en- ergency we are not worthy of and do not deserve success. It takes head-work and real old fashioned hnstling to succeed in this old world. Why not get up and prove ourselves men at this time when all the world is stirr- ed as never before? The pres ent crisis can be turned into a channel of blessings if we pursue the right course. Otherwise humanity will suffer. We have faith in the citizenship of our state. We believe they are equ- al to the task if they will get together.

WHEAT AND THE
 HESSIAN FLY (By Geo. G. Becker, EntOmOlO- |gist, Arkansas Experiment Sta
 tiOn.)

Those of us who are going to put some of our next years cot. ton acreage into wheat this fall would do well to make inquiries concerning the possible occur renee of the Hessian Fly in ou1 respective communities and take such steps as may be necessary to protect ourselves against this enemy of the wheat crop. This insect is to wheat what the boil weevil is to the cotton crop.
 This fly is a small insect res embling a mosquito and it causes it's damage while in the maggot stage living within the young wheat plant. The infested plant is inclined to droop and the till CTS spread out over the ground Such plant are usually more ol less stemless. The leaves being broader and shorter and some what thicker than the normal plant and having a bluish-green color somewhat resembling oats. The infested plant stands very erect but consists of mass of overgrown short leaves which kill at first frost. The wheat head produces only partial crop or no crop at all.
 The extent of the occurrence of the Hessian Fly is not exactly known for Arkansas but those of us who have ever had it in our communities will know it from the above description.
 Control Measures.
 Destroying stubble fo infested fields is the first step taken in its control. In fields which have been inefsted the stubble should be turned under by the first of July if possible.
 To prevent injury for next year SOW your wheat late. The object of this is to have the wheat come up after the fall brood of flies have laid their eggs In North Arkansas, plant not earlier than the 18th of October in Central Arkansas if you plant about the 18th of Oct, it will be late enough to get practical immunity from Hessian Fly in- jury. Remember next year what has been said about the stuoble. The fly may be light this year and you may not notice it. Do not let it get a start on you.

Hope Produce Company
360 Eggs for One Dollar in China

36O Eggs for One Dollar in China
 In the current issue of Farm and Preside appears an editorial on the Chinese egg supply, con- taining the following interesting facts x
 Fifteen years ago the price of eggs in the Province of Shan tung, China, was dollar for 900 eggs. Now the price has risen to a dollar for 36O. Twenty seven million eggs were exported from this province in 1913. most of which went to England.
 ''Few Chinese poultry raisers possess more than a dozen or so hens. They hatch most of their chickens in earthenware incuba- tors which are heated by the fires which warm the living rooms and the beds-thus all the heat is saved. We have the word of our consul at Chefoo that old women frequently incubate eggs by carrying them strapped about their waists under their outer garments. This is carrying econ- omy to the limit, it would seem Most Chinese families are too poor to eat eggs even at the low prices mentioned, and therefore the entire product, except that portion used for hatching is sold. On the average ten Chinese eggs weigh a pound"

 Albania, that European tray estv of our American Mexico, Is again claiming the Worlds at tention. After the attempt to give this newly created nation, composed or number of quar- reling peoples, an alien ruler had miserably failed, the government has passed into the hands ot Es- sad Pasha, the man who was lately driven from his native country by the princelet whom the then allied Powers had seat ed on the throne.

A Winning Fight.
From the Republic.

 The delegates to the Mississip- pi Valley Conference on Tuber- culosis have every reason to look forward with hope to the accom- plishment of the tasks which they have set before themselv- es. The pioneer work in the fight agains+ tuberculosis is lar gely completed. Millions of peo- pie now understand at least a little about the necessity for the early recognition of the disease ; they understand that tuberculo- sis spreads from tuberculosis persons; they understand that it can be rest 'cted, and they have faith in n.o6nrn methods Of res friction and treatment.
 This popular understanding furnishes a solid basis from which appeal can be made to the legislatures of the States, and when such appeals are made the legislators themselves will listen with minds prepared to receive what is said to them without in credulity and without prejudice.
 Nevertheless the amount of ig- norance to be dispelled and the amount of apathy to be over come is still appalling. Thou sands upon thousands are dying of consumption who need never have had the disease had the knowledge which the world now has of it's nature been applied in preventive work. To bring the world to a point where all these steps will be taken so that the ravages of consumption shall be reduced to the minimum is the aim of all such organizations of the present conference, and ali who inlist themselves in that work are entitled to public gra- titude.
