 Defendants further admit that they have completely demoralized the rock market; that at the time said crusher was leased rock for road building purposes in Arkansas could not be obtained for less than $1.lO to $1.50 per cubic yard for inferior grades of crushed rock and that al of the plants engaged in the business of crushing stone had fixed rate for all grades of stone which former ly sold at not less than $1.10 per cubic yard may now be had by any person road improvement district, or county by paying the freight on same, being donated by the various plants to gel their quarries clear of same" /

NEED COOKS IN AUSTRALIA
Scarcity Of Household Help Has Be- come a Serious Problem in
 Island Continent.

The long-cherished theory that the worlds surplus feminine population could be married off if it could be persuaded to migrate to the antipodes is not borne out in a report of the Dominion's royal commission upon the demand for women in Australia. Women are wanted badly in the great island continent, but not so much fer marriage as for domestic servants.
 So great is the demand. according to the report, that many of the girls sailing from England have been en- gagged by wireless as cooks and serv- ants in Australian households before their steamer reached port In some cases, men have been so hard up for cooks that they have gone out in tugs to meet incoming vessels to make sure that they have the first pick of girls seeking employment. The first few days following the landing of the i'm migrants resemble an old hiring fair The employers besiese the labor bureau in hundreds, and in short time every newcomer desiring domes- tic work is pretty certain to have secured a situation at wages more tIan double the sum which she could command in England.
 The commission learned of com plaints that the scarcity of servants in Australia involves such a burden on housewives that it was affecting seri- ously their health. and even acting as check upon the much desired in- crease of the population.

 You just wait, mamma, till I get
 rich and you wont have to wash any
