PRESERVING WOOD in SUGAR
New Method Discovered by English
Scientist Has Bean Tested With
Satisfactory Results.

Preserving wood In sugar, actually
sandying it as fruit and flowers are
candied. is the newest process of treat
ing timber. just taken from the forest,
to prevent dry rot and to bring about
rapid seasoning The new method
was discovered by an English scien-
list and has since been tested with
highly satisfactory results. Woods of
all kinds and of all degrees of density
have been subjected to test, and the
sugar process has been found not only
efficient but less expensive than many
older methods for the same purpose.
The wood is placed in tanks filled
with solution of sugar or saccharine
products, the character OF the solu-
ton differing for the various woods.
The tanks are heated and the wood
is allowed to remain for a stated
length Of time, which also varies with
the kind and size Of timber treated.
The whole process, including the dry
ing. takes but a few days and the
cost as stated. is very low

COST OF LIVING INCREASED
There Are Times When II Is lmpos'
slble for Farmer to Haul His
Products to Market.

The people who groan under the
high cost of living and wonder why
necessaries OF life like potatoes and
cabbages and turnips and apples
should be rotting on the farms when
they would bring high prices in the
cities do not realize the condition OF
the country roads. When roads are
bad farmers experience difficulty in
getting their produce to market. When
roads are very bad there are states
OF the weather In which the hauling
of heavy wagon loads from farms to
railway stations becomes impossible.
The farmer would like to sell what
he grows. The city dweller would liks
to buy it. Both have an interest in tia
building and maintenance OF good
roads. providing at all seasons OF the
year available highways between ths
cities and the farms
Sometimes roads that would be in

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-Penal- ties aggregating $25, ,290,000 are asked by the state from six Ar kansas cotton oil companies in suits filed late Friday afternoon in Circuit Court by Attorney General w. l.. Moose. The com plaints charge that the six com panies, together with other com panieS unknown to the attorney general, formed a pool in Sep tember, 1911, to regulate the price of cotton seed.
 The complaints, six in number, charge that the Arkansas Cot ton Oil Company, the Little Rock Cotton Oil Company, the South ern Cotton Oil Company, the Rose City Cotton Oil Company, and the Buckeye Cotton Oil Go. have forfeited their right to transact business in Arkansas and that the state is entitled to recover penalties of $4,215, ,000 from each company for the vio- lation of a statute prohibiting an understanding to regulate the price of a commodity.
 The American Cotton Oil Co.,, a foreign corporation, is the only corporation aside from the Ar kansas firms named as a member of the alleged pool. No action is asked against this company.
