HOLDS GRAIN NOT
CURRENCY BASIS
Treasury Officials Turn Down the
Request Of Dealers, Alleging
Speculation

Washington, Aug. 30-The request
of wheat, corn and other grain inter-
ests for an arrangement by which
grain warehouse receipts would be
the basis for the issuance of cur
rency along the line of the recent ar
rangement on cotton and tobacco
warehouse receipts has been fatty
turned down by Secretary McAdoo
and the fiscal heads of the treasury
department.
In making their ruling the treasury
officials held that the present situa'
ton in the grain market is due to
speculation and that the recent fiuc-
tuations In prices have been due to
manipulation and not to conditions
affecting supply and demand.
The treasury officials are under
stood to have evidence that there has
been a recent attempt to corner
wheat and 1t was feared that the &C
ceptance of wheat and grain ware
house receipts would assist the mar
ket manipulators.
At the present time with high pric
es and an apparently ample demand
from the government aid will be will
held from the grain interests witt
the exception of such general aid a

that one who votes for Clinkscales
is not supporting a Blease candidate.

Lake City. August 5:-Quite bit
of excitement prevailed on the
streets Saturday night when it was
learned that negro boy was lying
stabbed near the railroad crossing,
as a result of a knife battle. 1t
seems that one Read had been quar-
relling with a small boy employed at
pressing club, las were Read and
his would-be defender, Brown
when Brown intervened in behalf Of
the boy, which so incensed Read
that he picked up a large smoothing
iron and throwing it at Brown. bare
ly missing him; sc eing the infuriated
condition Read had worked himself
into, Brown attempted to run away,
but Read pursued him, cutting him
several times on the head and shoul-
ders with a large pair of scissors,
finally cutting Brown so seriously
that he turned and stabbed Read,
causing him to fall ,and for a time it
was thought he was fatally wounded.
Brown is confined in the county Jail,
pending the possible recovery of
Read from the wounds he received.

The Anopheles mosquito, the
most deadly variety of these pestif-
erous insects, seems to have no
mission in life but to sting and
destroy. The very name itself
comes from Greek word meaning
useless, hurtful. - Referring to
this species of mosquito an eminent
zo-ologist says: 1t is a genus Of
mosquito which is secondary host
of the malaria parasite and whose
bite is the usual, if not the only
means, of injecting human beings
with malaria. This is terrible
indictment against the Anopheles.

Stung!

AS a rule, we are very cautious
about accepting advertising propo-
sitions from parties with whom we
have had no previous dealings, un-
less they have a commercial rating.
However, along with not Il few Of
our unsophisticated contemporaries
over the State, we, in an unguarded
moment, listened to the song of
the siren" and accepted an adver-
tising contract from concern
styling itself THE Hot Springs
Medicine Co, Hot Springs, Ar
kansas" Immediately after we
began on the contract, we became
suspicious that the concern was at
least questionable in its methods;
therefore to protect ourselves and
our patrons as well, we made an
investigation as to the financial
status of The Hot Springs Medicine
Co. This is the reply we got:
Replying to yours of July 1 re-
garding the financial responsibility
of The Hot Springs Medicine Co,
Hot Springs, Ark, would say that
this firm is an old offender
We would advise you to discontinue
the advertising at once and charge
the account to profit and loss, be-
cause we know it would be useless
to try to collect the bill V
The letter above quoted is from a
well-known advertising agency of
unquestionable integrity and we
shall, of course, adopt its sugges-
ton, and would advise all other
newspapers that bit" to do like
wise.

GREATEST WAR
OF THE CENTURY.
ALL THE LEADING EUROPEAN
NATIONS IN DEADLY CONFLICT
..OTHERS MAY BE INVOLVED.

London, August 2:-Four great
Powers of Europe-Austria-Hun-
gary, Russia. France and Germany
are engaged in actual warfare, but
two of them, Germany and France,
have not openly declared war against
each other and, as far as is known
here. have not even severed diplo-
matte relations. This is despite the
fact that Germany's ultimatum to
France has either been ignored or
rejected.
The explanation of this would ap-
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning a war
that may plunge all Europe into
bloodshed. In fact, while the ma
tions of Europe are flying at each
others throats, they are vying with
each other in protesting their de-
sire to maintain peace. 20.
In this curious situation France,
according to British opinion. has the
strongest justification. She was the
last to mobilize and seems to have
taken the greatest precautions to
avoid frontier collisions.
On the other hand Germany. in
addition to invading French terri
tory without making a formal dec
laration of war, has violated the
neutrality of Luxembourg and de-
clines to give any promise to respect
Belgian neutrality.
The efforts of the British ambas.
sador at Berlin to secure such a
pledge have been wasted. 1t is diff
ficult to see how Great Britain can
avoid being drawn into the conflict
to protect Belgian and Dutch neu-
trality. On this point Premier
Asquith's official announcement in
Parliament Monday is awaited with
intense anxiety.
Short of actual formal mobiliza-
ton the British Government is TAX
ing an necessary steps to meet a
situation unprecedented in the ma
tion's history.
ENGLAND'S WAR DECLARATION.
London, August 4:-'The British
foreign office has issued the follow
ing statement:
Owing to the summary rejection
by the German Government of the
request made by his Britannia Ma
jesty's Government that the neu-
trality of Belgium should be re-
spected, his Majesty's ambassador
at Berlin has received his passports,
and his Majesty's Government. has
declared to the German Government
that state of war exists between
Great Britain and Germany from II
o'clock p. M. August a."

Major J G Richards wants to
know why, if Senator Smith raised
the price of cotton, he (Richards)
has to pay $3.50 a bushel for peas.
That's easy. Because Maj Richards
was too busy with politics to plant
peas OF, if, he planted them, too busy
to bother to pick them. Surely a
farmer ought not to kick on the
high price of farm product.
