 The woman led her hooligan band to Muller's shop, and screamed that he was aGerman. She said the mans wife and two daughters sitting at a table near a window also were Ger mans. Immediately the crowd advanced to attack the family and wreck and loot the shop. M. Muller jumped to a table, and harranguing the crowd, produc- cd his mobilization papers order ing him to join his colors the next day.
 Have any of my would-be as- sailants their mobilization pa pers?" he asked. 'If not, they would do we'll to save that ener- gy they are wasting attacking innocent people. They should carry that energy to the front and use it against the German army" The mob dispersed af- ter cheering Muller.

Why We Should Raise Wheat.


 There are soils in Arkansas that are cotton sick" and soils that are "sick" from continu- ous growth from year to year of the same crop; but there are few soils in Arkansas that have been hurt by single cropping of wheat. And wheat can be grown as money, pasture or cover crop to advantage in almost any section of Arkansas. Wheat does best on well-drained rich clays and heavy loams, but good profitable yields are given on great va riety of soils, even on light soils where moisture is not deficient. An abundance of organic matter is necessary for the best crops of wheat. There is no section of Arkansas that cannot produce wheat in quantities that will make it a paying crop, provided it is given the proper attention and care. With as much atten- ton as some of our other staple crops it would be sure to be a success.
 Now is the time to SOW wheat. There has been a good market for wheat almost the entire sea- son, and next year it is very reasonable to suppose that there will be a much better market and price. Seeding should be done as early as possible in De- tober, and it would be much bet ter if it were seeded now, in or der to give it start before frost. Six to eight pecks is a good seeding. The kind of soil and it's condition, of course, will possibly change in some instanc- es what is termed a good seed ing. Many farmers have had success by seeding in the cotton middles after the first picking, and then chop the cotton stalks, after the cotton is out, without much damage to the wheat, but a seed bed is better. Prepara- tion is worth a great deal in the handling of any crop. Especial ly if the wheat is sown as a money crop. Of the many varie- ties I prefer the Forecaster Bearded Wheat, but any South ern grown soft winter wheat will give you satisfaction. In my opinion, now is an excellent time to try some of the other crops

Selling Short Weight Gets Peddler into
 Trouble
Isaac Golden Fined S25 for Delivering
 Too Few Potatoes

Isaac Golden plead guilty at a speei- al ses ion of the city court Tuesday morning to selling potatoes at short weight and was fined S25 which he paid.
 Several complaints have come to the mayor and police that itinerant vend- ors were not dealing out the quantity that the law requires when making sales. Charles Johnson, county sealer of weights and measures, was notified and came to the city Tuesday morning to investigate. Johnson spotted Gold en and after he had made sale went to the house to see if IL was all right He found that half peek of potatoes that Golden delivered only weighed D l-2 pounds instead of the l-2 pounds that the law requires so he had Sheriff Holbrook place the man under arrest and took him to the police station. The prosecuting attorney was notified and drew a complaint and the judge agreed to hold an immediate session of court so that it was all within an hour that Golden was caught, appeared in court and paid his fine. IL was stated 10 the court that such things would not be tolerated in this city as 1t was two- fold wrong-it was unfair competition 10 local merchants and il was cheating the consumers most of whom were among the poorer classes in the city. A substantial fine was suggested as a warning to others that this kind of H. legal business will not be tolerated in Putnam,
