STORE SOME COTTON

The most important things for the farmers of the cotton districts of Arkansas, and equally important for the business interests is to provide storage right now for at least one third of thee otton crop. And cotton should not be stored on the farm. but in good warehouse at a railroad station. The business men of Arkan- sas should get into this game of help ing the farmer to become independent, and the best way to do that in cot ton county is to help find way to store at least one-third of the cotton until the farmer gets ready to sell. The best way to do this is to help the farmers to own their own warehouses. The price will certainly be higher by February.

WILDCATTING IN HOWARD
But Grand Jury Is Unable to Get Evi-

Hope, Aug. 21.-The making of il- licit liquor is alleged to prevail in the northern part of Howard county. Validating it alleged to be rampant. It IS said conditions being probably as bad as in the balmy days of moonshin- ing, years ago. The local authorities have been unable to secure assistance of the federal officers, who say they are so busy Investigating the cases of conspiracy against the government at Fort Smith that they have no time to devote to the situation in Howard couny. The Grand Jury which has just adjourned at Nashville, in the re- port to Judge J. T. Bowling, says in part:
 "We find evidence tending strongly to show that there is an illicit still operating in the county, but regret to state that owing to a disposition on the part of both young and old men to shield the guilty parties, we have been unable to obtain sufficient evidence upon which to base an indictment"

CANNING COMPOUNDS
 DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
Housewives Warned That Use of Preserving Powders Harmful And Useless.-Use May be At
 tended Disturbances of Health

Washington, D. C., Aug. 23.-Infor- matlon has come to the Department that the canning season has brought the usual demand on the part of housewives for salicylic acid and boric acld. These preparations are some. times sold in the form of powder un- der various trade names and are rec commended by the promoters for use In preserving canned goods in home canning. In the directions for use the housewife is told to fill the jar with the fruit or vegetables, cover with water, and add a teaspoonful of the preserving powder. While it is true that these compounds may retard the decay of the fruit or vegetable, it is pointed out by the experts of the De- partment that their use may be attend ed by serious disturbances of health. Salicylic acid is we'll known as a pois-. onous substance, and one of the evils which may accompany it's use is de- lrangement of the digestion. It is therefore plain that it's extensive use in food may lead to disturbance of digestion and health.
 The Federal Food and Drugs Act prohibits the use of harmful preserva. tives in foods that enter interstate commerce. The food law of nearly every state in the Union forbids the sale within the state of foods that have been preserved with harmful sub stances. Neither the Federal or State food laws apply to foods that are canned in the home and consumed there. It would seem, however, that the housewife would not knowingly use in the foods she provides for her family, substances that she could not use in foods for sale without violating the law, because these substances are injurious to health.
 Artificial Preservatives not Necessary
 Fruits and vegetables can be kept indefinitely if they are sterilized by heat and promptly sealed, and there is no excuse, in the opinion of the eX- perts of the Department, for running any risk by using such powders, which may be injurious to health. The use of such powders in addition to the pos sible injury to health encourages un- cleanly or careless work in canning. Reliance is placed in the efficacy of the preserving compound instead of upon cleanliness and heat.
 The Department has issued bulle' tins that give specific directions for the preserving and canning of fruits and vegetables without the use of preserving powders or canning com pounds. These bulletins may be ob- tained without cost from the Depart ment of Agriculture. Application should be made for Farmers Bulletin No. 203 on Canned Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies, and No. 521 on Canning Tomatoes at Home and in Club Work. Also Forms N. R. 23, N. R. "A, N. R. 34 and N. R. 37 of the Office of EX- tension Work, North and West, States Relations Service.

BRITAIN PROCLAIMS
 COTTON CONBATRAND
Government Promises Relief but Does Not Explain Plan to be AdOpted.-America More Pre- pared than at Year Ago.

London, Aug. 21.-Cotton has been declared absolute contraband by Great Britain, according to a statement bv the Foreign Office this afternoon. The statement declares that the govern ment proposes to initiate measures to relieve depression which might tenn porarily disturb the cotton market, because of the contraband order.
 The French government will issue a similar notice early tomorrow.
 America Prepared.
 The announcement follows:
 His majesty's government has de- clared cotton absolute contraband. While the circumstances might have justified such action at an earlier per- iod. his majesty's government sglad to think that local conditions of the American interests likely to be af- fected are more favorable for such . step than they were year ago, and moreover his majesty's government contemplates initiation of measures to relieve as far as possible temporarily depression which might temporarily disturb market conditions.
 The declaration making cotton con traband is effective from today. A royal proclamation concerning the sub ject was published in a supplement of the London Gazette issued tonight. It is very brief.
 After preamble citing previous proc lamations concerning contraband, it says:
 The Kings Proclamation.
 Now, therefore, We do hereby de- clare, by and with the advice of our privy council, that during the contin- uance of the war or until we do give further public notice, the following articles will be treated as absolute contraband, in addition to those set out in our royal proclamations aforemen- toned:
 Raw cotton, cotton linters, cotton waste and cotton yarn.
 And We do hereby further declare that this, our royal proclamation, shall take effect from date of its pub lication in the London Gazette"
 The proclamation was signed yes terday by King George.
