SUPPLIES USED IN
 PHONE WORK SOAR

With prices so advanced that if any plant in the state was reproduced to- day, it would cost approximately 50 per cent more than two years ago. and repairs costing from 25 to 70 per cent, the Southwestern Telegraph & Telephone company is serving it's customers at prices which prevailed two years ago when the advances be- came marked.
 Statistics compiled by the telephone company show that the three basic metals-copper, lead and antimuny- from which cables are made. show an increase of 1O1 per cent in the past two years. The cost of manufactured cable shows an increase of 70 per cent. To show what a great increase in cost this is. the material used in the manufacture of cables is 23 per cent of the total material in the entirs tel ephone system.
 Copper wire has increased 50 per cent, and iron wire 65, and wire ma terial represents 20 per cent of the material used in the telephone plants. Hardware, such as clamps, bolts. braces and staprands, has increased an average of 63 per cent, and the in- crease on storage batteries and dry cells is 57 per cent
 Much of the material in telephone plants was of course placed before the war began boosting prices on metals, but in the two years addi tions have been made, and new ma terial used to replace the worn and useless, so that half of most plants is represented by material purchased at war prices.

27 D0M|N|CANS SLAIN IN FIGHT
 WITH MARINES

Washington, July 6.-Another en- gagement between 250 revolutionists: in Santo Domingo and American ma rines, in which 27 Dominicans were killed and five captured and one ma rine killed and eight wounded, was reported to the navy department to- day by Rear Admiral Caperton. The fight occurred July 1. before the ten tative agreement was made for the disarmament of the rebels.
 The American killed was Corporal George Fravee. Only one of the ma rines was wounded seriously.
 The revolutionists were routed, Ad- miral Caperton reported, carrying off number of wounded during their re- treat.
 The engagement occurred at Guaya- canes. The revolutionists were con- cealed in position which prevented advanced artillery fire.
 The enemy outpost opened the fir ing, Admiral Caperton stated.
 The fight reported today was the fourth between United States marines and revolutionists in about week

 Austrian Defense C0lIapses.
 Today's news from Petrograd is highly in}nortant in the light of the future developments of the Somme battle. The news that the Russians have captured 5000 prisoners On the Dnelster front appears to leave little doubt of the collapse of Austrian forces between Rucacz and Stanslau. which will greatly effect the army of General von Rothmer, compelling him to retire northward oH Delatyn, and the seizure of the railroad cuts off von Pcthmer from his chief base of supplies. The prospect of Field Marshal ven Hindenberg being able to make an effective div rsion is be- lieved here to he dwindling

 Dissatisfaction is again being voiced by the British newspapers at the in adeuuacv and vaguen-ss of the Brit ish official reports. Tie reticence or silence of Gen.

 The next thing that is complained of is the autopsies that were held in the hospital.
 While a great deal has been said about this subject there has been proof of but five (5) in six months. This does not seem to be an excessive number.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Weather Conditions Cause Loss in Six Days of , to z Points This Week Promises to be a Weather Affair.

! New Orleans, La, June 1S.-Wea-
 ther conditions ruled the cotton mar
 ket last week, prices reacting from
 the early decline on complaints of too much moisture in the belt Price changes were narrow, the extreme range being 19 to P points. Early
 Tn the week the trading months were sent 15 to 20 points under the pre- vious weeks close. From this there was a rise to a level ? to 1 points
 above. The close was at a net loss
 of 3 to points.
 Liquidation of long contracts was a
 factor around the opening of the week and the market sank under the pressure. The large consumption figures for American mills put out
 Tuesday by the census bureau helped steady the market and a favorable in tiuence later was the weakness of the ocean freight market. Locally the
 rate to Liverpool was cut to $1.75 per hundred pounds, the lowest price since last November. Bullish traders were confident this would stimulate
 the export demand.
 This week the market promises to
 be more of a weather affair than any thing else, although there is an in- creasing disposition to pay more at tention to the Mexican situation. Con- tinued rains would stimulate bullish sentiment.

CITIES LOOKING FOR
 REVENUE SOURCE
Action of Supreme Court Invali- dates Occupation TaX-Con- templating Ordinance for h. speciOn Liquor Shipments.

Little Rock, June 19.-The action of the Supreme Court in invalidating the occupation tax in Hot Springs. and by implication a similar tax that had been levied by the city council of Little Rock, has made it necessary for the cities to look about for some other source of revenue. One propo- sltlon which is meeting with general favor is the passage of liquid ship ment inspection ordinance, requiring the payment of fee of fifty cents on each package of liquor received in the city by express or freight. A similar law has been passed at Birmingham, and is now in the courts to be tested as to its constitutionality. Batesville has passed similar ordinance, and is collecting under it. It has been estimated that an average of three hundred packages of liquor daily are received by the express companies in Little Rock, besides the large quan- tity of beer that comes by freight. If this is true, an inspection fee of fifty cents package would produce considerable revenue. The advocates of the tax base their arguments upon a two-fold ground, that of revenue and further regulation of the use and sale of intoxicants in the state. It is expected that the next Legisla- ture will enact new laws for the res friction or regulation of liquor ship ments, in so far as it can be done without infringing upon interstate commerce.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR
 CHILDREN'S FEET

In the July American Magazine Dr. Arthur R. Reynolds, former health commissioner of Chicago, tells. of the many troubles that can make life mis- erable and that come from feet that were neglected in childhood. Among other things he says:
 Children should go barefooted at all times while indoors and through the summer. They should never wear any foot covering at any time that in any way distorts the toes or any part |of the foot, or that interferes in any way with its normal growth and de- velopment. The same may be said of adults.
 Any reform in the shape of shoes must begin with the shoemaker's last. Shoemakers do not seem to be able to get away from form and beauty in shaping it. It is shaped largely by guess, and is pointed and turned up at the toe. No normal foot is so shaped. The only rational last is made from plaster cast of the foot while bearing weight, and the mold can be made only of some semi-solid material that hardens when cool or dry There is little hope of getting a rationally shaped shoe until the wood en last is totally discarded. It is safe to assert that good-looking and non deforming shoes can be made with out it."

BUSHELS OF CORN PER ACRE.

From five to six inches of water should be sufficient to mature a forty bushel crop of corn. Arkansas has from forty-five to fifty inches of rain fall each year, enough if conserved to make eight or nine crops of corn. In spite of this er-abundance of water we every year find corn suffering for lack of moisture and hear the com plaint on every hand that the corn is light and chaffy because of the drought The soil is our store house for moisture. If the water from the recent hard rains is to be held for the benefit of the corn crop, cultivation must be done just as soon as the soil will do to work. In ten days cultivate again and in dry weather don't fail to cultivate every ten days until the crop is almost mature. For cultivat- ing corn or cotton after the grass and weeds are under control, two trips for each row is too expensive. Shal- low cultivation, one trip to the row, can be made just as effective for sav- ing moisture. The one-horse or seven shovel cultivator with small sweeps instead of the outside shovels do splendid work on all types of soil. The spring tooth harrow, sometimes called the Gee Whiz," is good. Even the A harrow. adjusted to fit the middle, is used to good advantage. One trip to the row, cheap but effect i've, usually leaves the land in much better condition. Level, shallow cul- tivation is cheapest and safest in the opinion of the extension forces of Arkansas.

SUBSTITUTES FOR GASOLINE

In the July Woman's Home Com panion c. H. Claudy, the automobile expert, says:
 "There are number of liquids on the market the makers of which claim will do various wonderful things to make gasoline more economical to use and the engine more powerful Without an exhaustive test of each and every one of them 1 would not want to go on record as advising or condemning any of them
 Ut seems logical, however, to be- lieve that if the claims of the various manufacturers were demonstrable, all automobile manufacturers would ad- wise the use of such liquid in their cars. So far as l know. no such ad- vice is given by any manufacturer.
 'I do not believe that you would be apt to damage your car by making a trial, but l confess to feeling some what doubtful that the result will be what you hope for. The great dis advantage of trying such liquid seems to me to be that in practically all cases the readjustment of the car buretor is necessary, and it is always a good automobile practice to leave a properly adjusted carburetor alone" /"

 ities of the South for the week the Manufacturers Record notes that the first unit of a by-product potash plant in connection with the Portland cem- ent manufacture will be put into op- eration at the plant of the Security Cement X Lime Co.,, Hagerston, Mary land. This is the first by product pot ash plant in connection with cement making that has been established in the East, the only other plant of this kind now in operation being in Calf ornia, though a number of other cem- ent-making companies are figuring on establishing similar plants and have been awaiting the outcome of this Maryland plant before undertaking similar efforts to produce potash as a by-product The Maryland company has already comenced to sell potash for future delivery at current market prices, and it is believed that with the development of potash production as a by-product in cement and also in lronmaking, to which many iron con cernS are now giving serious study, it will be possible for this country to produce all of the potash needed, and thus supplent the heavy importations formerly made from Germany.
