EAST ARKANSAS
 PLANTING CLOvtRS

Little Rock, Aug. 28.-Dean J. H. Miller, director of the extension divis- ion of the University of Arkansas, has completed tour of eastern Arkansas and states that thousands of acres of clovers will be planted this fall in Ar kansas. Many of the farmers are planting burr clover in cotton middles.
 Dean Miller has preached clovers continually, but advises the farmers not to go into it extensively until they are thoroughly acquainted with them. He advises the planting of small acreage at the start, and increasing it from year to year. Dean Miller has advised the acreage in crimson clover to be six, and in burr clover to be from two to four. He also advises the planting of land now in Bermuda in clover, for the mixture will give al- most all-year-round pasturage.

PLANS Bic RALLY
 FOR ROADS LAW

Little Rock, Aug. 2S.-Judge Harry E. Cook of Chicot county, manager of the campaign which is being waged in Arkansas for the adoption of the proposed amendment to the conf stiututlon for the building of good roads, has made arrangements for a big rally by the members of the Little Rock Motor Club. This big meeting will be held early in September and will be addressed by Senator J. NJ. Flu trell, who dra ted the measure; Judge J. s. Abercrombie, president of the Arkansas Good Roads Association, as well as other prominent citizens who are interested in the building of good roads.
 It is planned to organlze the motor ists in every section of Arkansas, for under this amendment more roads can be built in Arkansas in one year than in dozen under the special district act. Under the proposed amendment the taxpayer is relieved of additional taxation, which is quite an induce ment to secure his vote.

COTTON CONDITION

 East Fruiting Poorly

Memphis, Aug. 28.-The average condition of the cotton crop is 64.9 per cent of normal, according to reports of correspondents of the Commercial Appeal, made up of average date of August 24.
 This compares with a condition of 13.2, the government figures on July 25 of this year, 69.2 on August 25 last year, and 10-year average of 72.5 , for this date.
 Dry weather west of the river has loWede the condition in that portion of the belt, Oklahoma, most of Texas and eastern Arkansas having suffered most from this source. The southern portion of the central belt has suffered further heavy inroads from the boil weevil, while the eastern crop has failed to fruit as it should. Worst reports come from Mississippi and Alabama.
 Tennessee, that portion of Missis- slppi lying north of the weevil-infest- ed territory and eastern Arkansas countles lylng along the rlver furnish the best reports, making the Memphis district crop the best in the belt. Got ton is opening practically all over the belt and first bales are reported from nearly all sections, while in the southern districts the movement is as- suming goodly proportions. Labor as a rule is plentiful, although Texas an- tlcipates a moderate shortage when gathering is under full swing through out the state. Farmers, generally, ap- pear disposed to sell rather freely so long az present values are maintained A goodly number in Mississippi and Alabama are exceptions to this rule

Little Rock, Aug. 2S.-Dr. c. H. Brough will return to Arkansas, after a strenuous speaking circuit in Maine in behalf of the Democratic national ticket, about September 9 and will inn medlately start on a tour of county fairs. pr.

Dr, Brough will not talk pol its in these speeches, but will deliver hls discourse along educational lines.
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-08-28

The condition in the state of Arkan- sas is summarized as follows:
 In the eastern counties the crop continues to show an excellent prom ise, except for some moderate deterior- ation from boil weevil and other causes in the south. Outside the east there are large number of com plaints of deterioration from dry weather, boil weevil in localities and other causes. Taken altogether, the crop in the state has lost rather sub stantially from the high condition of month ago. First bales" are quite general in the different counties, but picking has not yet become general. Farmers appear disposed to sell at prevailing prices.

LITTLE ROCK BUYERS TO
 PENALIZE SMALL BALES

Little Rock, Aug. 2S.-Small bales of cotton are going to be unpopular of Arkansas this year, for restrictions have been placed on those weighing less than 800 pounds, or five per cent under, and the Little Rock cotton ex- change has adopted the rules of the cotton concentration points. This rule allows the buyer $1 reduction on 400- pound bale, and all 300-pound bales are to be refused, unless the buyer choses to take them at $3 reduction.

RAILROAD MEN 60
 HOME TO STRIKE COUNTRY MAY BE TIED UP Strike Order Expected Friday or Saturday if Officials Refuse Union
 Mems Eight-HOur Demand.

Washington, Aug. 28.-"We are going home to strike" was the sig nificant announcement of many rail road brotherhood representatives Sunday afternoon as they left the union meeting place, the Bijou theatre, after a brief private session, and hurried to their hotels to send their baggage to the railroad sta tions. A general exodus of the GAO representatives of the brotherhoods had begun, and many of the men starting back to their home districts admitted that they were going in order to be ready for the word to start the greatest strike in American history, that of 100000 employees on 225 railroads, tying up the country. Representative of the railroad ex- ecutives asserted that the union men were bluffing in order to force the hands of the executives, who are to go to President Wilson today with their answer, which will be in the form of a counter-proposition to his proposal for the granting of the eighthour day without the punitive overtime feature.
 The GAO representatives of the four railroad brotherhoods at mass meeting here delegated to "A officials including presidents, vice presidents and heads of some of the larger locals, authority to continue negotia- tions in Washington with President Wilson and the railroad managers.
 The remainder of the GAO chairmen of trainmen's organizations will leave Washington for their homes as quickly as possible to prepare for a strike order if no proposals are of fered to meet their demands which are satisfactory to the "A officials.
 If no agreement is reached here, trainmen's officials declared that the strike would be ordered at an hour already agreed upon and which is reported to be some time Friday or Saturday.
 I've were told they made definite assurances to some of their men who wanted the in creased pay-but did not want to strike-at the time the strike vote was taken that there would be no strike," said Frank Fay ant press agent of the managers, who expressed the general view point of many of the executives.
 It was further declared at the managers headquarters that they understood that the brotherhood men had assured the postoffice depart ment and the war department that in the event of strike anything these two departments wished car ried out would be done by the broth erhood men.
 The executives expressed confi- dence that should a strike be called they would be operating a good service within three days. The southern roads would be less affect cd than any others, while the west ern roads were in excellent condition to withstand strike, it was assert ed.
 With the deadlock apparently be- coming worse, President Wilson was understood to be preparing sugges- tions along two lines that he hoped would form the basis for successful negotiations.

IS USED
IN AUTO CASINOS
BIG TIRE FACTORY USES GUAM
Titles OF MINERAL FOR
PRESERVATION

Anthony, as preservative factor
in the manufacture OF automobile
tires and other rubber articles, is
coming into general use, according to
A. C. Ochs, travelling agent for rub
Der company of Chicopee Falls. Mass.
who is in Goldfield. AS result Of ex-
periments conducted during the past
year by the company, II has been
found that anthony not only takes
the place of sulphur, in causing rub
Der to retain its life and resiliency.
but that anthony is impervious to the
influence Of alkali, which quickly des-
troys the preservative qualities OF sui
phur, says the Tribune.
In the manufacture Of its casing
one company is now using anthony,
and while the latter is considerably
more costly than sulphur. its resis-
ta1ce to alkali and other deleterious
substances makes II preferable by pro
longing the life and toughening the
surface of tire castings. The increased
demand for anthony, created by the
expensive use of the minerals In the
automobile industry, is OF interest 10
mining men of Nevada, as this state
produces considerable quantity OF
anthony and possesses large un
developed deposits of the mineral
