BAUX|TF STRIKE
 FINALLY ENDED COMPROMISE IS REACHED Employers Take Back ITO and Will Re-lnstate AS More if Their Con-
 duct Justifes It.

Little Rock, Sept 1.-The Bauxite strike ended unexpectedly yesterday afternoon when the striking employees voted to accept the American Bauxite Company's proposal to take back 17O of the men and the company announc- ed the men will begin work this morn- ing. The proposal was made last week. It provided that ITO men be re- instated and that 4S be temporarily rejected, but that they would be rein- stated If their future conduct justi- fed" The men had asked that a def- mite time be fixed for the reinstate- ment of the men.
 The agreement does not mention the unicn. The company does not recog- nize it, but agrees not to discriminate against members. The settlement re- suited when the 48 men whom the com- pany refused to accept met yesterday afternoon and agreed that they would lot stand in the way of a settlement but to urge the other ITO men to re- turn to work. The ITO men met i'm mediately afterward and voted to call off the strike.
 The Bauxite strike began early in June, when union was formed and the men demanded an increase in pay Their demands were compromised and they returned to work on a new wage scale. A month later they struck aUaip allauipr fhaf ,,,opoharC of the union had been discharged withou, cause. There was no wage question involved in the second strike.

CONWAY COTTON
 25 POINTS LOWER

Cotton on the local market dropped off another quarter-cent today, aver age receipts bringing IA 1-2 cents, as compared with l4 3-4 Saturday. The futures market is up few points today from Saturdays close, but the pressure of unprecedented receipts is forcing the spot market down, although it is universally re- alized that the crop is exceptionally short and that higher prices are bound to prevail when the receipts slacken up. Apparently here, as well as elsewhere in the belt, farm CTS are working might and main to gather their cotton and put it on the market as rapidly as possible, and this has naturally had the effect of putting the buyer in a position to easily force down prices.
 Cottonseed is practically unchang- ed at $43 per ton today.

GLEASON BRIDGE
 OPEN 10 TRAFFIC

The Cadron bridge at Gleason, which was out of commission for several days on account of the fail ure of the piers under the west end of the st cture, is again open to traffic, although the repair work will not be completed for several days yet The bent columns on which the bridge rests have been strengthened and they will be strengthened by concrete IS inches all around the steel cylinders, the concrete being reinforced with one-inch steel rods.

commissioners have about come to the conclusion that the failure of the piers was due to a tremendous pres sure caused by gradual slide of the earth against the piers, the ground being very unstable at that point. The piers rest on solid rock, but the weight of the earth which had slid against them was so great that it bent them.

SYMPATHY FOR A BACHELOR
Never Since History Of Man Bsgsn
has He Been the Marked MRn
He 10 Today Ia Europe.

If single men continue TO be
singled out a. victims for tax collec-
torG and recruiting SergeSnts, the
great trinity of human rights will
be changed to read, "life, liberty and
matrimony." For where -ean the
bachelor find happiness in a world
that marks his income as the first
to be seized by q rapacious state and
his precious person as the first to be
exposed to the enemy's bullets?
Never since the history of man be-
gan has the bachelor been the marked
man he is today, writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle asserts. In England
Premier Asquith's famous promise
was given to the married men, the
conscription bill excerpts the married
men, the state supports the wives and
children of enlisted married men. In
France the state supports not only
the legally established wives but
those whom soldiers acknowledge as
their "wives," the assumption being
that the legal ceremony will follow
when the war comes to an end. Thus
even the man who promises to be-
come married is favored by the state.
And as for taxes, the bachelor has
long been the victim of his own dis
cretion. Even Uncle Sam, who is
the least given to making
invidious distinctions among his citi-
zenry, grants the married man a
81, 900 exemption on the income tax.
in Europe the discrimination
against the bachelor is much more
marked-so marked, in fact, that
bachelorhood is more of a luxury
than limousine.

Broom Corn Waste

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 29.-West-
ern Kansas farmers have found
a material for silage in the waste
from the broom corn grown in
that section, according to E. M.
Dean of Morton county. For
many years the broom corn
stalks have been regarded as
practically worthless but expert
ments made last year show the
stalks and leaves have good food
value for live stock. The broom
corn crop in the western part of
the state was only fair but the
price for the brush is very high.
Ordinarily the stover is not
worth much, or has not been re-
garded as of any value. When
the farmers were getting half a
ton of brush that sells for ninety
dollars a. ton they did not care
much for the stover that grew
on that acre of land.
But some of the farmers who
have been growing broom corn
and also doing a little dairyine
are trying an experiment in us.
ing the broom corn stalks anC
leaves as silage. Some of then
are using is as a straight silage
while others are simply mixing
the broom corn with kafir OF
= milo or any other sorghums they
have handy for making silage
The broom corn has a broad lea.
and usually has rather a heavy
stover. 1t may develop that thu
stover is worth several dollars -;
ton as cattle feed where hereto
fore it has been regarded al
practically worthless and tn,
plant was grown for the brusl
and the stover was plowed un
der.

MYSTERY OF THE BLACK cow
InsSHIous Example Of Means Usod by
German Scouts In FrNnce for Com
mHnieatlns information.

A particularly ingenious example
Of the methods employed by German
scouts IN France for communicating
information TO their troops has been
reported from France. 1t appears
that The German intelligence depart
ment took an idea or two from the
gypsies, who have code of signs
that they write on walls and fences
as they pass along, for the informa-
tion Of other members of their clan.
.A-favorite sign with the Germans
has been black COW. That animal,
roughly sketched in black crayon on
walls, gates and fences, was fire.
quently noticed by the French as
they passed, and was so crudely
drawn that at first it aroused no sus-
picion. Sometimes it was small,
sometimes large, now rampant, now
couchant, and often the horns were
ridiculously long in comparison with
the rest of the animal. But it was
not case of bad drawing. The only
things that mattered were the size
and the direction in which it faced.
The French officers discovered the
secret of this system of signals.
A little COW signified that the road
was only weakly defended moder-
ate-sized COW meant that the allied
troops were in the neighborhood; a
large COW was a warning that there
were earthworks or trenches near by. |
The direction in which the cows
head pointed indicated where the
danger lay. If it pointed into the
air, that meant that the Germans
had better reconnoiter the ground by |
aeroplane before advancing.

Newsprint Paper Data

Washington.-In an effort to
determine whether there is a
conspiracy of jobbers or manu-
facturers, or both, to keep up the
price of newsprint paper the fed
eral trade commission will start
public hearings at the depart
ment of commerce December IL.
The date was selected after a
conference with the officers of
the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association, which
charged that the present exorb-
itant price of the commodity was
due to such a combination.
The hearings, at which will be
heard newspaper publishers,
manufacturers and jobbers of
newsprint paper, and others, will
be the final work of the commits
sion before issuing it's report, on
which it has been working for
several months. The report, it
is said, tends to show that the
price of newsprint paper is un-
warranted, since the increase in
prices is out of all proportion to
the cost of manufacture, which,
for the first six months of the
present year, did not increase at
all.
The commission, in view of
statistics collected, is holding
the hearing to give the manufac-
turers and jobbers an opportuni-
ty to present their side of the
case. Their explanation, in all
probability, will be made part
of the report, which already has
been written, and is in type,
awaiting revision before publ
cation.
If, at the hearings, it is de-
termined that the manufacture
ers and jobbers have been in con-
spiracy to keep up or to ad-
vance the price of paper, the
facts will be turned over to the
department of justice for action.
The officials of that department
then will determine whether to
bring action against the Offend
ers under the antitrust laws.

SEVERE TEST FOR WATCHES
During Competition at Royal observa-
tory, Greenwich, Chronometers
Given Turn In Oven.

Only the best-made chronometer
would ever survive the tests made at
the Royal observatory, Greenwich.
Usually there are about two hundred
watches under examination for use
in the royal navy. On certain occa-
sions there is a complete trial of
chronometers open to all makers
who have sufficient confidence in
their watches being able to withstand
the severity Of the tests.
During the competition the PATCHES
are exposed to every possible 1aria-
tion Of temperature. They are baked
in furnaces sufficiently hot to cook a
joint.
In fact, so great is the heat that a
badly made watch has been known
to tumble to pieces during the bak-
ing test. The moment a watch is
taken out of the oven it is plunged
into mixtures registering 40 degrees
Of frost.
To such perfection has the manu-
facture of some chronometers at
tanned that even the most stringent
tests fail to cause the slightest varia-
ton.

MOST FAITHFUL OF FRIENDS
Love of Dog, Once Gained, Is Never
Forfeited, Though Fortune May
Smile or Frown.

A dog worthy of the name is Of all
animals that walks on two legs or on
four the creature least affected by the
mutations of fortune, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger. Caesar" in the
funeral cortege of King Edward VII,
was not more sorrowfully proud of his
place than a dog faithful at the grave
of a tinker whom he has followed
In all weathers. Your dog does not
regard your clothes nor explore your
pockets. He takes you on faith
blind faith; you are his king, incap-
able of wrong. He reads his heaven
on earth in your approving counte-
nance.
No ribbon or medal can take the
measure of the sentiment of the true
dog lover toward his most faithful
friend of all. When the rest of the
world is cold and hard his dog will
still rejoice to meet him when he
comes home at night. His dog will
think no evil, whatever the master may
do. 1t is wonderful thing for a man
to experience q trust so absolute and
SO unfaltering. Who shall call it q
dumb brute whose eyes and paws are
SO eloquent and whose love speaks
in q look?
