PORTLAND, Sept. 1.-THE world
Is short Of wheat. The weeks tran
sactions in the various markets indi-
Gated this quite clearly. The huge
wheat crop that Europe was so much
inclined to talk about early in the
season has dwindled until prevailing
figures for the output are about the
smallest for many years. Every day
recently there has been a gradual
lowering Of European wheat crop es-
Inmates.
New high price records were estab-
l.shed for the season to date in the
Portland market during the week and
a smaller trend was shown In the
Chicago trade Europe was disposed
at times to bunk" the advances on
this side Of the pond, but invariably
exporters we're forced to pay the
price demanded In fact foreign TAX
ings OF American wheat during the
last 10 days have established a high
record.
AZ intervals there has naturally
trade at most points during the week.
None were scared by this fact. Tho
exporters who had purchased grain at
higher prices did not rush pell-mell
into the selling ring. No such thing.
They realized full well that the statis-
tical position OF the market was gain
ing strength every day instead of los
ing It, They realized that after all
Chicago is speculative market and
option prices there bob up and down
with the changing whims Of specu-
lative interests The big spectators
were not scared; they simply were
quietly taking up the wheat that the
small scared traders were dumping

AS one Chicago writer expressed II.
IT'S a long ways TO the Dardanelles"
and the fact that some OF the inter-
csted parties have persisted in bring.
ing in the straits as a market factor
really means nothing except a desire
on the part OF these traders to scare
the other fellow into selling-and

DAYS and II the bears can bring forth
a bearish rumor to aid their cause, |
they are going to do II,
The fact Of the matter is that II Is |
not likely that the Dardanelles will |
have much consideration In the wheat
trade Of the world, even though they |
are opened At least the effect will |
be a passing one for the reason that
the Russian wheat crop is not nearly |
rs heavy as normal and II would take
long time for the wheat 20 get into |
the worlds trade.
Coarse Grains Arc Firm.
The market for coarse grains re-
tains liberal strength for the weeks
trading Barley market showed the
effects Of smaller crop and a wider
demand and values were accordingly |
lifted rather literally. on the other i
hand, the oats trade held we'll despite
the rather free offerings Of supplies
by the Willamette valley, where the
crop is a record one.

RIVER AFFECTS WATER.

High water in the Arkansas river occurring at the same time with a low stage in Cadron creek for the past several days has overtaxed the filtration plant of the Conway water works system and the water in the mains is tinged with a muddy color at present. Supt. E. V. Leverett stated that all the alum permissible IS being used to clarify the water in the filters, but the maximum is in sufficient to render the water entire ly clear. The river is falling today and the water will soon be entirely clear again, he stated. The present condition, MT. Leverett says, again emphasizes the need of installing large settling basins at the pumping station, in which two or three weeks supply of water, pumped while the Cadron creek is clear, could be kept at all times, making it unnecessary to draw the supply from the creek when it is backed up with muddy river water.

SHOWS FINE SAMPLES
 OF WHEAT AND RYE
Lawrence E. Halter of Near Conway is One of the States Original
 DiversificatiOn Farmers.

Lawrence E. Halter, well known farmer living one mile east of Con- way, brought to Conway today speci- mems of Abruzzi rye and Miracle wheat which he has just threshed out. Both these varieties of grain have but recently been introduced, the rye having been brought here from Rus sia. From 40 pounds sowed on a scant acre of poor land, MT. Halter harvested 16 1-2 bushels of screened rye. All of it will be kept for seed, it being worth at least $2 per bushel for that purpose. The wheat will also be sold for seed, MT. Halter says, most of it having already been engaged at $1.50 per bushel. The wheat is of the hard variety, grading No. l and will weigh fully 60 pounds to the bushel. Four acres of it pro- duced an average of 19 1-2 bushels to the acre.
 For years before the agitation for diversified crops in the south became general MT. Halter was practicing diversifcation. His farm, which is probably the most valuable upland per acre in the county, is marvel to all who have visited it. On it can be found practically every grain, fruit, berry or vegetable that can be grown in this climate-with the ex- ception of cotton, which he rarely if ever grows. Besides this he grows fine livestock and poultry. By care full selection of both seed and soil, fertilization, etc, MT. Halter raises the finest of everything that can be produced, and practically all of his surplus crops are sold at fancy prices for seed purposes, while his surplus livestock and poultry in the same manner are sold for breeding purposes. MT. Halter has recently completed a handsome new home on his farm and has on it every modern convenience.

FAREWELL PLANNED
 FOR SOLDIER BOYS

Little Rock, June 29.-Thousands of friends and relatives of the Ar kansas soldiers soon to leave for Mexico and war will participate in farewell exercises at Little Rock, July 4, which is to be largely holi- day for the soldiers stationed at Fort Roots. An opportunity will be given the troops to mingle with their friends and relatives from home and the boys in kakhi will be the special guests of Little Rocks business men on that day. They will be rendered barbecue, will be guests at the ball game, and have other attentions showered upon them. The troops will participate in prize drills by companies for prizes ranging from $1O0 down. The troops will form the most important unit of the big pre- paredness parade, and will be the center of attraction in the biggest fourth of July celebration the state has ever held.

TESTS C0NWAY'S
 FIRE EQUIPMENT

Tests of the fire-fghting efficiency of the Conway waterworks system and an inspection of the fire equipment of the city were made here yesterday by D. s. McLaurin of Little Rock, in- spector of the improved risk depart ment of the Arkansas Actuarial Bu- reau. After visiting the pumping station, reservoir and going over the water system, MT. McLaurin made tests of the pressure from fire hy- drants in the business district. The electric pressure valve at the foot of the hill on which the reservoir is To- cated was found to be in perfect work ing order. Within 50 seconds after the switch operating the valve had been thrown in at the light plant the pressure was raised from 32 pounds to 80 pounds to the square inch. Tests were also made of the nozzle pressure with varying lengths of hose and with different numbers of connec- tions.
 MT. McLaurin recommended that in fighting fires the number of hose con- nections be reduced to two and that these be made at different hydrants whenever possible and the water con- veyed through the shortest possible length of hose. Friction through the hose reduces the pressure from 10 to 15 pounds for every 100 feet the water is carried, MT. McLaurin stated, and where two connections are made from the same hydrant the pressure is al most cut in half. It is much more effective to throw two, or even only one solid stream of water at high pressure on a fire, than to split it up an dreduce the pressure, he said. Water thrown at low pressure, he stated, tends to scatter and fall on the fire in separate drops.
 MT. McLaurin did not state what his report on the situation here would be or whether any change of insur- ance rates would likely follow his in- vestigation, but he apparently con- sidered the service and equipment here fully up to the standard of other Arkansas towns of the same size.

CRIMINAL APPEAL
 CASES CLEANED UP

Little Rock, June 29.-The attor- ney generals office will go into the supreme court on Monday morning with every criminal case which is pending there on appeal ready for submission. In the past week it has been necessary for Hamilton Moses, deputy attorney general, to brief over 25 cases in order to clean up the docket. Seven cases will be submit ted on Monday, and all will probably be decided on the following Monday, after which the supreme court will recess for the summer months.

LOCAL DRUG STORE MAKES
 BIG DEAL
Secures Agency For Hays Specific.

Announcement is made that the Greeson Drug Company of Conway has succeeding in landing" the local agency for Hays Specific, the great system tonic, which is so genuinely beneficial as remedy for rheumatism that J. T. Jones, of Clossland, Ky, says:
 To anyone suffering from Sciatica, l will say I was afflicted with it for about three months. I tried half a dozen remedies and got no relief. My family physician could not benefit me and said I might not be able to walk in 12 months. l could not sit down to eeat, nor walk. I took one bottle of Hays Specific and went to blowing. 1 have never been bothered with it since. No one can estimate its value for chronic sciatica. My neighbors said it would return, but it has been two years and I have no symptoms of it.
 Hays Specific, the great system tonic, is sold and fully guaranteed by Greeson Drug Co. of Conway.-Adv.
