THE BIG PROBLEM.

 Small cotton crops brinc more money than large ones. This is not 9Diy true of the entire crop. but it "pples as well to the individual. If every man who expects to plant to r aeyufe loo bales of cotton this fall

MFLVLLE'S COMEDIANS
 ERECTING TENT IN PRESCOTT

The Melville Comedians today be- gan erecting their tent in the lot near the Iron Mountain passenger sta ton. This is one of the most popu- lar companies that has ever visited Arkansas and for the past several months have been filling an engage ment in Little Rock, playing there to full houses longer than any other company.
 c. A. Bell, advance agent, is here today and announces that this com pany will open a weeks engagement in Prescott beginning March 9th. The company is in Conway this week, Malvern next week and will reach here the following week.
 Since the destruction of their tent in Little Rock they have been show ing in theatres and the tent being erected in Prescott at this time IS a new one as is all of the scenery and other equipment.

sibiity of domestic sources consum ing large crop.
 On the other hand, the demand for flood crops bids fair to increase. Corn land wheat and oats, hogs and cows and chickens, bid fair to be even high CT next fall than they have been be- fore. Foreign nations can and will have these products, and we also have 10O, 100000 people in this country to feed. In other words, the outlook is bullish on everything to eat. While it may not be decidedly bearish on cotton, it can easily be made so with a big yield this year.
 If farmers of the south increase their cotton acreage this year at the expense of feed and food crops they will buy food this fall at record high prices and pay fer it out of low priced cotton.
 The safe and sane thing to do is to grow enough of feed and food for home use and some to spare for the market. Any product of diversified farming can be sold at good price this fall, and even if it could not. the added value of cotton which comes from small yield would justify the selling of any surplus grain at low prices. Corn and COW peas, gardens and chickens and more live stock will solve the problem.-Commercial Ap- peal.

GOLDEN RIBBON, BIG SHOWS
 AND CRADLES ARE POPULAR

Gold ribbon, which is nearly vel low, is used as trimming on many of the prettiest white gowns. Circles of this shade and large shoulder bows are the only adornment on some of the newer white frocks for evening wear.
 Colored tunics, mostly in blocked Georgette crepes, are covering rather close-ftting underskirts.
 Accordion plaited narrow skirts are forming the skirts of gowns over which fit very straight middy blouse in Georgette crepe.
 Under a tunic of split taffeta, seen in one model, was a tight net under skirt over which ruffled, about two inches apart, shirred taffeta bands. Cascades of iounces, so popular in the early sos, are feature of spring skirts.
 Bodices, basque like, bordering on the 1880 style, are fashion revivals
 Skirts for spring and summer will be longer.

The placers yielded $2, ,25O,OOO and the gold mine about $1,150,000 but the rich ore was exhausted in a few years and for over 40 years desultory pros pecting for other ore bodies was car ried on without notable results. In recent years prospecting based on the geologic relations of the old ore body resulted in the discovery of new body of rich ore, which has yielded nearly $250,000 in 10 months and is still producing.

Specific Terms Not Named.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The absence
of any specific terms for peace in the
German note or in the German chan
cellor's speech was in measure a
disappointment to those who expected
some concrete expression of a basis
on which negotiations might begin.
Advices from Berlin to the German
embassy Indicate, however, that Ger
many's peace terms. in general meas
ure. propose the restoration of the
status quo before the war, with the
exception of the establishment of in
dependent kingdoms of Poland and
Lithuania.
They are understood to propose the
complete restoration of the occupied
portions of Belgium and France in re-
turn for Germany's captured colonies
and to dispose Of the Balkan situation.
because OF its extremely complicated
nature, in the peace conference.
"In the note the four allied (central)
powers propose to enter forthwith on
peace negotiations The propositions
which they bring for such negotiations
propriate for the establishment of a
lasting peace.
"The governments at Vienna, Con
stantinople and Sofia transmitted
identical notes and also communicat-
ed with the holy see and all neutral
powers"
The German pence offer was almost
the sole topic of discussion at the din
ner TO the Cabinet given by President
and Mrs. Wilson.
Eight On" Kaiser Orders Armies.
London.-A Central News dispatch
from Amsterdam says it is announced
officially in Berlin that Emperor VIII
liam has notified his commanding gem
erals of Germany's peace offer and has
informed them it IS still uncertain
whether the offer wiz be accepted.
Until that uncertainty is ended, the
message says. they are to fight on.
Germany's move for peace comes
just two years and 1873 days after she
declared war on Russia and two years
and 129 days after England declared
war on Germany.
