POST0FFICE RECEIPTS
 SHOW STEADY INCREASE
Gr0wtll of Business at Local Office Indicates Prosperity and
 Progress of City.

Receipts at the Pine Bluff post office continue to show an increase over the period year ago, and especi- ally is the showing good when it is remembered that month after month, the comparison makes evident that the increase is steady and constant.
 The January receipts showed an eX- ceptionally large increase, as com pared with January. 1915. Receipts for December. 1915, were slightly lar ger than for the same month in 1914, despite the fact that there had been a material reduction in parcel post rates, which went into effect on January 1, 1915. December. 1914. was favored. therefore. but there was a heavier business handled in Decem- Der. 1915, hence the decrease in the rates was more than made up by the increase in the business.
 In the three months, December, January and February, this year shows an aggregate gain of $1.37o.94 over the same period year ago. De- cember, 1915, showed receipts Of $5,= S25. against s5,S17.36 for December, 1914. The other months were as fol- lows:

The following from the booklet on

I'm examining a battery that ap-
pears to-: be dead, hydrometer sy-

YThis test should be made before add

prove to be lower than 1875 it is ne
cesarry to have the battery recharg-

the battery is not to weak by doing

Queen Piebe Mercedes, Agar.
Old Holstein Heifer, Is Cham
pion of Her Are.
pion of Her Age.

Moorhead, Aug. 14-Queen Piebe
Mercedes, a 4-year-old Holstein heifer,
owned by E. c. Shredder of Moorhead,
has just broken the worlds record for
both milk and butter production. At
the present time she nets the owner
of this famous Holstein farm $500
annually.
Queen now has the record of being
the worlds champion 4-year-old over
all breeds and the worlds champion
milk and butter COW over all ages
and all breeds. She was bred and
developed by Mr.. Schroeder at his
farm east of here. Among cattle
men she is known as the worlds
greatest cow and now, with the new
record established, she surely has
claim to the title.
The milk produced by this COW has
been selling in Moorhead and Fargo
for ten cents per quart. Her record
Of 30,230 pounds of milk annually, is
equal to $4,000 quarts. At ten cents
per quart, this amounts to $500. 1t
is quite hard to imagine such an in
come from one cow but that is the
case with this one. Sons of worlds
champions are in great demand as
herd sires and this heifer has two
that have sold for almost unbeliev-
able prices. Ex-Gov. Stubs Of Kan
sas owns one son and Elliott Bros.
of Woodward, Iowa, own the other.
Only two other cows in the world
have produced like amount of milk.
These were both mature cows. (Ma-
ture COWS are over five years of age).
No other COW has ever produced go
900 pounds of milk. The worlds cham
pion butter COW in the full aged class,
exceeds Queen by a few pounds in
butter but falls short nearly 5000
pounds in milk.

Texas and it is true to its name. On
our hike, last Friday. we passed real.

thing that has caused the most dis
satisfaction with this country so far.
We have had quite a little light
sickness in camp since we landed,
but do not think it has been from
any poisoning or the many other
causes chalked up. My opinion is the
inability OF some to adjust themselves
to this climate readily. Especially
when all we get to eat is government
straight. Co. A is not as fortunate
as other companies in having a mess
fund to buy green vegetables and 9TH

some day we will be. more fortunate.

There was discussion today of the
possibility of the president being
chief arbitrator in the dispute, but his
position was understood to be that he
has not the time. There was a pos
sibility that instead he might name
the so-called neutrals on the board.
The presidents first conference
was with the representatives OF the
men,; The conference lasted two
hours. Mr.. Garretson did most of the
talking for the employees. Mr.. Car
retson pointed out, it is understood,
that the only concrete proposal made
in the entire dispute had come from
the men, and said they felt that be-
fore they took further steps they
should be advised what attitude the
employers will assume, and stand or
fall on. He argued that the railroads
summoned the mediators to New
York and that they had no mediation
proposal to submit. Sufficient time
has elapsed since the strike was first
suggested and enough delay has en-
sued, Mr.. Garretson is understood to
have declared, to permit the railroads
to submit any sort of an unqualified
proposal which they might have in
mind. ,E
Many questions regarding the situa-
ton were asked by the president and
the brotherhood representatives were
impressed by his grasp of the situa-
ton.
