FARMERS LAUNCH
 THRIFT CAMPAIGN

Chicago, Aug. 17-An economy cam paign Of nationwide extent will be started by American farmers at th9 Fourth National Conference oil Marketing and Farm Credits called today to meet in Chicago, December Az at the Hotel Sherman. The cam paign will begin with practical plans for checking enormous wastages n marketing farm products. This an nual wastage is of billion dollar mag nitude, according to statement of general committee.
 "The root of it lies in defective local organization of farmers" says Secretary Charles w. Holman Of Madison, Wisconsin. "and the d9lega- tions will work out machinery for getting the local communities more tightly organized"
 Prior to the conference surveys will be made, under the direction of the committee, that will show tha move ment of crops such as livestock. grain hay, cotton and perishable products. The whole milk situation in its re- lation to city distribution problems will come in for a considerable share of attention.
 To bring out more vigorously the evils in the "pres5 nt wasteFul system ot handling farm products" the con- ference will conduct special hear ings open to the pubic. Local and general conditions will be taken up by competent witnesses and reme dies will be outlined.
 The rural credits section will ana lyze the scope and limitations of the Federal Farm Loan act so that the American farmer may know what to expect under it's terms. This section is to conduct hearings to develop facts as to the status in America of the farm tenant, the farm laborer and the immigrant in his relation to the land. The conference leaders expect the hearing to put the delegates in po- sitioa to sound the dominant chord in the formation of a comprehensive land policy for the United States. How to handle the immigrant and how to move landless men tc tthe land will be stressed. Economists, government, officials and leaders in industries de- pendent on farming will cooperate

EIGHT COLLECTORS
 DELAY SETTLEMENT


 Little Rock, Aug 17.-There are still eight counties, including Pulaski and Miller, that have not settled for the taxes of 1915. Under the law, the collectors arc given 15 days to settle after their settlements have been approved by the county courts, but no time is prescl ibed for the county courts to act. Many of them meet on the first Monday in July, and approve the settlements at that time, in which instances the limit Of settlements this year would have been July IS. Frequently however, set dement's are delayed until Sept. and even later.
 It has been suggested that some lcgislation on the subject to make settlements more uniform would be desirable, and to prevent such great Delays.

 Lunches then fired three shots with the intention, it was said. of killing himself Only one took effect, that producing slight flesh wound which was not discovered until he was taken to jail.
 No date has yet been set for his OK amining trial, and it was not an- nounccd wha' action military authori- ties would take.
 Physicians said today that the girl probably would recover, although her wound is regarded as serious.
 Clements comrades in the Second Virginia regiment showed so much concern over the shooting that officers deemed it advisable to maintain double guard at he camp during the night.
