 Company Making
 Many Improvements

The DAW owners or the llgnC plant gre doing a large amount of improvement on all their plants in the state, but especial ly in Ozark. They have opened an. s0ee in the w. c. Bill brick building and are installing fine furniture and are preparing to keep . full supply of light fix tures. Miss Alma Roach is cash iar fer the company and will be found in the office in charge at ~ times.
 They are replacing their poles with heavier ones and will run Sssads ip sections not now served. T6eS have placed a car of poles ia Alma. Dyer and Mulberry and will rswire those towns as well ,as Altus and Denning.
 They have decided not to es- tablish . central power plant as they considered doing at one tine. but improve their Ozark and Alma plants and abandon their Mulberry plant.
 They ane preparing to put in an ice plant in connection with their light plant. They have he'd the water from several wells asalised by Prof. Otto Martin of Fort Smith to ascertain if it is pure enough for ice.
 Every encouragement should be given them. as they are spanding thsir money freely to improve their service and benefit the town. Their rates are being adjusted on 2 more equitable hasis. The, minimum rate for Hgh&s has been reduced from ek5o Der month to $1.0O. This ia appreciated by the users and showu the fairness of the com pany. They are not receiving sneugh for lighting the streets end the city council will be aeked to raise the rate slightly. Ozark pays . third less than many towns smaller than this apa it seems reasonable and just that the rate be made more in accord with other towns and the sosyice rendered.
 We will be glad to see the citi- sens give this company their hearty support. Former own ers have failed to make it profit sbls and have been forced to quit It seems to be up to the cjtissus and council to get be- hind these people and secure busiqess for them.
 Oay service will be started in tho near future.

The Alarming
 Food Situation

All of Europe as well as warning countries-has been placed upon food rations. ty eke out supplies until the new crop is harvested. This country en- tered the present crop year last July with l64, 900, 900 of wheat carried over from the crop of 1915. and in 1916 produced 482, : 900. 900 bushels of winter wheat and l58, 900, 900 bushels of spring wheat; total supply BOA, 900, GOO bushels. This year there will be practically no wheat carried over and the governments esti- mate upon the winter crop fore casts a yield of only 430. 900, GOO. On this basis the spring wheat crop must be 214, 600, 900 bushels larger than last year in order to give us Q wheat supply equal to what we will export and consume in the crop year now closing. This is an alarming outlook. The spring wheat crop is notoriously subject to weather conditions. More spring wheat should be sown, but it is doubtful if the wheat shortage can be made up. Other food products must be grown to meet the deficiency.
 Our allies-B elgium. Great Britain, France and Italy--are dependant upon us for food. They will have no reserves and must have more from us in the coming year than in the past, or they will not be able to feed all their people. We must divide what we grow this year with these countries and with the neutral countries Holland, Den- mark, Norway Sweden, Switzer- land and Spain which are not self-sustaining in grain supplies. And not only must we supply enough te keep these people from starving. but enough to cover the heavy losses at sea which re- suit from the submarine war fare. If we grow no more food than we did last year-and so far the outlook is for less there is danger of a food situation such as the world in modern times has not dreamed of.
 No other country has the re- sources in land and population to meet this emergency but the United States.
 All other business de
 pends upon the growing
 of a big crop in America
 this year. There is no
 time to wait for orsani-
 zation from outside. The
 emergency can be met
 only by spontaneous ac-
 ton in every state coun.
 ty and school district.
 The country is aroused. but mere alarm will not accomplish results. There must be organ ized personal work, headed in every locality by men of force and influence.

CONTINUED HIGH
PRICE OF PAPER

charge two cents for papers cannot

meeting, the publishers and the paper
manufacturers, representing the

facturers' Association, voted to ap-
point a committee to meet immediate
ly after the delivery of the report on
the print paper situation next week
by the Federal Trades Commission to
see if knowledge gained from the re-
port does not point out a way to an
adjustment of the problem of the
high prices.
A hint of the possibility of prosecu-
ton of print paper manufacturers for
alleged violation of federal antitrust
laws, was said to have been contained
in the announcement by Joseph E.
Davies, member of the Fedora, Trades
Commission, who attended the meet
ing, that the commissioners have
turned over certain evidence" to the
department of justice" for action.
