LANDS TOP PRICE FOR COTTON.
Three Bales Sold at 2S.S0 and Jack
 Connally Says His Wife Did It.

Jack Connally was in from Rocky Wednesday, with three bales of cot ton, which he sold on the market at 2S.S0 cents a pound. j. H. Combs had an interest in part of this cotton, having cropped land on Mr. Con- nally's farm.
 But the feature is that Jack gives his wife full credit for the high price, as he and his brother, c. B., have done in years past. They both assert that their wives are the champion cotton pickers of the country, and that this is the reason the cotton buyers always make a rush to get their cotton.
 Anyhow, they generally get the price.
 Moral: Be sure and properaly train your wife and start early so as to get all the profits.

GOVERNMENT PRICE SETTING.

The Star has watched with a good deal of interest the effect of the ef- forts of the government to regulate prices. and it must be confessed that, to date, the results have not seemed of much value to the peo- pie most affected.
 Take coal for instance.
 Lying before the writer is an or der for n ear of coal, dated July %, i9i6 which was accepted and shipped by company that supplies customers in Mena territory.
 The price was Sis5 per ton at the mine.
 On May :, 1917, the same company asked s3 per ton for the same pro- duet enclosing with the letter cir cular in which it was stated that an advance of 20 per cent in the wages of miners was responsible for the high price.
 II must be agreed that a jump from si.S5 to s3 was pretty stiff on that basis.
 And now the government has as sumed charge of the price making and the consumer pays S3.20 a ton at the mine.
 Add to this the sl.io per ton the railroad charges for the haul to Mena, the other costs of handling and profit to the retailer, and it is easy to see why fuel is high
 In truth. 1t seems that in this gov ernment price setting. the fellows that are organized, and get in the game to boost their own profits, have the long pole and knock the persimmons."

Washington Oct. l0- Further ex- position of former German Ambas- sadar Count yon Bernstor1s activi- ties in tine United states was made this morning by Secretary of state Robert Lansing, who made public three telegrams which passed be- tween the ambassador and the Ger man foreign office.
 The statement by Secretary Lan- sing follows:
 'rhe secretary of state publishes the following two telegrams from the German foreign office to Count won Bernstorff in January, 1916:
 January 3. Secret. The general staff desires energetic action in re- gard to the proposed destruction of the Canadian Pacific railway at sev- eral points with the view to the complete and protracted interrup- tion of traffic. Captain Boehm, who lis known on your side, and who is shortly returning, has been given instructions. Inform military at tache and provide the necessary funds.
 Signed Zimmermann.

John P. Heating, Michigan Ave, Chicago; three. Jeremiah O'Leary, No. l6, Park Row. New York.
 Numbers one and two are ab- solutely reliable and discreet. Num- Der three is reliable. but not always discreet.
 These persons were indicated by Sir Roger Easement.
 In the United States, sabotage can be carried out on every kind of factory for supplying munitions of war. Railway embankments and bridges must not be touched. The embassy must in no circumstances be compromised. Similar present must be taken in regard to the Irish pro-German propaganda. Signed B
 Representative of General Staff.'
 The following message from Count von Bernstorff to the foreign office in Berlin was sent in Septeni- Der, 1916:
 September i5. With reference to report A. N 266, of May 10, 1916, the embargo conference in regard to those earlier fruitful cooperation Dr. Hale can give information. He is just about to enter a vigorous campaign to secure a majority in both houses of congress favorable to Germany and requests further support.
 There is no possibility of our being eompromiseG. Request tele- graphic reply"
 The publication of the German foreign offices message referring to Jeremiah O'Leary caused smiles of grim satisfaction at the White House.
 II was recalled that during the late presidential campaign. OLeary. as president of the American Truth Society wired the president and many other Americans that he wouldn't vote for Wilson on account |of his international policy.
 The president wired from his summer home, under date of Sep temher 29, 1916, as follows;
 Your telegram received. I would feel deeply mortified tc have you or anybody like you. vote for me. Since you have access to many disloyal Americans and I haven't, I will ask you to convey this message to them. '

The subscriptions for the second Liberty Loan are coming in slowly. Uncle Sam must have the money to carry on the war, and if the people do not subscribe enough they cer- tainly will be taxed to make up the deficiency. Besides that Liberty Bond, bearing i per cent interest, and non-taxable. is a good invest ment, The purchasing of bond is a good way to lay up something for that rainy day

Work on Constructive Side.

It looks as II the conservative man
who will do everything in his power u
strengthen his present resources b. wise
economies and by throwing out the bad
things and preserving the good things
will be the man who will profit in the
end. But just now the idea OF p:ofts
she uld be submerged to a greater extent
than Is noted in many places of business.
with the view In mind of giving the best
to the Government just as our soldiers
in the fielc. are preparing to give their
best to the Government. The man who
does that will be working on the con-
structive side Of the country.
That's the side everybody should toll
for. With a mighty pull together for
the protection of the nation, our indus
tries and our vested funds will be safe
guarded for the period of the war and
the Gays when war shall be no more.
Enormous expenditures for war must
be expected. Wall Street and the bust.
ness world are not developing panic
because they suddenly have awakened to
the fact the cost OF war is to run into
many billions of dollars beyond the early
estimates, but they are in the dark as
to what the, ultimate effect will be upon
business profits and money market con-
ditions.
There are some economists who tell
us II this war Is to be financed largely
on borrowed money-that is, from the
proceeds of bond sales-lnhation in
prices for commodities. money aud
stocks will follow, while no the other
hand, we are tol6 that II taxation is to
be the main source OF war financing
then trade depression and lower prices
for commodities and stocks will develop.
Market Talk.
And then there are others who insist,
no matter how much money the Govern
nent may spend. the movement OF prices
for stocks will not carry the general list,
either this year or next year, materially
above the average level In to-day's mar
ket. In other words, as one Wall Street
house put II last week. the debating fac
tors will have greater bearing upon
the stock market than the Initiating fac
tors will have.
At the moment there is no good
reason why there should be a great for
ward movement In the general stock
market. while there Is no good reason
why n big bear market should come into
being. To many observers II looks more
like a dull neutral market than any
other kind, with certain groups OF stocks,
however. moving under arguments with
no particular bearing upon the general
situation. From broad point OF view
II might be suggested that real bull
market could hardly be counted upon In
a period prolific with uncertainties and
in a period when the cost OF production
