HIGH PRICES
 NOT YET STARTED
B. p. KIDD BELIEVES THEY ARE GOING TO BE MUCH HIGHER ON EVERYTHING TO BE
 WORN OR TO BE EATEN.

q have become convinced that our present high prices are no high prices at all" stated B. P. Kidd on Monday morning just after hearing that cot ton had jumped $5 per bale T am convinced that we are going to pay prices that will seem almost prohibis tive. for anything to eat or to wear before many months have passed.
 "Mr. Thomas Doyle, representing our company, the Doyle-Kidd Dry Goods Company, has just returned from New York, and brings back any thing but encouraging news. He in- forms me that he was told by one of the leading manufacturers of woolen goods in the United States, that the representatives of the goyernmnt had within the past few days taken an in- ventory of this plant, with the pros pect of taking it over and operating It on government supplies. Other big plants are in the same situation, and if the leading ones are used to manu- fracture supplies for the army, where are the civilians going to get their supplies?
 "We are patriotic and want the army to be supplied, but just the same we cannot help but thank ourselves for buying so heavily before the War scare became a war in reality

FOOD TOURISTS
 OVER THE COUNTY
EFFORTS MADE TO SECURE Di. INVESTIGATION AND TO INDUCE FARMERS TO BRING PRO-
 DUCE TOsTHE CITY.

The tours of the county made this week by representatives of the Prof. table Farming Committee and other interests working for food prepared ness, with the mass meetings held at the school houses at night, have been productive of much good. There were over 250 boosters, including 27 wo- men, in the parties Monday and Tues day, and they visited 2,500 homes in Pulaski county.
 There were eleven parties in 50 automobiles who left the Board of Commerce Monday morning, and Tues day night there were meetings at Jacksonville, Barron School, Ebenez- CT, Vaughan's School and Tate's Mill. Wednesday night there were meetings at Tipton School, Olmstead, Woodson, Wrightsville and Cato, and there were five meetings each night the rest of the week.
 w. J. Jernigan, state agent, is en- listing boys from 10 to IS years of age in the food campaign and each one is asked to raise at least one acre ot some staple crop.
 The Union Trust Company has agreed to aid in a plan suggested by County Agents M. c. Graham and E. L. Dean to furnish the Pulaski county boys about $2,000 worth of hogs for breeding purposes.
 Louis Altheimer, of the Altheimer Dry Goods Company, offers the use of lots in Altheimer Addition, at the end of the Pulaski Heights car line, free of charge for persons who desire to raise gardens.
 There is great interest being taken by the City Federation of Clubs and Mrs. Arthur L. Alexander in the estah- lishment of a curb market at, some convenient place in Little Rock, where the farmers may sell their produce. The market established at the Arcade has already demonstrated what can be done. It is opened Friday and Sat urday mornings from to il o'clock. Over 300 customers were present Sat urday and bought 250 dozens of eggs. S5 pounds of butter and other produce amounting to about $135.

MODEL COTTON
 PLANTER TO COME
DESIGNER OF INDIANA SEEDING COMPANY VISITS ARKANSAS AND LARGE COTTON
 PLANTATIONS.

During the past week w. H. Bates, Company, of Richmond, Ind, spent several days in the vicinity of Arkan- sas, looking over the cotton fields, and interviewing cotton growers for the purpose of securing information which will give him an inspiration in designing cotton planter which Wiu give him an inspiration in designing cotton planter which will surpass anything now on the market.
 MT. Bates visited with N. w. Nell son, general agent for the Interna- tional Harvester Company, and in company with the local citizen went over the cotton fields in the Scotts vicinity.
 The visitor has designed most of the machinery for the American com pany, which has decided that the cot ed if there was seeder which would place the seed in the ground in such a way as to give it a running start,
 q and would increase the certainty of germination. MT. Bates was rather frank to admit that none of the plant CTS now in use in any way approaches the ideal, for all were designed years ago, and it is one of the few things in which there has not been marked i'm provement. He stated that everything else in agriculture has been improy- ed, and was now time the seeder was advanced, as it plays an important part in the growing of the fieecy sta pie.
 MT. Bates has visited Texas as well as the Southeastern States, and will take in the entire cotton belt before returning to Indiana to work out a new planter.

HICKORY SUWDUST
 IS IN DEMAND
CALIFORNIA PACKING PLANT WANTS A SUPPLY FROM AR KANSAS FOR PURPOSE OF
 SMOKING ITS MEATS.

From far away California canes all inquiry for hickory sawdust for use in curing meat. The inquiry is sent by the head of packing house which does fiourishing bcsiness in the Far West.
 Hickory wood is used almost excIu- sively in smoking meats, but the pack. ing plants which do this finishing to their hams in Arkansas. use the wood. The California concern has evidently discovered that sawdust is still nick ory, if it comes from hickory wood, and also that Arkansas is the state that turns out many hickory products. For that reason letter was sent to the Little Rock Board of Commerce, asking who could supply the demand.
 Several names have been forwarded to the manufacturing concern, with offers to supply hickory sawdust by the car load. and the name of the company will be eheerfully given to any others who desire it if they com municate with the Board of Com merce.

I entered Brushy Island from Nc Almont over bridge nearly 400 feet long across Trammel Lake. Both the lake and the bridge belong to Jno. H.. Lee. MT. Lee and his brother, Rufus, were both born on this island before the war, but were too young to enter it, but old enough to lose any oppor- tunity to secure an education. Their older brothers and sisters were all well educated and were active in ya- rious professional lines.
 During the war wild hogs, turkeys, deer, bear and smaller game as well as fish were very abundant on the is- land and they did not suffer for meat to eat, though they could not get salt to season it with.
 Now the game has practically dis appeared as well as the supply of acorns, hickory nuts and other mast and fruits on which it lived. A great many of the big trees left by the lum- Der men have died and the woods look like a deadening they say. There will be no mast, this year There has been such great change in the sea- sons that these old men think that the last days are upon us. That if the present war is the battle of Armaged- don, then the prophecy of famines in connection with it will also be full filled, hence they are urging their ten ants to plant as much foodstuff as they will Though they regard their sec. tion too thickly settled I regard it as the most inviting field for settlers I have seen in Pulaski county.

teen-yea<old steers down to two-year- olds. These old steers were kept by them as leaders. When an overflow threatened the bottoms those old steers woud start for the hills, but as they went, they would look back and below until the woods rang with their voices and the young cattle, when they heard them, knew it was time to leave and they followed their leaders. But for them many of their cattle would have drowned. They also raise many hogs on the range. They keep fat on the mast When the over flows go down many fish are left in shallow places so that when the mast is gone they have fish to feed on, and thus keep fat the year round. On account of the overflow many of the pigs become so wild that they cannot mark them and they can only be se- cured for meat with rife

The editor informed me Friday that I had written a column too much for last week and that he will have to use the extra column this week, as it is too good to leave out. Now, wouldn't that jar you? Too much to print but too good to leave out. That's one rea- son why I am not writing so much. Another reason is I've got lot of pretty girls and few ugly boys start ed to corresponding for the Pulaskian and have got leave plenty of room for their items. So I will have to leave out lots I would like to put in.

There are a number of comfortable homes on the island, Bayou Meto, Trammel Lake and other creeks en- tirely surround this section. Two of the creeks are very beautiful, pebbled bottomed, with many deep blue holes of water, which are fine fishing places.

Gravel Ridge, on R. 3, Jacksonville, is one of the most progressive com munities I have visited. There is no gravel in the community nor is it a ridge It is a valley with creeks on one side and hills on the other Kel- Iogg Creek and Bayou Meto furnish the valley land There is lots of fine timber, including white oak and cy- press. One of the Todds owns a good saw mill. Possibly the mill and tim Der are largely responsible for the prosperity and new improvements. There is a good outside range. J. D. Foster in digging a we'll found in the bottom of it some rotten coal, but the water rushed in so fast that he could not determine the extent of it. This is the only coal have heard of in Pu- laski county.

Jim is an important per sonage on the Island Last year an old goose stole a nest out and matched four goslings. They were given to Jim She was very proud of them m til they began to feather out. Then she showed them to her grandfather with the remark, "Granddaddy, my goslin's are turning to geeses."
 One of her small neighbors was corrected for calling an adult neigh bor, Tom, and was told that he was MT. Nichols. Walking all around him, examining him with critical eye, he remarked, He may be MT. Nichols, but he looks nightly like Tom to me J

We expect to buy some of these bonds for our own in vestment, and will be glad to place an order for you. And ii you haven't the money we will lend it to you. Already several people have requested us to get some for them. Do your duty by giving the order now. The bonds will be in amounts as low . as $100.

The road from Gravel Ridge runs along the banks of Bayou Meto for about three-quarters of mile, furnish ing good view of the cypress border ed creek. The Gravel Ridge people and those of Brushy Island are work ing earnestly for a road from the bridge across Brushy island to Barker on the Iron Mountain. The road is badly needed, and with the improve ments already made in both settle ments such road would be bound to result in yet more rapid improve ment of these two sections.
 In leaving Brushy Island I followed an almost due south course, practical ly all the way through the timber, until I reached the end of one of the street car lines in Argenta.
 No more scenic route could be found than this for a good rock road from Little Rock, and it would be a great thing if tht city would secure a strip of land from Argenta to Brushy Island for park and road.
