One car OF zinc, 10000 pounds, was
shipped during the past week by Cook
& Mccoy from Harrison. Three cars
of zinc, 259,0o0 pounds. were shipped
from Pindall by J. c. Shepherd & Co.
Ono car of zinc, $4,000 pounds was
shipped from Gilbert by ]. C. Shep-
herd & Co. Shortage OF cars has
kept down the shipments. Howard &

of ore ready for shipment. Shepherd

of the shortage of box cars.

is the largest ever constructed in the
north Arkansas zinc and lead field,
has capacity of 900 tons per 10-hour
shift. The mine is located on 40
acre lease and is one of the Oldest

ing the Civil war by the Confederates,
supplying large part of their lead

muniIion. w. E. Everhart, we'll
known Joplin superintendent, is in ac-

the features of the development was
the distance they had to go for water

self and to the soldiers and sailors to
become a member of the Red Cross. A
campaign Is being carried on to enlist
100000 new members OF the Amer
lean Red Cross. which will make it five
times as large and ten times as rich
and powerful as any other Red Cross
in the world.
1t is because of the millions and mil
liens of American boys who are going
over to France that the whole Amer
lean people has got TO join the Red
Cross in helping care for them. A few
hundred thousand can be looked after
by the present membership; but multi
ply them by ten or twenty or twenty

fix up the Christmas packets, and write
the little personal note that goes with
each one, and picture to ones self the
pleasure with which the unknown sol

the brave fellows who went down fight

slain in the submarine brushes with
the Germans there was not the over
whelming grief that comes after every
great battle.
Next year it will be different-so
different. In the spring-and earlier
if the French line should break at any
point-Pershing will hurl his boys into
the gap. and everybody knows what
that means. There will be fighting
of the kind that made whole world
admire the men of Bull Run. and An
tietam, and Charlottesville, and
Chickamauga. and Gettysburg. and
wherever Americans have fought.
They will be pitted against foe who,
and cruelty, his disregard of the laws
of humanity and the ordinary decen-
cies of civilized life, is hard fighter.
That means that the hospital will be
full of American boys whose lives de-
pend on the work the Red Cross must
do-for there is no other agency that
can wait on them. 1t means bandages

Arkansas rice and its by-producta
now promise to enter wider field
of commercial use by reason of the
solution of the problem of compress
ing the straw to density that will
permit of its economical handling An
nouncement of the successful mechan-
ical tests to bring this sbount was
made at Stuttgart by w. r Beattie,
agricultural commissioner for the Cot
ton Belt railway, who has been cor.
ductirg COMPRISING experiments In
the Arkansas rice districts around
Stuttgart for nearly five years.
Almost simultaneously with the per.
lection of the new compress comes
ready market for the straw as a feed
in the drouth-stricken districts of
Texas. Dealers and brokers OF that
state within the last few DAYS have
visited the Stuttgart and Dewitt ter
ritory, offering from $3.50 to $40 a ton
for all bright and dry straw that can
be shipped to them from now until
February Is.
Mr.. Beattie explained that the az
vantage of the compress lies in the
fact that equal to two ordinary car
loads can be shipped in one car, thus
increasing the utility OF cars. He said
If the Texas demand is supplied this
year, the Arkansas rice farmers will
be able to hold the market for future
years, and while the same conditions
may not prevail there will be an in
creasing demand for the straw, as its
value as a feed becomes known. Great
quantities of the stray is now being
shipped to government camps; ana
this demand will increase during the
winter months, so that there can be
little doubt regarding the market for
all straw available
