Wheat.-The situation remained
practically unchanged. Receipts a.
primary points were moderate and II
was said that arrangements were being
made TO ship wheat from the Pacific
Coast 10 the Northwestern mills. The
weather in the Northwest was cold and
further apprehension was felt for the
safety of the new crop, which is nov
largely unprotected by snow covering.
Corn.-The impression prevailed in
the corn trade that government control
of the railroads should facilitate the
movement. The market showed q
steady UNDERGONE, and while the late
posit;ons declined Is to Sac the trade
was not inclined TO take chances on the
short side. 1t was thong t that sooner
or later the movement Of corn viii in
crease to a point where it may have a
pronounced influence on cash premiums
at least. Operators, however. have
been fooled so many times IN their
forecasts of lower prices on promises
of larger receipts that at the present
time they are disposed to be cautious
and wait until there is an actual IN
crease before taking an aggressive
stand on the short side.
Cash prices in the West were slightly
easier Yesterday, but high premiums
continue 10 hold and apparently the
December position will go out around
the maximum. The weather was slight
ly warmer over a large part OF the
belt, but another cold wave was pre-
dicted. On the Whole conditions we're
favorable for curing the new crop
and keeping it in condition, and some
adyices indicated improvement IN quail

good rains had fallen in the corn belt
Argentine shipments, however, we're
estim ated at only 100000 bushels for
the week, against 1,522,OOO last year.

Rev. Rolle Returns

Rev. w. A. Role and family re turned Monday from Mt Zion and Star City. where they have been for several weeks. and where Mir. Rolle conducted successful revivals.
 The following write up of the meet ing at Star City is copied from last Fridays issue of the Lincoln County Ledger:
 Despite the very hot and oppressive weather. the revival meeting which began here in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning draws good and attentive congregations
 Bro Holt the pastor commenced the services and did the preaching until Monday night when the Rev. w. A. Rolle of Dermott occupied the pulpit. and since then has done the preaching, entertaining the auditors with some mighty good. edifying gos pei sermons. Bro. Rolle Is a pulpit orator of much force. but his sermons are made so plain that he who runs cannot err in their meaning. While there have been no conversions up to date, he has made the unsaved who have heard him to give heed to the warnings of the scriptures God will not strive with man
 Revs Holt and Rolle hold short services every morning at 9:3o in one of the stores or other business places of the town The meetings have be come very popular and We think will result in much good for the Master.
 The earnestness, fathfulness and ucidity with which Bro Rolle ex- pounds the scriptures has awakened renewed zeal in the christians and a desire on the part of the unsaved 10 seek the pearl of great price. So mote it be l''

The Huge Task Uncle Sam
 Faces

Some idea of the enormity of the task of moving the great bodies of United States troops to be raised may be gained from tbe following figures: 6. 229 cars are necessary to transport an army of Su,000 men These cars would be made up into 356 trains with as many locomotives. There would have 10 be 2.ll5 passenger coaches 3o5 bag gage; l,055 box, l,Ss9 stock and 475 flat cars. This quantity of equipment represents seven-tenths per cent of the locomotives owned by American rail roads, i 3 per cent of their passenger cars and two-tenths per cent of their full equipment, says Popular Science Monthly \ field army consists of three infantry Divisions. one cavalry division and q brigade. technically known as a brigade of field army troops troops auxiliary to the infantry and cavalry division. Railroad equipment required to move various organizations of the army at war strength Is as follows: Infantry regiment 55 officers, l. s96 men.

Advises Farmers to
 Raise Wheat

Five acres of wheat for every fam fly in Arkansas, was the slogan sounded by Dr. s. r Weigart. district agent for Southeast Arkansas for the U. $. Department of Agriculture, at T meeting Tuesday night at the Dermott Board of Trade room in the Ghieot Hotel building. Dr NeIGart told of the necessity for the farmer to pro duce enough wheat to equal five acres of the cereal for every family in the state. in order to offset the danger of food shortage.
 The tremendous effort of the farm CTS of the state this year has resulted in enough corn and hay being raised to care for the needs of the farm stock. However, this effort Is not sufficient. and Dr. Wegart sounds the doctrine of cutting corn for fodder this winter, in order that portion of the hay raised may be released for stock used in non productive agencies elsewhere. By so doing the farmer will not only conserve about one half the food value of the corn crop. but will get that crop off his land in order that 1t may be seeded this fall to T cover crop.
 The importance of the cover crop in the past has been underestimated. and now the farmer may plant one and be doing a patriotic duty, for by planting fall seedlings of wheat. oats and rye, he may prevent washing of the soil, teaching of the soil and at the same time put in a crop which will bring in an enormous quantity of food neXt year. If every farmer does his bit in planting some of the cereals.
 The crops should be sowed not later than October lst in order to succeed. and the preparation of the seed bed was especially emphasized, the fact being pointed out that all small grains be irilledin on firm. well competed seedbed The varieties of wheat best adapted for this locality are: Red May. Alabama Blue Stem. Fulcaster and Fultz. Varieties of oats: Red Rust Proof, and Winter Turf; while kinds of rye best to use are: AhruzZi and Southern Seed grown as near home as can be obtained will give the best results. being acclimated.
 Dr Weigart was accompanied by kenneth Hawkins of the |. $. Depart ment of Agriculture, a specialist in bee culture, who also spoke briefly on his work. MT Hawkins will spend day or so in this vicinity. inquiring into conditions in his line of agriculture.

hustle is the most becoming as a
rule. This one is shaped, being
longer on the sides than in the back,
and as usual, the front of the skirt
is absolutely plain. Any of the soft
materials could be used, and there
are many attractive color schemes,
one of the most effective being black

Fashion is not as astonishing as it
might be, when one considers the
factor of patriotism. War jewelry,
too, reflects the spirit of the times,
and brooches and other ornaments

oRSTRucTIONlSTS

In ordinary times, times of peace
and quietness, the exigencies OF
government will permit of wide di-
vergencies of opinion and much dis
cussion of action and policy of pub
lie affairs. AS a matter of fact, the
cause of popular government is help
ed and forwarded in the earth by
this very latitude.
But these are not ordinary times.
They are very extraordinary times,
and in extraordinary times, extraor-
binary proceedings become necessary.
The real patriot, in this emergency,
will place not a straw in the way of
those charged with carrying out the
plans of the government. 1t matters
not the shade of political belief in
days past, the man who really has
the welfare of his country at heart
in this crisis will forget the politics
and all pertaining to it, and join
intellectually in helping in every
way to aid the government in the
huge task that is facing it.
The truly great men of the nation
have already taken this stand. Mr..
Taft, Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Root and scores of other great lead
ers of public thought have forgotten
that they have any political bias
and are standing shoulder to Shout
guarding the nation. 1t Is only the
two-by-four or the secretly disloyal
who are endeavoring to thwart the
will of the authorities.
We say twill of the authorities"
advisedly, because the American
people have placed these men in
authority and are holding them to
a strict account for their every act.
President Wilson will have to an
swer at the bar of public opinion
for his every act. That being the
case, he should be as free as possible
to carry out his plans. He should
in fact, be given every opportunity
to make good.
And it is not only in the halls of
congress that one meets obstruction
lists. Men in all walks of life can
cripple and obstruct the government
al machinery. Every unthinking crit
icism has its effects. The know it
all who imagines he could or would
do so and so, is as truly obstructing
as the member of congress who
openly antagonizes the administra-
ton on the floor of house or senate
We pride ourselves on our willing
ness to give every man a square
deal. Let us put our boast into
active practice. We have placed on
the leaders of our nation a terrible
responsibility Let us see to it that
they are not pevented, though our
unfaithful or ungrateful conduct,
from a full discharge of that respon-
sibility.
The man who in this crisis can
not place his country first doesn't
deserve a country.

length of line. Sounds like magic,
does it not? 1t does not cut off the
figure, as has SO often been feared.
1t but serves to accentuate the good
points of the figure-and cover up
the bad ones.
The skirt must be rather short
and narrow, and the hips and front
must have no unnecessary fullness
of material. The waist is either fit
ted or semi-fitted, and if the hustle is
on the coat, there need not be one
on the skirt.
Bustles are made of silks, satins,
velvets-in fact, anything nice. If
the material is soft and brushes
when draped, slight stiffening is
used On evening dresses, the bus
tie effect may be given by a bouffant
bow of maline or dress net, which
is stiff enough of itself to assume
the perky lines so chic just now
1t is surprising what transformation
can be worked with the hustle sash
on the evening dress of last year

New York, Nov. Eve have been
hearing a great deal lately about
the hustle dress, the hustle coat,
and even the hustle hat On the
stage they have been featured in
some of the most successful plays of
the season. ''Why, that isn't bus
tle," one is tempted to cry, +" it is
simply a draped sash, or soft pleats
in the back"
After all, what's in name? Rath-
er less than nothing if the name does
not describe the thing or if it is
misunderstood. The hustle of yes
terday was a hideous affair, padded
and puffed and stuffed with wire,
or straw, an object of torture. it
would seem, to the initiated. The
hustle of 1917 is entirely different.
1t is really black drapery, and is~ ex-
quisite in the soft materials favored
by Fashion this year.
But is it becoming?" you ask.
Yes, and again yes; for If you are
tall and straight, perhaps trifle too
slim, it is an added grace, and if
you are short and plump, it gives
