Some mems honesty is the result Of
lack of opportunity.
The Springdale news. [volume] (Springdale, Ark.) 1887-1990, 1917-12-07

As result of the short-slghted pol
lev of the Madison County quorum
court that county has lost its DEM
onstration agents, and Mr.. and Mrs.
A. F. Houston, have been transferred
to Crawford County. 1t takes time to
educate the people to the advantages
of these farm demonstration agents,
and Madison County will eventually
be in line with her neighboring coun-
ties. Which causes us to wonder why
the people pay so little attention to
the character and ability of the men
they select for justices of the peace.
A great many people apparently act
on the theory that anybody will do for
J. P, when, as matter of fact, 1t
is a very important position when
properly filled When progressive
men, of good sound business judg-
ment, are chosen as justices of the
peace the affairs of the various coun-
ties will be handled in more up-to-
date manner.

! An important meeting Of the Clay
county marketing committee, ap-
lpointed under authority of the Min
lnesota Public Safety commission.
was held in Moorhead Wednesday
Afternoon. Aug. s, at the office Of
Leslie Welter, district member Of the
state committee. The discussion in
cluded many features Of crop con-
servation and care of the grain after
it Is threshed.
/ II was decided at the meeting that
there should be a general cleaning
up in and around the elevators to
protect them from fire, especially
when they have been filled with
grain. After the crop begins to move
it was practically decided that
guards should be kept at all ele-
lVators in the county.
4 Farmers will be urged to save and
bale all straw to help out in the for
age shortage. They will also be
urged to build sheds to protect their
machinery that will be hard to re-
place even at higher prices next
year.

FOOD BILL HITS
WHEAT TRADE

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 9.-Wheat: Very
little. trade in wheat. Passage of food
bill increases uncertainty and there
is little disposition to do business in
any department of wheat trade until
the situation is cleared.
Corn: Prices have been firmer to-
day despite the big crop estimates OF
the government. There has been lit
tie pressure in the market from the
start, although there has been fair
amount of commission house selling
on the advance. Receipts at primary
points were larger than a year ago
Cash prices are firm. Country sales
continue light. Rainfall was again
shown over the corn belt, but fair
weather with higher temperatures are
indicated. The situation is unchanged
and with no balance to the market in
the shape of stocks OF liberal proper
tions, the market is easily oversold
and responsive to any good buying.
Oats: Oats have been strong with
light offerings due largely to the
small offerings from the. country.
Cash oats are firm and the demand Is
fair. Tonnage is reported scarce at
the seaboard and the export trade at
present is quiet. The general impress
sion is that the government Is under
actual yield. The market Is in the
same position as corn so long as
stocks are small and the bulls are in
possession to force prices up.

ASK EFFICIENT BODY
TO find OTHER MEN
North Dakota Division of Training
Camps Association Will Recruit
For Field Ambulance Service.

Bismarck, N. D. Aug. 9.-The
North Dakota division OF the Mill
tary Training Camps association,
having successfully recruited candi-
dates for two officers training
camps at Fort Smelling, now Is ask
ed to recruit for the field service of
the American ambulance in France,
and the aviation corps, which is in
urgent need Of 100000 men.
Results in the Central department
are said to exceed those of the east,
northeast, southeast and southern
departments, with the western de-
partment yet to be heard from. The
branch chairmen in the central de-
partment procured applications from
more than 5h times the quqota, and
the average far exceeded any single
state outside Of this department.
The central department camps have
been visited by a committee from
military training camps headquar-
tiers at Chicago and have been found
to be exceptionally satisfactory.

REORGANIZE ARMY
Units of 10000 Men Will Be Substi-
tuted For Divisions of $4,000.
(Rv Associated Press.l

Washington, Aug. "A reorgan..
ization of American army units I'M
der which the division totalling 49,
900 men, found unWieldy for service
upon European battlefields is aband-
oned for the continental unit of about
$4,000 men, has been ordered by the
war department.
Under the plan division will i'm
clude only two infantry brigades of
two regiments each, in place of three
brigades of three regiments each un-
der the old system. Many other or
ganization changes are including a
material increase in the artillery and
machine gun strength of each divis-
ion. The cavalry regiment, now in
cluded in each division, is detached,
a new trench mortar battery Is add
ed and the old army corps plan
abandoned after the Civil war Is
again put into operation.
Sixteen divisions Of the national
guard will be realigned in conform
ity with the new plan after the
guardsmen reach their training
camps. The national army will be
organized from the start under this
plan. So far as the regulars are con-
cerned it has been understood that
the reorganization already has been
carried out for the units now in
France
The reason for the division change
is said to be that the unit OF 2S, 900
men is too unwieldy for trench war
fare

While war department officials and
clerks were drawing out the little
capsules in Washington which
designated thousands of young men
of the country for military service
they sprinkled quite a few shots
among the ranks of major league
ball players. Just how many are
among the first call cannot yet be
determined. Quite a large percent
age of the eligibles, mainly those
with clubs on the road, do not know
their numbers, and even some Of
those at home have not learned
theirs.
However, quite a few have been
named. Davy Robertson is the only
member of the Giants likely to be
examined for service. Davy's num-
Der is in the zoos, and 1t is possible
that numbers up to the 1900 mark
NAV be called. The big outfielder
was married the day after war was
declared. Lew McCarty is among
the zoos, while the others range
above that. Benny Kauff learned his
number but forgot II, so does not
know his status Pete Kilduff and
Bill Rariden have not learned their
numbers.
Bin Evans, a young pitcher with
the Pirates: Corson Bigbee, OUT
fielder. and Alex Mccarthy are
among those expected to be called
out. Uncle Wilbert Robinson Is

troupe. They are all pitchers. Big

No Exorbitant War Profits
But Industry Will Get

Drastic Action To Reduce
Prices Is Likely To
Be Taken
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Aug. 9.-Definite as
surance that the American public
will be protected against prof1teering
and that the allied governments will
set their war supplies at the same
prices as the United States was con-
tanned in an announcement last night
of the administrations war price
policy.
The pTonouncement was made by
the new war Industries board, formed
last week as a part of the council of
national defense to have full charge
of the governments war purchases.
1t made clear the administrator
determination that there shall be no
exorbitant war profits and at the
same time stated the governments
intention to see that industry re-
ceives fair prices for its products.
Prices now charged for materials
necessary to the industrial life of the
nation are out of all proportion, the
statement said. to the cost of produc-
ton. "Unconscionable profits, ii Is
declared, are made on national re-
sources entering into the manufacture
of articles consumed by the public.

Already the administration is pre-
pairing for drastic action to reduce
prices If negotiations with manufac-
turers fail to produce results. Robert

made public the statement declared

a contingency and felt confident it
could meet the situation II. possible,
he said, it hoped to achieve results

mystery about John Longer De Saul
les, jr., Az -yera-old son of Mrs.
Blanca De Saulles who shot and
killed her divorced husband Friday
when he refused to give up the child
to her care, was cleared today when
he was found in the care Of G.

Counsel for Mrs. De SauIIes was

Heckscher today that the mother
who is in jail here be allowed to see
her son.
Mrs. De Saulles was removed from

The Red Sox stand to lose Charlie
Shorten. His number was 1888 at
his home town, Scranton, Pa, and
he was drawn as No. 4141. Steve
0'Neill of the Cleveland Indians,
who also halls from Scranton, was
No. 1854 in the draw, his serial num-
Der being 232. Two of Fielder
Jones outfielders are caught in the
net. They are Yale Sloan and Bill

The White Sox viii doubtless lose
two men from their ranks. Both
Buck Weaver. third baseman, and
Joe jenkins, second string catcher
are among the early numbers drawn
for service Reports have been very
slow from several of the other big

that Shorten was among the list Sc
lected was made from his home
town.
Managers are quite anxious to
learn the full returns as quickly as
possible. Especially in the Amer
lean league a few losses through the
draft may change the complexion Of
the race materially If the men chosen
are to be called within a few weeks
time. There is, however, a belief
that the actual call to training for

cording to federal officials, evinced
a desire to tell what they know of
propaganda spread through south
eastern Oklahoma opposing the
operation of the selective drive law.
Walter J. Turnbull, assistant Unit
