WYOMING LEADS
 ARKANSAS BEST
WESTERN STATE SHIPS 30,oo0,ooo POUNDS OF WOOL IN YEAR, WITH LESS ADVANTAGES
 THAN ARKANSAS.

The following report from Cheyenne shows that Wyoming is the chief wool producing state of the Union, but as far as advantages go, it has less to boast of than Arkansas. This state is especially adapted for the produc- ton of wool, there being none of the rigorous winters so common to the far Western state, sheep having the open range the year round, and there is as much cheap land to be found in Arkansas as Wyoming can show, and it is all we'll suited to the growing of sheep.
 The following article should interest some ,Arkansans in the sheep indus try, for it will pay handsomely:
 "Wyoming led all other states in the Union in it's sheep and wool produc- tion for 1916, according to the State Board of Sheep Commissioners in it's eighteenth report. just mad~ public.
 up to the present time Dr Hugh Willard, secretary of the board, says in the report, there has been trans ported from the state 29,670,5 $50 pounds of wool. Taking eight pounds as the average weight of fleece, we find that there were 3,70S,819 sheep shorn last spring. We believe that these figures entitle us to claim the honor of producing more sheep and wool than any other state in the Union
 Appropriations into the state included 82.960 sheep and S,268 bucks for the

WHERE DOES POOR
 CHOPPER COME IN?

The following bill is a conundrum. Perhaps tie merchants of the state will see in it a change for the better a change to protect their interests, or those of the share cropper It looks more like a protection for the physi- elan. There may be merit in the bill which bears the official sanction of MT. Meador of Clark county, who is the author or takes credit for it. but if there is it is hidden to the editor of the Trade Record. If it is a good bill, the Trade Record would like to know it, and if any merchant will take the trouble to explain it in that light, the Trade Record will use it's influence to have the bill enacted into law. The bill follows3
 'An Act to Protect the Families of
 Renters, Share Choppers and Wage
 I1aborers."
 Section 1. That from and after the passage if this Act, not less than $10.00 and not more than S15. % of all renters, share croppers and farm wage ls'poi eis, ciopS OH wages, De exempt from the provisions of any and all landlord liens or crop mortgages, pro vided, that the said sum of not less than $10.GN nor more Ahan $500 be held in reserve for the payment of medical treatment rendered, to the person or family of said renter, share cropper, or wage laborerer, by any regularly licensed physician in this state
 Section 2. That all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith be and the same is hereby repealed"

MRS. JOHN McRAVEN REPEATS PROGRAM IN FORREST

The old saying about the sparse honor accorded a prophet in his own country, unfortunately too often true, is not applicable in the case of Mrs. John McRaven, who has presented the Dixie drama, Nanny, in over thir- ty Arkansas cities. every engagement a success.
 Forrest City is however the first place to ask matinee repetition of the drama This matinee was given last Friday afternoon in the audi torium of the High School following a Thursday night program at the court house.
 The matinee audience was compos- ed largely of children, and the effect of the drama as interpreted by Mrs McRaven was as noticeable as has ever caused comment by an adult audience.
 The interest was unbroken from be- ginning to end. The simplicity of the story, together with Mrs. Nc Ravens sympathetic and dramatic in terpretations, makes Nanny" a fa- vorite everywhere, and with old and young alike.

Cut Down Because of Food shortas

Cut Down Because of Food shortage.
 The greatest economic problem connected with the industry the past year says the report, was due to the dry range conditions this fall and the shortage of feed The cotton seed cake, which is usually fed by a majority of the flock masters over the state during the winter months, has advanced by leaps and bounds until it is debatable question with many whether to cut down their herds or depend upon the feed at the prevailing prices. Hay, in most sections of the state, cannot be bought at double the price paid for it a year ago. The shortage of range feed has therefore forced many of our flock masters to cut down the number of sheep which they had planned to carry through the winter
 The prices paid for feeder lambs surpassed all former prices. Unborn lambs were contracted last spring for $7.50 to $500 per hundred As the demand grew, the price grew, and some which were not contracted last spring sold in the early fall at $1025 per hundred. The lamb crop over the state was good
 "Old ewes have gone to the market this fall at an unusually high price For this reason many herds have been cut closer than heretofore.
 Most of the wool in Wyoming was sold early at prices ranging from 23h cents to 91H cents. A few clips which were held and sold this fall have been taken from g cents to 35 cents. There still remain few clips which have not been sold"

 "Of the sheep imported, 4,091 were for the northern district. 15,911 were for the central district, and 62,958 were for the southern district. Of the bucks imported, 1922 were for the northern district, 929 were for the cen tral district, and 6,135 were for the southern district
 The importations of sheep showed a falling off over the preceding year, the report shows.

Berlin Claims No Ad-

LRv Casls TO Tho Tfimne. ]

London. Jan. Russian and Ruma-
nian forces struck again yesterday in
Western Moldavia and advanced a mile
and a half IN the region Of Pralea,
twelve miles south Of the confluence Of
the Casin and Trotus rivers. In the
sector between pralea and Focsani,
near Racosa, they gave another dem
onstrstion of their increased power by
beating of two furious attacks deliv-
cred by the enemy last night.
Announcement of these successes,
made by Petrograd tonight. is not
confirmed by Berlin. which reports the
complete repulse of all assaults in this
region. On the other hand, the Ger
man War Office makes no claims of ad-
vances by the Teutonic forces, and at
tests to the increased power of the
Russo Rumanian blows.
In the region between Focssni and
GalstZ. Berlin states, the Russians ad-
vsnced to the attack on both sides of
Fundeni in masses, but were checked
by the Teutonic curtains of fire. Some
of the attackers reached the enemy's
trenches. but were Immediately driven
off.
From Galatz TO the mountains of
Western Moldavia the battle is contin-

ing that the Teutons have lost, tempo
rarily at least, the punch which brought

Despite Protest

Oliver A.. Brewer, Thaw's body
guard" under indictment for conspir-
acy to kdnap Frederick Gump, dr.. Of
Kansas City, was held in $4,000 bail
yesterday by Judge Mulqueen, in Cen
eral Sessions. A. II. Goodman, of 1882
Broadway. appeared for Brewer and
asked that bail be set at $1,000.
"The so-called Thaw millions. your
honor, are not to be poured into this
city for the relief of this unfortunats
prisoner" said Mr.. Goodman.
Maybe they're already here" inter
rupted Judge MulqueeE, without o
smile. Assistant District Attorney
Black, who brought Brewer back from
Philadelphia on extradition, at first
asked that an additional bail of 5000
be set for Brewer as a material wit
ness. Later he withdrew the request.
This is an important case" said
Judge Mulqueen. at is necessary that
this prisoner remain in the jurisdiction
of this court. We know from previous
experience how increasingly the mill
ions behind the principal in this case
work for his defence"
Brewer will be arraigned to-day for
pleading.
Philadelphia, Jan. l6.-Harry X.
Thaw's retarded convalescence from the
effects of his self-inficted razor wounds
was to-day the subject of a conference
of legal and medical advisers of the
Thaw family. Dr. Ellwood Kirby and
Dr.. Walther Riddle, of Pittsburgh, told
the attorneys Thaw's recOvery-both
physical and mental-has been much
slower than anticipated.
Thaws condition has scarcely i'm
proved since Sunday. Instead of being
able to leave the hospital on Thursday,
as Dr. Kirby first predicted, the patient
will be confined for several weeks.
There is no alarm over his physical
condition." said the doctor, but his
mind still seems strangely befuddled.
He apparently does not know where he
is or what has happened to him. | do
not think his mind will be permanently
impaired. but it is too early to say yet. "
Attorney Frank J. Johnston said: "A
good deal depends upon the New York
District Attorney. We don't want to
surrender Thaw in good faith and then
have Mr.. Swami try TO send him back
to Mstteawan. We would rather have
him restrained in Pennsylvania"
