in quite a scrap on a city wharf a few
nights since, were arraigned in the
court of record yesterday morning on
charges of having engaged in an af-
fray, and each were required to pay
the costs on a plea of guilty on the
part of each of them, and this was
done. The captain of a ship showed
up later and took two Of the men
away with him.
Names the men gave were Leon
Calman, w. Radcliffe, Y. Euleman,
and Frank Peters. They had some
falling out while on the dock the

such differences in such a belligerent
manner that a deputy sheriff was
asked to take them in charge and
they were taken in custody on charges
of engaging il an ~fray.

"FOrttlne In a
Peanut SheN''

Peanuts" said J. L. Kendrick.
manager of the Southern Cotton
OIL Company, of Goulding, ARE
one of the most profitable crops
that can be grown here. From
forty to a hundred bushels an
acre may be considered a normal
crop; what the price this wear
Will be, nobody knows. Last year
1t was $1.00 a bushel Pea
nuts should not be fed to
stock whole; the oil in them
produces a 1abby flesh, that sells
for several cents cheaper. With
the oil extracted, the peanut meal
or cake produces as fine flesh
as corn, and one bushel of pea
nuts will buy two bushels of
meal. Thus the farmer is more
than doubling his production"

Revival of Printed Cottons.
amount of rubbing.

Time was when printed cottons were the main dependence of the rank and file of American women, for everyday wear. Calico. percale. lawn, dimlty and gingham met most of their re- quirements at time when most of their days were spent at home and the patchwork quilt hourlshed with a wealth of material at hand to make it. But with changing times, calico began trailing off toward the horizon, with other unsuhstantial weaves following il. until they almost disappeared.
 The kitchen apron and the cotton housedress, being permanent institu- tions, still demand strong. washable cottons, and printed colors and pat terms make them less interesting than they would be In plain colors. Per cale and gingham hold their own as the best materials for house dresses and aprons The percale of today is much like the calico of old, and the house dress of today aspires to being pretty, original and fascinating. It is allowed eecentricities in pockets, belts, and in designs that proclaim it again important and foretell the return of printed cottons for country wear and morning wear at home.

 Governor Broueh, upon his retu n from a Red Cross speaking tour an nounced that searching investiga- ton would he made to determine whether adoptions recently made by the State Text Book Commission were at prices in excess Of those paid in other states.
 Contracts will not be closed with the book companies until the eontro- versy is thoroughly threshed out, Gov ernoor Brough said
 An investigation of records in the office of J. L. Bond, state superintend- ent of public instruction. disclosed that the adoptions made by the com mission were al prices materially un der prices obtained by various coun- ties having county uniformity.
 No record of adoption prices paid by other states having state uniform ity could be obtained, however.
 There was considerable variance, on the other had. between the prices which would be paid per child under the contracts decided upon and those paid in other states, according to fg- ures obtained from the United States commissioner of education for 1915.
 Figured at the lowest possible esti- mate. the adoptions made by the com mission will require. an expenditure of 70 cents per year per child. This cost is based on exchange prices. In cases where children have no books to trade in" the average cost would be greater.
 According to the federal officials figures. the cost per child in this state heretofore has been 60 cents per year, and the average for the na- ton 56.6 cents In Virginia, Missts- sippi and Georgia, each of which have state uniformity. the commissioners records show the average cost per capita of school children for purchase of books is 3G. 46 and 8 cents, re speetvely.

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
Manufacturers Looking for Substitutes for Those Now Used, Because of
 Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price of many of the more commonly used metals has led manufacturers to adopt or consider the adoption of various substitute metals or alloys for certain purposes The advice of the bureau of standards has frequently been sought in this con nection. An interesting field of inyes- tigation k opened up by such inquiries
 It appears that the metals tradition ally and currently used for various articles are in many cases no better adapted for the purpose than others and q slight difference in price would warrant q substitution. If is not usu- ally possible, however. to suggest sub- stitutes ofrhand, as there are many factors involving manufactufing pecu' liarities, durability and other physical and chemical properties that first have to be determined "There iS says the bureau, "a very wide field of research here, which would undoubtedly repay manyfold the efforts put upon lt = Scientific American.

May Appoint Two Exemption Boards.

According to rulings of the War Department, members of exemption boards are required to be residents of the district over which they will have supervision. By this ruling Sheriff ". c. Hutton, County Clerk Dan D. Quinn and Dr c. s. Pettus, who con- stituted the Board of Registration for Pulaski county, outside of Little Rock. will not be members of the county board. The War Department has advised Governor Brough that two boards could be appointed to handle exemptions in the county prop CT and he was undecided as to wheth- CT he would recommend one or two boards. On. account of the great amount of work in the county, he thought 1t was possible that two boards should be recommended, one to have jurisdiction over Argenta and part of the townships, the other over the other townships The two city boards will have jurisdiction in Lit tle Rock. There will be two appeal boards in Arkansas, one in each Fed eral Judicial Circuit These will be appointed by the president, probably upon the joint recommendation of the governor and members of Con gress.

Urges Immediate Passage. of Food Bill So That United States Can Resa

Nashington.-Th United States. unwilingly, has been furnishing Ger many with the most valued of the food products she herself lacks for the successful prosecution of the war.
 Fats in sufficient quantity 10 ration all of Germany's 100000 men under arms are entering the Teutonic em- pires from Holland and Scandinavia These countries get these products dl- rectly or indirectly from the United States. Hence the desire for speed on the part of the administration in making effective the embargo author ized by Congress
 Herbert C. Hoover, food administra- tor, made public for the first time the definite figures in this trade which have impelled the United States to hasten the rigorous control of exports to these countries. The figures come from English sources. They are re- garded as conservative.
 Supposedly neutral merchants have made fortunes out of this illicit trade with our enemies. So extensive has their business become that scores of men in Holland, Norway and Sweden are known through all the cafes and places of resort as the "Goulash mil lionaires."
 Congress has already provided for the exports council consisting of Sec retary Lansing, Secretary Houston and Secretary Redfeld Secretary Redfield is the executive officer of the council.
 It's orders, requiring all exporters of food from the United States to SC cure a license under which their busi- ness with the Teuton feeding ports be absolutely controlled, may be expect ed to be made effective during the week through proclamation by the president.
 Indicative of the importance of this trade to Germany, experts here have figured that the calories contained are the equal of the calories in the entire ration of 2,500,0O0 German sol diers. This is about the number of men WHICH 3tI IIdllS IION idS Oil tiiO western front
 The publication of the figures by MT. Hoover assures prompt action. This action will not deprive the peo- pie of neutral countries of food sup ply to which they are entitled. Their supply will be so restricted that they will have some to pass on to Ger many
