All Hope is Warming.

Washington, Feb 15-Hope of averting the clash between the United States and Germany is fast waning.
 The kaiser's persistent and ruthless submarining of neutral, as we'll as belligerent, merchantmen and the en- trance of a supposed Austrian sub marine into the campaign yesterday, has further initiated against this hope, especially in view of the fact that American ships sunk did not have contraband aboard
 Apparently Germany is determined to cast all caution aside At least her statesmen are quoted as saying that she will have no regard for America or anyone else. In addition to this, is the fact that this country s business is fast becoming congested, owing to the German 'blockade ' All these things are making authorit- ies dubious of the future

Interest Bill Defeated

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-The big thing Of the afternoon was the defeat of the Buchanan bill from the House, lower Ing the rate on contractual interest from 10 to s per cent. This was de- feated by vote of 10 to l3, and two memberss, Senators Owens an1 Edi- mondson, changed from the affir- native to the negative, in order to move reconsideration Another lengthy squabble followed which was finally strengthened by the tabling of this motion, IT to l2, and the bill was then dead for all time
 Senator Greenhouse opened the ar gument for the bill, vehemently ar raiging the bankers who had lobbied against the measure, and declaring that 1t was the salvation of the poor man Senator Goodwin replied, and for more than an hour spoke from the bankers point of view He declared that the banks would not make small loans if the bill was passed, and for that reason the poor man would be the one to suffer.

STATE BUTTER CONTEST

The ninth month of the Arkansas State Butter Making Contest showed that all the contestants had made a grade of butter that scored 90 or above. This is the first time since the beginning of the contest that this has been the case. There is no ques- tion but that the contestants are putting out a very high grade pro- duct and would compare quite favor ably with any dairy butter made in any section of the country
 However, there is still a great yari- ation in color. Some of the butter received full score on color, never the less, most was to light. Color and package have a great deal to do with marketing to an advantage, es- pecially at this time of the year A striking example of what effect the color has on the sale might be inter esting. A representative of one of the largest grocery stores happened to drop in while the butter was being scored. 1t was all open to view on large table. As matter of cur iosity he was asked which butter he could most readily retail at the store and he immediately pointed out the bright yellow colored butter and also stated he would pay five cents more per pound for 1t than the lighter col ored butter This is an every day occurance on the open market.
 Some of the contestants are using special cartons on which is printed the name of their farm or their name. As their buttehr is of good quality they are building up trade of satis- fled customers, who will ask for this particular butter regularly. By so doing there becomes a special demand for this dairyman's butter and as the demand regulates the price to a great extent it will not be long before their butter will be selling at premium.
 In marketing butter. quality of course stands first. A good uniform product, which can only be made by varying the method of manufacture in accordance to this time, must be produced.
 If the conditions for churning are not right make them so. \ little trouble will show up in the finished product and the superior quality of your butter will soon be noticed by the consumer. By putting your butter on the market in a neat attractive pack age you will soon find that there Is a demand being established. Arkansas yearly IS consuming large quantities of dairy products imported from the north, so marketing good quality of dairy butter at a fancy price Is with in the reach of everyone if they will do their part.
 All samples must be in February 21st for February scoring.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrah deafness, and that is by a constitu- tional remedy Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the in- flammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by cat arrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
