J. D. Duncan who has lived in this county ever since before it was Pu- laski, says he has missed but one peach crop in twenty-two years. He had corn up on April 1. One peaelf tree, only eight years old, is more than twice as large as any other tree in the orchard though some are more than twice as old as it. It is four feet to the first limb. It is the sweet est and juiciest peach he ever saw. Ii is as large as a goose egg, but just as it gets ripe. specks of rot appear on 1t. If this could be overcome it would be a fine tree to bud from. as it is seed ling and the only one of it's kind.

NEW G. NJ. 0f L. B. PAYS OFFICIAL
 VISIT TO CITY
James Russell Optimistic for Future of Cotton Belt
 and Pine Bluff.

; James Russell, the newly appointed general manager of the Cotton Belt railroad, got his first impression of Pine Bluff yesterday, spending the day in the city. The new official did not have an opportunity to meet any of the Pine Bluff citizens because of a lengthy conference with local officers. However, he expects to return shortly and visit on an extensive scale.
 MT. Russell, accompanied by M. J. Kennedy, superintendent of the north ern division, and J. H. Estes, of St. Louis,, special representative from the office of President Herbert, left early this morning on Cotton Belt train No. f for Illmo and other northern points.
 "I don't anticipate that I'll have any trouble in getting closely ac- quainted with Pine Bluff people, be- cause of the reputation the city has for making strangers feel at home" MT. Russell raid. '"The Cotton Belt railroad and its big family have a close place in their heart for Pine Bluff, and what I have heard of the city the feeling is reciprocated."
 MT. Russell spoke enthusiastically concerning the future of the Cotton Belt and it's organization for handling traffic under any conditions. He was plainly astonished at the magnitude of the company's shops here, declar- ing the various departments to be far ahead in size and efficiency of many railroad systems with twice the mile- age of the Cotton Belt.
 Having spent many years with a number of large Northern and Vest ern systems, MT. Russell comes to the Cotton Belt with modern and effective ideas of operation. His work with the Great Northern, the Chicago. Burling- ton & Quincy and the Minneapolis & St. Louis has stood out prominently.

London, Aug. 27-Throughout off cial London the belief is held that a very definite peace offer will come from Germany before winter, and that the offer would suggest immediate cessation of hostilities as a status quo basis.
 Entente statesmen have fully indi- cated that they will refuse such terms, and no doubt Germany is aware of this. But German leaders argue a status quo offer from the German side is an indispensable step in the prep aration of German public opinion for further concessions.

HOOVER WOULD FIX STANDARD
 BREAD PRICE
Food Administrator Hopes To Give Public 14-Ounce
 Loaf For 5 Gents.

Washington, Sept. 10.-With the price of wheat stabilized and the scale of profits adopted by flour manufac- turers, the food administration turned it's attention today to plans for deduc- ing the cost of bread.
 A dozen leading bakers, comprising the war emergency council of their national association, meeting with food administration officials were giv- en an outline of what it is hoped to accomplish in the elimination of wasteful practices and by co-operat- ion of the bakers.
 Food Administrator Hoover be- lieves bread prices can be reduced fully 20 per cent, when the new wheat crop begins to move through the flour mills. Bread is selling at a variety of prices and in two cities are loaves of the same size. The food administration hopes to establish a standardized loaf of 16 ounces to sell at six cents and another of IA ounces to sell at five cents. This would mean a considerable reduction of prices generally obtaining. The bakers objection to a standard ized loaf has been that fluctuations in the cost of material has made it impossible to maintain standard loaf at standard price.
 Bread is now selling in Pine Bluff for six cents for loaf of 12 ounces, and bakers say it will be impossible to put out larger loaf for the same pricee unless wheat prices de- crease considerably below the mini mum recently decided upon by the government commission.
