'CROP PRICES VARY
 WIDELY OVER STATE
CORN RANGES FROM $f.25 TO $2.4o 4 BuSHEL IN REPORTS FROM
 ARKANSAS ToWNS-zBETTER DISTRIBUTION NEEDED.

That there is a wide variance In the prices paid for farm products at different points in Arkansas, due to improper distribution, is shown by the reports of travelling representa- lives of the State Department of AgrI- culture to Commissioner John IT. Page
 On the same day that onions were selling at 65 cents bushel in Prairie Grove the growers were getting $1.30 a bushel at Altus.
 Oats were bringing only 55c q bushel at Garfield on the same day that they were selling for soc a bush el at Tuckerman. Buyers at Altus were paying 60 cents bushel on the same day that Hartford buyers were bidding 80 cents bushol
 Corn sold 25 cents bushel higher than wheat at Fort Smith on August IS. The lowest prices quoted on corn was S1.25 at Success and $1.40 at Wal nut Ridge, and the highest price was $40 at Hiwasse.
 Irish potatoes sold at 95 cents at Lowell and $2.0G at Fort Smith. A better knowledge of the markets and a better system of local distribu- tion is needed, MT, Page says, to equalize prices and bring uniformity in the rural markets. The trouble is that one community will produce more Of one crop than can be locally con- sumed, but not enough of that crop to make up carload shipment for points where there is a scarcity of the particular product. The result is low price at one place and high price at another for potatoes, corn. hay or whatever the article may be. To remedy this condition and to help the grower to sell and the consumer to buy farm products at more nearly reasonable prices, the State Depart ment of Agriculture and the office of markets, U. s. Department of Agricul- ture, now located at Little Rock, are prepared to furnish farmers with con rect market information concerning any crop at any time, and to help them move their crops from centers of oveI- production to points where there is q demand and better prices for their products.

EGG ALMOST MADE
 MODERN HISTORY
HUNTED HEN FRUIT WITH LINES ALL THROUGH IT LIKE MAP OF EUROPE WOULD HAVE FIG
 URE0 IN BALL GAME.

Evidently visions of a revised Eu- rope passed through the mind of a bullet somewhere in Arkansas, as she produced her maiden effort. This egg arrived in due course of time at the great haven for Arkansas eggs, the Goodwin < Jean Company warehouse in Little Rock.
 Without attracting any attention. other than 1t was a bit underslzed, the egg followed with others into the cold storage. During she past week this case of eggs was removed, a part of a big government order. and went through the candling machine. There it was discovered What was hardly noticeable in the handling, was brought forth in the candling. There were lines all about the sides of the egg which somewhat resembled country intoxicated with war, or at least Ed Meyers. the manager of the company, thought as much At any rate the egg ceased to be part Of 4 rockies breakfast, and Ieaped into the limelight.
 By the time the egg reached the sidewalk as an object of curiosity, blue lines traced out coast line ragged enough to be the resort sec tion Of northern Maine It was claim cd that the blue lines were upon the egg when first discovered. but if this be trde, the bullet had partalen of an indelible pencil, or eaten heartily of blue grass. Anyway. the lines re- fused to yield to soap and water. 30 the statement that they were laid in the egg were taken as fact. eyen though many still remained obstinate Hand refused to yield their doubts.
 That the egg was ridged no one doubted, and some acknowledged they could see q message In the eraclSiad Narface, one being klna enough to say it said Drink Bev0,'ys but George Sheldon, who was one of the first to handle the curiosity, in- sisted that the first word was cor rectly translated, but the second was Puritan, making it, Drink Purir tan" It is indeed fortunate that Muswick & Summerfeld state agents for Cooks Goldblume, or Claude Sharp of the Scott-Mayer Commission Com pany, distributors of Pablo, were not present, for if they had there would have been other translations.
 But the big story Of the egg was not mere sidewalk conversation This little old egg had higher mis- sion in life than that. It was carried right out to a ball game, where many people might look upon it's pleated sides. It was handed about from per son to person until Marcan, the same L'il Artha who used to baseball in Little Rock, made decision that was a bit worse than usual. The fan who was looking it over at the time elamped down heavily in his express sion of disgust, and instead of being heave, there was a smashing of shell and a handful of yellow and white. The fan swore softly, but for cibly, and the umpire missed being a target.
 Thus ended the usefulness of the freak egg of an Arkansas bullet.

MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF EPERNAY
Official Report of the Extraordinary
Session of Saturday, the Fifth
September, 1914.
In the year one thousand nine hun
dred and fourteen, on Saturday, the
fifth OF September at quarter past
8 o'clock In the evening.
The municipal council of the town of
Epernay. duly summoned, met at the
town hall, under the presidency of M.
Maurice Pol-Roger, the mayor, for the
holding Of an extraordinary session ne
cessitated by a requisition made by the
German commissariat.
The mayor communicated the follow
ing document: "Epernay. the fifth Sep
TENDER, 1914. At the request OF the
mayor we certify that the commissariat
of the royal bodyguard has imposed a
fine according to convention) on the
town Of Epernay amounting to 1850
francs, payable on the sixth of Septem-
Der, at noon, for not having delivered
in time the provisions necessary for
the troops.
"In the name of the commissariat of
the royal guard,
"(Signed) KAHN, Director
| The president read the details of the
| provisions demanded
For the fifth of September, 1914:
"Oats, 10000 kilogrammes.
Bread, $1,000 kilogrammes.
Roasted coffee, 500 kilogrammes.
Preserved vegetables, mushrooms
and semolina, 10000 kilogrammes.
"Salted bacon. lard, etc, $4,000 kilo-
grammes."
He then pointed out that only the
required quantity of sailed bacon could
not be supplied; there were only about
| 1000 kilogrammes available; and that,
in spite of all his endeavors, he had
not been able to obtain either the items
of the sum claimed or any reduction in
the amount OF the fine.
In default of payment Of this sum,
the German authorities threatened to
take the most rigorous proceedings
against the population itself, and to
conduct forcible perquisitions in the
houses of the inhabitants.
! A long discussion arose on this sub
ject.
Finally, being unable to resist the
demands of the German commissariat,
and on account of the threats made. the
council decided that tomorrow morning
an appeal should be made for the CO.
operation Of the people Of this town to
collect this sum OF 176.550 francs. The
session closed at 1880 in the evening

n AMBASSADOR GERARD has given us best in
|A\ formation as to conditions in Germany. When he
says that the German people will not seriously revolt
against the rule of autocracy believe him although he
dashes to earth one of the cherished hopes of the
can people.
One can hardly understand it that in land contrib
utng much to enlightenment in other lines there should
be such dense mental darkness to individual and
ional freedom
The German people must feel they deceived by
their rulers when they told this for the
life Of their nation. They must know that it is
engineered after prolonged preparation for the aggran
dzement of Germany as monarchy and to give the
throne grip upon its subjects through the add
onal power flowing from Of the plan of added
dominion in the world.
Yet Mr. Gerard says they, having the power they
possessed it BEFORE will not resent the heish de-
signs upon them of the house of Hohenzoern.
If the people of Germany would act they would
gain freedom for themselves and establish peace through
out the world One realize how the appeal for peace

ROLLER TOWELS.

Among other old established institu-

towel. This germs delight once was
wont to hang around hotel wash rooms,
swinging its galvanized length beside
q cracked mirror. And who among us,
has not seen the dripping guest twirling

Today in it's stead, we have the baby
hand towel, in leash; heavy of them
riveted to steel rod; allowed to sit

when they're clean; and so slide in a
crumpled heap to the basket below
when they're dirty.
