PRUSSIANS OPEN GRAVES ID GfT
 METAL, JEWELS
Horace Whyte, Pine Bluff Boy, Writes of Atrocities
 By Kaiser's Men.

That the German soldiers on the French front are now even opening graves, robbing the bodies of JeWelry and the caskets of metal, is the ln- formation contained in letter writ ten by Horace Whyte, son Of Mrs. Mamie Whvte. 510 South Alabama street. to his brother, w. H. Whyte. in Little Rock Horace Whyte, who is brother of Miss Jessie Whyte, Mrs. ]. F. Reeves and Charles l.. White of Pine Bluff. is member or company B, Twelfth Engineers, Ill which he enrolled June, 27, leaving St. Louis in July for France. He was reared here, and for a long time was employed in the Cotton Belt shops. His letter. printed in the Little ROCK Gazette yesterday says:
 Dear Brother: We'll, it has been raining here for week now, and. believe me, I am up to my neck i'll mud. I wish you would get me pair of boots and send them to me. Mark them Boots for Soldier We need them bad, and can't get them here. Get laced ones-army style 1T possible, and if B. wants to send any thing tell her to send me woolen wristlets.
 "They brought in a bunch of Ger man prisoners last night and they were all kids, 16 and 17 years old, except a few old men. When l get back I will tell you something that you cannot believe. | hardly can, and you will never be able to realize how bad they are, unless you could see them. Sunday we were in town recently evacuated by the Germans; everything was totally destroyed, the graves in the graveyards had been opened and left open, and all metal taken from the caskets and it is said tho dead were robbed of jewelry bur- 1 jed with them.
 "The railway equipment here ls mostly joke to us-we laugh every 1 time we see it; first, second and third class coaches, and they don't have freight cars. They have wagons. and that is about what they are, too; one pair of trucks on each end, and will haul about as much as a good two- horse wagon. But engines, they have them; anything from Shay to a Superheated Malley, but not any ot them have pilot, and no cabs, only a-well. call it sunshade. The road bed is either the best or the worst ever saw. They. have both. We have a hard time trying to talk to the French people. However, 1 like it and anl enjoying things very much
 Give my regards to everyone know, especially J. B. Dickinson, and tell them we are always glad to gel a letter or card from someone back home"
 Desires Coffee.
 Mrs. Mamie White said yesterday that letters received from her son in dicated he was content, except tha
 he expressed desire for good coffee "onc cup, anyway"

 CTS and Housewives.

Dr. $. P. Weigart, Little Rock, dis trict agent for the United States oe- partment of agriculture, who has en- tire charge of the entire district Of southeast Arkansas, and Miss s. G. Chamberlain of the home economic department, were in the city yester- day, having come from Rlson and left on the afternoon train for the capital
 Miss Chamberlain addressed a num- Der Of girls and women on canning, preserving and drying fruits and vegetables, while Dr. Weigart closed : his campaign for fall pie snting. He reports very excellent progress in the agricultural world of southeast Arkansas, and growing realization of the fact that the agricultural re- sources must be:developed to the full est extent, so that every acre of till able ground will produce it's maxi mum of foodstuffs for man and beast.
 He expressed the greatest satisfac- tiOn over the success Ot the meet 1 ing of farmers and business men at Rison. At that place he urged that the county court make an apprOpria- 1 tion of $500 for county agent and $500 for county home economic agent, saying he would see that the remainder needed for maintenance to maintain the offies would be supplied hv his office He also urged a con- tinuad development of the live stock industry. calling attention to the good work that is being done by the Boys Corn and Pig clubs of Cleve- land county, and what moneys would be brought into the county on ac- count of the hog market.
 Several prominent men agreed tc take the matter up with the court.
 Dr. Weigart began this campaign on July 31 in Ashley county. There are fifteen counties in this district and he visited each one not less thar two times, delivering addresses and imparting useful and! valuable in ! formation for the merchants anC farmers, urging cooperation at al times. Some places were visited more than twice, especially in the large, we'll populated sections.
 He told tho farmers what to plan for the fall crops, when 70 plant, how to prepare the soil and what kind o seed should be planted. He urged ; greater acreage in wheat, rye ant oats. He stressed the fact that Whea should be planted in October givins the dates as between October 10 ant 20 He advised that the seed bet should be- well prepared; the ground pulverized, rolled and competed un til firn!.r IL takes from one to on anG .ilrec-eights bushels of seed t., l the acre.
 He regards this information a
 timely as the farmers will have near ) ly two weeks in which to prepare tn | ground and soy the seed

 Most old people must give to the bowels sor1c regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condl- tion is perfectly natural It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never, so active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are mus cles.
 So all old people need Cascaretss. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect thls gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow els must be kept active. This IS inn portant at all ages, but never so much as at fifty. ! Age is not time for harsh physics Youth may occasionally whip the bow 1 els into activity. But lash can't be used every day. What the bowels ot the old need is gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly i used without harm.

l0CAL COTTON MARKET
 KEEPS MEN GUESSING
Scalpers Control Situation by Paying Higher Prices Than Shippers Se-
 cure in Eastern Markets.

. The cotton situation in Pine Bluff has set everybody to guessing, and mo- body is quite satisfied with his own guess. The prices paid locally top the big markets all the way from 2 to IS cents. The shippers are shy of the situation, and are leaving the plunging to the scalpers. At that, the market ebbs and flows in a most unac- countable way.
 For example, a bale of Rowden big boil cotton sold yesterday at 25 cents. On Tuesday negro broug Int in two bales, for which he was paid B cents. On Wednesday the same grade of cot ton only raised an offer of 32 cents and on Thursday the same two bales zrought B 1-8. One bale changed
