MAKING EFFORT TO
 AVOID FOOD WASTE


 borhood. near Little Rock who long have been recognized as the most up to-date body of farmers in Arkansas. anl also the most prosperous, are ge ing to raise more food and feed stuffs than ever before, and they are making t concerted effort to avoid waste
 It is not necessity that compels them to do this. for all of them are financially able to buy practically any thing they want. But it is their idea that by avoiding waste they can do their bit" toward making more food available for shipment to the Alice in Europe.
 The idea first was suggested by IL C. Brown. secretary of the Scott Cot ton Growers Association and one of the most enthusiastic members of ths Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau oI the Little Rock Board of Commerce. Nr. Brown is practicing what hs breaches. for he has installed in his home cArn grinder Instead of buy ing four. he buys wheat and makes t into four with his corn grinder. He uses less wheat and saves four dollars a barrel. and he says that the whole wheat bread is much more paltabls than that made from the ordinary commercial Hour He intends to stick to whole wheat four. war or no war.
 MT Brown outlined his ideas at meeting of Inc wives and daughters
 
 entered enthusiastically into the cam paign to eliminate waste They have held meetings with Mrs Houston Cean teacher of domestic science in the Scott school. and she has suggest ed many ways of saving
 Also MT. Brown has suggested to the planters that they talk to the ne- groes on their plantations and urge them 10 avoid waste. For one thing. he said. that most negro tenants have more dogs than they need. and that if tho surplus dogs were killed, some saving would be made. He said that many negro tenants keep horse just to drive around on Sundays. animals that are not really needed for work. He suggested that such animals could he sold te persons who really need them. and to whom the cost of feed. ing would not be an unnecessary ex. peuse.
 Too much cannot be said on tho subject of raising more feed and food" says Mir. Brown. However. We feel that the conservation side of the question has been overlooked. and We feel that if properly investigated and handled, just as much good can be done as by the production Of more food crops. l. is very hard for people who always have had plenty to believe that in few months the necessities of life may be scarce and hard to get. But remember that the people of Eu. rope are living on half rations to mono at all. and We must feed them or they will starye. This war may last only few months and it may last for years, especially If Russia should make separate peace.
 There are many WAYS by which each of LIS can cut down our living ex. and the value of what we eat. and while We may he able to buy all ws want. We should remember that the food that we can do without and thus save, leaves that much to help some one who needs il"

CASE WILL BE APPEALED
Sims Was Charged With Receiving 5000 From John E. McGraw in Con- sderation For His Action Unfav-
 orable To a Trading Stamp Bill.
Little Rock.


 A verdict of guilty was returned by the jury in the Sims bribery case be. fore Judge R I, Lea. and the punish ment for the former state senator from Hazen was fixed at one year in the penitentiary and fine of Si,S00.
 Judge Lea permitted Sims to re main under his previous bond of $lo.- GOO. pending the perfection of an appeal by Robert l.. Rogers and Col. George w Murphy, chief counsel for the defense.
 The maximum sentence which could have been stipulated by the jury for the offense was two years. The jury decided upon only one year. but fixed the maximum fine which the statute places at twice the amount of the al legged bribe Sims was charged with receiving 900 from John F.. NcGraw on February 23 last, in consideration for his action unfavorable to a trading stamp measure.
 M. F. Dunaway, prosecuting attor ney. instituted the investigation which resulted in the Sims indictment and the indictment of number of others charged with being implicated in a conspiracy to introduce "hoid- up" legislation in the last Arkansas Legislature.

He attrib- uted the entire case to a conspiracy to ruin Sims, and ascribed motives of vengeance 10 Prosecutor Dunaway and Mayor Charles E. Taylor. Anger over removal of Mir.

 Case Goes To Jury.
 The case was given to the jury shortly after the conclusion of lengthy address by M F. Dunaway. prosecuting attorney. heard by a crowded court room. In dismissing the jury, Judge Lea directed the jury to retire and "get good nights sleep" before beginning it's delibera- tions.
 Mir Dunaway devoted some time during his address to reply to tho attack by the defense upon his mo- lives in the conduct of the case from fits inception. He declared that sense of his duty te his office and to the people of the district and of the State had actuated him from the very beginning of the case and throughout the trial.
 If I thought the people of this dis trict, who entrusted me with this sa- cred office. believed for one instant that ! was so base as 10 act from the low motives which the attorneys for the defense have imputed 10 me, would want 10 sell my home and leave my State and never see it again." NIT Dunaway said "But I don't think there is a man in Pulaski county who believes such rot. have no apologies to make for my course. My conscience is void of offense toward God and to- ward man. Throughout the investiga- ton have been actuated only by mo- lives of duty to my office. and have acted only in response 10 the demands of many good people that l expose and prosecute the band of pirates that was organized in Room 404, Hotel Ma rion. to pfllage and plunder and hold up the people of Arkansas"
 Refers To lnsinuatlons.
 Mir Dunaway referred to inslnua. tions that none but Sims ever would be tried. He declared that I. c. Bur gess. principal witness for the State, also under indictment for bribery. either would plead guilty or stand trial.
 He characterized the addresses of Col. George w Murphy and Robert L. Rogers, which preceded his. as power. fu appeals to sentiment and to pre- judice. from the two greatest criminal lawyers of Arkansas and the entire South"
 "There are too many facts. too much overwhelming evidence in this case" he said. flor me to devote much time answering their powerful argu- ments and their strong appeals to prejudice. And when you consider staggering significance. don't believe you will be swayed from the truth by all the wisdom of Colonel Murphy and all the eloquence of Bob Rogers. their unjust attacks upon me, that have acted entirely from sense of duty in this legislative investigation"
 MT. Dunaway closed his address with detailed analysis of the evil dence as given in the trial. He de- clared there could be no doubt of Sims guilt. and urged conviction.
 Rogers Denunciation.
