FLANDERS BATTLE
 COMPLETE VICTORY
 FOR ALLIED ARMIES
German Advance Halted by Ter rible Slaughter of Men-Cap- ture of Kemmel Hill Has Not Benefited the Enemy.

With the British Army in France. April 30-Further desperate smashes by Von Arnim's army against the al- lied lines on the Flanders battlefield yesterday afternoon and evening met with no more success than the enemys futile and costly attempts earlier in the day to break through and capture the hill positions west of Kemmel.
 In the front of the defending posi- tions gray uniformed men lay in great numbers today, representing the aw- ful price paid by the Germans in their attack.
 This morning the allied lines in Flanders were to all intents the same as when the Germans surged forward yesterday,
 At one time yesterday the Germans appear actually to have had some men on the lower slopes of both Mount Rouge and the Scherpenberg, after they had succeeded in driving a small wedge into the French lines be- tween these two elevations.
 Things looked critical, but the French counter attacked determinedly and re-established virtually the old position.
 The artillery was increasingly busy this morning from Vimy northward Thus far the German capture of Kem- mel Hill has done them little good for the entente allied artillery has kept the crest so smothered in shell fire that it has been impossible for the enemy to occupy it in force.
 Fierce fighting continued about Locre all of Yesterday. The enemy sacrificed great number of men.
 At the ridge wood west of Voorme- zeele also heavy fighting continued throughout the day, and the numbel of German casualties in that region was great. It is impossible to say how many attacks the enemy made in the course of the day. They came forward in waves throughout long hours.

DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
 ARKANSAS ZINC ORE

Little Rock, April 30-Commission- CT John H. Page yesterday brought to the attention of the State Council of Defense the fact that many of the zinc mines of North Arkansas are closing down because Arkansas ore is not being accepted at its full value. The Arkansas ore ranks with the best on the market, and yet there is an unjust discrimination against it in price. The State Council will at once take up the matter with the National Council in an effort to bring about an adjustment that will be equitable to the Arkansas producer.

COURT KEEP
 ING A LITTLE AHEAD

Little Rock, April 30-The supreme court will clear the docket by the time it adjourns early in July for the summer recess. This is the purpose of the justices who are bending every energy to that end. They are keep ing a little ahead of the submissions and a weeks extra time at the last will enable them to finish. The mem- bers of the supreme bench, however, realize that this is often done at the expense of that deliberation which is most desirable, and that as litigation increases with the growth of the state, relief is imperative, through an increase in the number of justices, or the creation of an intermediate court of appeals.

LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS
 ENCOURAGE TREASURY
Amount Reported Nears the S2,- 5O0,000,O00 Mark - Amount Secured Monday Exceeded That of Any Previous Day.

Washington, April 3O.-Liberty Loan subscriptions yesterday totaled STA ,443 ,000, the record for any sim gle day in the campaign, and the be- ginning of what the treasury hopes will be a banner week to drive the loan far above the $3,000,O00, 0,00O min imum.
 The campaign total tonight was $2,- 467,744,000, not including today's business, which appeared large judg- ing by reports from all parts of the country of a final intensive canvass under special instructions from the treasury to get. subscribers to "buy another bond" and to place bond in every home.
 The most notable feature of the district records was the spurt of the Atlanta district from 37 to 58 per cent in single day, bringing it with in seven per cent of the New York district, which now stands second from the bottom in percentage of quota subscribed, although its total, S952, ,022,70O is the greatest of any district. Atlanta's sudden jump was attributed largely to special efforts to improve the standing of the district, in which subscribers have not been binding their pledges with initial pay ments and the banks haev not been reporting subscriptions to the district headquarters.
 Many subscribers are yet to come in all districts, according to available returns. Particularly corporations and employers of large number of men, with arrangements for selling bonds to employees on multiple in- stallment basis, have not reported the sums they wish in hundreds of cases. These conditions, although recognized by headquarters and local campaign committees, will not be allowed to slacken efforts to round up every pos sible pledge and to reduce the num- Der of stacker dollars" to very low figure.

KEEPING THE SCHOOLS AT
 HIGHEST EFFICIENCY

Little Rock, April 30.-Recognizing the importance of keeping the schools of the state up to their highest effic- iency, the State Council of Defense yesterday adopted the following reso- lution, offered by State Superintenj- ent J. l. Bond:
 "Whereas, it is imperative and vital to the school work of the state that the needs of the schools be kept be- fore the people of the state to the end that the schools be kept up to tha highest standards of efficiency, and
 "Whereas, the government has con- sistently urged that the schools be maintained in these stirring war times to maximum of efficiency of work, and
 "Whereas, the government has had frequent occasions to use the schools in carrying on many of its war ac- tivities, and
 "Whereas, the President and differ ent cabinet members have at different times urged that the needs of the schools be we'll looked after at this time, therefore

GINNERS ACT DOES NOT
 APPLY TO PLANTATION GINS

Little Rock, May In case ap- pealed from Jefferson county, the supreme court has decided that the ginners' act passed by the last legis- lature does not apply to plantation gins that gin only the cotton grown by the owner or his tenants. The case was taken up by the state, from a ruling by the lower court in favor of Leo M. Andrews, who contended that the private ginner should not be required to comply with the regula- tions that are provided for taking out license and paying for license tags. There are 1900 ginners in the state, and it is estimated that there are fewer than 100 that will be affected by this ruling.

The result of these calls spread over the past few weeks has been not only to exhaust practically all the deferred percentages of the quotas on the first general call (July 12, 1917,) but to add still further quantities of men in the excess of the first quotas"
 Obviously, Gen. Crowder added, to insure fair treatment for all the states, the new quota plan should be applied to men called on the second draft

SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS

And we hope the readers will take them in all their seriousness.
 1-Of what peculiar value to the soldiers, and sailors aboard ship is the use of tobacco in any form?
 Eff the nearly 100000 acres of choice lands, and the profuse applica- ton of fertilizers that they received and were used to produce the bumper crop of last year, had been made to produce wheat, beans, meats, fat and sugar instead, of what peculiar value to soldiers on the field and sailors aboard ship would the product of these acres now be?

Recarding the Hull amendment, nbch is now in conference, Gen. crOwder wrote the committee chair nor tbst a more fair manner to regis tor vouths attaining their majority pould be the provost marshal's plan h distribute them among men al ready registered.
 Of the proposal to put the new ygistrants at the bottom of the list q eligibles, Gen. Crowder wrote:
 "The plan proposed by this office would result in these registrants be- ing given order numbers scattered throughout the entire list of order numbers. This seems to be fairer than the plan proposed by the amend ment. The result of the House amendment in many jurisdictions will be to delay the calling of these young men for a considerable time. In the meantime their status will have changed, they will have married or become integrated with the indus tries of the country.
 Moreover, it establishes a preced- ent which may be appealed to, pro- vded 'aliens are registered under the provisions of the new legislation based upon treaties to be negotiated"
 The plan to make the quota law retroactive would apply it to men of the new draft called while the legisla- ton IS pending. Delay in enactment Of the legislation, Gen. Crowder wrote necessitated the retroactive feature.
 During the past few weeks," Gen. Crowder stated, "the camps have be- come ready to capacity and the inn peratlve needs of Gen. Pershing's forces have led to the rapid dispatch ei more troops over seas, and to the issuance of relatively small calls, by authority of the president, to fill the

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
It's Grandmother's Recipe TO
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep
their hair a good, even color, which is
quite sensible. as we are living in an
age when a youthful appearance is of
the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready to-use prod
uet, improved by the addition of other
called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" II is very popular
because nobody can discover it has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully
isrkening the hair after a few applics
lions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
10 attractive. This ready-to-use prepar-
ltion is a delightful toilet requisite for
hose who desire a more youthful ap-
lesTsnee. IL is not intended for the cure,

BERMUDA ONION SEED.
Southwest Can Produce Regularly Bet
ter Seed Than Is Imported

Recommending that American seed
growing should supply the home demand
for Bermuda onion seed, the United
States department of agriculture says
that the seed may be proftably grown
in certain regions OF the southwestern
United States.
In 1915 the United States imported
from Teneriffe, Canary islands, about
$4,000 pounds of Bermuda onion seed.
The usual retail price of this seed is
from 81 to $3.50 pound, though in
years of scarcity the price has gone as
high as So a pound. Until recently this,
country produced no Bermuda onion seed
at all; and though good yields of the
seed have been obtained at Laredo, Tex,
the yield has not been wholly dependa
bic fro year to year. While in 1916
and the past year considerable Califor
MIA grown Bermuda seed has been Of
fered to the trade, the Importance of
producing a supply of seed from care
fully selected mother bulbs was given
special prominence by the results OBJ
tanned through work of the department
of agriculture begun at Sacaton, Ariz,, in
1913 and 1914.

Washington, Feb. D. Six trains of

CAN'T SECURE CARS
TO SHIP POTATOES
Aroostook Growers Say That Is Why
They Have Large
Stock

Houlton, Me-, Feb. 22.-The potato sit
uation in Aroostook county is summed
up in six words; shortage of cars and
severe cold.
The impression which has gone out
from the county to the effect farmers
and shippers are boarding potatoes is
unfounded.
Farmers and shippers are anxious to
ship their crops. One large dealer has
had potatoes which were supposed TO
be delivered on Jan. | on hand until
Feb. 20, waiting for cars. Buyers are
not supposed to buy and hold in large
quantities, so the market has been in
active.
No potatoes have been hauled in from
the country districts 1t is safe to say
had cars been available there would not
be left to-day one-third of the potatoes
now held in Aroostook county.
The price is S467 per hundred pounds,
while some are getting little more for
contract lots.
In some districts after an order is
placed for car it has been weeks be-
for the car is placed. This has caused
much worry, and the ear situation in
Aroostook county has been a severe trial.
The present condition is known by the
United States food administration, and
it is hoped that the situation may be
improved in the course of the next few
weeks, for seed stock should move in
large quantities from now on,
Farmers win soon have their spring
work to attend to, and, with the roads
becoming broken up, the heavy hauling
will be extremely difficult.
