FARMERS CAN
 SELL THEIR WOOD
FUEL CONDITIONS IN LITTLE ROCK WILL GREATLY IN CREASE THE DEMAND
 FOR WOOD.

At a conference of wholesale and retail coal dealers with H. c. Couch, Federal Fuel Administrator, Joe E. Bateman of the Merchants Transfer Company reported that the retailers are in a bad condition as they cannot get the coal, and if the cold weather continues the poor people who nave no gas will suffer. Preference is being given to the consumers who have no gas.
 He said that the Merchants Trans fer Company will undertake to buy a thousand cords of wood next summer, and other dealers said they would go into the wood business, so that every cord of wood brought to the city will find market. It was agreed that lit tie wood has been available because there has been no market for 1t, but that the experiences of this winter will cause more farmers and others to cut wood. The Fuel Administra- ton will conduct a special campaign of education in the use of wood as fuel.
 The Nations Business, of New York, says:
 s"The United States Fuel Adminis- tration in cooperation with the De partment of Agriculture has inaugu- rated an intensive campaign for the substitution Of wood for coal. The ac- tion is taken as a means of conserving the coal supply and experts from the Fuel Administration estimate that the utilization of the nations vast avaifa- bIe wood supply would go far toward meeting the shortages of fifty million tons in the nations coal supply.
 Tn this connection it is announced that the Department of Agriculture will provide the services of expert for esters who will supervise cutting of wood so that no damage may be done to growing timber and that the larg- est use may be obtained of the supply of wood.
 "One cord of hard wood is equal to a ton of coal, according to the experrs of the Fuel Administration. One ton of coal is released for use in war work for every cord of food stubstitut- ed. The Department of Agriculture and the Fuel Administration have statistics showing that there is vast quantity of dead wood in many sec tions of the country and that the sup ply of wood in many communities IS sufficient for domestic purposes in those parts. This wood in many in- stances is destroyed as waste and it's conservation would not only serve the patriotic purpose of conserving coal needed to win the war but will also prove a measure of economy to the users.
 Activities are already under way in the South looking toward an ex- tensive campaign for the substitution of wood Following the action of Gov. Brough of Arkansas in calling atten- tion of the people to the practice of promiscuous burning of wood in clear ing new ground and urging it's use as firewood the Federal Fuel Administra- tion of North Carolina has entered upon the work of establishing muni- cipal wood yards The use of convict camps is being urged in some locali- ties as means of collecting wood, where the labor of convicts could be utilized without interference with free labor"

ARKANSAS NEEDS MORE SHEEP

Arkansas should have more sheep, but undoubtedly the most sensible way for people to go into the business is to begin on a small scale. Keep only few good ewes to start with and be sure to use only pure bred ram. Increase your flock as your time and conditions will permit. At the same time learn how to take care Of your sheep and get the most profit out of them.

MANY MUST RAISE
 THEIR PRICE OR QUIT

Many weekly newspapers all over the country are raising their subserip- tion rate to $150 year. This raise is made necessary on account of the heavy advance in paper and all other articles used in printing office. It is cinch that the country papers will be forced to raise the price or make better collections than they usually make or go out of business.

NEW BEVO PLANT
 WORLDS LARGEST
 BEVERAGE FACTORY
Conceived and Erected by Anheuser- Busch to Aid in Promotion of Sane Temperance Policy,
 Based on Education and
 Moral Development.

The completion of the new S8,OOO.- 900 Bevo plant in St. Louis is a not able wartime industrial achievement.
 The construction of this plant, the , largest and most perfectly equipped of its kind in the world, was made necessary by the extraordinary de- mand for the highly meritorious non- alcoholic beverage perfected under the personal supervision of August A.
 Busch, president of Anheuser- Busch who succeeded his father, the late Adolphus Busch, as head of the many great Anheuser-Busch industrial in- stitutions.
 After years of scientific experi- ments and original research, Bevo was created for two purposes; as an aid to the promotion of Mir. Busch's plans for real, sane temperance program in America, based upon education and intelligent moral developments; and to supply the public with the highest quality of non-alcoholic beverage that science and manufacturing skill could produce. Bevo has been a positive aid to the government in carrying out its military temperance program, for it has become the favorite beverage of the army and navy, and is used ex- tensively on battleships and in can tonments with the approval of the heads of the navy and war depart ments.
 The Busch-Sulzer Bros. Diesel En- zine Go. of St. Louis, of which MT. Busch is the principal owner and president, has been engaged continu- ously and exclusively since America entered the war in building engines of the finest and most perfect type for American submarines, airplanes and the United States Navy. Mir. Busch takes the position that it is the pat riotic duty of American manufactur- CTS to operate their plants for the benefit of the government during the war, and that private profits should be entirely or largely eliminated
 The historic Grants Farm, upon which General Grant lived and labored before the outbreak of the Civil War, and where all his children but one were born, is now Mir. Busch's coun- try estate, and is maintained in the highest state of cultivation, not only as a memorial to General Grant, but also for the raising of fine live stock 1 and experimental scientific farming.
 Besides being president of the An heuser-Busch Brewing Association, the largest industry of it's kind in the world, MT. Busch is interested in many enterprises, including farming, stock banking, manufacturing and | He is also a member of | the executive committee of the St. |

FLORIDA PRESS UNIT.

Weeks before the opening of the
Third Liberty Loan campaign Florida
newspapers began to talk of the inn
portant event. Weekly publications
gave, a liberal share of their limited
space to bond talk and the daiIies were
sure to have something each day on
tie subject. Without laggard or
sdissenter the newspaper men and
women of Florida joined in the work
allotted and shoulder to shoulder they
worked to build bufwark of gold that
swM help to protect our. army and
navy in their stand for right and free
dom. The opening of the lists for
subscriptions was made a ecial fea-
ture by great many newspapers and
some of the smallest papers surprised
their readers and the press generally
by devoting many pages and special
illustrations and color work to the
cause. The editorial space was fully
occupied, frequently, with information
regarding the bonds and advice to the
people on the security of the invest
ment and the patriotism that was thus
combined with forethought and thrift.
Some of the papers had lines made
reading "Buy Liberty Bonds" aud
used them instead of the usual "cut-
off rule" and columns Of information,
clipped or furnished, were printed in
space that is usually given up to agrl-
cultural or neighborhood notes. Pa
triotic and enterprising merchants and
business concerns all over the state
have made their advertisements call
attention to the bond issue and in ev-
cry case the newspaper has endeavor-
ed to give the best possible service to
make the advertising effective.
There are about two hundred news
papers in Florida and all are consis.

Nothing is more stimulating to a

went up with the price of clothing,
food, ETC., these working people had to
have higher wages. Therefore wages
were increased to meet the higher cost
of living.
| AS the wages in shoe factories in
creased with the wages elsewhere, the
shoe manufacturers had further to in
crease the price of shoes another, so
cents to take care of the advance in
wages. Unless this had been done,
the factory would have been shut
down. No manufacturer could con-
tinue to make shoes at a loss.
When shoes were advanced in price
a second time, clothing, food, and
other things were advanced again by
their manufacturers for the same rea-
son. This, however, made it necessary
for the working people to have an
other advance in wages to meet this
second advance in prices.
But this second advance in wages
made IT necessary for the manufactur-
ers to make still another advance in
prices. This they have done, and now
shoes are selling for almost double
what they did before the war; while
wages have advanced only about half
as much.
We cannot blame either manufac-
turers or wage earners. Both have
needed to Go what they did; but
neither side has been better off after
getting more money. The truth is
that we all have been chasing one an
other around a circle. We are all on
a merry go-round!
What is the solution?
The only solution is that we all
employers and employees should get
together and outline a plan ID to in
crease production without greater la
Dor; and (2l to distribute this produc-
ton so that those who really deserve
the goods will get them.
This is the great need Of the hour
