Peace Not Popular Theme.

Rumors during the week of new
peace drive by Germany did not dis
turb the equanimity Of this government
or result in any let-up in warlike ac-
tivities.
New Year greetings from high govern
ment officials to the American people and
exchange OF greetings among the allies
did not breathe the spirit of peace
making but of victory. A nation unified
and determined to prosecute the conflict
until it's purposes are achieved was the
message sent over seas to the nations
bearing the brunt Of battle: and the peo-
pie at home were called upon to practice
greater self-denial and economy. to sus-
tain their government unitedly and the
men the government IL sending forth to

A review of business. conditions issued

will attain the end 1t has set out for.

Taking Stock of Food.

AS. a war measure. strictly. the De-
partment of Agriculture brought to its
climax last week the survey OF the ma
tions food resources. provided in leeis-
latfon enacted early last summer. When
the reports it called for are all in. it will
be possible to tell to a close approxima-
ton just how much food there was on
hand January 1, and to estimate closely
production in the coming year.
The necessity of this stock-taking lies
in the fact that our allies are going to
look to US this year. even more than last.
to make up their food deficits. Owing
to causes over which the food admins
tration had no control-chiefiy railroad
congestion and the lack of ocean ton
nage-we did not ship France last year
as much food as We had promised. The
promised food. however, Is in elevators
and warehouses ready for shipment when
transport is available. and the shortage
will not have to be made up out of next
years production.

NEW RULES FOR
 SALE OF SUGAR
NEITHER WHOLESALERS NOR RETAILERS SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN 30 DAYS SUPPLY
 ON HAND AT ONE TIME

State Food Administrator Hamp Williams has issued the following new regulations governing the sale and consumption of sugar:
 We respectfully urge your careful consideration of the following rules governing the sale and consumption of sugar.
 The allowance for household uses is two pounds per person per month. Sugar for canning or preserving fruit is permitted in addition to this al- lowance.
 Louisiana plantation Seconds and Thirds sugars are found suitable for canning. Upon request we will issue additional certificates to any mer- chants to buy sugars to sell his fruit trade.
 A wholesale grocer, for his service in handling sugar, is allowed a profit of thirty-five cents per hundred lbs. above the usual cash discount allowed by the refinery, plus actual freight charges. The price of fine granuIat- ed sugar was fixed on basis of nine cents pound f. 0. b. refinery begin ming 2 a. m. September 9, 1918. For his services a retail grocer is per mitted a profit of one cent poun1 above cost of sugar delivered at his depot. Therefore, the total margin between the refiner's basic price and the consumer should be $135 per hum dred pounds, plus all actual freight charges In the sale of more than one pound, fractions Of cent should be counted in favor of the customer and not in favor of the retail grocer as was done therefore. Neither job bers nor retailers will be permitted to average cost of any old sugar with any new sugar. No advance in price will be allowed until present stock is exhausted at the old price. Any mer- chant who advances prices of sugar immediately to the new basis should justify such increase to you or your l agent.

THE NEW SCHOOL IDEA.

or recent years a new idea has pos sessed educators and it is that the school, it's buildings and apparatus shall be for the benefit of the adults of the community as well as for the children who attend the day school. This idea carried out to it's ultimate extent means that a consolidated school at Wye with dozen large au- to busses to haul the children to school would necessitate a large ga rage for them and competent me chanic in charge who would keep thenk in repair with the help of the larger students, teaching them me would start early from Wye and would haul a load of workers from Wye to the bottoms to work during the day and bring back the children living in the valleys to attend the school. This would equalize matters. Enough families eultiyating valley land would move to Wye wfth their children that there would be only half as many children to haul 10 school as if all lived there. While there would be as many workers liy- ing on the mountain to ride down 10 work as there would be children to haul up. The result would be that the twelve auto busses would do as much work as twenty-four would if they only hauled a load one way
 This idea is entirely feasible and legal, for in some towns the cities own the street car lines and other public utilities and we would be doing here with the auto busses exactly what the street car lines in Little Rock are doing for Forest Park and Pulaski Heights,

tain. Such school would be of vast benefit to her. The very first thing that would have to be done would be to complete the road from Roland up the river to the Perry county line and along that line to the corner of the county at the Wye school house. This would give the extensive Italian col ony along the Perry County line an opportunity to trade at Roland and would cause the country along the road, one of the finest fruit sections in Arkansas, to settle up. It would make Roland fruit snipping point and greatly increase her trade. It would also result in many new farms being opened in the Maumel1e valley and a good road up it, which would again make more trade for Roland. Again the mountain could become

po Not Let Cotton Weather

Cotton exposed to the weather ab- sorbs moisture and get the blues (rots). Such cotton sells from $S 4 $20 less than it would have brought had it been properly stored. Keep your cotton dry. Not only bale cotton, but cotton recently picked should not be allowed to remain on the ground in the field even for short time and exposed to the sun and~rain.
 If You Have Corn, Keep It CT Sell to
 Neiehbor. .
 There is very little good corn in the State this year, as everyone knows, and those who have good corn should store it properly and keep the best of it for seed next year. All corn stored in the State during the past year will find a ready market at home or in the adjoining township or county. Write to MT. J. H. Full, Office of Markets, Old Statehouse, Little Rock, and list any corn that you may have for sale. It is your patriotic duty to supply Arkansas buyers first, and he will help you find them without cost
 Sow More Clover.
 Clover hays are the most nutritious on the market. To care for livestock economically, everyone must have plenty of hay. Then why not grow the most nutritious hay wherever practi- cable? It will be well to make start by seeding one or two acres of fthe best well-drained land on the place in red clover, crimson or our clover, before October 10th, after preparing the soil we'll by breaking, disking and harrow ing. These legumes will need to be sown in innoeulated fields. The coun- ty agents will be glad to help you get started in this work.
 Why We Must Grow Wheat.
 Arkansas people who expect to use wheat flour nut grow their own grain if they are to be sure of getting it. However, those who plant wheat should take every precaution to get a maximum yield. The seed bed must be prepared we'll and early, and the seed must be treated for smut, since surveys made by the county agents with the Extension Division show [ that smut is prevalent throughout the State. Ask the county agent to give you instructions for treating wheat for smut.
 Use Fertilizers for Fall Grain Crops.
 Order Now.
 Fertilizers for fall grain crops pay in Arkansas, even when prices are normal, according to the experiments conducted by the College of Agricul- ture at Fayetteville. With the present prices, certainly fertilizer will pay, and 1t should be ordered at once, since the freight car shortage will undoubt- edly cause delay in delivery. Most of the soils of Arkansas are deficient in phosphorus and many of them are de ficient in both nitrogen and phos- phorus. It is recommended that for upland soils which have not been manured recently. 400 pound of mix ture containing equal parts of acid phosphate and cottonseed meal be used. Nitrate of soda at the rate of l 100 pounds per acre may be used in

AFTER THE WAR MILlTARlsMa

On Sunday, September 22, I rode ill a jitney to Camp Pike and realized to the fullest the pleasure of good roads.
 On this subject Tom Glaze predicts that this camp now the largest in the United States will become a perma- nency and that there will be bridge across the river near the Little Mau melle's mouth and road south of the river on top of the ridge through For est Park, which will be reserved for officers of the camp and will become one of the most beautiful and noted drives of America.
 We have quickly become a military nation and it is for time to tell as to it's permanency.
 I passed by the home of an old ex- slave, Cato Johnson, who was 93 years old the 18th of September and is still able to do as hard a days work as most young men. He had four children when freed, or he ex- pressed it "when my old master took the halter off me and turned me loose in the woods with my family to root hog or die." He only has one child and seven grandchildren living.
 One of the best farms and stock ranches on the north side of the river is that of H. A. Bolin away up on the very top of a mountain where he has a large free range. The land is fresh and he wishes to sell. G. M. Robert son desires to sell also. Both get their mail on R. F. D. 3, Jacksonville.
 B. Sunderman, when I called on him, was making over his peanut dig get. He has one of the best ever made, but it is not good eneough to suit him. AS soon as he gets it so 1t will harvest the peanuts to his own satisfaction, he will patent it and go | to manufacturing them for sale. He I is the largest peanut grower in the county and threshes for all of the | Jacksonville section.

He hopes as the re- suit of this war wherein the Ameri- cans are doing so much for the Pol 1 ish nation that they will all become Americanized excepting those who return to their native land. He says America is good enough for him, just 1 what he wants.
