To Chairmen Local Committees, To Arkansas Consumers of Coal:
 1. The fuel situation confronting the nation is serious. It is impera- tive that there be cooperative dis position on the part of steam-users to equip their boilers for the use of such grades of coal as may be avail able, if the domestic consumers and the essential industries are not to have shortage of prepared sizes during the trying days of the con- ing winter.
 ?. Loss of coal production in many of the western states, includ- ing Arkansas, is largely attributable to the fact that there is not now suf- ficient means for the untilization Of slack coal The early ordering can1-' paign in this state has met with 1T ready response on the part of con-E sumers, and retail dealers report they booked sufficient orders to keep them busy 60 days, and those who have not placed their orders should do so now.
 3. Industrial plants and the con- |sumers of prepared sizes are expected to do their full duty, and the steam users are called upon to make pre- parations for the use of more slack, or the whole system of production and distribution will be badly crip- |pled.
 4. It is urged upon the owners of steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa- triotic duty, that they proceed to| equip their boilers with special grates and blowers to enable them Ito burn and utilize approximately one hundred and fifty thousand tons Issf ssf3, Anthracite slack that for the pres7 ent. fSagrnss is no market, and plac& their orders to the sxte2t of storage capacity. &1 ri
 5. This applies especially to An thracite slack. The changes in fire| box equipment can be made at q comparatively small cost and it will, in the end, prove to be more ecoroIn- ical, on account of the lower cost of slack, and at the same time, will aid in the production of Anthracite cosN that is so badly needed.
 6. Get ready to burn more slack and keep the miners busy.

Euh5er in Japan.

The rubber manufacturing industry in Japan has developed greatly within the past year in the scope and variety of it's products. In the export trade, too, its importance is increasing. The growth of the industry may be seen from the steady increase in the i'm DOT. of crude rubber The official trade returns state that the import in 1917 totaIed 9,6S9.632 yen over the figure for 1915. Formerly most of the auto mobile tires used in Japan were inn ported inro that country, but now the greater part of Japan's needs are sup piled by domestic manufacturers The export Of automobile tires has also begun with the development of rubber plants in Japan.

FROM PALACE OF PHARAOH
University of Pennsylvania to Have Pillar That Once Adorned
 Rulers Throneroom.

The first word in long time from the Eckley B. Coxe expedition to Egypt has been received at the University of Pennsylvania museum from Dr. Clarence $. Fisher, it's leader. Doctor Fisher reported excellent success dur ing the winter explorations at Den dereh, the ancient capital of Egypt, up the Nile.
 In April he returned to Memphis and continued his work of uncovering the palace of Merenpthah, who is identi- fled by many Biblical scholars as the Pharaoh of the Oppression, whose stubbornness brought on the plaques. If this is correct, the great hall and throneroom of the palace, which has now been completely uncovered, was the scene of the appearance of Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh, and where the signs and wonders were performed. The throne is said to be in good con- dition, but Egypt will not permit it to come to this country.
 Fortunately, Doctor Fisher has worked over the pieces of the 12 colos- sal pillars which upheld the roof and has recovered enough to make one complete pillar, which will be brought to the university museum and set up. It will be the most notable specimen of Egyptian architecture in this coun- try. The pillars were six feet in diam eter, 80 feet high, covered with in scriptions and pictures inlaid with gold. Much of the paneling of the room and the lintels of the doors also were inlaid with gold, and these will be brought here.
 The natives of Egypt, it is said, call the palace "The Temple of Noses" as they have an idea that is where he was reared.

The Beargrease family has been
very hard stricken with desease and
death during this epidemic. Mrs,
John Beargrease, who. died the day
before, being a member of the same
family, makes three deaths in two
days. All three were buried at the
same time, making a very sad sight
indeed. The funeral took place last
Saturday and interment was made in
the Catholic cemetery at Chippewa
village where they were laid in the
same grave. The funeral was strictly
private, only a few of the nearest
relatives being present at the grave.
George was a promising young man
about twenty years Of age, son Of the
late, Mr.. and Mrs. John Beargrease.
He was a native Of this county and
educated in the local school. Peter,
his uncle, was about sixty years, of
age, was always congenial and
pleasant to everybody. His ready

J CLOVER SEED OUTLOOK

From all the information available
as to production the past year,
stocks on hand and demand, it is
evident that red and alsike clover
seed will be very high in price and
difficult to obtain during the coming
spring: Last spring, under more
favorable conditions than at. present,
prices ruled high. Clover seed
bought for farmers and retailed at
actual cost resulted in a price of 40
cents per pound for medium red and
80 cents per pound for alsike. Seed
of similar purity and termination is
quoted at prices approximately Is
per cent higher at present and will
doubtless advance still farther. Mix
lures of. red or alsike clovers with
timothy are more reasonable in price
and, as the general practice in this
county is to SOW such mixtures, it
would be advisable to buy the mixed
seed. But whether the seeds are
boutght separately or in mixtures
the farmer who plans on sewing clo-
YER next spring would be wise TO
buy his seed as soon as possible
The present. condition of affairs
make it pertinent\to raise the ques-
tion of the county's producing clo-
yer seeds for it's own needs and a
surplus for sale All who have in
vestigated the matter are convinced
that conditions in this county are
especially favorable to the growing
of such seed. And it would appear
reasonable that by cooperative ac-
tion in the purchase of the neces-
sary hulling machinery a number of
formers in any community could prof
itably undertake the growing of a
few acres of clover seed. No doubt
the present high prices will stimu-
late production in all seed growing
districts and prices will eventually
rule lower. But prices couldk fall
considerably and still leave the crop
a profitable one for this county,
when the item of freight charges on
products is considered. AS an illu-
stration of the advantage possessed
by products of high value in pro-
portion to weight it may be stated
that at the present market prices
and freight rates the charges on a
bushel Of potatoes represent 16 per
cent of the market value, and the
charges on bushel of clover seed
represent less than one per cent of
it's value. This difference is suffi-
cient to make profitable small ship
ments of the one where such sized
shipments of the other would prove
Improbable

With the cessation of hostilities
the Red Cross is called upon to COM
bat a new epidemic, originating this
time within it's own ranks. The af-
Fiction is known as I'm-thru-enza. u

use? It's all over. Why should
work?" Steps are being taken to
isolate the germ-also those who are
carrying it.
The epidemic is not widespread;
nevertheless an effort is being made
to stem it's advance.
"Cold feet" is a marked symptom
: Another indication of the presence
of the germ is forgetfulness (thai
