GROWERS TO GRIND
THEIR OWN FLOUR
MANY COMMUNITIES ARE FORM
ING LITTLE COMPANIES TO PUR.
CHASE MACHINERY THAT
WILL MAKE USE OF GRAIN.

Many communities of Arkansas are
organizing stock companies for the
purpose of purchasing flour mills
During the past week the Southwest
ern Supply Company has received in
quiries and sent representatives tc
several communities that have already
organized and are in the market for
small mills.
There seems to be disposition on
the part of the farmers to make the
most out of their wheat by converting
It into flour. They will then sell the
flour and get all the profit. Meal
mills will also be operated so that
when the flour is sold an equal amount
of substitute can also be sold.
Under government regulations mill
ers must produce barrel of noun
from four bushels and "a pounds OF
wheat, and this cannot be done with
much of the old style machinery IN
the state. The Southwestern Supply
Company has recently taken The
agency for a mill that makes from 10
to so barrels of flour daily, and it is
this mill that the farmers are becom-
ing so interested in, for the capital
required to purchase it is small.

ner, by the assembly, under the di.
rection of Prof. Evans.
The Boy Scouts, under the leader
ship of the Rev. L. E, N. Hundley of
Pulaski Heights, scout commissioner,
established their camp, with tents
and full equipment, on the park
grounds Thursday morning. They
featured the program by raising a
large American flag. Following the
raising of the American flag more
than twenty young women, repre-
senting the allied countries at war
with Germany, unfurled the flags of
the nations they represented. Spe-
cial attention was given to make this
attractive number the most beautiful
feature of the program.

NOT WORRIED
BY OIL REPORTS
T. J. GAY RETURNS FROM KAN
sAs CITY POSITIVE THE GOV
EMINENT Is NOT GOING TO
INJuRE OIL BUSINESS.

Reports that there is to be a heavy
tax on gasoline are elassed as canards
by 7. J. Gay, president of the Gay Oil
Company, who has just returned from
Kansas City. Mr.. Gay is positive in
the opinion that the government is
not going to do anything that will
cripple an industry so prominent as
the oil business, and one which is SO
essential in the war.
There was at one time talk of a
tax of two cents a gallon" states Mr.
Gay, "but nothing came of it, and
then there was a tax of one cent per
gallon on gasoline under considera-
ton I don't know what came of that,
but it never went through. Congress
will keep on discussing a tax on oil,
and may eventually decide on one,
but if it does it will be so small there
will be no hardship anywhere.
cat the present time the operators
are producing more oil than ever.
The growing navy makes the demand
for. fuel oil heavier every day, and IL
is going to tax the industry probably
before the war ends, but there is
nothing to get alarmed about. At
present the refiners are making more
gasoline in order to get larger guam
tity of fuel oil for the government.
and we now have a large supply on
hand.
"Of course, if the government stops
The new process of refining oil, which
is really a re-refining of the residue
after the first process, it will lessen
the supply of gasoline but I don't
think enough of it is manufactured in
this way to make any real material
difference"

Clean Up and Save Your Livestock.
Every year large number of ami
mails are lost in Arkansas from infec-
tious diseases. One way to help avoid
such death dealers as black leg, navel
i'll of stockings, distemper and calf
scours is to keep the barn and lois
clean. 1t will pay to clean up and
disinfect the barn, sheds and pens

has been added two per cent crude

Get Something On Stubble Land
Right Away.
Help produce more forage to turn
into meat. Get something on the
stubble land right away-although the
yields from late planted crops will be
lighter than can usually be expected
from earlier paintings. A combination
of sorghum and cowpeas, seeded with
a grain drill will probably produce
as large a yield of forage as anything.

NOT TOO LATE TO
PLANT SWEET CORN
MISS MINNIE ALLEN SAYS EVER
FARM WOMAN IN THE coUN-
TY SHOULD HAVE A
SMALL PATCH.

According to Miss Minnie T. Allen,
County Home Economics Agent, it is
not too late to plant sweet corn in
the gardens at least. Every farm wo-
man. in the county should have Il
small patch of sweet corn for drying
because it is more easily handled
tl,an most any other food IL pre-
ferred. some may be canned How
ever. every one should have a surplus
of dried sweet corn on hand
Rules To Observe in Canning Fruit
and Vegetables as Outlined BY
Miss Allen.
/ Gather vegetables and fruit ear
" in the day, and keep cool until
used.
2. Never can oyer-ripe fruit. New
er can tough or old vegetables.
3. Thoroughly clean all vegetables
and fruit to be used.
4. sterilize by boiling all jars, tins
and yubbers to be used in canning.
5. Be sure the rubbers are good. If
your jars leak air your fruit spoil.
Dry Fruits and Vegetables We
Must Have.
Hundreds of bushels of second
grade apples and peaches rot in the
orchards of Arkansas every season,
and they must be saved this year as
well as the vegetables, which should
be dried. Bulletins telling how TO
make driers for indoor or outdoor use
as well as directions for preparing
the fruit and vegetables can be Sc
cured by writing Miss Allen, Old Court
House, Little Rock, Ark Following
are directions for some of the things
which would should preserve by dry
ing either for home use or for the
marget:
PEACHES: Peaches are usually
dried unpeeled. They may be peeled
if desired. Cut in halves, pit, lay III
trays, pit side up, and dry at same
temperature and for same length Of
time as apples.
APPLES AND PEARS: Pare, core,
and cut apples in one-eights, or core
and slice in rings, using fruit or vege-
table slicer AS apples discolor
quickly do not let stand long before
drying To prevent discoIoration as
the fruit is prepared it may be dipped
for one minutes into a cold salt bath,
using one ounce of sale to one gallon
of water. Remove surface moisture
and dry at ITO to $50 degrees F., rails
ing temperature gradually. Dry from
four to six hours, and longer if nee
essary. Pears are dried in the same
way as apples. They may be steamed
10 minutes before drying
SWEET CORN: Select very young
and tender corn, and prepare at once
after gathering Boil or steam on tie
cob eight to 10 minutes to set the
milk To improve flavor a teaspoon
fui Of salt to gallon of water may
be used. Drain well and cut corn from
cob, using a very sharp and flexible
Knife. Cut grains fine, only halfway
down to the cob, and scarpe out the
remainder of the grain, being careful
not to scrape off any of the chaff next
TO the cob. Dry from three to four
hours at ITO to las degrees. When
held corn is used, good plump roast
ing ear stage is the proper degree of

A BOMB IN THE MAKING

r. HAT certain interests" in Salt Lake City have
been engaged in Systematically knocking"
the Arrowhead Trail to southern California, has
been well known for some time but just who and
what these interests and their reasons for
doing so have been somewhat of a problem, but
one that is being fast solved by information being
collected by friends of this route little later,
when the time gets fully ripe, bomb is going to
be exploded among this gang of traitors to their
own state by the publication of number of sworn
afidavits which will show the pressure brought
to bear on tourists to induce them to choose the
Lincoln Highway via Ely, New. Club officials, pol
iticians, garage and even some of the news
papers are implicated in the traitorous conduct,
the vote and patronage of the southern counties
of the state, which are being thus unfairly dealt
with.
The attitude of the Salt Lake people is influ-
enced entirely by selfish motives. The people of
Ely are good spenders and it is thought to increase
the flow of cash from this source to Salt Lake
City by boosting for the California highway that
runs through the Nevada town.
In order to convince the traveller that the Lin
coin Highway is better route to California than
the Arrowhead Trail all kinds of ridiculous state
ments are made-that the southern route is eX-
cessively hot and through great sand desert
almost impossible and requiring the carrying OF
a barrel of water ones car; that the road is
to get through Tourists who have been filled up
with this sort Of dope have been surprised beyond
measure at the condition of the Trail, which they

say is little short of a boulevard from Salt Lake
City to st. George, and with the exception of a
few short stretches that shortly to be i'm
proved, all the way through to California.
When the facts are barred that are now being
accumulated, the Salt Lakers engaged in this sort
of knocking of their own state, for the sake of
small business advantages of purely personal
nature will be referred to by name and business,
and will receive little more publicity than they
will relish If they feel it their duty to get out
and knock their own state, they might at least
confne themselves to the truth and not state such
ridiculous untruths as are attributed to them by
tourists swearing to affdavits recently
AS a matter of fact the Arrowhead Trail is
better and shorter route to California than the
Lincoln Highway, and is almost universally adj
mitted to be such by tourists familiar with both
roads The bad spots are gradually being elm
mated, and when the program of improvements
arranged for is carried out it will be a first
class auto highway. If these Salt Lake business
men and politicians were to get in and help boost
this program of Improvement of road which
extends the entire length of their state, instead
of trying to divert the travel off to one side they
would reflect much more credit on themselves and
would be working to their own ultimate advan-
tage If they presst in their present course they
will wake up directly and find themselves in the
position of the calf that left its mother to follow
a steer out of the country A hint to the wise is
sufficient.

FRUIT MARKET AGAIN

A FEW difficulties were encountered last year
in the conducting of the cooperative fruit
market for the purpose of handling the product
of the Dixie country in the most efficient and sat
isfying manner between the producer and the con-
sumner here. Some errors were made, and the re-
suits were not altogether satisfactory. However,
it was new departure and it was to be expected
that some things would have to be learned by ex-
perence. A lot of people both here and in the
Dixie land convinced that the principle is cor
rect, and that by the elimination of few of the
errors committed last year, the market can be
made blessing for both producer and consumer.
It's advantages are, uniformity of price and of
product; scientific packing and handling of the
product, with inspection at both ends of the haul
and when found necessary sorting and regarding
of the fruit, which cannot fail to improve the
quality of the fruit supplied to families in this 10
cality.
Another advantage of the market will be that
there will be uniform price and the consumer
will be relieved of the responsibility and fatigue
of dickerng with pedders, or fearing they are
paying too much for their fruit The prices will
possibly range little higher per pound, but this
will more than be compensated for by the fact
that the item of short weight so common to the
peddler's wagon with his uncertain balances, the
elimination of inferior fruit and the assurance
that the product will all be in commercial con-
dition at the time of delivery.
The establishment of the Market is expected
to eliminate the wastes involved in time spent in
hawking the fruit about, that of spoage due to
the arrival of too abundant quantities at certain
times and an nsufficency at Others and the de-
moralization of the market by unbusiness-like
methods and prices
If everyone falls in and supports the Commun-
ity Market, placing their orders early enough to
enable the promoters to regulate the deliveries
and handle the supply in the best possible condi-
ton, we feel sure that everyone will be benefited

GERMANY'S MAN POWER

IT HE fact that the last two or three offensives
started by the Central Powers have lacked
the strength AMI pep" of the March blow, seems
to indicate that their man power is on the wane.
And it could scarcely be otherwise if any cred
dence whatever can be placed in the press dis
patches reaching this country. All the news COM
ing from the battle front for the past several
weeks seems to bear out this assumption. 1t be-
ing admitted, then, that the heavy losses of the
Prussans is beginning to tell on their effective
ness, it naturally follows that, with the ever in
creasing number of Americans the fighting
line, it will be necessary for the Central Powers
in order to continue the war for any considerable
length of time to find a means of filling up the
gaps in their organizations. Of course, there is
a new crop of boys coming on each year which
may possibly yied close to a million soldiers, not
more for the military dictators have already been
cheating the youth out of their boyhood. There
is no use of increasing the draft limit the other
way, for it has already been extended to sixty
and each year the men who did not come within
the age limit at first are getting year older. Can
Russia be depended upon to supply the needed
man power? We fancy not; for if Russia had
been willing to fight she would have stayed in the
war on the side of the allies. And the indications
are that Russia may soon be back in the war, with
the aid of the Allies and Japan and China.
What chance of ultimate success can Germany
see in the war program then? Not any, we fancy
unless it is the expectation that Got" will send
hosts from heaven to aid the Kaiser in his unhoy
massacre of Christians.
Verify the German empire and its wild dreams
of world power and the extension of the German
language and German "kultur" to all peoples OF
the earth are fast crumbng The curtain is being
drawn closer and closer about her. and before long
this blot will have been removed from the face OF
the earth and some of the henious wrongs she
has committed in the pursuit of her unholy am
bition for power.

wife, who had had baby two days
before, in the house. He was taken to
the square, lined up against wall
with three other big men of the town.
Then he saw his wife and baby being
carried to the square on mattress by
four Germans. He begged to be al
lowed to kiss his wife good-by, and
they granted him permission. AS he
stepped away, there was rattle and
the other men went West. They shot
him, too. but though he was riddled
with bullets he lived, somehow, and
begged the German officer to let him
accompany his wife to the prison
where they were taking her. This was
granted too, but on the way, they
heard the sound Of firing. The soldiers
yelled, die Franzosen !" and dropped
the mattress and ran. But II was only
some of their own butchers at work.
Doctor Laurent carried his wife and
baby to an old aqueduct that was being
rebuilt by the creek. There they lived
for three days and three nights, on the
few herbs and the water that Doctor
Laurent sneaked out and got at night.
Doctor Laurent says that when the
Germans killed and cruclfied the civil
ians at Dixmude, they first robbed
them of their watches, pocketbooks,
rings and other things. There was a
Madame Tilmans there, who had had
three thousand francs stolen from her
and was misused besides.
These were just n very few Of the
things that happened at just one place
where the Germans got to work with
their "kultur." So you can picture the
Belgians agreeing on Il German peace,
while there is Belgian alive to argue
about it. They will remember the Ger
mans long time, 1 think. But they
need not worry: there are lot Of US
who will not forget, either.
