SAVES THREE LIVES

Last Thursday afternoon, June 20, 1918, while a party of young people were spending the afternoon at Grays, a DOT tion of the pleasure of the oc- casion was spoiled when Misses Ruth Anderson and Blanche Powell and MT. R. w. Beck were nearly drowned. Had it not been for the cool work of MT. Dane Angus of this city, all three would have been lost.
 The three were in bathing in a pocket of the river and as 1t happened the two ladies slipped off into deep water. MT. Beck followed but was nearly drowned in his efforts to rescue them. MT. Angus was standing on the bank and did not have on a swimming suit for he could not swim a stroke, but when he saw the fu- tile efforts of MT. Beck, he plunge in and saved him. He said that the reason he saved MT. Beck first was be- cause he knew he could swim and thought possibly that he could assist him in rescuing the ladies. But MT. Beck was completely exhausted and MT. Angus took in the situation in an instant and then by holding to a tree top he reached Miss Powell who had submerged one time. After she was on the bank and in safety. Mr. Angus went in the third time and saved Miss Anderson who had drifted about 50 yards in the strong current and who had begun to submerge for the third time.
 Had it not been for the quick work and presence of mind of MT. Angus all three persons would have been drowned.

ADOPT UNIFORMS

A very sensible movement has been launched by girls of our High School in the adop- tion of uniform dress, begin ming October 1st. It was de- cided that all girls of the Wynne High School above the age of 12 years would be ex- pected to dress in a middy blouse, skirt, shoes with Cu- ban or military heel, cotton hose and plain hats.
 This movement has the ap- proval of the parents of the girls as we'll as Supt. Willis and the School Board. It is a splendid costume for our girls to wear and more eco- nomical way to dress, especi- ally during the duration of the war-Wynne Progress.

Dealers Need No License.

Country merchants have been in con-
siderable doubt since the licensing sys-
tenn went into effect as to their right
to purchase butter, eggs and other COM
modities from the farmers and then
resell to the jobbers, as was the case
before the new rule went into effect.
Under a ruling by the law depart
ment of the food administration, just
issued, country merchants may pur-
chase butter and eggs as formerly
without procuring a license, but on
all other items, such as beans, dried
fruits, etc, it will be necessary to
have a license as wholesalers.
Should dealers not wish to take out
license to handle these other com
modities and their customers have
them for sale, jobbers will take the
goods direct, so that producers should
not have any trouble in disposing OF
their stuff.

Theaters and restaurants in Den

According to records of the selective

The manufacture and consumption
of pastry regarded as a luxury in
France has been entirely suppressed,
except on Sundays and holidays.
Boys and girls clubs in northern

pronounce it first class. The probable
ity of grinding Australian wheat at
Minneapolis grows larger. If Pacific
coast wheat is diverted to this milling
center for grinding because of the lack
of tonnage to carry it to Europe via
the Panama canal, no doubt the in
creasing cargoes of Australian wheat
arriving at Pacific ports will be sent
here. Feverish efforts of the Japanese
to build tonnage for use in the Pa
cific will probably have much to do
with the volume of the movement. Re
cent Japanese reports indicate extra
ordinary efforts to build merchant
marine. There is persistent pressure
of Australian wheat owing to deterior-
alton and the approach of a new crop.
The result would be that much new
tonnage would be used in carrying
supplies to this country.
Flour.-The inquiry for prices under
the new rules and regulations promul-
gated by the food administration is
tremendous All the mills seem to be
going slow before submitting any firm
offerings and then figure out just
where they will come out if they take
5 per cent out of 100 per cent. -four
and just what kind of a price they will
get for this class of flour. Inquiries
are coming from all markets and
buyers are anxious to get flour. Mills
with a supply of patents on hand are
disposing of it as fast as they can get
cars.
Feed.-There has been change in
conditions surrounding the market for
millfeed and the trade has become
thoroughly acquainted with conditions
| enough to make liberal sales or pur-
chases. The business during the past
week was mostly in the way of car
| lots lots of mixed feed and this will
continue for several weeks to come
There is a sharp demand for supplies
extending over a wide territory. Mil
lers have been revising their feed quo
tations as a result of the government
regulations.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Post-holiday in
fiuences, inventorying, intensely cold
weather east and south and heavy
SHOWS at the west have made for a
quiet week in ordinary distributive
trade, and weather plus coal and car
shortage have curtailed manufacture

appears most acute in the north At
lantic states, the coolest. weather ever
recorded having special effect in and
near New York, where the coal short
age caused the closing of many Of

Gripping of educational and charitable

Circle Window Display.

With a point at the center of the
back of the window as its center a
semi-circle is described on the floor of
he window running from one rear cor
ner around to the forward part of
the window and back to the other rear
corner. Upon this line low fence of
cartons is built. The Grecian Key eff
feet is produced by raising every
other carton and placing beneath it
on the floor a carton with its end ex-
posed to view. These cartons, which
are placed endwise, of course, must
lie horizontally on the floor and con-
verge toward the center of the circle.
At either end of the window similar
low fence loops are also constructed
and upon each of the higher cartons
in the three loops is placed can. In
each of the rear corners where the
loops meet a pyramid of cans is topped
with bottles. At the rear center of
the window a semi-circular cone effect
of cartons is built up in steps with a
row of apples on each step and a
group of bottles topping the whole.
few small fiat cans are conventionally
placed in the triangular spaces left at
he forward part of the window. larger
vertical cans also are topped with
horizontal cans.-Modern Grocer.

RUSS|A-GERMANY
TALK PEACE TERMS
TROTZkY GIVES UP ON HIS DE-
MAND TO MOVE CONFER
ENcE TO STOCKHOLM.
AIMS OF MEETING KNOWN
Cardinal Principle Of New Regime at
Petrograd Is friendship-Count
Ukraine Spokesman of New
Republic.

Yielding to German insistence, Rus
STA has withdrawn her demand for the
transfer of the negotiations with the
central powers to Stockholm and is
proceeding with separate peace discus
sion at Brest-Litovsk.
Avoid Technical Grounds.
The Russian compliance on this
point was on the ground that the quad
ripple alliance would thereby be de-
prived of "a pretext for breaking Off
peace negotiations on technical
grounds" according to Leon Trotzky,
the bolshevik spokesman. The Rus
slams did not wish to leave any posi-
bility in the fight for peace unutilized,
he said.
Trotzky reiterated that peace was a
cardinal principle with the bolsheviki,
and declared they would continue to
press for it, despite the refusal of the
entente powers to join in the negotia-
lions. While noting that the central
powers had withdrawn their mo an
nexations and no indemnities" declara-
ton of December 25 as a basis for
peace because the entent powers had
not agreed to participate in the par
legs, the Russians, Trotzky added, ad-
hered to the principles of a democratic
peace as they had already set them
forth.
Get Down to Business.
After the Russian position had been
thus voiced the conferees apparently
got down quickly to business. They
left the question of separate repre-
sentation for the Ukraine in the con
ference for decision at a plenary ses
sion after the delegates of the centra
powers had talked it over among
themselves. Then they arranged fol-
the German, Austro-H Hungarian ant
Russian delegations to get together
for private discussions. These three
sets of delegates speedily organized
themselves into a committee for the
discussion of political and territorial
questions and went into session fol
this purpose.
The Ukrainian spokesman at tn,
conference gave notice that any peac,
settlement that might be reache,
would be binding upon the Ukrain,
the same principle applied to eth
other Russian republics
BoIsheviki May Quit
The London Daily News CORE
spondent at Petrograd sent the fol
lowing Monday:
"The final rupture of negotiation
at Brest-Litovsky may be expects
at any moment if, as seems probable
the German militarists continue t
impose their policy on their dele
gates"
The correspondent says a dispatc
from Kuban reports that the Turk
have broken the armistice by lane
ing 10000 troops between Trebizon
and Lie, and that a submarine ha
sunk a Russian transport.
Russians Are Suspicious.
The Russian account of the sessio
of the peace conference at Bres
Litovsk shows a considerable var
ance from the German version trans
mitted by the Wolff Bureau Satu,
day. The Russian version picture
the Russian delegates as actin
throughout without more than a SUI
picion-rather than an actual convi
tion-that the German delegates wer
virtually agents of the military an
annexationist groups.

Food Supply of France.

According to the Food Administra-
ton, shortage of wheat in France is
becoming more and more alarming
each week. Denmark is now looking
forward to a reduction of wheat ra-
tons. The food situation in Switzer-
land is rapidly falling to the danger
line. A ration that is far below the
consumption in many of the countries
at war has already been ordered.
