1000 ACRES OF THE RICHEST land in Arkansas, in small tracts and easy payments. Do you know that it is admost impossible for the man of moderate means to buy a tract of bottom land at price anr on terms that the payment can be met without seriously stinting the living expenses at home. Any man who ever expects to own a farm, either to live on or as an invest ment, land that the proceeds of one crop for one year will pay for the land in full, will do we'll to investi- gate this property. An investment made now will soon make you inde- pendent. Come in and let us talk the matter over with you. Delta Land Company, 2O6 Citizens Bank Bldg, Pine Bluff, Ark. :" 5-1-1nn

( hicagO Market

Chicago, May Several drops in temperature brought about up turns today in the value of corn. The sudden change of weather conditions was bencraly believed to be ad- verse to crop progress. On the ad vance in prices however, selling in- creased, owing partly to official de- nlal of reports that the government had placed large contracts for alco- hol. Opening quotations, which rang cd from 5-Sc to 1 l-4e higher, with June 1. .37 and July .3S 1-4 tc .3S l-2 were followed by a modeartc reac- ton.
 Rallies took place but in the late trading persistent selling in small lots more than wiped out the grains. War mcr weather was in prospect. The close was heavy, 5-Sc to -4c net lower, with June l.35 Is and July l.36 3-S to .36 1-2.
 Oats hardened as a result of the corn strength. Shorts were the chief buyers. After opening 3-4c off to 5-Sc up, the market scored slight further gains.
 Provisions weakened with hogs, and, though, was relative firm.
 Reports indicating ten per cent in crease of brood sows on farms count cd later against holders.
 New York Market
 New York, May 28.-Thc cotton market opened barely steady today at a decline of to 16 points with July selling off to 24.35 and October to 23.l3, after the call, or about IF to 20 points net lower; sellers found encouragement in the favorable weather map, bearish crop reports and lower Liverpool cables and it seemed to be generally expected that the weekly report of the weather bureau tomorrow would make fav- orabe showing. Offerings were we'll taken on this early decline however, and the market soon firmed up on re- newed covering. July was again re- latively firm on the reports of a bet ter spot demand, selling up to PATIO before the end of the first hour, or IS points net higher, while new crop deliveries showed net gains of 10 to IS points, with October selling at 23.46.
 The advance extended to 24.85 fer July and 23.70 for October before the end of the morning, or about 33 to 3S points net higher, on continued cover ing and moderate demand from trade source. The later war news was considered encouraging and the to cover shorts before the bureau was probably increased by the failure of bearish private report to promote mere active or aggressive selling. A report issued by south western authority placed the condi- tion at 80.6 but was less favorable as to acreage, which was estimated at 99.9 per cent of last years.
 The market was quiet during the carly afternoon with fluctuations mar row and with active ruling 21 tc 20 points net higher, or around 23.61 for October
 Cotton closed firm.

MUST BUILD FOOD RESERVE
Continuing Our Conservation Of
Food After Harvest
BY HERBERT HOOVER.

"At meeting of the federal food
administrators in Washington, repre-
senting all 4S states, 1t was the unani-
nous view that even If the harvest
does prove abundant 1t will be the
first duty of the American people to
place every grain they can save into
storage as against possible bad years
ahead In consequence there should be
no anticipation of unlimited wheat
bread until the war is over.
Some of the most inconvenient re-
strictions can no doubt be modified
with the arrival of large harvest, but
If we are honest with ourselves we will
maintain restrictions, requiring the use
of some substitutes both domestic and
commercial: we will continue the re-
oufrements of high milling extraction
and the elimination Of the noneSsential
use of and waste in -four and bread.
lit Is worth remembering that the
famine in Egypt 5000 years ago was
stayed by governmental foresight and
it does not require any illuminating
dream to anticipate that so long as
the war lasts, with it's increasing
drafts for soldiers and munition work
ers, the world will steadily produce
less food. If we are wise a great har-
vest will mean the willing building up
of great national reserves

HOW TO USE BARLEY FLOUR
Home Economies Experts Tell How to
Get Good Results With It

Barley flour is the best, cheapest and
most accessible substitute flour on the
market 1t Is light colored and con.
tafns enough gluten to be used for
wheat -four in any kind of recipe ex.
cept. perhaps, yeast bread. The fol
lowing precautions should, however, be
observed in IT'S use:
1. Barley flours are not uniform In
quality and the amount of liquid to be
added varies a little.
2. Barley flour absortls more water
than wheat flour, therefore the barley
muffin or cake batter win seem little
sitter than If made with an equal
amount Of wheat -four
8. Since one cupful Of barley flour
weighs but three ounces. while one
cupful of wheat flour weighs four, the
-four should be sifted once and about
two tableSpoonfuls more added to each
cupful Of flour called for.
4. The addition Of egg is almost nee
essary to secure good muffin or bis
cult mixture made with barley.
5. The flavor of barley mixtures IS
objectionable to some persons when
used alone. This may be overcome if
small amount of cornstarch, potato
-four, corn -four, cornmeal or mashed
potatoes is substituted for part of the
barley flour. A dash OF mace or nut
meg improves shortcake coughs.
6. The better texture and more nois-
ture are obtained IN barley mixtures
If one-fourth cupful of cold mashed po-
tatoes are added with every cupful of
barley -four.
Z. Mullins. breads and cakes made
should bake longer and at lower tenn.
perature than those made with wheat
-four.

WHEAT is NOT AN ESSENTIAL
State Medical Secretary Issues 4 State.
ment for the Food Admin
Istratlon.

DR.. Guf1ford 81. Sumner, secretary Of
the Iowa department Of health and
medical examiner Of the state, agrees
with the other health experts who
have assured Herbert Hoover and
Food Administrator Deems Of Iowa
that wheat -four is not essential to he
diet In order to preserve health and
maintain strength. In stHtement r.
sued recently Doctor Sumner said, In
part:
wheat is not the most nutritious
substance which can be obtained, and
any Of the cereals such as oatmeal
barley and rye may be substituted In
animals, as, for instance, in the horse
the same facts may be observed: The
English race horses, well fed with oats,
present a contrast to the puny Hum
garian farm horses fed principally with
hay.
1.-THE people Of this country have
learned to live upon fine -four, and
have noted this for some time, that
some of the elements which are very
nutritious are taken away from the
wheat and the amount of nutrition
given is not what might be expected
or what we ought to have. /,
II believe that we could eat large
quantities Of rice as q substitute for
wheat.
II might say IN this connection that
it would be well to advise the use Of
milk, cottage cheese, for the dairy
products are natural food elements
and can be relied upon for human sus-
tenance; therefore, allow me to state
that the people of the United States
could live year if necessary without
wheat entirely"

OUR RATION OF BEEF
is CUT WAY DOWN
We Can Eat Only a Pound and a
Quarter a Week Untl
September Is
BY HERBERT HOOVER.

To the Public:
The demands for beef for our army
and the allied armies and their civil
populations for this summer are be-
yond our present surpluA On the 9th
er hand, we have enough increased sup
ply Of pork this summer to permit eco
nomical expansion in its use. It Will
therefore be direct service to our
army and the allies II our people
would. In some degree, substitute fresh
pork, bacon. hams and sausages tor
beef products
We request all hotels and restau'
rants not to place on their menus OF
serve boiled beef more than two meals
weekly, beefsteak more than one meal
weekly, and roast beef more than one
meal weekly.
We ask householders not under any
circumstances to buy more than one
and one-quarter pounds of clear beef
weekly, or one and one-half pounds
including the bone, per person in the
household.
The public wifi realize that the
changing conditions of production froT
season to season, the changing sitna
ton in shipping, and therefore Of the
markets available to the allies, and
the increasing demands for our grow
ing army, with the fluctuat1ng supply
Of local beef in France, all make II
impossible to determine policies FOL
long periods in advance.
We have recently asked for economy
In all meat consumption. We wish
now to emphasize further reduction
Of beef, etc. It is anticipated that II
will hold good until September 18th
'191S and the cooperation Of the public
Is most earnestly requested.
