HOUSEsDEFEATS THE COTTON TAX
 PLAN lO0 ID 28
War Revenue Measure To Be Passed Finally in the House TOday-Little Change Made in the Bill.

Washington, Sept 19. Except ing only a roll call on fiual passage tomorrow and disposal of two minor amendmnets the $S,000, 100000 war revenue bill, which has been in the making since last May was completed today by the House.
 The measure as it will go to the Senate, contains practically no modi- fication of the major taxes on in- comes, war profits and luXuries as drafted by the House ways and means committee. Secretary McAdoo today issued a statement that the treasury department would not ask at pres ent for any increase in the bills $S,- GOO 0000,000 tax levy. An increase, Mir. McAdoo stated would be unwise and unnecessary.
 The vote on final passage is eX- pected soon after the House convenes.
 Besides defeat of proposals for ldA Ol 90 d DdlC hi NOkloIls lIN NiIlih labor amendment of Representative Green of Iowa, and a proposal to re- peal the present mixed flour tax and regulations, the House today made a number of important changes, but none without sanction by the ways and means committee.
 Some changes proposed by the com mittee and adopted by the House in- cluded;
 Extension of the business license or occupation of $10 annually to per sans engaged in any trade, business, or profession, whose gross receipts exceed $2,500, with an additional S5 tax for wholesalers.
 Elimination of the so-called taxi cab tax, which levied five per cent on gross receipts of persons operating three or more automobiles for hire, other than sightseeing machines.
 A provision making the tax on soda fountain and soft drink re- tailers effective November 1, next This tax is two cents on each ten cents of sales of soda water, ice cream, etc.
 A provision changing the tax on toilet soap and powder from one cent on retailers sales of ten cents or fractions, to ten per cent levy on

NJ MATERIAL FOR MAKING
 CHARCOAL FOR GAS MASKS

Only the best gas masks will save our boys from painful death. These masks cannot be made without good charcoal Wood charcoal has proved deficient The necessary charcoal can be made from the pits of peaches, prunes, plums, olives, etc., and shells of hickory, brazil, walnut and other nuts.
 The army makes strong appeal to all agencies cooperating in the prose cution of the war in connection with this need Sufficient quantities of these are wasted daily to supply a large part of the charcoal require ments, only a fraction of which is now available from all possible sources It is simply a question of bringing the matter to the attention of the people and arranging for the collection of this material.
 The Red Cross organization has assumed the task of collecting and shipping this material to the proper destination.

 BIG EXCITEMENT
Private Report Yesterday Said
 27 1-2 Cents Had Been Decid- ed-AssOciated Industries of Texas Wants Price of B Cts.

Rumors of price fixing have been playing havoc with the cotton market for some time, and renewed excite ment among the cotton men was oc- casioned yesterday by private re- port that a price of ? 1-2 cents had been decided upon. There was no. later confirmation of this, however.
 A rally in the New York market was promoted by denials that any prices had yet been settled upon in case price fixing was undertaken.
 The price-fxing issue was again the strongest influence in the New Or leans market and reports from Wash ington that the fight against govern ment control had been lost depressed avlues throughout the session except for a short period in the early trading. when there was covering by shorts.

BAD FIRE AT EARLE

Earle. June 28.-Earle is
again the victim of another dis
astroas fire. Last night about
l o'clock the fire alarm was
given. Fer some time it seem
ed that the entire business part
Of the town was destined to go
up in flames, but by skillful
management of the fire de-
partment, they soon had the
fire under control. 1t is thought
that the fire originated from
papers being burned at the
rear of the pool hall late in the
afternoon.
Clark's barber shop, soda
fountain, pool hall and the
Crittenden County Drug Store
lately purchased by Shoals &
Co. were entirely destroyed.

Z. v EElTBOBY CAN HELP

The plan Of the government
to raise revenue through the
sale of war savings stamps is
one of the most commendable
plans yet instituted. The sale
of liberty bonds was and is
necessarily circumscribed be
cause these bonds could not be
issued in small denominations
sufficient to include the small
savings of the millions who
handle only small means. With
the savings stamps, however,
all can have a hand in finan-
cling their government. Millions
who felt themselves unable to
spare the amount of a bond
can contribute through this
channel. And the fact that
every penny invested in these
stamps is SO much saved and
invested at a profit, should in
spire in the American people a
spirit Of Thrift and saving that
has heretofore been totally for
eign to cur nature. The res
ponse should be universal.
