THE STEAM LAUNDRY

Every man, woman and child in Monticello who has the least bit of public spirit believes that OUT town should have a steam laundry. We have had one for many years and it would be a step backward to let it go down. For some reason the laundry business has not proven very lucrative. Several persons have tried it with varing degrees of success. The present manager, Mr. Jess Ridgeway, has had charge for several months. He has added a number of new machines and has done and is doing a world of work.
 4 short time ago the price of laundering collars was advanced from three cents to four. This is the same price that is charg- ed in nearly all the smaller towns and some cities are as nigh as seven cents, yet a howl went up from many people that the lue e.ndry man was running a hoid-up. On one occasion a party calleG at the laundry for his collars and to his horror found that the price had gone up to four cents. He accused the qaEndry of robbing him etc. The manager requested his victim to go with him and watch the collar in it's process from the basQuet to delivery. After seeing the various opera tiDns the customer apoi9gized for his remarks and said that he would not so through all of that work for i5 cents a collar.
 This is, of course, nothing to the writer more than as a citizen of the town he is anxious 10 see a worthy industry survive. il is strange that the merchant who gets $10. for 6 shoe that formally sold for S5, or 50 cent q pound for meat that did sell for 25 cents, or S125 for a bale of cotton that used to bring $50 should object to paying ] cent more for his collars.

COTTON MARKET
 CONDITIONS.
Chamber Of Commerce May Eaild Ware House For Bene. fit Of Cotton Market.

The Arkansas & Louisiana Midland Company announces to cotton buyers and the local mer- chants of Monticello that they publish rates on the shipment of cotton from Monticello to Interstate points which permit the concentration and compres- sion of the cotton in transit at either ElDorado or Little Rock.
 There has been some discuss ion about Monticello having no optional cotton concentration point heretofore and this infor- Ination is given for the benefit of those interested in the matter of securing an optional con centration point.
 It is to be hoped that this Tact now secured Will make Monticello an open cotton mark ct and result in the farmer securing the very best prices possible for his cotton in Mon ticello.
 The Commissioner of Agri- culture of the State is taking up with the Chamber of Commerce the proposition of building a bonded ware house in Monticello which would be a further step Of great benefit to the shipping public of Drew county.
 It seems that Monticello is coming into her own in an in- dustrial way.

 HERO RETURNS.
Street Rash Returns From Overseas With Sword Of Ger man Captain.

Among the many world war veteran to return to Drew eoun- ty from the bloody fields of France, perhaps none saw more real service than did Street Rash, son of MT. Lloyd Rash, a well-known farmer living near Cominto. In fact young Mr. Rash is the Sergeant York of Drew county.
 On account of certain minor troubles he was thrice rejected by recruiting officers at Little Rock. Not being of the dispo. sition that is easily daunted he presisted until he was received into the regular army. Not having been able to interview the young man we are unable to state his regiment of infantry or the division in which he serv- ed.
 We have on good authority that he killed and captured sev- eral Germans, among whom was a Hun Captain. The Captains sword, MT. Rash brought back as relic. This sword is on dis play in the window of the Com mercial Loan and Trust Com pany.

WHY PEANUTS SHOULD

The importance of peanuts as farm crop in Arkansas is recognized by the agricultural authorities and the University Extension urges an increased acreage of this crop for the fol lowing reasons:
