HELENA, Ark, October 3.-Federa1
troops from Camp Pike and local
possemen and state officers on riot
duty at Elaine, a small town near
here, where race disturbances have
occurred intermittently since Thurs
day, resulting in sixteen known
deaths, early today prepared to re-
sumo a search for arms and ammu-
milton secreted by negroes in that
locality.
The race trouble, late reports in
dicated, was fomented by agitators
who had aroused the negroes ito par
ticipate in an organized uprising.
and the authorities were determined
to prevent further trouble by OBJ
tanning possession of all firearms In
the hands Of negroes in the district.
Search for Hidden Arms.
To accomplish their purpose they
sent parties of men through the
negro quarters searching houses and
outbuildings where gun caches were
suspected. -,
tary headquarters in Elaine said
that about 150 rifles had been taken
from negroes who had been arrest
ed or at the homes of negroes
searched by troops.
Wholesale arrests of negroes have
been made, according. to officials,
who announced today that 285 pris-
oners had been taken up to date. OF
that number 225 were under guard
by federal troops at Elaine, and 10
had been brought here.
Dead Number Sixteen.
The known white dead in connec-
tfon with the fighting remained at
five, including pne soldier. Corp.
Luther Earles, whose father lives
in Stotesbury, w. Va. Five white
men have been wounded. Eleven ne
groes are known to have been kill
ed, and officials said that number
probably would be increased when
outlying spots where skirmishes
took place have been searched.
The feeling prevailed among ofii-
Gals here today that the worst OF
the trouble was over.

Somewhere Lucia Willard had read
story where a poor and humble girl
/ had patiently endured all the suffer-
/ inSs and deprvatlOns of poverty, to
emerge into a higher condition and
| finally become the bride of a man Of
wealth and position who, in reverence
tor her gentle ways and pure, inno-
! cent mind, adored her through all Of
| a happy contented life. 1t was a rare
romance of the old school and she had
reveled in its sweet wholesome de-
velOpment.
"Only dream !" she sighed resign
edly. "What can come to Winston
tdats to me like the story book tells?"
Not but what Lucia deserved all that
a reward for truth sacrifice and un-
complaining hard work could give an
orphan, her only living relative, her
grandmother. The two of them worked
at the cheapest grade of sewing gain
Ing mere subsistence. Their living
quarters were mean and lowly, but
kept exquisitely neat and clean. 1t
was often invaded by those less par
ticular as to rags and dirt, little chill
dren of the neighbOrhOOd. A strong
maternal instinct in Lucia attracted
her towards them, and the only break
In the monotony of her dull existence
was when she gathered in the little
0utcasts, washed them clean, combed
out their tangled hair, mended up their
tattered clothing and gave them a lit
tie treat in the way Of popcorn or
candy
IF l only got to what the heroine
in the novel reached" Lucia told her
grandmother, II would just fill my
home with these poor little dear chfl-
dren."
Grandma often scolded at the i'm
petuous philanthrophy of Lucia, yet
secretly her heart was touched at the
kindly motives of her last living rela-
tive. One day, however she felt that
Lucia had exceeded the limits Of toll
erance and charity. She had burst In
upon her bearing in her arms a tat
tered, half-dressed baby girl covered |
with mud and CRIME grooming out pity |
and love and tenderness for the tiny
outcast. Lucia hugged it close and the |
child nestled in her arms as though |
1t realized a rare kindness and care.
"Just think of it," scolded Lucia
left alone in the back lot to wander
into all kinds of trouble. The poor
tiny mitel Sie, lay fiat in the mlre
where she had fallen. Oh, grandma
look look at the sweet darling
facet"
For Lucia had run to the sink and,
washcloth in hand, had cleared the
face Of the child.
"What are you going to do with her.
Lucia" questioned grandma.
Il am going to keep her, I am GO
ing to adopt her. replied Lucia with
settled resolution and defiance. "Do
you know who she is? One of the
half-starved babies that Mrs. Woods
took care Of. Actually when she went
away she left this one on the door
step Of a neighbor, who has hardly
enough to feed her own little ones and
10 time to care for this stranger. She
said she would have to send her to
some orphan asylum. Oh, grandma!

the story Of n sister who had eloped

THE MERCHANTS AND HIGH
PRICES.

Tn statement published Sat
urday County Attorney Cayaness
gives the impression that the
merchants are chiefly responsible
for the high cost Of living charg-
ing that the meat dealers are the
"profiteers par excellence, " with
your druggist, your grocer and
your dry goods merchant prof
iteering in the same manner "
That there are some retailers
in Chickasha and elsewhere who
have profitcered, we have no
doubt but we do not believe that
retail prices as a whole are high
er in Chickasha than they are
g elsewhere and we do not believe
that the retailers profit anywhere
is the chief factor in the high cost
Of living. In view Of the in
creased cost Of carrying on
business, including higher rents
wages and many other clements,
not overlooking the high cost Of
his own living, the merchant
should make larger profits than
he did in the past just as the
Workingman must receive higher
wages if he is to live, but to find
the cause Of high prices generally
we must go further back along
the line.
One factor, which is recognized !
by all competent authorities but
which is generally overlooked by |
the public, is the vastly expanded
volume Of credit and the increase |
in amount of circulating medium.
All economists know that the in |
creased volume of money and ex-
panded credit mean cheaper
money which will not buy as
much and hence higher prices.
But, passing over this fact, which
however, is very important, we
believe that primary responsf-
bility for high prices must be
traced back to the manufacturer
and here there has been and is
profiteering which is wholly un-
justified In some lines, the job
ber is also great offender.
For instance, in our OWE line,
the newspaper business, we know
that we must pay more than
twice as much for print paper
than we did before the war. This
is true whether we buy our paper
direct from the manufacturer or
from the jobber. Now we admit
that wages of paper mill workers
have gone up and that all other
costs of the manufacturer have
increased but, taking all this into
consideration, we are convinced
that there is still no justification
for the present price Of paper;
in other words, the manufacturers
have taken advantage Of the OPP
portunity to profiteer, increasing
their prices out Of all proportion
to their own augmented costs of
doing business. We believe the
same thing is true in other lines
and herein is to be found the
main cause of high prices, if the
inevitable increase due to. large
volume of credit and money be
left out of the account. To check
the entire thing up to the retailer
is manifestly grossly unjust.
The local Retail Merchants
association has answered Mr..
Cavaness by inviting the fullest
investigation and the county at
torney owes it to the public to ac-
cept this invitation. While Mr..
Cavaness does not directly charge

the public, he leaves the impress
