rive" and we did so. This is a fine country in many respects. Just enough imber to break the monotony of the prairie.
 The principal crops are wheat oats and hay, some corn, but very little cotton in this section. We mean to try some strawber- ries next spring since we have plants promised if we will pay the express from Judsonia.
 While attending the best con- ference of our life We were at tracted by an elegant building which proved to be the High School building of the Capitol City, built of almost white mar ble. The mind of the writer was taken back just a few years when we saw some of this mar ble being loaded on fiat cars at Pheiffer, Ark, where if we re- member correctly, all that mar= ble in this building was quar- ried.
 We were interested in Jud- sonia's History, written by one of our own Sunday School boys, and especially the few prophetic lines, for we had hardly thought of F'elter as a prognosticator. We hope to hear soon of an a. bundance of oil in the Judsonia fields.
 We are always interested in the local happenings of the town even when an addition is made to the Post Office force.
 If this escapes the waste bas- ket we may drop in few lines at another time.

It is the duty of every man, woman and child to keep the people from picking cotton un- til it is dry. The loss in cotton this year is going to be large e. nough without causing an in- crease damage by picking cot ton while it is wet.
 Be patient and allow cotton to thoroughly dry out before you gather it from the boil and save money by so doing.

NOTICE TEACHERS

The program for our County Teachers Association will be built on one ofthe Reading Cir cle books, LaRue's '"The Science and Art of Teaching" This pro- gram will be announced in the near future, and we hope every teacher in the county will se- cure copy of this book and read it before the meeting at Judsonia, December 6.
 It is going to be required that every teacher certify to having read at least two of the reading circle books before licenses are extended after June, 1920. This is not an unreasonable request, and 1 feel sure that every pro- gressive teacher will only be glad to do this for his own growth and works sake.
 The above-named book can be had from the Arkansas School Service Co.,, Little Rock.

 County Supt. of Schools.

WARNING TO
 COTTON GROWERS

The cotton which has taken all of these hard rains and is in the fields must be allowed to remain there until there has three or four days of good sun- shine and wind on it to thorough lyly dry out the locks in the bolls. We have had so much rain until the seed are soaked with water and in a number of cases the seed has begun to decay.
 Don't make the dreadful mis- take of thinking you are so far behind with the gathering of your cotton that you must pick it out regardless of whether it is dry or not. You can not dry cotton by picking it and putting it in house. In the first place there>is not room to spread out the cotton to prevent heating and decaying. In the second place the sunshine can not get to it to dry out the surplus moisture and bleach the cotton. In the third place cotton that is picked and piled in a pen or on the wagon wet does not dry sufficiently before it is ginned. What is the result of picking and ginning cotton when it IS wet? The gin saws cut the fibre of the cotton and leaves it in a condition that is known in the cotton trade as happy cotton. When such cotton is packed in to a bale in short time it be- gins to heat and immediately decay sets up.
 Just the other day I saw one  of our cotton buyers of Scar cy cut into a bale that had been picked, ginned and packed wet and this cotton was rottening very fast. As result this bale was worth about Ii cents less than it would have been if the owner had picked the cotton af- ter it had dried out. Cotton is too aluable to risk picking 1t out wet and attempting to gin and bale it hile it is wet. The man who picks the cotton iii his field when it is wet and puts it in the bale is robbing himself of several centson the pound.

LITTLE UNEASINESS


 Paris, April 22.-The suggestion is wide ly circulated tonight in Paris that Great Britain and France cannot sign a peace treaty with Germany if Italy refuses be- cause under the London agreement no member of the entente is to sign sepa- rate peace. The suggestion, however, ap- parently has not had any great effect on the negotiations, as the delegates express ed the opinion that no single nation can afford to hinder peace conforming to the provisions of the armstice broadly and that rights under secret treaties Will be lightly regarded by the peoples who are clamoring for settlement of the world war.
 As the United States is not sigma tory of the London agreement not to make a separate peace, even the most serious break in the conference would not prevent her from making peace with Germany under a crisis which might arise as a result of European alliances. But the American delegates refuse to give serious considerati ton to such an eventu- ality
 The ambitions and riva1ries of various leaders are figuring largely in the pres ent deadlock
 Economic conditions are so bad ana food and coal are so scarce in the Eu- ropean countries today that majority of the peace delegates feel that no im- portant country will attempt to continue fighting under conditions of virtual iso- lation from the supply centers.

 Tt is contemplated to send further persons to accompany the delegates whose names and positions the German government will communicate as speedily as possible in a second telegram The German government is ready to send the persons indicated in the foregoing to Versailles. assurances being given that the delegates and those accompanying them during their stay there. shall be guaranteed freedom of movement as well as free use of the telegraph and tele- phone for communication with the Ger man government The German govern ment reserves the right subsequently, to appoint special experts for separte peace questions.

cans of the merchant vessels built and now being built by the government.
 MT. Story was the first witness before the congressional committee In 1913 that investigated and discovered the gigantic foreign conspiracy that throttled Ameri- can shipping and drove American vessels from the seas. It was largely through his efforts that the shipping bill, under which the building up or an American merchant marine was made possible.
 During the war Mir. Story was manager of the national service section of the United States shipping board, in charge of the south Atlantic and gulf states, and is now a member of the advisory board of the National Marine league and also of the New Orleans Association of Com merce. He is also vice president of a $50, 900 shipping corporation now form ing in Detroit for the purpose of pur- chasing vessels from the government and operating them.
 SHIPPING LAWS
 MT. Story exposition of the shipping laws, the seamen's act, and the methods by which foreign nations controlled the worlds shipping before the war was a revelation to the few hundred men who heard him last night He knows his sub ject thoroughly and discusses it in manner that is convincing and informa- tive.
 Of international commerce and ocean trade routes, he said, in part:
 As the world turns to peace, there are many problems that confront America. The weightiest and most important is the development of our ocean-carrying trade under our own flag. Unless we control the carrier, foreigners will in future, as they have in the past, suck the life blood out of our foreign trade. They will dic- tate the freight rates from every United States port, thereby favoring foreign by favorable tariffs.
 For 50 years we have been economic vassals on the sea. We paid in freight to foreign carriers in the last 50 years more than $25, 900, ,00o0 900. which, if paid to American shipping, would have re- mained in this country to add to our de- prosperity and happiness.
 Foreign shipping interests have for decades conducted a propaganda in this to produce condition of mind that would have us convinced we could not build ships or operate them in com petition with foreign nations.
 COMPETE ON SEA
 'This is false. A nation that can sell locomotives, steel rails, shoes, machinery and thousand thing all over the world in competition with foreigners can also compete with them on the sea for the added reason that every necessary law, and condition fa- vor the development of our oversea ship ping and commerce.
 We have millions of tons of shipping built for war emergency, which Uncle Sam is prepared to turn over to private capital to operate along practical trade routes The ships can be leased or pur- chased on most liberal terms.
 we have red-blooded Americans to nan the ships. Uncle Sam is training aa average of 5000 monthly in his nautical schools. we have cargoes in abundance from
