Much Oklahoma Cotton.

Isaac Workman, C. W. Whisenhunt, S. J. Harden and J. N Bronson of Big Cedar, Ok, were on the m rket Tues day with cotton, the three first named bringing in two bales each, and the latter one bale. They had not learned about the tie-up of the Mena market thru injunction proceedings until they reached the city, so in the end, rather than take their cotton to another mar ket, they decided to store in the Mena Bonded Warehouse. MT. Workman, who seemed to be the spokesman of the party, asserted, however, that the tangle which now existed on the Mena cotton market would likely result in most of the cotton from the Big Cedar valley going to Talihina, notwith- standing the fact that ne and his neighbors had made Mena their trad ing point every since the city was or ganized.

On Monday not bale was bought by the local buyers, but on Tuesday up to 3 o'clock c. w. Petty had bought l9 bales and R. L. Norris 13.
 The price ranged from S2 to 34 cents, the top going to J. A. Heron of Egger, and being paid by c. w. Petty. Among the farmers on the mar ket Tuesday were A. L. Price, Pat.

Went to Hatfield With Cotton.

Marion Philpot of Egger headed a delegation of farmers that went to Hatfield last Saturday with cotton, af- ter reaching Mena for the reason they were unable to secure satisfactory price on. the local market. In the party aside from Mir. Philpot, who had three bales, were w. F Mourton and A. K. Wilhite with three bales each, Louis Shirley of Waters with 2 bales and Hamp Lunsford with one bale
 They. report that the entire lot was sold at Hatfield at 325 cents a pound, while the best offer secured in Mena, they say, was 30.5. In this connec- tion it should he said that the difficult ty in Mena Saturday was the inabil- ity on the part of the buyers to get market reports on account of wire troubles, and added to that the buyers reported the market very unstable.

COTTON BUYING
 STOPPED ONE DAY
Albert Robertson, Official Weigher, Enjoins the Mena Warehouse and C. E. Lyons From Weighing Cot
 ton and Other Products.

l The unstable condition of the local cotton market existing last Saturday because of the inability of the buyers to get market reports until late iii the day by reason of wire trouble, was in l tensified Monday when the Mena ], Warehouse Company and c. B. Lyons were enjoined from weighing cotton, 1 the restraining order being issued by Judge II. ". Finger of the County court As result of the injunction, no cotton was bought on the Mena Market on Monday The action was in- stituted by Albert Robertson, county weigher, thru his attorneys, McPhet- rige < Martin, and was brought in the county court because of the ab- sence of the Circuit judge and the Chancellor. In the summons served upon the defendants, they are given 20 days to answer, but it may be that hearing will be secured before that time by the attorney for the defend ants.
 The restraining order was dated and granted last Saturday, but was not served until Monday morning. The order is as follows.

 This is another step in the fight that has been going on in and out of court in Mena for two seasons. The contention of the buyers is that Rob- ertson's weighing is inaccurate and that he is discourteous to buyers and their customers.

BRED GREAT MEN
Italian City of Florence May
Claim High Honor.
Birthplace of Many of Those Who
Rank, in intellectual Ability and
Achievement, Far Above the
Rest of Mankind.

At first thought one would be apt
to claim for London. the great metrop-
oils, the honor of having given birth
to the greatest number of the worlds
geniuses.
Among other great LonG0;ers the
following might be cited Francis Ba-
con, philosopher and essayist; Spen-
ser, Jonson, Milton and Keats, world
known and honored poets; Hogarth,
Turner, Watts, Millais and Holman
Hunt, artists whose achievements are
acclaimed by all the world of taste;
who have influenced the building of
empire; Daniel Defoe, the novelist;
Faraday and Huxley, the scientists,
and many others. All these would
stand in the very front ranks of great
ness, some Of them, like Milton and
Bacon, towering above their fellow
men like mountain peaks among mole
hills.
The Frenchman would Undoubtedly
stand up for the claims of Paris. quot
ing long list of poets and painters
and novelists and statesmen to justify
his boast.
The italian would probably put the
question: "How far back may we go
in this quest? For if ancient Rome is
to be added to the record of the more
modern city. where will you find her
equal?"
Then Athens would lift up her clas-
sic voice in protest, and quote l)ng
list of her sons who have formed the
models of all subsequent time in art
and poetry and philosophy and archi-
lecture.
But there is another competitor
which can beat them all in this COM
bat. Compared with London or Paris.
or even Rome, it is a small place.
The city is Firenze--Florcaoe-the
native city of Savonarola, of Fra An
gelco, of Donatello, of Botticelll, of
Leonardo da Vinci, Of the mighty Mi
chael Angelo, the glory of his age and
of all succeeding ages; Florence. the
city of Boccaccio, the father of novel
lists; of Machiavelli, whose very name
is proverb, and of the famous Me
dici; yes, and lastly, Florence the city
Of Dante, the first both in time and
position of this glorious galaxy of
stars of the first magnitude.
How such small place ever gave
birth to so many mighty sons of
genius is one of the standing puzzles
of heredity and environment and edu-
cation. Why does not Glasgow breed
geniuses? Nobody knows. During a
period Of two hundred years Florence
was a forcing bed for supreme achieve
ment. During that time the little city
broke all records, ancient and mod
ern, and it is hard to see where her
competitor is to spring from who shall
take away her crown of laurels.

Some War Economies.

There is probably nothing that
seems so useless in the eyes of the
average person as an Irish potato
which has begun to rot. but the de-
partment of agriculture in its wartime
experiments has discovered that starch
can be made from a decayed potato
just as well, if not better, than from
good one, and SO the surplus stock
of the farmer or dealer need no longer
be thrown away or wasted.
In like fashion chemists seeking
methods to avoid worldwide food
shortages have found that sugar can
not only be made from beets. but
from sweet potatoes as we'll. The
farmer himself can make good strip
from his sweet potatoes by boiling
them until they can be mashed in the
water to thick, mushy liquid. To this
ground malt is added and the result,
after properly cooking for about an
hour is thick strip, which is strained
through a cloth and used for any sort
of sWeetening.

Lost Diamond Mina2

A fabulous fortune awaits the man
who discovers the lost diamond mine
of Arkansas.
There are indisputable indications
that such mine exists, according to
a statement by Capt. Frederick G.
Packer, an English diamond mining ex.
pert who has twice come to this coun.
try from Kimberly, South Africa, in
search of the lost mine.
Due to the popularity Of the natural
process by which diamonds were
formed in the dim ages of the past.
Captain Packer said. the indications
of a diamond field may be found a
long distance from the field. These
indications have been found in a GER
tain section of Arkansas, but the mine
has not been discovered. 1t may be
near the Oklahoma line, he asserts.

Eire-Retardinu Paints.

From tests made at the federal blu.
reau of standards it appears that
while practically all paint coatings
have some fire-retarding action, none
of those so far tested afford very great
protection. All the samples III question
were materially damaged by applica-
ton of flame for a few seconds. Both
sodium silicate and whitewash rank
comparatively high. These have the
advantage Of cheapness and can both
be used on the same surface. However,
according to a recent bulletin of the bu-
reau, no treatment of wood after cree
ton can be expected to serve as an eff
fective fire protection, and the use of
such materials should not be made an
excuse for emitting any of the usual
precautions against fire.
