 The condition placed up to the stock men at this time is that the destructon of vats must be stopped and the regular dipping of cattle re- Isumed throughout the disorganized areas or the entire county win be

FOOD FOR ARKANSAS
500 Carloads Will Be Distributed
 Out of St. Louis.

St. Louis, Aug 12.-Forty-sever carloads of government foodstuffs to
 be sold at cost arrived at the arsenal
 here today, and it is estimated that 500 more would be received shortly for distribution in Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas. The sale will start Monday and individual purchases can be made drought the Postoffice department. v
 None of the food offered for sale at cost by the government will be bought by the City of Little Rock, according to Mayor Brickhouse. The mayor said that. soon after the gov ernment announced it's selling plan, that the goods must be paid for in chasing quantity, but that he found that the goods must be paid for in advance, and that since the city has not the money in the treasury, it was deemed advisable not to make the purchase. The mayor said also that all goods are shipped at the purchasers risk, and that some of it may be spoiled when it reaches it's destination. This is another reason why the mayor refused to make the purchase he said.
