LAWMAKERS Want
TO SAVE BIRDS
DOGS KILLING BIRDS WHICH DE-
STRY BOIL WEEvIL SHOULD
BE KEPT CONFINED.

Every farmer who knows enough
to make even half a crop knows that
insect destroying birds are the farm
er's best friend ana that they add
dollars to his pocket. In fact if 1t
were not for the misunderstanding
birds, which devour the hundreds Of
kinds of insects which multiply their
own kind by the million in the space
of days, there would be no vegeta-
ton of any kind to bring forth fruit.
Mr. d. ?. Slaughter, we'll known
planter of Scott. in speaking of the
great changes that are coming to the
farmer in Arkansas and in outlining
the work yet to be done and the OBJ
staeles to be overcome, gets around,
as do all men study the ituatfon TO
the dog question. He says:
81 do not believe it possible for
the farmers of Arkansas to make a
proper showing unless they can get
some legislation to curb the dog in
dustry of our state. am sure the
masses of our people do not realize
the losses sustained as a result of
the depredations of worthless as we'll
as valuable dogs. There are sections
of Arkansas that would be a yerita-
BILE paradise for sheep ana goats
were it not for dogs. While our I'M
mediate community is not adapted
for sheep and goats, still we sustain
great loss from dogs which roam
over our plantations, destroying our
birds during the breeding ana mat
ing season. Now with the plague of
the boil weevil threatening us think
it q good time for everybody to get
together and appeal to the present
legislature to pass raw compelling
all dogs to be confined during the
breeding and nesting seasons of all
birds known to be enemies Of the
boil weeviI. Should we get such a
law | believe that with a large num-
Der OF birds during the coming sea-
son to aid us in fighting the weevil
pest that our increase in crop yields
will more than repay the owners Of
the dog industry.
A number of bills seeking to do
away with the dog menace have been
introduced in the present legislature
and dog owners throughout the state
as well had as well be getting tax
money together or drawing straws to
see which of nine dogs will be the
survivor after the new law goes In
to effect.

Boys. Other phrases will strike the
fancy of the individual mouse, whole

will boost the movement in this eff
fective way.
During the last Liberty Loan cam
paign, it will be recalled, the slogan
Yours for the Fourth Liberty Loan"
was used all over the country with
great success. The enthusiasm Of the

promises a wide mail publicity for the
Dress Up slogan in promoting this
moement of personal uplift and epti-

TEST COTTON SEED FOR
HERMIrJATI0N

Maximum profits cannot be made
with poor stands. Cotton seed low in
termination power is certain to pro-
duce poor stands and many weak
plants. Cotton seed should be tested.
Remember, preparation, fertilization,
planting and cultivation costs as
much for the poor stand as for the
good stand. Write to the Extension

SIDNEY Y. WEST
NAMED TREASURER
LITTLE ROCK MAN CHOSEN TO
HAVE CHARGE OF FUNDS OF
WORLDS COTTON CON-
FERENCE.

A signal honor was conferred on
S. Z. West, of Crump, Britton &
West, at the preliminary conference
held in Washington to make arrange
ments for the worlds international
cotton conferences to be held next
October 1916 at New Orleans, MI
West having been elected trustee of
the Worlds International Cotton Con-
ference He was also elected one OF
II delegates 20 the conrerenc and 4
mmber of the executive committee.
At this conference problems affect
ing the cotton industry of all cotton
producing and manufacturing coun-
tries will be discussed, and in view
of the complex situation growing out
of the war and the reconstruction PEE
Rod the conference will be of great
Importance to the cotton industry.
Mr.. West was sent to the prelimf
nary conference as the representative
of Governor Brough, also of Little
Rock Cotton Exchange and of the Ar
kansas cotton shippers.
While in Washington Mr.. West was
instructed by the Little Rock Cotton
Exchange to see what could be done
in regard to getting the through ex-
port bill OF lading retnstated- A tele-
gram was received from Mr. West
Monday morning stating that in the
near future he believed that the
through export bill of lading would be
Int
for British vessels it would be difficult
to- obtain before March or April.
Mr.. West also announced that a.
ruling was alread out that will get
the fve-point refund on cotton ship
ments since November /.
This refund will mean over $4,000
to Arkansas cotton shippers. 1t will
be remembered that at the conference
of cotton shippers at Memphis last
June, with representatives of the rail
road administration, a concentration
fee of 10 cents per bale was agreed
upon Shippers made their plans ac-
cordingly, but when the new sched-
ules went into effect the new rate had
not been printed in the schedules,
and the old rate of Is cents had to
be paid. a difference of five cents per
bale TO all cotton shipped. The new
schedule should have been effective
September l, and refund from Novem-
Der 1 will not give complete relief TO
the shippers, but it is hoped that the
refund for the previous month will
be obtained later.
The conference will De held at New
Orleans October 1916. The worlds
cotton conference, which will include
all branches OF the industry from the
cotton grower to the wholesale and
retailer of cloth, will be held in New
Orleans, October 1916. This decision
was reached at meeting of the Gen
eral Committee Oh Arrangements
held in the Willard Hotel.
The committee elected the follow
ing as officers of the committee on
organization: James R. McColl, Paw

tee also authorized the chairman to

was in California at night and
without money and no place to stop.
Finally / went into the hotel where
my baggage was and the proprietor
was real nice to me. II was a mis-
take on his part. He had mistaken
me for a man he hac sold a lot of
poultry to and wanted to collect for
same. 1t was a fortunate mistake for
me and ended my nard luck The
hotel man would not believe I was
not the man he had sold the poultry
to SO I looked in my pocket for some
thing to convince HIM and found a
laundry bill, from one of the Little
Rock hotel, dated May 31st, which
satisfied him | could not be the man.
as had only had time to get there
since that date.
The next day I went to an avia-
ton field to witness the flying.
was in the grand stand when l saw
a beautiful girl approaching in a newt
kind of flying machine. She appear
ed to be just floating Gown to us and
was attired in a charming and becom-
ing, as we'll as most expensive ap-
parel It appeared to be merely COST
ly dress goods of raresI quality,
which were simply and tastefully
draped about her beautiful form. Her
machine appeared like a bag or in
verted basket also draped in costly
raiment with a small propeller in
front of her. l observed that there
was something wrong with her ma
chine. She gave me look which
recognized as an appea: for assist
ance and started toward her, but an
older woman sitting next me said for
me not to go. AS l reached her girl
from Arkansas came out of the crowd
to assist me. The av1atrix had the
girl and I to lift the machine by
means of hand spike on our should
ers, then she showed me how to start
the propeller for her with my Olsen
gagged hand, when she sailed away
into the air.
When she was gone the Arkansas
girl took me into the aviatrix's house
and invited me to partake of refresh
ments. | found the room full of all
kinds of cakes and other sweet things,
but noeiced nothing else to eat. The
room was also swarming with flies.
The girl from Arkansas gave me to
understand that the aviatrix was ex-
pecting me to remain until she re-
turned and that / had a permanent
position with her.
Interpretation.
The date May 31st shows that the
hard times beginning with the end OF
the war lasted until then and few
days longer and will end in the early
part of June.
The scene changing to California
indicates that our winter is over. Ii
we have any more hog killing weather
this winter, people who have not kill
ed, will be fortunate.
The landlord wanting to collect for
poultry shows what a great industry
poultry raising has become, but indl-
Gates that it will begin to decline by
June LIST.
My attending the aviation field IN
dicates that the depression caused by
the ending of the war will be ended

VERPOOI

LIVERPOOL. June lathe CON
t~ollei of coal mines has just issued
further directions with regard to the
sale of coal. Minimum prices have
been substituted for fixed prices in the
case of shipments to British posses
sions and protectorates. France. Italy,
Belgium and Portugal. including coal
ing stations therein. In view of this
alteration the provision for exporters
services has been revised. In view
of uncertainties that frequently occur
at the present time with regard to the
insurance Of cargoes it has been de-
cided that the exporter shall insure
for account of the buyer in the cases
of all cargoes in respect of which it
has not been otherwise arranged be-
tween the parties. A few adjustments
have been made in the schedules of
prices to bring certain classes of coal
into more correct relationship with
one another.
The full meaning of the foregoing
alterations is that the limitation
prices to the Allies have been abol-
ished and from now onward open
market prices will obtain. The prices
for coal are now ruling above the
schedule minimum.
Confused Conditions Exist
On the whole chaotic conditions
rule in the coal trade. Britain cannot
adequately supply the demands of her
allies and is fast hurrying to coal
famine again. The present state of
affairs is due primarily to the reduced
output and the reduction of output
is PROFESSIONALLY due to the increased
wage rates of coliery workmen, for
1t has always been a striking fact that
when the wages of GOLFERS are high
the output per man decreases to an
extent almost proportionate TO the
rise in wages. In 1915 the output Of
coal per person in Britain was 265
tons-a time when the most able col
licrs were in the army Since then
the output per man declined to 257
tons in 1916, 243 tons in 1917, and to
226 tons in 1918, while the output per
man tor the first quarter of this year
has actually got down 70 2O3 tons On
this basis the first quarters output
this year will be $4,000. 900 tons be-
low that of 1918. Yet, under the San
key recommendations in July next the
working hours vii be reduced I,
seven per day, so that further de-
cline in production and per capita will
be still further accelerated. A con-
sequent production of output entails
proportonate increase of cost which
makes even the most phlegmatc per
son wonder whittier Great Britain is
drifting.
Mutual Adjustment Made
In the bunker market things have
been mutually adjusted so as to in
volve no particular hardship to British
boats, and this spirit Of mutual agree
mcnt is n good augury for the future
of the trade. British shippers can OBJ
tain bunker coal at much lower fig
ure than neutral shippers, and although
the quotations on bunkers are at Cos to
CTS Cd, British buyers are obtaining
supplies at Sos without undue trouble.
The small available supplies for juno
are quickly taken up by neutrals at the
full quoted rates.
