Arkansas last Year,

Arkansas Last Year.
Knoxville, May 1G.-S. F. Prouty. of
Des Moines, a resident of Marion
county during all of his childhood and
young manhood days, is said to now be
more extensively engaged in rice
growing than any other man in the
world
Mr.. Prouty is the man who first
demonstrated that rice can be grown
profitably in Arkansas. Eight or ten
years ago ne bought large tract OF
virgin prairie, lying as level as floor.
He discovered that bored wells sup
piled with powerful pumps, would at
ford suitable supply of water for
growing the rice crop and his eXIer-
ment proved such tremendous sue
cess that others invested in cheap
lands and that is now a great rice
growing country and of course the
price Of land has advanced Judge
Prouty. two years ago, cleared over
$4,000 from his crop of rice which
sold for about 81 per Dusnel. His crop
last season, under government price
fixing. brought around 50 per bushel
and ne raised $4,000 bushels.

SITUATION STILL CRITICAL
End of Strike Does Not Mean Immed'
late End of Shortage.

Indications are that the coal SIT
uation through the country will not
be normal for at least a month, accord
ing to E. R. Locke who has just re-
turned from St. Louis where he con-
ferred about the matter. For that
reason it will be necessary for the o n
scrvation methods put into effect dur
ing the strike to continue until the
miners have been at work long enough
to get a surplus of coal OF hand.
The Mexico Power Company's supply
of coal got very low Friday, but two
cars from the east and two from the
west we're scheduled to arrive before
A o'clock and thus save shutting off
power.

JAKE REEDS MOTHER HERE.
Asks About Outcome of Match as Soon
AS She Arrives.

"Who won the wrestling match the
other night?" was the question asked
in an anxious tone by a woman who
came into the Hoxsey Hotel Friday
night. When told hat Reed had again
been victorious she sighed with relief
and seemed much gratified. The per-
son who had answered her question re-
marked that she seemed to be quite
interested in the matter,a nd the ques-
toner replied that she ought to be,
since she is the mother Of Jake Reed.
Mrs. J. F. Reed was on her way to
her home in Fulton, after having spent
two months with her daughters in Elk
%celsior Springs, and she had not heard
from her son since the match in Mex
leo Wednesday night. Although she is
Intensely interested in the matter of
Jake's career as a wrestler, she has
never yet seen him in a match, she
said, giving as her reason the fact
that she is always afraid he might be
hurt and if he is she doesn't want to
be there to see it. She expects, how
ever to get over this feeling sometime
and command courage enough to see
him meet an opponent.
Mrs. Reed related, with smiling
c~ountenance, the fact that her son,
Jake, whom she calls Edison, has been
wrestling since two years ago last
October and has yet to be thrown.
Her youngest son, Freddie, who is now
81, is also a coming wrestler and ex-
poets to met an opponent soon. She
has two other sons, older than these
two, but they have never followed this
line of business. Mrs. Reed also has
two daughters. She vas anxious to
get home to her children, she said; for
Edison had written her that he was
starved for some of her cooking.

Jensen & Christensen will sell 81
head of pedigreed Hereford cattle
at the Northwestern stock yards in

Fuller description of the sale will

This Office printed lot Of bills for
these gentlemen announcing the
sale, but in some manner or other
the announcement that this stock
was pedigreed was omitted. We,
are told that this offering is among,
the very best and those who reside,
in this part of the country and der
sire pedigreed Herefords will do
well to attend Saturdays sale. Ev-
eryone in this county knows Jens'
Jensen knows a good pedigreed
Hereford when he sees 1t. He has

and his judgment is relied upon by
good many of the best breeders

ROSES FROM LUXEMBOURG

Fred Morrison, one of the proprie-
tors Of the Virginian Cafe has on
display this week two beautiful
roses. He was in the army and for
several months was in camp in Lux
emburg. While there he secured a
variety of rose bushes and sent
some of them to his wife. who was
staying at Stuart while he was in
the service. She planted the small
bushes and this week while their
daughter was at Stuart the rose
bushes were in bloom so she brought
some of them to Audubon. Mrs.
Morrison says that the bushes have
been in bloom every month since the
fore part of May They are a very
hardy variety and adapted to, this
climate. The roses are very beau
tiful and considerably different from
anything ever seen here. $3.50
Mr.. Morrison is glad he sent the
roses home for he will have some
thing to recall his experiences every
time he sees the roses. He has had
great deal of army life. He, serv-
ed in the Spanish-American war and
in the World War reached cap
taincy.

COUNTY WILL GO OVER
TOP IN BIG DRIVE

Audubon county will In all prob
ability go over the top in the Saliva
ton Army home service campaign
which was concluded the 30th of
September. Up to the present
time $1,000 has been reported to
the treasurer, e. F. Bilharz. Not
all of the school districts have re-
ported and but very little has been
reported from Extra township where
the drive was not concluded until
yesterday.
Audubon county's quota was ST.
900 and If Extra township meets her
quota of 5000 the county will go
over the top in nice shape. There
are a few school districts in some of
the townships that have not yet re-
ported and the township chairmen
state that the report will be made
complete by the last of this week.
Owing to the inclement weather
and the drive coming at busy time
it was not possible to complete the
work in one day as had been plan
ned. II is now getting late and
time for all work to be completed.
Practically all of the solicitors re-
port that the people were very lib
eral and that it was the easiest fund
to raise they had ever attempted.
Wherever the solicitors did their
work the contributions have been
liberal and all of the townships will
no doubt meet their full quota.
Here in Leroy township which had
quota of $500 the amount was
literally oversubscribed
The Salvation Army helped the
boys at home and overseas and the
young men who we're in the service
are now determined to see that they
receive sufficient funds with which
to carry on their work. No doubt
the sentiment created by the boys
has helped materially in making
the folks at home feel disposed to
give of their means to this splendid
organization. We hope to be able
to give a full report from all of the
townships in the county in next
weeks issue of the Republican.

BODY FOUND IN
CLOVER FIELD
PROMINENT FARMER LIVED
WITH RELATIVES In LIN
coin TOWNSHIP

The body of Henry Clausen was
found in a clover field at his home
in Lincoln township, three and a
half miles southwest of Gray last
Monday. Mr.. Clausen lived with
his two brothers and one sister on a
farm near the Lincoln township
church. When he left home Monday
he was feeling as well as usual.
When he remained away longer than
usual and did not return home for
supper his sister and brothers be-
came alarmed and started a search
body in a clover field, where he
had gone to do some work. The
county officials were Immediately
notified and DIR. Newton called who
held coroner's inquest the same
evening. The Jury empanelled
was composed of John Barton,
John Kusel and Albert Polzine.
After making a thorough investi-
CATION and looking into all OF the
evidence in the case, the jury rem
dered a verdict that the deceased
had come to his death from natural
causes.
Mr.. Clausen suffered stroke of
paralysis about seven years ago but
had apparently recovered. 1t is
thought that he was stricken while
out in the field and died almost in
stantly.
He was an industrious worker and
man well liked, being about As
years Of age.
Funeral services will be held at
the home this afternoon at two
