URGE FARMERS TO
SAVE SEED WHEAT

The yield OF wheat this year viii be
somewhat disappointing in many sec
tons Of the State. There is a wide
range in the quality Of the grain, and
many farmers viii be compelled 10
purchase their seed wheat this fall.
The demand for good seed will prob
ably be far I'm excess of the supply un-
less those growers who have grain of
high quality will hold a portion Of 10
for sale for seed purposes There Is
considerable wheat OF excellent quail
ity, as good as ls found any year These
stocks should be held Close lnvestl-
cation has shown that practically all
OF the fields Of smooth wheat are Of in
ferlor grade. Some OF the fields Of
bearded wheat will not yield as well as
usual, but they are far less damaged
by the unusual seasonal conditions than
the smooth. The Miracle or Stoner,
bearded variety, has come through the
season with a better yield than any
smooth sort under the same conditions.

Peter
Brings Home the Cows.
BY HE STORY LADY

Peter always went with his grand
father after the cows. The pasture
was quarter OF mile from the
house and a long lane with a fence on
either side led from the barn to pas
ture.
They always started when the six
o'clock whistle blew. Then grandpa
got the milking finished in time for
supper at seven.
One day Peter begged TO go after
the COWS all by himself and grandpa
promised. so when Peter heard the flve
o'clock whistle blow he started out
very Importantly.
He stopped at the first olump Of
dogwood and cut long slender switch
II took some time TO select one that
just suited him. Then when he got
started again a baby cottontail led
him chase through the oats at the
SIDE Of the lane.
When he finally got TO the gate the
COWS had gotten tired Of waiting and
had lain down. Peter had quite a
time getting them started. On the way
home he found a quail nest. He
stopped and counted them, then wan
dered on behind the COWS, who were
grazing as they went. Then he found
a grandfather hoptoad BY the time
Peter and the cows reached barn gate
grandpa was waiting with the milk
bucket and the seven o'clock whistle
was blowing.
Peter hung his head
Il guess | need the switch worse
than the cows did" he said.

And they sing down sorrow and care and strife

ATTACKS COMMISSION.

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-The city of
 Helena has undertaken to prove that the Arkansas corporation commission was illegally formed.
 Acting under the provisions of the
 act, the Helena Water company sur
 rendered its franchise, with view
 to applying to the commission for an
 indeterninate permit. The hearing of the petition for this permit was set for yesterday be- fore the commission. On Monday the city of Helena brought suit against the Helena Wa ter company and the Arkansas conn.,
 mission to restrain the granting of
 such permit, and attacking the legality of the act. By agreement, the petition was continued until Sept. Il, to allow time for the determination of the suit in chancery.
 It is alleged, as ground of illegal l ity, that the bill passed by the house, creating the commission, was not identical with that passed by the senate, in that one amendment was omitted, and in another the date upon which the change from the railroad to the convention was made was given as January 1, and in the lother April l.

CHILD LABOR LAW
 MISUNDERSTOOD

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-Tom A. Will son, commissioner of labor, has re- ceived letter from prominent mill man, as follows, relative to the en- forcement of the child labor law and the method of issuing permits:
 "As we understand the law, and we think we do, child under 16 years of age cannot. be worked around any machinery sbr belts and several other different machines, named in the law. We take it from your article that they would be pro hibited from doing this and other work. We had an accident in our mill last year with boy under 16 and we think now that we are pretty we'll posted. We think you should come out with another statement as some mill may think they can work children under 16 around machinery. The rule we are going by now is not to employ any child under Is and it is a good plan for every mill to fol- low and then they are covered by their liability insurance"
 Commissioner Wilson said the de- partment is very particular to give definite information when application for permits is made. If children are worked without permits employers are liable under the law to prosecu- tion and also no defense in case of accident.

NEWSPAPER MEN HIT PIPE.

Hitting the pipe may be terri ble vice in Chinatown but not among the newspaper men of South Bend, Ind. There it comes pretty. nearly being virture. For the newspaper men of that town have banded them selves together into the Pipe Smok- CTS Thrift club, each member of which is pledged not to smoke cigars until he has purchased $20 worth of war savings stamps.
 The plan was started by cub re- porter who really did not like ci- gars but the thrift argument with which he advocated his scheme were unanswerable and met with immedi- ate and enthusiastic response.
 Consequently when a South Bend of the Fourth Estate takes his typewriter in lap to write a "piece for the paper" his first move is to fill up the old "dudeen." Some of the most effective effusions of one society editor have been inspired by the gurgle of we'll seasoned corn cob.
 Even political and banquet cigars are under the ban.

The Graphic hasn't hesitated to criticise when it believed chiticism warranted. And it doesn't withhold credit when it believes credit due. At this time The Graphic considers as little less than remarkable that the proceedings and present administra- tions of the city have been able to ac- complish results achieved without in- curing greate rdebt. With smaller revenues, and with money cheaper than for half century just how people expect the city to keep depart ments going has never been explained by those who criticise the administra- tion for not doing this or that. The city must have more revenue!

Canadian Learns Why Cost of Food
 Continues High

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 6.-The cost of living commissioner, a lieutenant of the federal commission of labor, has completed his investigation of food conditions throughout the Dominion and in his final report has declared that Canadian stocks of food compare favorably with stocks of 1918 and 1917, but he takes the position that soaring prices are partly the result of tremendous exportations.
 This report was based upon the stocks of food products in cold stor- age on July 1. He estimated that the supply of pork and pork products in Canada on that date was sufficient to feed the dominion for five months but he pointed out that the average export trade is abol., 12,000,000 pounds a month Total pork stocks on July 1, were listed as 9,659, ,877 pounds.
 Reduction in tie beef stocks was reported, Frozen beef totalled 15,- 737,6 pounds and unfrozen fresh beef weighed 1,768,810 pounds The report also listed 6O4,173 pounds of cured beef and 397,972 pounds of beef in process of cure.
 In June there were 1O,365, ,116 pounds of creamery butter and 1,OOO,- 634 pounds of dairy butter in storage. Oleomargarine on hand totalled only 412,5S4 pounds. Cheese totalled g. 312,910 pounds In 1918 the dominion exported 152,00o,ooo pounds of chese. Eggs are being freely received, the report said, despite high prices. The investigation showed 12,263,5S6 doz- en in cold storage; 482,917 dozen out Iof storage and 533,7 pounds of froz- en eggs.
 Large quantities of mutton, lamb and fowl also were recorded.
 Great quantities of cold storage fish caused the government to warn commission men 'against over supply. More than twenty three million pounds of sea food, not including holsters, weer being held.

Sells Shoddy Goods;
 Never Comes Back

New York.-How long will it be before people learn to quit trading with fly-by nights? asks bulletin from the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World
 So many advertising clubs have found local people being film flammed" by peddlers and other itinerants, says the bulletin, that ac- tive campaigns have been started to educate people not to buy merchan- disc offered by various types of fly by-nights.
 "The best and safest plan," says the bulletin, with the possible excep- tion of vegetable vendors who are known to the housewife, is to buy from established sources of supply. The merchant who is known quan- tity in the community is safer to deal with, because he will be on hand to make good if the goods do not live up to expectations. It is seldom in- deed that the goods of a peddler are better for the money than those of fered in the usal way by established retailers, though they may seem cheaper on basis of what the ped dler claims for their quality. The fact remains that the peddler must buy in small quantities and cannot usually buy as advantageously as the regular merchant, even though some troupes of fake peddlers that have been driven out of advertising club communities have declared they were selling stocks that were salvaged from wrecked steamboats, or they have told other fairy tales that were so thin that the average housewife, it would seem, should see through them"
 The salvage from the wrecked
 steamer" so-and-so, the bulletin says is one of; the favorite tales of the fake peddler.

w. s. S..

The city of Pine Bluff is very much in the same situation as the railroad administration; it cannot advance the pay of it's employees without getting money somewhere to pay the in- crease. We haven't heard of any patriots volunteering to pay higher taxes, tho the revenues of the city are smaller today than decade ago, and the dollar will buy only about half as much as it did then. The city employees are entitled to more pay, and the council should give it to them. It is rediculous for a muni- cipality to expect men to serve as firemen for $60 to $7O month. Just as it is ridiculous folS school districts to ask instructors of children to teach for the meagre pay their re- csiye.

Little Rock Needs Money Coming From
 Privilege Tax

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-The defeat of the privilege tax in Fort Smith has not discouraged it's advocates in Little Rock. It is admitted that the city administration in Fort Smith was not very enthusiastic about it.
 But in Little Rock it is different. The administration is sponsor and one of the hardest fighters for it's passage.
 It is vital to the future prosperity of the city that an auxiliary source of revenue be found.
 Mayor Brickhouse has put up the proposition very plainly to the peo- pie, that unless the privilege tax ordinance is adopted or some other source of revenue provided, which no one has yet suggested, the city will soon be forced to resort to desperate retrenchment which will reduce us to the small-town class.
 One ordinance, taxing certain classes, has already been passed by the city council, and the opponents have secured petition alleged to contain 15 per cent. of the qualified electors requesting that it be re- ferred to the people.
 An investigation shows that it is several hundred names short, but that there might be no charges of unfairness, the council has consented to referendum in September. It is believed the people will ratify the ordinance, for they realize the l. city must have funds with which to meet it's obligations and keep up it's departments of public service. If it is defeated, the results will be more than serious for the welfare of the city-it will be calamitous.

 Sir Auckland said this central au- thority, according to the govern ment's plan would be assisted with local and county tribunals. New powers would be asked for in con- nection with the project and an in crease in penalties for violation put into effect.
