Little, Rock, Aug. 15.-The price of ginning cotton for this year was fixed at 30 cents hundred for seed cotton and S2 a bale for wrapping at the convention of the Arkansas Ginners' Association yesterday. The convention was held at the old state house. The price for wrapping is 25 cents higher than that of last year, but the ginners say they believe that the increased price they pay for wrapping justifies this

Sewer Taxes Will Not

 Been Paying Business

The Board of Commissioners for Sewer District No. l, in Ashdown have decided not to levy or collect any taxes in the sewer district for the year 1919. This is done for the reason that cer- tain funds have accumulated for this district which will enable the district to pay the interest on the bond issue for this year, without the payment of taxes; and for the further reason that the board is exceedingly anxious that all persons who have not connected with the sewer do so at earliest pos sible moment.

PRICES OF FOOD BEGIN
 TO BREAK IN PLACES
Commission Men Blame Producers Association for the High Prices
 of Food Stuffs.

Chicago. Aug. 14-High wages con- tinued to pour into cash registers for high-priced clothing, shoes and luxu- ries today, while prices in food com modities were breakingg under the strain of increased shipments by pro- ducers who feared lower prices, gov ernment investiga ton of hoarding and profiteering and aroused public senti- ment.
 A plumber and labor union presi- dent said wage earners were having "a fling while commission merchants blamed the producers organizations for high prices of commodities.
 At the same time the federal Bureau of Markets, in report on cold storage warehouses, showed generally large increase in stored foods on August 1, as compared with the same year ago. Nearly twice as much butter, 20 per cent more eggs and considerable in crease in meats were reported.
 The majority of retailers were sell ing sugar at 12 and 13 cents pound today, federal authorizities having agreed on 12 cents as fair price.
 Department store managers said highly paid mechanics were buying high priced clothing and shoes and that the public generally demanded the best and would not buy lowpriced articles if they were to be had.
 ''These big producers associations really are operating in restraint of trade,' said a commission merchant, who declared men in his line actually were selling at a loss because the producers were demanding too high prices and to charge what the com- mission men should receive would cause every buyer to label him prof iteer.
 Apples selling at $3.25 to $3.5O a box cost him $3.50, he declared, and peaches bought at $3.S2 box were selling from s325 to s3.50.
 Potatoes fell $1 hundred pounds at retail today. and peaches and mel ons dropped somewhat, while ship ments were increasing. But lower re- tail prices were not general.

Daylight Law Veto.

Washington, Aug. 13. - President Wilson will veto the law proposing the repeal of the daylight saving act, it was said today.
 The measure has been before the president since August and he is ex- pected to return it to congress before the end of the week. Efforts to pass the agricultural bill with the repeal rider over the presidents veto failed last month and both house and senate leaders are doubtful if the two-thirds majority necessary to pass the repeal law over the executives head can be obtained.

EXTRA SESSION IS VERY
 DOUBTFUL THIS YEAR
Would Call Extra Session of Legisia- tMre to Pass Measure to Prevent
 PrOfiteering In State.

Special tc the News.
 Little Rock. Aug. 15.-Prospects for a second extra session to consider leg islation to prevent profiteering are not very bright. The agitation for the ses- sion was started by leading labor tradesmen of the state. Gov. Brough requested an opinion from the Attof- nev General as to whether or not there was any law by which proilteer- ing could be punished The Attorney General replied that the only law touching anything like profteerlng was the antitrust statute, which mak- es it unlawful to make combination for the restraint of trade. This would not necessarily mean profiteering, TOT a conspiracy would first have to be es- tablished
 Gov. Brough did not ask the Attor- ney General if the legislature 'couio mass an act to prevent profiteerlng, put had he it is intimated he would nave been told that the constitution Of ArK- ansas does not give the legislature the right to fix prices.
 Should Gov. Brough decide to call the legislature back, it is known that measure will be made to nave the foao Ioo;s,ation which caused such long dehate in the recent special session. incorporating in the call. Efforts Will likewise be made to include provisions +o care for the state guard. It IS charged that representatives ot1 unlon labor, opposing any action that Will continue the militia, played proml- nont mart in the decision of the House to adjourn without considering any thing but the suffrage amendmeent. Il is alleged that they feared the friehos of the militia would secure some fav- orable action if the session was ex'eho- ed hence used their influence to force an adjournment. While the movement for the special session was started oy them this time, it is thought they VIII back away from it if the friends or the state guard innsist on recognition Ill special session.

The accident happened at Jop- lin, Mo-, about three years ago. The case was brought to this court from Missouri two years ago on account or the fact that our supreme court not being so far behind as the Missouri court in case of appeals The case was first tried by Judge J. T. Cowling and verdict found by the jury for the plaintiff in the sum of $5O,O0O. The verdict was set aside by the trial court on account of an error. Since that time the case was continued for the duration of war to comply with some federal regulation.

a group of French women to go to France and begin industrial work.
 Large Foyers des Alliees were es- tablished as soon as. investigation showed to Miss Dingman, the pioneer of the work, that what the women needed was place for recreation. Moral conditions were serious be cause of the utter hopelessness of the wOmen-many of them refugees, oth- CTS repatries-and because of the male labor employed, Chinese, Cinga- lese and Moroccan. The government furnished necessities in the way of food and lodging, but at most living conditions were hard.
 Foyers were opened In sixteen fac tories. A new secretary, stumbling along the road in the pitch darkness of a cantonment near the front one night, stopped woman worker to in- quire the way. "Oh." she breathed. tits the house with the lightl" And

so the Foyer des Alliees, which means is English Hearthstone of the Allies, became known as 'the house with the light" for inside it was cheerful and it was bringing happiness back into the grlef-crazed eyes of these uE- fortunate victims of the war
 Inside the Foyer during the two hour luncheon period there is always an en- tertainment by the girls themselves or by professionals. There is always mu- sic and always Blue Triangle letter paper, magazines and books, and at night the women may play games, sing, write letters, read, sew, wash or iron their clothes. for electric irons, boards, washtubs and sewing ma chimes are an indispensable part of every Foyer equipment.
 French employers began soon to realize the financial value of keeping women workers as comfortable and happy as possible and seeing that they

had proper recreation. Andre Citreon, the big French munitions manufactur- CT, was soon convinced of the prac- ticability of the work and built or turned over part of some building in each of his factories for a Foyer des Alliees, equipping each completely with anything which Miss Dingman felt was necessary. He has commend cd the work highly and advised that 1t be continued.
 Recently NJ. Loucher. the French minister of arms and munitions manu- facture, wrote Miss Dingman as fol lows:
 q must express to you the very great satisfaction and most sincere gratitude of the French government for the service rendered to the women working in government factories through the establishment of Y. w. c. A. Foyers des Alliees.
 "These Foyers have been an excel

 T must thank you for bringing this to pass, and l hope that Y. w. 0. A. work will not disappear with the war, but will be carried on in order to de- yelop the principles of social solidarity which 1t has inspired"
 And from M Firmin Roz of the Con- missary Generals office After visit ing two of your Foyers des Alliees al- low me to tell you how much I admire your excellent organization and the happy results which it produces. l have never seen brighter faces than those of the young French women to whom you extend such beneficial, cor @ial and gracious hospitality.
 T was particularly struck by the singing and dancing classes. The young girls who were seated quietly at their needle-work also seemed so satisfied at being there, that I under stood, merely on looking at them, how you had changed the ordinary course of their days in affording them so agreeable a rest during their hours of recreation.
 Tt would. indeed, be unfortunate if such an organization were to stop with the war am quite sure you can find French ladies who arc competent to continue your work if you will stay long enough with us to train them and inculcate them with the spirit of the Y. W. c. A.

parable 10 your work. ConseGuep,,v it is absolutely necessary that our Rsu- men enjoy the benefit of a social work such as yours. All those who have seen your Foyers think as 1 do and very much hope that the Y. ". c. \. will leave some of it's members here. now that war is over, so that their ex- ample may be followed in France"
 Such tributes are typical and ez- plain why four departments of the French government-Finance, Com merce, War and Labor-requested the '. w. CA. to do social and recreation al work for the girls and women en- ployed by them and why they assisted the women at Y. W. C. A. headquarters in Paris in getting buildings for Foyers and parks, such as the island in the Loire at Tours, for recreation centers last summer.
 | The needs of the reconstruction pe- riod-while these French women are readjusting their lives to a new order of things-are greater even than dur ing war. While they are learning tr begin lifelong work in factory or of fee such as was unknown to women in France five years ago, 1t is more necessary that American women stanil by them and help them than 1t has been during these eighteen months past, says Miss Henrietta Roelofs. .di- rector of I. W. C. A. in France. It is because of this that Miss Dingman s returning to France at once to develop the work which she began and to tell these women that the women of Amer ica are stretching forth their hands in sympathy and encouragement to the women of France

came more important than silks and yelvets. Undoubtedly women will op- crate a great deal of the machinery in these new factories The return of men will dispace certain amount of woman labor. The return of men will, on the other hand, relieve cer-. tain percentage of women from the necessity of supporting themselves and their children. But in the meantime something must be done to help these women keep their poise to help them bridge the difficulties which confront them and to take care of them.
 While the world reioiced at the news of peace, while men and women of all ages and all faiths, cheered. sang, embraced and danced up and down Fifth Avenue, Piccadilly, the Champs Elysees and other streets of the worlds three largest cities and up and down Main street of every town in the United States, these wo- men went to the Y. W. c. A. secreta- ries, and, wringing their hands, cried: 'The war-it is Over-but we do not know where to go next What is to become of us?'
 Thousands Of women are being re- leased from war jobs every day, Miss Dingman says, and they literally do not know where to go next. Because of this Miss Dingman prophecies that the Y. W. c. A. will continue it's work in France, though the matter is not 1 definitely decided. French officials are requesting that the I. W. c. A. con tinue to develop industrial welfare work for women-the first eyer known in France.
 The problem is one which has never been faced before in France. Women did not work in factories and an op- lpormnity for social welfare work
 among women had pot come as 1t had
 in England and America previous to
 the war. When women went into in
 dustry they were unused 10 it and
 forced to it. Employers were unaccus
 toned to 1t and therefore not able tc : cope with the situation It was thus
 that the Y. W. c. A. was requested by

gK1 RENCH women have under lA&Al gone stupendous suffering IASi because of the war. True
 S But picture to yourself, if
 you can, their sufferings now that peace has come and labor is at a standstill.
 Over million French women were employed in munitions factories during the war, and already they are being displaced not because men will take the work over, but because of a tenn porary clogging of the wheels of in- dustry. according to Miss Mary Ding man, director of Y. W. c. A. work for French industrial women, who Is in this country on a short furlough
 The barren. cheerless factory dorml- tory has been home to these women for the past two years. The cantonment compound, devoid of trees or grass, q sea of mud in rainy weather and q sheet of burning clay, piteously scorching every one who crossed it during summer, has been their recrea- ton ground, and they were thankful for even that
 The women who worked In muni- tions were mostly refugees. Now that war is over and the factories are clos ing down-for France was far ahead with it's munitions program due to the tireleSs efforts of these women-wo- men convicts, women from the oldest and most aristocrauc families of France and peasant women are alike being turned out into world which holds nothing for them-neither hap piness, homes or loved ones. They were bound together by bonds of dull dazed suffering before A new sort ot democracy holds them together now.
 They have no place to go. Theil homes were destroyed. Houses ma, be rebuilt, but without money, withou family, without worldly goods, with memory which is scared by four year of suffering, what hope is there fo these women unless American womei reach forth and prove to them the sis terhood of the world?
