MAKE USE OF WASTE HEAT
Councillors of ReykJavIk, Iceland, Ap.
ply System That Reduces the
Taxation of the Citizens.

The city council Of Reykjavik, Ice
land, has now begun the baking of
bread In special bakery in connec-
ton with the gas works, where mod
ern machinery has been installed In
a special building. The result was ex-
cellent, in that the waste heat from
the gas works is being used in a prac-
ticable and profitable manner. and In
the course of a short time all the
black bread which may be needed
will be baked in the new bread fac
tory.
The idea was that of young stu
dent there, and 1t is considered one of
the best means of saving coal, time
and money. Three-pound loaves have
been completely baked In three hours
in considerable numbers.

As to the washing habits of royalty
in former times, there is one thing, at
least, to be remembered to King
Johns credit. His accounts show that
that constantly travelling king nearly
always had bath at his resting
places during his journeys.
His "water man" could generally
reckon upon getting the bath fee of
1fivepence. For to our early king, as
to the modern sojourners in most no.
tells, bath was officially accounted
as an extra, to be paid for as such.
The royal water man obtained his
special fee every time his majesty de-
manded 2 bath-except upon the three
great church festivals. - London

When Did Civil War End,

Ask anybody the date of the Civil
wars end. The answer will invariably
be: April, 1895" But, in a literal
sense, that answer is all wrong.
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war came to an end TAT the pc
Rod designated In the proclamation of
the president of the United States"
That proclamation was dated April
2, 1865. Thus the Civil war came to
a formal conclusion on that date, not
in April of 1885.

POTATO FIELDS ARE
 NOW BEING INSPECTED
InsDectOr of State Plant Board Has Been Making Inspections Of
 Potato Fields.

Little Rock, Oct. 21.-(SpeciaD- -G.G. Becker, Chief Inspector of the State Plant Board, has been making an in spection of the sweet potato fields of those who applied for inspection
 He reports that the prevalence of stem rot or wilt prevented many fields from passing the inspection.
 In discussing the situation, Mr. Becker said: 'I am sorry that every man could not get a certificate of in spection, but at the same time it was very gratifying to find that failure to pass inspection was not due as much to negligence or carelessness on the part of the growers as it was to the fact that most of them did not realize the seriousness of wilt. We can get rid of black rot and we could even handle the sweet potato weeVll, if We had it to contend with, but wilt can- not be either killed or controlled-it must be prevented.
 "Once a piece of ground becomes in fecJed with wilt it will eventually be- come worthless of sweet potatoes. Ground remains infected for least eight years-how much longer we do not know. What we must do, there fore, is to set out nothing but slips which are absolutely free of the dis ease, it matters not whether the ground is free of the disease or not. Ii the ground is free, you want to keep it free and if it is infected you want to keep it from spreading the infection.

STREETS ARE TORN UP
Continuous Rains Have Prevented the
 Pavement Planned at TeXarkana.

TeXarkana, Oct. 1S.-As a result of the continued rains of the last three weeks there has been further delay in the paving of streets on the Arkansas side. The district, known as Pave ment District 20, was formed before the war, and comprises 75 blocks of the downtown residence section. Ina bility of contractors to obtain material and labor because of the war caused an extension of time for the complet- ion of the work, and since the war ended difficulties have continued, due mainly to the scarcity of labor. Some weeks ago it was announced that the spreading of concrete would be started about October 1, but this has been made impossible by reason of the un- precedented rains.
 The streetsy are torn up by the i'm provement work and are perfect loblolly of mud-in a worse condition than they have been in 30 years. The contractors say that the work will be completed as soon as weather condi- tions permit

FOR A MORE SEVERE
 A@Fl- STRIKE ACT
Senate Committee ThdOws Down the &auntlet f0 Organized Labor.
 Is Far Reaching.

Washington. Oct 20-The Senate In- terst&te Commerce Committee today threw down the gauntlet 10 organized labor and instead of modifying the anti strike clause of the Cummins railroad bill, decided to put more teeth in them.
 The new anti-strike provision agreed upon is more far reaching than any thing yet suggested and goes beyond mere prohibition of strikes or lock- out on the transportation systems. It provides severe penalties for anyone who even advises a railroad strike. This provision was added, members of the committee said, to catch agitators outside of those actually in the rail- road employ As one senator put it is
The Little River news., 1919-10-22
to catch the Fosters. !"

The anti-strike feature of the Cum mins bill threatens to throw the labor issue wide open in Congress and pre-. cipitate the struggle which members of both Houses have been striving to avoid for years The temper of Con- gress now is such that it is believed the anti-strike proposal will be carried in some form.
 Three members of the committee, Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, Re- publican; Senator Stanley of Ken- lucky, and Senator Wolcot of Dele ware, Democrats, opposed the bill. It probably will meet with stubborn op- position in both Houses Many sen- ators are preparing to take the posi- tion that the anti-strike provision is ineffective and unavoidable and that it lays down a principle which, if fol- lowed to it's logical conclusion. will result in the forbidding of strikes in all industries.
