FIRST NEW rice
IN ARKANSAS
The P. & L. Ranch Has Honor
Of Sending First 1919 Crop
Rice to the Mill. Is First
In the Entire State

The Joy Rice Milling Co.. Of
Wheatley, received the first con-
signment of the new crop rice
in Arkansas, Saturday.
This rice was grown by the
Prouty & Loewer Co., Wheat
ley, who, for three consecutive
years have harvested and mar
keted the first rice of the sea-
son.
This crop consists of Sol
Early PEARL" Edith" and
Improved Early Prolific" which
mature considerably earlier than
the Honduras, Blue Rose and
Japan varieties. This is the
first Early Pearl planted in
this state and proves conclu-
sively that it is especially adap-
ted to this soil and climate.
Henry Loewer, manager for
Prouty & Loewer, states that
from all indications the EARLY
Pearl variety will yield 100 BIZ
shells per acre. while the Edith
will average fully Is bushels per
acre on their 100-acre patch.
Arkansas is rapidly assuming
her position among the fOd-pro-
ducing states materially assist
ing in the reduction of the high
cost of living.

BURGLARS AT
WORK IN BRINKLEY
They Break in Business Houses
and Residences Alike. A Wo-
man Connected With Some
of the Work-No Arrests

Nearly every morning comes
the report of some place in
Brinkley being burglarized dur
ing the night.
Possibly the largest haul
made by the burglars was at A.
Goldberg's store, where a varied
assortment of fine furnishings
for men and women were taken,
estimated in value about $500.
Here the entrance was made
thro' the rear window by priz-
ing off the iron bars, etc.
At various residences in the
South end the burglars got in
their work but only small guam
titles have been taken as SO far
reported. At Mrs. Henry Brick
elrs Y. H. Wright's and several
other places the burglars were
frightened away before they Sc
cured any booty. A South end
report states that there were at
least two in the gang and that
one of these was a woman, and
that she was the stealthiest of
the two.
No arrests so far. Officers
Rogers and Haygood say that
they are powerless to clean up
the loafers and vagrants around
town until there is some way to
dispose of them That the cry
is mo money in the City Treas
ury to pay expenses of working
them on the streets"

TUESDAY NIGHT BALL IS
LARGELY ATTENDED

The Pre-Nuptial Dance given
in compliment to Miss Carrie
Louise Roescher and Mr.. Wilson
Sharp on Monday night at the
Hotel Roescher is said to have
been the most enjoyable and
successful event of the year, of
the kind.
Guests came from many miles
around, by train and motor,
many coming from Mariana,
Augusta, Forrest City, Claren-
don, Cotton Plant, Helena and
other points.
The feature of the dance was
the fancy dances as done by
young Mr.. McClintock and Miss
Leslie Freeman, of Marianna.
They did nearly all of the new
fancy dances, including all OF
the Vernon Castle specials and
then some. 1t was the fanciest
and most graceful dancing ever
done in Brinkley. Some OF the
dances were the Tickle Toe, the
Campbell Walk, the Lame Duck
and a modest exhibition Of the
noted and tabooed shimmy
dance the first ever seen here

POLICE COURT NEWS

Jake Peterson drew a SO fine
for giving his lady friend, 'An-
gle" Merritt, a. beating because
she wouldn't go fishing with
him.

j. w. Haygood, spurred on by
special Instructions from Mayor
Greenlee on Monday requiring
them to arrest motor car speed
ers in Brinkley streets, proceed
ed to arrest a young Clarendon
man Monday night for burning
the wind" on our streets. The
young fellow evidently was
a prominent fellow, SO the po-
lice report, as he wouldn't give
his name and asked to see the
mayor. Marshal Rodgers says,
Mayor Greenlee ordered us to
turn him loose as the night oc-
casion was a joyful one"

YOUR COTTON Will
BE GRADED FREE
Those Who Have Grown Good
Cotton Should Take Advan-
tage of the U. S. Free Ser
vice in Grading.

The Argus has been insisting
for several years that our farm,
ers plant and grow real grade
cotton instead of the sdogtail
variety" and there are many
who now have good cotton.
This will be to their advantage,
che United States Bureau of
Markets having placed as Of
ficial government cotton grader
at Little Rock, J. Knox Wood,
whose work viii be to grade and
staple cotton for the farmers of
Arkansas who may send samples
to him for that purpose. This
service is intended for those who
wish to know the classification
and market value of their cotton
before selling, and is such as is
being rendered by the govern
ment in all the cotton states.
It is no longer required by
state law for the ginner to take
samples and if this service is
desired the former must take
an eight-ounce sample from
the side of the bale, wrap it Sc
curely, and write upon the out
side the bale number and the
name and address of the sender
If several samples are sent, each
wrapper should be marked sep
arately and the lot of samples
placed in a second wrapper and
securely tied and forwarded to
Bureau of Markets, State Cap
itol, Little Rock. The county
agent or ginner will furnish
franked tags. If these cannot
be obtained a postal card re-
quest will bring a supply from
the Little Rock offices.
There is no charge for grad
ing. Uncle Sam is simply doing
this so that the farmer may
know the grade and value of
his cotton. Behind the work is
not only the United States Bur-
eau of Markets, but the Exten-
sion Division of the University
of Arkansas, the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture, the Farm
ers' Union, the Arkansas Bank
ers' Association, the State Agri-
cultural schools, the ASricultur-
al press and all agencies that are
striving to help the farmer.
