ever, that after the demands are form
ally presented and views are exchange
ed between the two sides, small sub
committee will be named to carry on
the actual negotiations.
When in final form the agreement
win he presented to the full committee
for adoption. In the case of the miners,
the agreement will have to go back to
a convention of the mine workers for
ratification.
Whether the mine workers viii re.
main at work, If an agreement Is not
reached by March 81. will depend large
ly, il is said, on how strenuously the
operators oppose the demands. No
opinion has thus. far been given by
either side as to the outcome of the me-
gotiations. The opinion was express Il.
however, that the negotiations prob.
ably would not be taken sup seriously
until the bituminous wage scale \ has
been agreed upon.

ASTOR LIBRARY
NOT A SCHOOL
FOR MIGRANTS
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 6-AThe Astor H.
brary on Lafayette street, one of the
SHOW places of the city a quarter of a
century ago, is to be converted into a
school for immigrants The Hebrew
Sheltering and Immigrants Aid Socie
ty recently purchased the property for
$325,O0O and is to spend another $780,.
600 in alterations. The building recent
'y has been used as stOrehOuse for
the disposal of surplus army foods.
Plans for establishing thorough
system Off education for immigrants
and for rendering aid to them immedi
ately upon, their arrival are now being
made by the society. The upper floors
will be used as dormitories for tempor
'arily housing incoming immigrants
and the lower floors for class rooms
The plans, which meet with the ap
'proval of the immigration authorities
at Ellis Island, contemplate schoo
for citizenship, where immigrants may
be taught the fundamentals of Ameri
can history and government and re
ceive information as to how and where
they can apply for citizenship.
"There is pleasing sentiment abou
making an immigrant school of the
Astor building" John l.. Bersten, pres
ident of the society, declared today
John Jacob Astor. the founder of th'
library, was himself an immigrant ant
! in his gift of the library to the public
he stated that he particularly wanted
! it to perpetuate his gratitude for wha
his adopted country had done for him
He expressed the hope that the Asto
library would render aid to all new
comers to the country. 1t seems lik
a prophecy that his. building shoult
now become a school exclusively TO
/ immigrants"

The foregoing estimates are based
upon the assumption that the valua.
tion of the various counties will re.
main as for 1919, and that the
same number of teachers of each
class will be employed in each coun-
ty in 1919-1920. 1t is also assumed
that the levies provided to run the
school for 1919-1920 and up to De-
cember 1920 were sufficient, and
that the funds produced have been
conserved as planned by the budget
of 1919. There will Of course be
considerable modification of the es-
Inmates according to the variations
from conditions existing at present.
Unquestionably the increase re-
quired for schools, especially teach
ers' salaries, will greatly increase
the tax rates which are already
ruinously high. All admit, however,
that the crisis must be met and
that good teachers must be secured
for our schools. This extraordinary
increase in school expenditure must
be offset by saving elsewhere. 9th
err proposed expenditures must be
closely scrutinized by the boards of
county commissioners and pared to
the essentials. Thus only can the
overburdened taxpayer be expected
to stand the strain. In the coming
election, men of business capacity
should be elected for the principal
county offices, and especially for
membership in the board of county
commissioners. The assessor, coun-
ty clerk and treasurer should be
men who are able, industrious, en-
ergetic and patriotic enough to han
die public business for the good of
all without fear or favor 1t is the

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
SUCCESSFUL

During the first 100 days of 1920
68 cooperative carloads of hogs
were shipped from % Arkansas
counties. The 6,480 hogs in the
cars were owned by 700 different
farmers or an average Of more than
10 shippers to each carload. Re.
turns totaling $127,59O.52 were re.
ceived for these hogs at the central
markets. The average cost of ship
ping was only 94.3 cents per hun
dredweight. The amount made
above the highest price offered To-
cally, where there was a local mar
ket, amounted to $3.50 per car, or
a total saving of more than S11-
500 on all shipments.
The season for shipping Arkan-
sas cattle has not started; but in
1919 cattle shipments from that
state exceeded the cooperative ship
ments of hogs, and indications this
year are that almost all the Arkan-
sas cattle will be shipped coopera-
lively.
The cooperative shipping of live
stock by the method advocated by
the United States Department of
Agriculture has been found prac-
ticable and profitable in all sections
of the country where live stock is
produced in connection with general
or specialized systems Of farming

IMPORTED BUTTER
DENIED ENTRY

Several shipments of butter Of
fered for entry into the United
States from foreign countries have
been denied entry because the but
ter failed to come up to the re-
quirements of the Federal food and
drugs act, according to officials of
the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture
The imported butter has to meet
the same standards and tests as the
domestic product. The majority of
the shipments which were refused
entry contained too little butter fat
and too much salt and water, but
few contained boric acid, harmful
preservative.
More butter came into the United
States last year than during any
other single year for the last 10
years. The quantity Of butter ex-
ported from the United States was
also larger than normal and more
than three times as much as the i'm.
ports. The total imports of butter
and butter substitutes for the year
1919 amounted 9,519,368 pounds
the exports Of butter for the same
period were 34,556,4S5 pounds.
The greater part of the butter
imported into the United States
now comes from Canada, but ship
ments come also from Denmark,
Australia, Argentina, and New Zea-
land. Of 300 shipments of butter
from Canada examined, 33, or lit
tie more than 10 per cent of those
examined, were denied entry into
the United States. A few shipments
from other countries also were not
admitted because they were adulter-
ated under the food and drugs act.
Shipments of imported butter are
carefully inspected at the port Of
entry, and only such butter is ad-
say the officials in charge
of the enforcement of the food and
drugs act, as meet the standard
which the domestic product is re-
quired to meet.

THE PRICE QUESTION

For the past few weeks there
have been announcements by mer.
chants in various localities in the
| United States of cuts in prices
mostly in wearing apparel, including
shoes and textiles.
These announcements have given
rise to the belief in some quarters
that the peak of high prices has
been passed and that from this time
forward we may expect tumbling
prices.
There is little in the situation to
justify the belief in continued
tumbling prices. 1t is possible that
the peak of high prices has been
reached on most commodities, and
that such changes as occur from
this time forward will in the main
be downward, but if such is the
case in the near future it will be
due to other causes than the opera
ton of the law of supply and de-
mand.
No relief is yet in sight. A few
profiteers here and there may have
their operations interfered with,
and merchants here and there may
slash prices in order to raise money,
but that is all for the present.
No authority anywhere says there
is over-production in any line, and
no authority anywhere says there is
appreciable slackening in demand.
Such price reductions as have SO
far occurred are probably almost
wholly due to deflation of credits.
1t has been stated that the federal
reserve boards have taken deliberate
action with this end in view, and
whether these boards advised othen
bankers to follow suit is immaterial.
There is nothing in the world so
timid as capital When bankers see
squeeze started they follow suit
without advice.
Everybody knows that there is
decided tightness of money at the
present time, and that bankers
everywhere are making efforts to
reduce credits.
1t is well known that many mer-
chants, probably majority, do
business on borrowed capital to a
greater or lesser extent, and the ag-
gregate of such borrowing is i'm
mense.
If the banker who is loaning
money to a merchant tells him it
is desirable that his borrowings be
reduced, or if the merchant decides
on his own initiative that it is bet
ter under present circumstances to
reduce borrowings and cut down in
terest charges, there is but one way
to do it, and that is to sell more
than the usual volume of goods for
cash.
Price reduction is the only way
in which abnoraml cash sales can be
brought about.
In our opinion practically all of
the recent price reductions have
been due to efforts at deflation by
either borrower or lender and do
not indicate a trend due to natural
causes.

IRRIGATION
DEMONSTRATION

The thing we have long wanted
namely, an irrigation demonstration
is now under way and may be in.
spected by anyone who is interested
The work is being done under di.
rection of Mr.. Roy Judd, an expert
enced irrigation farmer from Cali
fornia. He was assisted in some of
the preliminary work by the Cham
ber of Commerce and by E. McGee,
owner of the land which is located
just north Of the court house.
The tract comprises ten acres, of
which nine and one-half acres is
actually in crops, or being put in.
turn-rows and bitches taking up half
an acre.
About seven acres is in field
crops-different varieties of field
ard garden beans, field corn and
sweet corn, and the balance in gar
den truck - cabbage, cauliflower,
peppers, tomatoes, celery, etc. Plants
are being set out this week.
In planting the garden Mr.. Judd
had to run the pump at the lowest
possible notch, and then had more
water than he could use and had to
let some of it run away.
The present equipment Mr.. Judd
states will throw seven or eight
hundred gallons per minute, The
well would furnish a thousand gal
Ions per minute. He says a quarter
section of land in field crops could
be irrigated with this plant.
The slope of the land is such,
however, that very little more land
to the north could be brought un-
der this ditch, the land sloping east
and south. Mr.. McGee has more land,
part of which is laid out in town
lots, that could be brought under
this ditch, and land further to the
east-the Flesher addition-and of
course land east of the railroad,
could be brought under.
With this ocular demonstration it
ought to be possible to get other
irrigation farmers to take hold Of
the proposition, so that in a few
years we should have a considerable
area under irrigation.
As has before been stated in these
columns, there is no manner of
doubt as to what can be done with
water here. Also there is no man
ner of doubt that there are thous-
ands of acres of land that can be
brought under water under precise
ly the same conditions as the tract
under consideration. There are also
other thousands of acres Of land in
the east portion of the valley where
the conditions seem just as favor
able as here.
The only question is the cost of
putting the water on the land, and
this demonstration ought to furnish
an accurate basis in that regard
Any irrigation farmer interested
can now come forward and find all
the data he requires, and it may be
said safely that there is no other
place in the United States where ir-
rigable land can be bought as cheap
y as here.
