Darkness About to Envelop Y Arkansas Towns When Commission InteryeneS!

Only intervention by the Ar kansas Corporation Commis sion, with the acquiesence d the communities affected prevented suspension of elec tric service in IT towns, as shown by the appended news paper report.
 The receiver said he was not greatly concerned; that unless increases. were. granted. he would ask United States Judge| Youmans for authority t0I suspend, and that the com. pany would make money by| suspension, operating costs| are so great. The rates found necessary are based on Gas at 4c to Sc| per 1000 cubic feet. Gas costs us more than three times as much as the maxi mum of Sc paid by the Com monwealth Company. Should the proposed increase in gas rates become effective, our gas bill will be doubled. we will pay more than six times as much as the company which found itself unable to supply electricity for less than 18c and 200.
 You can easily see that high CT costs make necessary our
 h request for 16c per k. W. h. maximum ,rate-an increase of only 1c per k. ". h.

REMAINS Of
GUSTAV LEE ARRIVE
MILITARY SERVICE IN HIS HON.
OR--BURIAL AT ST. PETERS
CHURCH CEMETERY.

EMBODIED in the Stars and Stripes,
under the folds of which he gave up
his life in the service of his country.
lies all that is mortal of Private Gus
tav b. Lee, who served in Company
M. t. o. of the American Expedition
ary forces.
Last evening the body reached
Madison by express, having come all
the way from Liverpool, England,
where the demise occurred, after a
lengthy and fatal illness.
The remains are now reposing in
the undertaking rooms of A. G. Hal
lenbeck and will remain there until
the time for the funeral services
which occur at p. m. tomorrow.
At the home of the parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Halvor Lee, south of this
city, at O'Clock, the services proper
will be conducted under the auspices
of the American Legion, from ST
Peters church.
To give this burial its proper mill
tary setting, members of Harold Nc
Kibbin Post No. 25 are to assemble at
Eagles hall at 1890 p M and form
an escort of honor in memory of him
whose body is the first to be sent
back to Lake county since the war.
Not too much attention can be be-
slowed upon those who cherished life
as we do yet voluntarily offered up
their lives in defense of liberty and
humanity. The grieving parents and
relatives have the consolation that he.
did not die in vain though not laid
low by shot or shell. His memory
still lives and his service was mat
ter of vital importance TO the general
safety of nations.
Rev. c. X. Solberg of Trinity Luth-
eran church will speak those words
that most alleviate sorrow and give
tribute to an obvious voluntary sac
rifice.

FIND MASTODON
BURIAL GROUND
TRAVELLER IN STATE MAKES A
DISCOVERY OF PREHISTORIC
GRAVEYARD.

Deadwood, Sept &C. w. Heake,
of Spokane, Wash, who has been
travelling over northwestern South
Dakota, discovered a mastodon
graveyard in the Little Missouri river
country. The tooth of one of the
mastodons-one of the finest and
largest ever found in South Dakota
or adjoining states-now is being ex-
hibited by him in Deadwood
The tooth is about three inches
thick and seven inches square, and is
petrified. Mr.. Heake was hiking over
mountain when he found the tooth,
with other parts of the extinct ami
NAL
The remains were lying on the sur
face of the ground, evidently having
been washed out by the heavy rains
of this summer. They ordinarily are
found about seven feet below the sur
fact of the ground.
Mr.. Heake has in his collection
several parts of the mastodon, includ-
ing shoulder blade, jaw-bones, with
teeth, back rib, which is seven feet
eight inches long, and several other
petrified bones of the monster
1t is believed that any one who is
interested would be able to unearth
a complete mastodian skeleton at the
point where Mr.. Heake unearthed his
speciment if they took the required
time and were provided with means
for extensive digging.
From all appearances number of
mastadons assembled at the spot,
probably to take shelter from a great
prehistoric storm or convulsion of the
earth, and were overwhelmed at the
where Heake discovered the parts of
a mastadon now in his possession.

Pierre, Sept. 2.-The Soldiers
Land Settlement board has been
looking into the work of the ev-serv-
ice men who have secured funds to
start in farming, all such reporting
their progress since securing the
state loans. The first SO who have
reported to the board show that they
have put in 4,4S0 acres of crops OF
various character, of which 1,67l
acres have been put into corn, with
wheat second at 912 acres, and other
crops of different character making
up the rest of the list. Out of the
list 40 are combining dairying with
their farm operations, and selling
cream to keep up the cash reserve
while waiting for the crop to mature
and be placed upon the market.
These same men are also showing
their farm judgment by mixing the
raising of live stock along with their
other farm operations, and are the
owners of 1,013 head of cattle, 485
hogs besides other live stock.

ENORMOUS CROPS
ARE BEING HELD
RESERVE BANK SAYS FARMERS
WANT HIGHER PRICES

Minneapolis, Sept. 2.-Bankers re-
port tendency to withhold cattle
from the market in the hope of bet
ter prices to the farmers of the north
west, says a crop review issued by
the Ninth district federal reserve
bank. In localities of South Dakota
and Montana livestock is withheld
in order to convert the pasture grass
into weight of flesh. Throughout the
district wool is being stored in the
hope of a better market.
The wheat production in four
northwestern states in 1919 was
132,227, 900, as against probable
yield this year of 100000 bush
els, says the reserve bank statement
Oats totaled 1SS,330,000 bushels in
1919. This year the promised yield
is 9,0S0,000 bushels. Similar pro-
portions of prospective gain are
maintained as relates to other gains
The government forecast indicates
total production of 245, 100000
bushels of corn and 1S, sci 90 tons, of
hay AS compared with a year ago,
the states of North and South Da-
kota, Montana and Minnesota are
producing an excess of 198,000,O0O
bushels of small grains and 100000
bushels of corn. There is an esti-
mated grand total of small grains of
100000 bushels. The latest fig
ures show 7,350,000 bushels of grain
of the old crop in 4,900 elevators in
North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa, and 3,500,OOO bushels of the
old crop is still on the farms.
Transportation conditions during
the ensuing few months will govern
the business situation in the near fu-
ture, says the report. The report
finds that the buying power of the
public has about reached it's limit.
Stringent money conditions prevail
and the liquidation of merchandise
has progressed slowly, continues the
report.
Slight Improvement in the fuel sit
uation is reported during July. From
the opening of navigation to the end
or July the coal receipts at the head
of the lakes has been 2,345,58O short
tons This total is only A per cent
of the receipts during similar per-
iod in 1919.
Dull business is reported, particu-
larly in leather and automobiles and
auto tires: Interest rates continue
firm and there is no sign of easy
money in the near future. The report
says some authorities look for a
change in commodity prices before
spring. Many reports give support
to the view that the shortage in pro-
duction will have been overcome
within six xmonths.
The reserve bank has notified it's
borrowing member banks that it will
expect liquidation with the movement
of the crops. When the flow of the
crop money starts the banks are ex-
pected to put themselves in shape foI
the demands of the spring planting
time next year.

NIT his net costs and selling price per
ton," Mr.. O'Conner said. "If 1t then
develops that unjust profits are be-
ing exacted within the meaning OF
the food control act prosecutions will
follow.
