Say Compress Fire
 Was An Accident"

Little Rock, Oct. 26.-It is the census of opinion at Earle, that the burning of the cotton compress there on the morning of October 22, was merely an accident, according to a report received in the office of the governor Monday morning. The re- port which was conducted by Sher- if William l.. Fish, upon request of the governor, declared that a thor ough investigation had been made, and that it was impossible to de- termine just how the fire originat- ed.
 The report stated, however, that it "is the census of opinion in the through some accident, perhaps a match was dropped in the cotton in the afternoon of the preceding day, or perhaps some time previous, but the people do not believe it was set fire by anyone purposely, and regarded it as purely accidental, as they will occasionally occur"
 Relative to the troops, which first reports said the residents of the county had requested, the sheriff said that there was possibly some need of eight guards at Turrel and Gilmore, althought he and his dep uties had been handling the situa. tion with the aid of citizens, and would continue to do if the guards were not furnished. Discussing the fire and nightriding situation, the report said:
 ''This was indeed a great loss to the people there, but these things will occur. do not anticipate any trouble in Crittenden county from night riders. However, we have had two or three gins whose proprietors have been notified to discontinue operations but they are still running with full force. The compress, with 4,400 bales of cotton is the only damage sustained in this county" | Major Virgil A. Beeson, who was sent to investigate the situation al so, in report received by the ad. jutant general Monday morning characterized as foolish" the send ing of any number of guards to the county. He declared in his report that the situation is not alarming and the reports emanating from the county had been greatly exag | gerated.

Pleunsy.

The pleuria is a delicate membran.
that covers the lungs and lines the in
ternal surface Of the chest wall.
Its two opposing surfaces are very
smooth and are moistened by a thin
layer OF fluid so that the movements
OF the lungs in breathing occur with
out friction. Inflammation of the
membrane is called pleurisy.
Like most infammations, it may b.
either acute or chronic, but in any cas-
Ii usually is acute when il starts
Pleurisy may begin as such, in which
case 1t is known as primary or simpl
pleurisy; but often il is secondary td
such diseases as pneumonia or tube
culosls, and originates in the lung and
extends outward so as to involve its
surface. Pleurisy may be what is
called dry or wet; if wet, it may be
purulent or serious, according as the
huid exudate does or does not contain
pus.
Acute dry, or fibrous, pleurisy be-
gins suddenly with fever and a severe
stabbing pain in the chest, which is
caused by the rubbing of the surfaces
of the pleura, which have become rough
through loss of the layer of lubricating
fluid that normally is present As the
pain is increased bv movement, the pa
tient breathes very specifically and
does his best to suppress the cough
that harnesses him. The attack lasts
from few days to a week or two I'M
less it passes over into the wet form
which is more serious and usually OF
longer duration.
The treatment is directed chiefly to
relieve the pain, which is ACCOMPLISHED
by hot or cold applications, and in the
severer cases by immobilizing the af-
fected side by srtpis of adhesive plas-
ter.
The wet form, called pleurisy with eff
fusion, may begin like the dry form
with fever and pain in the side. but :.
| pain may be absent or it NAV disap-
| pear when the water that at,umulates
in the chest separate the two LAYERS
of the pleura. If the amount Of fluid
is slight, it may be absorbed within a
few days after the inflammation has
subsidized.
The pain should be treated with hot
or cold applications, as in dry pleurisv
but Strapping with adhesive plaster
will do no good. If the fluid accu-
initiates greatly, it must DC rcmo,ei
| through hollow needle passed into
the cavity of the chest. When the
fIuid becomes purulent, the condition
is known as empyema
Acute pleursy, either dry or wet, is
often followed by tuberculosis Of the
lungs, if it is not an early symptom OF
tuberculosis that already exists. For
this reason person who has had
pleurisy should take especial care of
/ himself. He should live much in the
open air, sleep with open windows, and
seek medical advice if he is feverish

sistent cough

CANNON WANTS TO
KNOW
Drop in Prune Prices Leads to De-
mand for investigation.

Prompted by the drop in price OBJ
tainable for Idaho Italian prunes, and
the great discrepancy between these
prices and quotations circulated, Miles
Cannon, commissioner of agriculture,
sent the following telegram Tuesday
to Washington.
Bureau Of Markets, Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c.:
Northwest flooded with price quota
tions. Italian prunes especially high.
When fruit arrived it sold from so
cents to $1.25. Producers losing mon
ey, owing to advanced freight rates
and cost of production. Suggest in
vestigation of what consumers pay in
Chicago and New York compared with
other years. If possible, ascertain
cause of unprecedented low prices be-
ing obtained"
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1920-09-23

In explanation Of this telegram, Mr..
Cannon said that Idaho Italian prunes,
generally conceded to be the best in
the northwest, are bringing about halt
Of last years prices, and that during
the past week, while quotations in
New York and Chicago have been re-
ported as rising there has been no cor
responding increase in the actual
prices obtainable. On the contrary,
the price is dropping.
A local fruit company received
Tuesday the following telegram from
one Of its representatives:
Philadelphia auction Monday Ital-
ian prunes $1.s5 suitcase. Boston,
$1.35. Chicago auction Tuesday,
Washington Italian prunes, IA cents
box. New York auction Tuesday av-
eraged SO cents. Crates $1.56. Wash
ington boxes, 81 cents, suitcases "a
cents, crates $1.05. Oregon boxes, 68
cents"
This telegram is interpreted as
meaning that when the Idaho produc-
er has paid the expenses Of crate,
freight and commission, he is not only
giving the fruit away, but losing mon
ey besides.
