FRANCE REPLIES NO TO PROPOSALS
Paris Notifies United States That German Scheme is Un- acceptable - French News papers Are Indignant.

Paris, April 27.-Jean Jules Jusse- rand, French ambassador to the United States, has been informed by the French government that the Ger man reparations proposals, as trans mitted to the Washington govern ment, are absolutely unacceptable.
 The French point of view is that these proposals, instead of making any advance towards satisfactory set clement of the separations question, are rather step backward
 Newspapers in this city were un- animous today in demanding further proposals and guarantees from Ger many, or the occupation of the Ruhr district of that country.
 The caption used by L'Humanite, organ of the radical party and most persistent critic of the Briand gov ernment, was:
 First of all seize the security and talk afterward," and this appeared to sum up the trend of the editorial sit uation in this city.
 "In the presence of the failure oi all appeals looking to conciliation, said L'Humanite, "how can one fal to be convinced that Germany is re solved to pay us only, according tt Marshal Foch's famous expression, il monkeys currency'?"
 "Pertinax,' political editor of th' Echo de Paris, remarked:
 "The German note reached Wash ington on April 25 At this junctur the attitude of Secretary of Stat' Hughes has been all that we coult desire. He was resolved not to em barrass us in any way, and he wll conform to our opinion"
 "France and England now are mis tresses of their destinies," declare' Eclaire.

CIVIL SERVICE
 PRESENTATIONS"
Harding Plans Change in Nam ing POstmasters-Want to Choose From Three or Four Making Highest Grades.

Washington, April 27.-The first of postmasters to be made by President Harding were sent to the Senate today, leading to re- ports that the administrations policy in regard to appointment of postmas ters generally would probably be an- nounced soon. The list contained the names of 84, all of whom, according to statement issued at the White House, had made the highest mark in competitive civil service examina- tion, except where the veterans pref erence statute operates
 Congressional leaders said their un- derstanding was that the nominees had not only qualified under the civil service requirements, but were accept able to party leaders in their respec- tive districts, and that no delay was anticipated in their confirmation.
 Members of both the House and the Senate said they expected within a few days a definition of policy Tn re- gard to postmasterships from Presi- dent Harding, after consultation with Postmaster General Hays. This would probably be, they said, in the form of an order continuing, perhaps
 "with some notifications" the civil
 service requirements now existing for
 postmasters of all classes, and clarl-
 flying regulations providing for the
 retirement of postal employees.
 What notifications might be under consideration was not indicated, al- though in some quarters it has been
 said that the civil service require ments for appointment might be con- , tinued, with provision that selections could be made from among the first three or four in the list, so allowing some latitude in making nominations

BIG SHIPMENT OF SHIRTS

"The largest single shipment of shirts ever received in Prescott was delivered to Joe Boswell, the Clothier, yesterday. MT. oBswell, who has the largest mens' and boys furnishing store in Southwest Arkansas, ordered fifteen dozen shirts by the express cute to meet an emergency created by the success of his big sale which has been going on for the past tive weeks"
 Certainly there was an error in the above. Perfectly natural, too, for newspaper man. When you consider that a printer usually has one shir out and one shirt in the wash, yol can readily understand why the "bull' in the above article. MT. Boswell' order was for one hundred and flfteei 115) dozen shirts via express.

20 NIGHTRIDERS
 ADMIT GUILT
Accept Sentences For Arson and Intimidation-Thirteen Go to Penitentiary For a Term of One Year.

Jonesboro, April 27-Twenty men under indictment on charges growing out of night-riding here last fall to- day pleaded guilty and were sentenc- ed to prison terms ranging from two months to year. They included De- witt Garrett, who has been on trial for practically 6 week, and whose at- torneys last night asked permission for him to change his plea from not guilty to guilty.
 The 30 men have been confined in the county jail for the past two weeks Garrett had been on trial for the burning of the dwelling house of Stroud and McAdams. He decided to withdraw his plea of not guilty and desired to enter plea of guilty and ask the mercy and leniency of the court. This was agreed to by Cecil Shane and Mike Huddleston, William Smith and Fred Mullinix for the de- fense, and later Garrett, who had been indicted in 42 cases for night riding and arson, pleaded guilty, as did 12 others. They are John Haynes, Ever cit Kincaid, L. c. Byrd, Arley Cooper, Elmer Castleman, Harrison Duty, Roy Morgan, Noel Housley, Charles Ashley, Clarence Burrow, E. Snow and Virgil Coffman. Each pleaded guilty in a number of cases, and with Garrett, were given one year in the penitentiary. All of the other cases were continued.
 Will Davis and Harry Wingfeld, who were indicted number of times each, pleaded guilty and were given six months in the penitentiary. Bob Story, D. L. Staley, Ed Barber and E' Bowman each pleaded guilty in a number of cases and were given a short sentence of two months Tn the penitentiary. The last seven defend ants were given consideration on ac- count of their full and frank comics sion after being arrested.
 Chester Fleeman, Floyd Walker Bob Story, Clarence and John Craig Vester Kincaid, Oscar Lamberson Carb Tabor, Eulis' Beller, Roy Chll- ders and Herbert Pullman were dis charged. The attorneys for the state announced they had no testimony to warrant a conviction of these men.
 Dewitt Garrett and several other of the convicted men were allowed to make bond for term of two weeks in the sum of $2,000 in order that they may go to their homes and ar

If cabbage heads begin to crack be-
fore one is ready to use them, they
may be bent over SO as to break the
roots on one side, and the growth will
be checked.
Hens that delay moulting will b.
slow in starting to lay next winter.
Two tablespoonful of oil meal to
every quart of morning mash will help
them, and also furnish extra protein
for the new feathers.
Fallen leaves make fine material for
the hens scratch shed. Gather after
one or two heavy frosts and store in
a dry shed. They are rich in expen-
sive fertilizer elements, and make the
poultry droppings more valuable.
In these days much thought is given
to the selection of corn for next years
