sian products which it will seek 10
barter for manufactured articles need
ed in Russia, according to the head of

| The soviet government will seek to
deal directly with German manufac.
tnrers, thus eliminating German and
Russian middlemen.
Russian imports for the first FIVE
months of the present year based upon
soviet estimates, totalled $4,000 tons.
q per cent of which came from Eng
land, 81 per cent from America, II per
cent from Germany and Ia per cent
from Esthonia. Exports for the same
period amounted 10 10000 tons of
which IS per cent was lumber and
most of the rest fax. A considerable
quantity OF Russian timber. which has
been hosted down rivers in Latvia is
now reported awaiting shipment.

has informed German industrial circles
that Russia has quantities Of raw
stuffs ready for export and desires to
exchange these for German manufae.

and which would do much toward the
rehabilitation Of industrial Russia. ;"
Among the articles particularly need

agricultural implements given to them
as prizes by Miss Anne Morgan and
Mrs. A. Murray Dixie of the American

in dugout and after two years of
hard labor succeeded in putting their
entire farm under cultivation.
Cash prizes totalling 1000 francs

Mrs. Dixie to the 30 farm hands in the

Conflict of Italian and
American Law May BE
In Prospect

Naples. Aug 4, (By the Associated
Press Patrician and plebean Naples
gathered early to-day at the Basilica
of the church of San Francisco di Piola
for the funeral of Enrico Caruso, who
died here on Tuesday. The edifice
situated in the southern part of the
city near the hotel where the great
singer, breathed is last, was decided
upon as the last scene in the drama of
the world famous tenor's life late yes
terday after King Victor Emmanuel
had given permission that it might be
used for this purpose.
As soon as word reached Naples that
the Basilica had been set apart for the
funeral workmen were engaged to con
struct great platform to accommodate
the 400 singers selected to assist in
the last requiem. In the center of the
Basiliea was erected large eatafalque.
Representatives of the king and the
royal family, the Italian government,
the municipality and the prefecture
appointed to attend the services, and
the United States, in which country
Caruso rose to his greatest triumphs
in the lyric art, had instructed Of
ficials TO appear at the funeral.
The crowds which on Tuesday filed
before the bier of the dead singer were |
eclipsed yesterday when thousands |
gathered at the Hotel Vesuvius to pay !
their respects to Caruso. So large was
the throng that it was deemed ad-
visable to remove the body from the |
death chamber to the hall of the hotel, 1
which was changed for the occasion
into a chapel About the body were
placed flowers sent by friends and ad-
mirers of the dead man, and the hall
was transformed by them into bower
of exquisite beauty.
Titta Ruffo, the baritone, who has
in recent years achieved fame in Amer.
lea, arrived during the day. and hast,
friend of Caruso, and insisted upon
helping TO transfer the body to the
temporary chapel.
Mrs. Caruso has made formal ap-
plication to the foreign minister. ask
ing that the Italian ambassador at
be instructed to seal the
New York residence of the late singer,
pending decision regarding the dis.
position of his estate. 1t has been re-
ported that the court here has de-
,ided to sequestrate all of Caruso's
until Mrs. Caruso's claims in
behalf of her daughter are adjusted
The district judge of this city, upon
'equest of Mrs. Caruso, has sealed the
apartment occupied by the dead tenor
n the Hotel Vesuvius. This step was
aiken to safeguard documents and
,ther effects.
1t is reported here that Caruso drew

state, according to Italian legal pro
'edure, TO his brother and two sons
afterward he was married in the
United States and the birth Of his
laughter, Gloria, brought a new ele-
nent into the situation. She, accord
ng to Italian law, is now the only
egal heir, except for a fraction of the
state which the law grants to the
widow.

OATS PRODUCE WELL
Mir, Valentine Attributes the Large
 Yield to Application Of Fertilizer.

Little Rock, May 30.-As an evil 5ence of what Arkansas farmers may do to produce more feedstuffs at home, E. Rast, agronomist of the Southern Soil Improvement Committee, who has offices with the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce, cites the case of Mark Valentine, well known planter Of the Galloway community:
 MT. Valentine planted spring oats for feed" says MT. Rast. "At first it appeared that these oats would be complete failure. After going over the field with J. . Pridemore of Shreveport we recommended an application of 300 pounds of fertilizer per acre contain tug nine per cent available phosphorlc acid, three per cent nitrogen and two Der cent potash This fertilizer was applied March 25."
 GDuring the past few weeks these cats made a wonderful improvement dllu grew SO NlSolOu0i Ihett AiA' o- entine decided to harvest them for hay The crop was cut May IT, just as most of the heads were in the dough stage l never saw such a large yields of oat lay removed from a field at one cut tlng, and I was pleased to learn that the crop made two tons of cured hay per acre.
 ''In addition to this large crop o1 oat hay MT. Valentine can now plant crop of COW peas and make another crop of hay which, without using any additional fertilizer, should yiel6 at least two tons per acre. After the peas are cut for hay he expects te ! plant alfalfa on the land. This croI always makes four cuttings of hay il one year and sometimes five cuttings are made in a single season. con- servative estimate is that this fielC will produce not less than four tons O. hay per acre each year for at leas three years in succession"

CAUGHT THE OIL FEVER
Little Rock People Find Oil Seeping
 From Banks of River.

Little Rock, May 27.-Little Rock has caught the oil fever. The dis covery of oil seepage in the river bank within the city limits a few days ago has produced mild sensation. There is still considerabye specula
 tion as to the origin of the oil, but there is no doubt as to it's genuineness. A large number of men who are famil- far with oil development have been on the grounds this week. Many lea ses are being taken and number or mass meetings have been held in which the situation has been discussed by oil experts, financiers and stock promoters. The statement was made definitely yesterday evening that with in a few days test wells will be start ed within a mile of the city limits. There have, during the past year, been at least four wells started in Pulaski county, but all of these have been at least temporarily abandoned. One man who has made a fortune in oil said yesterday that he would himself finance a proposition if no one else wished to join him as he had the ut- most confidence in the results.

MINISTER HELD FOR MURDER
The Rev. Hardin w. Hughes Accused
 of Complicity in Brutal Crime.

Mount Ida, May 27. The Rev. Hardin W. Hughes, aged 60 superan- nuated Northern Methodist minister, today was held to the Montgomery county grand jury for complicity in the murder on May of Mrs. Anna Me- Kennon at her home near Buckville, a short distance from here. Hughes bond was fixed at $2,000. Unable to furnish bond, he was returned to the Garland county jail at Hot Springs, where he has been kept since his re- capture Saturday night.
 Two important features were brought out at the hearing before Justice Ali Smith today. The prose- cution offered testimony to show that the killing occurred May 2, although it was week later before the body was found. The Rev. Hughes at the time Mrs. McKennon was murdered ! had a heavy growth of beard. Since then he has shaved.
 It also was brought out by Prose- cutting Attorney Bumpas that the Rev. MT Hughes wrote or telegraphed to | his son, Milo S. Hughes two or three i days after the woman's death, saying hl was ill, and asking the son to visit him. It was the theory of the state 1 that Hughes feared he would be &C., ] cuSpd of the crime and wanted his son to assist him.
 Hughes attorneys admitted that l their client wrote the note to Sheriff w. M. Crump of Montgomery county, which said "There was shooting at the McKennon home Saturday night" The note was scrawled on a piece of cardboard and was hardly legible. Testimony was offered to show that the Rev. Mr. Hughes is we'll educated and that his handwriting is good.
 Raymond Cole and Jim Taylor, wanted in connection with the mur- der of Mrs. McKennon, still are at large. Hughes, in interviews with newspaper men, has insisted that Cole killed the woman.
 Hughes was arrested two days after the womans body was found, but es- capped from local hotel the following night He was recaptured last Satur- day night in Garland county.

Idabel is sore at the representative in Oklahoma legislature, if they can learn his identity, who offered reso- lution appropriating $50O,000 for the construction of pipe line for the transportation of corn juice from that county to the balance of the state. They don't even consider it a good joke. They don't even admit that there is much made there, if any, and if there was, why should they pipe it out? All of these are things to be seriously considered, and we would suggest that meeting be held and ap- propriate resolutions passed putting the whole thing before the public.

Put in just enough to reserve the kick until it gets inside the victim. or else don't cut the time fuse so short.
