Will Permit
Increase in
Flour Price

WASHINGTON Leaders Of the
baking industry said privately
Wednesday that the Fovernment's
order prohibiting certain bakers
practiees-inclnding the sale OF
sliced bread-to absorb an increase
in the price Of flour would not
eliminate pressure for higher re-
tail ceiling prices on bread.
Their statement came after the
government authorized an average
10 per cent increase in flour prices
and banned certain baking prac-
tees which Secretary Of Agrcul-
ture Claude r. Wickard Is conf
dent will reduce baking costs and
prevent increased bread prices.
Bakers representatives said,
however. that the prohibited prao-
tees were not the chief cause Of
the pressure for higher bread
prices. They asserted privately
that whatever savings sre achieved
by them would be negated by the
steady increase in the price Of
edible fats and other products used
in bread making.
EFFECTIVE JAN.
The flour increase. effective on
Jan. 4. 1913, was ordered by the
Office of Price Administration in
the establishment Of specific dol

Red Caps To Meet
Memphis Here Sunday
Promises To
Be Red Hot
Meeting
BY G.. Porter


The strong Jacksonville Red
Caps will meet the Memphis Red
Sox at the League Park here on
Sunday June the 7th in a double
eader bill. The Red Caps have
appeared here before and are fav-
orite among the fans of Little
Rock.
On the strong Red Caps team is
Preacher Henry a right handler
who breaches to the batters with
his curve balls and drops and that
fast ball which is 50 hard to hit.
Lamar at short stop is rated
along with the best and his ability
to fell grounders makes him a
very valuable man in the infield.
Canady at first base has played
here before and he is also fast and
can handle the first sack well.
Eugene Smith who was obtained
in a trade with the Buckeyes base
ball club is also ready on the
hot corner third base. Smith is a
good hitter and can hold his own
any time.
Duke Cleveland one of the
hest hitters In the league will be
found out in the right field, along
with McLaurin who will hold
down the center territory, and
Pagan, a Memphis boy will be in
the left corner and Royal will do
the ba~ckstopping.

A while back, when the Mon

white fans sat besides Negroes
with apparent indifference to race
or color. 1t seems, however, that
a large number Of whites object to
sitting besides Negroes at "white'

games, The reason may be in that
the whites own Rupert field,

Judas Trees Are

Springtine
Chinese Redbud
Variety Hardy
In This Area
Bv 4. G.. Mclean.

The Eastern redbud or Judas tree
Cercis canadenss, was once abun-
dant in this area, but it has now all
but disappeared. In the foothills OF
Virginia and other States of the At
lantic seaboard the margins Of the
woodlands are bright in April with
the rosy-purple, pealike flowers
which crowd the stems of the plants.
Judas tree is member of the pea
family. The interesting flowers which
precede the leaves appear to spring
directly out of the bark, and they
are followed by fiat pods In clusters.
The rather handsome, roundish
leaves make an attractive mass Of
foliage in summer. The plant can
be trained in the shape of a small
tree, and 1t has been known to grow
as high as 40 feet; 1t can be grown
in bush form, too. Generally the
branches are upright and rather
stiff. Judas tree grows very well on
rather poor soil that is not too
sandy. and it can be purchased from
most nurseries.
There is a white -fiowering form
which is rather rare, but Of the sew
eral other species there is only one,
Chinese redbud &C. chinensis) reli-
ably hardy In our climate.
All Of the redbuds or Judas trees
are well worth planting. They are
among the most effective Of the
early spring blooming shrubs. In
cidentally, any Of the pea shrubs are
good garden material, we'll adapted
to rather poor soil conditions be-
cause of their ability to gather their
own nitrogen from the air by means
of root bacteria. AS q matter Of fact,
these shrubs bloom more profusely
if they are not fertilized too heavily.
Gardeners who are fond Of the
pea shaped flowers will find some
of the shrubby legumes worth con-
sidering. These include Robinia his
pida, Roseacacia locust: the brooms,
Cytissus species; Caragana arbores-
Gems, Siberian pea trees; Colutea ar
borescens or G. media, Bladdersenna
and several others. Do not ask for
them by their common names; 1t is
better to learn their botanical names
and be sure of getting what you
want.
