opened at all. Churches re
i mained closed on Sundays. Au
tomobiles wheezed along de
serted streets or stuck up in
snow-drifts. Office forces
{shivered around disappearing
; gas stoves in down-town offic
es. and then trudged home
through the snow to shiver.
Everyting seemed to bear out
j the plaint of the pessimist that
jthe world was out of joint any
how.
A majority of the people of
Little Rock depend on natural
gas from Louisana for heating
and cooking, and in a season
like this the pressure is too low
to supply the gretly increased
demand, even with the indus
trials shut off.
The gas company has been
advising the people to put in an
emergency supply of other
fuel, but few of them did so,
and anyway, coal and wood
are abotit as difficult to get as
gas, and the prices are beyond
the reach of the poor uan.
What is the answer?
There has been much suffer
ing among the poor people of
the city who are unable to se
cure fuel. Many have actu
ally been forced to go to bed to
keep warm.
The people are not prepared
for such weather.
Arkansas is one of the great
est coal and timber states of
the Union, and there is enough
wood rotting within five miles
of the city to supply all the
fuel needed for everybody.
But there is nobody to cut it
and no way to deliver it.
So in the midst of plenty we
suffer, and take out our spite
on the gas company, the coal
dealers, the street railways and
the city administration.

' HOUSE DESTROYED
Ten Thousand Dollars Worth
Groceries, Auto Truck and
Four Mules Burn
Searcy, Jan. 16.—The large
warehouse owned by the Mer
chant’s Grocery Company was
turned this morning at 5 o’
clock. The fire was not dis
covered until the building,
which is a block long, was
doomed. Indications point
very strongly to incendiarism.
The loss of merchandise is es
timated at $10,000 to $15,000
.with no insurance.
A large auto truck valued at
$3,500 was burned. Four
mules valued at $300 each
were lost. Two were burned
to death and the other two
so badly injured that they were
shot. The two injured animals
tore their way out of the cor
rugated iron building.
A heavy snow was falling
when the fire occurred and as
there was no wind probably
saved other business houses in
the same block including the
People’s Bank and the McEl
wee Garage.
Three snows and heavy
sleet that have fallen in the
past six days made the fire
hose almost useless. It was the
most disastrous fire that has
occurred here for several years
The explosion of a large quan
tity of ammunition and gaso
line added to the damage and
excitement.

LINTLESS
You pay more for the old style hulls because you are
paying for about a pound of lint to every three pounds
of hulls.
You pay less for Buckeye Hulls because you pay only
for hulls. The lint is sold separately.
Other Advantages
Buckeye Hulls are 100 per cent

They do not contain lint which
has no food value.
Every pound goes farther.
They allow better assimilation
of other food.
No trash or dust.
You get 2000 lbs. of real rough- Sacked—easy to handle.
age to the ton—not 1500. They mix well with other forage.
R. S. Parkham, Greenville, Ga., says:
“1 feed about fifty cows and calves and use Buckeye Hulls
very successfully. I consider Buckeye Hulls as good feed
and cheaper feed than the old style hulls."
To secure the best results end to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot he done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
