More Planning.

"Those are cheap" said the salesman
quickly "only fifteen shillings each"
I'm not sure ! can afford so much"
said Philip, hesitatingly, for the rug
alone cost one pound six shillings.
They're a rare bargain-real leather
they were never made under three
pounds each"
''Oh, very well. I will take them"
He produced three pounds, got his
change and walked away with his goods
without causing any wonderment. The
shOpman was only too glad to have
such a customer at that late hour.
Philip now knew that he was fairly
safe, but he decided that a derby hat
gave him a more mature appearance
than a cap. This alteration being eff
fected, he hurried off to Johnson's News
and re-entered his domcile without In
cident worthy Of note.
Very quickly. with the help Of drug
get scissors and Irvine, the two small
trunks were packed with pieces OF the
meteor and the paper covered parcels
already prepared. When each bag
weighed 40 pounds he stuffed the re-
naming space with rolled-up newspa-
pers, closed and locked them He es-
timated that three larger leather bags

COMPANY CONTINUES
 TO DO BUSINESS

Little Rock, Aug. 16. 6.-Despite the fact that the Farmers Union IS making fight on the South ern States Cotton Company, which has been buying contracts with the Arkansas farmers, agreeing to pay 15 cents per pound for all delivered, the com pany will still continue to do business in Arkansas.
 Ben L. Griffin, representa- tive of the company, states there has been 10000 bales bought in Arkansas already, and many thousand more will be purchased Attorney General Moose has ren- dered an opinion stating the com pany cannot be kept from doing business under the Blue Sky law, and has compiled with the state laws regulating corpora tions, Griffin states the compa, ny made good all it's contracts in Texas last year, after purchasing over 3,000,000 bales of cotton when the market only showed 10 cents, and will do the same iu Arkansas. He intimates that foreign capital is behind the cor poration, which is an Alabama concern. He claims the farmer who sells his cotton to this com pany, runs no more risk thar the one who sells it to a merch. ant, for it is placed in a bonded warehouse until sold.

ANOTHER OPINION OF
 ATTORNEY GENERAL

Little Rock, Aug. 16.-Geo. B. Cook, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has request ed Attorney General W.L. Moose for an opinion on the power of commissioners of special i'm. provement district, to collect street improvement taxes from the Medical Department of the University of Arkansas.
 Several years ago the medical college, which was then private institution, deeded it's property to the State, and became a part of the University of Arkansas, and under the control of the Board of Trustees of that insti- tuition. State property is not supposed to be taxed, but the college property, on Second and Sherman streets, is an improve. ment tor the paving of East Sec. ond Street. A leading firm of Little Rock attorneys declares the state must pay improvement taxes on this property, but Supt. Cook, who is member of the Board of Trustees of the Univer. sity, doubts it, and has appeale q for an official opinion.

Posters Being Torn Up

The Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union has gone to the trouble and expense to have posters put up on the streets that those who run may read" and learn the truths concerning alcohol and other narcotics. At first, these posters were not molested, but for the last week or two some vandal hand des- troys them in less than a day af- ter being put up.
 We, therefore, appeal to the officers of the town to protect us in this matter. Other towns, cities and nations are having these posters placed at their own expense; the women of Prescott are doing this at their own expense; cannot something be done to stay this destruction.

A town, to be good" town, must have good stores-stores that handle large assortments and offer the same. values and styles at the same prices asked elsewhere.
 Good local shopping facilities, however, depend entirely upon the extent of patronage accorded merchants by community con- SumerS.
 Those who live in the smaller towns often say they are forced to shop elsewhere, because their local stores do not carry the specific articles they want. If these people would make their wants known to their home mer- chants, in nearly every case, these merchants would supply them.
 Bear in mind that a portion of every dollar spent in your local stores applies to the building and maintenance of your schools churches, good roads, streets and sidewalks-in fact, every i'm provement that goes to make your community attractive from every commercial and socia standpoint.
The Prescott daily news., 1913-08-16

If you have children to edu- cate; if you are interested in re- ligious matters; if you own a home or other property in your community, you should patronize your local merchants whenever practicable. It is to your inter- est to do this.
 Of course there are merchants in every town who will not carry standard lines and who expec their customers to buy their un- known goods at standard prices; however, there are progressive merchants in every locality who handle brands that are sold everywhere at uniform prices, whose quality is known to all who read and keep up with the times.
 Trademarked Advertised mer- chandise always offers maximum values and can be secured in smallest towns to as good advan- tage as elsewhere.
 No manufacturer will put his name and trademark on an arti- cle and then spend large sums of money advertising it unless his goods come up to his claims in levery respect.
