PAGE EDUCATION !
BILL IS ADOPTED
Senate Approves 1t as Substi-
tute for Lever-Smith
Measure.

Washington, January 29.-The Page
vocational educational bill. authorizing
maximum appropriations of over sl4.-
600 900 for agricultural and trade edu-
cational work was adopted By the
Senate to-day as substitute for the
Lever-Smith bill. which has passed the
House. A tight extending over many
days in which both sides of the Senate
has been divided, ended when a motion
by Senator Page to substitute his
original for the Lever bill was carried
by vote of 81 TO 80.
The measure then passed the Senate
and will go to the House and ultimately
into a conference committee. The
original House bill appropriated tho
maximum sum of approximately 50 .5oo.-
600 for the establishments of extension
departments in the State agricultural
colleges through which instruction in
agricultural and home economies would
be carried into the homes of the farmers
The Page bill would establish courses
OF instruction In trades and industrys
home economics and agriculture in the
various public schools of secondary
grade: provide for State agricultural
schools. testing and plant breeding
stations, the education of teachers, and
general extension work
Senators Page and Hoke Smith
became involved in sharp controversy
during the debate. Senator Page in
timating that Senator Smith had given
assurances that he would support
Senator Pages bill In revised form.
This Senator Smith denied. Senator
Page finally withdrew an amended
form of his bill which included practt-
cally the House bill and the Senate
then adopted the original Page bill.
It is believed that as a result OF the
action of the Senate to-day the agri-
cultural education measure may remain
in controversy between the two houses
when tho persent session ends.

MT. Prospective:
 Builder

For 16 years the Valley Flaming Mill Com pany has paid its taxes, large ones, too, has paid the Business Mems League Dues, has donated lberally to good roads funds, has subscribed $50000 to the railroad, has endorsed along with many others, the State Fair Association notes, besides contributing liberaly to that insti- tuition each year. We have on our payrolls, di- rectly, about 125 men, and indirectly, 50 to 75 others operating sawmills in the country. These men all live in, and support, Hot Springs. We have always helped out when public spirit and enterprise has been needed
 We want to put fair proposition up to you You will be building before long. You will be let ting contracts for the erection of your residence or business house. Why not specify in your con- tracts that all materials used in that construction shall be bought from local merchants? We are selling our materials cheaper than any out-of- town concerns still there seems to be a tendency for the local men to prefer to buy from the for eign man than from the one that has stood by the ship through many hard years.
 Our weekly payroll is something like $1,- 500.00 to $1,700,00. This money is all turned loose in this city When your contractor bus out of town that money does not help your local business houses. Our prices are lower in every instance than those of any competitor, workman ship, material, and quality taken into considera- tion, and these being facts, we feel that you can afford to require these things without additional expense to you, and at the same time, you are supporting HOME INDUSTRY.

To Union Carpenters

The Valley Flaming Mill Company has been a friend of yours for years and years. We have upheld the Union scale in our shop department when work was so scarce that that department lost money continually We are paying higher wages, we are working shorter hours, than any shop in the state. We are furnishing honest made materials with union labor
 Almost every day there is being shipped into Hot Springs mlwork, etc. that is being made in ten-hour shops by cheap labor. Are you going to stand by those that have stood by you in the past?
 From this day on, every piece of mill work that leaves our shop will bear Union label when you work our stuff you will know you are supporting your own fellow members, and their families, and not supporting an open shop. You would refuse to work on job with non-Union l. tor. Can you conscientousy work on one where you are using materials that are in competition with your own unonized shop? You are partcu- lar about your hats clothes etc., as to their bear ing label exercise the same consideration for your fellow members who working for us.

Heart to Heart Talk That Means Money
MT. Contractor

We figured set of plans this week for cer- tain man (we will call him Mr Contractor) ac- cording to plans and specifications. We made a blanket bid, to complete the job in first class workmanlike manner, furnishing everything needed. Our bid was $33O0O Mr. Contractor declared we were too high by S10OO0, that man from Louisiana had figured the plans, and had agreed to furnish the job for better than hun dred dollars less than our bid We wanted that business and so we went after Mir. Contractor. We knew we had figured everything as cheap as possible, considering what we agreed to furnish, and we also knew having been in the business a long time, that an out of town concern invariably furnishes a list of the materials he proposes to furnish, even though the contractor thinks the furnisher agrees to complete the job. Also, at the top of that mans estimate sheet are the words Ve agree to furnish Only the items listed beIOa0.
 We went after MT. Contractor, telling him these things, and finally got him to let us figure the same list of material that the other man had listed, and proposed to furnish for so much less. We didn't see the Louisiana mans figure, didn't want to, but when we had figured the same list our price $20600, and the other mans S218.00 or $12.00 more than ours, to which must be added the expense of drayage, which would be about ten to fifteen dollars. And besides that, we deliver the goods the contractor needs thel, the other man ships it all FOB. cars and the con- tractor has got to deliver and take care of it, whether he has his roof on or not.
 When you ask us to figure your plans, we fig ufe them, ana when you ask Tor the amount, We tell you, but we do not submit list. We say, WE WILL FURNISH THE JOB COMPLETE, FOR so MUCH DELIVERED AS YOU NEED THE MATERIALS.' The Louisiana, Pine Bluff, Little Rock, or Memphis men figure the plans and submit a list, telling you that it is complete, BUT THEY WON'T AGREE TO FURNISH ANY MORE THAN IS LISTED IN THE SHEET THEY GIVE YOU.
 We are here for business, and item for item, can furnish your lumber, milwork, sash, doors, and builders hardware cheaper than any con- petitor that we have, and only ask you for fair ''break" at your business. When the fire came expected a much greater lumber demand 4han has developed and we have on hand right now at least three million feet of lumber stacked at our local yard and at least half million feet more in the country at our mills, drying.
 We are equipped to handle your business. We have the stock we lhave as up-to-date machinery as any mill in the country, and we are anxious to have your business. We are nowhere near up to capacity and in order to move the large stock that we have on hand, we are making exceptionally low prices lumber We want you to feel that you can buy as cheap or cheaper here than any place else, and get equally as good lumber at the same time

INAUGURATED A new PRACTICE.

The Pennsylvania Railroad on Novem
Der lst inaugurated a new practice
which is designed to eliminate the incon.
veniences that arise from passengers
surrendering their mileage books to Pull.
man conductors overnight. The new
plan is this Anyone intending to ride
on a Pennsylvania Railroad train over
night and who owns a book of mileage
coupons good on the Pennsylvania Rail
road can, if desired, take the mileage
book to a ticket Office and exchange the
required number of miles for a regular
ticket In this way a passenger will
get the benefit of the low mileage rate,
he will have his mileage coupons can
celled in his presence, and viii receive
a regular ticket for his transportation
on the railroad. The new rule will at
first be put into effect only at Pennsyl-
vania Station, Pittsburg, and at East
Liberty Station. If it proves a conven-
ience, and is found to be satisfactory to
the patrons of the railroad, consideration
will be given to extending it to other
stations out Of which there is heavy
night travel.
