HOW CONWAY GOES
 AFTER THE BUSINESS

Another business firm of Conway is Sowing down" White coun- ty with large, attractive price lists of the every day commodities of life and at the same time using every available inch in their home news papers, to tell of the rare bargains to be obtained at their store during these war times. It is very little trade that Conway should secure from Searcy merchants; however, the matter rests entirely with Searcy merchants as to whether this condition shall obtain. If printers ink is a good investment for Faulkner county merchants in se- curing trade from White county it is certainly as good an investment for White county merchants in keeping White county money at home. Sounds reasonable doesn't it?-Searcy Citi- zen.

eration of bankers, merchants, land
 lords and business men generally in
 securing the planting of other crops and reduction of cotton acreage as
 indicated above.
 "It seems likely that the war in Flu
 rope will last for some time, possibly
 a year. Some of the countries that
 have been taking large quantities of cotton cannot buy any on account of the war. In some others, to which cotton might be shipped, and which have been taking large quantities in the past, the mills are in the war zone and cannot run. Even if the war were to stop within a year there would be unconsumed of this years crop probably from 30 to 35 or 40 per cent. It is obvious that if the same proportion of this years crop is car ried over to next year and a normal crop were produced next year, the price of cotton would certainly be low. But assurance that there will be large reduction in next years crop would not only help the situation next year, but would have a favorable re- action on the present price of cotton. It should be pointed out also, that in addition to our large domestic de- mand for foodstuffs, next year there will be larger demand from abroad, on account of the disarrangement of agriculture in the countries at war, and also on account of the need of large supplies for the armies. Our farmers should be brought to realize that they can not afford to raise all cotton and exchanged low priced cot ton for high-priced food products, and that at the same time they would probably realize better returns by in- creasing their production of food stuffs within reasonable limits, and that this action would, at leat, make them independent for subsistence.
 "The business interests should be reminded that the program outlined will not only be better one for the farmers, but better one for the busi- ness interests themselves, for the sim pie reason that bankers, merchants, landlords, professional men and the general business interests will pros per as the farmer prospers.

U. s. DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES POLICY BIG ACREAGE REDUCTION IN COTTON URGED IN IN STRUCTIONS TO COUNTY
 DEMONSTRATOR.

A diversifcation of crops and a re- duction of acreage is the doctrine which county farm demonstrators are instructed by the United States de- partment of agriculture to dissemi- nate throughout the south. County Demonstrator J. w. Earlier has just received the following letter announc- ing the policy of the department with reference to the present situation: "To All County Agents:
 "The department, in a letter of September 10, stated it's program to help the south grow food crops and thus reduce the acreage in cotton. As time passes it becomes more and more important that this plan be emphasiz- ed. Put all of your energy behind the gardens, corn, small grain, hay, poul- | try and hogs. Of course, we want to help out with the beef cattle, dairy ing and other lines of work, but those first mentioned are the important things for the support of the people
 "As matter of policy the depart ment is in favor of the following things:
 q. Of your devoting practically your entire time to other crops than cotton. Do not take demonstrations in cotton except such as have been promised as a part of demonstrations in rotation of crops.
 | "2. Devote your time to the prob lems of getting as many acres as pos sible planted in corn for food of the family, feed and forage for livestock, and some food crops for sale.
 "3. You may give it out as the judgment of the department of agri- culture that the cotton acreage should be reduced from 40 to 50 per cent in 1915. We are bending all the en- ergy of the department toward that end Give the widest publicity possi- ble to this fact

LIGHTING PLANT AT
 LITTLE ROCK MERGED
MERCHANTS COMPANY SUR RENDERS CHARTER AND DIS-
 POSES OF EQUIPMENT.

Little Rock, Oct. 24.-There is no longer any competition in commercial lighting in Little Rock. About two years ago franchise was granted by the city council to the Merchants Lighting Company, local corpora tion. A plant was put in and service provided for a large downtown pa- tronage. For a time there was a sharp competition between that and the old concern, the Little Rock Rail- way and Electric Company, but this finally vanished. Friday the final act occurred, when the Merchants Light ing Company surrendered its charter to the secretary of state, the surren- der being certified by Ed Cornish, president, and c. E. Rose, secretary.
 The physical property and assets of the Merchants Lighting Company were sold to Bertron- Griscom Co.,, bankers of New York, and in turn transferred ito D. H. Cantrell, the Little Rock attorney, who is of coun- sel for the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company. The property will be transferred by Mr.. Cantrell to the the railway company, which thereby becomes sole purveyor of commercial lighting in the city. It is stated that the franchise remains in the hands of the original grantee. The amount of the purchase price is not made public.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR
Saturday, October 21.

After days of incessant fighting, dents have at last been made in that part of the battle line which had run virtually straight north and south from Ypres, in Belgium, to the bend in the elbow in the vicinity of the for est of Aigne, in France. Just a short distance above it's center this line curves like an inverted letter "S," the allies having pushed back the Ger mans at the east of Armentieres in an endeavor to press on to Lille and the Germans having forced the allies to give ground around LaBassee, proba- ply hoping to obtain control of the Bethune, and an important railroad center, about seven miles due west from LaBassee. That ground has been won and lost in this district is admit ted in the latest French official report. It seems improbable, however, that either engagement was decisive, as the report declares that the actions near LaBassee and Armentieres near Arras, on the same line a short dis tance south of LaBassee, continue with great violence. In fact, the re- port says that generally speaking the situation on this part of the war front remains the same. Of the fighting near the coast, where British and French naval vessels are endeavoring to aid the allied troops in holding back the German advance, nothing was vouchsafed in the report.
 Altkirch, in Upper Alsace, a short distance from the Swiss frontier, has been taken by the French at a point of the bayonet. Since the outbreak of the war this town has been the scene of much fighting and several times has changed hands.
 Petrograd claims the Germans con- tinue to retreat and that the forces of Emperor Nicholas have crossed the Vistula without resistance. The Aus trians are given credit in the Russian report for continuing to fight stub bornly on the Vistula, on the San and south of Przemysl No reports were received from Germany or Austria and Servia likewise was silent regard ing the operations in the south.
 President Wilson has approved the demands of the state department on Great Britain for the release of the steamers Platuria and Brindilla. The president took the position that every right of American shipping must be protected

Pinklets, the new laxative pills, do
not wear out their effect before &C
complishing their work OF correcting

stimulate the bowels to over exertion.
They assist nature so gently that the
action is regular and thorough, yet
without gripping. Pinklets put the
liver, stomach and bowels ir har-
monious, perfect working order.
A short trial of Pinklets will con-
vince you that they are the ideal laxa-

you with Pinklets at % cents per bot
