at maller prices.
 A merchant wouldn't expect one of his travelling salesmen to get orders for goods his competitor is selling TOT less money; nor would le expect his travelling salesman to create and hold trade unless he called upon his pros spectiye customers at frequent inter yals. Some merchants expect more from newspaper advertisement than they do from $150 per month salesman. s 4 4aAl
 The mail order house spends thous- ands in issuing catalogs, most ot which remain constantly in the homes to which tttey are sent. There they are constant reminders of the mail order house. If it is country home, more than likely the catalog will be taken from the shelf after supper during the winter evening, and sons and daughters will begin to point out to mama and papa things that are needed. And this is so cheap, too," more than likely will be the verdict. Of course the children and the parents do not realize they cannot judge an article from mail order house cata- log description. But, anyway, the chances are nine to one that an order will go from that house.
 The small city and town merchant cannot issue one of these big cata- logs, but he can do better, and for less money. He can reach these peo- pie through the daily newspapers. Everybody in the family reads the newspaper, and by having in the paper an attractive advertisement, presenting reasonable goods at reas- onable prices, the merchant can in terest them to the point of visiting the store.
 With the prospect at the store, the salesman or saleswoman, the goods and the price must effect the sale.
 If you don't believe this is true, MT. P. B. Merchant, try series of we'll prepared ads in The Graphic. And when you make the test, take the trouble to give your sales force few pointers in salesmanship. There's trade deliberately walking out of Pine Bluff atores right now because the sales people aren't onto, their jobs. And The Graphic is in position to say that this trade was attracted to these store through Graphic advertising.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
 ST. JOHN.


 CHAPTER IS. -.
 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disci- pies over the brook Cedron. where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
 2. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft times resorted thither with his disci- pies.
 3. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
 4. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye
 5. They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, l am he. And Judas also, which betray. ed him, stood with them.
 G. As soon then as he had said unto them, l am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
 z. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
 8. Jesus answered, I have told you that am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
 9. That the saying might be rul- filled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have l lost none.
 10. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priests servant, and cut off his right ear. The servants name was Nal chus. Mx
 Il. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall not drink it?
 12. Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him,
 13. And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Gaia phas, which was the high priest that same year.
 IA. Now sCaiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
 15. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known uto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
 16. But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door; and brought in Peter
 1T. Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this mans disciples? He saith, I am not.
 IS. And the servants and officers stood there, who had made fire Of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
 19. The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doc Urine.
 20. Jesus answered him, spake openly to the world: I ever taught m the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and

INCREASE USE OF COTTON.

"Why should not cotton itself be bailed in cotton cloth ?. asks Southern Wholesale Grocers' association in a circular letter urging the wholesalers of the country to cooperate in the movement to increase the consump- tion of cotton. This is pertinent question, and one the South should soon answer in way to denote that it is willing to practice the policy of using homegrown goods in prefer ence to imported bagging material.
 The Southern Wholesale Grocers' association, however, does not stop with the propounding of the query. It points out that there are produced annually in this country 5 billion, 67O million bushels of grain, and that if half of this quantity was put into cotton sacks it would utilize 1 billion, 47O million 2-bushel cotton sacks, weighing approximately, ? pounds each, or , million, 66S thousand bales of cotton-more than one-third of this years crop.
 Pointing out that this does not in- clude sacks for rice, peas. beans, peanuts, potatoes, onions and produce of all kinds, which would bring the amount of cotton utilized to a point where there'd be no surplus, even with 15 million bale crop and a war in Europe, the grocers' association asks another question: "Why should we import a cloth or wrapping in which to market our own produc- tion?" and enjoins the wholesalers to write on each order, Please ship this order ill cotton bags"
 This is the practical way to in- crease the consumption of cotton. If the people will demand cotton goods; will require that grain, etc., be pack ed in cotton the South will never again experience trouble in disposing of it's chief product.

SELLING CODES.

The Editor and Publisher states that Middle Western mail order con- osrn CcAsls.s of a numDer or people who have united their resources into corporation which has 9 capital Of s5S,OOO, ,O0O; that in 1913 it did a busl- ness of $91,375,000, and that in the first four months of this year it's business showed an increase of $2,- 449, ,OOO over the same period last year, the total for the first four months of this year being $41.S0S,O00.
 "Where has that business come from?" asks the Editor and Publisher, and then answers its own question:
 'It has come from the small store keepers and people engaged in mod orate-sized business all over the United States"
 And why has this concern been able to sell $41,S0S,OO0 worth of goods in four months, when theEe are stores throughout the country ready to serve the peorle sending their money to the house of these strangers? Isn't it be- cause the mail order concern creat- ed the impression by letters and cata- logs that it desired this business, and 10 get it made special inducements to the extent of exaggerating the value of the goods?
 The small storekeepers" cannot afford, perhaps, to issue 200O page catalogs, nor make promises they cannot fulfill, because they haven't s5S 100000 back of them and for the further reason that they are in the midst of their customers and they would be quickly condemned for any misstatements. But the merchants of the small cities and towns can extend their invitatiOns to tine trade through the newspapers, and if they will de- vote the same attention to preparing their advertisements that the mail order house does to it's catalog, NIACy Fl nlOI l1uu IL ACCCoooAy tO SA- aggerate nor make ridiculous prom ises in order to get some of these 100 millions of dollars now flowing toward this one mail order house.
 Many merchants put an ad in a papsr occasionally, giving no thought to its preparation nor the season ablcness of the goods advertised They run this ad once or twice, and then quit, expecting it to sell goods even though the prospective pur- chaser is given a slap in the face by the salesman at the front door of the establishment and even though another merchant in another town is advertising regularly the same goods

 The Hawke is the British cruiser which collided with the White Star line steamer Olympic September 20, 1911, near Osborne bay, on the north side of the Isle of Wight. She re- ceived serious damage.
 The British cruiser Hawke was of 1850 tons displacement. She was 360 feet long, of 50 feet beam and drew 23 feet of water She was a sister ship of the Edgar, .Endymion, Graf ton, Theseus and Gibraltar, and was launched in 1891.
 The cruisers armament consisted of two 9.2 inch guns; ten six-inch, 12 six-pOunders, fiyo three-pounders, two machine guns and two torpedo tubes. Her complement is given as 544 men, bue sine likely had fewer on board when she went down.
 Britain Loses Six Ships.
 The Hawke was commanded by Capt. Hugh P. D. T. Williams, and among her officers were Commander Bernard A. Pratt Barlow and Lieu t-COmmander Robert R. Ros- man.
 This disaster to the Hawke follows about three weeks the sinking in the North sea of the British cruisers AbOukir. Hogue and Cressy. These vessels succumbed to the attack of German submarine and with them
