There are two things which ne mer
chant can afford to do.
lst-To allow his stock to deterio-
rate
2nd To allow the public to forget
him
Little Rock merchants state that
they are enjoying the best out-of-town
trade they have had in years, and free
" attribute the cause to the fact that
the so-called country merchants are
letting their stocks run down, and are
'economizing' to such an extent that
they are driving their customers to the
necessity of mail order and out-oftown
shopping. Several instances OF this
y ind have come under our observation
ZEN Dermott.
sTra The city merchants Cas opposed to
uggesne small town merchants) and the
: Tail order houses are keeping up their
ortocks and are continually reminding
the public Of this TACT.
We need to be reminded quite as
much as we need to be informed.
Memory has been joeularly described
as the thing with which we forget. ard
any merchant who relies on the mer-
DRY of he public Ie4ns on broken
reed.
1t is poor business vision which fails
to see the principal feeder OF business,
and fatal judgment which cuts it off or
interrupts its flow Any course which
shoves your customer from you or lets
your customer forget you is ruinous.
Economies may be warranted, but they
can better be effected in any other dc
partment than thel sales department
the department of revenue.
The absence of advertising has been
the beginning of the end for many a
firm. The man with the orders needs
to be constantly sought. Advertising
Is the great ulscoVerer OF new custom
ers. the great retainer of old ones
If you forget the public. the public
will forget you. Have what the people
want advertise what you have, and
have what you advertise.
Business may be slack. but there Is
business. and If you are not getting
your share. MIR Merchant. it is no
body's fault but your own.

BEST LETTERS SOME GUNNERs

JOE JACKSON! The name inspires
 the sh1vers in American league pitchers. It inspires enthusiasm in the American league fan.
 Some sweet hitter. that boy" says the fan.
 When Connie Mack first plueked Joe from the bushes he wasn't exactly a green lemon, but he wasn't ripe for high baseball society. As now called, he had two faults; he didn't wear socks and he was troubled with homesickness. No one thought Connie would have fired him because of his dislike for hose but an attack of homesickness caused him to desert. and a deserter is looked upon with about the same favor in big league baseball as he is in the army
 After Joe recovered from Bakerftis (new name for aversion to wandering from ones own fresfdel, he spent a season in New Orleans, where he made Southern league pitchers life so mis- erabIe they induced MT. Somers to yank Joe back into the American league again and Cleveland has doniciled the sockless sockadolger ever since. He has been about half the Cleveland team the last two years. the other half wears socks, doesn't get homesick and is very

docile and inoffensfve to the other seven clubs in the league.
 It takes a keen eye and steady nerves to run second to the wonderful Ty Cobb for league batting honors- Joe Jackson has done that several times.
 There's a reason.
 Joe says: Next to baseball give me shotgun. In the field or at the traps find great enjoyment in it's use"
 Get the idea, MT. Wood B. Slugg CT /? It. doesn't pay for a ball player to allow his eye to become dim and his nerves unstrung by winter of idleness. Shooting keeps eyes in trim. nerves taut, muscles firm.
 Ty Cobb is a trapshooter and good one; so is Speaker Chief Bender won his own game recently with a two base Diff; he spent most of his spare time all last winter trapshooting. Bender is some shooter too. Got twenty-five straight one time and twenty-two is easy for him.
 If the worlds series winners will in vest some of their easy money this fall in shotguns and will use them through out the winter I'll bet on them to re- peat next year. I'll also bet Joe Jack son is the only trapshooter on the Cleveland team.

BASEBALL TERMS AS DESCRIBED BY
 AUSTRALIANS

THE following description of base
 ball game, played recently in Aus tralia between native and American resident hines, gives an excellent idea of Antipodean baseball vernacular:
 "'The Americans mounted the box first, sending Mare to face the attack. The. pitcher treated him with respect. allowing him to walk to first Casey followed, and Hearnden's error ena bled him to reach second in safety. Caswell then threw wildly at first bag, and be- fore the ball was recovered Marre and Casey had sprinted across the plate Tucker meanwhile had made good on the diamond, but Bragg's fiy,s which was muffed, gave the f1eldsman an op- iportunity of cutting the runner off at third. Bragg consequent1y scored on Browns hit to the country, making three runs for the innings.
 Australia sent Hearnden to the box first, but a put out at first base was registered Comber followed, and Mares bad throw saw him safely landed at first Colby then came with brilliant hit right out to left field, bringing Comber home Spiller, who had been missed by the catcher made his way to third, and a passed ball completed the distance for him.
 'tIn the next term America could not get off the box, and then Australia made a determined effort to draw level in the succeeding term. Hearnden bril- iiantly smashed to the left garden for a two bagger. and a passed ball sent him on to third. Another passed ball completed. the journey for him, and the scores read all. SpiIler was in- dulging in daring pilfering on the dia- mond and well judged steal gave him. second base, from where he was sent flying across the plate on GoIby's clout, which Casey allowed to get past. Colby had reached third when Lam bert went in to bat, and the Leichart player brought him home on a fine oI1tfield hit, which produced two bags. Caswen then brought Lambert home making four runs for the session.

Manager Fred Clarke contented

FIRED CLARKE, the Pittsburgh Pi-
 rates manager, is a contented manager. He believes that he is in position to command the envy of every other leader in the big leagues. "You see, nobody expects much of us," re- marked Clarke recently, }tso how can we prove a disappointment? So far I'm entirely satisfied with the showing of my team. No, think I ought to say that I'm more than satisfied. The club has exceeded my expectations. I think we'll surprise every one before we're trough
 Asked for his opinion of the compara- tive merits of the eastern teams, Clarke said that so far as he could see the Braves, the Phillies and the Giants were about equal in strength. ''Of course everybody knows the Giants

Fred r1erkle There With the Noodle

SPEAKING of minds, Fred Merkle, v the New York Nationals first base man, has one. His is probably the best in baseball. The man who has been .eboneheaded' all over the circuit as the result of one unlucky break has a greater store of assorted knowledge than any player in the game.
 A stray copy of Schopenhauer was found lying on a chair in the lobby of the Arlington hotel at Marlin the past spring, and when the book was opened the fly leaf revealed the name Fred Merkle. The big first baseman's read ing is about as heavy as some of those long drives of his.
 Next to philosophy, he prefers eco norntcs and simply wa1lows in Adam

won't finish last" he declared. '-I think McGraw has a stronger team than he had last year. The Phil1ies may be only flash in the pan, but Pat Moran certainly has his men hus- ting. The problem of the Braves is pitching. I think Sta1llngs will have a mighty hard job to win another pen nant, but he may get just the work he needs from his pitchers when the warm weather sets i1l.''
 Clarke expressed himself as greatly pleased at the enthusiasm which the fans all over the circuit were showing over Wagner. Hes just as good as he ever was,'' declared the manager of the Pirates. Does he cover as much ground? Well, maybe not quite as much. Possibly he's lost half an inch of his range on either side.''

 A study of the records from 1886 to 1915 shows that in this period of forty nine years the mile record made either in competition or against time has been reduced from 2:217z to 1855, a gain of 261z seconds.

DOCTOR CHEATHAM'S
RESIDENCE is ROBBED
Clothing and Jewelry Worth Two
Hundred Dollars We're Taken.


The Macon Telegraph says that
burglars gained an entrance into the
residence of DR. T. A. Cheatham Fri
day night and got away with jewelry
and clothing valued at $500. The loss
was discovered early Saturday morn
ing, when Walter Cheatham went to
the home after some articles and
found them missing.
The Cheatham family is spending
the winter at their home in Jones
county and had left the house locked.
On investigation it was found that
some one had forced an entrance
through a window.
The house was ransacked and sew
eral suits of clothing, jewelry and
other articles were taken. Tt appear
ed that the burglars used chisel in
pricing open the drawers of the fur
niture and everything was left in a
state of confusion.

RECORD OF HOG
CHOLERA SERUM
Ninety-Five Per Cent of Swine Treat
ed i'm Georgia Have Been Saved.
Some Figures.

Reports recently collected show
that 95 per cent of the hogs treated
with hog cholera serum in Georgia
by the farm demonstration agents
have been saved from the disease.
No records other than those of the
farm demonstration agents have been
received, but a good many more hogs
were treated than the number attend
ed by these agents, whose reports are
made to the agricultural college.
The actual figures are as follows;
Number of herds of hogs treated by
the demonstration agents in Georgia
1912; hogs died before treatment
40: hogs sick when treated 447;
total sick and we'll hogs treated
6,629; died after treatment 1856.
Percentage lost 500. Percentage
saved 94.91.
The serum used was made by the
state at the college of agriculture
and sent out through the office of the
state veterinarian at Atlanta, and
reached the farmers at cost of manu-
facture. On account of the increased
demand for the serum and the eonse-
duent cheapening of cost of produc-
ton it is now offered at 10 per cent
less than it was during the year 1914.

Bland, of Kansas City, to be United
States marshal for the Western Mis-
souri, district. Bland was given a re-
cess appointment to the marshalship.
