chase price. The merchant is now selling them at their market value
 oday, and. as a consequence his profit is long one The manufacturer ana jobber is the one who must absorb the loss this year, and he is sitting back and taking his medicine without whimper.
 In time to come the merchant is going to buy futures again, and the market is going the other way. The goods when they reach him will be worth less than they were at the time he bought. This will cause some lit tie i'll feeling on the part of some, who will seek to elude responsibility for the order, so they may enter the market and buy at the prevailing prices. When the merchant finds himself in such a condition he should full dose of memory taplets--let his mind run back to the present period, when he made big money through the wholesalers and manufacturers deliy- ering goods at the short prices.
 The merchants who trade with Lit tie Rock should appreciate all the more the full deliveries which are be- ing made by local jobbers and manu- lecturers. Such deliveries are not being made to them, and retailers over the state who are so unfortu- nate as to have purchased from for eign markets find themselves in a sim liar condition. When the jobbers of the foreign market finds himself short on goods, he forgets any obligation he might have to a retailer in far away Arkansas, and if he ships him anything it is only portion of his order. This prevents him from hay ing a full line and also to express great gobs of pity for himself when he sees the splendid treatment afford ed their customers by the Little Rock jobbers and manufacturers.
 Themselves unable to get over 50 per cent of the goods purchased for fall delivery, the jobbers of Little Rock are buying elsewhere and at prevailing prices, in order to keep their stocks up, and the merchandise so bought is sent out to their GUS toners at the future prices which were made to them. Appreciation is a long word, and the retail merchant trading from Little Rock should give 1t plenty of room in their memory

COUNTY FAIRS BLAZE TRAIL

Most of the Arkansas counties are this year holding fairs of some sort, and with the exception of some in East Arkansas, the attendance IS large, and the benefits large. These fairs are trail blazers, for they point the way to better farming and better farming methods.
 Over in East Arkansas the plant CTS are too busy with their cotton picking, and the merchants too busy handling the cotton and selling goods to attend the fairs, so that they are being meagerly patronized at the gate, but they have the backing of all who cannot attend, and the agricultural and stock displays show that the farm CTS have had busy, as we'll as profit able, year. For this reason the fairs are success, even though the at tendance is light, for the farmers have the knowledge that they accom- plished something, and the award at the fair will encourage them to do a little better next year
 Everything that increases the pro ductiveness of the farm--the founda- tion stone of prosperity-swells the business of the retailer, the mann facturer, the jobber. and everyone in the nation, for they are all dependent upon the farm
 Encourage the fairs in every way by your presence, as well as by your dollars.

This is the year for the merchant, and his present experience takes away the bitterness of the years when things went the other way. and In the gladness of the occasion the mer- chant should make some allowances for the tide again turning.

MUCH FARM PRODUCTS WASTED

Potatoes are nabobs-just real aris- ocrats-because we are at the mercy of the northern grower. Arkansas is about the best potato state of the Union, for we have two crops annual ly. and they can be made good ones if proper methods are used. The spring crop is rushed to market, and often finds it glutted so that the price is practically nil. The fall crop is not so large, and Arkansas must im- port thousands of bushels annually
