PROSPERITY
PROBLEMS FOR MERCHANTS.

The statement on the parcel post
business through the pine Bluff post
office during the II days from April
/ to April l. provides a problem that
the merchants of this city should at
tack and solve.
Nearly twice as many packages
wee brought to Pine Bluff as were
sent away from the city. the figures
being: Inbound. 5,l16: outbound.
s,o97 This would indicate that at
least 1227S4 packages are brought
to Pine Bluff in year by the parcel
post. OF course. not all these pack
ages represent purchases made in
other cities by Pine Bluff people. but
TIE great majority contain goods
bought elsewhere and paid for with
Fine Bluff-earned money.
Tho figures tend 20 indicate that
the more than 10000 packages
brought to Pine Bluff in a year by the
parcel post represent at least 5000
that can be purchased here.
The folk who are sending half a
million dollars out of Pine Bluff each
yea. must realize that they are injur-
ing the city, for an increase in the
local retail business of 100000 a
year would mean the employment OF
more help by the merchants and more
money distributed among Pine Bluff
people. Realizing this. the purchasers
of half a million dollars worth OF
goods must consider they have good
reason TO send this enormous sum
cut of the city.
To discover the reason and over
come the influence that is working
tc the detriment of Pine Bluff is q
problem for the merchants OF the ely

RURAL CREDITS.

That the system of the Credit
Fonciel- of France will provide the re-
lief of which the farmers of the United
States are entitled, is the opinion of
the New Orleans Picayune.
Discussing the bill before congress for
the establishment of IL regional
mortgage banks. the New Orleans
publication says:
The house committee on banking
and currency having perfected bill
which provides for the establishments
of twelve regional mortgage banks it
is to be assumed that the administra-
ton will put its full strength behind
the measure And certainly something
should be done without delay TO round
out the system Of which the federal
reserve banks can be. at best, but 4
part. The farmers are entitled to re-
lief, as the mercantile community was.
and the relief is long overdue.
The bill to be reported by the COM
mittee on banking and currency would
establish twelve regional mortgage
banks which could lend only through
associations formed by intending Dor
rowers. These associations, as we'll
as the United States treasury. must
subscribe to the stock of the region
al mortgage banks and the associa-
tiops.s it, we. mistake not, are TO guar
antee payment Of loans made to their
members.

ALUMINIUM AUTO BODY.
Eetroit Electric Type of Construction
Unsurpassed.

In Detroit Electric automobile body
construction. every o-tion of the
body exposed TO climatic changes is
made of aluminium. This expensive
but permanent msthod. prevents any
portion of the body work from warp
ing or splittering. as is always the
case when wood is used
Another important item is the man
ner in which the one Niece aluminium,
tops are adjusted to frame OF car.
First. a shset OF heavy canvass is
stretched over the room frame. then
heavy layer of cotton batting is
placed over the canvas and finally the
one piece aluminium roof is fastened
in place over the layer of cotton bat
ting
This type Of construction takes adj
vantage of the thevmos bottle prin-
eiple-thereby preventing the sun
rays from pentrating to the interior
of cars in summer-and also tending
towards the retention OF any heat
created within the car by artificial
heating devices during cold winter
weather. The layer of cotton batting
also deadens the sound OF falling
rain. which often is most annoying
during heavy storms.

Soldiers on Border Eager to
Settle Old Scores with
Mexicans.
(By Kent A. Hunter)

Columbus, y. M. April 26.-Down at
the South Gate on the road to Las
PalomaS. is an outpost of the amer
lean army Twelve men are there
under command of a sergeant. and
their trim brown tents, in perfect
alignment, show against the skyline of
the organ mountains as the teeth Of
a saw
In front OF the tents are two orderly
stacks of rifles, off to one side is
the cook tent. with sanitary rsfuse
cans. and a clean oven made of adobe
and tin.
A typical Remington background is
he picked line, some twenty five
Yards to the rear of the tents, where
the horses of the men lazily kick at
each other and chew their hay.
Fifty yards beyond the little Amer
lean camp is a tumbledown. rickety
shack Around it, in nondescr:p,, rag
ged and i'll fitting uniforms. lounge
some forty MeNicans. One. a little
less dirty than the others, is an au.
, tho-ity.
Tie contrast between the American
and Carranza armies is clearly show1i
by two little outposts.
On the MeXicans' side of the line
there is indiscriminatc shooting. at
crows at prairie dogs and even at tin
cans and lunches of soap weed. On
j the American side there is GIN
! silence. as ii the men m >haki cher
! ished every shot in tn ir pouches.
| On the Mexican side there is re-
dundance of Tequilla. Much of the
shoc,iAg may be attributed to tle re-
peated drafts of the NJ Xican liquor

/ thee is big water can, but no evil
! denee of other liquor.
The sergeant in charge is of the
new type of the Am rican army. He
isn't more than % or q. He is clean
shaven. and his hair is close cropped
| A short. bristly. typically Broadway
mustache is to be noted. He mas been
on the line since 1913. and has sec
much of the antics of Mexican armies
Some day" unused the sergeant.
"some of those crazy Mexicans are
going to do a little of their shooting
this way Then maybe we can use
! these"
He pointed TO the stacked rifles,
slapped the 10 calibre automatic PTS
tol at his side. and ran an appraisinS
j finger along the edge OF a sharp
shiny bayonet that slid on oiled catch
bolts from its leather case.

COMMON SENSE.

A Kentucky Judge instructed a jury
mat anyone who operates an autOmo-
bile is guilty of negligence per Sc if he
drives after partaking of intoxicants.
Wherefore the Louisville Courier
journal remarked that this was in ac-
cord with the theory thai law was the
science of common sense, and added
this.
Nobody would feel safe on rail

engineer was drinking And locomo-
