Chance to Build Trade.

While the freight rates on some COM
modfties were so high as to render
their importation prohibitive, Consul
Spahr said he thought American ex-
porters had a good chance at this time
to build up a fair trade in such lines
as dry goods, novelties, food products.
canned goods. iron and steel manu-
features. chemicals and pharmaceutical
products. The consul said American
Arms need have no hesitancy in doing
business in Montevideo. as the leading
mercantile houses in Uruguay's capital
were wholly reliable. Full information
regarding the. standing of such firms.
he said, could be obtained here through
such agencies as the National City
Bank, Dun's or Bradstreet's.
The Uruguayans are getting big
prices for hides, skins, wool and meat.
Exports of these products. which in
1913 were valued at around $57,000,000,
had risen to $7o.00o,oo0. The declared
exports to the United States in the
fiscal year 1915 had risen to 5000. 900,
a heavy gain since 1913. The world is
80 impatient for Uruguay's products,
Mr.. Spahr said, that the sellers were
about able to dictate prices and terms.

BETTER SHIPPING
FACILITIES URGED
U. s. Consul Spain Cites Trade
Opportunities for Americans
in Uruguay.
EUROPEAN TRADE LESS

Increased shipping facilities between
the United States and Uruguay were
recently urged by H L. Spahr, United
States consul at Montevideo, in order
that full advantage may be taken of
trade opportunities now presenting
themselves there. Mr.. Spahr is in this
country at the present time for the
purpose of comforting with merchants
interested in developing trade with
Uruguay.
Exports from the United States to
my district" said Mr.. Spahr, would
have been larger had shipping facilities
been better. The lack of Transports
ton made it impossible to fill many or.
ders. while the same cause operated to
delay deliveries of merchandise too late
for the season for which they were or
dered. More ships flying the American
flag are needed to serve properly trade
between New York and Montevideo.
Cannot Get German Goods.
''The war, of course. has rendered it
impossible for German traders in
Montevideo to get goods from Ger
many, while the British blacklist pre-
vents them from procuring supplies
from neutral countries which otherwise
might be in position to furnish such
merchandise. Before the European
conflict began British, German, French
and Italian imports had value ap-
proximating $5o,oo0.oO0 annually. but
this volume of trade has dwindled to
about $3o.0oo.o00 at the present time
British shipments into Uruguay are
holding up fairly well, but those from
the other countries named have fallen
During the last fiscal year, ship
ments of American coal, wheat, and
sugar. which did not before enter into
the commerce of Uruguay, were re-
ceived In fair quantities, but at very
high prices Apart from the world
wide rise In commodity prices. Uruguay,
which produces practically nothing in
the manufactured line, has been wholly
dependent for such products from
abroad. The high freight rates and
other charges have therefore naturally
still further boosted prices for all i'm
ported commodities"

TO THE PUBLIC

The mayor and certain members of the Little Rock City Council have passed an ordinance with emergency clause attached prohibiting motor buses (jitneys) operating for fare of cents, from running on Main street from Markham to Tenth street, and on Markham from Louisiana to Main street and providing that they shall operate on Louisiana
 Realizing that Louisiana street is very dangerous street to operate on, owing to the fact that it has 30-foot roadway, while Main street has a 56- foot roadway, and, too, Louisiana has no traffic police, so for our protec- tion and for the safety of the public, we have decided to abandon the D. cent passenger servIce until such time as the City Council sees fit to allow jitneys to operate on an equal basis with the street cars, and owing to this reduction in the volume of our our taxicab rates after September to $3 per hour instead of $2.50 for seven-passenger cars, and for the same reason we will cease to make 25c taxicab calls after September l. Minimum charge will be soc.
 We have a number of five-passenger Ford cars in splendid condition that we will sell at very reasonable price, and also three 14-passenger Stakeholder buses in good condition, at very low prlces.

The new Jernigan Health Home has been open now for two weeks, and the commendaticn of patients, and the fact that every room is occupied dem onstrate that it was needed and that there was a place for it without In any way interfering with other hos pitals. All the facilities for the pro- per treatment of disease are provided here, and there is a spirit of loyalty among the attendants that pervades the whole institution. In pleasant sur roundings, with the best of medical at tention, and unworried by thoughts that the cost of treatment will bank rupt them after their recovery, the patients recover rapidly. Everything possible is done for the comfort of those who come within it's doors. Peace of mind is one of the greatest remedial agents, and the physician who can bring that about, in conjunc- tion With the proper and intelligent use of>drugs, is the one who succeeos and blesses mankind.

LARGEST STREET
 DISTRICT FORMS
THERE WILL BE 50 BLOCKS OF ASPHALTlC-MAcADAM PAVE MENT AND 60 BLOCKS OF
 SIDEWALK.

One of the largest street improve ment districts ever undertaken in the city is just being projected in Pulas- Xxi Heights. It provides for an as- phaltic-macadam pavement on 50 blocks, and about 60 blocks of side walk, besides a storm sewer that will take care of excess water on large area of the residential district. There are 3S5 lots involved. The paving will cost about $32,S00, and the sidewalk about $20,000. There has already been about $16,000 worth of grading done on the streets, and the sidewalks will be graded by the city, which will reduce the cost of the improvement. It will be done by improvement dis trict plan.
 The district extends from Lee Ave nue on the south, where it ties into District No 244, to Kenyon on the North, Spruce, Palm and Beech on the east and Locust and Prospect on the west The east and west streets included in the district are Brown,
  lawn, and the north and south streets are Palm, Spruce, Laurel, Cherry and Locust.
 The district will provide for the grading, curbing and paving with as- phaltic macadam. It will be type of street that has been demonstrated to be most substantial and permanent. The work could not be done if it were not for the grading already done by the land companies which opened up the territory, and the aid that is to be received from the city and county. The county will furnish the district with a rock crusher, and there is plenty of rock on the ground. It will be possible therefore to secure the macadam for $1 per yard that ordinar- fly costs S2. Everything is being done to reduce the cost, and make the terms as easy as possible.

Of all the girls, the girl for me Is the girl of beauty rare; The girl with feet to get-up-and-get, That does not dye her hair. You may search the wide world OCT
 and OCT,
 North, south, east or west; You'll always find the Bellevue girl The truest and the best She feeds the chickens, milks the
 cows,
 And her bread is hard to beat; But no matter what her daily task, Her smile is always sweet.
