DANGERS OF DRAFT

Drafs feel best when We are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result is Neuralgia,
Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or some
times an attack of Rheumatism. In
such cases apply Sloans Liniment. 1t
stimulates circulation to the sore and
painful part. The blood flows freely
and in short time the stiffness and
pain leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find one or two applications of Sloan's
Eminent will give grateful relief. The
agonizing pain gives way to a tingl-
ing sensation of comfort and warmth
and quiet rest and sleep is possible.

R. R. COMMISSION INCLUDES
 CELERY, TOMATOES, GRAPES

Little Rock, May 6.-The Arkansas Railroad Commission yesterday made an order including celery, tomatoes and grapes in the classification of fruits, vegetables and melons, which take a special rate. The change marks a very considerable decrease in the freight rate on these products and it is believed will be the means of greatly encouraging farmers in their production. The order is to become effective May 15.

CHARTS SHOW RE-
 SULTS ACCOMPLISHED
Since Cotton Futures Act Be- came Effective Quotations Fairly Reflect Spot Values in New York and New Orleans.

Washington, D. C., May 6.-Three charts published in Service and Regu- latory Announcements No. 9 of the Office of Markets and Rural Organi- zation show the results that have been accomplished for the cotton in- dustry by the Cotton Futures Act. It IS pointed out that since this act went into operation future quotations fair ly reflect spot values in both New York and New Orleans and also, in a general way, over the entire South.
 Of the three charts, the first shows the comparative variations in the prices of spot and future cotton on the cotton exchanges of Liverpool, New York and New Orleans, for
 period preceding the enactment of the Cotton Futures Act and preced- ling also the outbreak of the European War. This chart shows that future quotations were abnormally low com pared with the price of spot cotton for the period covered by the chart.
 At New York, especially, futures were at a discount, and the same con- dition existed also at Liverpool and New Orleans, though to less extent.
 The second chart shows the varia- tions in the price of spot and future cotton on the same exchanges from February 15, 1915, to January p, 1916, during substantially all of which time the Cotton Futures Act was in effect. An examination of the chart shows great improvement over previously existing conditions. Future quotations fairly represented the value of spot cotton in all of the leading exchanges; hence, hedging has been possible on fair and satisfac- tory basis and no well-founded com plaint has been lodged against fcti- tious or misleading future quotations.
 The third chart covers the same period of time as Chart No. , and represents the variations in the prices of futures at New York and New Orleans as compared with the price of middling determined by averaging the quotations obtained from the spot markets designated under the terms of the act. This chart discloses the fact that future quotations at both New York and New Orleans have fairly indicated spot values over the South. Indeed at most times the fu ture quotations have shown a slight premium over average middling quo
 tations in the South, which is eX
 plained as due to the freight handling charges which are included in and re- tiected by the future quotations
 A careful study of the charts pre- sented leads to the conclusion that conditions in the future markets have been reasonably satisfactory since the Cotton Futures Act became ef- fective, and that therefore the enact ment of this law has been justified by the results accomplished by it.

ROAD BUILDERS ASSO-
 CATION AT BOSTON
Meet in Fourteenth Annual Con- ventiOn During Week Begin ming February ,, 1917, in Me- chanics Hall.

The next or Fourteenth Annual Convention of the American Road Builders Association, known as the Seventh American Good Roads Con gress, and the Eighth National Good Roads Show, will be held in Mechan- ics Hall, Boston, Mass, during the week beginning February ,, 1917.
 This decision was reached by the Board of Directors at it's meeting held last week at the Hotel Astor, New York, NY, after giving careful con sideration to the invitations from and the facilities afforded by such other cities as Philadelphia, Pa.. Buffalo. N. Y., Cleveland, O., Atlantic City, N. J., Chicago, Ill.,, St. Louis, Mo, New Orleans, La, and Kansas City, Mo. The directors felt that, inasmuch as no meeting of the association had been held in New England since the one in Hartford in 1904, and in view of the position New England holds among the pioneers in highway i'm lprovement, it would be specially de- sirable to have the next meeting in Boston. The states of Massachusetts and Connecticut, as well as other New England states, have inaugur- ated systems and tried out many me thods of highway construction, which road officials and engineers come from all parts of the country to get practical information concerning. 1t | is believed, therefore, that by select ing Boston for the next convention. not only will there be large attend ance from New England road build CTS, but also from middle west, the south and from the western states as well.
 Another thing which the directors carefully considered before making their decision was the fact that Me chanics' Hall, in which the sessions of the convention will take place and which will also house the exhibits of l road machinery and materials, af- | fOrds facilities which can scarcely be equalled in any city in the United States. The exhibition hall has 75,0OO or more square feet of space, which can be utilized for the Show if de- sired. The convention hall, in which the sessions of the Congress will be held, is conveniently located on the floor above the exhibition hall The building is lighted and heated throughout. In this building is held annually the Boston Automobile show which is one of the largest exhibitions of the kind in the United States.
 It is understood that the plans for the show are now being completed. and further announcements will be made soon. It is confidently believed by the directors that the Boston con vention and show will bring together . by all odds the largest gathering of the kind ever held at any time or place. ,,
