In starting this new business of

We expect to meet any and all fair

not fair We will not give attention to-

To make it plain, any customer Of
ours buying farm machinery Of any kind
will be given the same discount for cash
that we get ourselves. regardless OF what
the article may be. This is by far the
best method for all concerned.
In lieu Of the cash and failure to
take the discount as suggest in our first
method, We will extend to our trade the
very best terms We ourselves can as 10
time or bankable notes with approved Sc
curlty, and the same rate of interest we
pay ourselves under the same conditions.
In putting in our stock we will so far
as lies in our power, anticipate your wants
and have the goods ready for yon and
should we overlook what you want. or will
need in the immediate future, tell us a.
bout it and we will do our level best to
have it on hand at the earliest date pos

RUSSIANS R[YOL1;; GEAR AbIOICA1tS MINISTRY OyERThROWN Remarkable Revelation is Accom- plished in Petrograd with Lit
 tie Blo0dshed.

Petrograd, March 16.-The em- peror of Russia has abdicated and Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, his youngest brother, has been named as regent. The Russian ministry, charged with corruption and incom- potency, has been swept out of office. One minister, Alexander Protopopoff, :, head of the interior department, is reported to have been killed, and the other ministers, as we'll as the presi- dent of the imperial council, are un- der arrest.
 A new national cabinet is an- nounced, with Prince Lvoff as presi- dent of the council and premier, and the other officies held by men who are close to the Russian people. For several days Petrograd has been the scene of one of the most re- markable risings in history. Begin ming, with minor food riots and labor strikes, the cry for food reached the hearts of the soldiers, and one by one regiments rebelled until finally those that had for a time stood loyal to the government took up their arms and marched into the ranks of the rev. olutionists.
 The president of the duma, Mich ael V. Rodzianko, was the leading figure among the deputies who unan- imously decided to oppose the imper- ial order for dissolution of the
 house. They continued their ses- sons, and M. Rodzianko informed the emperor, who was at the front, that the hour had struck when the will of the people must prevail.
 Even the imperial council real
 ized the gravity'of the situation, and added it's. appeal to that of the duma that the emperor should take steps to give the people policy and gov ernment in accordance with their de- sires, and in order that there should be no interference with carrying on the war to a victorious ending. The emperor hastened back from the front, only to find that the reyolu- tion had been successful and that a new government was in control. The empress, who it is alleged has been influential in the councils op- posed to. the wishes of the people, is reported to have fled or to be in hiding.
 Although considerable fighting took place, it is not believed that the casualties are large.

GENERAL STRIKE BEGINS SATURDAY ALL RAILROADS AFFECTED Eastern Roads First Involved-Tie s
 Up to be Complete Wednesday,
 Brotherhoods Say.

New York, March 16.-"A progress sive strike" of the 100000 members of the four great railroad brother hoods, to begin at 6 o'clock Central time) Saturday on eastern roads was ordered here late yesterday. The walk-out will extend to all railroads in the country within five days. Chiefs of the workmens organiza- tions issued the strike order within a few minutes after an ultimation delivered to the conference commit tee of railroad managers had been re- jected. A compromise proposal was declined without debate.
 Only successful intervention by President Wilson can avert a strike. The brotherhood leaders gave no in dication that even an appeal from the president can change their pur- pose to obtain basic eight-hour day and pro rata time for overtime. They refused to submit their case to the eight-hour commission, headed by Major General George w. Goeth- als, or to await the decision of the supreme court on the constitutional ity of the Adamson law.
 Freight employees, yard men and hostlers on the New York Central lines, east and west, the Nickel Plate and Baltimore and Ohio railroads and in the great yards in Chicago and St. Louis will be the first to leave their posts.
 They will be followed on Sunday by the same classes of workmen on the Southern railway, the Norfolk and Western, the Virginian, Chesa- peake and Ohio and on group of Northwestern roads.
 It is said that the freight employ es on the other roads will be called out in groups at 12 or 24 hour inter vals after Sunday. If the paralysis of freight traffic thus caused does ! not force the railroads to surrender before that time, the employees on all passenger trains will be ordered out Wednesday.
 The railroad managers say that they expect that enough of their men will remain loyal to enable them to maintain a skeleton service on most roads. Some time ago the managers took census of their employees to determine how many would refuse to strike. This resulted, it was said, in percentages ranging from very few on some roads to from 50 to 60 per cent on others.

TIME SHORT FOR
 FILING PLEDGES CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT Calling of Primary Leaves Only One Day Intervening-Attorneys Hold
 Pledges Unnecessary.

The calling of the primary election for delegates to the constitutional convention only 32 days after the meeting of the state committee is- suing the call left only one day inter- vening for candidates to comply with the corrupt practices act and file their pladges, if such are held to be necessary.
 Although local attorneys expressed the opinion that it is unnecessary for candidates for delegate to file such pladges, inasmuch as the position of delegate is not state, district or county office within the meaning of the act, two county and one district delegates have filed their pledges wieh, County Clerk John Reeves. The county candidates are Dr. John H. Reynold sand J. H. Dunn and the dis trict delegate is Dr. A. c. Mallar of Little Rock.
 Dr. Reynolds has not yet definitely announced his candidacy. Some weeks ago, in response to strong solicitation from many citizens, he stated that if lit seemed to be the will of the people that he enter the race he would do so. He said today he was filing the pledge so that if he decided to be- come a candidate he would not be debarred from doing so.
 The corrupt practice act, which limits campaign expenses, governs newspaper advertising, etc, contains provision stating that Candidates for state or district offices shall file with the secretary of state. and can- didates for county or township offices shall file with the county clerk of the county, and candidates for city or town offices shall file with the city clerk or recorder, 30 days before said primary election, a pledge in writing, stating that he is familiar with the requirements of this act and will, in good faith, comply with its terms"
 Ashley Cockrill, one of the candi- dates for delegate from Pulaski county and a well known Little Rock attorney, expressed the opinion last night that the law did not require the filing of such pledges by candi- dates for delegate, but that it was possible under the rules of the cen tral committee to leave of the bal lots the names of candidates who had failed to file such pledges.
 1t is inconceivable, however, that such action would be taken" Mir. Cockrill said. Very few of the coun- ties knew until yesterday that pri- mary for the nomination of candi- dates would be called, and as yester- day was the last day for filing, it would be impossible for very large part of the candidates to comply"
 Under the rules of the central com mittee, candidates must also file
