TRUCKS DRIVE
 OUT MANY MULES
ALL THE LITTLE ROCK Jo5RlNG HOUSES NOW USE AN AUTO TRUCK THAT DOESN'T DIE
 LIKE MULES.

Because 1t makes possible better service to the trade, all Little Rock wholesale establishments are now us. ing automobile deliveries. but there. are some who held on to the mule for auld lang syne until disease began to step in and run up the cost of this system of delivering merchandise.
 Just at the time when the motor service agents began to get thick in Little Rock, an epidemic struck the mules of the city and quite few of the jobbing establishments were hard hit. One concern lost six mules in one month, each mule being worth prospects were that it would go high CT. but every time mule died the automobile agents had less talking to do to sell their wares
 The real clincher though was the opening of Camp Pike Many contracts from this great army station were awarded local concerns, and deliver ies must be frequent and rapid. X mule drawn wagon will make two trips a day to the eantonment. An au- to truck will make a round in an hour. and there is one Little Rock company that averages @niue trips daily to the camp.
 Most of the Little Rock jobbers have immense trucks. but where they are not needed the small truck does the work even more rapidly.
 The Geyer & Adams Company is the latest to install the auto delivery, purchasing two large trucks, one q Kelley-Springfield and the other | Federal.

TWO DELIVERIES
 OF MERCHANDISE
LITTLE ROCK RETAIL STORES WILL PUT INTO EFFECT THIS RULE ON SEPT. f-cHARGES
 FOR SPECIAL DELIVERIES.

All retail stores of Little Rock maintaining a system of deliveries Of purchases will on September l put ln- to ecect rule that will prohibit more than two deliveries daily. This is i'll response to the request of the State Council of Defense that the deliveries be curtailed, with the lessening of ex- pense and the release of men for war time work
 With the change in delivery system comes charge for deliveries after the regular ones have been made. A charge of 15 cents will be made, one half of which will be donated to the Red Cross War Relief Fund. This is expected to soon put stop to the ordering of trifies and force the house. wife to do all her ordering at one time.
 That the present system has been badly abused, making it doubly ex- pensive on the merchant, is shown in the senseless manner in which some of the customers have done their or dering. One Little Rock woman or dered a cake of yeast. This article sells usually for 2 1-2 cents. Most merchants charge cents for the first cakt, and give ticket for the sec ond Others charge 3 cents per cake. Tn this case the woman struck cent yeast man. She ordered nothing else, yet when the delivery was made she refused to accept the article, de- claring sh had been overcharged. All other woman of Little Rock ordered two loaves of bread from a grocer. It was not the grocer with whom she regularly traded, but the order was given because he did not have so much business as her grocer. and would make a more prompt delivery. When the bread came the loaves were smaller than those sold by the regu, lar grocer. and the woman would not accept them
 Local grocers anticipate some trou- ble at the start with the 15 cent charge on special deliveries. They expect the women, when they ind they must make the payment, to send the goods back and decline any re- sponsibility. They will demand a payment for service, no matter wheth- CT the goods are accepted or not on the grounds that the service has been rendered, and if all grocers stand by the rule of the local association, there will be less of the special deliveries, and no one will refuse to pay for them when made.

CHILDREN BITTEN
 BY RABID DOG
TWO HEADS SUBMITTED TO LIT TILE ROCK CHEMIST THIS WEEK THAT SHOW PRESENCE OF
 DREADED DISEASE.

Two heads from dogs suspected of rabies were this week examined n the Manglesdorf laboratories, one from De Vall's Bluff, and the other from Stephens. Both showed unmis- takable evidence of the presence If the disease Two children were bit ten in Stephens and one in De Valrs Bluff, and the parents have been ad- vised to Immediately have the Pas. teur treatment administered
 Rabies is caused by parasite, says Dr. Wm. F. Manglesdorf, of the Manglesdorf Laboratories, and not by a germ. This parasite works on the nerves instead of in the blood, as does the germ.
 "The bite or an animal afflicted with hydrophobia apparently soon heals, but the parasite works down to a nerve center, and then starts to work. The nerve cells are attacked all the way to the spinal chord and the bra'n. and eonYulsions follow"
 The Manglesdorf Laboratories It ways dog head on hand to be ex- amined. The examination is micro scopic and there is no mistaking the parasite, because of it's peculiar shape. II is different from any other parasite or germ, and is as easily detected by the expert, as it is for a person 10 tell the difference between St. Der. nard and a terrier of the dog family.

ARKANSAS WHEAT
 IS FINEST OF ALL
LITTLE ROCK FLOUR MILL CON- PANY MAKES INITIAL RUN, TURNING OUT FINE FLOUR
 FROM ARKANSAS WHEAT.

The first run of the Little Rock Flour Mill Company was made this week, and. just as soon as machinery adjustments can be made, the new mill will be running to it's full capac- ity of 100 barrels of flour and 15U barrels of meal daily.
 This mill, the latest of Little Rock industries, brought to Little Rock by the Board of Commerce to make a speciality of Arkansas wheat bids fair to do even better than the promoters anticipated The word that the mill was going start had in some way gone over he country around Little Rock, and the first week found farm CTS from as far away as Faulkner and Saline counties bringing wheat to Little Rock for. sale or to be ground
 J. A. Stapp and E. H. Stapp, presi dent, and vice president and general manager of the new company, come from Kevil and Henderson, Kentucky. Their father was a miller before them, and his six sons all learned the busi- ness under him and are now grinding flour under modern methods in sev- eral states.
 There is no use talking, this Ark ansas wheat is of the finest grade, and we hope to have many thousand bushels of it for grinding every year when the farmers get to growing it extensively" says E. H. Stapp,
 "We grind so different now from what we did a few years back that we have considerable argument with the farmers before we can convince them that it is no longer practical to bring their wheat to mill and go home with it in flour, shorts and bran. Why, we make the very finest flour from what used to be the shorts, Flour is no longer ground one time. It IS ground and re-ground and sifted, and then ground again. We grind some of the Hours six and more times.
 We expect to grind whole wheat four for those who want it, and we are going to grind four according to the taste of the people of Little Rock and vicinity. We do not care for any iong distance shipping, for if we can get the patronage of the people here at home, and of the country people within a radius of 100 miles of Little Rock, we will have our mill running right and day We want to take all the wheat the farmers in this section can raise, and in return we want to supply hem with their flour and meal"
 MT Stapp has purchased quite a bit of Arkansas wheat, but it is in small quantities. There was not a sufficient quantity of it to start the mill Tuesday, SC car of Illinois wheat made the first four put out by this concern.
 Tho mill is located at the old J. F. Weinmann Milling Company stand on West Markham streets.
 T. H. Nelson and A T. Nelson, also new corners to Little Rock, are secre- tary and treasurer of the new com pany.
 The brands of flour that are being manufactured by the company are, Anchor Brand, Jersey Cream and Pearl. Meal of the same brands is also manufactured.
