Fox Brothers Demonstrate Once Again That Team

FAMILY MEMBERS
 "PULL TOGETHER"
Institution Upon Which Abou. 18O People Depend Built Up Thru Co., operation of Owners, and
 and Employees.

The success of the Fox Brothers Hardware company is another con- crete demonstration of the truth that Teamwork wins." Seldom are found four bothers who "pull together" as well as did the Fox brothers, and their attitude toward each other and to- ward mankind in general speaks vol u1nes for the early training they re. ceived "back in Virginia" And the way in which Campbell Fox, son of the late Fred Fox, and Carlton Fox, son of Hugh Fox. who are actively engaged in the business, have taken hold pres ages . continuous of the relations and high standards which have given the pace in the business world and com munity that the firm and it's members today enjoy.
 Fox Brothers Hardware company was incorporated with capital stock of $10O.O0O, with the late Fred Fox n president. Upon the death of Fred Fox early this year, Hugh c. Fox was elected president. and Campbell Fox secretary and treasurer. Lee Fox is vice president, and manager of the re- tail department. Those, with Carlton Fox, T. B. Lyle and H. l.. Atkinson comprise the board of directors. Oth- CT stockholders are Mrs. Oliver Gal braith, Mrs. J. N. McCammon, Miss

 Jim, (on third floor): "Al right, Jack: they'll be down in a second"
 "Jim" rolls the rope over to the chute and tumbles it in. There's a sound like the bursting of hose pipe. and presto-the rope is down stairs. Hurrying oyer to another part of the floor, "Jim" grabs the stove pipe in one hand and the case of lamp chimneys in the other, walks back and dumps them into the chute. Another swish" and the cipe and chimneys are before "Jack" who only has to have them marked and put on the truck for transportation to the depot or their destination.
 The chute is so constructed that the articles sent down in them have their momentum slackened gradually, thus avoiding breakage or injury to frag' ile articles.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By s. w. STRAUS Prs,idtnf Hmfrieas Seeiety fSr 1Hsin

40O-acre rice plantation in Georgia. On another plantation of 1,l0O acres a total of 30,000 rodents, by actual count, were despatched.
 At one of the packing houses in Chicago from 4,000 to 5000, it re. gently was reported, were killed annually. On a 150-acre farm on an island off the Massachusetts Coast 1900 occupied rat holes were found and other rats were living about the farm buildings. On one sugar plantation in Porto Rico z5,.. GOO rats were killed in less than 0 months. During a rat plague in Rock Island and Mercer Counties, Ill.,, some years ago $500 rats were killed in single month.
 During the campaign of the Pub- lie Health Service against bubonic plague in San Francisco and New Orleans more than 1,300,000 rats were killed in the two cities.
 We might go on indefinitely: We might tell of the destruction of human life through bubonic plague, septic pneumonia, trochinosis, epic demic jaundice, rat-1eprosy and rat- bite fever. We might go back to the very dawn of history and tell how throughout the life of the hu- man race this terrible creature has ever been at our heels like thing of evil ready to kill or contaminate.
 In this day of thrift it is indeed high time that action were taken against this pest. Laws should be enacted compelling landlords to rat proof all buildings. In the rural districts organized drives against rats should be arranged, and the civic organizations in cities and towns should become active. Prizes should be offered for the destruction of them, traps should be set and poisons admin istered.
 The world is too much in need of food now to let any of it go to make fat and plump the rats that live in our alleys, our out-houses, our barns, and our fields.
 Persons desiring to know more about rat proofng buildings and destroying rats should write to the Biological Survey, U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture for 2 free pamphlet on the subject.

SOMETHINS NEW IN THE WAY OF SCALES
Howe Weighing Device in New Fo1 , Brothers Building Gives Net \ :
 Weight.

Something new in the way of a weighing device is part of the equip nlent for facilitating the filling of crders as we'll as giving the buyer ..all tha's coming to him" ln the new Fox brothers building. This is a Howe automatic scales, that de- ducts the tare and gives the net weight, sayiAg the weigher from mak- ing the computation and reducing the liklihood of error. 1t is simply and easily manipulated, too.
 The way it is handled is this: Sup pose the order is for several coils of rope or bolts, or other stuff sold by the pound. The shipping clerk will order one of the handlers to roll the truck with which he is going to move the rope or bolts upon the scales. The track weighs 125 pounds. All right. The weight on a lever in plain sight is shifted to 125 pounds, thus equalizing the weight, and the finger on the big dial goes back to 0. After that the shipping clerk can rer main in his office few feet away. and see just what is the net weight of every truckload or rope, bolts or other stuff rolled upon the scales.
 This device saves time, prevents error, reduces labor.

Blanche Fox and Talbot Benton and Fred Fox Benton, the last two named being minor grandchildren of the late Fred Fox.
 Will Fox was formerly engaged in business for himself, but became as- sociated with his brothers in the hard ware business many years ago, and has worked in loyal cooperation with them toward the development of the trade.
 Empoyes 40 Peope.
 Fox Brothers Hardware company employs about 40 peope. On the basis of four persons in each family practically all of the employees being heads of families-it is seen that about 16O of the population of Pine Bluff are dependent, in more or less degree, upon the firm for their daily bread. Most all of these employees are highly-paid people, practically ex- perts- in their work, and are men and women of such character and demean- or as one naturally would expect to find affiliated with such men as Fox brothers have proved themselves to be.
 That there are no "grouches" among the Fox brothers staff is the best evi- dence of the interest taken in the well fare of the employees by the heads of the firm. The result is that the com- pany experiences no troubel in fill ing positions, as these are created by of the business, and that ev- cry one of the staff is always eager to further the interest of the establish ment.
 As is usually the case. the atmos- phere of honesty and fair dealing that has ever existed in the office of Fox Brothers Hardware company per- meates the entire establishment, and, consequently, there isn't salesman or other employe-keen tho they may be for orders-who would knowingly mis- represent an article, or give aught but a "square deap to any customer whether the dealer spends thousands or the stranger who might drop in for file. saw, box of shells or a pocketknife.
 "Do unto others as you would that others do unto you" is followed by ev- cry one in the Fox brothers establish ment.

HALrsoLlNG RUBBER SHOES.

A friend of the writer gets more than double wear out of his rubber over shoes by half soling them with rubber. He owns an automobile and when the soles of his overshoes becU.ne thin, but are still watertight he takes a torn and otherwise useless inner tube and cuts 6 half sole from it. This half sole is then cemented to the rubber shoe-after both sole end shoe have been cleaned thor cughly and roughened with sandPa- per-using ordinary rubber cement and clamping or holding both tightly together so that secure union is obtained. The same kind Of cement is used for repairing bicycle tires, end if used according to the directions that accompany it, satisfactory job will result. An attached sole of this kind will ofte.l give lcnger. wear than the original.

|, A Kansas editor states deliberately
 that a man is always afraid of wo- man who knows more grammar than The does, and another Kansas editor, falling into agreement, adds that a
 man is equally afraid of woman who knows more mathematics than he .coes. Of course. this might be strung put to an indeterminate length, but
 it would resolve itself into the point that women who k2ow more than men
 must be tactful in revealing what shey know, if they would not drive men who know less than they da away.

give attention that most destruc- tive of all, pests-the rat.
 It is not out of the way to say that we should begin at once to seek some plan of organized war fare on this loathsome animal to which human life and the property of man alike have fallen dreadful sacrifice.
 It is estimated that each rat 1iv- ing in city or town causes an an- nual destruction of $5. It is es- timated that the rat population of our urban districts is 50,OO0,OOO, so the loss in the cities and towns alone amounts to $250,000,OOO a year. In the rural districts our rat population is 150,000,000. So our rat bill must be close to half a billion dollars year.
 About 10 years ago a survey was made of the rat depredations in the cities of Baltimore and Washing. ton, where an annual loss of $1,1OO00O was found.
 It is estimated that rats in Amer ica on the most conservative esti- mate destroy the product of 2OO,- GOO men with a full equipment of land and agricultural implements. In other words we are maintaining a standing army of 100000 men fully equipped just to fight rats to a drawn battle.
 In 1914 the Virginia Commis- sioner of Health estimated that in the Southwestern part of that state rats destroyed 10 per cent of the grain and 75 per cent of the young chickens and turkeys. Dur ing single winter and spring re- gently 17,000 rats were killed on

SPIRAL CHUTE WILL
 INTEREST "kIDOlEs'
Device Like sShoOt-de. Chute" in Fox
 Brothers Building Conserves Shoe Leather, energy. lime.

There is one labor-seving device in the new building : of Fox Brothers Hardware company Sthat is going to excite the envy of every ,red-hooded kid that sees it. That is the spiral chute or "lowervator" for transport ing packages from the second and third floors to the shipping depart ment on the third floor. It is so much like a playground "shoot-de-chute" that hardly a boy who sees it but will experience great desire to take at least just one whirl. However he'd ages or little boys-wiil come sliding down the chute so rapidly that a liv- ing body would be sout of breath by the time it reached the bottom. As a labor saving, hurry-up device, this spiral chute is "all to the good" It is going to save much shoe leath- CT for the employees, and time and wear and tear of elevator for the firm.
 A steel-lined chute built in spiral form-as the name implies-this in vention permits the handling of smaller packages so rapidly and safe ly that it is but a question of time when it will be installed in every modern establishment of two stories or more. ~
 If an order comes in now for a case of lamp globes, case of stove pipe, A keg of nails, or coil of rope, the shipping clerk calls out to help ed to get out whatever is wanted. The helper goes to the electric elevator in the old warehouse, elevates him self to the floor where the article is stored. rolls or carries it to the ele- vator and then lowers himself and the freight to the first floor.
 With the automatic telephone and the spiral chute the procedure will be-:

ALCOHOL AND FEAR SEEDS OF COWARD|CE
Responsible for Most Court Mar
 tialS in France

Paris, April 21.-Two- thirds of the court martial cases at the war front and immediately behind the front have developed from either drunk enness or fear, sometimes from both, according to Monster Rene de Plan- 1lol, who has had more than two years experience as counsel for the defense in such cases. Drum-head court martials, with summary executions of spies and deserters, have been far less frequent than might be imagined. Not only have sentences to death been infrequent, but, extraordinary as it appears. the verdicts of justice at the front are seldom executed.
 The general in command of the sec tor has the power of suspending all court martial sentences until the end of the war, and he exercises that pre- rogative nearly always, even in cases of second offences. The only penal ties immediately applied are those of death and punishment that involves military degradation. Even in these cases the condemned man usually begs to be sent back to the battle line, and his request is sometimes accorded af- ter a certain lapse of time.
 Few Prison Sentences.
 Sentences to prison and hard labor are few. It is considered absurd to lodge in prison rugged soldiers whose
