Smith then writes that on behalf of the company, the founder and the board of directors II want to oDOlo- gize for this mans action, and want 10 say to you that we have despatched one of our travelling superintendents to Pine Bluff immediately to investi- gate, and if what this paper states is true, we will immediately remove the manager It is useless for me to say that We do not educate our men to use such language of this kind or to make statements such as he has made. "** I assure you we will do everything in cur power to make matters right for had in your city"
 The travelling superintendent, L. l. Crow, was in Pine Bluff Thursday. He evidently found that The Graphic's ac- count was correct, for he announced the appointment of a new manager for the local store.

After long wait the soil-tiller re- ceived notification that the bulletins were out of print and the department was sending an application of war rant to be issued on the treasurer of the United States for the refund of his money.
 The application for the warrant is accordingly filled out and returned to the printing office and the warrant issued and sent to the treasury de- partment.
 A few days later Mr Farmer open cd his mail and read, this time from the auditor of the printing office, of which the superintendent of docu- ments is an official, that The war rant drawn in your favor is at hand, and as soon as your account has been audited, if found correct, will be paid"
 Two months later 'Mr. Farmer was rewarded with the return of his money in the form of a check.
 And if you send a check to the gov ernment it is not acceptable unless certified.
 The governments check for ten cents was not certified.

LARGE QUANTITY OF TURKEYS
VIII Be Shipped From Maysyille TO
Supply Thanksgiving Trade In the
East-Only Mature Turkeys y
Slaughtered This Year.

Apparently there will be quite a
quantity of dressed turkeys moved
from this section for the Thanksgiv-
ing trade in the Eastern cities. al
though not so many as last year.
The Il. L. Manchester Produce
Company will ship about 1000 tur-
keys, approximating 10000 pounds,
or the equivalent of three refrigera-
tor car loads.
f. G. Day & Co., who have re-
Gently erected new building on East
Second street, will ship in the neigh
borhood OF 1000 dressed turkeys or
about 5000 pounds. They are also
shipping today 1900 live turkeys by
freight.
The shipments from both Of these
firms are destined to various points
in the East, but mainly to New York
and Boston. On account of the slow
transportation that is affecting the
entire country at the present time, a
considerable portion of the Thanks
giving poultry 1t already in transit.
There will be plenty of turkeys left
in the country, however, for the
Christmas trade, as in a number OF
localities the hatch this year was con-
siderable later than usual, resulting
in the necessity for many farmers tc
hold their turkeys until later so they
could obtain their full growth.
The United States Food Admins
tration on last Saturday issued re-
quest that no turkeys be slaughtered
this year unless they were fully ma
tured and weighed not less than eigh
pounds per bird for the hen turkey!
and twelve pounds per bird for tht
gobblers. This request was made b!
the Administration in an effort t,
eliminate the wasteful practice o
marketing poultry that had not OBJ
tanned its full growth.
Although there will not be as man.
turkeys shipped from Maysville a
last year, the birds are better thai
usual on account of the action takel
by the Food Administration. The re
tail price in the East will be abou
As cents per pound. Locally the pric
is expected to be from five to tel
cents per pound lower.
