Cash Discounts VS..
Credit and Premiums

The cost of living is very high and the average
person complains about the advancing OF prices
We have been requested by over one-half> OF our
customers to adopt some system whereby meats and
groceries be sold cheaper the only possible way is
to sell for cash only. This will the customer
who pays cash daily every month, from paying
the bills of customers who never pay their bills, al
so the interest it costs to carry book accounts and
general credit system of collection, etc. We don't
think fair now, did, to compel the good cash
customer to pay high prices for what he buys and
pays for, because the merchant trusts and accumu-
lates bad accounts which he cannot help collect
if he does general credit business. YOU who pay
cash. must pay that bill-nobody deny that.
The Scenic City Market has been with you eight
years and years of experience have brought out
this change, SO beginning Feb. l. 1917, we pay five
per cent on the dollar, this means that for every
dollar you spend here give you back five cents,
not in trade but actual cash, it is immateria to
whether you pay cash or settle your account every
Saturday of each week you get your five cents re-
fund. We believe you would rather have the cash
than premium that you do not need, and we guar
antee to save you many dollars on your daily pur-
chases We will have coupon books from $3.50 to
500 in size. Hoping for customers cooperation
we remain yours for share of your trade.
WE ALSO GIVE STAMPS, BUT TAKE CASH
DISCOUNT AND SAVE MONEY.

maintained as they are now,-there must be a change,-but it is not at all probable that this generation will ever witness another period of depres- sion when cotton sells at , cents pound, and common labor was glad to get 75 cents a day. Those were the days when a billion dollar Con- gress was considered legislative crim inality, and $10 day wages could be hoped for only by Bank presidents. Now the country speaks lightly of hundreds of millions and billions, and everybody and their cooks are buying six-cylinder cars and flivvers, and merchants and contractors and print CTS, and craftsmen of all kinds are too busy for home life or church work, and money is being spent with profuseness that staggers econom- ists.

Arkansas is doing it's share in ev- erything that has been proposed for the support of the government, and the welfare of the men who have been sent and will be sent to the front to fight our battles The first Liberty Loan issue was over-subscribed, then there came the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. campaigns, the War Library campaign, and now the state is in the midst of another Liberty Loan drive. The prospects for it's success are very brilliant, for more and more the pulp lie is awakening to a realization Of the seriousness of the war situation. Bonds or bondage is the slogan that is bringing the truth home to the peo- ole as it never has been before. The people begin to realize that every dollar paid, every man enlisted, every garment knit, every loyal act done for the government, advances the conclu- sien of the war just that much.
 And there is no doubt about the stand that has been taken by the peo- pie of Arkansas in this war. It would be impossible for any people to stand more loyalty by the President and hls policies than have the citizens of Ark ansas. Soon there will be 3O,OO0 Arkansas boys in training camps, and by next summer many of them will be on the firing line, and it is but the fate of war that many of them will lay their lives upon the altar of world democracy in far-away Flanders. But when the roll of patriots is called, Arkansas will be among the first to answer "here'

The Moonlight Schools which have done so much for the uplift of Ten nessee and Kentucky mountaineers, are to be established in several coun- ties of Arkansas by the Department of Education and the Illiteraey Commis= sion. Surveys are being made of the counties in which the schools are to be operated, and the adult illiterates are being enrolled. In some instances, the Department has been gratified to find the percentage of illiterates much smaller than had been estimated. The schools are to be taught for period of ten days, or nights, beginning Oct. %, and concluding Nov. 9.
 The schools are to be taught by vol unteers from among the teachers of the counties, as there are no funds with which to pay them. The ses- sions will last for an hour and half each night, and during that time 1t Is desired that each adult illiterate in the community be taught to read and wrte.
 eTry to do at least two things dur ing the 10 days time says State Supt. Bond. Teach five or more per sons. who cannot do 50, to read and write"
 Those who have made a study of the situation. see wonderful possibilities in these schools, and it is predicted that from this small beginning the schools will soon spread to the entire state, and that much will be done to relieve conditions of ilhteracy throughout the state.

Little Rock, Oct. 22.-The cotton crop is short this season beyond prece- dent in Pulaski county, but the price is higher than ever before. and does not seem to have reached the top yet. The high price has been the salvation of the farmers, and has brought them more money than has many of the larger crops.
 An old river bottom darkey, ". M. Bailey by name, was relating his ex- perienees the other day, and volun- teered the information that he reckon ed he had been growing cotton about long enough. He said he took a bale to the city the day before and sold it for $19740, and had the seed left. He also had ten bales more of the same grade of cotton, so that he would clean up more than $2,000 on his crop this year
 Well, uncle,' remarked the inter- viewer, with all of that money. the next thing you do will be to buy an automobile.
 "Oh, shucks, boss" he replied with the air of a born aristocrat, we done got one of them things already"
 It is true that the farmers, white and black, have more money than they have had in years before, and they are lifting mortgages. and buying automobiles. and importing pure bred stock, and buying Liberty Bonds and things.
 The government work is also turn ing loose millions of dollars in the state, and almost every industry has felt the influence of this increasing prosperity Students of economic con- ditions express the belief that t is permanent, and that 1t will continue even after peace is declared This is based upon the fact that 1t will re- quire several years for the European nations to restore even T semblaHce of normality, and in the meantime, American must feed and clothe the greater part Of the world.
 Iabarars are getting more for their work than ever before. the products of the farm are bringing a far larg- CT return, there is an urgent demand in every industry for more labor than can be supplied One of the effects that have been felt, and will continue to be felt, is the difficulty of coming down from the high wage that has been set by the Government Negroes who have been making as high as $8 or $10 day will find it difficuult to come back to wages anything like that which prevailed before the war. Peace will bring with it many prob lens of re-adjustment as great as have been some of those which have confronted the nation during the last two years High prices cannot be

Lean Six Months
For Chinese Spirits
Hungry Boys Devour Food
Left on Graves at Feast
of Hong Teen
By BRIGGS

In a thousand homes around Cypress
, cemeteries the feast OF Hong Teen was
celebrated last night by hungry and
irreverent white devils who are sScus-
toned to taking things as they come
and asking no questions.
Rare flowers and fruits graced the
tables of the white devils. a back
ground for such substantials as roast
pig and boiled chicken, and there was
much merrymakng With food raj
ment had come many bolts Of fine
silks showered out of the sky. For the
women that was more interesting than
the mama.
In Chinatown, too, there was rejoic-
ing, but of more solemn sort. This was
the rejoicing that is the right Of him
who has done noble and self-sacriticing
things. That its offerings TO the Ling
Won had gone astray Chinatown
neither knew nor cared; the sacred duty
had been done in the teeth Of the ris-
ing cost OF living, and for another half
year the Ling Won, which are the souls
Of the departed, need not know the
gnawing Of hunger or the pinch of cold.
At noon yesterday the nan wv
streets of Chinatown were blocked
with horse drawn vehicles in various
stages Of disintegrstion-- resurrected
victorias, battered four-wheelers, ven
cradle barouches and even a hanson
or two. 1t is the same on certain days
in every third moon and every ninth,
which is the present moon.
Piled high with fruits. flowers. food
silks and Chinese the carriages wended
out OF pell, Doyers and Mott streets 70
the three cemeteries favored n Celes-
tiels. Thousands of dollars were rep
resented in the cargoes; at Hong Teen
time no one counts the cost.
Each Chinese grave in the three
cemeteries, as has been the custom
since the first Hong Teen was cele-
brated three thousand years ago for
the philosopher, Matchmaking, was
sprinkled with rice wine. So that much
was saved for the Ling-Won. Then on
every grave was placed a basket con-
tanning couple OF pounds Of roast
pig. a half boiled chicken and what in
the parlance Of the white DEVILS
Thanksgiving would be termed trim
Minis
And where they were put the bas
kets stayed just as long as did the
friends Of the Ling-Won. That, too. is
the same in every third moon and
every ninth. for the grave diggers and
neighbors and small boys appertaning
20 the grave diggers and the neighbors
know we'll that what is prepared for
the Ling-Won is of the best.

the old fashioned advertiser. "by tests

Gen. Bell Appeals
To City for Army
Recreation Fund
Harry Barnhart to Teach
10000 Soldiers at Yap-
hank to Sing

An appeal was made to Mayor Mitchell
and the city yesterday by Major Cen
eral j. Franklin Bell, who will be
commandant at Camp Upton, Yaphank,
Long Island for an army recreation
fund for his division. He wants two
or three large meeting halls, with q
combined seating capacity Of $4,000,
and he wants his soldiers to learn to
sing.
Singing men are fighting men;
have said that before" he said yester-
day. And he believes that in sing ng,
differences are forgotten and the spirit
Of the people goes forth as creative
force for shaping the spiritual develop
ment of community and nation.
Harry Barnhsrt has been asked 20
help in teaching the soldiers 10 sing.
lie has Just returned 70 New YORK
rom Buffalo, where he conducted a
soldier community chorus in the open.
He said ne would inspect Camp Upton
Immediately and report to the commit
tee in charge of the recreation work.
To Build Three Auditoriums
AS the camp is about two miles long
and a mile wide, Mr.. Barnhart said
the plan probably would be to build
two or three large auditoriums similar
to those used by Billy Sunday. In
addition he hopes that a great stadium
can be erected 10 hold all OF the 44,OVO
soldiers, not only for singing, but also
TO listen 70 messages from the Presi-
dent and commanding officers.
General Bell said of the project yes
terday:
II do not think that my plans for he
recreational work at Camp Upton are
pretentious when it is realized tnat
many thousands OF men will be there
a city in itself.
And any one who has seen Harry
Barnhart leading the $4,000 sold iers OF
the Syracuse mobilization camp IN sorg
must realize the tremendous spiritua!
value OF this work to the soldiers.
The facilities now planned by the
government for Camp Upton in this
respect are inadequate and | have
asked Mr.. Barnhart 20 60 into the mat
ter thoroughly and advise me OF the
best method of meeting this situation.
II is bored that the citizens Ct New
York will respond generously to the
needs of their sons. AS they always
have, trust they will want to provide
generously for the recreation and sing
ing activities of the camp.
"A committee of public spirited citi-
Gems should be formed at once to raise
this fund and am asking Mayor John
Purroy Mitchell TO appoint such COM
mittee and act as honorary chairman.
Mr.. ". Kirkpatrick Brice, Of 90 Wall
Street, has kindly agreed to act as
treasurer II this fund and all contribu-
tions collected should he sent to him.
