LESSON TAKEN FROM
A MERCHANT PRINCE
(Contributed)

The greatest merchant in the world
is the proud title accorded Frank w.
Woolworth, founder of the Woodwork:
SC and 10c stores, one of which was
recently opened in Ell Centre. And
by the way Ell Centre is to be con-
graduated on the fact that it was
chosen for one of these stores, as a
city that has not reached population
of 5000 is never selected unless it is
an exceptionally good business town
Mr.. Woolworth's method in selectin :
a town, as explained by himself, is as
follows:
ave maintain our own census all
over the United States and Canada.
L. is kept up to date, so that we know
continually just which towns are
growing and which are standing still
and which are dwindling. Every
movement of the people is reported to
us and we try to diagnose coming
developments"
January l, 1917, there were 20 o.
these stores in the United States and
Canada, according to an article in the
current number of Leslie's devoted to
this marvellous man. The magnitude
OF the business may in a measure j.,
understood when it is learned that last
year sales amounted to over $1,000,
COO. This year they will reach 500 :
100000 and represent 1,500,000,0Ol
transactions. Last year Mr.. Wool
worth sold a total of 50,000,000 pairs
Icf hosiery, S9,0OO,0OO boxes Of candy,
I2O,00O,000 sheets of music, 100000
boxes of safety matches, 21,000,000
sticks of chewing gum, 5,500,000 rolls
Of waxed paper-enough to wrap SUI
ficient sandwiches to feed 170,000,000
people. The Woolworth building i'll
New York, costing S14,000,000, and
said to be the highest building in the
world, is monument to the enter
prise and business ability Of Mr.,
Woolworth and proves the value o.
the festive nickel and dime. 1t is &c
stories high, measuring 1872 feet to
the top.
This marvellous business was STAR
ed at Lancaster, Pa, with a sto,k
W orth 1921. In the beginning he had
his ups and downs, his successes and
his failures, till finally the business
was placed on a firm financial basi:
He ascribes his success to various
causes, but principally to these two
rules:
"Give people such value that they
will save money trading with you, ard
treat your employees so well that they
will give your customers satisfactory
service"
Mr.. Woolworth's ambition is to open
one of his stores in every civilized
town throughout the world.

A boon to women troubled with superfluous hair is the new phelac, tine process It is totally unlike the depilatory. electrical and other methods heretofore employed for the removal of hairy growths. It is the only thing that enables one to remove the hair completely roots and all in ones own home without the as sistance of an expert The result cannot be doubted for the user sees the hairroots with her own eyes.
 A stick of phelactme, with easy di- rections, can be had at any drug store, lt is entirely harmless Ca child could safely eat iU odorless and non irritating. Always sold under money-back guarantee lt is an in stantaneous method, and so thorough that the skin is left perfectly smooth and hairless, bearing not the least evidence of its former disfigurement.

JOCKEY ERICkNON
 TO HAVE GUARDIAN
PERHAPS A NEW CONTRACT FOR THE HOT SPRINGS JOCKEY WILL RESULT FROM
 ACTION.

Jockey Henry Erickson. a Hot Springs product, and a little fellow who is believed to have a bright and prosperous future ahead of him in the racing game, is likely to have new court guardianship within the near future. An application for such a guardianship was filed yesterday by Attorney Wilmington. and Judge Buchanan will act on tho proceedings soon.
 W. j. Foley a horseman, who was interested in little Erickson, had him self appointed guardian for the boy. whose father is dead, and that guard ianship might have stood but that Foley is a nonresident of the state. It is reported that terms had been aereed on between Erickson and Foley.
 In the event new guardian is SC. lectod, who is a resident of the state. it is expected that new terms will be made for the boys jockey hip. and when it is considered that Erickson can ride at 90 pounds. and that he is considered an exceptional prospect in the saddle, a real big contract may hS entered into for the boy The mat ter will be heard in the probate court soon

 The Hot Springs team, made m of Jack Villas, Tom Martin, Hiram Whit. tington and Fellows Gaines. fulfilled the hopes of local golfers yesterday afternoon at the Country Club when they succeeded in winning the first event of the state golf tournament, the "Team Match" Competing against them were seams represent- ing Little Rock Fort Smith. Texar, kama, Pine Bluff and Helena Each | team was made up of four players rom each club represented and after all cards were in it became evident that the local golfers had won the event in comparatively easy fashion. Every player on the local team was well near the bogey mark, and the team had grand total of 337 for the four members. the team average be. ing S4-flat bogey. Wilmington was low man with an so, but was closely crowded by Villas, who finished with an S2. Martin was third man on the team with an 85. and Gaines turned in a 90 for the round.
 The opening day of the state tourna. ment as a most suspicious one from every standpoint. Perfect weather prevailed, the number Of players was large, and the local course was never in better condition for fast play. This was particularly true of the greens. It remained for a Helena man to break the course record on the open ing day MT Crager turned in a round of 79, or five strokes under bOgey. His teammates failed to keep up with him however and while his score lowered the average for the Helena team. it could not offset some of the rounds of the other members on the team. Previous to yesterday the course record for an amateur was Sl.
 The Little Rock team finished sec- ond, l4 strokes over the local playl CTS. Vincent Miles was low man for the Capital city with an S3 for the IS holes. r. E. T. Hollenberg was sec. ond and Mr. Bennett and MT Conley finished in the order named The Lit lie Rock team won this event last year in handy fashion. but the loss Of Ed England, who won the state cham pionship last spring. was keenly felt l by their team. Mr England was pre-. vented from attending this year at the last minute, after having made all
 arraneements to attend the tourna ment 10 defend his title
 Beginning this morning at SEQ o'clock the players will tee off every five minutes for the qualifying round. In view of the low scores turned in yesterday il would not be surprisin. if Mir. Craeer's record were broken.
 If it rains, however, the scores will not be as low as they were yester- | day afternoon, as the course will be l somewhat slower, and the greens not as true as usual. The competition this year is certain to be keener than l last, as the players are much more
 evenly matched Last spring. Eng land Of Little Rock and Watt of Helena stood out above the field. This year, however very few are ventur, ing an opinion as to the ultimate win ner, as there are any number of golf CTS cn hand who, with the breaks, '' are very apt to come through and win

Diplomats Say Swiss
Minister Is Blumng
Statement About Participation
in War Discounted in
Washington

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 Considera-
bic interest was manifested here to-day
in the statement Of the Swiss War
Minister at Berne yesterday that Amer
ica's par,icipation in the war increases
the possibility of final decision IN the
spring, and that if such situation de-
velops the danger Of Switzerland beng
drawn into the war will be greater than
ever.
In Entente diplomatic circles IL was
declared that the statement meant
nothing whatever"-that it was BLUM.
There was general impression that
tho sentiment in it was anti-Ally, and
in one quarter it was asserted that
should Switzerland enter the war she
would be attacked simultaneously by
Italy in the rear and by France on the
flank.
Previously il had been remarked at
the State Department. when the treat
ment of neutrals was under considera-
ton. that il was important to the Allies
that Switzerland should maintain her
neutrality, military experts afterward
stating that should Switzerland join the
Central Empires she would furnish
them a highway for dangerous opera
tions against France, on the one hand,
and Italy, on the other
German propaganda has been strong
in Switzerland, but officials here are
not inclined 10 believe that the policy
of the Swiss government has been ma
terially influenced by H.
