Facts About
NEPONSET
Floor Covering

NEPONSET floor covering is a
development of. and an improve
ment over, other printed linol-
Gums. 1t is for the same purpose
of covering a door, concrete or
other hard floor material with a re-
silent comfortable. beautiful and
sanitary fabric.
The makers claim it superior to
printed linoleumS in two distinct
ways:
First, its base of waterproof felt
fabric is in its nature more adaptable
for covering than the cork and bur
lap materials used in linoleumS. The
felt is pliable and, when laid, hugs
the floor. 1t is resilient, thus resist
ing wear of the printed surface. 1t
is waterproof; moisture and water
do not affect it-thus preventing
buckling under changing atmosphere
conditions
Second, it is fabric exactly
similar to other printed linoleumS
in appearance and, if anything,
olHNllOl III W al dl d NOilSlNGi dhl n
lower price-by the use of an en-
tirely different and improved base,
it costs less to manufacture.
The cost of other printed floor
coverings has largely limited its use
to the kitchen. One can afford to
use NEPONSET in many other
rooms. 1t is with this in mind that
the NEPONSET patterns have been
designed, this one for the living
room. that one for the bedroom and
another for the kitchen, and so on.
Finally. the user is absolutely pro-
tected by the good old-fashioned guar
antee of satisfaction. which goes with
every yard of NEPONSET floor covering
backed as it is by one of New England's
oldest manufacturers
NEPONSET Rug Border is designed
for bordering around your rugs-it fits
close to your wall The excellence Of
the design and color produces the effect
of an expensive hardwood floor
There are two types to choose from.
NEPONSET Rug Border is made i'm
both 24-inch ard 36-inch widths. of the
same materials as the Floor Covering.

have their effect on sales, particularly
on articles that the public can con-
veniently do without.
To sum up, it may be said that there
has been a slight slackening in gen.
eral business, due in part to the un-
seasonable weather, in part to the in
creased cost of merchandise, and in
part to the campaign for economy
Index figures on the cost Of living
show an advance.
Reports from Louisville, Indie ate
that the lumber trade has been some
what handicapped by high prices, but
manufacturers of axe handles, ETC., re-
port heavy orders on hand, although
this is usually their dull season.
The temperature for the last half of
April and the first half of May was
below the normal turnout the entire
district. The rainfall during this
same period, generally speaking, was
above the normal. The agricultural
development has accordingly been
somewhat retarded but rain was need
ed for sufficient sub-soil moisture ane
with favorable weather conditions
from now on, it is believed that the
agricultural outlook will improve.

eral.. feeling Of conversation and in
part to the cold and rainy weather
which was prevalent thruout the dis
trict up to the middle Of May. Dry
goods jobbers report that the demand
for merchandise is not so insistent as
it has been for months past. Whole
sale millinery houses have been affect
ed by the cold wet spring. Manufac-
turers of ladies and mems ready-to-
wear garments have had a very salts
factory season, but the distribution of
this merchandise to the geenral public
has been delaped. The hardware in
terests report a strong and active
trade. Retail merchants in all lines
seem to have been affected by unsea-
sonable weather up to the middle of
May, but business since that date is
reported to be extremely satisfactory
and sales for May will show increases
over year ago. The gains in dollars
now reported seem to be entirely due
to the increased cost of merchandise
and not to an increase in the quality
shipped. The buying power of the
general public continues at high lev.
ell but high prices are beginning to

On May 8th, the government issued
it's report of conditions of crops as of
May LIST. The wheat report showed an
unusually large percentage of acre
age abandoned and an unusually low
percentage of condition for the coun-
try at large. The reports on the wheat
crop in the states wholly or in part
within this district were somewhat
more encouraging than reports from
other sections of the country. The
percentage Of acreage abandoned in
the larger wheat producing sections of
the district was on the average small
err than in other sections of the coun-
try; the nercentage Of condition show
ed an improvement as compared to the
April LIST, reports; and the forecast for
the 1917 harvest from the May LIST
condition, was larger than the final
estimate for 1916. It cannot be said
that the condition of the wheat crop
is satisfactory in this district; at the
same time it is believed that the pros
poets are better than have been hith-
erto supposed. =.
Favorable reports are received from
the tobacco districts of Kentucky and
Tennessee.

necessary and the high cost OF seet
; makes this a hardship. In an etfor
to overcome the ravages OF the Dol
weevil, farmers have endeavorded tt
plant a large percentage OF their acre
age in early maturing varieties. Inc
high cost of provisions and the scar
city of labor, will undoubtedly IN
crease the cost of production of the
1917 crop and this may be factor in
the acreage planted, although present
prices are very tempting to planters
Reports on business in general IN the
cotton belt are satisfactory, one cor
respondent writing as follows: 1--WE
are glad to report that our farmers
are planting a good part of their land
in grain Notwithstanding the abnor-
NAL conditions which confronts us, we
feel safe in giving liberal credit to our
customers, as we have done in former
years." The stock of cotton on hand
| in Memphis on May 18th is still un-
usually large for this time of the year.
The stock on this date amounts to 297
thousand bales as compared to 1856
thousand on the same date in 1916;
12O thousand in 1915 and 80 thousand
in 1914.
The Nay 1st condition. of rye as re-
ported in the government crop re-

acreage planted this year in the
states within this district is gener
ally larger than that harvested in
1916; the percentage Of condition is

Spring blowing and spring planting

Reports indicate that the corn crop
is developing in satisfactory man
ner. South of the Missouri river
considerable corn is UP and in some
sections fields have been worked over
once The cold wet weather which
was prevalent up to few days ago,
has retarded the growth. Some
counties report that corn had rotted
in the ground and replanting was
necessary.
In an effort to increase the produc-
ton Of food stuff, the growing of al

The movement of the strawberry cror
is now in full swing. Shipments from

South Shipping Produce:
Lettuce cabbage, onions and other
truck farm products a1e being snip
ped from the Southern portions OF the
district. The outlook for the small
fruit crops is generally good, the ap-
ple outlook being particularly bright.
The st. Louis National Stock yards
reports an increase in the receipts of
cattle and hogs for the month of April
and a decrease in the receipts of sheep
and horses and mules. For the first
time in several months the price of
hogs has not shown material in
crease.
Building permits in Louisville, Lit
tie Rock and Memphis show a de-
crease for the month Of April as COM
pared to April, 1916, while St. Louis
shows an increase for the same month.
The high cost of building materials is
having a deterrent effect on building
activity and that in turn has affected
the business of those supplying build
ing materials.
Postal receipts in the four large
cities of the district confirm the gen.
eral slackening up Of business, Lit
tie Rock, Louisville and St. Louis
showing decrease as compared to a
year ago and Memphis showing al
slight increase.
Compilations of gross and net rail-
road earnings which are now available
again show the discrepancy between
the increase of gross and net earn
ings. The increased cost of material
and labor is affecting the net earn
ings of many Of the railroads. Rail-
coads in this district have Joined in

their resources and equipment for
government purposes, and regulations
with that object in view are now be-
ing put into effect.

Business interests in this district
have held their own in the face of the
preparations for our active particlpa-
ton in the war. Reports from all lines
of business, other than those direct
ly connected with war munitions, in
dictate somewhat quieter condition
than reported for the past few months
Reports all indicate a very healthy
condition and there is a remarkable
feeling of confidence in the future but
at the same time, war preparations
have had a SOLDERING effect. Business
men are operating on somewhat more
conservative basis.
The certificates of indebtedness
which were subscribed for by men,
Der and non-member banks in this dis
trict, have been to very large extent
distributed to the general public, and
should materially assist in floating the
Liberty Loan.
Details of the Liberty Loan were
announced a few days previous to this
writing. The organization Of the
banking interests of the district, has
now been completed; the necessary
steps have been taken to organize 9TH
er interest thruout the district, and
q campaign for the success of the
loan, under the slogan "A Liberty
Bond in Every Home" which origi-
mated in St. Louis, is we'll under way.

Of various campaigns then being con-
