n,rc1NESS A BATTLE OF BRAINS

If two armies with equal numbers
 r mon and the same make of guns,
 ao conouers the other. Why? Be- .anse of it's men. Of two business honses side by side, with the same .or;nment and stock, one succeeds and tbe other fails. Why? Because of it's men.
 Take two merchants, A and B, in .n average town. They carry the .ome line of goods, general merchant diso perhaps, and each has a stock roIned at $40,000. A sells his goods o+ q 10 per cent profit and turns his stock over once a year. His annual nroft is S4,O00. B is content with a nro6t of & per cent and spends 2 per conf for advertising. As a result B coils s65.OOO worth of goods in the year. Eight per cent is $5,200, or 13 TOT cent of his capital stock. His overhead expense, salaries, rent, heat, Eght. etc., is no greater than that of his neighbor and he has not charged any more for his goods. Yet, in the same length of time he has made his capital stock of $40,000 earn him s1.2O0 more than his competitor Who will win this battle? The merchant who uses every available influence for success-the man who has learned that advertising speeds the turnover and lowers the cost of distribution.
 This will be the theme of the great convention of the Associated Adver- Using Clubs of the World to be held in St. Louis June 3rd to Eth next. Many of America's biggest business men will be present to discuss this subject which is of such vital interest to every merchant.
 What is the value to the merchant of an idea that will insure the success of his business? At this greatest of all business conventions, merchants can secure the ideas-the ammunition that will make them the victors in their fields. It will be worth to any merchant many. many times the cost of the trip and it is near home this year, much nearer perhaps than for many years to come.

LUMBER COMPANIES WOULD
 EMPLOY WOMEN IN MILLS

Little Rock, May 23.-The Crosset Lumber Company, as well as several others in the state, have expressed a desire to employ women in some of the lighter occupations about the mills to take the place of men who are en- listing in the military service. They have been in correspondence with the State Labor Bureau with reference to the law, so that there may be no vio- latlon of the law through a misunder- standing of the statutes.
 An apparent conflict was found in the minimum wage and the child labor laws.
 The child labor law, passed Jan. 1, 1915, provides: No boy or girl un- der the age of eighteen years shall be employed, permitted or suffered to work for more than six days in any week or more than 54 hours in any Week, nor more than ten hours in any one day"
 The minimum wage law, approved March, 1915, provides that: "No fe- male shall be employed in any manu- iaeturng, mechanical or mercantile eStaollshment, laundry, in this state, TOT more than nine hours in any one uay' or more than six days, or more 'hah 54 hours in any one week"
 The minimum wage act, being the most recent, repeating all laws in conflict with it, repeals that portion !" the child labor law which would nave permitted the working of girls 'e'"een the ages of 16 and IS years 'e" hours a day, making it unlawful to work them more than nine.

The clergyman who officiated at the college girls wedding recently christ ened her first baby.
 "She is girl of the most original and practical ideas" smiled the min ister. AS rule babies fairly howl while they are being christened, but this one was as quiet as lamb. Re- marking on it later, said to the mo- ther:
 "'Mrs. Douglas, I must congratulate you on the little ones behavior. I have christened several hundred ba- bes, but I have never before christ ened one that behaved so well as yours
 "No wonder he behaved we'll the young mother replied complacently. His father and I, with a pail of water, have been practicing christening him for the past two weeks.

CHAUTAUQUAS BOOST
 THE LIBERTY LOAN

The Chautauquas are to promote the sale of the Loberty Loan bonds.
 Charles F. Horner, president of the Chautauqua and Lyceum Managers Association, announced upon his re- turn from a conference with govern ment officials at Washington, D. C.. that the government has a definite and important task for the Chautau- quas this season, in connection with the war, No other agency of similar magnitude offers the opportunity to so effectively place before the people patriotic sentiments and means of furthering the Liberty Loan. For this reason MT. Horner, as president of the Chautauqua and Lyceum Man agers' Association, has mailed let ter to all Chautauqua managers throughout the United States, as we'll as to all Redpath- -Horner Chautauoua orators, musicians, entertainers, SUD- erintendents, supervisors, crew boys, advance agents, office people and all other employees, asking their complete cooperation in the movement.
 The entire force of thousands of people throughout the United States engaged in Chautauqua work are urged to not only promote the sale of the bonds, by their influence, and by a short talk at the Chautauqua pro- grams, but are urged to themselves buy as many of the bonds as their funds will permit. MT. Horner offers to loan the money without interest to employees of the Redpath- -Horner Chautauquas who desire to purchase bonds but have not the ready money.
 The Chautauqua, always move ment for better morals, better living, better communities, cleaner politics and higher ideals, now has very de- finite purpose in promoting patriot ism and devotion to country and the messages of the patriotic lecturers all through the country from the Chau- tauqua platform has been recognized by the government as mighty force. The first response to MT. Horner's appeal showed ready willingness of the Chautauqua forks to do their duty in this regard. As
 That Chautauqua employees are pa- triotic in enlisting as well as in sub- scribing to the loans is indicated by the large number of folks who have already resigned different positions to join the army. The New York World on May 18th said:
 "The ranks of organizations which have offered their facilities to the government to aid in making the loan a success were augmented today by the Chautauqua speakers. Charles F. Horner of Kansas City, on behalf of a large Chautauqua organization, of fered his services in bringing the Liberty Loan to the attention of audi ences of 6,000 towns and cities throughout the country. That offer was accepted"
