rotary of Commerce an interdepart-
mental conference was held to take up
the matter of uniform. contracts and
cost accounting definitions and methods
for the government. taking up the mat
ter especially as it deals with war con-
tracts.
After considering these matters for
some time and having consulted with
business men the conference has recon-
mended that in every instance where
fair terms can be obtained contracts
should be in the form of straight pur-
hase-and-sale contracts at fixed prices.
Also that standard form of straight
purcha Sc and sale contract at a fixed
price be adopted for use wherever prac-
ticable containing special war clauses.
The conferees also recommended that
a definite sum OF money per article be
agreed upon instead of percentage OF
cost Also II was agreed that in cost
plus contracts the fixed profit agreed
on be subject to adjustment. so that
the contractors may share in the saw
ing Of or be charged with part of the
excess of, actual cost over estimated
cost And the conferees also recon-
mended that a standard form of cost
plus contract be adopted for use wher-
ever practicable.
The chief purpose of these recon-
mendatfons is to assist the purchasing
departments of the government and
manufacturers and contractors who
are contracting on a "cost-plus profit"
plan. or on a "hxed-price" plan. in

B BATTLING NELSON
\ Big Feature With the Yankee Rob
 insOn Show.

Circus owners are forever on the lookout for real worthy attractive fea- ture celebrities, big thrilling acts and meritorious added attractions. in ad- dltion to the regulation arena pro- gram and an extensive menagerie that alone costs thousands of dollars and IS only mentioned incidentally.
 Expense is no consideration when the right circus headline can be se- cured. Fred Buchanan, manager of the Yankee Robinson 3-Ring Wild Animal circus, announces fir this sea- sons tour, the greatest added feature attraction that any tented organiza- tion has ever offered the generous patrons of any arena program in cir GUS history.
 Battling Nelson, the champion light weight of the prize ring, is a clean cut example of the sturdy youth, has al- ways eschewed bad habits. for he has never chewed, smoked or used liquor or disspated in any form.
 The Great Dane has participated in over 300 ring battles during his twen- ty years as a professional fighter. Nelson is wealthy man today and a genuine credit to the scientific doc Urine of clean living, an object lesson to all men and boys of the nation.
 Outside of the largest cities this will be the first appearance of the champion of the fstc arena whose clean record, both in his profession and in private life, never in his en- tire career implicated or involved in any shady or dishonest transaction. classes him as a man among men.
 Battling Nelson, the greatest of all champions, with his sparring part ners and company of trainers. is the principal attraction at the big athletic show, and will appear twice daily in Prescott with the Yankee Robinson Wild Animal Circus on Tuesday. Oc- tober 30.

A CORRECTION GLADLY MADE

We noticed an item in the Arkansas Gazette few days ago relative to pumpkin which was grown by a resi-. dent of Little Rock and which was said by the writer of the article to he the largest pumpkin grown in the state. Now of course the writer eth. CT was never out on farm in Nevada county or else he wanted little pub- licity for Little Rock as a farming community" or it may have been for other reasons.
 But anyway we want to "get that person right" as to large size pump kin, and we don't claim to have the largest one grown in the state, be- cause there may be others equally as large and there is a remote possibil- ity of there heing one larger. How ever, there is "punkin' on display in the show window of the City Grocery in this city which weighs exactly S$ pounds, It was grown on the B. F. Chapel place two miles north of Pres colt by H. Blanton, who is now living on this farm. It will be placed on ex- hibit at the Fair at Hope and will probably capture blue ribbon with ont n,ovipk ont of ifs trcls which wouldn't be the first nor second win ner that was sent from old Nevada county. You might take a look at this natural wonder before it goes to Hope and you are forced to pay to see it.

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
 Relieved by Black-Draught.

Rossville, Ga. Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of this place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- urcd himself with a piece of heavy ma chinery, across the abdomen He was so sore he could not bear to press on himself at all on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became conStipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink t two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swOl- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

It was hard fought game on both sides, though Prescott's line was rather weak at times.
 Prescott gained most of her ground by Gordon's line plunges and Rose mans end runs. Haynie and Hamil- ton made good gains with forward passes. Gordon. Graham and Parker were the star offensive players, being. in most every tackle that was made
 Touchdowns for Prescott were made by Gordon through the line and Haynie with forward pass. Haynie kicked one goal.
 The following was the lineup for Prescott
 B. Haynie, l e; c. Graham, t; Ste wart, l 2; L. Huskey, c; S. Hamilton, r e; F. Parker, r t; D. Scott, r 2; T. Bemis, captain, h.; E. billiard. h.; w. Roseman, f b; W. Gordon, q b.
 Captain Bemis was hurt in the 1st quarter, which weakened Prescott's back field considerably. Texarkana made all of her gains by long end runs and forward passes.
 Owing to the fact that this was Prescott's first game of the season. the boys assure the football fans that they will put up a much bettr game next week which will be played on the high school campus.

Prescott is witnessing one of the biggest business booms in her his tory, which is partially brought about by the excellent price our buyers are paying for cotton and seed. Of course you will hear people say that the buy CTS here are 'hoging" them out of two or three cents a pound on their cotton, but when figures of Prescott's buyers are compared with those of any other town in South Arkansas where the same grade cotton is marketed, it has been proven that buyers here pay as much as any other place. The enor- mously big price paid by some towns wher long staple prevails, cause the short cotton growers to wonder if they are being treated right, but after figures and grades are compared, Pres colt is doing her share, so don't be misled.
