ENGLAND AND ITALY
 REDUCE SHOE PRICES

There has already been drop in the prices charged by retailers for footwear in England in view of the governments action in placing on the market standardized shoes made at controlled rates of profit, accord ing to report to the United States department of agriculture.
 At a recent exhibition of "war- time" boots 39 samples were shown, ranging from heavy boots for cart CTS and iaborers to shoes for ordin- ary street use, and children's shoes The prices range from $2.06 to $6.3S a pair. The shoes are made entirely of leather and the retailers price is stamped on the shoes.
 Notwithstanding that England has to import practically all her hides, shoes are much cheaper in that coun- try than in the United States.
 In Italy the government has taken over the control of the system of making and selling shoes.

HIGH CLASS HEREFORDS AT
 AUVERGNE.

Messrs. Marvin and David Hare of Auvergne have recently joined the ranks of Arkansas Hereford breed CTS. As usual these gentlemen have gone out and bought the best.
 They were the largest buyers at the sale of Sid l.. Dodd, held at Hick- man, Ky, March 29th. In all they bought Is head of registered Here ford cattle, for total of $6,262.50.
 Included in these are some of the best bred cows in the entire South Patra ($1 ,000), Beauty Warden ($8O0) and Lillian ($600) are all splendic Herefords of the famous Rupert and Beau Wilton strain.
 Two 2-year old bulls were also bought as were also ten head of cows and calves. All these are on pasture and are apparently enjoying Arkan- sas treatment.
 The herd bull of the lot is vel worth additional mention. This bull Vernet Prince 454394, is son o1 Old Point Comfort the 14th, the bull owned by MT. Davis at Jackson Miss, who won the grand champion ship at the International Stock Show at Chicago.
 The dam of Vernet Prince was Dixie's Vanity, one of the famous Davis show herd. All the buyers al the sale were very anxious to own this well known son of the celebrated Point Comfort and MT. Hare was obliged to pay $2,500 to own him.
 These fine cattle are now at Au- vergne, in our own county, and all lovers of good livestock should make it point to see these Herefords. The purebred livestock business is inn proving all the time and some day buyers will come to Jackson county when they want to buy the best.

SOME REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT WILLIAM
 A. HODGES FOR CONGRESS

l Why William A. Hodges, candidate for congress in the Second Congress- ional District is in favor of Bank Guaranty Law for the protection of depositors.
 The Chemical National Bank of New York is one of the oldest and best known banks in the United States. It boasted of it's conserva- tiatism and caution; and yet it was found that it's late president, Vim. Martindale was for years a forger and embezzler. While he sat with the directors in council, he was secretly taking the money of the trusting de- positors. his stealings running up to $300,000. The remedy is the guar anty of depositors. If bank pres ident can deceive his directors and stockholders, what chance has de- positor to find out whether his mon- ey is safe? Guaranty would protect depositors from burglars on the in- side. Why not?
 Men come into my place of busi- ness every day with rolls of money. When asked why they do not deposit it in the bank, they say we have no assurance of ever getting it back again. The deposits would increase 25 per cent in the banks if we only had a Bank Guarantee Law.

FOOD DEALER AND CON-
 SUMERS.

Owing to the fact that a number of persons have barrels of flour which have been partially used but still con- tain more than the amount allotted to each consumer, some confusion has arisen as to whether the excess con- .tained in these broken barrels should be returned. A very large per cent of persons Gin fact it has been almost unanimously, who have reported ex- cess quantities in broken barrels to their credit have generally ex- pressed willingness to take it back.
 True this condition brings about additional trouble and expense both to the consumer and to the dealer, but can we not afford to bear it will ingly and cheerfully? What is this little trouble and expense as com pared to the desperate needs of our allies.
 l very respectfully urge all persons to comply, in good faith, as nearly as possible, with the request of Ithe food department and return all ex- cess quantities of flour whether from broken barrels or not.
 We are now limited to one and half pounds per person per week, or six pounds per person per month, as shown by the order from the state food administrator published today. Tn my judgment the per capita basis is the most equitable basis upon which the matter can be placed.
 I cannot refrain from congratulat- ing the people of Jackson county up- on the fact that such large per ccntage of our population is endeav- bring, in good faith, to aid the gov ernment in the conservation of food l hope it will ultimately become un- aninous.
