situation Ia Southwest.

4 situation which has developed in
the Southwest has attracted conSid-
cradle attention. The movement in the
bard winter wheat sections At the be-
ginning OF the season was large, due to
he fact that the crop was early, demand
Was acute and premiums were paid for
wheat at the beginning of the season, ow-
ing to the chortage of flour supplies
throughout the country. This soon dis
appeared, yet the enormous marketings
kept up to the extent that the country
sales of wheat during the latter parts OF
July and August were Of enormous pro
portions Some sections were swept bare
Of wheat, particularly in Missouri, Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Texas. That move
ment, steady grinding of -four since that
time and seeding OF large acreage for the
new crop have absorbed a Tremendous
amount OF kheat, and supplies available
in those States for mill requirements for
the balance OF the season are believed
10 be particularly short.

Expected Free Movement.

1t is understood that the mills have
contracts for -four based on 100 per cent
quality. to fill which they expected to
have free movement of wheat from the
country. That movement not materialiZ-
ing, partly owing to weather conditions
and partly because of scant supplies
which farmers still have 10 sell, re-
suited in their finding themselves
short Of wheat and having to pay cor
respondingly. The advance in the
price OF mill feed of SO to SEQ a
ton has helped them to con-
siderable extent as every dollar advance
in the price of mill feed has been equal
10 cents barrel change in the price OF
-four. Nevertheless the fact that they
are paying premiums of IL TO - cents a
bushels shows that they will be able to
make little profit out Of -four manufac-
tured on that basis, particularly az they
will be competing with mills making
flour on the basis OF the Government
base price in other sections of the coun-
try Prices prevailing in the southw est
undoubtedly will bring a large move

Carry your basket to market and

gestion of the ware industries board,

The return OF the market basket to

ure will save a vast amount OF paper.
since articles purchased can be placed
directly in the baskets, saving the ne
cessity Of wrapping them or placing
them In sacks,
But 1t is not the customers alone who
will be asked to save on paper. The
merchants have been asked to save on
wrapping paper by using such paper as
Is available from the packages that
come to them. They are asked to elm
mate as far as possible tissue paper
from packing. Fancy boxes and all 9TH
er pasteboard boxes for Christmas
packages are to go by the boards to as
great an extent as possible,
For correspondence the business men
are asked to use lighter grades OF pa
per and smaller envelopes, They are
asked to use half sheets for short let E
ters and to write on both sides of their
paper in longer epistles. When It is
necessary that carbon copies Of paper
be made they are requested to use the
backs Of old letters for record purposes,
Truly the newspaper world is not
lonesome in paper shortages.

SHOE DEALERS CUT
OUT COSTLY STYLE

Self-imposed regulations will prevent
shoe dealers from selling shoes for
more than SIC pair, after June J.,
1919. 1t was only after consulting with
the shoe dealers themselves that the
war industries board fixed shoe prices
and these will not apply to shoes OF
higher grades than the present VIZ
shoe. Other grades will be taken off
the market
Reuben Stiefel, president Of the Mem
phs Retail Shoe Dealers association,

issued this statement relative to the
shot situation:
In view Of the fact that the public
has been misinformed. regarding gov
ernment shoe regulations, it is the de-
sire OF the Memphis Retail Shoe Deal
ers association to give the true facts
and set the people right.
ITO begin with when the war IN
dustries board wished to regulate shoe
prices, the committees to work out the
proposition we're composed Of some OF
the leading manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers of shoes in this country
each forgetting personal interests, DO
Ing patriotic duty by working out a
plan to regulate shoe selling that would
meet the approval Of the war indus
tries board. They did this. and to our
knowledge, there has not been a dis
senting voice among the retail shoe

other hand, every retail shoe man in
this country has approved the regula-
tiona.

CONSTITUENTS WANT TO
KNOW WHO'S SENATOR

GRENADA, Miss. oct "a. (SpLD--
There Is joke on somebody concerning
the senator for this senatorial district.
Capt. j. A. Blount, now in overseas
service, was elected senator in 1915, but
resigned last fall after entering the
army A. NJ. Carothers was chosen as
Capt. Blount's successor at the elcc-
ton held in the district early In jan
uary. Carothers was present at the
sitting Of the legislature last January,
February and March. A few days ago,
however, the election commissioners Of
Grenada county received an order from
the state executive to hold an election
TO fill the vacancy caused by Senator
Blount's resignation.
Senator Carothers will no doubt want
judicial inquiry as to why he Is not
regarded as legally filling the place first
honored by Senator Blount or, perhaps
Carothers' constituents may desire to
know where he was at the last sitting
of the Legislature, when they thought
that he was in Jackson. Or, perhaps
the constituency of this district may
conclude that the governor of the state
rhas been keeping company with Rip
Van Wrinkle.
