REDUCTION IN THE
 PRICE Of DRY GOODS
Beal.Burrow Company of Little Rock Shows Lower Prices Re.
 cently Announced.

There has been a lot said in the na- pers lately about government price regulations of dry goods, but at this time no prices have been promulgated except on 36-inch brown sheetine, which price we promptly and gladly met on the 20th of July and since that time have been billing out at the re- duced price, regardless of the price the goods were sold for, as follows: Panama A Sheeting -15hc Walhalla A Sheeting. .lSbc Columbia A Sheeting. g........-........2 .20c Velvet A Sheeting ..21c
 These prices are 3 to cents per yard cheaper than before government made prices.
 All goods billed prior to July 20 must stand as sold. In this connec- tion. we would like to see prices re- duced all along the line, and we ara perfectly willing at all times to sell them on small profit on the replace ment cost. If dry goods were now re. duced we would still have this small profit and it would stabilize our busi- ness as we'll
 In looking over the list of our tre- mendous stock, we find a few things which we can sell to other jobbers for great deal more money than we will offer them to you. We reserve the right to accept or reject any or ders either in the house CT on the road. In fact we don't want too much business on these items at these prices and they are made for stock on hand only.

BRITISH OPERATING
CRUISER SUBMARINES

London, May 27.--Thc sinking of a
German submarine by British sub
marine off Cape St. Vincent shows
that the British have cruising subma~
rines, and this is only one incident
where submarine has sunk sub
marine, says Archibald. Hurd in The
Daily Telegraph. The Cape st. Vim
cent incident took place more than
1000 nautical miles from Plymouth.
"In neutral countries" the naval
critic continues, "it has been assumed
that only the Germans could build
submarines capable Of operating far
out in the Atlantic. Conclusive cvi-
dence is now supplied that we also
possess submarines which can cruise
far afield, remaining at sea many
days on end without rcfillng and re-
