gram will be Miss Barry1n crea-

VS. OF MEN AND WOMEN IN MOTION PICTURE WORLD
OVERPAID STARS
UNDERMINE MOVIES

William A, Brady has resigned as
director-eeneral of the world film
Cornora+ion In his letter of resig-
nation he stated he had found the
work of producing pictures Tor week
W. ,,o1oord, too onerous and he found
II inonoseio1e to devote Suthclent time
RI o+1,or important interests. In
fn+,,ro II was announced, he will de-
yo+o himself exclusively to the pro-
dnction of special features.
Mr. Brady says he leaves the place
of director-g general of the corpora
ton in an entirely fri>>lly spirit and
will continue his association as
member of the board of directors.
Asked if there was any reason other
than the demands upon his time
which actuated him in resigning, he
said:-
Yes, my arrangement with the
World Film called for a guarantee of
100000 a year. That arrangement
was made when times were good
when all the motion picture manu-
facturers were making money hand
over fist. Those times are past.
Many picture theaters are closed,
with a serious loss Of revenue re-
sulting, and conditions today are far
from healthy. They are little short
Of chaotic.
cit is high time that some Of the
woefuIly overpaid stars and motion
picture executives. whose salaries to-
day impose a practically overwhelm-
ing burden on the producer, should
wake up and come down to earth.
Otherwise the future Of the industry,
and particularly their future, is some
thing they can we'll worry about.
tWhile I have resigned as active
head of the World Film, my interest
in the welfare of the organization is
as great as ever, and I shall contin-
ue to serve as a member of the board
Of directors and to give such aid to
further the interests of the company
as may be in my power"

PLENTY OF BABIES FOUND

Maurice Tourneur, the French di-
rector who is producing Maeter-
linclz's blue Bird for Aircraft at
the Famous Players-Lasky studies in
Fort Lee, N. J., is authority for the
statement that there is no shortage
in the baby crop this year.
One of the scenes in 1.-The Blue
Bird is the Azure Palace, where
multitudes of unborn children await
their advent upon the earth. Mr..
Tourneur anticipated difficulty in
getting enough infants for the. big
scene, and advertised the fact that
he could use all the babies that were
brought to the studio. On the ap-
pointed day Fort Lee residents must
have thought it rained babied, for they
came in droves, accompanied Of course,
by their mothers. Infants in arms,
in go-carts, in baby carriages, began
to arrive at the studio in q, stream
that seemed never ending.
Evidently the babies did not under
stand that they were scheduled to
appear in the "silent DRAMA for
when they got inside the studio one
-lunged youngster evidently
destined to be a second Caruso-de-
livered a vocal selection in which he
was joined by the rest of the throng,
and soon the studio resounded with
the chorus.
There were babies OF all rationale
ties, but the Esperanto of baby1and
seemed to have been mastered by all,
for they seemed to have no difficulty
in carrying the song they were sing
ing. Director Tourneur and his as
sistants stuffed their ears with cot
ton and took the scene as quickly as
possible.

DEMIMe FIRsr CLASS OFFICE.
Change Is Based on Stamp Sales for
the Year Of ~.

Postmaster W. =. Foulks received
notification last Saturday from the
department at Washington to the ef-
feet that Deming will be a first class
pOstoffice beginning July LIST. The
new classification is based on the re-
ceipts from stamp sales for the year
1917, which amounted 10 $4,000,
more than double the necessary fig
ure, which is $4,000. As the camp
does not figure in the first half Of
this business it Is evident that there
is little or no chance for the figure To
be any lower in 1918.
The change in classification will
give the Deming office many advant-
ages il does not enjoy as second
class office, chief Of which viii prob
ably be a new building, though that
will have to wait till after the war,
The usual increase in the salary Of
the postmaster must also wait tn the
war is over.
The 100000 mentioned does not in
clude the sale Of revenue stamps, saw
ings stamps, or anything but the reg
nlar postage stamps, postcards and
stamped envelopes.

The Largest Mercantile Business In Lonok
 County.
Conduct The largest Furnishing Bsness In Arkansas and Garry Immense
 Stock Of Everything Needed in The Line.

The ebb and flow of commerce makes and unmakes the prestige of cities and their influence over the commerce of states. Modern busi- ness methods are not what they were generation ago, and places like England which are fortunate in possessing establishments like that of the J. B. Duncan Company, who keep abreast of the business currents and who take advantage of opportu- nity to push ever and ever ahead in their line of business are the places which ride the crest of the f1ood-tide of commercial success. And as one opportunity begets another in almost widening influence, so do such enter prising firms grow upward and ever stronger in securing their own op- pulence and success and in helpful ness to the town or city in which they are located. The foregoing is truly applicable to the long and successful business career of the J. B. Duncan Company who conduct the leading mercantile business of Lonoke coun- ty and the largest concern of it's kind in the state of Arkansas
 This house was established by J. B. Duncan in 1898 and does general furnishing business, covering a very large area. Their various depart ments are complete and embrace groceries, hardware, furniture, dry goods, farm implements, buggies, wagons, etc. The building that houses the business was erected by J. B. Duncan and covers two floors 50 by 40 feet, filled to completion. Every part of the floor space is con- veniently arranged in an orderly

way, so that the many lines may be easily inspected by the customer. The building is equipped with an elevator capable of carrying heavy implements and wagons and the sec ond floor is equipped with shower baths and toilets for the benefit of the employees.
 In addition to their large store the J. B. Duncan Co.,, have three ware houses in which to carry their surplus stock and implements. Two are located at the rear of the store and cover 25 by 60 and 9 by 75 feet and one is located on Main street which covers a space of 100 by 14O feet. They are also large dealers in cotton

for the market and handle about 25O0 bales annually.
 There is no better known business in this part of the state and their stock embraces nearly everything under the sun. It is known as the "store of quality" and has grown to it's present proportions from small beginning.
 J. B. Duncan is an exceptional business man and is very public spir- ited in matters pertaining to the up- building of the community. He is vice president of the Bank of Eng land and owns considerable of city property. He is surrounded by wide circle of friends.

Buys Cotton and Cotton Seed Paying Highest Market Prices

In a neighborhood where there a-s many business houses of the sane character there has to be sound reasons for the success of any one man. Among the facts that count chiefly with the public is reasonable prices and reliable goods and when these rules are maintained there is every prospect that patrons will soon realize it and give their confidence and trade to the concern that lives up to these standards.
 This is the reputation that has made W. Somers so popular as 2 trading place in England and so well known for miles around its location. Their stock includes everything needed in this section, from the heavy farming implements to the smallest bolt, and everything for the home and table, including dry goods, shoes, hats, millinery, groceries, hard ware, saddlery, etc Federal tires and automobile accessories.
 W. J. Somers has been interested in business in England since 1902 In 1909, he established his present business, which has increased every year and he is continually adding to its efficiency stock and equipment. It occupies two stores, covering space of 50 by 100 feet with ware house room sufficient to carry surplus stock and implements.
 In connection with this business, ". J. Somers conducts a first-class
