FUN TO BLOW
 UP AMMUNITION
LITTLE ROCK HARDWARE SALES. MAN DETAILED TO THAT TASK WITH ARMv OF OCCUPATION AFTER
 ARMISTICE.

It. L. Alexander, salesman for the Brandon Turner Company has return ed from France and Germany after an extended service ill the ammuni tion department which terminated in the assignment to demolish surplus ammunition of the Allied and Ger man armies in the fighting zone. It Alexander supervised the destruction of millions of dollars worth of am. intuition, rendered useless through the cessation of hostilities and too expensive to salvage.
 Lt Alexander was graduated from the first officers training school at Camp Logan H. Roots, and after a short service here, was detailed to Camp Mcclellan, near Anniston, Ala, and afterwards served a short time at Camp Hancock, near Augusta, be- fore going overseas. Almost imme- diately after his arrival he was de- ytailed to ammunition service. and after a course in training was moved up to the First Army, serving there until the signing of the armistice. It. Alexander was in Paris on the day the armistice was signed, and enjoyed the celebration.
 Alter the signing of the ar1nistice the demolition forces were directed to destroy all ammunition up to the largest, it being more economical to destroy than to salvage 1t. At the beginning the small arms and gren ades alone were to be destroyed, but the trucks hauling it back were so heavily loaded they cut the roads too badly and gradually the orders for destruction were given until only the very heaviest shells were left.
 We did not use electricity for any of this work" says Lt Alexander the slow time fuse being sufficient. We had to gather up what the Allied Army left first, but before anything could be done we had to use our forces tc bury the dead, which re- mained on the field We had several companies of white soldiers, and great many more negro soldiers from labor battalions. They were put to work in squads under white soldiers, and we blew up great quantities of ammunition every day.
 "The Germans held one sector in front of Verdun to the very last, and they left great quantities of ammuni. ton nicely piled. It was convenient here to the line that had given away, as we'll as the part held, hence the large accumulation. Ammunition is stored in piles, with a heavy layer of naTth between, to save fhe other piles should one be exploded by a shell.

NO STARCH IN
 GROUND SUGAR
THAT OFFERED FOR SALE IN THIS SECTION IS GROUND FROM GRADUATED SUGAR AND IS THE PURE
 ARTICLE.

Many people have in recent years declined to purchase pulverized sugar, laboring under the impression that it was adulterated with starch or some other compound which les sened the sweetness of the article. Those who hold this impression in the Little Rock territory, have missed considerable in the past few ears be- cause of their ignorance. A greater portion of the powdered sugar sold in this territory is ground from gran ulated sugar in Little Rock, and is as pure as sugar. can be.
 Because of the shortage of sugar, we have been forced to stop grinding it." says Henry G. Leiser, of the \. Karcher Candy Company we have been able to secure enough sugar to keep our candy department busy, but in recent years we have ground much sugar into pulverized sugar which de partment of our factory is now shut down.
 "This is quite an inconvenience to bakers, where large quantities are used in making icings for cakes.
 q do not anticipate any shortage of sugar to force our factory to shut down, or to be even crippled. It is not long now before the Christmas rush commences, and we will need all the sugar we can get then.
 "I believe the most of the powder ed sugar sold in Little Rock terri tory is ground right here, and it is all unadulterated granulated sugar, which is put through practically the same process as making flour from wheat. There is no reason for adul- terating, and l can assure the public that nothing of that kind has ever been done in our factory. We would be glad to show our customers how pulverized sugar is made at any time"

AN
 ACCESSIBILITY
ONE WHOLESALE HOUSE COULD FEED LITTLE ROCK FOR TWO MONTHS WITHOUT CALLING
 ON ITS RESERVE SUPPLY.

"A food famine" queried w. Ii Lange, in charge of the shipping de- partment of the Scott-Mayer Com mssion Company, after perusing Q rather sensational story in metro politan paper, Why such thing would be impossible ill the Little Rock territory.
 we have right here in this house, enough food to keep Little Rock going for two months, without calling on our warehouses, or any of the other wholesale groceries contributing q thing. This is not hoarding either it is our regular stock of merchan- disc, the stock we must carry to meet tho demands of our trade.
 If the railrods all shut down We could truck it out to the towns in eur territory and keep thing going. People may be inconvenienced, but they will not be subjected to actual want"
 Persons not familiar with the whole sale grocery business have no idea how great a stock of merchandise they must carry in order to keep the peo- ple of this section "well fed up" The Scott Mayer Commission Company occupies a three-story building. with a basement underneath the entire build ing.

SEAT COVERS
 ARE IMPROVED
cRoW-BuRLlNGAME COMPANY HAS "LoosE LEAF" SYSTEM THAT IS SURE TO BECOME
 VERY POPULAR.

The day of $25 and $50 automobile seat covers has passed, unless the owner of the car just wants to doll his machine all up in an interior fin ish. Seat covers are primarily to protect the clothing of the persons riding in the car, but in order to make them more slightly, manufactu- rers of the covers made them to hide the entire interior from sight. This did not add to the comfort of thf car, or to the wearing qualities of the cushions.
 Now comes a simple solution of the problem of high priced seat covers by the appearance of a set of slips forthe cushions which will protect the ex- posed portions. There may be taken off in a minute, washed at home and replaced by an inexperienced person. The old covers could not be taken on and off at home, and had to be sent out for cleaning.
 The Crow-Burlingame Company which wholesale automobile accesso- ries. has made very heavy purchase of the new covers and will within week or ten days begin supplying the trade with them.

SUGAR PRICES
 NOT ADVANCED
WHOLESALERS ARE GETTING SAME PRICE AND GOVERN MENT MAY BE FORCED TO
 TAKE A HAND AGAIN.

We are not asking more for SUI gar because there is a shortage, de clared one of Little Rocks leading grocers this week, "and it is probable that the government may be forced to take hand to prevent an unjust distribution of what sugar we are able to get.
 "The government is still in control of the sugar crop. as it is controlling wheat and it's products. The sugar refners have been called on for mil lions of sacks for European trade and the government is seeing that this is delivered. We are getting little SUI gar, just as all other markets are get ting just enough to get them by. The distribution of sugar over the United States is being done as equitably as possible, and we are getting our share. We sell it for fixed price, and it does not go up because there is not enough to give everybody all they can use
 q really believe the government will before long be issuing sugar cards. We have never had sugar cards in this part of the country, for our system of distribution did not de mand it. Some retailers have seen fit to take advantage of the condition.
