SCARCITY OF NAILS
Building at Texarkana Stops on Ac-
count of No Nails.

Texarkana, Oct. 17.-Work on the
which has been out of commission for
several months, was suddenly halted
yesterday on account of inability of
the city to obtain 6O-penny nails with
which to fasten down the flooring
There has been much delay in secur-
ing lumber and when this recently
was secured it was thought the via
duct would be soon ready again for
use. 1t was discovered that not a
dealer in the city had the kind OF
nails that are necessary for mailing
down the floor and fastening other
timbers in their place.

Miller County Farmers Find
Sheep Raising Profitable

Texarkana, Oct. 18.-"Home grown
sweaters are a unique departure in the
agricultural activities of Miller coun-
ty but that the venture has proven
big success is attested by the perfor-
nance of Harvey Bedgood of the Tri-
genta community, who exhibited his
products at the Trigenta fair.
A little over two years ago, Mr. Bed
good purchased four sheep, and In
making a recent balance of his profits
resulting from the transaction, found
that, during that time, including the
sale of three sheep, he has made a
clean profit from the wool of the ami
al flock augmented by two additions
to the family. His exhibit was one OF
the most interes ting at the fair, in
Guiding the raw fleece, as clipped, and
display of home made articles made
from the original wool, among the
sweaters of a value, if purchased in
the market, of from So to $40 each.
His original purchase cost him $40 and
he has not expended cent for the up
keep of his flock, he said, which sus

The Trigenta fair, which was held
at the Trigenta school house yester-
day, was one of the best, it is declar
ed, of the community fairs which has
been held in Miller county in years,
among the prize winners being Mr..
Bedgood, for the best home product
actually raised by the entrant, with
Susie Mansker and earn Brunner Sec

The Central fair, the last of the

being held with splendid line of ex-
hibits of all classes today. Miss Gladys
Norwood of Ashdown, county home
demonstration agent of Little River
county, arrived today to act one OF
the Judges, and will remain to help
Miss Owens at the Miller county dis

tice factors of consumption which may
have been discounted previously.
So vast a decline, such as only the
severest stages of financial panics
brought in the past, must have car
ried many necessities close to the
cost in production, even below in some
cases, and this should forecast an
early period of stability. The rise
of numerous industrial company
shares in the last few days have in
dicated an impression that the worst
period of liquidation was over. And
it is reasonable to expect, in the light
of other periods of commodity market
street, tina. once a stable condition
arrives there will be some weeks or
months of quiet, normal buying and
selling in which producer and consum-
er both can take fairly accurate count
of his future prospects and future
needs.

LOWER PRICES have
COME BACK TO STAY
Big Industrial Firms Recognize It
Farmers Protesting in
Vain.

New York, Oct. 17.-With the eX-
ception Of cotton and grain growing
interests, producers have cast aside
thoughts of a price recovery to the
levels of last years "boom" figures
or to the maximum quotations of the
past spring and summer. The days
of extraordinary prices and of unusu-
al profits are conceded to be over To
this extent the state of after-war re-
adjustment has been completed. AS
sentiment has much to do with the
preparation of plans foI. manufactur-
ing and distribution, it is fair to as
sumo that already the corporations
are making ready for next years bus
mess with an entirely new schedule
of quotations. Costs are being scrut-
inized and pared down with closer
attention than at any time since 1915.
There are suggestion in some quar-
ters that labor will have to bear its
share of business reactions, but Ia
bor surpluses have as yet occurred
only in particular industries and So
called liquidation of wages seems re-
mote.

Make Losing Fight.

As far as the farming protest against
the fall of prices is concerned, it APP
pears headed for failure at the start.
Special dispensations in respect to
credit facilities for the purpose OF
maintaining prices in the face of econ
omic pressure would not only stand
opposed to the public interest but
would be certai nto postpone the coun-
try's return to normal conditions. The
farmer was not alone in his infatua-
ton for SO wheat and 40c cotton. That
is, producers of other things were i'm
pressed equally with him with the
prices of the goods they had for sale
last March and April. But the maxi
ers- of textiles, rubber and leather pro-
ducts, coming first in contact with pub
lie opposition to high prices and with
banking reluctance to extend credit
to hold prices up have bowed to the
evitable before the farmers turn same
Before the farmers repres entatives
were appealing to the Treasury and
the federal resirve board for help, the
manufacturer and merchant was re-
vising his plans with full recognition
of changed events. Either they were
absorbing less themselves or seeking
through loans from investors, not OF
the banks, to carry stock of goods
until they could be liquidated and
balanced against goods yet to be pro-
duced at lower costs. The process
has by no means been completed, but
it would seem as though the lower
ing of farm prices was about the
last broad step in the current move
