Chamber of Commerce

The Chamber of Commerce will
meet Monday night at their reg
ular meeting place and request
full attendance of all members.
Much business concerning the fu-
ture of Carlisle will be up for dis
cussion and many things that are
expected to be accomplished dur
ing 1920 will be lined out and com
mittees viii have plenty of work
before them. Every member
should attend this meeting which
is the first one OF the new year,
and the Board should get started
out in the right manner to carry
out its plans for the year
One OF The main things to be Ia
ken up at this meeting is the
erection Of an ice plant before the
hot season comes. This is one of
the best moves at this TINE as we
suffered for ice in the most ex-
treme hot weather last summer.
Another thing that should be
brought up is the matter Of get
ting a steam laundry here, as the
the exorbitant prices that are be-
ing charged for little hand full
OF laundry are outrageous.
There are many other enterpris-
es that would be beneficial, such
as brick yard, handle factory
for the making Of small handles
to work u4o some of Che good han
die timber that is going to waste.
All Of hese things help TO make
a good town, and there is no rea-
son why Carlisle should not have
them. Carlisle is the best town in
this section of the state now and
our Chamber Of Commerce will
make It much better during 1920.

Carlisle Has Not Halted

The high cost of lumber and la
Dor has had little affect on Carlisle
during the past year in the way OF
building residence and business
houses. Oh course there would
have been much more such inn
proyement made had it not been
for the inability to get material
and labor. Thecost cut little fig
ure, as everyone who wanted to
put up building did so if the ma
terial and labor could be had.
We are still laboring under this
shortage, but prospects look much
brighter for 1920. The railroads
will not be overburdened with gov
eminent work as they have for the
past two years and will be able to
handle the business Of the people
in much more satisfactory
manner. under which clrcum-
stances we will be able to get what
is needed for improvements much
more readily.
Carlisle is coming to the front
as no other town in. this section OF
Arkansas, and when spring opens
up all kinds Of improvements will
take on a fresh start. All our
streets will be put in good condi-
tion, many of them being graveled
and all other needed improvement
will be accomplished.

SHARP DECLINE IN
\ ALL GRAIN PRICES

CHICAGO, Nov. 20--War prices on
grain met their Waterloo this week
Uneasiness over the general business
outlook proved more than an offset for
bullish factors, Notwithstanding the
many big cuts which the value of
cereals had recently undergone. Com
pared with a week ago. wheat this
morning was down 3si to &c: corn was
off : Ia TO 8 lac pnd oats IA to
1 1-4c In provisions the net changes
varied from soc decline to n rise OF 81.
At the beginning of the week mate
rial upturus in wheat prices took place
owing largely to signs Of European
buying and to the assumption that Boil
sheVik successes had rendered improb-
able for a long time any important
grain shipments from Russia. There
was also much talk of an effort to ar
range credits in this country to enlarge
exports TO 'Germauy Confidence based
on such grounds, however, did not last
and aggressive selling Get in.
Weakness in corn and oats started
with sharp break in cash corn prices
at Kansas city, Later liquidation be-
came general.
\ Except for Noccmber delivery, pro-
visions tended downward in sympathy
with grain and hogs.

GRAIN MARKETS
New Low Levels Reached by
Wheat and Corn-Provi-

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.--New low figures
on the crop were agai nrecorded to-
day for wheat and corn futures. There
was very strong opening In wheat,
influenced by export conditions, but
after initial buying by seaboard houses
ceased there was no support to the
market and 1t slumped from Sc for De-
cember wheat to 21sc for March, Liver
pool advices had it that United King
dom wheat supplies had reached such
volume that the British wheat COM
mission wa slikely to reduce the fixed
prices on wheat TO millers.
Opening wheat prices, which were
from Y to nc lower with December
SLIP to $1.71h, and March $1.63 to
$l.62h, first stiffened at the higher
levels and then fell to $169 for De-
cember and S160A for March.
Commission houses sold corn and
there was renewed liquidation in that
pit. The opening was from &c higher
TO I9c lower, with December 661s to
66Ac, May at 72 10 71hc and July TN
to 72c. The slump carried December
TO 65kc and May to 70Bc.
Oats yielded TO the corn influences
and dropped from an opening of 4SAc
to 4SAc for May, down to 4Sc.
Provisions were also weak with fresh
nork and lard at reductions in the cash
markets.

Sign Of the Times.

There are unmistakable signs of
the times which both the student and
the casual thinker would do well to
consider There were perhaps never
before so, many Bible classes in
Memphis as at present. Aside from
the gatherings in churches for prayer
and praise perhaps never before so
many organized bodies united for
the study of sacred things, the things
worth while, the things calculated
to strengthen the outreach toward
righteousness.
One of these specific movements
Is that at the Nineteenth Century
club, under the title, Religious
Fundamentals" The meetings are
held fortnightly, the second and
fourth Thursdays in each month";

ing the Rev Charles +. Blaisdell.
