MERCHANTS SEEM
 TO BE RELIEVED
TRAVELLING sALEsMEN DECLARE COTTON PROSPECT so MUCH BETTER THAT MERCHANT
 HAS HEAD UP.

While the merchants of Arkansas have manifested a disposition to he unnerved by the many conflicting con dltlons of the past few months. the reports from our travelling salesmen during the past week indicate that conditions are becoming easy and the merchant has about gained his even keeI', said Henry Tucker of Fones Bros. Hardware Company. "The mer- chant has been afraid to buy and equally afraid not to buy; he did not
 know what to do. but crop conditions have materially improved and he be- gins to see his way out, consequently trade conditions are much improved.
 The cotton outlook is very promis- ing and all indications point to good price this fall As the cotton crop is the barometer of trade conditions in Arkansas, I look for a good business year. Our collections have been bet ter this month than they were a year ago, which proves that the financial condition of the merchants is good.
 "A merchant must keep his stock up, if he expects to thrive; he cannot let his Stock run down and expect to bold his customers, and if he buys conservatively, leaning largely to the staple lines, he can never be in diff culty.
 The condition has been the same for the wholesaler as for the retailer, only in a larger way and more acute. We have never stopped huying and we have ben enabled to keep our lines unbroken. It is, indeed, relief to see conditions as pleasing as they are today"

MOTOR TRUCKS
 ON LONG TOUR
THIRTY CARS TO LEAVE LITTLE ROCK FOR DEMONSTRATION OF WORK THAT GAN BE PER.
 FORMED BY THEM.

What is expected to stimulate in terest in the motor truck in farming. as we'll as industrial circles, is the motor truck tour planned for central and southeastern Arkansas the week of June It. Practically every distrib- utor of trucks in Little Rock has en- tered one or more trucks in the tour. and it is expected that, when the train leaves Little Rock there will be fully thirty machines in line.
 The procession will be headed by two army trucks with recruiting squads and a jazz band, which will supply music all along the route. A trainmaster is to be appointed, who will see that the trucks remain close together and that each truck performs the duty that is assigned to it. Stops will be made at Lonoke, Carlisle, Haz- en, DeVall's Bluff, Stuttgart, Dewitt, Gillett, South Bend, Warner, Star City, Monticello, Warren, Fordyce Malvern, Hot Springs, Benton and Bauxite.
 Advance men have been over the route and arranged for oemostrations of everything that it is possible for motor driven apparatus to perform. Merchandise will be taken from Little Rock and delivered along the route, as well as freight picked up in the va rious towns and carried to it's destina- tion. Stops will be made at various farms and farm work performed by one or more of the trucks assigned to that demonstration.
 Moving pictures, showing the work of trucks and previous truck tours in other states, will also be shown at the night stops. The pathfinder is out now to determine how much territory can be covered in day and what stops will be made at night Accord ing to estimates, the trip will be over about $50 miles and it will require six days to travel the route.

IN MEMORIAM.

Bring roses and lilies and banners To lay on the graves of our dead, With mem'ries, subdued and softened, Of the days when our rivers ran
 red strew the flowers OCT the land and
 the waters, Bow the head in reverence low; Oh, loyal sons and daughters, In the light of their memories
 glow They gave their all for their country, In her service on sea or on land, Their brave souls, all undaunted, Unfinchingly made their last stand May we of today, never swerving, Serve our country as wisely and
 well, May our hearts beat with love for our
 country As our thoughts on their sacrifice
 dwell.
