One local merchant handling shoes
was selling a certain we'll known
brand of mems shoes for $1O.50s per

the same shoe happened to be in the

wholesale price on the same shoe was

Another dearer | was selling an.
other we'll known brand for $11.7 rs
and the wholesale sprice on the same
shoes now is 1925 more than the
dealer was asking. ~
Another dealer stated they, would
have to discontinue handling some OF
their best lines owing to the fact that
the prices were getting beyond the
reach of their customers. Close in
vestigation showed that the Bemidji
shoe dealers are not advancing their
prices with the market but are tax
ing reasonable profits above the cost
Of their shoes when purchased. ~

ROADCONTRACT0R
 READY TO SIGN UP

The few differences between the commissioners of the Damascus, Vi lonia and Palarm highway districts and R. B. Oliver of the Oliver Con- struction Company ovef minor de- tails in the contract for building the three hard-surfaced roads in Faulk- her county, were ironed out at con- ferences in Little Rock this morning according to reports received by the Log Cabin Democrat by telephone this afternoon and the contracts will be signed as soon as they can be redrafted, probably late this after noon.
 The principal matter which has de- layed the consummation of the formal contract was the insistence upon the part of the commissioners that MT. Oliver form an Arkansas corporation to handle the work, rather than handle it through his present Tennessee cor poration. This point MT Oliver agreed to waive and consented to in- corporate in this state.

RAILROAD
 IN SERIOUS PLIGHT

Little Rock, July 31.-"It would be
 calamity for the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad to be forced to cease operations, said Tom E. Wood of the Arkansas corporation commits sion, in discussing the plight in which that road has been placed through a combination of unfortunate conditions.
 The commission will intercede with the interstate commerce commission in behalf of the road and will testify to the fact that its representatives as to the operation of the business are true. Unless some financial relief Is forthcoming, it is said that the road will be unable to continue operations. It has been in the hands of a receiv- CT for some time, but he has not been able to make it pay. It is probable that an appeal will be made for a gov ernment loan from the railroad ad- revolving fund provided for that purpose by the federal trans portation act The M. X N. A. is the main artery connecting the prosperous territory of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri with the Missis- sippi river at Helena and it would be a severe blow to that section of the state if the road were forced to dis continue.

MOTHER GAVE IT
Virginia Lady Suffered With Aches and Pains Until Mother Began
 Giving Her Cardui.

Dublin, Va.-Miss Mary Alice Hughett residing on Route 2, near here, recently told a visitor of her interesting experience with Cardui. Miss Hughett said: T had been suf- fering for some time with painful . :. I was pale, didn't feel like going. Would just drag around, and couldn't rest to do any good. 1 would suffer once a month with my back, sides and head. My limbs would ache and I didn't know what to do, but I knew I must do something, for I didn't get we'll by letting it run on.
 My mother is a believer in Cardui for she saw what it did for others as we'll as herself, so she began giving it to me.
 "Ir wasn't long before saw a change. It was just what I needed. It regulated me. l began to eat and sleep, and the pain stopped.
 "Cardui is without doubt the best female tonic made, and l am glad l can recommend it to others"
 If suffering with symptoms such as Miss Hughett mentions, or other ail- ments peculiar to women, why not be- gin Cardui at once? Its merit is well established by successful use for more than 40 years.

 And while the whole world criti- cizes France because she does not tax her people yet the government will get it back indirectly.
 We have more money to spend. To- day land is cheap and the women as well as the men are buying land. You would be surprised at the number of farms that are owned and run by our women today.
