burden. The United States must also
obtain a satisfactory industrial out.

 STORE AFTER SALE
Business to be Under Two Roofs for the
 Present

L. Froug oT Froug's yesterday an- nounced that the firms shoe store, which it has maintained for the past several months at 316 Main street, is to be discontinued. The reason for this move, the announcement said, is the fact that it has been found inconvenient to operate the three stores that the company now is operating at three different places.
 Several weeks ago the F'roug store announced plans for the building of modern store here which will house greater part of its activities and provide for further growth.
 Disposal of stock of shoes val ued at $40,O00 is to begin on We'd nesday. The sale will be one of the few sales of it's kind in this section recently at which goods will be sold at cost. Following the sale, the build ing at 316 Main will be closed. The lower priced lines of shoes still be carried by Froug at the Gurdin store, 300 Main, which Froug operates.

 The initial farm referendum re- lated to federal taxation and had to do with bill introduced in congress in which the farmer sfelt they were especially concerned said Mir Howard Until the results of the referendum can be made public he had no fur ther information to giveout about it. A second referendum is soon to be taken among the farmers, MT. How ard said This will deal with federal highway Legislation.

Clarksville, Ark, May 8.-Smead Powell, candidate for governor, speaking here this afternoon denoun- ced what he termed "wanton and ex- travagant waste" in the state high way department and charged the member sOf the state highway com mission, William B. Owen, Joe w. House, Jr., and Hugh D. Carter as being Irresponsible for the condition now existing in the state highway department"
 Altho MT. Powell criticised vari- ous state departments freely, he was equally free to admit that he did not have a solution for every problem. He offered solutions to some of the problems in various departments, but Tn regard to others stated he was at a loss to know what the trouble, but stated when he wa selec- ted, he would make an investigation and determine the cause and remedy.
 Abolishment of all useless jobs and commissions and practice of rigid retrenchment in the administration of all state government was a poli- cv MT. Powell said he would adhere He stated he favored the consolida- ton of the corporation and tax com missions and the penitentiary and state charity board He declared he favored paying the school teach CTS of Arkansas living wage, and that while he stood for practice of rigid retrenchment, he stated, too much economy had been practiced with the schools of Arkansas. while "waste and extravaganza was the order in other departments of less importance than the public schools.

WOULD BUILD PAPER MILLS IN ALASKA TO
 RELIEVE SHORTAGE
Secretary Meredith Advocates Development of Industry
 There

Washington, May S.-Establish- ment of paper mills in Alaska was recommended as a means of reliev- ing the paper shortage tonight by Secretary Meredith.
 "Alaska is destined to become a second Norway" Secretary Meredith saisd. "With her enormous forests of rapidly growing species suitable for pulp, her water-power and her tidewater shipment of manufactured products, Alaska will undoubtedly be- sources of the United States. A sub dustry in this wonderful region, com pulp lands in the older regions, paper shortage in the United States"
 Secretary Meredith announced that to encourage a paper industry in be offered for large installations un- agriculture department, he said, is plCpdACo " COILIdCt SGOP- page to supply paper mills for thirty years. The timber will be paid for from month to month as it is cut, obviating the necessity for large in- vestments in raw material.
 The initial cost, based upon cur rent timber walpas in Alaska, the sec retary said, are sufffe4ently low to make the cost of pulp wood stump- age relative negligible factor to the manufacturer. On several areas which have been appraised, the spruce timber is priced at fifty cents cord and the hemlock timber at. 25 cents. These rates will apply during the first five years following the install lation of the plant. Thereafter the prices will be readjusted at five year intervals if current timber values in Alaska warrant but with equitable provisions regarding maximum rates which in no event will be exceeded during the earlier portion of the contract.
