FRESH COWS HELP
REDUCE H. c. L.
TERRY DAIRY COMPANY AN
NouNcEs SLIGHT REDUCTION
IN MILK DUE TO lNcREAS-
ED PRODUCTION.

Fresh cows coming in all over the
territory supplying Little Rock with
milk, and most of Arkansas, with ice
cream, is the cause of a slight reduc-
ton in the price of milk to distribu-
tiers in Little Rock. A reduction of
eight cents per gallon on milk, and
five cents on cream, is announced by
the Terry Dairy Company This will
be passed along to the consumer, and
milk cost 10 instead of IL cents per
pint in the future There will be no
change in the price of ice cream, as
no advance was made on this COM
modify during the winter when milk
was SO high.
There is more milk produced in
March than any other months of the
year. says Will Terry, of the dairy
company. Most COWS calve during
this month, and in addition to their
being fresh, they get considerable
grass, which produces even more
milk. This is the month when they
get the water grass. 1t is the first to
come up, and while it has little in the
way of nourishment, it certainly pro-
duces the milk.

ABELES
In HIS ELEMENT

Chas T. Abeles Jr now bond
salesman in Colorado, is in his ele-
ment, according to reports brought
back by persons who have seen him
in action in his new home. Charlie is
making a success, and every letter in
the word is capital. From the time
he began to take an interest in things
of a business nature, young Abeles
has been drawn to the traffic in
bonds, and when his health became
such that he could no longer reside
in Little Rock, he began to look for
an opening in Colorado, which soon
came, and he was selected to fill it
over several hundred applicants.
The c. T. Abeles Company has just
completed change in it's store front.
There is now only one business en-
trance, on Third street, and plate
glass windows have replaced the
Scott street entrance, giving much ad-
ditional light for the offices.

GROCERS HAVE
PAID SECRETARY
C. w. LINTHIcUM OF FORT SMITH
SELECTED TO LOOK AFTER AT
TER AFFAIRS OF WHOLESALE
GROCERS' ORGANIZATION.

Wholesale grocers from all over
Arkansas, who are members of the
Arkansas Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
ton, met in Little Rock last week and
decided to employ a secretary who
would give his entire time to the or
ganization. C. w. Linthicum of Fort
Smith was the unanimous choice Of
the association and has already been
placed in charge of the records of the
organization.
Max Mayer, of the Scott-Mayer
Commission Company, was elected
president of the association for the
year; A. B. Jones of Jonesboro is
vice president; and L. c. Bass of Fort
Smith is treasurer.
The office of the secretary will be
maintained in Fort Smith, at least
for the time being.
In putting a paid secretary into the
field. the Arkansas wholesalers are
following the example set by other
states who have tried it, and found
that not only the wholesaler, but the
retailer and consumer are benefited.
The secretary will travel over the
state, and when he finds condition
that demands attention will work I'M
til it is Strengthened out. He will
keep check on the Gamers, large sell
ing agencies, and prevent the whole
salers getting the worst of it. and IN
this way keep down prices for the
retailer and consumer.
Mr.. Linthicum has for many years
been associated with the grocery Dusl'
ness, as an accountant and salesman
and has been connected with whole
sale grocery houses in Fort Smith ana
Little Rock.

DEALERS STAND
ON DYNAMITE
]. T. REAL, BACK FROM MEETING
OF WHOLESALE DRY GOODS
DEALERS SAYS MERcH-
ANTS MUST GO EASY. ).

The mercantile world today is
resting on dynamite" says ]. r. Beal,
president of the Beal-Burrow Dry
Goods Company, who has just re-
turned from district meeting of
Southern wholesale dry goods mer-
chants, held in Dallas.
THE attitude of the wholesalers
attending this meeting was very pessi-
mistic," continued Mr.. Beal. "The
only solution is for the merchant to
buy very conservatively, go easy, and
not speculate.
1.-The wholesale dry goods mer-
chant is today in the precarious con-
dition. If he had a stock of mer-
chandise worth 100000 before the
war, has made profit of $4,000
and has $1,00O,O00 worth of merchan-
disc, he has much less goods than he
had at 100000. He has fully one
third less, and it is more likely that
he has half, for merchandise has all
increased in price 300 per cent, and
most of it more.
1.-THE wholesale dry goods merchant
must buy months ahead, and he must
buy heavily in order to supply the de-
mand, so if a sudden turn came he
would be wiped off the map. This is
not coming for a year. The mills are
sold up for that length of time and it
is difficult to get merchandise, so I'M
til the mills can buy cheaper, there
will be no reduction in price. We must
conduct our business in this year SO
as to be ready for the readjustment
when it comes. The retail merchant
should buy eonseryatively. Let him
buy for his normal needs, and not
make too great demands on the whole
sale house, and we will all weather the
storm when it comes. Speculation on
the part Of the retailer will be fatal.
81 am not wanting to scare the
trade. A merchant has to have mer-
chandise if he wants to sell, and he
has to protect himself or he will not
have the goods, but he does not need
to buy more than his trade can rea-
sonably be expected to consume. Let
him buy smaller quantities, take the
profit and buy again. Then he is
sure of success"

OCEAN TRIP IS
ALMOST in VAIN.
T. N. DOYLE TRAVELS OVER ENG
LAND AND FRANCE AND HIS
PURCHASES LIMITED TO
SMALL LOTS.

Travelling half way around the
world in an effort to secure merchan-
disc for the Little Rock trade, r. N.
Doyle, president of the Doyle-Kidd
Dry Goods Company has cabled that
his efforts have been meagerly re-
warded So far his purchases have
been limited to a few scattering lots
of fine serges, but these are now on
their way to America, and Mr.. Doyle
cables they are very fine.
Visiting the Manchester factory dis
trict, Mr. Doyle found conditions
about the same as In Arn-rrca-no
reproduction. no liability Of their
being, and decided shortage in the
available supply. Mr. Doyle was I'M
able to secure any relief from the big
cotton goods manufacturers and turn
ed his attention to France, where he
expected to pick up quite quantity
of fancy dress goods. 1t was in this
country that he secured the serges
that are routed to Arkansas.
According to Mr.. Doyle's cables.
there is no possibility of the factories
turning out sufficient amount Of
goods to supply the United States, as
the home consumption is enormous.
The factories of France are running
again, but the demands are such there
ie liffIa for avnorf
Mr.. Doyle will spend two more
weeks among the mills and factories
of Europe before sailing for the Unit
ed States. He will return to Little
Rock about the first of April, after
having established number of Euro
pean connections for the Doyle-Kidd
Dry Goods Company which are ex-
pected to keep the Little Rock terri
tory we'll supplied in the future in
the lines that are not manufactured
in this country. 1t is possible that the
European buying trip will be an an
nual affair with this company in the
future, and if Mr. Doyle's report is.
what is expected, the foreign markets
will be visited almost as regularly as

Automobile bodies Tor use in the
Climber factory, as well as for the
trade, will be manufactured in Little

Climber factory now under construc-
ton is completed. The factory will
have about $4,000 square feet of floor
space, and is benig constructed Of
Steel with built in windows, and up-
ON a concrete foundation. The floor
is also of concrete. The new factory
building is fabricated affair. and
has only to be assembled and put to.
gether, thus relieving the company OF
the delay and vexations that go with
the usual building.
The plant will be turning out bodies
by the first of May, and it will have a
capacity of ten day at the start. This
will be increased according to the
demand, and bodies of all kinds will
be made, so that any plant wanting
them will not have to look further
than Little Rock. The Climber fac
tory is now turning out about six
cars daily, so the body factory can
make bodies for the trade from the
very beginning.
AS soon as additional painting or
drying facilities are secured, the out
put of the Climber plant will be in
creased. A part of the body factory
will be used as a dry room, but even
this is not expected to make it posi-
bic to dry more than six or eight cars
daily. Painted parts are now over
considerable portion of the factory,
drying out. AS each part has to re-
eeive a number of coats of paint, the
drying process is a big item. There
is a small hot air dryer, now, but it
is inadequate for the demands. A big
paint shop will be erected later, for
the demand for Climber cars is get
ting to be quite keen.
The Climber nonstop test con-
tinues, with the car making over s.
900 miles to date. The car started
from the State Capitol on March 8
and is running day and night

MORE POWER TROUBLES

For the past six weeks it has been
a continual scramble to get the Rec
ord out on time One trouble af.e.'
another has developed at the ligh.
plant, where the "juice" is furnished
for all the Record machinery. Sey-
eral times it has been by pure good
luck that we have been able to make
the Thursday mails.
This week has been no exception
to the rest. Tuesday morning the
power was closed down all day, start
ing up again after supper. This put
us day behind with the composition.
Part of the time was made up between
supper time and midnight.
We understnd that an attempt will
be made to carry the business places
at night and that day or two each
week will be set aside for ironing
and washing.
There was no power again yester-
day until late in the afternoon, so we
gave up the ghost as far as electric
service was concerned. A gas engine
was purchased and installed yesteh-
day afternoon to furnish power for
our linotype. and we hope to give
better service to our readers from
now on.

In order to encourage better live
stock the Agent has, by means of
farm visits and circular letters, kept
a list of pure-bred sires and females
for sale or exchange within the county
in his office constantly. Sufficient
copies were always on hand for dis
tribution to inquirers or prospective
buyers. During the past three months
this list has been published in our
Farm Bureau News which reaches
500 farmers. The far reaching in
f1uance of this method is difficult to
estimate in figures as many a deal
takes place that never comes to the
Agents notice. However, we know
definitely that 81 pure-bred sires were
either purchased or exchanged and %
pure-bred females. purchased as a re-
suit Of this system.

Executive Charges Secretary Usurped
Powers In Calling Cabinet Meet
ings In illness Of Chief-Ex.
change of Letters.

Washington.-Robert Lansing ended
his career as Secretary of State, after
President Wilson had accused him of
uburping the powers of President by
calling meetings of the cabinet during
Mr.. Wilson's illness.
Mr.. Lansing denied he had sought
or intended to usurp the presidential
authority He added, however, that he
believed then, and still believed, that
the cabinet conferences were "for the
best interests of the republic;;" that
they were proper and necessary" be-
cause of the Presidents condition, and
that he would have been derelict in
his duty II he had failed to act as he
did.
Letter Prompted Resignation.
AS the record stands, Mr.. Lansing
offered his resignation and Mr.. Wilson
accepted it. The resignation was Of
fered, however, only after the Presi-
dent, under date Of February z, had
written asking il it were true that Mr..
Lansing had called cabinet meetings,
and stating that If such were the case
he felt it necessary to say that under
our Constitutional law and practice as
developed hitherto, no one but the
President has the right to summon
the heads of the executive depart
ments into conference"
Mr.. Lansing answered two days la
ter-saying he had called the cabinet
conferences because he and others of
the presidents official family "felt
that in view Of the fact that we were
wise for us to confer informally to-
gether on 49,. matters as to which
action could not be postponed until
your medical advisers permitted you
to pass upon them
Wilson "Much Disappointed"
The secretary concluded by saying
that If the President believed he had
failed in his loyalty" to him, and IL
Mr.. Wilson no longer had confidence
in him, he was ready to relieve you
of any embarrassment by placing my
resignation in your hands,"
The President replied that he was
much disappointed" by Mr.. Lansing.
He said he found nothing in the sec
retary's letter (which justifies' your
assumption of presidential authority
in such a matter" and added that he
must frankly take advantage Of your
kind suggestion to resign. a,
Il must say" the President contin-
ued, "that it would relieve me Of
embarrassment of feeling your reluc-
tance and divergence of Judgment, IL
you would give up your present Office
and afford me an opportunity to select
some one else whose mind would more
willingly go along with mine." =
Differences Existed Lono. .
The differences between the Presi-
dent long pre-dated the first cabinet
call by Mr.. Lansing, which was issued
last October S, seven days after Mr..
Wilson returned from his western
speaking tour and took to his bed.
They began at the Peace conference
In Paris, as Mr. Lansing disclosed in
his final letter to the President, and
had continued since that time-one of
the chief differences being over the
governments attitude toward Mexico.
