PAY SANATORIUM
FOR OLD ACCOUNT

County Judge j. A Lea late yes
terday allowed the claim of the Ar
kansas tuberculosis Sanatorium, pre-
scented by DR.. John Stewart, the su-
perintendent, and DR.. George S.
Brown, one of the trustees, for $1,905,
the amount due it for treatment of
patients from this county since 1913.
According to the rules under which the
sanatorium is operated, patients sent
by counties and who are unable to pay
expense of the county. DR.. Stewar,
and Dr. Brown presented the court an
itemized statement of such account
held against this county, and Judge
Lea promptly allowed the amount,
paid in script.
At the courthouse today, il was said
that an examination of the account be
tween the county and the sanatorium
showed that payment of $40 had heen
made, but not properly credited. This
adjustment was made to the satisfac-
ton of Dr. Stewart and DR.. Brown,
and new vouchers drawn for 81 ,905,
making the entire account total $2,315
since 1913.
DR.. Stewart, who was the guest OF
DIR. Brown while here, paid his first
visit to Conway. He expressed him
self as much impressed with the evi-
dences of growth and development
L. Il,
mented DR. Brown for the valued ser
vice he has rendered the state as d
trustee of the sanatorium.

SAYS SHORT STAPLE
Brings Low PRICE

Cotton growers in Arkansas are
warned against planting short staple
cotton, in a circular sent out by H. NJ.
Cottrell, agriculturist of the Little
Rock board of commerce. The mills
want cotton l lie inch in staple, and
shorter staple will bring lower prices,
he says in the warning, which is as
follows
Don't plant short staple cotton like
King, Simpkins and other half-and-
half staple varieties. 1t is late, but
you had better let your land lay idle
this summer than plant it with short
cotton. You can plant it in food and
feed crops Spinners want cotton of
l 1-16 inch staple and longer. The
fine quality in cotton goods that the
women of the country demand, cam
not be woven with shorter staple than
l lie inch.
Much of the overflowed land and
other land not yet planted is as good
cotton land as there is in the state.
If one planter in ten on these lands
uses seed of 12 to 7-S inch cotton,
the gins will mix the seed with all
the seed of longer staple varieties in
the community. Next year the cotton
of that locality will have a reputation
as mixed and half-and-half and the
growers of good staple will have to
take $25 less bale as we'll as the
growers of short stuff.
If the men who have to replant
overlooked land, plant short cotton,
it will take them five years to get
rid of the mixture the gins will make
and to get back to good prices.

ASK CLUB FINANCE
SCHOOL AT NORMAL

The Conway Commercial Club, at a
meeting to be held Tuesday night at
8 o'clock, will consider the request
of the State Normal School for a fund
of $500 to be used in defraying ex-
penses of the school of instruction for
county superintendent, to be held at
the Normal from July 26 to August
Z. AS suggested by the state de
partment of education, the CONNER
cial Club would contribute this fund
to be used in paying railroad fare
of county superintendent to and
from Conway. No state funds are
available for this purpose, and the
department has been forced to RELY
upon outside contributions if the
school of instruction is to be carried
out upon the scale proposed.
AS stated in recent edition of the
Log Cabin Democrat, attendance by
county superintendent will be vir-
tually compulsory. By the time the
school is held, all county boards of
education probably will have elected
their superintendent and rs will be
here. Supt. John L. Bond in making
plans for the schools, proposed to pay
railroad fare of the students, will
pay their own boarding and rooming
charges at Doyne hall.
! Another matter of civic interest to
come before the club at its Tuesday
night meeting will be the recording
of unrecorded plats of portions of
the city of Conway. 1t will be con-
sidered jointly by the Clue and the
city council which win conclude its
regular meeting on that night in time
to meet with the club. Citizens here
seem to be generally agreed that the
plats should be recorded. the point at
issue now being payment for the re-
eording. The club will probably de-
eide whether or not it will have the
plats made officially part of the
county S records, at its own cost.

Trademark Piracy Is
Popular in Europe;
N. A. &C. Intervenes

Trademark piracy is becoming
altogether too popular form OF
blackmail and even when it is de-
feated it is troublesome and ex-
pensive
The latest attempt Of trademark
piracy is that of Manuel de Silva
Carmo Of Oporto, Portugal, who is
reported to have applied for the reg
istration of some 40 American motor
car trademarks in that country with
the privileges Of having it include
the others Of the Is countries which
were parties to the Berne cenven-
ton. Fortunately it was discovered
before the expiration of the six
months before the issuing of the
registration, so that there is still
time for protests to be filed. and the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce has retained attorneys
for the purpose in New York and
also in Portugal. To double check
the arrangement, however, the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce has appealed to the Depart
',nent OF State to take diplomatic
action, as in the instance few years
ago. in Brazil when Isnard & Co.
of Rio de Janeiro registered 80 au-
ttomobile accessory trademarks, but
were persuaded that it would be ad-
visable to relinquish them.

PACKARD MAKES
ENTRY IN OMAHA
TRUCK CONTEST
President Hurst Announces
One or More Of Their
Pneumatic-Tired Trucks
Will Start.

William A. Hurst, president of the
Packard Omaha company, upon his
return from the New York Automo-
bile show, announced that the Pack
ard Motor Car company of Detroit,
would enter one or more of their
new Pneumatic tired trucks in tie
First National Motor Truck Rella-
bility contest, which will start from
Omaha sometime in June, of TINS
year
Mr.. Hurst has been one of the
most enthusiastic supporters of this
contest and feels that it will be a
great benefit to the manufacturers,
the distributors, and the truck buy
ing public. It is his opinion that the
contest will furnish an indisputablc
demonstration of the quality and
performance OF the various trucks
competing for the prizes.
Decides to Enter.
Mr.. Hurst outlined the plan Of
the proposed contest to George
Bury, general distribution manager
of the Packard Motor Car company.
Detroit, and after complete review
of the plans for the contest, Mr..
Bury agreed that the Packard COM
pany should and would be repre-
sented.
The entry of such manufacturers
as the Packard Motor Car company
of Detroit, will lend tone of sin
cerity which will benefit all entrants,
owing to the fact that the Packard
is ,one of the Oldest, as we'll as best
known trucks on the market.

FEW LIBERTY BONDS
IN COLUMBIA BANKS
CUSTOMERS HAVE EITHER DE-
POSTED THEM OR SECURED
THE REGISTERED BONDS.

Comparatively speaking there are
not great quantity of coupon liberty
bonds in the vaults of the Columbia
banks. A few months ago there were
thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth in the vaults of the local
banks. But the bankers here have
been urging their customers to either
exchange their coupon bonds for reg
istered bonds or deposit them with
the banks. In the latter case they are
forwarded to the federal reserve bank
for safekeeping. OF course the theft
of a registered bond would not profit
the thief, because only the payee can
collect the bond. No yeggman would
waste time with a registered bond.
They are all after the coupon bonds.
A visit to one of the Columbia banks
year ago would have yielded a rich
harvest in coupon bonds. But now
the picking would be inconsiderable.
The few coupon bonds that remained
in the banks here, since the Mt. Pleas
ant affair, are either being sent away
for safe keeping or been exchanged
for registered bonds. The same is
true of the country banks.

WITH DECLINE
OF FLOUR PRICE
TRADE IS DULL
WHEN VALUES WERE ApvANc-
ING PEOPLE COULD NOT
BUY FAST ENOUGH.
NOW THEY ARE ALL STOCKED UP
Hoarders Of This Essential Are Los
ers as the Cheaper Price Does Not
Do Them Any Good-Demand Ev-
erywhere Light.

Hoarders of flour, and they are pref.
ty numerous in this section too, have
been caught by the slump in the price
of that essential of life. A few
weeks ago -four began to ascend the
price ladder it jumped up dollar or
SO. over night. Everyone Immediately
had visions Of shortage of flour,
like that experienced during the war
and they commenced to buy. For a
few weeks the fluor business herea-
bouts was a record breaker. People
in the town and people in the country
who had been buying flour by the sack
purchased by the barrel and some
bought considerably more than one
barrel.
The mills were hard put to supply
the demand either home or foreign.
One of the local mills sold more flour
locally in one week than it had been
in the habit Of selling on this market
in three weeks. Everybody got stock
ed up on flour. Then came the decline
in price which was almost as precipi-
tate as the advance. Tow the folks
have chance to get cheaper -four and
consequently cheaper bread, but they
do not need any more -four They
have an abundance in the store room
or pantry. The consequence is that
-four tdae is dull, exceedingly dull.
1t has gone from feverish haste to get
-four upon the part of the buying pub
lie to seeming Indifference to weth-
er or not one ever has any flour
again.
One of the best posted millers Of
this section said to The Herald that
from the way people are not buying
flour he was led to believe that they
had taken pledge similar to that
which they took during the period Of
the food administration to eat no
more flour until the next harvest"
The situation is further proof that the
food hoarders made another bad bet
when they set out to get all the flour
in sight.
