League Teams To Swing
Into Pennant Action
For 1920.
CLUBS APPEAR BE
IN GOOD CONDITION
Unusual Interest Seems
Manifested in Games
This Year.
Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 13-Major Lea
que baseball <eams swing into pen
nant action tomorrow with the formal
opening of the 1920 season. Based
upon the form exhibited in the spring
training on southern diamonds, the
sixteen clubs of the National and Am
erican leagues appear to be in excel
lent physical condition and baseball
prophets forecast close races for the
respective leagues flags as well as ex-
ceptional attendance and financial re-
ceipts due to the unusual interest in
the game this year.
Eastern and western city clubs
share equally in the allotment of op-
ening dates. In the National League
Boston plays at New York while Phil
adelphia will make it's initial appear
ance at Brooklyn. The Western div
ision teams of the senior organization
clash with Chicago at Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh at ST. Louis. The Ameri-
can League schedule calls for New
York to open at Philadelphia; Wash
ington at Boston; Detroit at Chicago
and ST. Louis at Cleveland. The mi
tial return contests are set for April
% when the order of the schedule
will be reversed.
The games to be played in the Ma
tional League tomorrow will inaugu-
rate th 45th consecutive season for
the Sc ior major league for the organ
izati, A dates back to 1876 when the
Chicago club won the first pennant.
The teams of that city still hold the
lead for since 1876 Chicago clubs have
have captured eleven championships.
Boston comes second with nine and
New York third with eight. The Am
erican League will celebrate its 21st
annual opening, having started its
major career in the spring Of 1900.
Since that date the penants have been
distributed among four clubs, Phila-
de'phia and Boston each having won
six; Chicago five and Detroit three.

Points Affected.
CONDITIONS IN THE

Head Of Strikers Saws
Forces Will Remain
Intact.
Associated Press

CHICAGO, April 13-The main str
ength of the striking railroad workers
today extended East of Pittsburg and
in the Pacific Northwest with condi-
tions in other sections of the country,
according to the Railroad Brotherhood
leaders and the railway officials, as
pointing toward the return to normal.
Brotherhood officials epitomized the
situation in the West as vastly bet
ter and in Chicago much improved;
in the East it is vastly worse and
from the Ohio river to the coast, Bro
therhood officials said, the strike was
burning out"
Railroad managers reiterated to-
day their determination not to treat
with the strikers, while John Grunau,
head of the strikers, maintained the
claims of the "Insurgent" forces and
said they would remain intact and
not yield
N. Y. STILL IN GRIP STRIKE.
NEW YORK, N. Y. April 13-New
York is still in the grip of the "out-
law railroad strike. Officials on the
roads involved redoubled the efforts
to maintain service and they are chez
red by the announcements that mill
tary engineer college students, citi-
zens and several communists, had vol
unteered to fill the strikers places.
Gains made by the strikers yesterday
were notably in the stopping of the
leaders in their efforts te secure the
efforts of the Railroad Brotherhoods
strikers to return to work. In several
instances, efforts of the Brotherhood
leaders to address the strikers, were
repulsed with boots and jeers.

to establish these price standards and
secure good will for their products
The war came on, raw materials be-
gan to soar, wages pyramided, and
all old-recognized business fixatives
and customs were shaken to the roots.
In other lines, in which it was diff
ficult for the consumer to identify the
purchased product with any fixed pri-
ces-clothes, shoes, hats, dry goods,
furniture, hardware, etc.-prices went
up Immediately in keeping with the
advances made in materials Of which
the products were composed and fab
ricated.
For long time the proprietary
manufacturers decided to stick to old
standards, and some even now, after
five years of war ,have not changed a
cent on many products, the manufac-
turer absorbing all of the added costs.
To preserve the accumulative good
will of their years of advertising, they
are accepting less profit than they
used to get, where manufacturers in
other lines are exacting more profit
than they ever earned before.
For years we have been told that
advertising adds to the cost of distri-
bution-that it is nifty plan, con
ceived, cultivated and fostered BY
manufacturers to encourage the con.
sumner to pay more for a product thar
he or she would otherwise be obliged
to pay. That is basically absurd, eco
nomically unsound, and mathematical
| " untrue; here we have the most elo
quent, convincing and concrete proof
To protect the goodwill value o
their advertising, manufacturers o
trade marked drug store sellers pock
eted the loss Of millions, and the con
sumer has saved these millions. LEX

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER.

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 13-
Liverpool came about as due on old
crops but was 16 better than due on
new crops which are less under the
Influence of contract technicalities and
are consequently moving more on re-
gular influences. Spots 23 down,
sales 5000 bales.
Charging that Is per cent of the
high cost of living was due to financ-
ing of SPECTATORS and hoarders of the
federal reserve system, representa-
tive King of Illinois urged the house
rules committee to direct an investi-
cation into federal reserve act.
The dry goods report reflects the
unfavorable strike situation and says
trade in dry goods was quiet owing
to the uncertainty of shipments.
Weather map showed mostly fair
Western half of the belt, partly cloudy
to fair Eastern half, no rain except
light to moderate showers in Alabama
and the Atlantics. Low temperatures
over the upper half of the belt is
unfavorable
First trades were unchanged to 20
down despite the better Liverpool and
trading reflected comparative apathy
of support as the probable result of
Gnfavorable general news It react
ed several times ten to 25 points, but
invariably returned to yesterday s
closing level, except July which ruled
easier.

SHOW SMALLEST
PRICE INCREASE
The Prices OF Drugs Held Down BY
PrOducers-Published By Request
of Local Dealers.

An interesting fact was brought to
light recently by committee of the
National Wholesale Druggists Associ-
alton. An analysis of the prices pre-
vailing today in the drug trade COM
pared with those Of 1914 revealed the
surprising fact that the drug trade has
made a smaller average advance over
pre-war prices than any other indus
try in America,
t-'5 ssAlsy &c Che recnrda the sever
al commodities have increased since
1914 as follows:
Clothes, clothing and dry goods, in
crease 154 per cent.
Paints and varnishes, increase 1926
per cent.
Hardware, increase ia per cent.
Paper, increase SO per cent.
Groceries increase SO per cent
Fuel and light, increase 81 per cent.
Cigarettes and tobacco, increase IS
per cent.
Bakery, increase IS per cent.
Drug store products, increase 35.1O
per cent.
Probably the most illuminating of
these disclosures was the fact that of
the S325,000,O0O worth of manufac+-
urers' merchandise, which it is estima-
ted that the wholesale druggists of the
United States are now selling, approx
imately S217,75O,0OO worth, or 67.2 per
cent of the entire volume, represents
advertised trade-marked proprietary
products.
A comparison Of the prices charged
today by manufacturers Of these trade
marked proprietary products compar-
ed with the pre-war prices, shows an
average advance of only II per cent.
In the same period, un-trade-marked
drugs and chemicals advanced 65 per
cent heavy chemicals (many used in
the wary 165 per cent, and pharmaceu-
ticals an average of " per cent.
Among the fifty leading classes Of
business in the United States, the War
Industries Board, in recent survey of
price fluctuations, singles out the
manufacturers of drug store proprie-
tory products for special commenda-
! ton as a conspicuously noteworthy
example of moderation in the fact of
conditions that not only encouraged
| advances but justified them. In the
four years of the war every material
employed in these products advanced
from 80 per cent to 100 per cent in
sympathy with the worldwide trend
toward new levels. Overhead expenses
went up so to Is per cent. In other
lines manufacturers advanced proper
/ tionately, but not in the drug trade.
/ Folks ask why not the drug trade
also? Here we have an interesting
and peculiar economic factor, not tx
be found in the same degrees in any
other industry in the world. In the
drug trade there are more trade-mar
tked advertised products than in any
other trade. Advertising has estab
Ilished and associated with these pro
ducts certain fixed prices in the mine
of the consumer. For years the con
sumner has been accustomed to paying
these prices, until it became q. habit
rooted, cemented and set

A resolution to the Board of Super
visors of Leflore County, requesting
said Board to procure a record for re-
cording discharges Of ex-service men,
was unanimously and enthusiastically
carried. It is hoped that this record
will be ready in a very short time
and that every ex-service man or his
family will avail themselves of this
privilege of making a permanent re-
cord Of the war history of the boys,
as there has arisen several cases for
hospital attention or in regard to in
surance and compensation in the past
few weeks where much valuable time
and great expense could have been
avoided had such a record have been
available.

be held on Monday evening, April
10th, at the Greenwood Theatre; clai-
med quite bit of attention and dis
cussion; and Jack Wells, Chairman,
