RECORD FOR
 TRACTOR SALES
TURNER-sHANNoN COMPANY HAS BEEN DISPoSING OF ONE SAMSON TRACTOR A DAY
 FOR SOME TIME.

A tractor a day for the past week or so, and prospects for the keeping up of this record for some time, makes the members of the Turner Shannon Company quite happy. They have been selling one Samson tractor every day, and although there are several cars rolling toward Little Rock, the tractors are all sold.
 The Samson is a two-bottom blow tractor, made by the General Motors Company. It seems to be quite fa- vorite with Arkansas planters, and the Turner-samson Company is mak- ing demonstrations in the vicinity of Hazen that is creating a demand that is hard to satisfy.
 'The farmers of Arkansas want something that will keep their fields cultivated says Tom Shannon, and they are getting it in the Samson. We have wired the factory to keep them coming and we expect to make deliv- cries at the rate of a tractor day for some time to come"

 ROAD BUILDING


 The building of good roads every where has boosted the sale of bicycles and, Arkansas being in for a road building record, the Kidd-Bossinger Hardware Company has started early to capitalize the renewed demand for the two-wheeled vehicles. This com pany has closed contract with one of the largest bicycle concerns i'll the world to manufacture a special wheel to be offered to the Arkansas trade as the "K-B Special"
 This bicycle is to be constructed for strength, as well as speed and will carry with it the strongest guar anty distributing concern can offer.
 The Kidd-Bossinger Company has also secured sewing machine which will also be manufactured under the "K-B" label.
 We have a car of these machines coming in now" says R. A. Kidd" and it will certainly find welcome among the trade. This sewing machine is very light, as well as durable, and I believe the hardware men of this ter ritory will find in it the best value they have seen for a number of years Our proposition to the trade on this machine is an excellent one, and the K-B Company is going to control the sewing machine business on it or will be very much disappointed man. It has the value, and the trade of this section certainly appreciates class

Life's road is filled with turnouts- the wide places made by the passing of those going down, or those who hasten passing their plodding broth CTS on the ascent. J Russell Vim son't road was filled with turnouts. His ascent was slow, sure, but certain, and never once did he backtrack on the road to success. Every time he turned out it was to pass fellow who, through lack of energy, applica- ton or ability, tarried along the road Death halted the journey of Mir. Vim son, but not until he had achieved a greater amount of success than comes to the average business man, and even death failing to rob him of the fruits of his labors, for J. Russell Vinson builded so that in many directions his works would continue
 Tn every respect J. Russell Vinson was a remarkable man. Not remark able in many of the ways a man is judged when he has passed to an other world, but remarkable for the many accomplishments of which the world in general was entirely un- aware. While he occupied an impor- tant part in finance in Little Rock, MT. Vinson was never as active as many of the other banking heads. Seldom he appeared at the head of activities, he took absolutely no in- terest in politics, and if left to the care of his own bank, he was supreme ly happy.
 J. R. Vinson was by nature bank CT. He looked to the Southern Trust Company both for recreation and for work, and was generously supplied with both. He came to the bank in the morning before hours for busi- ness, and was about the last to leave in the evening. On Saturdays and holidays it was the same. When others were out picnicking, J. R. Vim son was about the bank, strolling through the Hobbies of the building or engaging some one on the outside in conversation. He seemed to get genuine pleasure in just being about the building, and always in cheerful conversation with some one.
 When MT. Vinson entered into the usual pleasures of life, he went into them whole-heartedly, and seldom was there a social gathering of prom thence in Little Rock unattended by him and coterie of congenial friends. He was patron of sports of all kinds, and belonged to all Lit tie Rocks leading clubs, but when it came to real pleasure, he got it in the bank.
 MT. Vinson was home-loving man, passionately fond of children, and many people have cause to remem. Der him always with smile, for nothing gave him more delight than to be of assistance to a needy per- son. MT. vinson apparently took as great delight in the disbursement of his funds as he did in accommodating them. He was a firm believer in spreading sunshine on earth, but nev- CT was 9 deed of this kind performed with flourish of trumpets. MT. Vim son selected his own charities, but
The Pulaskian., 1920-02-13

rather assistance to the needy indi- vidual was his preference.
 Really intimate friends MT. yinson had few. He selected a small num- ber and preferred to spend his spare time with those whom he knew were tried and true. These friends are the onas hardest hit by his passing. They knew the character of the man lost to Little Rock. and they knew that such men as he come toRa city once in decade.
 His strict attention to business left the affairs of MT. Vinson in po- sition unassailable His investments were gilt-edged, and so well defined were his policies that the banking business goes right along, stable in the extreme, without even a ripple though the keystone of the arch has been removed.
 J. Russell Vinson can well be listed as the builder of the Southern Trust Company He came to it soon after it's organization, bringing with him a considerable investment in it's stock. He was ever it's anchor, even before he became the active head, and the upbuilding of the institution is cer- tainly a monument to him.
 Mir. Vinson can well be termed an  Arkansas success. Though not na- tive of Arkansas, he came to the state from North Carolina when but a month of age, so that Arkansas can well claim all of his success. MT. Vinson was first connected with a mercantile establishment at Augusta, as clerical assistant in the office. He later became the head of a great mercantile institution in Augusta, and from it he came to Little Rock to enter the banking business.
 In everything MT. Vinson engaged he was a success. He died when just beginning big things, and, had he lived, no doubt would have been list ed in time as one of Arkansas great est men. To be cut off in the prime of life is unfortunate, but the fifty years of J. R. Vinson's life were so we'll filled and we'll fruited that the world is a much better place for his having lived in it.
 During the war MT Vinson was at the head of the Red Cross drives for funds, as we'll as the administration of Red Cross affairs locally. The success of these drives began in his office, though never once was J. Rus sell Vinson in the spotlight. He stay ed in the background and directed the work, and people who had the win ming of the war at heart were happy to give him the best of their endeav- ors.
 J. Russell Vinson died possessed of much wealth, but he left agheritage that is valueless-he left behind a reputation unassailable, the respect of the entire community, and every man with the knowledge that J. Rus sell Vinson earned every dollar he possessed, and earned it honestly That is something for Mir. Vinson's mourning ones to look back to with a show of pride. Few of them car do it

Why is it that women in business
"break down. so much more frequently
than men? 1t is true, of course, that
the masculine Is the harder physique.
But it Is true, too, that an overwhelm-
ing majority Of these collapses on the
part of women are not cases OF physical
exhaustion. but so-called nervous"
breakdowns.
And therein lies a very good part Of
tho weakness of our, the weaker sex.
II is not that we are actually 80 much
weaker than men it is not that brain
work, intense mental activity is any
more taxing physically on us than on
men--it is the way we do things.
Most women cannot hurry-they
rush. Many of us cannot apply our
selves at all without succumbing to this
deadly virus that robs us of all sense of
proportion. that steals our poise and
ievelheadedness and scatters our
strength to the winds. 1t is simply a
case Of drafting nervous energy when 1t
Is entirely uncalled for, and so exhaust
ing the supply.
OF course, it is needless to say that
this Is sheer waste. Every employer of
any kind of labor knows that the people
who 20 about their work coolly and col
lectediy, even though they may appear
to be slower, invariably accomplish more
than the hurrying, scurrying. turning
themselves inside out kind
This does not, of course, imply that
all women ee the hurrying. scurrying,
turning themselves inside out kind. But
most women do continually and un-
necessarily bring into play their nervous
energy to the dctriment of their eff
ficiency. waste Of their vitality, and
harm to their health.
1t is not only in business that we find
