Exchange of Ideas
 to be Feature of
 Advertising Meet

Business men no longer believe that great things can be accomplish cd by keeping business secrets, and tho rule in progressive communities is to exchange ideas with your fel- low rchants, says Jack Bernhardt of the Pine Bluff Advertising club.
 Recognizing that this tendency to exchange ideas is valuable and that it should be encouraged, the program committee for the annual convention of advertisers at Indianapolis June 5 to 10, has chosen Advertising, How and now," as the general theme around which each department of the program should be built, continued MT. Bernhardt. Every delegate who attends will learn how other success ful advertisers are solving their buying and selling problems today. The business men ot this city have been invited to attend the conven- tion, whether or not they are mem- bers, and should make their hotel reservations with the Pine Bluff Ad- vertising club at once through R. w. Etter, "on-to -to-Indianapolis" conven- tion chairman.

Bill May Force
 Exchange to Close

Washington, April 30.-Should congress pass the agricultural bill with the Conner amendment relating to future contracts, the New Or leans Cotton exchange probably would have to close until the su- preme court could clarify the lan- guage of the amendment, the senate was told today by Senator Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana. The agricul- ture measure is now in conference.
 Senator Conner made spirited de- fense of his amendment, and likened New Orleans cotton exchange trans actions to "a crap game with loaded dice"
 Senator Ransdell, in q heated reply, said the New Orleans brokers were men of high character and called up- on Senator Conner for proof of his statements.
 The Alabama senator replied that 16 different grades of cotton had been delivered on contract two years ago, violation of the law. Senator Ransdell retorted that the delivering broker could have been prosecuted, but Mir. Conner declared he was immune under the Smith Lever law.

Increased Costs,
 Short Production
 Rule Sugar Prices

Washington, April 30.-lncreased costs and short production were con trolling factors in the agreement by the department of justice that Loul- siana sugar producers would not De prosecuted if they sold their 1918 crop at IT and IS cents pound, the house judiciary committee was tolo today by Henry Mooney, U. $. dlstrlc' attorney at New Orleans.
 Last years crop was only 43 pei cent of that in 1918, he said, adding that in the latter year the sugar equalization board had fixed nine cents as a fair price for the large; crop. Chairman Rusted remarked that the agreement apparently per mitted the same net profit on the short crop as a normal yield.
 "very few people in Louisiana made a profit,' said Mooney, "ane they made litle. The weather anG weeds ran away with the profit
 Only one grower voluntarily sug' gested the IT and IS price, MT Mooney said, adding that others sug gested higher prices.
 "I insisted on the low figure ant got it," declared the witness, adding that when he was conferring witt the producers, sugar was selling al 20 to 22 1-2 cents on the New Or | leans exchange.

IVaudevillists Must be Actors, English
 Agents Decide

London, April 30.-Great Britain $ theatrical profession has taken stand intended to prevent persons being offered flattering contracts for vaudeville turns merely because mo- toriety has chanced to bring them prominently before the public eye A girl violinist recently disappear ed, leaving her clothes on the bank of the Thames and note saying it would be useless to search for her Newspapers published front page ap- peals from the girls parents, garnish- ed with box car headlines and three colmun portraits, asking her to re- turn.

 Then theatrical agents got busy and the girl was offered $400 week to do a ten minute act on the vaude- vile stage.

FEELING BETTER, ANYWAY.

Whatever good the San Reno con ference did it succeeded in making the European diplomats more opti- mistic. A few months ago Millerand of France was saying that the world |s,was rapidly headed for the scrap heap. Premier Lloyd George was saying that Europe was heading rap idly towards another war. Since tho San Reno meeting, Premier Mile rand, in an optimistic interview, has declared that the outlook for France < and for Europe is much more prom fsing. Premier Lloyd George is out with statement that Europe's wounds are rapidly healing. This ' attitude on the part of both pre- naiers cannot help but inspire the peoples of their respective countries with confidence. The general out look of the Englishmen and the Frenchmcn will be improved. They will be less suspicious and more con- fidcnt of the future. They may re ruin their faith in men. If the pre- miers accomplish this Europe might 'Go to work. If Europe goes to work
 her recovery will be certain and speedy.
