Congressional Leaders Fynao,ad |. Take Important Action This

Washington, June 25.-Peace with | 1ermany and Austria is about to take another Important step forward. Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Masss- cnusetts' who has been at Cambridge TOT week, celebrating the fiftieth an- hlVersary Of his graduation from Har- yard, will return to Washington this week. During the past week the sena- tor has not been able to lend his pre- sence to the less important matter of adjusting differences between the House and Senate, over the manner Of making peace with Germany.
 With this midVictorian back ground for an inspiration. Senator Lodge will not be able to set him. self whole heartedly to the task of smoothing out the points of dispute between the two branches of Con- gress over the language of the peace resolutions.
 Although the Republican members or the joint conference committee are agreed upon the fundamentals of the peace-making process, it is regarded as unsafe to predict the date of the hnal Congressional action So many unforeseen events have occurred that additional differences of opiniop would cause no surprise at the capi- tal

 Another important move in inter- national affairs will be taken Tuesday when the House votes on the naval conference report which contains the Borah amendment calling upon Presi- dent Harding to enter into negotia- tions with Great Britain and Japan for naval holiday
 It is said that administration lead- CTS practically have abandoned their efforts to push the Porter disarma- ment proposal and that the Borah amendment will be accepted almost without opposition.

ASHD0WN'S COOPERATIVE
 DOLLAR DAY SALE JULY 2
Big Merchandising Event Will Be of Great Interest Throughout the
 AshdOwn Trade Territory.

The predominating business event of the week. or perhaps the month, will be the great cooperative dollar day, which will be held in Ashdown Sat urday of this week, July 2nd More definite announcement of this mer- chandising event will be found in the big display ad in this issue of the News. as well as in the big double page spread that has been mailed out to the four-corners of, the AshdOwn trade territory. This is the first time importance has been held in Ashdown It was made possible by eighteen of our leading firms coming together and agreeing to each make a great sacri- flee on some article or articles of needed merchandise for this day. This brings out such an array of bargains, staple bargains at that, as would be impossible by any one firm for we don't have to tell you that real sacrifices are made on all advertised items.
 It is expected that record-breaking crowds of shoppers will visit the town on that day. No doubt but that if the dollar day sales meets with the popu- lar success expected Of it that this will not be the last one held. The CO., operative idea has been found deslr- able in various undertakings, and why should not the buying public be given a chance to reap the benefits of CO., operative merchandising one big da' at least? Merchants believe that tnls is one way to bring more people to Ashdown, to broaden the trade 1eid' to give the people a chance to buy needed merchandise, and finally to de- yelope good will toward the town and it's business institutions. Good Will is the greatest single asset in the busl- ness world today. This is the pred ominating reason for the dollar day idea. You will make no mistake Ill being present.
