Com mittees are busy working cut plans for the entertainment of the sev- eral thousand merchants who are expected in Memphk during the three-day period. The association was organized in 1914 and 2,20o merchants attended the first con vention held in August of that year. Last August 3,4oo merchants attended the 7tb annual conven- tion, the enthusiasm of which sur passed any pnor meeting. These meetings offer to the Southern business man, with ideas, an oppor- tunity to present then-the asso- citation is often referred to as The Clearing House of Ideas for South ern Merchants.
 The Cotton States Merchants As seciation was organized to promote better merchandising and communi- ty spirit and the measure of its success is best indicated by the con- gtantly growing membership, which now is composed of 10000 mer- chants, bankers and manufacturers. This years program will treat of momentous subjects in the business and social life of the Southern mer- chants and as in the past, only those who know their subjects well, will be included.
 The Cotton States Barbecue, as usual, will be feature, but there will be many novel entertainments in addition. Last year $500 liberal portions of barbecue were served and after the games" $1,5o0.o0 worth of prizes were knocked down" at auction to the highest bidders. The money" for these purchases was furnished by the as- sociation in bills of $1,000 denomi- nations. This was source of great merriment and profit to those present.

 Delinquent Taxes

Washington, June 2o.-Millions af dollars in delinquent and penal ties, it is estimated, will be collected Av the Bureau of Internal Revenue as the result of a general tax dr1ve Aeginning in July, which will reach every section of the country.
 Special attention will be directed Ho the collection of excise tax on sales by manufacturers, the tax on transportation, and so-called lux nry tax, the tax on toilet articles and proprietary medicines, the soft drink tax and the admission tax.
 Preliminary to the nationwide in- xestigation to insure proper ac- counting Commissioner of Internal Revenue David H. Blair, has in- structed his assistant supervisors in the field to organize special seuads to canvass fer delinquents. These men will head flying squad rensn which will visit every large city in the United States. Their directions are to conduct thorough and effective campaign, using such methods as will bring to justice will ful eyaders and cause no embar- rassment to persons who are hon. estly endeavoring to comply with the Jaw.
 . Through the failure of the re- tailers to collect in full the tax on teilet articles and medicinal prepar- atiens, it is estimated that the gov ernment is losing several millions ef dollars annually.
 Careful survey will be made of the stores selling toilet articles and medicines, and owners will be re- Quested to instruct their employees as to the laws governing the sale of such articles.
 All dealers who fail to keep prop CT records will be compelled to suffer penalties prescribed by law.
