NEW FASHIONS RUIN
 POST CARD DEALERS
(Bv the Associated Press)

New York, Aug. 31.-Short skirts and bobbed hair have worked hard ship on dealers in souvenior picture post cards-the variety that flood the mail at this time of the year from summer resorts along the Atlantic coast.
 Previous to the advent of the afore- named styles, stocks of these cards showing beaches and cool walks were ordered in advance in lots numbering in tens of thousands. As the beach es did not change, and a crowd was a lcrowd, regardless of whether it was this years crowd or last, the cards could be sold just the same.
 Now, however, all it changed. A picture showing a beach or board walk or a summer play ground with women strolling about clad in dresses that brushed their shoe-tops can be put down at a glance as ancient stuff.
 The tourist wants evidence to send home indicating that he or she is there now and that he or she is trailing up an up-to-date crowd. Hence It is thumbs down for the picture card of yesterday, to the distress and finan- cial loss of the dealer who laid in large stocks at pre-war prices.

 Toplady is said to have taken ref ,uge at the rock from a severe storm which was sweeping over the gorge on the edge of which the rock stands, and, while waiting for it to pass over, he was led to compose the hymn.
 The great pilgrimage to the rock was organized under the auspices of the church of England but a Salva- tion Army band also took part. The 10000 people present, some of whom were perched on jutting rocks on the side of the gorge, took part in the singing of the hymn. It was also decided that memorial to Toplady should be placed on the rock.

MILK SHIPMENTS
 SURE IN REVENUE
S783 FOR AUGUST I-I5
Hog Raising Boosted by Skinned Milk, Dairymen Say-Other Sec
 tions Interested.

Steady revenue is being derived from shipments of the milk by the Cooperative dairymen. For the first half of August, from August 1 to 15, shipments from the Conway dairy station brought the shippers $793, of which S565 was for milk and S21S for cream. For about 15 days, the station has used it's new separator and only cream is being shipped. The skinned milk from the separa- tor is retained by the shipper, and reports indicate that hog raising has been considerably boosted, as the skinned milk is the very best fat tening food for swine.
 R. L. Folts, manager of the sta tion, said today that numerous inquir- ies have been received from other sections of the county relative to shipments through the local station. All available information has been given those inquiring, MT. Folts said, and some increases may come. Vii lonia seems certain to join the ship pers when road conditions permit the hauling of their product to Conway. Inquiry has also been made by farm CTS near Pickles Gap. MT Folts and others interested in development of the dairy industry want to encourage interest in outlying parts of the coun- ty, as one of the primary objects in establishing the station was to have the business well started by the time completion of the highways opened a larger territory to shipment. With shipping time now at 10:50, the dair- ymen have advantage of the morning hours and also get their cream into Little Rock at the most favorable hour of the day.
 Today's shipment from the local station was 35 gallons of sour cream and 30 gallons of sweet cream, which represent 1920 pounds of milk be- fore being run through the separator. The total for today is slightly smaller than the average for the past week, Mr. Folts said From 250 to I260 gallons of milk have been brought to the station on the aver age.
 S. F. Dorrill of the Faulkner Coun- ty Bank X Trust company is one of the enthusiastic shippers through the local station. Mir Dorrill has sev- eral cows and only a part of their output is shipped. A part is sold locally, enough is retained for the use of his family, and several fine hogs are fattening rapidly on the skinned milk brought back from the separa- tor. He does not consider his check every two weeks from the dairy as sociation anything like all of the re- turns from his cows.
 Butter fat which the dairymen are shipping to Little Rock brings 40 cents per pound and makes shipping profitable, although the price has been higher. All of the shippers are well satisfied MT Folts said. The bulk of the shipping. it was said, is done by citizens of the German and Swiss parentage, whose thrifty hab- it's are proverbial. Other farmers could we'll profit by buying a few cows and joining the shippers, espec- Iially while the returns from farming are small and uncertain. MT. Folts thinks it would be good idea for farmers whose cotton has been ruined by weevil and army worms, to take up dairying as an industry which will yield sure and immediate returns.
