IN LOW a teacher is dissemina-
! tor Of truth. He brings only
established facts to the child's mind
and drives them home through the
! use ofstruthful illustrations. That he
has chosen advertising for his pur-
pcssisi . tribute to this mighty. mod
EN- force in business. a recognition
Of thesound foundation upon which
Advertising prestige is built, an ack-
nowledgment Of the benefits which
advertising confers upon those who
iamiliarize themselves with it.
The knowledge which children
fseeiye through this use of adyertis-
ing does not stop with acquiring the
ability TO spell and distinguish
between words or to draw pretty
pictures from box tops. They learn
she association Of The words and
pietufes with The contents of the box.
FIiheys learn that those words and
pietnres are the guarantee of manu-
sacturers and merchants, and synony-
nous with quality and goodness.
They learn that when an article falls
below the idea which advertising
creates Of it, then The advertising is
condemnation from which the mer-
chant and the manufacturer cannot
eseape.
The benefits of thi. practical
knowledge will follow the child
through life. He will appreciate
theyalue Of reading advertising as a
guide to wise buying, as he would
never have done Otherwise, and he
will profit by the protection and
price advantages of buying adveris-
sd.arieles because he hasbeen taught
stost1ust the promise which reputable
advertisers make.
Housewives may well ponder the
Issson which the children are learn
iAg thus early IN life. They, too, will
profit much.

BRADSTREET OPTIMISTIC
Finds That Wholesale and JObbing
 Trade Tends to Expand.

New York, Oct 3.--Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 wholesale and jobbing trade, and, to a slightly lesser degree, other in- dustry, tends to expand as commodi- ties and markets hitherto tagging, join in the slow, but apparently steady march of improvement. The stock market, too, seems to have imbibed a little more confidence and is a shade frmer, while the bond market, espec- ially as regards the Liberties, shows sustained and indeed added strength, the latter securities, in fact reaching the highest prices of the year. In- creased buying and slightly large scales of output feature the pig iron and finished steel markets, the index figures of which at last mark a turn upwards. Lumber and coal buying and output have improved, the first named reflecting the second largest monthly total of value of building in August and the good reports in Sep tember operations, while the latter in- dieates a growing demand for fuel for both industrial and domestic purposes Weekly bank clearings, s6,206, ,8S6, ,O0O."

BUSINESS IMPROVED
Federal Reserve Board Gives Gut Op-
 timiStic Review of Conditions

Washington, Oct. 1.-American busi- ness conditions improved decidedly during September, in the view of the Federal Reserve Board, which made public tonight a distinctly optimistic review of conditions for the month. Important changes for the better were seen in the credit situation, distinct encouragement" in many basic busi- ness lines and strong liquidation, indi- eating increased ability of business to settle it's accounts.
 "The wholesome improvement, " which the boards correspondents found in almost every section, ap- peared to have been based largely on the advance in cotton prices. AS a result of the higher cotton values, liquidation has taken place and wholesale and retail trade has been bouyed up, the report said.
 Marked improvement in the credit situation was cited by the review as the noteworthy feature of business during the month. the board declaring that taken all in all from a financial standpoint the month has been in the main period of distinct encourage ment"
 The board noted only slight in- crease in employment in the 30 days, but added that while the end of the harvesting and crop movement season might tend to increase the number of unemployed, this was likely to be off set by a growth in demand for labor on the part of manufacturing in dustries.
 Railroads have begun to increase the number of their employees to some extent. especially in the Far West" the review continued, "and the fact that building contracts have reached a record figure for this year promises partial employment in that service during the autumn.

MAY HAVE TO ECONOMIZE
Decreased Tax Assessments Will Cause Big Reduction in Revenue.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-AlthOugh no definite action was taken yesterday, probabilities indicate that a meeting of state department heads may be call ed in the near future to discuss ways of curtailing expenses for the current biennium.
 Officials of the Arkansas Tax Com mission have announced that the as sessments of the state will show a $50 100000 decrease this year. Joe Ferguson, state treasurer, yesterday said that the decrease would be much greater.
 "In my opinion the assessments of 1921 will be fully third less than in 1920" MT. Ferguson said.
 The 1920 assessments totaled $6l2,-
 OOO,O00 If Mr. Ferguson's estimate is correct, the decrease this year will be $2O4, 100000.
 | MT. Ferguson says this necessitates sharp curtailment of expenses in
 practically every department. AL
 though the appropriations for the present biennium were kept well within the estimated revenues, MT. Ferguson said that the estimates based upon the 1920 assessments of personal property.
 The greatest decline is in the as
 easements of personal property. said MT. Ferguson. A very marked de- crease is shown in the assessed valua- tion of mules, horses and other stock which constitutes a coniderable amount of agricultural peronalitsy, and stocks of merchandise also have gone down materially.
 The matter of curtailment of gov ernment expenses has been discussed about the capitil for some time since the first reports of decreased assess ments began coming in and it now seems probable that direct action may be taken soon by state officials.

As evidence that Arkansas has just started the work of oil develop ment il is a fact that new wells are being started in almost every section. A new well is to soon be started in this county, which will bring the total up to eight. There have been no con- pletions, some are actively drilling while others are temporarily inactive, but none have been abandoned. We must consider that much of this work has been done while money was tight It will take time, and we could hard ly expect that all wells started would be rushed to completion, but all will come around right in good time An encouraging feature is the fact that more and more oil men are becoming interested and are spending money for here. None believe that ElDorado is above the only oil pool in the state This belief is being backed by fortunes spent in money.

DAMAGE SUIT IS FILED
of WOman's Estate
 Asks $10,OO0 for Her Death.

Texarkana, Oct 1.-C. M. Robert son of Texarkana, acting as adminis- trator of the estate of the late Mrs. s. E. Gatling of Dallas, Tex, today filed suit in Federal District Court on the Arkansas side of town against I,Dr. L.. E. Beck for $10,O00, which is claimed as damages for the death of Mrs. Gatling. She was killed last Christmas when an automobile i'll which she was riding collided with a car driven by Dr. Beck on East Fifth street Several months ago suit for $60,000 for the death of Mrs, Gatling, 5000 for damage to her clothing, and $2,O00 for her funeral expenses was filed against Dr. Beck in the Miller county (Ark.) Circuit Court, but when these cases were called at the recent term of that court, the plaintiff took nonsult.
 Mrs. Gatling, aged about 35, wife of well known travelling man at Dallas, was here visiting relatives for the holidays at the time of the acci- dent which caused her death. The tragedy and the subsequent filing of the damage suits attracted much at tention, both Dr. Beck and the Gatling family being well known Sentiment as to the merits of the damage suits is said to be divided, and there has been an unusual amount of discussion about it.

It is probably true that everything is unimportant until food has been provided for. With a wheat crop of 65. .O00. GOO bushels bigger than last year, with a record corn and feed crop especially in the South, and record potato crop, it might be said that the food problem has been taken care of. With a full stomach it will not be such a task to tackle and master other things.
