writes:

been given in Lyndonville with
equal success.
"This evening about three hours
were given to news and concerts
sent out bv the various sending
stations as Newark, N. J., Pitts

WOULD ADD SIX
SQUARE MILES
TO NEW YORK
Plan to Extend Manhat-
tan Island Down the
Bay

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-New
Workers who often pretend to be
Indifferent to the city's wonders
have had their imagination stirred
by the daring plan, recently an
nounced, to extend Manhattan
Island six miles down the bay by
building mammoth sea walls from
both sides of the Battery and fill
ing in the intervening pace with
earth.
A company has been incorpora-
ted to carry out the project and t.
kennard Thompson, a prominent
engineer of the city, has prepared
the detailed plans. The Broadway
Association, composed of mer-
chants along the famous thorough
fare, has endorsed the idea.
If the plan is ever carried out,
its proponents say that six square
miles would be tackled on the most
valuable piece of land on earth;
that II miles of needed docks
would be added to the ports facili-
tleS, llldl lIdllSlb WOulu Dc SIcdLly
improved and that the tax on all
real estate might be reduced one
per cent.
The plan has already been out
lined to the War Department, Mr.
Thompson says, and no objections
have been raised, since the pro-
posed built-up extension would
still leave on either side of the
island the same clearance for nav
i~ation that now exists on the
Hudson and East river sides.
The work could be completed in
five years, in Mr.. Thompson's be-
lief. at is well-known fact, ne
d. THAT the business center of
Manhattan is rapidly moving away
from City Hall and if it is not pre-
vented the lower end of the island
will again become residential
district, with the result of tremen-
dous decrease in values"
The only way to remedy this, he
added. was to make City Hall the
geographical center by extending
Broadway some six miles down the
bay.

CLEAN SHELVES BY 1922"

Printers Ink suggests that the
above IS good slogan for mer-
chants to adopt for the rest of the
year. 1t finds that basic conditions
of business are good, yet business
does not attain the full tide of
prosperity. Something holds it
back. When a river is held back,
you find that somewhere down be-
low dam has been built and its
gates are up.
So this writer thinks that the
stream of trade is being damned
by tendency on the part of many
retail stores to hold old stock
bought at high prices, which they
are trying to work off for more
than it would cost to replace it.
Somewhere up in Wisconsin" it
says, "there is a little retail store
that has $500 price mark on a
$500 suit of underwear. At a
country store in Maine the buyer
is asked to pay $1,000 for a pair
of shoes that ought to be selling
for $780, And so on.
Enterprising stores realize that
it does not pay to hold up retail
prices after wholesale figures have
gone down The splendid merchants
whose notices appear in The Gale
donian-Record are of this class.
They have done their full share
restore the country's business to
normal. But their spirit does not
attain its full results, if all over
the country there is a large ele
ment of merchants who are still
hanging on to their goods at
prices that are too high consider
ing the present cost of replace
ment.
Merchants ali over the country
should ralize that the next few
weeks, the best selling period of
the year, furnish the most favor
able chance to get rid of this old
stuff if they have any of it. Some
price concessions have to be made,
but they may as well be made now
as later.
The merchants that advertise
freely have long ago got their old
stock cleaned up, and the public
can be sure when it buys of them
that it is getting Its merchandise
on values established bv the pre-
sent cost of replacement.
"Clean shelves by 1922 is an
advertising war cry that can bring
back the country'g business.

Fire Chief Agdin
 Cites Instructions

C. c. Kitchener, chief of the Ma rianna fire department, has request ed the Courier-Index to again call attention to some simple rules that should be followed in turning in fire alarms. It is highly important that the name of the occupant and the street be given when calling central for the purpose of turning in an alarm. Failure to furnish this information often results in loss of time upon the part of the depart ment in responding to the alarm and this means a financial loss to the owner of the property.
 It is highly important that you have your electric wiring examined by a competent electrician. In years past Arkansas was the dumping ground for wiring material that was not up to standard and this faulty wiring is causing many fires.
 The fire department has no objec- tion to others than members of the fire department going to fires, but the chief requests that cars be kept out of the way of the fire truck. Scores of people have the habit of running their cars in ahead of the fire truck, blocking the way to hy- drants and interfering generally with the work of the fire fighters. This is pure unthoughtedness, but none theless inexcusable. Park your cars at a safe distance from the fire. The man who gets off the truck to make the hose connection with the hydrant is traffic cop and here after it will be his business to see that no cars are parked nearer the fire than the hydrant. Don't stop your car in the middle of the street. Frequently the truck has to run to headquarters after more hose. It is very annoying and is a loss of valuable time to have the truck held up while the owner of a car parked in the middle of the street is being looked up and his ear removed
 Tn short, keep away from the scene of fire fighting, park your cars out of the danger zone and on the side of the street so the street will be open.
 The chief is in receipt of a check for S5.00, being a prize given by the Northern Fire Apparatus Co.,, Minneapolis, Minn., in contest be- tween fire chiefs all over the coun- try. They were asked to write a letter giving the good points about Northern Apparatus, and the Ma rianna chief was one of thirteen who won prizes.

A social meeting of the Clover
 Hive Review was held Tuesday af- ternoon at the home of Mrs. l. B, KatzeEstein. As the meeting was on George Washington birthday flags, hatchets and cherries were in much evidence. The social fea- lures of this organization have been somewhat on the wane for the past few years but the regular monthly social meetings will be revived with the one that has just been held and if the success of the first IS indicative of what is to follow there is something worth while in store for its members. An interesting and inspiring address was made by Mrs. J. l. Morris, Lady Commander, and Mrs. x. J. Williams gave a report of the organization, both national and local. A vocal duet by Mrs. Elza Clifford and Miss Rose Wilkins and instrumental mu- sic by Mrs T. F. Foster and Misses Rose Wilkins and Berenice Jones was very much enjoyed. After the program the guests were given the opportunity to play as children once again, and, blindfolded, pin the hatchet on the cherry tree at just the spot where the tree was cut. With much merriment the contest proceeded until an invitation was extended to go to the dining room where covers were laid for 32 guests and a delicious two-course luncheon was served. Souvenirs of flags and cherries were presented to each guest. The next social meeting will be held in March with Mrs. J. I. Morris.
