The people of Ashdown and Little
 River county will be glad to know that R. P. Lindsay will reopen his business in Ashdown. This feeling is express ed not only by the buying public, but fby his fellow merchants as well. Not
 only is he a valued asset as citizen
 but his high ideals as business man have made an impression on the busi-
 ness life of this entire section. The spoken appreciation of every local merchant and business man in Ash and sentiment of the St. Louis firm that sent its vice-president to Ash down and bought the entire business and building against the hottest kind of competition and handed the keys over to the former owner. The man who says that there is no friendship or sentiment in modern business has another guess coming. A fortune may
 go up in smoke or vanish with three ticks of the tape, but manhood re-
 mains the foundation of business and is the thing that holds it together. We took advantage of MT. Lindsay's ab- sence from the city for a few days to
 say thi:, knowing him to be too mod est to have it said to his face. and
 further knowing it to be the sentiment
 of all his fellow merchants.

The business world and the farmer are facing a brighter outlook than one year ago. Much of the old mess is yet to clean up made in the days we called prosperous, but headway has been made. and the close of the pres ent year should see us going strong. Beating back to normal does not mean back to the boom days of 1919. We hope they never return.

Those who crave quick action in a political way may get it by entering the lists as a candidate before the city primary The election is impend- ing, drawing very near in fact. If you intend to make much of a cam paign, you will have to get going pret- ty soon. The date is March 1st. We haze candidates for marshal, but what good is marshal without a mayor before whose honor he may hale his arrests? And what good is it all without six aldermen as legisla- lative body, a recorder to keep the records and a treasurer to guard the finances? Laying aside joking, the character of the city administration is important. The conduct of the city's business should be in the hands of capable men who will guide it along safe yet progressive lines. No mis- takes should be made at this point

COOPERATIVE BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
Measure to Aid Farmers Is Given Vote of 5S to 1-Is Farm Bloc
 Triumph.

Washington, Feb. SS.-The House cooperative marketing bill, designed to aid the agricultural interests and pressed by the farm bloc, was passed by the Senate late today. Only one vote, that of Senator Gerry, Democrat Rhode Island, was cast against the measure.
 l Two other senators, Brandegee, Re- publican, Connecticut, and King, Dem ocrat, Utah, were paired against the measure and withheld their votes The vote was 58 to 1 and the Senate's ac- 1 tion is regarded as the most sweeping victory attained by the farm bloc be- cause, in accepting the House bill, the Senate overruled it's own Judiciafy Committee, which had reported sub stitute measure. The substitute was defeated, 56 to 4.
 l The bill now goes to conference for . adjustment of differences with the House.
 Exempts Co-Operatives. The bill retains provisions which relieve the cooperative associations i from the application of laws prohib- iting trusts or unfair business prac- tices, placing authority to determine when such acts have been commit ted with the secretary of agriculture. The Senate substitute would have made the associations amenable to the pres ent laws
 During the debate today, reference was made to the bloc's power This brought from Senator Norris, Repub- lican, Nebraska, the statement that he had heard the bill had administra- tion support.
 "It is the first time in many months that the majority has come over to my side" he added. ''It happens so all mighty seldom hat feel must make note of it. It may be the administra- tion is supporting the bill. If that is so I am glad they have come over into | the same wagon with me. Whether 1 they came because of me or in spite of me, I do not know, but I welcome them here"

Held Up in Senate.

The bill was introduced simultane- ously in the House and Senate in April of last year. It was acted on by the House early, but when it reached the Senate it lay in the committee several months. More delay came after it was reported to the Senate and it was side tracked for one reason or another un- til week ago when it was made the unfinished business.
