CHICAGO BOARD

CHICAGO, Feb. 20-Big advances
in wheat prices TODAY failed to en-
counter any aggressive opposition.
Scarcity of offerings emphasized talk
of possible world shortage of bread
stuff supplies, and let the market
ascend as much as 6h cents, going
far above any quotations current
heretofore this season. The close was
strong at the topmost point reaching
to Ga cents, net higher, with May
1.46A TO 1.46is and July 1.2T% to
1.27%. Corn gained y to y and
oats 1s 10 4 cent. In provisions,
the outcome varied from cents
decline to IL adcance.
Rising prices in the wheat market
were accompanied by reports that
Germany had bought 100000 TO
100000 bushels of Argentine and
Canadian wheat and that English
interests had taken 500 600 bushels
of Canadian. Meanwhile. Holland
was said to be after United States
wheat at Gulf of Mexico ports and
Japan buying on the Pacific coast.
| Advices were at hand also telling
of continued drought conditions in

curtail further the early supplies from

Days Review of
the New York
Stock Market
IRepubIIean A. P. Leased wIrel


NEW YORK, Feb. 20 - Abrupt
hardening OF money rates. strength
OF European exchanges and heavy
trading in the grain and commodity
markets at higher quotations were
the conflicting elements which at
tended todays active and generally
higher stock market.
Cali loans opened and renewed ct
four per cent but made progressive
advance to six per cent. the latter
rate prevailing in the final half hour.
Aside from profit taking in special
issues, the firmer money tendency
was without marked effect on quoted
values. Freight traffic at western
ana southwestern points expanded
only moderately, but the demand for
securities from those centers denoted
increased confidence on the part of
investors. Stock market prices were
influenced partly by the agreement
reached between the Mexican gov
ernment and American oil interests
relating to export taxes. Buying of
junior rails, which extended to bonds
of the same class. again seemed to
be based on better crop prospects and
restored dividends.
Low priced rails of the granger
and cotton carrying divisions featured
the early buying of transportations,
the movement later embracing div
idend paying transcontinentals and
coalers.
Mexican Petroleum and affiliated
issues were one to three points higher
at maximum quotations. Similar
gains were made by steels, equip
ments, motors and their accessories,
tobaccos, chemicals. rubbers and
shippings. United fruit was the
strongest feature at a net gain of
x points.
Acute weakness was shown by Ma
tional Enameling at a gross reaction
of eight points, only part of which
was retrieved at the close. Directors
of the company meet tomorrow for
dividend action. Seneca Copper and
Columbia Gas were among the other
backward stocks. Sales amounted to
100000 shares.
Sterling demand bills wero carried
up to 4.39, the highest quotation since
1919 and allied exchanges rose 10 to
II points. German marks weakened
and Central European bills We're
moderately lower and Scandinavian
rates eased.

FEDERAL LAND BANKS
Would Absorb Farm Loan AssOcia.
 tiOns is New Proposal

Secretary J. A. Mcdonald of the Lit tie River County Farm Loan Associa- tion left Thursday night for Little Rock to attend meeting of the State Association in response to a call. There is a legislative move on foot that would allow the Federal Land
 Banks to absorb the National Farm Loan Associations and that the man. agement be permanently vested in the land banks. It would liquidate and
 discontinue the associations as now constituted and it's members would | have to become direct borrowers of the land banks. There would be no more county and state boards. 1t Is believed that this would be against the interests of the small borrower and get the loan act nullified in that it would be out of touch with the local situation as is the case of the present plan.
 The changes recommended are as follows:
 1, That the executive management of the Federal Land Banks be perma- nently vested in the Federal Farm Loan Board.
 2. That the Federal Land Banks be authorized to make loans direct to borrowers.
 3. That provisions be made for the voluntary liquidation of national farm loan associations, their members be- coming direct borrowers and direct holders of Federal Land Bank stock.
 4. That the Federal Farm Loan Board be empowered to remove Sec retary Treasurers of national farm
 loan associations.
 5. That a corporation, to be con- trolled by the presidents of the Fed eral Land Banks and the members of the Farm Loan Board, be created to manage, for all of the banks, the business of buying and selling farm loan bonds, including the apportion- ment of the proceeds thereof among the several banks and associates.

Physicians Meet.

Whereas, in view of the fact that our resolution published in the pa pers during the month of December, 1921. may have been forgotten or disregarded, We again publish same below and call your attention to it.:
 We expect a satisfactory settlement from our patrons at least once year. and if you have not already, you must make arrangements at once to do so if you expect further services from us. In the future if you find it ne- cessary to mortgage your effects to anyone, you will have to require the individual or whoever you give the mortgage to to protect your medical services. This applies to one and all. We are going to make it our business to know all those who fail to comply with this resolution.
 In connection with said resolution we urge that in arranging your busi- ness for the present year that you will have provisions made to protect Whatever medical services you may require
 We deem it feasible that you should regard our services as more essenti- al and more necessary to be provid- ed for than the other considerations for which you do provide.

VACCINATION EFFECTIVE
The Records of State Health Office
 Furnish Interesting Figures.

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-The records of the State Health office clearly demonstrate the efficiency of vaccina tion for the prevention of smallpox. During the year 1914 there were 5000 cases of smallpox reported in Arkan sas. In 1915 there were $500 cases reported, every county in the state be- ing included in the list of infection. Schools were closed in many locali- ties because of the epidemic and while the disease was not virulent, there were about 20 deaths.
 In 1916 the vaccination regulations became effective and during the war period from the fall of 1917 to the fall of 1919, thele e were at least 3O0,- 900 adults in the state who were vac- cinated. Alas a result of these regu- latiOns and the vaccination of all per- sons coming from infected districts, who had been in contact with the di- sease, resulted in a phenomenal re- duction in the number of cases.
 There have been thousands of se- were cases of smallpox on the Louisi- ana, Oklahoma and Missouri borders of the state, but so thorough has been the practical quarantine through the vaccination of contacts that there were only 419 cases reported during the year 1921 and only deaths.

To the Voters of City of Ashdown.

To the Voters of City Of ASld0Wn.
 I am out before you asking you for your support for reelection as City Marshal office. I was not expecting any oposition for the second term, it being a Democratic custom for many years. Why I worked at nights, some of the business men came to me and asked if I would take the night job. After some consideration I told them would if it was agreeable with the City Council and the business men. So they held mass meeting. So it was mutual agreement with all con- cerned. If I am elected l will take the day work. I hear there is some complaint about the street crossings not being kept clean. I kept them cleaned off so long as I was on the street commission. As it stands now with the city council I haven't any right to perform any street work. So I am not responsible for the condi tions of the streets. That is the other fellows job. Now, one of my oppon- ents says he is not running himself that his friends are running him. I guess they told him he had to wear a uniform. I am doing my own run- ming. If I am elected you can put what you please on me, just so you don't put hobble-skirt on me. I am a Mary Jane stopper. When the bal lots are all counted all the boys will think l am. You know it takes thoroughbred to be prize winner. If you want to help to put Ashdown back on the map come out next Wed nesday, March the first, and vote for l.. Price, for City Marshal of Ash down.
