AN unusually large volume of trade
during August, the first month of the
fall buying season, has convinced me
that business conditions in Arkansas
are fundamentally sound regardless

caused by the boil weevil and the army
worm, declared Thomas n. Doyle,
president of Doyle Dry Goods Com
pany, wholesale, last Friday in dis
cussing the status of Arkansas bust
ness
"Our company has had more con
tinued activity this month than at any
time since the pre-war days." he said
There have been 317 buyers at our
house within the past 10 days, and we
expect to do record breaking bust.
ness during the fall season. We be.
gan May l building up our organiza.
tion to handle the fall business which
we have anticipated Sales the first
month Of the season lead us TO believe
that we may expect the best season
in our history and that Arkansas and
Arkansas business are on a safe foot
ing."'
Mr.. Doyle who recently has return
ed from four weeks trip TO the East
ern markets, said that commercial
conditions in Arkansas are decidedly
better than they are In other agricul.

FACTS ABOUT OUR PAPER
What we get out of anything is ac-
cording to what we put into it. Then
to get anything out of our school-life
let's put something into it. One way
to do this is to help our paper, by do
ing this we are putting something into
the school because the paper is part
of the school, and by all helping il
can be made greater part than it is
now.
l wonder how many of us realize
what this paper will mean to the
school?
We are all aware of the fact tina;
business men, in general, have agreed
that il pays to advertise, and this is
one of the things we want our paper
to do; Advertise the school, and show
people who we are, what we have, and
what we are accomplishing in our
school work.
l want TO thank the reporters for
their promptness in handing in theiI
nrfa OF oil traf
ports in by Saturday noon, and please
have little more news in them.
Then with all working together
lets make the paper improve with each
issue. Editor

OFFERS PRICE RECORDS.
Chapin-Sacks Company Explains
Advances.

Arthur A. Chaplin. president Of the
Chapin-Sacks Corporation, today re-
quested the Shrine convention COM
mittee to appoint representatives to
examine the concerns records and
cost sheets to determine where the
recent increase in price of ice cream
was justified. The action of Mr..
Chaplin came as a sequel to a letter
addressed to the corporation by Har-
ry Standiford, executive secretary Of
the citizens committee of the Shrine
in the price of ice cream be with
held unit, after the conclave of the
mobiles"
Replying to Mr. Standiford's COM
munication, Mr.. Chaplin said:
I'VE are in receipt of your favor of
May "a. 1923. relating to the increase
in the price of ice cream. A grave re-
fiection by innuendo, if not directly.
has been placed upon our company by
this letter. which was given to the
press. This increase in price had alb
solutely no connection whatsoever
with the approaching Shrine conven-
tion, which fact could readily have
been ascertained by inquiry. but
which. in the press of other matters,
was doubtless overlooked.
"Forty-five days ago this company
voluntarily reduced the price of ice
cream 10 cents per gallon In the
confident expectation that the usual
May reduction would occur in the
price of cream and milk, which did
not occur, and that sugar. fru!:S md
flavoring extracts would remain at
approximately the prices prevailing
at this season of the year.
Every citizen of Washington is
well aware of the fact that in tho
past year, and particularly in the
past few months, tremendous ad-
vances have occurred in the price of
sugar. cream and milk, the principal
ingredients of ice cream, over the
corresponding prices prevailing last
year. In addition to this, the cost of
labor has also had a material ad-
vance. The present increase in price
was, therefore, due to these causes
and not the reprehensible one of at
tempting to take advantage of our
prospective guests on this occasion.
I'm view of this fact we would ear
nestly request that you promptly ap-
point a committee from your organ
ization for the purpose of examining
our records and cost sheets to deter
mine whether this increase in price
was justified or not"
