Show Your Colors
It does not necessarily mean that you think more
of one school than the other by taking sides on
Thanksgiving in the great Football contest between
Hendrix and the Normal, but it will show your
patriotism to Athletics in lining up one side or the
other and rooting to the amount of at least Fifty
cents worth.
In order that you may show your colors buy
one of those beautiful PENNANTS with a cane,
which we have on display in our show window.

Little Rock. Nov. 5.—The fifty
fifth session of the Little Rock con
ference of the Methodist Kpiscopal
church, South formally opened at
the First Methodist church, Bishop
K. R. Hendrix presiding. There
were about 500 in attendance.
The conference went immediately
to work with the appointment of
committee- The examinations
were conducted yesterday afternoon
for the entrance of new ministers.
There will be no session of the con
ference tomorrow and there will be
no conference sermon, Bishop
Hendrix having been chosen to
deliver the sermon at the union
services of the Hunter Memorial
church tomorrow morning.
Dr. C. B. Wilmar, rector of St.
Luke’s Kpiscopal church, in At
lanta, who came to Little Rock
and occupied the pulpit in Christ’s
Church one Sunday and was re
quested to became the rector of the
church, after considering the call
for several weeks, has decided to
remain in Atlanta.
“People ot Arkansas must think
I am governor of tbe state,” re
marked Ben Griffin, former secre
tary of the Farmers’ Union yester
day when he was in the city, “for
my mail every day is heavy with
appeals from someone in Baxter
county, and someone in Pike coun
ty, and someone in Drew county,
and so on all asking me to get them
a job. They have missed their
guess, I am a plain farmer now,
but go out on my own hook now
and then to give a few Farmers’
Union lectures.
Former secretary Griffin says he
is now farming and this year made
a bale and a part—bale of weeds
and part cotton. He says the farm
ers over the state are holding some
but very little. He also prophe
sies a material reduction of acreage
next year.
i'rovidence seems now to care
for the state farm, more than
other portions of the state, in order
to make up for the washing of the
cotton by the spring rain. While
there were heavy rains in almost all
parts of the state Monday, very
little fell at the farm, and the 45
convicts taken there by Warden
Smith were able to go right in and
assist in the gathering of the crop
Tuesday. Two weeks more of
clear weather will see the entire
crop at the farm picked. There
will be about 1000 bales, against
1375 iast year._
Answers to the inquiries as to
crop conditions, sent out by Com
missioner Guy B. Tucker, are com
ing in slowly. He has received
over half the reports of the 75
ccunties of the state so far, but
not a sufficient number to issue his
final report. The reports received
show the crop to be considerably
better than was anticipated, and
most of it picked and sold.
The Little Rock High School
football team, chaperoned by Supt.
B. W. Torreyson, of the Little
Rock schools, and accompanied by
a number of school boys and girls,
leave tonight for Fort Smith, where
the Little Rock team tomorrow
meets the team of the Fort Smith
High School, in a game to decide
the championship of the state.
Neither team has lost a game this
year, and each has defeated its op
ponents by iopheavy scores. Little
Rock has met the stronger teams of
the two, and the local rooters are
counting upon an easy victory
from the Foit Smith team.
Attorney General Kirby is con
templating a trip to Washington to
appear in the Supreme Court of the
United States Monday, to argue
orally the constitutionality of the
state screen law’, which has been
upheld by the Arkansas supreme
court. The suit is that of McLean
vs. State of Arkansas. McLean
was manager for the Bolen-Darda
nelle Coal Co. mines at Hartford,
and was declared guilty of violating
the screen law passed in 1905.
A question of interest to every
county of the state was yesterday
afternoon settled by Attorney Gen
eral Kirby, who decided county
clerks can charge but #1 for the
making of tax deeds. In some
counties $1.50 has been charged,
the clerks claimed the extra 50
cents for taking the acknowledge
ment. Attorney General Kirby
holds that $1.00 is all the county
clerk can lawfully collect for the
services.
