SOME EXCELLENT COTTON
Splendid Results Secured with Special
Variety by Paillip Nabholz.
FROM MONDAYS DAILY

The finest stalk of cotton ever
brought to the Log Cabin Demo-
crat office was left here this morn
ing by Phillip Nabholz, farmer
living near Conway, and Mr.. Nab
holz says the stalk is only an aver
age sample of his field. The stalk
contains 81 matured bolls, about
one fourth of which are open. 1t
is over six feet high and is about
three quarters of an inch in diam
eter at the bottom.
The cotton is known as the
Hawkins variety, the seed being
obtained by Mr.. Nabholz in
Georgia. He planted three acres
on May 20 on poor land, half the
ground being rocky and the other
half low, and used no fertilizer.
Saturday he had 1900 pounds of
cotton ginned and the bale turned
out 5I4 pounds. He says he will
get four bales from the three acres,
the same ground producing one
bale from ordinary seed last year.
Mr.. Nabholz' bale was stored to-
day in the union warehouse.

Central College expects to open
Kindergarten i'll the near future
for children between the ages of
four and six years. We want to
make this strong department.
Hence we give this article on the
kindergarten work.
The purpose of the kindergarten
is to arouse and strengthen the
best emotions of the child by story,
song and music; to develop the
social instinct, to train the special
senses. to form habits of attention,
to lead the child to observe nature
carefully, to awaken the magma
ton through the love OF the won
derful and the beautiful, to encour-
age the child to exercise his will
by choosing and deciding in minor
matters, and in executing his de-
sires by actual hand work. The
careful training of the hand and
eye at the same, in making many
simple objects, contributes to the
physical, mental and moral devel
opment of the child.
In the daily work of the kinder
garten, the child comes in touch
with the fundamental industries of
the race, as building, weaving,
sewing, molding.
In games and songs the child
becomes in imagination farmer,
a carpenter, blacksmith, saw
yer, shoemaker, a weaver, etc.
By initiating the movements of
these busy work men, as Aell as the
hopping and flying of birds, and
the various movements of other
animals, we secure the most nat
ural. healthful and inspiring gym
nastic exercises that have been de-
vised for young children.
Indeed, the most distinctive fea-
ture of the kindergarten is its ring
games. For ages children have
loved to play together in ring.
The union in ring arouses sym
pathy and gratifes the social in
stinct. In these games the love of
Imagination and of activity finds
full recognition. 1t is almost need
ness to add that in these games
lies the life and soul of the kinder
garten.
Froebel said, "Where the people
sing we'll they are seldom rude. y
Song becomes a natural means OF
expression in'the kindergarten.
Although it is not usual to lay
out "a Course of Study" for the
kindergarten, some idea of the

LITTLE ROCK WINS GAME

Normal Football Team Beaten by the
Score of ~ to o.
Decisively beaten in their first
game, the State Normal football
team returned late Saturday night
from their game with Little Rock
high school, a sore, but optimistic,
bunch of players. The teachers
lost by the one-sided score of 22 to
O, the high school scoring I in
each half.
The scoring was made largely
on forward pass plays, which was
worked successfully on the raw re-
cruits from Conway, the majority
of whom had never been in a foot
ball game before and had had but
one weeks practice. The forward
pass dazzled them during the first
half and the first part of the sec
ond. In the last few minutes of
of play, however, Douglass, play
ing right half back on the Normal
team, solved the riddle and began
breaking up the play. Even then,
however, the high school worked
the play with results.
On the offense, the Normal
school attempted nothing but line
bucks and despite the fact that
they outweighed their opponents,
they were unable to penetrate the
high school line. Not until the
last of the game did the Normal
attempt the forward pass. The
one attempt was successful, but eff
forts to follow it up with further
advances failed.
