"WAIT A MINUTE"
What May Take Place in That
Little Space of Time.


Little Space of Time.
Cleveland Press.
well, well, don't fret; I'll be
there in a minute. "
But, my friend. a minute means
a good deal, Notwithstanding
your effort to hold it of no con-
sequence. Did you ever stop to
think what may happen in a
minute? No. Well, while you
are numbering a minute for your
self and one for me, before you
get ready to sit down to business
we have in hand, | will amuse
you by telling you some things
that will happen meantime.
In a minute we shall be Whlrl-
ed around on the outside OF the
earth by its diurnal motion a
distance of thirteen miles. At
the same time we shallhave gone
along wit the earth, in its grand
journey around the sun, 1,O8O
miles. Pretty quick travelling,
YOU say? Why that is slow work
| compared with the rate Of travel
of the light which just now, re-
flected on that mirror, made you
wink, A minute ago that ray
was II, 100, 600 miles away.
In a minute, all over the
world, about 80 newborn infants
have each set up a wall of pro-
test at the fates for thrusting
existence upon them, while as
many more human beings, weary
of the struggles Of life, have
opened their lips to utter their
last sigh.
In a minute the lowest sound
your ear can catch has beer
made by 900 vibrations while
the highest tone reached yor
after making 2,228,OOO vibra
tons.
In a minute an express trair
: goes a mile, and a street-car 3:
= rods; the fastest trotting horse
LAT 9-13 feet. an average walke
has gotten over 16 rods.
In each minute in the Unite'
e States, night and day, all tn
year around, "a barrels of bee
have to go down IL, Threats
: and 4, 800 bushels of corn hav
: come to bin.

Gated by the news from Pitts
burg, where more than so, 900
men who have been idle for
months have just gone to work
and more could be employed, if
they were to be had. When the
hard times came last winter
thousands of foreign workman
left the city and have not re-
turned, and in consequence
Pittsburg now has an actual
shortage of men.

How Lige Paid His Subscription

How Lige Paid His Subscription.
Mocksvie Record.
We met Lige Henderson in the
postoffice the other day and in
speaking about the weather and
so forth, we asked Lige if he
could pay US a Is cents or 2 on
his back subscription. Lige said
he considered it an insult to have
any person ask him for money
that he owed. He said he would
pay US whenever he got ready.
This made US hot under the col
lar so we kicked Lige on the spot
25 cents worth and gave him
credit on the book.

DEATHS.
POLLOCK.

Aunt Mary Pollock died sud- denly Tuesday night at her home Tn the east part of town. When she retired Tuesday night she was in her usual good health, and was taken Ill about nine o'clock, expiring shortly afterwards. Death is thought to have resulted from neuralgia of the heart.
 The remains were inferred In Bluff Cemetery Wednesday after noon, services being conducted by Eld. Gray.
 Deceased had been resident of Springdale for q number of years, and prior to that time she resided Ill the country southwest of town. She had been married a number of times, but so far as known the only surviving rela- tives are a brother living near Huntington, Sebastian County and an adopted son who made his home with her.
The Springdale news., 1908-12-11

Denver; secretary, Mrs. J. T.. Nelson; treasurer, Mrs. Georgia Needhan. Bluff Cemetery IS now in splendid condition as a result of the work of the ladies the past year, and with the con- tinued cooperation of the people generally The News feels sure they will do equally as we'll the coming year.

NEW TIME CARD
 NEXT SUNDAY,

As forecasted by The News last week new time card goes into effect on the Frisco next Sunday, and the most important change, to Sprlngdale, will be the failure of the two fast trains, known as the Cannon ball, to stop here. Although the new time card has not been received by Agent Furry, we understand the numbers of all trains have been changed, 700 being added to all numbers. For instance, No. , will be known as 705, and will be due i'll Springdale at 7:10 a. rn.. instead of 6:5S as hereto fore; will be known as 700, and will be due at 9:07 p. III. instead of 9:20; No. 7O4 will be due at S:2S instead of SAY; No. 712 same time as heretofore; I'll will be about five minutes later and No. 7O1 about twenty minutes later. The additional train which was talked of will not be put on.

UNIVERSITY GIRLS l3
 $. H. s. GIRLS 10

The Springdale High School girls basket ball team went down to Fayetteville Saturday for a game with the U. of A. team at that place.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the home girls thought they were clearly outclassed, they went to Fayetteville with the intention of playing their best.
 The game was what might be termed a 'stunner" to the Ark ansaS team. This was the first game for the home girls this sea- son, and in fact, the first game most all of the girls had played.
 The first half of the game was slow, many fouls being called both on Arkansas and the home team. The Arkansas team, thinking they had a walk-over, intended to change their first team at the end of the first half and use the second. At the end of the first half the score stood ' to '. Arkansas didn't change their teams. At the beginning and all through the second hall the home girls played superb game of ball. The ball was kept continually out of danger by the fine guarding of Miss Pearl Hew it. The final score was 10 to l. Ill favor of Arkansas. The home team Is the fastest the University team has played in some time and perhaps as fast team as i i'll this part of Arkansas. The' will probably play a return game here ln the near future.
 The whole $. H. $. team deserv, mention, but more especially mention is due Miss Pearl Hewitt as guard, and Miss Lena Thomp son as side center. The guard ing of Miss Hewitt was excellen and could hardly be improved up on. Miss Thompson's work a side center was also good. Tim of halves, Is min; umpires, D Smith and K.

Arkansas: Bess Wolf, center; Katie Sue Moore, side center; C. Strider, forward; Mirna Glass, Nell Coleman, for ward; Mirna Glass, G. Williams. guard; F. Whitson, guard
 The girls were ehaperoned by Mrs. B. P. Smith, and in the evening very pleasant reception was given the party at Ella Car nal Hall, the girls dormitory.
 The Arkansas Conference Col lege of Siloam Springs will be over to play the High School team tomorrow, Saturday. Game will be called promptly at 2:15 p. n., and will be played on the High School campus. Admission 25 cents, school children and ladies Is cents. As the girls will be at considerable expense in getting the Siloam Springs team here, 1t IS to be hoped they will have good crowd. The close game which they played the University girls last Satur- day would indicate that Spring dale has a good team, and they will make strong effort to win tomorrow.

the winners may be or how many votes may be cast. Although only few days remain, there is time to cast large vote, and all the candidates will doubtless do their very best from now on.
