Arthur s. Riggs, an active worker in the interest of baseball in this state, was q visitor in Pine Bluff yesterday and gave out the assurance that Pine Bluff would have baseball the coming season. This city, he said, would be retained as a member of the Arkansas State Lea que and there will be five and probably seven other towns in the league. Harry Berry, manager of last season, has been en- gagged to manage the Pine Bluff team, which. is now owned by C. Strickland. for the coming season. A number of exhibition games with big league teams are being arranged for Pine Bluff. says Mir. Riggs.

Anyone reading the COlontl's letter through and through can easily see that al- though the facts stand out against the average farm negro Colonel Gra- cie himself wishes the negro no jill and still hopes that he will take eX- ample from the Italian and better his condition
 Doubtless this was also the aim Cf Professor Booker is soliciting such . frank statement of facts from Colonel Oracle.

WHO SAYS 13
 IS AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.
The Time Worn Hoodoo Knocked Out by Q Magical Combination of Letters.


 Who says 13 is an unlucky number?
 Not l,' says Uneeda Biscuit, "for haven't I thirteen letters in my name and haven't been the greatest food success in the world? Welt, guess so!"
 Whether or not the genius who coined that famous name, "Cneeda Biscuit stopped to count how many letter 1t contained, history sayeth not. If he had. it Is probable that in- stead of being the greatest hit of the age it would have died unknown. and tho soda cracker which the name made famous, Or the soda cracker which made the name famous, as you choose. would have sone forth with q more prosaic title, to appease the appetites of the multitude.
 Now. after ten years, another gen. jus comes forward with the discov- cry that Uneeda Biscuit contains thir- teen letters, and to make his discov- cry more startling. he announced 1t on the 18th day of tho month. But it's too late--the old-timc hoo doc has been broken. and now one can safely sit at the table with the the fatal thirteen, sleep calmly in room thirteen, or be married on the thirteenth Of the month. Uneeda Biscuit has been the great est food success the world has ever known. They are eaten by the mii- lions and millions and millions--and then some more. They are eaten by everybody. their relatives and their relatives relatives.
 No name has eve. been initiated so much as Uneeda Biscuit. Every con Aceivable combination of letters has been used for every possible, as we'll as impossible kinds of biscuits--all of which have reallys helped in the killing of the great hoOdoo by increas- ing the fame of the only real con1bi- nation of thirteen letters-Uneeda 1 Biscuit.

Values Italians
 Higher Than Negroes
Col. John M. Oracle Says the Italian / is Much More Industrious
 Farmer.

Not long ago President Joseph \. Booker of the Arkansas Baptist Col lege of this city, a negro institution. wrote letter of inquiry to Col John M. Oracle, asking for his opinion of the difference between Italian and ne- gro farm labor on Colonel Gracie',s farms says the Little Rock Democrat. President Booker is publishing a quarterly known as The Negro Farm Review" in the interest of his race in particular and the planters In general. The letter was intended to gather facts that might prove helpful in advancing the negro on the farm. Colonel Oracle made a very plain statement that ought to De very helpful to the farm negro and to the race in general. Although his letter Is very plain it maks pathetic plea for an opportunity to improve the plantation negro. The letter is as fol- lows:
 New Gascony. Ar. Jan s. 1909. Joseph A. Hooker, President Arkansas Baptist College. Little Rock. Ark:
 Dear Sir--Replying to your ques- tion. What is the difference between Italian and negro farm laborers." will say that the Italian is far more h. dustrious and economical than the ne gro He cultivates his land and makes a greater amount of cotton per acre. He pays his debts prompt ly and never buys on credit after he once gets out of debt He works six days in the week and sometimes part of the night, picking cotton by moon- light. The Italian women are moral and equally industrious as the men. They wear the cheapest of clothing and shoes and work from daylight until dark in the fields beside their husband father and brother. All the children from five and six years up work in the field. In two years the Italian becomes independent. pays cash for all he uses and 1t not a burden upon his landlord. The Ital- ian loves his home and his family and lives there and not at the country store or his neighbours house. AS a money-maker he Is a revelation even to the best farmers. As an economist he Is a wonder. As citizen he Is quiet and we'll behaved. Marriage. birth and death come to him as me- hodically as the four seasons. and neither distrub nor alarm him. Con- densed ID short statement, the Ital- ian works 20 per cent more land and makes 25 per cent more cotton per acre and makes & net profit of Ave times as much as the average negro under the same conditions.
 But We cannot get the Italians. We have the negro and We must make a better farmer and better citizen out of him. Let us help him and instruct him. Draw the comparison if you will, but do 1t kindly and with de- sire to stimulate and encourage the negro to greater efforts.
 Respectfully
 J. M. GRACIE.
 In discussing the above letter Pres idents Booker says:
 "It must be kept In mind what Colonel Oracle says in favor Of the Italian as against the average negro can also be said about hundreds of negroes whose examples are equally
