DIRECTORS RESPONSIBLE
Depositors in Defunct Bank of
 Newport Must be Paid

The directors of the defunct Bank of Newport are responsible to the depositors for all obligations created after the violation of the laws governing the conduct of that institution, according to a decision of the Supreme Court handed down last Monday, under the style of X. D. Bailey, ct. al, vs W. N. O'Neal and G. Heinman, in which the decision of the Independence Circuit Court in favor of 0'Neal and Heinman was affirmed.
 The case brings up long story of the financial troubles of the Bank of Newport, which went in- to the hands of a receiver April 30, 1906, at which time its indebt- edness to one concern, the Kelly Lumber Company and subsidiary organizations totaledS174, GOO, with no security except the stock of the corporations.
 Easing their complaint on the ground that the failure of the bank was due to negligence of the di- rectors, thus making them liable to the depositors for all debts of the bank accumulated during the time of such neglect, 0'Neal and Heinman brought suit against tue directors to hold them responsible.
 The directors set up the defense that they had left the matter to the compentency of their cashier and to the officers of the bank. The Circuit Court, however, found them liable to the depositors and the judgment was appealed to the Supreme Court by the bank di- rectiors.
 The Supreme Court holds that the defense that the directors made to the effect that they de- pended on their cashier is not valid defense; that 1t would be shifting to others duty that Is fixed on directors by law, that of general supervision over the affairs and conduct of the banks business. The cashier is merely an execu- tive officer, while the directors re- tain the administrative duties.

TO DISCUSS FARMING
Government Agriculturists Will
 be at Sulphur Rock Monday

J. A. Evans of Shreveport, La. i, will address 8 meeting of farmers and others interested in agricul- ture at Sulphur Rock next Mon- day, the 18th.
 Mir. Evans is in the employ of the National Agricultural Depart ment at Washington, and is doing a great work for the farmers in his courses of lectures and demon stration work.
 H. A. Mobley of Prairie Grove, Special Agent k. c. Davidson of Searcy, and County Demonstration ]. k. Taylor of Hutson, will also be present and it is expected that an enthusiastic and profitable meeting will be held.
 Every farmer in the county who can possibly do so should attend thls meeting.
 It is the intention of County Demonstrator J. E. Taylor to es- tablish about 200 demonstration farms in various parts of the coun- ty. These farms will be put in cultivation next season, and Mr. Taylor will endeavor to make practical demonstration of what may be accomplished by practical and scientific farming.
 The farmers success does not de- pend so much upon the number of acres he cultivates as upon the yield he secures. Therefore the educational work being done by the government through the demonstration plan is bound to result in much good to those who are interested in agricultural pur- suits. The Journal hopes to see the farmers fall in line with this movement and be prepared to get all the benefits that may be deriv- ed from it.

KALANIANAOLES TO
HELP MILITARY

Unusual as it may at first appear,
the Military Leabue baseball game at
Aala park next Sunday afternoon Will
be played under the wing of the Kala-
nianaole League. In fact, the Ma
tional Guard and Fort Shafter teams
will practically be the guests of the
Kalanianaoles on that occasion, for
the latter will furnish the grounds, the
balls, the umpire and the scorer for
the game of the day. The reason for
this is that the military league has
no fund while the Kalanianaole have
an income fro mthe rent of chairs at
Aala park
Eddie Fernandez will umpire both
games on Sunday and w. Tin Chong
Will be the official scorer.

SPOR T S
INTERTEAM GOES
At FORT SHAT TER

In the Dunning series two good
games of baseball were played at Fort
ShafSar yesterday afternoon. The e
team appeared in both of them, taking
a fall out of both Company G and f.
Company f was beaten by score OF
II to but when it came to the con-
test with G the thing was different,
that team winning by score of to
Z.
The games in the Dunning series are
of particular interest at this time, for
from the teams taking part must come
the nine men to achieve honors for
Fort Shafter in the military league.
There are unquestionably very strong
players in all four of the Cunning
teams, and if a powerful nine cannot
be picked out of the bunch there must
be something radically wrong in the
manner of selecting the players.
The Fort Skaters will meet the Ma
tional Guard team at Aala Park next
Sunday afternoon, and it is hoped that
the former will be in better shape than
on previous occasions.

bats on the diamond at Alexander field.
The latter has been considerably

in the matter had been sought, agreed
with this view.

WHAT SPORT COST
ENGLAND YEARLY
SIX DOLLARS FOR EVERY MAN,
WOMAN AND CHILD SPENT
EACH TWELVE MONTHS.

England, according to an American
writer in Scribner's Magazine, is a ma
ton of sportsmen. Sport here" he
says, lis not a dissipation for idlers;
it is a philosophy of life," and he goes
on to state that though England may
be fighting somewhere in her vast do
minions, she is also playing somewhere
all the same"
Writing of the relative Importance
of sport, the writer states: The first
thing to attract my attention on this,
my latest visit to England, was the
announcement on all the newspaper
bulletins: 'England's Big Task
happened to know that the Prime Min
lister was seriously i'll, that there was
fierce debating in the House of Com
mons upon the new estimates for the
Navy, and upon the new Licensing
Bill Just brought in by Mr.. Asquith
and that there was fighting upon the
frontier Of India with a certain tribe
of natives.
But Englands big task had nothing
to do with these trivial matters. An
English cricket eleven was playing in
Australia. The Australian eleven in
their second inning had made an un-
expectedly big score, and England's
big task was to beat that score!"

DR.. VARIES IDEA
ON FUTURE ROWING

There is no greater authority on
rowing than Dr. Ware, the late head
master of Elton, who was himself an
Oxford Blue in his day. According
to the Isis he recently delivered a lee
ture at the University boat house on
sliding seat trowing, at which this
years crew ana great number of past
and present Oxford rowing men werI
present, Dr. Ware, of course learn
ed his rowing in the days of fixed seats
and he pointed out what we have fire.
quently insisted upon in these columns
says the Globe, the necessity of learn
ing to row on fixed seats. Nowadays
there is too great tendency to put
men on to sliding seats before they
have learned even the rudiments OF
the art, and consequently much harm
is done to them Rowing on sliding
seats is the continuation of rowing on
fixed seats one leads on from the
other; and a man has nothing to I'M
learn when he changes from fixed to
sliding seats. The function of the
slide is TO help the oarsman to carry
out all the fundamental principles
which he has learned in fixed seat
rowing. The one is only an extension
of the other, and every man should
learn to row thoroughly on fixed seats,
so that when he moves on to a sliding
seat he will be able to understand why
it is that he gets an increased reach
and improved legwork The average
oarsman is far more likely to manage
his slide properly if he has learned to
use all his powers in fixed seat, and
DIR. Ware did good service to oxford
rowing by emphasizing the point.
