OUACH|TA DROPS TWO GAMES
Hendrix and Normal Defeat Wis
 itOrS.
Heavy Slugging Wins for Both Local Col leges Scores 8 to and to 4,
 Respectively.

Unlimbering their heavy artil- lery, Hendrix and Normal took turn about in battering Ouachita s pitchers yesterday afternoon, both local institutions winning their games by the top heavy scores of s to I and 8 to 4, respectively.
 With Henderson and Miller as the opposing pitchers in the Hen drix Ouachita game, which began at 2:I5, the large crowd present looked for another battle similar to that of last week, but in this they were disappointed. Henderson carried on his end of the argument, all right, but Miller was easy for Hendrix batters and his team mates accorded him decidedly poor support.
 Ouachita scored first in the sec ond inning and Hendrix tied it their half of the same, and the game rocked along until the fourth when things began to happen. Long hits and short hits were mingled with errors and dumb plays, and when the smoke of battle cleared, Hendrix had an- nexed six runs.
 Ruel Henderson batting was easily the feature. The fast little Hendrix pitcher made four hits for a total of eight bases. Donaldson was heartily cheered for some swell work in center by which he choked off at least three runs.

 Henderson and Parker; Miller and Muse.
 Normal Also Wins.
 Not to be outdone by their local rivals, the Normal went at Ouach ita hammer and tongs and had the game sewed almost before the vis- itors knew what was happening. Polly Finger, who is ranked as one of the best collegiate pitchers in the state, was in poor form and the pedagogues hammered him so unmercifully that he voluntarily quit the job at the end of the fifth when six Normal runs had been scored, and was relieved by Lind sey.
 Downing in the meantime was pitching swell game, and but for few untimely errors and little bad luck, would have scored a shutout. He allowed only four hits and walked but one man.
 The Normal garnered I3 swats off Finger and Lindsey, and three were walked to first. Sherin made a perfect batting record by hitting safely twice and sacrificing twice. Renfroe rapped out three hits, one two-baser, Baxley annexed three singles and Haydon and Erwin two each.
 Fast work at short by Steven son saved several hits from Down ing's pitching. Stevenson accept ed eight chances without an error

TRAINING
FOR TRACTION
ENGINEERS
The University and the Postal Service
Make Practical Training for Ru.
raj Engineers Possible.

Every country boy has at some
time in his life a desire to run an
engine. But romance in this field has
long since been overtaken by the mat
ter-of-fact utility. The country is full
of traction engines. They are COM
mon necessity these days. The crops
are threshed by them and a score OF
services rendered the rural dweller
from the blowing of the furrow to the
bagging Of the grain. The understand
ing and operation of the traction is
field in itself. But closely allied is
the operation of the steam roller now
so extensively employed in highway
construction and the operation of all
kinds of stationary, small steam,
gasoline or gas engines employed in
constructive, light manufacturing or
agricultural work, not to mention
automobiles and motor boats. To
meet the demand for a practical
knowledge of these engines and the
ability to operate them with safety
and economy, the University of Wis
consin through the University Exten-
sion Division, now teaches men these
things in their own homes. Ability to
read and understand plain English and
to write lesson papers on what Is
studied is all that is required.

Oklahoma,s SINKING Lands.

About twenty-five acres of prairie LAM
lying between keystone and Olive, in
the Creek nation, has sunk nearly
thirty feet in the last two years and is
now covered with water Many of the
farmers are moving their houses and
herds and a general state of alarm
exists.
The whole country round this land
seems to be sinking gradually and the
people of that section are daily ex'
pecting something to ha ppen. 1t is the
supposition Of surveyors and oil and
gas men and others fami liar with such
conditions that the sinking is caused
by the great gas pressure taken from
beneath the land.

THE SURPRISE PARTY AT POTTER'S

Some of Mr.. and Mrs. Potter's
last Wednesday was the tenth ami
versary of their wedding, and they de-
termined to get up surprise party
and call at Potter's house.
Everybody purchased a little pres
ent of some kind to take along, and
Mrs Potter's aunt got a beautiful il
Illuminated sign enclosed in walnut
frame, and bearing the inscription,
Heaven Bless Our Happy Home"
and Mr.. Potter's uncle got another
one with the legend. "True Love New
er Dies"
When the provisions were all ready
the party started for the house They
wanted to surprise the happy couple
as much as possible, so they con-
cluded not to ring the door bell. But
Mrs. Potter's aunt softly opened the
front door, and assembled the party
in the hall Then at a given signal,
they opened the sitting room door,
and burst in with loud laugh.
The scene that met their eyes was
very interesting one Mr. Potter
was lying upon the floor with his nose
bleeding, and Mrs. Potter was leaning
over him with rolling pin in her
hand, with which she had evidently
been hammering the husband of her
bosom. Both Of them looked hot and
mad When the company came in,
Mrs. Potter hid the rolling pin in the
skirts of her dress, and Potter picked
himself up, with a sickly attempt at
smile lowering about his fact
Good joke, wasn't it?" said Potter,

Eyes, I will"
It'd like to see you"
you would, hey? You think I
darsen't because these people are
sticking themselves in here where
where they're not wanted! I'll show

Then Mrs. Potter uplifted her weap-
on and made a dash at him, whereup-
on Mr.. Potter walked as RAPIDLY as
ne could, consistently with dignity,
out through the door into the ward
linen the company concluded to adj

Mrs. Potter's aunt went into Jones'

oUINTNE IN ITALY,
State Sells II and Uses the Profit TO
Fiuht Malaria.

iNHt WdIdliGs
The sale Of quinine in Italy is car.
ried on in a peculiar fashion. The gov
eminent sells the drug to the peasants
in malarious districts and then uses
the profit to fight malaria
The first aim is to protect the
peasants from mosquitoes. But it Is
almost impossible to get them to take
care of the wire screens which are
given them for their houses
AS for their wearing wells and
gloves when they go abroad, as they
are urged b. the authorities to do,
anybody who knows the italian peas
ants can guess how MANY of them will
do it.
The government has therefore to
depend chiefly on draining and filing
up the pools where mosquitoes breed
and on what is called bonificamento,
or the improvement of the land in
various ways. Last year the govern
ment sold to the peasants about $780,
900 worth of quinine, with net profit
of about $4,000.
