REGISTRY FEE
 TO ADVANCE

If you have letter to register and want to save two cents, don't wait till next week, for after November l Uncle Sam is going to charge 10 cents instead of cents as his fee for the service. But while raising the price he will grant one concession. He will hold himself responsible to the amount of $50 for lost registered packages. Heretofore he disclaimed responsibility above the $25 mark. This concession is expected to increase greatly the volume of registry busl- ness and the business of the express companies in handling packages over $50 and less than S100 in value is eX- pected to be cut into heavily. In mak- ing the registry fee 10 cents the gov ernment is merely bringing the cost back to what it was some years ago. The present increase is due, according to officials of the postofice, depart ment. to the increased cost of hand ling mails over long distances. The postmaster general may change the registry fee at his discretion, the mini mum being s cents and the maximum 20 cents.

NORMALITES DEFEATED
TEAM LOSES TO THE LITTLE ROCK HIGH
 SCHOOL.

Little Rock high school, secondary champions of the state, of Little Rock, defeated the State Normal School sec ond team here yesterday afternoon by the score of 80 to 0, in an easy man. ner. The Normal gained on downs only about three times, and were out classed at all stages of the game. The high school repeatedly worked the for ward pass for good gains and had no difficulty in circling the Normal ends or plunging through their lines.
 Although the game yesterday was scheduled with the second team of the Normal, it was thought by several that the first team should play the Lit tie Rock boys in order to make the game more interesting, but in view of the game Monday with Ouachta, Coach Wilson thought it best not to risk his regular team, as he wanted them in perfect condition for the game with the Philadelphia college boys. An effort was made to have the game transferred to the Hendrix College team, but an agreement could not be reached, though the visitors were will ing to make the change.

The time for holding the primary election, the ques- tion as to whether the county and state primaries shall be held together or separately, and the method of se- lecting judges to hold the elections, will all doubtless be determined at this meeting Under the recent primary election law the judges must be se- lected by the county central commit tee, instead of being selected by the voters at the polls, as has been done in this county for number of years. It is expected that after the commit tee meets and arranges for the pri- mary the county campaign will open up in earnest.

NO BID AGAINST
 MILLICAN'S WIFE

A somewhat unusual incident oc- cured at the front door of the court house today when Sheriff w. M. Brady, acting under an execution ls- sued from circuit court, offered for sale fine span of mules, a good two horse wagon, and buggy, to crowd of Faulkner county citizens, and after Mrs. M. E. Milligan, wife of L. E.. Milligan, against whom the execution was issued, made bid of $60 for the property, no one in the crowd would raise the bid, and the property was sold to Mrs. Mllgan for $60.
 M F. Milligan was convicted of murder and sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary at the January term of court here for the killing of Joe Herring, and is now serving his term in the penitentiary. The costs of the prosecution of Milligan amounted to several hundred dollars, and under the law his personal property is liable therefor The wagon and buggy and mules, which Sheriff Brady levied on some time ago, was virtually all the property Milligan had, and when his wife appeared and made bid for the property no one in the good-sized crowd that was assembled wanted bargain badly enough to bid over her, so the sheriff had no alternative but to let her purchase the property at her own figure

In this mornings Gazette Coach

In this mornings Gazette Coach Van Buren of the Little Rock team has quite lengthy interview about yesterdays game between the Little Rock high school and the Normal sec ond team. An extra from the inter view reads as follows:
 We arranged the game with the understanding that we were to play the Normal's regular team. Thursday night we were told that Hendrix had cancelled their game with Cumberland College and would play us instead. When we arrived in Conway, Coach Staples of Hendrix told us that his team had been in 35-minute scrim- mage the night before and that he didn't care to put them in game against us. So finally, Coach Wilson said that he would play us. From the way the boys played today l am very sorry that we couldn't have gotten chance at the first team of either college"
 MT. Van Buren states in the above interview that his understanding was that his team was to play the Normal first team, when as a matter of fact such was not the understanding. When Coach Van Buren telephoned to the Normal coach asking for a game here yesterday he was told that on account of the game with Ouachita Monday it would be impossible for the first team to play the game; that it would be too close to the game with Ouachita to risk the regular team in yesterdays game However, as Coach Van Buren insisted on game with the Normal, an agreement was reach ed to the effect that if he would bring his team here that the Normal would select team from her football squad and give them the game. After reach ing Conway an effort was made to have the game transferred to the first team of Hendrix, but an agreement could not be reached, and Coach Long streth told him that he would go ahead and play his second team.
 As the Little Rock team solicited the game with the Normal, there is no reason under the sun why they should become indignant, as the Gazette states, and that they received unfair treatment in Conway unless it is just to be sore.
