LOCAL HIGH ELEVEN
 WILL MEET F0RDYCE
Pine Bluff High School Football Team Will Play at Fordyce Tomorrow Other Victory Game Dis
 qualified.

The Pine Bluff High School foot ball team, accompanied by Coach Frank Bloom, Prof. H. r. Srygley and 6 number of rooters will leave this evening at 6:10 o'clock for Fordyee, and will play The Fordyce High School Saturday afternoon Just who will go as membes of the elev- en has not been made known by Coach Bloom, but it is expected that the following will go: Simpson, Whitelaw, Fox, Allen, Fletcher, Bar TOW, Mcintyre, Toney Christopher, Mead, Madding, T. Lyle and D. Lyle. Besides these number of other can didates will go prepared to go into the game.
 Since Pine Bluff defeated the Clary Training School of Fordyee here Monday a week ago, several changes have been made in the posi- tions of the men. The game with Clary was disqualified by the Ath- letic Association, for the reason that Flournoy, who played one of the halves, is graduate of the High School and is now taking post graduate. It being illegal, according to the rules of the Association, for ia postgraduate to play in the games, the victory was disqualified Flour noy is no longer with the team and in his place Fox will probably be substituted in the game Saturday. Simpson will probably be at full and Allen will remain at right half. Knox, at right end who made fine show ing in the Clary game, has deserted the team for some reason It is very probable that Christopher, who began practice short time ago, will be given a chance in the game tomor- row.
 During this week Coach Bloom has been working his men hard with scrimmages against the second team of the High School. and it was only yesterday that he let up on them. by giving them a hard practice in signal work. The finishing touch will be put on this morning at o'clock, when the team will go through signal prac- tice.
 The team is very confident of vic- tory. The High School team de- feated the Fordyce High School team last season by score of 34 to 0, and they expect to double the score this season. It is reported that the Fordyce team has been greatly strengthened, however. and will put up a great fight for the game. It is stated that several old Clary play CTS have joined Fordyce High.
 On their return from Fordyce the boys will go into still harder train ing for two of their hardest games will be played on Saturday. October 22, and Saturday, October 29. The first game will be played with Hot Springs, at Hot Springs, and the sec- ond will be played with the cham pion Little Rock High School On the 18th. The latter game is especially interesting, in that the Pine Bluff boys are going in for the champion ship of the state this season, and Lit tie Rock will be their strongest rival.

Washington, Oct. .f3.-I'hat the postoftiee department will soon ba self-sustaining and that penry pest age for first-class letters is a prob- ability of the near future are state- ments made today by Pos master General Hitchcock.
 Before the close of another fiscal year the federal postal establishment will become selfsustaining. This will be accomplished without curtailing in the slightest the service rendered or lessening in any respect it's effi- ciency.'

Cuts Deficit By One.HaIf.

In private conversation heretofore Mir. Hitchcock has indicated his be- lief that it may be possible within year or two, through the operation of plans he had worked out, to place the postal service on paying basis. During the last fiscal year ended June 30 last he returned to the treas- hfy about $6,000,O0O out of the ac- tual appropriations made by Congress- for the support of the department. The deficit of the department for that 'year was less than for many years, being reduced by approximately one- half from the deficit of $17,0O0 900 of the year before.
 How Saving is Made.
 By an effective reorganization of the Postoffice Department in Wash- ingtOn, including the introduction of labor saving devices. it has been pos- sible, said MT. Hitchcock, to reduce considerably the number of employees and at the same time to obtain in- creased efficiency in the handling of the larger volume of business. Simi- lar methods of reorganization now are being applied to the entire postal service
 With the postal service able to pay it's own way, Mr. Hitchcock is convinc- ed that penny postage for first class letters is not the ''iridescent dream it has been declared. h. that 1 cent postage now is in sight as a practical business proposition.
