 In my judgment, the town Of For rest City. on account of the railroad facilities and the abundant supply oi gum and other timber available for purpose. is all excellent location.
 A plant. such as l propose, would bring to Forrest City. yearly, very .dfge amount of money and furnish q ready market for millions ot gum and ther timber that would otherwise go 70 waste. 1t would also give employ neut To labor, and thus increase the population of the city.
 Many cities are now offering bonuses tQr the location of manufacturing pants within their borders, and other cities are offering free building sites. As an example, and not a great dis tance from your city, the Business Mems Club of the town Of Brinkley, and within the past ten days, has oi- fered me free site in the heart oi the city, so to speak, consisting of three acres of ground, with switches running into the property rom tue Rock Island and also from the cotton Belt railroads.
 l have found an idle plant within your city, formerly used as a spoke factory, which can be converted into stave plant at an expense of some thing like ten thousand dollars, out side of the staye machinery. which would be very well adapted for the purpose for which I want it, were 1t not for the lack of sufficient ground owned by the Forrest City Spoke Go. rom which l can secure the present plant on reasonable terms

Dick Dead.

Dick Cox, as he familiarly known, died Sunday at his home in Johnson township, of pneumonia. and was buried Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock in the Hughes cemetery. The funeral was largely attended. He was a good man, and highly esteemed by very large circle of friends who had been drawn around him by his sterling in. tegrity and true manhood. He leaves wife and several children to mourn their loss, and we would that we could write some word to assuage their grief. But words seem cold and unfeelingS, and we can but commend them to God, who alone can succor the widow and orphans.

The monotony of the dull season at
the University of Michigan, which
lasts from the close of the football
season to the opening of the indoor
track games, was broken by the brief
visit Of Coach Fielding H. Yost, and
by a controversy over the selection
of members of the board of control Of
athletics.
The members Of the Athletic associ-
alton took a direct slap at the power
of the directors of the Athletic asso-
citation by passing a resolution ask
ing the regents to provide for the Sc
lection of the student members of the
board in control of athletics by d.
rect vote of the Athletic association
members.
The discussion of the makeup of
the board of control, however, may re-
suit ultimately in a sufficient change
In the method of selection of the stu
dent members to make a return to
the conference possible, and at the
same time effect a breaking down of
the domination now exercised over
Michigan's athletic policy by Director
of Athletics P. G. Bartelme.
AS now constituted, Michigan's
board of control consists of Director
Bartelme, three alumni, four faculty
representatives and three students.
The student members, regardless of
the ruling Of the regents that they
should be chosen by the athletic as

said he, "and it would be foolish to
make any changes at all to provide

more popular rule than that of calling

| Ex0NERATE A PRIZE FIGHTER
Soxer Runs Same Risk as Does Foot.
ball Player, Declares Coroner
Ford of PHILADELPHIA.

"A prize fighter takes the same
chances of death as sotball player
when he enters a contest" said Coro-
ner Ford of Philadelphia the other
day, when he discharged John Kalme,
young pugi1ist, from custody and
exonerated him from all blame in the
death of John Emhof, whose skull was
fractured in bout at the Nonpareil
Athletic Club.
1--WE don't hold football team re.
sponsible for a death, and I see no
reason to hold a prize fighter" added
the coroner.
The bout which ended fatally was
between Emhof, who is better known
as kid" Gardner, and Kalme, known
in the prize ring as Johnny Kahn"
In the fifth round, when both boys
were apparently on even terms, Kalme
struck Emhof straight arm blow on
the jaw. Emhof fell like log and his
head struck the floor. He was carried
from the ring and after attempts to
revive him were made he was hurried
to a hospital, where he died the next
day.
A host Of young fighters, with their
seconds, testified that the blow which
Emhof received was not hard enough
to floor a child. They could not tell
what made Emhof fall
Charles Markus, who qualified as an
expert witness as manager of box
ers, said that the blow was a mere
tap.

UMPIRE TALKS OF BASEBALL
flank o'Day, Veteran ArbIter, Be.
Iieves Sport Has Not Reached
Limit OF lite Popularity.

Baseball may have done some re-
markable growing In the past, but
none Of its performances in that line
will come up to what 1t can do in the
future, according to Hank" O'Day.
the veteran National league umpire.
O'Day doesn't agree with the people
who say that baseball has reached the
highest point 1t can in the way Of
popularity and great attendance.
writes Lester 3. Smith in the Chicago
Evening Post. On the contrary, 1t will
keep on climbing to such an extent
that the problem Of the magnates
within few years will be not how to
get the crowds, but how to take care
of them, in O'Day's opinion.
Some years ago / told James A.
Hart that the time would come when
they would have to be doUble-deck-
ed grand stands in order to handle the
crowds at a baseball game" remarked
O'Day during chat of fans. HE
didn't believe me then, and whole
lot of other people to whom said the
same thing laughed at the idea. They
thought then that baseball had reach
ed a climax and that if it did anything
from that time on 1t would diminish
in popularity rather than increase.
However, the sport kept right on
growing and in that way dumfounded
the folks who couldn't appreciate its
possibilities. They thought that the
astonishing growth of baseball was
abnormal and bound to result, ulti-
mately, in an untimely end for the
whole thing.
Il predicted double-decked grand
stands as makeshift to accommo-
date the throngs, but they came a
great deal sooner than I expected.
They are obliged to have them now
even in the minor leagues, while the
major league club owners are striving
to devise new ways to seat the great
throngs who flock to see important
games.
Having called the turn on the dou-
ble-decked grandstands, l would like
now to make another prediction along
the same line. l think that within a
short time they will build double
decked bleachers, and that they will
be constructed in nearly every park
in the two major league circuits. In
Chicago here they have a row of re-
served seats built up over the bleach
er seats, but l think that before long
they will have an upper deck to the
bleachers that will seat just as many
people as the lower. There is mo
other way to accommodate the crowds
for it is difficult to get larger fields"
Turning his thoughts into other
channels, O'Day remarked during the
same conversation that he thought

A Corner In Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclus'
i've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for IA years.
A year later, however, a factory was
started in Providence, R. l., and with,
in the decade there were eight fac.
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings a
pound. In those days SLIPS was worth
fully three times as much as it is now

tinent. In the lot are two champions,
Fitz Herbert and Novelty. Fitz Her.
bert was the fastest horse at all dis
tances in 1909-1O He not only beat
nigh-class sprinters at their own game,
but conceded big weight to cup
horses over long routes. Novelty was
the largest winner among the two
year-olds last year.
1t is understood that Willie Bren-
nan, once well known as jockey on
the eastern tracks under w. C. Days
tuition, and with Fred Berlew when
that trainer had Newton Benning-
toms horses, will go abroad as the
head lad or forerunner for the Car
Hildreth stable.
Another deal discussed in turf cir
cles is the offer made by Louis Wi
mans of England to John e. Madden
to take control of his lot of thorough
breds during the racing season and
campaign them. While it is scarcely
probable that Madden would care to
leave his breeding farm, in Kentucky,
owing to the fact that the racing sit
uation here is in precarious condi-
ton, he may be prevailed upon to
manage the Winans horses for the
summer months.
During the racing season Madden
has allowed Hamburg place in other
years to run itself under managers.
AS he is trying to find suitable place
in France to locate a stud farm, he is
seriously considering the Winans Of
fer.
