"Epery Knock Is a Boost"
Big meet coming.

Today marks the closing Of entries
for the Georgetown indoor meet, Wash
ington's annual track classic. at Con-
vention Hall two weeks hence.
While it is impossible, until the list
IS completed. to give any idea of the
number OF athletes who will compete,
the reports of the teams coming from
other places are such as to justify the
belief that the games will be the equal
Of any ever held by Georgetown. which
is the highest compliment that can be
paid to meet in these parts.
Practically every club, college, and
school athlete in this city has already
sent entries to Manager wymard, and
the indications are that Baltimore will
be more strongly represented that ever
before.

Shows all training stunts.

An effort is being made by a Western
syndicate to get complete set of mo-
tiOn pictures of all the big league clubs
in their training work in the South.
The idea is to allow the fans to get
a look at their favorites before the gong
rings, and it seems to be a good one.
If McAleer decides to allow the Ma.
tionals to cavort in front of the ma
chine there is no question but that the
films will draw if they reach here before
the club returns.

The biggest crowd 1 ever saw at a
basketball game in Washington GER

town won from Virginia.
1t took just such pushing as Virginia
did in the first half to rouse that
Georgetown team, but the way those
blue and gray jerseyed players swept
the floor in the closing period left little
TO be desired.
Having bowed to Georgetown in foot

a safe bet that the relay team from

International News Special

International News Special
 New York. March a-"Knockout" Brown made Ad Wolgast, the light weight champion of the world, figure as a preliminary fighter tonight in a ten round battle at the National Sporting Club. There never was a second in which the Brown admirers felt worried. Brown always carried the fight to his rivals corner. The story of the entire fight can be told in few words.
 Brown would whil over that stang ing left to Wolgast's face or body and the champion would hug like a bear. He could slam few into Browns body, but the New York box CT always steered to safety. In the last three rounds Wolgast throwed what little science he had to the winds, and tried to land "haymak- er." but he never got chance. The recorls will claim Wolgast the cham pion, but if he meets the boy who whipped him twice so far, he will have to go like fury to retain his title

MONEY L! MADE IN
 RICE---IS PROVEN
Miss Frances Roberts, of Wabbaseka, Exhibits d Beautiful Model Made
 of Rice Grown in This County.

Money can be made from Arkansas rice. Rice grown in this state and county and the rice with which the money is made is fine specimen of the cereal. The fact that the rice of this county is of the highest grade and that money can be made from the small grains is demonstrated to Pine Bluffians by the exhibition of "rice dollar" in the Simmons National Bank, the work of Miss Francis Rob- erts, of Wa abbaseka, this county The handsome handiwork in the dollar was admired by many Pine Bluffians
 yesterday and created much com lnent
 The majestic eagle and the inscrip- tions surrounding it is the side of the dollar that Miss Roberts has so ar tistically formed with all parts of the. rice plant grown by her at the home of her father, Charles Roberts, at Wabbaseka. Miss Roberts deftly used the rice plant in practically all of its stages. from the green plant to maturity and refining. The eag- les wings are handsomely braided in the rice beans in their crude form Around the edge of the design is the "one dollar United States of Amer ica" wording, and above the Eagle in tiny letters is the inscription "In God We Trust" The model is about a foot in diameter and below the dollar are the words "money in Ark ansaw Rice"
 It is stated that the land from which the rice was produced will average eighty bushels to the acre. A number of planters at Wabbaseka and citizens of this city who have farms at Wabbaseka have devoted no little attention and speculation in the rice cultivation recently and it has been demonstrated that the soil of this county is unusually suitable for rice culture A large acreage was plant ed in rice during the past fall. Miss Roberts is a niece of Captain N, T Roberts, of this city.

Whereas, be was faithful citi.
zen, true to his country, devoted
father, his wife having long since
preceded him to the grave; honest
and upright in every walk of life;
and
Whereas, in his service to his
country, when it was rent by the
terrors of war, he was loyal to the
cause which he espoused under the
Southern Flag, and never faltered
in his devotion to duty; and
Whereas, in his death we have
lost a valued brother, VINO had
long been a time honored member
OF our order, he being more than
four score years of age at his death;
the country valuable citizen, who
was honored by the large circle of
those who knew him best, he being
one of the pioneers of this country,
and had witnessed its growth for
many years past. Therefore be it,
Resolved, that we deeply deplore
the death of our beloved brother
and hereby tender to his relatives
and kindred our heartfelt coincidence
at this their irreparable loss. We
can only say to them that from his
upright course through life, we
feel sure that he has found and
abiding place where care and
troubles never come.
