BASSETT'S BOYS
 GENERALLY FEARED
Pine Bluff High School Football Team Making Ready 10 Take On StHtt.
 gaFt and Warren.

The Pine Bluff High School football team which so gloriously defeated the Little Rock team Saturday, Is again hard at practice under the eye of Coach Bassett, preparing for ta- game with Stuttgart High School next Saturday at Stuttgart.
 The Stuttgart team is very light and Bassett's team will consist principally of subs, with one or two of the reg ulars in reserve in the event the r1c- city boys get too strong.
 The next game of importance will be with the Warren Training School at Warren Saturday, November 9. Re- ports from the Bradley county town are to the effect that the Warren boys are rather heavy but the loea1 team Is anticipating little trouble in gaining another victory.
 The big score rolled up by the Pine Bluff High School against the Little Rock lads has thrown scare into other teams over the state and they await the coming of the local war riors with troubled brows. Bassett undoubtedly has the heaviest, Tastes: and best trained team in the state and it is predicted from all quarters that the state championship will come to Pine Bluff this year.

system of preserving the memories
OF It's members by means of phono-
graph records of their voices. Now
and again an evening is given to the
stories told by departed comrades.
The men sit and listen almost in awe
to voices out of the past. recounting
fond memories and singing well
known ballads.
From this device the Chicago His
torical society has adopted a plan Of
making imperishable the speeches of
some of the noted persons of tlat
city, reproducing, them with the aid Of
the monograph for the benefit of fu-
ture generations. The same idea is
being used in other cities for perpetu-
alton of the memory Of great men.
The name Of the Borrowed Time
club came from the idea that three
score years and ten is the allotted
time of life and that men who have
lived beyond this mark are living on
borrowed time
in our club several are ninety
years old" Mr.. Barclay said..
