LAND BEST TO BE FOUND
State Is Able to Furnish Any Kind of Land and Climate Anyone
 Might Want

sioner of Agriculture.)
 Arkansas is situated between the meridians of S9 and 25 West and be- tween the parallels of 33 and 26.30: in the center of the continent and i'll the heart of the Mississippi valley, one state north of the Gulf of Mexico and one state south of Lake Michigan. It's neighbors are Missouri and Illinois on the north, Louisiana and Texas on the south and Oklahoma and Kansas on the west.
 The state covers an area of 52,o00 square miles, has an extreme length rom north to south of 280 miles, and total breadth of 80 miles from east to west. Its surface, is, in places, low and level, in others hilly and in others rough and mountainous. Along the southern and eastern boundaries jt has an elevation of 2,340 feet.
 These differences in longitude, latitude and altitude give Arkansas as great @ variety of climate and soii formations as are to be found in any state in the Union.
 A line drawn from the extreme northeastern corner to the extreme southwestern corner, would divide the state of Arkansas into two sec tions which are almost distinct enough to be two states. However, there are similar to sections in other counties in products, health conditions and altitude, but generally the division il. iustrates the great dlversityNof condi. tions and crops, climate. elevations and industries to be found in Arkan sas.
 On the west side is contained the fruit belt of Arkansas, the coal fields of Arkansas, the zine lead and dia mond mines, the marble quarries, the phosphate fields, Fuller's earth dc poSits and many other valuable min erals, and the cereal belt of Arkansas and the other crops that flourish in a cool climate, high elevation and noun tainous country.
 There are three level plateau sec bloiiS III ILAo WSSL uiNlolOl LII Al hSlii sas. One is in Benton county, another in southern Washington county and the other in Boone county. All oi these plateaus are in the great fruit and stock raising belt of Arkansas.
 Through the central portion of this west division flows the Arkansas river, which furnishes cotton anu corn country through the entire sec tion and some of the most fertile lan5 to be found in any state in the United States. The White river traverse: the northern portion, and the Saline Little Red river and Ouachita rivers traverse the southern portion of this side of Arkansas affording wide strips of good farming land peculiar to river bottoms. In these bottoms many southern crops flourish. The pla teaus of the north, west and south west are best adapted to fruits, grasses wheat and corn. The central south ern portion of this division is best ant is well adapted to general and truck is well adapted to general farming anj truck.
 All the health resorts of Arkan sas are situated in this division, they are: Hot Springs, Mount Nebo, Si

BULKELEY r, N. F. A. 4.
New Londoners Swamp Academy Nine on Local Diamond-Home Team in Poor Form.

Bulkeley swamped the N. F. A. team r to 4 Saturday on the Academy cam pus before a good sized crowd and it was some slaughter while it lasted. The Academy used two pitchers, Gro ker and English, both being hit hard. It seemed as though the team depend ed too much upon CrOken, for when he went up all the players went up with him. If the team had given their pitchers any kind of support at all the score would not have been so big. Lord caught a ragged game and the New London boys literally stole his glove, running wild on the bases. Murray was at sea at shortstop and in fact the whole team with the ex- ception of Standish in left field played as though 1t was their first game of the season.
 Standish made two beautiful catches of hard hit balls. One of them he picked out of the trees and the other he caught near the fence stabbing it one hand. He also got two hits out of five times at bat One of them was for three bases. Fletcher also got two hits, one of them for an extra base.
 On the other side, Brazil pitched a

MOORE FANS FIFTEEN OPPONENTS
New Hospital Recruit Makes Good in First Appearance Sided Contest at Brewsers Neck Results in Victory For Home Team Over Wilnantic.

Hospital won from a team from Will limantic Saturday afternoon at tho Hospital grounds by a one sided score of 17-1. The visitors were minus their hegular catcher and before the game had gone very far it was evident that the visitors were sadly handicapped by his absence, as Houle made poor substitute. Houle was relieved by Daunchy, but he proved no better and to make the game a little more interesting Collins of the home team volunteered his services and from then on the game was better played. Had the visitors brought a good catcher the game would have been closer as they played good ball individually. The feature of the game was the pitching of Moore, the new man secured by the Hospital from the south He had great speed fine control and a good assorJ- ment of slants and showed up well with the willow. getting three hits out of five times at bat. Hospitals are highly pleased at his showing and are looking forward for the games when he will be pitted against Bill Austin, which will be before long, and feel confident of taking Bills measure, and a battle royal is expected.
 The score:
