CENSUS BUREAUS REPORT
GINNING IN COUNTY A DE- CREASE OF 1,51O BALES FROM
 PREVIOUS YEAR.

According to report of the United States census bureau released for publication today, the total number of bales of cotton ginned, excluding lin ters, from the crop of 1911 in Faulk- ner county, Arkansas, was 18,O29 This is decrease of 1,510 from the ginning of the 1910 crop, which was 19,539 bales, and an increase of 3,39O from the ginning of the 1909 crop, which was 14,639 bales. The ship ments from Conway this season al ready exceed by over 1000 bales the total ginning in the county.
 According to the bulletin, the total number of bales g med in the state, counting round bales as half bales and excluding linters, was 908,014, com pairing with 798,15G from the 1910 crop and 697,603 from the 1909 crop. Mississippi county, with 54,084 bales, had the largest ginning of any county in the state the past season, the next largest being Crittenden county, with 42,905. Several counties in the state raise no cotton at all The smallest number n any county in which cotton is ginned, was Newton, with GA bales.

} HOME RUNS
 IN ATKINS CAME

The Conway high school lads ham mered out three home runs in Satur- days game at Hendrix park with At kins high school, easily winning by a score of 10 to 1. Jess Legg, the local catcher, won bat offered by E. V. Leverett for making the first home run of the season, in the second inn ing. In the eighth inning Douglass Legg rapped one far over the left field fence for four bases, hitting the first pitched ball of the inning. On the next pitched ball Harlan Thorn ton lifted the sphere to almost exactly the same spot, making the circuit This is probably the first time in the history of baseball that two consecu- lively pitched balls resulted in home runs. Charles of the locals pitched steadily throughout, while Wild of the visitors was batted freely. Atkins CT. rcrs were numerous, while Conway fielded well.
 Conway goes to Hot Springs Wed nesday for two games with the higf school of that city. The locals have now won two and lost none and arc out for another state championship.

A BIG CANTAL0UPE
 ACREAGE EXPECTED

Seed for 300 acres of cantaloupes were received today by Secretary w. D. Cole, Jr., of the Faulkner County Truck Growers Association, who states that the entire amount will more than likely be planted in this vicinity. We have over 200 acres subscribed to be planted in canta- loupes," said MT. Cole today, land 1 am confident there will be many addi- tional acres planted"
 Mr. Cole said it is very important in growing a cantaloupe crop for ship ment that everyone plant his seed on the same day, so that the crop will all mature at the same time and be ship ped in carloads. He will send out one day this week full instructions to all members of the association, and ad- wise them what day to plant.
 Mr. Cole said that in favorable year cantaloupes are one of the most profitable crops that can be grown. While failures are rare" he said, "they do occur occasionally, the crop being different from strawberries in that respect. But when good crop is made, which is nearly every year, the growers make a killing One farmer in Crawford county last spring lacked only $11 of selling $3,- 900 worth of cantaloupes from 10 acres, and S100 per acre is about the minimum revenue made in this state last season. As the minimum is about five times as much as the average value of cotton grown on one acre, and the amount of labor is about one-third as great, it will be seen that it would pay to grow cantaloupes if every oth- pr cron was a comnlete failureN

Common sense says that We lose our

The hypothesis here to be defended says

that the bodily manifestations must frst

statement Is that we feel sorry because we

Professor James holds that this state
ment is true not only OF the eoarser emo
tions whose expression is obviously largely
physical. but OF the so-called higher emo
tIons as well. as the moral, intellectual and
aesthetic feelings. "A glow, a pang In the

To the same effect Miss Emily Bateman.
one OF the greatest emotional actresses,
says: 'If real tears do not come to my
eyes l do not truly feel what am acting.
nor can impress my audience to the same
extent when l feign emotion as when
really feel 1t. I have acted the part OF
Leah for twenty-four years, and the tears
Away come to my eyes when the little
child says My name Is Leah"
The foregoing instances establish two
facts with positive certainty: ~ To the
successful actors themselves, the feelings,
however induced, are for the time being
real; and (2). there is an exceedingly
close relation between the mental state and
the physical expression. no matter whether
the physical expressian be regarded as the
cause or as the effect Of the mental.
According to the view Of modern psy-
chology, 1t is only half the truth to say
that there is an intimate relation between
the mental state and the expression Of feel
cesses. Emotions are regarded merely as
the Accomplishments Of bodily sensations.
and can not exist without them. Neither
can an emotion which has once been ex-
perienced be recalled to consciousness ex-
cept by recalling the sensations with which
II was originally associated.
Materiallstic as the view expressed
above may seem. 1t has the sanctian Of no
less an authority than Professor James,
who, In fact, goes one step further and as
serts that these kinaesthetic and visceral
sensations not only condition the emotions,
but actually constitute the emotions them
selves. He says:
"our natural way Of thinking about the
emotions is that the mental perception OF
some fact excites the mental affection
called the emotion. and that this latter
state Of mind gives rise to the bodily ex-
preston. My theory, on the contrary, is
that the bodily changes follow directly the
perception Of the exciting fact and that

do not tremble because we are afraid, but
we are afraid because we tremble.
First. the actor having mimicked the
physical expression that causes the emo
tion, he really experiences the emotion.
Then, according to the scientific law OF
habit, physical movements frequently re-
peated, become ingrained in the human or.
ganism. Consequently. IL the actor gets In
the habit Of repeating certain physical ex-
presslans which are emotions, they tend to
become fixed
In order to get to the bottom Of this
mystery, we must ask ourselves: To what
extent does the actor realize" the char.
acter be representa- and by what
LLechanism does he arouse within himself
the feelings and emotions of his part? To
what extent Is his real character perma-
nently Influenced by the fictitious feelings
Of the stage? Does the man who, for ex-
ample. plays the part Of q thief or a
dope fend" actually experience the feel.

to rid himself Of the acquired habits Of

ments. 1t is true, indeed, that few great
players, like Coquelin. reject this view, and
insist on the predominance Of the .zr-7,-
intellectual elements. William Archer, the
well-known English critic, In his Masks
and Faces" has collected evidence on this
point and finds that most successful actors
and actresses declare they must feel the
emotion they express
salvini, for example, says:
"If you do not weep In the agony Of
grief, II you do not blush with shame, II
you do not glow with love. IL you do not
tremble with terror. II your eyes do not
become bloodshot with rage, If, in short.

state and the physical expression. As TAI
ma, the great French tragedian. puts II,
he must have received from nature q
peculiar organization for senslbility, that
common property Of our being; and as all
our emotions are intimately connected with
our nerves. the nervous system In the
actor must be 80 mobile and plastic as 10
be moved by the inspirations OF the poet
as easily as the Aeolian harp sounds with
the least breath OF air that touches t."
The existence Of this heightened suscepti-
bility Is indicated in the case Of many
actors and actresses who assert that the
mere study Of the parts results In even
stronger emotions than they give express
sion to when on the stage.
Further, players In most cases are likely
to attempt only those parts which are
more or less congenial to their natures
The interest may be In the nature Of a
fascination rather than OF actual sympathy
with the character. The man who plays
the thief need not have the uncontrolled
instincts Of the latter, yet he cauld hardly
hope TO carry the part with much success
II those instincts were wholly lacking In
his mental makeup.
There Is also the additional fact that the
study OF the part is carried on at high
pressure and under the stimulus OF inter-
est. An emotional experience which, for
the average Individual. would represent
the sum total Of lifetime may, for the
actor. be concentrated within a period Of
few months. 1t Is real experience none
the less, from the Psychological point Of
view, and as such IL bound to have Its
permanent influence upon the character.
II may be said, therefore. that the saliva

rity or his versatility. The less his genius

sequently the less viii be the influence Of

the adaptability and stability OF bis ner'

The psychological processes involved are
precisely the same as are involved In every
process Of learning or training. The most
efficient training, whether physical, intel
lectual or moral, Is that which tends 10
establish a direct connection between the
given situation and the reaction or re-
sponse. That Is to say, training is al
ways most efficient when II is put in terms
of action. The skilled mechanic Is trained,
not by reading In a book how 70 do thing,
but by having the tool put into his hand
and being required to use It. Moral senti-
ments are best cultivated not by preach
ing. but by inducing the individual to en-
gage in some acts which viii result In
