TO GO AFTER TRACK
 MEET H0N0RS
Pine Bluff High Athletes Must Show < Themselves Fit Before Being
 Entered in State Events.


 E The call made by Athletic Coach L. E. Bassett, of the High School, Fri day for a meeting of High School boys who will do work on the track this year for yesterday afternoon, resulted in the convention of about thirty boys, all aspirants for places on the team to represent the local High at the annual High School track meet in Little Rock about May IS. The meeting was quite enthusi- astic over the prospects for a good track team.
 One thing that was definitely de- cided upon was the ruling that no boy would be taken to Little Rock on the team who did not train un- til that time. This is significant to those familiar with athletics, mean ing that if there is any good men in the school they must show it be- fore time for the track meet or they will not get to go. Several boys have already entered into the work enthusiastically and have been prac- ticing weight throwing for some time. No running has yet been started owing to the fact that there is no suitable place ill the city for training ground.
 Coach Bassett is now perplexed as to where his men are to run, and as soon as he has solved the question he will begin a hard workout of all candidates. The old site of Jones Park, known as the Rutherford place, on South Main street, may probably be selected for the training place if it can be secured.
 There is some good material in the school and by the excellent coach ing of MT. Bassett it ought to show up we'll in the big Little Rock meet. The Pine Bluff High has never dis

DilleJ and others, of Palestine, Texas, i'll which the Simmons National Bank of this city sought to secure possession of certain stock in the Dilley Foundry Company, supposed to have been owned by F. L. Dilley, but which, in realty was held by the Dilley Found- i " Company, George M. Dilley and ! others, to secure an Indebtedness. The Simmons National Bank planned to make the stock apply to secure a large amount that had been borrow ed from the bank Gcy F. L.

 Judge Elliott rules that the Dilley Foundry Company is entitled to and do have a first lien upon the stock 10 the amount of indebtedness due it by F. L. Dilley. aggregating $16,97S.o9 with interest.
 Unless the lien is satisfied within twenty days Judge Elliott names Cir cult Clerk G. E. Lytle to sell the stocl. to the highest bidder for cash at the s front door of the court house.

NEGRO RACE IS DOING
THE BEST 1T CAN

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Through you let me congratulate E.
r. James, and also confirm his state
ment concerning the article published
on the 18th inst. by A. B. Thomson.
Presumably he has not visited the
places Mr.. James referred him to. or
else his ideas would have run higher
as regards the negro race than shown
in his previous statement. I acknowl-
edge that the majority of the alley resi-
dences are filthy. but on the other hand,
let fim not make bold example Of
1t, but show his charity and intelligence
by adding just 5 cents to the donations
of others to help improve these condi-
tions.
In how many Of these cases can he or
any Capital citizen see where the occu-
pants of said places are compelled to do
laundry work in order to raise money
to pay for shelter, and are unable to
do their entire duty? If he be under,
or over fifty, childhood teachings or
experience tell him that those enslav-
ened times differ greatly from the pres
ent.
Whatever bushes he be doing. he ev-
identity realizes there are hundreds of
negroes who can do the same. We will
leave II to him to decide whether that
is an uplift, downfall, or standstill.
Nevertheless let us applaud the re-
mainder of his race for the help they
have rendered in this much needed and

WHO GETS THE PROFIT
FROM SALE OF EGGS ?

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Who derives the benefit from the high
prices of eggs. the farmer, commission
merchant, or the retailer?
At the present price Of feed II costs
the farmer 90 cents a dozen to produce
them. 1t costs him from l to . cents a
dozen to get them to the market. 1t
costs him at the present price 4 2-3
cents to have them sold: his egg cases
cost him Il cent each. He often gets
some broken while in transit, and he
loses a hen once in a while. At the
lowest calculation II costs him at least
" cents Per dozen to raise and dispose
of his eggs. At the present quotation.
which is 33 cents, he would get a profit
OF D cents IA dozen.
The commission merchant has these
eggs consigned to nim. to be sold on
commission. At the present quotation,
which is % cents a dozen. he gets ID
cents dozen. or so cents a case OF
thirty dozen.
The retailer goes down to the whole
he pays So cents for the highest grade
of strictly fresh candled eggs; it costs
him u cent a dozen drayage; total, 3Sk
cents. | notice the same paper that
quotes the wholesale price 80 cents
quotes the retail price as 45 cents. This
would give the retailer a profit of ~.
cents a dozen. Can't Washington get a
man like Mayor Shank. of Indianapolis,
or the Rev. Madison c. Peters, of New
York. 10 get this one necessity sold al
a reasonable profit, so that a poor per-
son can tell what q fresh egg tastes
like? ]. LEWIS MILLBOURN.

Here's a Book
THE IRON WOMAN. BY Margaret
Deland. published by Harper 6
Brothers, New Yo-k.)

1t was mother love beautiful, inspir-
Ing, and redeeming that proved the
awakening of Helena Richie. But
mother love uncomprehending, a SELF
binding passion, can prove curse to
itself and the child. This is the theme
presented by Margaret Deiand with
n ast-rIy effect in The Iron Woman"
which is in very true sense a sequel, or.
rather, most perfectly a complement of.
her beautiful earlier work. The vital
thought that fills it: the faithfulness OF
logic of it's supremely human story
make a novel of absorbing interest, and
of worth little short of the best in
George Eliot.
The iron woman gained her name not
| only because Of the founGries she
owned and managed. but because In
her own personality she was a symbol
of crude strength. The dominant force
of her life, nevertheless, was tender
love for her only son, to whose esthetic
| idoalism his mothers coarse, disagree
able exterior was torture. Her mind
could tolerate nothing not material and
| useful. her temperament allowed her

GIVES A DEFINITE
RETIREMENT PLAN

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Recently there has been a great num-
ber Of articles regarding the retirement
OF Federal employees, but none seem to
give any definite plan CT their IDEAS.
There is approximately $4,000 en-
Iloyes, and their salary rangers from
$40 TO 5000 per annum. Could not the
Government handle this movement until
it would be self-supporting on the same
basis as the Pennsylvania Railroad Re-
lief Association and tax each employe
a fixed amount according to the salary
received, arranging them in classes.
namely:
Class A, $3.50 to s72o per annum. 30
cents per month.
Class B. $40 TO SLIGO per annum. 75
Class c, $500 to 1850 per annum. 81
per mouth.
Glass D. $500 to s2,4oo per annum. sl.25
Class E. $500 to $500 rei annum. sl.5o
per month.
Glass F, $500 and over. 81 per month.
Now. l think the average amount
would be at the lowest est 81 per head.
ceipts 1910. 900 approximately:
Now there is not over 5000 employees
eligible for retirement at the present
time, and If this amount was handled
to meet all demands.
The Pennsylvania railroad has three
I classes in their relief association, namely:
A, at 70 cents per month; B.. 1T 81 50 per
month: c, at 81 rs per month, and they
pay death, accident and sick bcnefits,
aside from the pension feature. and
their surplus cash balance ranks among
the richest societies of their kind.
There is only ono lad feature in this
plan. and that is the underpaid clerk,
who does not receive a living salary
say hose who receive less than H.S'i
per anrum. There should be something
done in their behalf. An increase such
! as was read in Congress last tnrm-a
slicing scale of from s to 20 per cent.
Those receiving 81, soc per cert in
crease. and those receiving $4S0 a 20 per
cent increase.
The pension plan is no direct help or
relief to the employc who does not RS
ce'Se enough salary I" met the .. st OF
living. and something should be done
and done at once in their behalf.
