Wiiding at His Best.

American enthusiasts regarded the
fact that the match was played on the
Fourth of July as happy omen, and
they looked to Mclaughlin TO take the
championship to the United States for
the first time since its institution, in
1877.
Wilding played the greatest game OF
his life. The match from start to fin
sh was of the heroic order, and while
the American made many brilliant re-
coveries, he proved hardly a match for
his older and more experienced oppo-
nent. He suffered, too, somewhat from
i'll luck and his service was not up 10
his best, being as a rule much weaker
than in the previous matches he had
played since his arrival in England.
His first service many times resulted
in fault. Wildng on the other hand.
was at the top Of his form, and in
order TO win Mclaughlin would have
had to play above his usual game.
When the two opponents faced each
other at the start the great disparity
between them was at once evident.
Wilding is a grown, broad-shouldered
man, beside whom Mclaughlin looked
more like a boy.
The New Zealander at first was
much worried by the Americans SER
vice. but as the match proceeded he
became more accustomed to it and,
standing exactly at the back of the
line, returned it with precision.

feed crop that is d e sir e d. Marketable cattle can be pro- duced in any section of Arkan- sas for from three to three and half cents per pound. About 45 per cent of the land in Arkansas is under fence but not near that amount is under cultivation. All of the idle land should be given to live stock farming. The scost is little.
 The opportunities for all kinds of live stock farming that we have in Arkansas now cannot be found in another state in t h e Union. It is not necessary to slaughter the calves to make money out of live stock now. The number of calves decreased from AT, 961 in 1900 to 822, ITO in 1910. The South in the future is the center of the live stock in- dustry, and Arkansas is a part of the South that is ideally adapted to it's new position.
 And another thing wou d have you remember is, that the number of people is increasing every year but that the number of acres of land is not increasing. So my advice is to be slow to part with your land if it is good. If it is part good and part poor, raise live stock and live stock crops and build the poor land up. Live stock farming must be mastered in the South for h e future. Why not Arkansas? Live stock will pay:

ARKANSAS AND THE LIVE STOK INDUSTRY

The number of people in the United States in the yesr 1907 was ST, IFS, 958. In 1913 there are 96, 755, 573. The number of cattle in the United States in 1907 was 72, 534,0 The num- Der in 1913 is 56,517,00O. The population is constantly increas- ing while the number of cattle to supplp that population is con- stantly decreasing. The South only can change these figures.
 Arkansas has a land area of 33,6l6,000 acres. Only 8,O76, = 254 acres of which are improved farm land. In other words there are at least 10000, ,000 acres O
 land in Arkansas that can be in part or entirely devoted to live stock raising. Turned out fields, the gecrease in the number of cattle end bogs. the steady in- crease in population, and the wonderful adaptahility of Arkan- sas to the industry, calls to our minds very forcibIy the import ance of live stock on a we'll re- gulated southern farm. Aark- ansas steers and Arkansas hogs have topped the market in St. Louis and Omaha a great many dimes during the season. and yet 50 few have specialized on cattle and hogs. They will pay.
 Ap 1910 the average price of hogs for the United States was S6.86, ane in 1900 it was $3.69.
 The price of the steer has been advancing each year. With all these advantages added to the stock raising industry, yet the opportunities have not decreased an Arkansas. We have plenty of surplus land, plenty of water, olenty of grass and range, anc aand that will grow any kind oi

There is there a man in hiding and he
has been in hiding for two days. He
has been visited by two men from
Montgomery who rode in Peerless
automobile. If the man in hiding is
Lacy, he is to all practical purposes
already in Jail. If he is not Mr.. Lacy,
then we will have to take up another
of the innumerable trails which have
presented themselves"
So closely is the net being drawn ABOUT
Theo Lacy, absconding clerk OF the state
convict department that his arrest is mo-
mentarily expected. Burns operators are
said to have traced Lacy to within very
narrow radius of his present hiding place,
probably within a block of the house in
which he is seeking refuge, and 1t Is SAID
to be not a question of days but mat
ter of hours before he will be<eaken into
custody. This information was given out
late this afternoon by #. c. Daniels,
one of the leading Burns operators In
the country who has been in the capitol
for the past few days, seeking some clew
that might lead to the arrest of Lacy.
Mr.. Daniels has number of other de-.
tectives working under him and he de-
clares that he has succeeded in tracing
the absconding clerk to within block
OF his hiding place.
Whereabouts Known
knowledge of Lacys whereabouts is
said to be also in the possession of other
persons besides the detectives employed
to run him to earth. Several persons
about the hotel lobbies tonight admitted
that they had heard of the absconding
clerks place of refuge and, while not
doubling his arrest, intimated that Lacy
might endeavor to make certain compro-
misses withs the governor and other Off
cials before surrendering himself. This
belief seems to be shared by the Burns
operators here. Mr.. Daniels admitted this
afternoon that he expected overtures to
be made to him by friends of Lacy, assert
ing that already he had some intimation
of such proposals. Mr.. Daniels declared
that he had been approached during the

money withdrawn. He admitted that his
bank had made loan of about $50 to
Chaplain Jenkins, of the convict depart
ment.
Mr.. Harold said that Mr.. Oakley had
no definite arrangement with his bank as
to the amount of funds to be left on
deposit, though he declared that he un-
derstood that Mr.. Oakley would keep an
average balance of $4,000 or $4,000.
Il did not most anxiously want the
convict department business" said Mr..
Harold, because we are a small bank,
and [ did not care TO handle such large
sums
II told Mr.. Oakley that I could not
handle his account when he gave me q
days notice before he withdrew any
large sums of money
Mr.. Harold insisted that there was no
consideration whatever or any influence
which induced Mr., Oakley to open an
account with his bank. He said that Mr..
Lacy had made the first deposit for the
convict department
According to Mr.. Harold. Mr.. Lacy
came to him on Saturday, March s, and
told him that he had just deposited in
his bank $l03,S6S.92, but that he expected
to draw out this sum by the following
Tuesday
Mr.. Lacy told me- said Mr.. Harold,
that the examiners were at work in his
department, and that he wished to as
semble all of the funds OF the depart
ment by the following Tuesday, He
asked me to collect all the items depos-
tied, so that he might have cash to turn
over to the state treasurer.
II told Mr.. Lacy that / did not think
would have time to convert to cash
all the items and checks deposited, but
that l would try to do so, giving him all
the currency l could get hold Of, and the
balance in drafts"
Asked as to whether he had consulted
any official of the department in re-
gard TO Mr.. Lacy's demands, Mr.. Har-
old said he had called upon Mr.. Oakley
at his home.
Witness said that Mr.. Oakley told him
that it was all right to give Mr.. Lacy
all the cash he wanted, giving his full
approval to the demands of his chief
clerk.
II Immediately went to the Montgom-
cry Bank and Trust company and made
arrangements with that bank to let Mr..
Lacy have the currency he wished
Mr.. Lacy came to SO me on Tuesday
following and asked me how much money
| had been able to collect"
II told him $4,000 We then went to
the Montgomery Bank and Trust company
with Mr.. Lacy, and introduced him to Mr.
Curvan, of the collection department of
that bank. The money was gotten to-
gether, but 1t made such large package
that we suggested to Mr.. Lacy that we
pat the money in a large wooden box"

IS STILL A PUZZLE

Examiners have accounted for $4,000
of the $4,000 but the remaining $4,000
has been puzzle for several days 1t
was announced today that no proof
could be found that Lacy got any of
this money and when this was known
state officials set to work TO find out
where the money went.
State Bank Examiner c. Il. Boyd
went Monday to a bank in Centreville,
Bibb county, to trace what had become
of the check for $6262.2S and his re-
port is the cause of the fourth count in
the charges against oakley.
The preliminary hearing of oakley
will be held on Friday morning, March
