At Last! These words are
eagerly whispered by all of the
pupils of j. J. II. S. Any one
CHANGING TO overhear them might
wonder for a moment as TO their
meaning. What else could they
mean but that the long looked
for Basket Ball season has ar
rived? There is good reason for
excitement and expectancy. not
only because there is a larger
turnout for practice, but also
because the material shows
favorable signs for the making
of splendid teams. The girls
, have practiced so steadily and
skillfully that they have good
reason for the whispering among
themselves concerning the" drub-
bing" they plan to give Beaver
ton December 18th, and also their
hopes to get revenge on other
teams who have defeated them
the last couple of years. The
boys also show prospects of
splendid first team. As there
are lS boys playing, second
team can easily be organized.
As both the first and second
teams wear the same kind of
uniform. n novel scheme was
thought of in order to tell them
apart. The first team TO wear
toques and the second team go
bare headed. On the whole
James John hasn't much to worry
about when il comes TO basket
! ball.
The newly organized Literary
Society of the III. S. is now well
started. At a meeting of
membership last week. the con-
stitution submitted by the COM
lmittee was read. discussed and
finally adopted by unanimous
vote. An executive board of
six was also elected by the plan
of the preferential ballot. The
purpose of the organization is
two fold: briefly. 10 give OPP
portunity for public speaking in
| It's various forms, and. secondly,
opportunity for pleasant social
/ intercourse among the student
body of the II. S. The first
Evenings entertainment on Fri
day. December >, fulfilled both
of these needs. The program
in the auditorium consisted of
moving pictures in the form
of shadow pantomime. As adj
vertised ON the bulletin. there
! were three reels" The Ballad
of am Oysterman, Lochinvar. and
Gentle Alice Brown. I'm addition,
, Flavius West gave a violin solo,
and II. S. mixed quartette
sang for the illustrated song,
, "A Tale of a Tack. " After adj
. journment of the society by the
president, the members repaired
to the gymnasium. Here boxing
matches between Frank Wright
and Clarence Kreuger Charles
! Cook and Hazen Smith were most
amusing. A basket ball game
followed between two teams of
the girls with the result of a
seven TO seven score. Marie
Bredeson was the star player.
The girls did not play as well as
at some of their practice games.
Miss Ruth Hedall is a welcome
p addition to the roll of the Fresh
= man class.

AIarms.SyStGm

Work was nearly completed yest3 =
day on the removal OF the large bell

}! the city tall to a platform ISL
above that building The bell will be
used as a signal bell in summoning pc
| licemen when needed.
In speaking of the use of the bell,
City Engineer Ansley said that he
thought it would likely be used later
as an alarm bell in a Gamewell fire
alarm system, the installation of
which has been contemplated by the
| city for several years. At this time,
however. the use of the bell will pc
restricted to the summoning of p0-
licemen when needed.
On account of the fact that the po-
lice force is so small, no one of the
policemen is retained on duty at the
city hall throughout the day or night.
AS there are always fremen on duty
at the fire department, right at hand
the calls that are sent in to the police
department will be received at the fire
department, the firemen using the sig
nal bell to summon policemen when
they are called for.

Continued From Page H.

ion of one cent letter postage, he el-
pressed it in no uncertain tone.
Il am heartily in favor" declared
Mr.. Britt, "of the immediate reduction
of letter postage from two cents an
ounce to one cent per ounce, for these
reasons:
1T will promote general intelligence
aid will improve the social relations Of
the PEOPLE.
1t will advance the business inter-
ests of the country, by lowering the
cost of communication.
The rate of one cent an ounce for
letters, with the increase of mail
matter which the reduction will in
dsce, will defray the cost of handling
and II ansportation.
But few public questions are of
such vast concern to the great body Of
the American people, and l earnestly
hope it may receive the early and seri-
Gus attention of congress"

SENATE REMAINS IN
 SESSION UNTIL 5:3O

Little Rock Feb. 13.-Over. come by the oratory spilled on the St. Francis levee district bill, or affected by the heat, the Senate went wild Wednesday afternoon and remained in ses- sion until after 5:30, introducing and reading after 3:30 in the af ternoon twenty>seven bills of all varieties.
 After Senator Gong had an. nounced his intention of obtain ing a leave of absence for several days, in order to remove the em- barrassment of an indictment re- turned against him in Cross county, and the bill changing the system by which affairs of the St. Francis levee district had been made special order by his request, Senator McBee spoke against the bill, Carl Lee for it, and in the afternoon Senator Going made the closing speech, after which the bill was passed. Senator McBee claimed it was tl large land owners who want ed to get control of the board, the large foreign corporations owning 60 per cent of the timber lands of Eastern Arkansas, and if they gained control it meant the planter must pay for the building of t h e levees. He stated the government admits the levees of the St. Francis valley to be the best and cheap est built along the Mississippi river. He also charged Senator Going with playing upon the sympathy of the Senate to get the bill up for consideration, when there had been an agree ment to hold it off for awhile.
 The reply of Senator Going was masterpiece of oratory. He said the people of the district did not want the additional bond issue, and preferred the water upon their lands to having their money spent as it had been in the past. Senator Going stated the members of the board who would be removed under the bill will be only those who have been serving as collectors, attorney, treasurer. or officials, and for which they have drawn heavily in fees He questioned the sil = cerity of the directors when they went to the ends they have to get their appointments and hold them, when they are allowed but S per day for two meeting days a year. Senator Going devoted considerable time to the meNl ods of accounting, in which the items were not itemized, but stated in expenditures per month.
 Senator Going charged the board, after having by legislative act been forced to move the office into Arkansas, had moved it back from Marion to Memphis. He declared the contracts made there were not legal oi binding, but the state courts could not reach them if the board shou q make contracts by which it re ceived rebate upon the yard age of dirt moved into the leyees.
 At the close of the speech the vote was taken and the support CTS of the bill won with 23 votes to s.

LAWYERS
FEAR Proceedings
Judge May Order His De-
pOrtatiOn

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Sept. L.
Lawyers for Harry K Thaw showed
plainly today the nervousness ami
anxiety with which they look forward
to tomorrow's proceedings in the su-
rerior court of st. Francis county.
The decision of Superior Judge
Matthew Hutchinson, on the right CT
John Boudreau, chief of police OF
Coaticook to demand the freedom of
Thaw who M. Boudreau arrested two
weeks ago, as fugitive from Mat
teawan will determine whether there
shall be set in motion at once the
machinery looking to Thaw's deporta-
ton and subsequent extradition from
border state, or whether he shall be
remanded to the Sherbrooke jail to
remain until the session of the king s
bench in October.
If Superior Judge Matthew Hutch
inson sustains the writ of habeas
corpus which was obtained for Bou
dreau by counsel acting for the state
of New York, lThaw may be immedi-
ately turned over to the immigration
authorities for deportation. Against
this contingency, his lawyers have
laid plans for a bitter fight.
Baudreau, in applying for the writ
contends that 'Thaw is held Illegally
not being charged with any crime.
There is the added clause that Bou
dreau, conscious of the illegality OF
holding the prisoner is apprehensive
lest he be liable to damages.
