Wilbourne's Order
 Shattered By Newton
Red Cross Seals Are Now On Sale In Lobby of the Local
 POstOffice

Authority denied by Postmaster John D. Wilbourne, was yesterday granted by the United States Govern ment at Washington, to the Associat- ed Charities to sell Red Cross seals in the postoffice building, sometAfng that had been allowing during the ad- ministrations previous to that of Postmaster Wilbourne. When asked for this courtesy, he declared that it was against postal regulations.
 B. R. Newton, supervising archi- tect of the government sent mes- sage to Postmaster Wilbourne, noti- flying him that the sale of Red Cross seals could take place in the build ing under the provisions of circular forwarded November z, 1911, which grants this right.
 It was later claimed at the post office building that this circular had been lost, and for that reason the regulation permitting the sale of the Red Cross seals, was not known.
 The Red Cross seal booth was es- tablished at the postoffice yesterday and there was quite large sale of stamps under the direction of the committee of which Miss Fannie Hant is chairman.

Basketball Game
 Ends In Squabble
Pine Bluff is Given Game at Y. M. c. A. When Stuttgart Coach
 withdrew His Men.

The Leaders of the Y. M. c. A. yesterday afternoon flounced the heavier Stuttgart High School team at basketball by a score of 27 to A, and the night game was forfeited by Stuttgart by a score of ? to 0,when the coach of he visiting team pulled his team off the floor with five min utes yet to play. In the afternoon game Toney scored four goals, How ell three and Alexander three for the Leaders. In this game the Leaders weighed all average of 116 2-5 lbs., while Stuttgart weighed an, average of 130 lbs. to the man.
 In thessecond~ game Stuttgart it is claimed put in heavier man and in the first half, the Leaders scored ol- ly Il points to 23. At this point Coach Osborn of the Leaders put in two heavier men, O'Connor and Christopher, to replace Toney and Clark, and then the score for the sec end half Up to five minutes of time stood Leaders 9 to Stuttgart's 25. The Stuttgart coach then ordered the team off the floor, claiming that the Pine Bluff referee was giving his team the worst of it. No amount of persuasion could induce him to con- tinue the game. By the substitution of the two new men in the second half the weight of the Leaders was raised to .23 pounds, lacking seven

Remarkable Ambldexterity,

Sir Edwin Landseer appears to have been one of the best examples of the ambidextrous person on record In Mrs. Cowden Clark's "Reminiscences" she records her amazement at Edwin Landseer's wonderful feat, when some one was talking of being able to write or draw with the left hand. Landseer remarked, I think can not only draw with my left hand, but I can draw with both hands at once.' Whereupon he took up two pencils and actually drew horse with one hand and dog with the other at the same time."

DISTRICT FUNDS IN TOO MANY HANDS City Doctor" Gives His Views On Defects In I'm
 provement Districts WOULD CENTRALIZE The Money CO3ected For Public Im- proycments.-Says City Not
 Doing It's Part. .,.
WOULD CENTRALIZE

Dr. J. Ii. Hutchinson, the "city doctor,'' looked into improvement districts yesterday in carrying out his survey for the City Beautiful Club, as a representative of the Bu- reau of Municipal Research.
 One thing he found out, he said, was that there are reported some $l4o,Oo0 in outstanding bonds less collections on hand for permanent improvements ia the city of Pine Bluff. These Improvements, or course, s,'. being carried on by the various Improvement districts. That is, the improvement of the city of Pine Bluff is in the hands of thir- teen separate groups of officials. The city vernment is not doing it's part, due 70 present statutory provl- sions in the preparation of plans and specifications in the various parts of the city, in the inspection and super vision of the work as it is going on and in the caring for and accounting for the noney received and paid on them.
 The city has an engineer who is expected % draw up plans and speci- fications :.nd to supervise and in spect work being carried on, added Dr. Hutchinson. The city has a treasurer who could and should re- ceive and care for the money col lected for such improvements and yet as everyone knows by the pres ent arrangement there are as many treasure.s as there are districts. Even though these officials perform their services voluntarily and with out remuneration, it would be better business Iolicy for the city to cen tralize in one office the care and control Of all moneys received from taxpayers for public purposes.
 The fundamental defect in the fact that no definite detailed pro- gram for the permanent improvement of the city covering a series of years, with an eye to the best interest of the whole city rather than any par ticular section or sections, is impos- sible. Every progressive city now adays is at work upon or already has city plan, in which are shown the Improvements that should be made in the city's layout, in the construc- tion of it's streets, the paveme1ts uSed, the location of public build ings, etc.. which is used as a guide ill developing a municipality. Such a city pls.n is not possible for Pine Bluff at the present time because of the requirements that make it pos sible for one district to bond itself for permanent improvement that may not be in line with the best in- terests of the city or at time when it might be better for the same dis trict to bond itself for some other improvement. In order to make pos sible such a scientific program for the development of their city, the taxpayers who are most interested in the cily's future should see that

Value of cocose as Butter.

Cocose is the name of French prod uct manufactured from copra, probab- ly with the addition of small quantities of other substances, which is gaining great popularity among Mohammedans and Hindus for use as butter. It's peculiar recommendation, as compared with other butter substitutes, is that it contains no trace of hog fat or beef ,tallow, and hence does no violence to religious ideas.

"Links" as Applied to Coll.

And speaking of games, how many know the origin of the word links" as applied to the field on which golf is played? The dictionary says tnat links" means stretch of sandy soil, interrupted by heather. But 1t comes from an old Saxon word "hlinc," which means ledge, an embankment, a boundary. Malvern Link and the Links of St. Andrews were there and somebody invented game to go with them.
