CITY LEAGUE STANDING. S. Played Won Ioct

The Conway High School basketball team was defeated Saturday night by the score of "A to 21. Although the game was devoid of spectacular plays, 1t proved to be an interesting affair, as the outcome was always in doubt The Pedagogues started the game with rush, making seven points be- fore the high school lads woke up. However, the youngsters finally got their bearings and played classy ball. Stubbs and Lindsey were the scoring machines for the teachers, each SCOT ing four baskets from the field and Stubbs caged six goals from fouls.
 Captain J. Legg and Clark of the high school showed varsity form and successively worked their way under the basket by clever passing and drib- bling that repeatedly baffied the op- posing guards. Moore and Noe guard ed their men well and showed remark able speed and cleverness in advanc- ing the ball toward their goal.
 Bailey at center exhibited flashes of form which proved he has great pos abilities. By losing the game the high school was forced to the cellar position in the leadgue standing. A large crowd saw the game.
 The next game in the City League will be played Tuesday between the Normal and Hendrix College.

Communities Should Pul! Together.
A single snowflake falling upon the
broad landscape ultimately melts and
leaves no visible trace Of its abortive
effort, but when joined to millions of
others the earth is soon covered with
white mantle. says the Farm Jour
nal. A single brook vending its way
through the valley is weak and impo-
tent. but joined with others it forms
q great stream whose dow speeds the
wheels Of industry. a single man in
community can do little by himself,
but by Joining men Of kindred aims
the union can do much for the moral,
mental and physical betterment Of the
community. Neighborhoods cease to
grow when the people cease to labor in
unieazsand work at cross purposes.
TheS is essential for the COM
manitys advancement that all pull to-
gether There should be no room In
any neighborhood for pullbacks.
