through some fast signal practice,
special attention being given the new

The students have been showing
unusual interest in the coming game

is given over to the practice Of songs
with which the students will cheer
the locals on to victory. The Hot

HARD PRACTICE WORK
FOR LOCAL ELEVEN
Coach Basett Is Putting the High
School Lads Through Some
Tough Scrimmages.

Coach Bassett put his bunch of
buskies through the hardest practice
of the season yesterday. The first
and second teams lined up for scrim-
mage about $3.50. The scrubs were
given the ball but it was promptly
taken away from them by the first
team which rapidly began a march
down the field for touchdown
After repeating time after time the
ball was again given to the scrubs
but with as little luck as before, the
first team holding them for down
and again trampling over them for
a touchdown.
The first team was in unusually
god form yesterday tearing great
holes in the scrub line through
which the backfield plunged for
great gains. The new plays which
Coach Bassett devised were tried on
the scrubs with telling effect, the
scrubs being unable to fathom them.
They were literally swept off their
feet by the suddeaness of the first

ION currency BILL
COMMITTEE WILL INCLUDE 4
SINGLE RESERVE BANK IN
IT'S REPORT.
President WilsOnIssues TASTY CAN
TO Senators TO Confer
With Him.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The state
meat was made today by member
of Senate Banking and Currency
committee, in conference with anoth-
ten days the committee will report a
currency bill providing for single
reserve bank, and the fight on the
proposition will be forced out into
the open on the floor at once. Such
a step would be a direct blow at the
administration. President Wilson
has sent a request to number of
senators to confer with him at once
and the understanding is that this
greatest development is to be the
subject of the discussion.
The statement was also made to-
day by high authority that the
cabinet on Friday will discuss the
question of a Democratic caucus in
the Senate on the bill, in order to
solidify the support of the admins
trtaion measure.
The President is much disturbed
about the situation. Those close to
him say that he would feel it very
deeply if the committee should re-
port adversely on the administration
bill, and they expect that strenuous
methods will be adopted to force the
recalcitrant Democratic members of
the committee in line.
At this meeting today the commit
tee rendered itself Oh another vote
looking to the ultimate adoption of
the central bank plan. This action
was taken in the face of such de-
termined opposition on the part of
four administration senators on the
committee that the vote was consid
cred by many senators as a deliber-
ate rebuke to the president.
The senators who brought about
the adoption of four regional bank
plan declare that the president has
accepted currency bill upon the
judgement of members of the House
and now he declines to listen to the
views of senators who are as greatly
interested in obtaining proper legis-
lation as the president or the House.
They resent this attitude and the
vote of today was the second visable

Under conditions as they exist at
the present time, Pine Bluff would
be classified from to 4 IL for the
purpose of determining basis for
rates. The Acturial Bureau some
months ago however, had the matter
of rates taken up with the city and
at that time it was understood if the
ely would provide adequate fire equip
ment, it would place Pine Bluff on
something like 8 IL class basis.
This would be the same as Little Rock
and Fort Smith.
Messrs. Mccain, and Leake pre-
scented the proposition to the meeting
and said the Acturial Bureau had no
discretion in the matter. 1t is held
that fire fighting facilities and equip
ment alone are the means of determin-
ing the basis of rates. Physical con-
ditions also are included in this 1t is
held if Pine Bluff should refuse to
meet the demands, that there would
be no alternative other than to place
the city in the 4th class
Necessary improvements, if Pine
Bluff is to be placed in the same class
as Little Rock and Fort Smith, are the
purchasing of about 1000 feet of hose,
placing two additional men in the
Fire Department and to make some
minor Improvements 1t is estimated
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1913-11-06

that the improvements will cost the
city about $4,000. 1t is claimed that
these improvements however, would
save the property owners from $12,-
600 to $4,000 per year in insurance
premiums in comparison to the rates
which would be charged under the 4th
class.
At the close of the meeting it was
finally decided that F. NJ Rosenberg,
A. w. Mills and Pnchback Taylor
constitute a committee to solicit the
sale of city scrip to merchants for the
purpose of maintaining the Fire De-
partment. The otbi' city departments
will be cared Aor through scrip
handled by the Pine Bluff Clearing
House Association.

Final outcome of the conference be-

fire insurance companies, held in the
Chamber of Commerce, and which was
over fire insurance rates which are tc

have merchants purchase scrip for

$3.50 monthly for twelve months,
and for merchants to acquire the scrip

PREFER ROADS TO COURT HOUSES.

Montana farmers would rather nave
their county borrow money for gooo
roads than for new court house as
stated in the demands of a delegation
of 100 or more as reported in the

bonds for building roads. The farm :

Berlin, April 24.-Princess Augustine
Victoria OF Hohenzollern, who is en-
gagged to wed Elk King Manuel of Por-
tugal, is a question mark to Germany
Just now. Little known in Berlin be-
cause she has spent her entire life in
the south of Germany, society here
wonders whether 1t will have to call
her queen" or duchess" Some of
the German experts on court questions
declare that she will rank only as a
duchess. with the title of royal high
ness, while others assert that, as Man
uel has not recognized his deposition
from the trone of Portugal, his con-
sort will share this courtesy title. 1t is
understood that she will bring to Man
uel a plump dowry, as this branch Of
the Hohenzollern family is wealthy.

Compulsory Minimum Wage Law

Oresons minimum wage law, which
was recently signed by Governor West,
is the first one in America to have a
compulsory clause. Failure to pay the
rate Of wages fixed and In the method
provided by the law is punishable by
fine or imprisonment or both. In Mas
sachusetts, the first state to estab-
fish minimum wage boards, the only
penalty is the publication of the names
of offending employers in four news
papers in the county where their in
dustries are located.
The Oregon law applies only to
women and children. An industrial
welfare com mission is created to de-
termine minimum wages. maximum
hours and standard conditions Of la
Dor.
The commission is authorized 10

a woman,s SUCCESS on the L.nd.

Here is the story OF woman VINO

in six years from an investment Of
$4,000:
Early in 1905, Mrs. Ida E. Mathis
bought and took charge of 740 acres OF
red clay land in Calhoun county, Ala
bama The farm cost $3.50 an acre,
half cash and the balance on time at
per cent. The land, the houses, and
the fences had suffered from the "ab-
sentee landlord policy OF their former
owners. Mrs. Mathis spent $1,000 in
repairs She planted 10000 fruit trees
On part Of the cleared land, at a cost
Of $500: and rented the rest Of the till
able part of the farm for one-third or
onefourth OF the crops instead OF for
cash, as had been the former owners'
method. This percentage plan stimu-
lated the renters to such effort tina:
Mrs. Mathis share rose at once to ST.

owners had formerly got. For the first
two years the renters used the land

farmers in the Stickley section Of the
Lake Basin country. The erection Of
a county court house and all other
matters will be made secondary to the
road problem in the county until good
highways have been provided.
According to Mr.. Ryerson the coun-
ty commissioners have been requested,
and have shown a willingness to COM

Struction of good roads in preference
to other Improvements. If this is done
the money secured by the bond issue

tricts In the county according to their

The farmers of the county and the
business men generally have come to
