The High School basketball team
put in hard afternoon of practice
yesterday. The game with Monticello
is expected to be hard one and
Coach Osborne is getting his men in
the best possible condition. The Ag-
gies will average about pounds
more than the locals but that dis
advantage is expected to be offset
by that valuable asset called speed.
They have developed wonderfully in
speed since the last game and are
EXCEPTIONAL clever in shooting bask-
cts. The Farmers" are reputed to
have ore of the strongest teams in
the state and both games are expect
ed to be fast and close. While Coach
Osborne is optimistic as to the result
of the two games, yet he says he
expects the hardest game of the
season Thursday. Although the Ag
gies are trifle slower than the local
athletes they have some stars among
their number who are rated as the
best in the state. The night game
seen on the local floor as it will be
the deciding game, and from whistle
to whistle the play will be fast and
furious. The officials have not been
announced as yet but it is Mr..
Osbornes assurance that the game
will be as free as possible from fouls
in order that the spectators may
enjoy the play. The admission Tor
the afternoon game will be fifteen
and twenty-five cents. For night
game twenty-five cents.
Now that interest in basketball has
been revived at the High School 1t is
the duty of every student to keep the
interest at high pitch. To do this
every yone must attend the games, for
a large attendance is necessary to de-
fray the heavy expenses. Coach Os-
borne and Principal Allen are anXl-
ous to give the fans Of the city some
good exhibitions and intend to prlng
teams to the city as long as eX-
penses are made. The showing the
Hi boys make Thursday afternoon
and night will determine whether OF
not Pine Bluff will be represented at
the state tournament. This is Dis
thing for not ONLY the school but also
the city, as local team has never
been represented at the tournament
So it is the duty OF every loyal sup
porter to attend the games lhurs,
day and help the boys put it over
our country friends. A game Will
Hendrix College is under cohsloera-
ton. A further schedule has not p0eA
definitely announced.

HUSBAND. WIFE, CHILD;
SOME DIVORCE PHASES
From the Pictorial Review.

The following letter is one among the
prize letters of a contest announced
last October by Pictorial Review.
These letters form a convincing argu-
ment for a national divorce law, and
we print with a great deal of pleasure
one of the prize winners.
/ divorced my husband after five mis-
cradle. unhappy, degraded years. l did
this after long elaboration and 1 have
never been sorry. He was a drinking
man, but 1 did not know it. He cor
tinued his Incorporate habits after
marriage and they became int%olerable.
In those five years. we changed homes
eight times and he changed employ
mept over 20 times. 1 was starved at
times, and used to take my little chill
dren to bed to keep them and myself
warm in cold weather. No provision
when my children were born and three
came to me in those five years. Only
friends would come to my aid when
the crucial moment arrived.
My children suffered for the common
necessities of life. Yet, while we were
neglected. he spent in riotous and in
decent living money that should have
been used for his family. I had no
clothing fit to appear in either on the
street or in u alleged home.
Night after night as I sat Up with
my dying baby and listened to his
oAAAOSAAcIlIIS SOuSH, all alone, / reElSt-
cred a vow that I would never bear
another child to suffer and die for the
crimes OF his father and the weakness
of his mother. He became worse. Fol
months he was a living skeleton. At
that time. I did not think Of divorce.
I thought instead of death. 1 decided
to die and to take my children out
Of the world with me. I became NOR

ROMANTIC FRENCH
FOREIGN LEGION


From ''Figuig." by George Edward Wood
berry. in the Scribner.
The Foreign Legion Is commonly be-
lieved to be made up of broken men
who have in some way found Them
selves eliminated from society. thrown
out or left out OF gone out of their own
will, whether by misfortune, error. dis
appointment, or any of the various
changes of life, and who have joined
the Legion to lose themselves, or be-
cause they did not know else to
do with their lives. They come from
all European nations and are a cos
mopolitan body; and, no doubt, here
and there among them Is a brilliant
talent or a fine quality of daring gone
astray; but | imagine a very large pro-
portion Of them are simply friendless
men Who at some omen of
ment find themselves without
and without a career. and see in the
Legion a last 1 believe there
are great numbers of such friendless
men in our civilization. Among the
thousands of the Legion there must be.
OF course every color of the human
past; the losers in life fail for many
reasons, and in their defeat become, it
may be. incidentally or temporarily,
anti-social. or eve habitually so, as
fate hardens round hem with ears
but in a great number of cases, l be-
lieve, society has defaulted in It's moral
obligations to them before they default
ed in their moral obligations to their
neighbors; and, holding such views, 1t
was perhaps natural that. SO far from
finding he Legion a band of outcast
Adventures and derelicts, l found them
very human. 1 did not read
or virtue into them. 1 know the hard
conditions of their lives. If there be
an inch Of hero in a man.. he is hero
enough for me. The story of the French
occupation of Algeria is largely the
story of the Legion. For almost a CEN
fury it has been one of the most eff
fective units of the French army all
over the world; n here in Algeria 1t
has been not only a fighting force of
the first order, but also a pioneer force
of civilization. The DICTIONARIES have
built the roads. established the military
and civil stations. accomplished the
the first public works. drained and
planted; they have laid the material
foundations of the new order: they
have not only conquered, but civilized
in the material sense. and the labor in
that land and climate has been an
toll.

How French People
Cure Stomach Trouble

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting of pure vegeta-
BILE oil. and said to possess wonderful
merit in the treatment of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles, has been
introduced in this country by George
H. Mayr, who for twenty years has
been one of the leading down town
druggists of Chicago and who himself
was cured by it's use. So quick and
effective is its action that "a single
dose is usually enough to bring pro-
nounced relief in the most stubborn
cases, and many people who have
tried it declare they never heard of
to produce such remarkable
results in so short time. 1t is
known as Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
Remedy and can now be had at al
most any drug store. 1t is now sold
here by Bedells Pharmacy.

TOR Position Causes Gen.
eral Rejoicing There.

camden, June 29.-The citizens of
Camden and Ouschita county are re-
Jolclng over the appointment OF 'sher-
III J.. H. Parker as united States
marshal for the western district OF
Arkansas, and the honor this con-
TERED upon city and county, since
Mr.. Parker's career was begun as
pillow boy in the red hills west OF
eamden. He has frequently held
puDllc office. He was the only per-
son who was elected circuit clerk
without opposition, which position
nc held TWO terms. Later he was
elected sheriff OF this county, de-
Iea.lng seven we'll know democrats
and receiving more than one-thlrd OF
all the. votes cast in the elecuoa. He

opposition. In 1912 he was elected
State committeeman from the Sew
enth congressional district, during
his tenure of this position the fam
Gus Hays Brundldg4 and Clarke-Kir-
by contests were tried before the
state committee. He was also chair
man Of the last county convention
and h AIDED the delegation from
Ouachita county to the state conven-
ton at Pine Bluff, where he was one
OF the Clarke floor leaders.
In 1913 he was elected president
Of the State Sheriff's association.
This is the first time in the his
tory OF the state that a man from
South Arkansas has received this APP
pointment and those who know Mr..
Parker personally are confident he
will fill his new office with such a
degre of efficiency as will reflect
much credit upon the office, himself,
and those who were instrumental In
securing his selection.
To man of Mr.. Parker's char
acter AID ability the future offers
much and his friends predict that
he will continue OF succeed and that
the United States marshalship will
not be his final goal

"Dress Mania q Peril to Women.

"DreSS Mania" q Peril to Women.
1.-THE clothes worn by many respect
able women today are outrageously
immodest unsuitable, indecent, out
rageously unsuitable, outrageous in
every way" exclaimed Mrs. A. M.
Palmer. president OF the Rainy Daisy
Club" as it was known twenty years
ago. "A thin, undeveloped young girl
will appear on the street in a trans
parent frock and almost no under
clothing. looking like picked crow.
1t, is frequently impossible to distin-
guish between fast woman and a yir-
tuous woman, except that the latter
seems to Guido the former in the pro-
priety of her costume. The women
who adopt the disgraceful styles of
today do their best to make their en-
tire sex a laughing stock in the eyes
OF men. They are CLOTHES mad" in
their desire to follow the dictates OF
foreign dressmakers, and they put the
blame on the men dressmakers and
designers. It's perfect nonsense" de-
clared Mrs. Palmer, for the women
are the court of the last resort. To
them the dressmakers must look for
a living. Isn't it plain they'd have
to- submit to the women. it the latter
would only take a firm stand? Let
all respectable women agree to make
social ostracism the penalty for the
wearers of immodest dress. Let the
devotees of indecent fashions be cut
