Reversing Heroes.


Oscar w. Underwood is the hero
of 1914, while Captain Richmond P.
Hobson must be content for his laur-
els in the recollection of the victory
of the Merrimac, and the osculatory
tour of the country just after the
Spanish-American war. There is not
Representatives who has as many
warm personal friends as Mr.. I'm
derwood. His score for affability,
courtesy, and poise, is around one
hundred per cent. His leadership
of the majority party in Congress
has made him famous throughout
the country, but it is his splendid
personality that counts in Washing
ton where he moves daily among his
the Senate with greater prestige, and
it is predicted that he will quickly
take a position of leadership in that
distinguished position. incidentally
it might be said that the Alabaman

that section of the country, which
has not had more than a perspective
view of the White House since the
civil war, has become real certain as
the result of the Underwood victory
that he is a man of destiny, and will
eventually become President of the
United States.
Keeping up With the President.
Tariff legislation and currency re-
form found their way along the Con-
gressional track, and chalked UP
punctually on time. There has been
unusual speed thus far in the pro-
posed repeal of Panama tolls The
House of Representative made its
usual record in disposing of the Ad-
ministration measure p. d. q. The
Senate has refused to yield it's prer-
ogative of extended committee hear
ings, and sessions will last for at
to the public. 1t is expected that the
big lights of diplomacy, including pos
sibly eX-president Taft, will shed
their rays to help. enlighten the SEN
ators. However, the most signifi-
cant feature of the situation is the
poll of the Senate by a Washington
newspaper, resulting in the disclo-
sure that more than a majority OF
that body has openly declared itself
in favor of the position taken by
the President. Therefore, should the
opposition convert the dozen or more
members in the doubtful class, the
President can still win his big fight
with about half dozen votes tC

comiskey on Trip = May be After
Fritz MaiseI of Yankees

President Comiskey of the White
Sox is going to excite suspicion every
time he. goes out of town now. His
mysterious trips will always be asso-
ciated with an effort to sign another /,
star for the South, Side club.
Comiskey left for French Lick
Springs last night in company with
Ban Johnson, who is to meet Col.
Rupert, prospective purchaser Of
the Yanks. Johnson, will also confer
with Barney Dreyfus regarding the.
schedule for organized baseball dur
ing the season of 1915.
1t was given out that Corniskey
was merely going along for company.
That is the same thing he said when
he went to Philadelphia and bought
Eddie Collins from Connie Mack.
In baseball circles the report per-
sisted that Com1ny would endeavor
to land at least one man from the
Tanks in case Rupert purchased the
club He wants to be on the ground
early and put in his bids.
There is still one large hole on the
Sox infield = third base. In every
other station the inner defense is
adequately cared for. Commy has
determined to get winner at last
and will let mo ordinary obstacle
stand in the way.
1t is no secret that he would be
willing to give nice bunch of money
or several players of recognized abil-
ity for Fritz Maisel, the little third
sacker of the Yanks. There are sew
eral pitchers on the Sox staff who
would strengthen most of the teams
in the league, but they are of no use
to the South Side crew, where ster-
ling pitchers just naturally grow.
Maisel would be an ideal running
mate for Collins, Weaver and who
ever plays first base for the Sox next
season. He has the speed to go with
the assemblage, and his baserunning

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING
CIabby and Gibbons Fail to Meet
No Racing Here

There will be no match for the
middleweight championship between
Jimmy Clabby and Mike Gibbons, for
the present at least:
Tom Andrews, Milwaukee promo
ter, was in Chicago to get the bat
tiers together, but failed in the effort.
He talked to Clabby and his manager
and Jim was willing to go right
through with negotiations,
But there was a hitch on the Glib
bons end. Mike was passing through
Chicago and declined to enter the
conference. He said he was not will
ing to put on the mitts with Clabby
at this time. Gibbons is getting plen-
ty of softer matches without jeopar-
dizing his reputation, and likes the
jingle of the coin.
Now it turns out that the Sports
mems Club of America isn't behind
the movement to revive racing in
Chicago. President Pugh of the new
organization says his club VIII not
promote any sport which is contrary
to the law. -....
Mayor Harrison gave it out cold
that he would oppose racing, even
with track betting eliminated. He
declared such a race meeting would
result in the opening of numerous
poolrooms in Chicago and for that /
reason would be menace.

Purpose of Company to Consolidate
Several Light Plants and Serve
Towns from Power House

Department of the State Bank Com
mission has licensed The Seven Cities
Company of Russelville, which has
been financed by Henri Choteau & Co.,
of st. Louis. The capital will consist
of $250,000 stock 3 per cent basis,

MEANS OF SAVING FRUIT
Cold Snap Over Arkansas Will Check
Swelling Buds.

Fort Smith, Jan. 29.-After an un-
usually long period of warm weather,
western Arkansas was treated to rain
snow and sleet today. Had the warm
weather continued for brief time, the
first succeeding cold snap would have
ruined the entire crop as the buds
were fast swelling. Their develop
ment will be checked by the present
cold wave, some believe, sufficiently
to make them immune against further
cold. Reports from the fruit belt in
Washington, Benton, Crawford, Polk
Sewer, Boone, Carroll, Logan and
Johnson counties, the principle peach
and berry centers, Indicate that the
cold wave is general. In Fort Smith
the temperature dropped AZ degrees
from midnight last night to 10 o'clock
tonight, when it registered % degrees
above, the coldest of the year A Is
degree drop in five minutes was re-
corded at l o'clock this morning.

ECHOES FROM THE OZARKS"

Echoes from the Ozarks" is the
title of an attractive volume of poems
issued by Mrs. Josephine B. Crump,
wife of Col. George j. Crump, of Mus
kogee, Okla, formerly of Harrison,
Ark. The poems are those that have
been written during long life spent
in the hills of North Arkansas. Some
of them are based upon incidents at
Fort Smith, where Col. Crump was
United States Marshal during the
Cleveland administration. The poems
are grave and gay, and cover wide
range of topics, but all breathe the
true spirit of poesy. Some of the most
beautiful of the verses are dedicated
to the heroes and heroines, and his
toric incidents of the lost cause.

Growers Association, which will be
held in Little Rock Feb. 1919. Each
county judge in the state has been re-
quested to appoint twenty delegates

will be held in Little Rock blooded
stock show and sale, and night
school Of stock breeding, at which
lectures will be given by some of the
best experts in the country. The Col
lege Of Agriculture and the U. S. De-
pa ,ment Of Agriculture will cooper
ate with Commissioner Page, under
whose auspices the show and school
are given. 1t is expected there will
be over 500 stock raisers here from
