From The Limited Train
 Window

A fellow sees lots of sights as he gets about over the country whether he Is in a Ford or aboard a limited train. Last Tuesday, 1 was going out of Brinkley towards Little Rock aboard the Rock Island Limited and sitting on the south side of the window the train passengers might have seen with me a
 'stalled"' two horse team at- tached to a wagon on which was loaded two bales of cotton. The farmer was trying to make it in to Brinkley over the Military Road and in vain he was beat ing and urging his team to pull out" (This is the same strip of road that Judge, Trice made look so smooth and pretty just a few months ago with that new trac- tion engine and grader.)
 Just a little further on, only about 40 miles from the same window I saw another farmer hauling cotton he was a Lonoke County farmer and he too was driving a two horse wagon but instead of having only two bales as a load and being "stalled'' with that, this Lonoke County cotton farmer had six bales on his wagon and was actually driving ina trot and looked as Tiff he hadn't a care on earth. This was a REAL pike road that he was driving on, and was as smooth as a plank walk. Lonoke County people have been en- gagged for the past year in build ing these real roads. They are spending more than $500, 900. OC tto get these roads but when they get thro' they will have something.
 | There's a difference, a big difference in two living pictures i from the car window and the hundreds of people who are daily travelling over this road can t help but see the difference even if the poor Monroe County farmer who is ''stuck in the tmud" can't see it.

Out on the North Side there was
another disaster, Tinker's gang drop
ping the final game of the series to
Baltimore. Young Jimmy Farrell
lives out that way but even his
friends looked on him coldly last
night. For Johnny undid all the good
pitching that Tom Mcclure chucked
into the fray.
Farrell combined his bad work in
the second inning, making an error
of execution and one Of thought.
Each cost a run. Baltimore got a
man on first with one out. Walsh
bumped to Kavanaugh, who tossed to
Farrell for quick play. Johnny ap-
parently forgot how many men were
out, for he held the ball with an easy
double play in sight By the time the
yells of his teammates had aroused
him it was too late to get Walsh at
first. Walsh then stole and DOOIan
walked. Wilhelm singled, riding
Walsh home and sending Doolan to
third. They tried a double steal, and
Mike tailed when Farrell made wild
return of Blocks throw.
In spite of the defeat, the local
Feds were not disgraced by any
means. They exhibited lot of pep
per and fight, and that without their
manager in the game, with substi-
tute on third and a second string
man behind the bat.
In the ninth pinch hitters were
rushed in. A Walsh famed, but Viii
son was walked. Then Flaek boosted
the pill into the right field bleachers
for homer. The rally fell one run
shy, but was a thriller while it lasted.
