Few YORK. Dec At is with
feeling of the greatest reluct-
4 ance that we produce our stand
ing Of the unnumbered today, holding
that the Army and the Navy are en-
titled to mighty little credit for their
sweeping victory over the Argus-eyed
press last Saturday because Of the un-
derhanded methods employed IN the
first period.
Yale has tried to hide the gridiron
from the newspapers, and Harvard
has endeavored to dash their spirits
with stern disapprOval, but never did
Yale or Harvard resort to the skull
duggery Of refusing them a gent IN
the press stand to give out megaphonlc
misinformation about the identity OF
the footballers, so that the fourth es-
tate might copper all he says and thus
keep almost in touch with what IS
Transporting around and about.
The Army did this Saturday. That is
to say, the Army refused man 1or
press duty. It was low, and mean,
and wholly unworthy of the Army usu-
ally among the most obliging accesso-
ries to the game Of football
The service assailants were unnum-
bered, of course, and they were also
craftily made up to look just exactly
alike. but, even so, the lads scruncheo
and ready to 60 along right with them'
putting up the usual game battle, when
the foul blow fell. Not until the sec
ond period were conditions anywhere
near equal In a fit of remorse, the
Army then assigned a representative
to the stand and thereafter the press
gave the footballers just as good as
they sent, but they were never able TO
quite make up the handicap.
That Mysterious Runner.
Under the unnumbered circumstances
we feel that the returns on the --
well, on the very first play of any
Importance made by the Army, for in
stance. do not represent a fair test OF
strength between the footballers and
the press. It was the Army's ball on
the Army's own 20 yard line, or there

JUDGE ASHER MAY REACH
DECISION BY WEDNESDAY
Adjourned Court Yesterday After
noon and is Going Over Argu-
ments. Both Sides are
Confident of Winning.

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-Judge Joe
Asher Monday afternoon heard the ar
guments in the Argenta liquor peti-
ton and adjourned court, saying he
would go over all figures submitted
to him, and render his decision as
soon as he could investigate several
matters which had been brought to
his notice.
The day was largely taken up with
testimony, the liquor people introduc-
ing many witnesses to refute the
claim of the prohibitionists that no
such persons existed. This afternoon
was taken with the arguments of
Judge Fred Isgrig for the anti's, and
Col. Joseph X. House for the liquor
men. Judge Isgrig ridiculed the tes-
timony offered by the petitioners, and
the character of the witnesses. Col
House rebuked the opposing counsel
for making assertions which could not
be proven.
1t is expected that a decision will be
| rendered Wednesday, and it would be
great surprise if it should be against
the petitioners.
With the Argenta case out of the
way, the County Court will begin
Monday to hear motions, evidence and
arguments in the Little Rock petition.

JERNIGAN COMPLETES
ANNUAL REPORT
Assistant for Arkansas in Charge of
Demonstration Work on Corn,
Cotton and Canning Clubs
Makes Annual Report.

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-W. j. Jerni-
gan, assistant for Arkansas, in charge
OF Demonstration work, has completed
his annual report on corn. cotton and
canning clubs. 1t shows there were
1889 members in the Corn Club and
an average of As bushels of corn was
raised to the acre, at an average cost
of 361a cents per bushel, more than
double the yield under old methods.
There were Is boys and one girl grow
ing over 100 bushels to the acre, the
lot averaging 107 bushels to the acre,
and each bushel cost the grower 16
cents.
Those raising over 100 bushels to
the acre were:
Louis Epstein, Luna Landing, 100
bu, cost 13 cents per bu.; Floyd Peters
Okolona, 100 bu., cost AZ cents; Ed
win Moore, Hot Springs, 1925 bu,
cost 161a cents; Jean Gardner, Para
gould, 1925 bu., cost 20 cents Harold
Rogers, Paragould, 102 bu., 27% cents
Clyde Halbrook, Franklin, 106 bu.,
1S cents; Clyde Phillips, Wlman,
1925 bu., 1914 cents; Allen M. Bush,
Melbourne, 112 bu., 1872 cents; Char
lie Benson, Shannon 100 bu, 16 cents
Russell Benson, Shannon, 10S bu., Is
cents; Willie Deaver, Brockett, 1O6
bu., 10 cents; Fred Going, Pocahontas
100 bu., 8 cents; Delphine Moore,
Wyman, 101 bu., II cents; Eldon
Moore, Wyman, 101 bu., II cents;
Donald Jones, Greenland, 102 bu., IA Y
cents; Joe Read, Johnson, 104.75 bu.,
"a cents; Grover Chocate, Ell Paso,
1866, bu., 23 cents; w. d. Sego,
Griffithville, 10 bu., 16 cents.
There were 800 members of the Cot
ton Club, fifty counties of the state
participating. The average yield per
acre was 1881, and the net profit,
$25.1O.
Only Is counties of the state main
tanned Canning clubs, but in these
there were enrolled about 800 mem
bers. These girls grew over $4,000
pounds of tomatoes, besides other veg
etables. The produce sold from these
4 acre gardens amounted to $4,000
with an average cost per plot $10.24,
and an average profit of $35.07. Miss
Fay Parker of Geehe, with a profit of
$152.S3, is the champion of the United
States for the year. In two years the
appropriations for this class of work
has reached $4,000 per year, and many
counties are joining.
In summing up his work, Mr.. Jer-
nigan shows the state lost $43,312 800
or the year because the farmers did
not do as well on every acre of corn
raised, as did the boys. He figures
2,475,000 acres of corn growing 20
bushels per acre where it should
yield 45 and sell for 70 cents per
bushel. He also figures that the cot
ton growers lost $40,000,000 because
they failed by 500 pounds to the acre
to reach the average of the members
of the Cotton clubs. He figures 400,-
600 acres in cotton, with an average
of $40 pounds to the acre, here the
boys raised an average of 1881 bush
els per acre.
Mr.. Jernigan, in his report, calls at
tention to the addition of poultry and
Pig Clubs for the coming year, and in
Inmates that the two new features will
furnish a very profitable source for
