Rev. w. c. Wood, pastor of the
First Baptist church, delivered the
invocation,
J. c. Clary, state labor commits
sioner, was the first speaker on
the program. Mr.. Clary briefly re-
viewed the condition of the laboring
forces in Arkansas prior to the en-
actment of the labor laws. He told
of the necessity for legislation to
protect the wage earners, and
pointed out some OF the defects in
the statutes now in force. Mr.
Clary dealt at length with the Ia
Dor laws enacted by the people at
the general assembly of 1915, and
explained how his department was
endeavoring to enforce these laws.
In the afternoon H S. Mobley,
president of the State Farmers I'm
ion, delivered a stirring address on
topics concerning the farmers. The
speaker laid particular stress upon
the necessity for educating the
boys and girls who are raised on the
farms and for equipping them to
compete with the educated boys and
girls in the towns and cities. He
wanted larger appropriations for
the common school system and for
the agricultural schools. Criticism
of Gov. Hays for pruning down the
appropriations made by the last
| Legislature for the support of the
four agricultural schools was in
dulged in by the speaker. He said
the state university, through the
efforts of President John G. Futrall,
suffered least in the surgical oper-
alton performed on the appropr1a-
ton bills by the governor, while
the agricultural schools suffered
the most. He was in favor of put
ting the support of the agricultural
schools upon a miilage basis and
thus take the appropriations out
of the hands Of the governor. In
cidentally the speaker took
whack at DR.. Chas. H. Brough, cam
didate for governor, charging that
Brough had swiped some of John
J. Ingalls, effervescent dream
speeches and was palming them off
on the people of Arkansas and
| feeding the voters sweetened wind
in an effort to enlist their support.
He said Brough was partial to the
university and intimated if he
should be elected he would favor
that institution over the agricultur
al schools. Mr.. Mobley also scored
II c. McRae, another candidate for
governor, because McRae was OPP
;posed to a law to guarantee bank
deposits He advised the people to
vote against Brough and McRae, but
beyond this Mr.. Mobley did not
commit himself on the gubernator-
ial situation.
| At the conclusion of the address
| by Mr.. Mobley the athletic features
of the program were pulled off,
and at O'Clock e balloon ascension
with a triple parachute leap fur
nished a real thu iller for the i'm
mense crowds.
Chief of Police Houston reports
there were no disturbances during
the day and that he and his force
of deputies had no trouble keeping
almost perfect order.

Labor Day the local lumber COM
panies contributed the material
used in erecting the grand stand

FANS DESIRg SNAPPER PLAY
Athletics Games Consumed More
Time Than Any Other Club
Keeps Attendance Down

Athletic fans are wondering wheth-
er with the chasing away of all Of
Connie Mack's old pitchers. and many
of the other veterans and the filing
of their places with young players,
they Will be able to get home in time
for dinner occasionally during the
coming season. If the same old or
der of things continues at Shibe park
it is a sure thing that the Athletics
attendance will suffer again this year.
Last season strangely enough the
Athletics games consumed more time
than those in any other city OF the
country. The fans complained, the
newspapers knocked and criticized,
Ban johnson came on and investi-
gated, the games were started
earlier, but the slowness continued.
The Athletic club officials tried every
means in their power. They ordered
the players to hustle, the pitchers to
work faster and even asked the UNI
pires to go the limit in speeding up
the games, but without avail
Some blamed the two veteran
pitchers, Plank and Bender. They
were watched and timed While
Plank, especially, and Bender some
times, did work more slowly accord
ing to the timing, and took more
pains with their pitching, there was
nothing to indicate that this was the
main defect, The Athletic club
knows that it hurt the attendance,
but are anxious to see whether the
new lot of young players and espe-
cially pitchers can remedy the tron-
BILE.
The daily starting time last sea-
son was moved back to $3.50 in the
long days of summer, but games Of
nine innings dragged to $50 and
later. On one occasion the first game
OF a double-header started at 1870
on Saturday and lasting only II In
nings went on until five minutes
past FIVE.

Then it dawned upon me that Sheck

to bat. Leach caught one right on the
nose and sent it over Steinfeldt's head

sprinted for second and looked to see
how far the ball had gone just in time
to see Sheckard tossing it back. The
drive had gone straight into Sheck's
hands,
Tommy was the maddest man you
ever saw. Shocks superstition had
robbed him of sure three-base hit
and, as it turned out, saved Chicago
the game.

The thing that sticks in my mind as
perhaps the funniest l ever saw on
ball field happened when l was with
the Cubs and Jimmy Sheckard was
playing out there in the pasture beside
me.
Sheck was, perhaps, the best man at
playing for batters the game ever has
known. Much of his great success was
due to the fact he played right where
batters hit the ball But this time
things had been breaking badly for
him.
One day we were playing Pittsburgh.
At the end of one inning glanced
over into left field. There was Sheck-
ard with his eyes shut, whirling
around and around, and finally he let
his glove fly. l wondered what was
coming off, until saw Sheck walk to

southpaws Are Lacking.

THE lack of left-handed pitchers
was one of the main reasons for the
heavy hitting in the Federal league
last season." said Dick Carroll, bust
ness manager Of the Brooklyn FEEDER
ais The league was top-heavy with
left-handed hitters and very shy on
left-handed pitchers.
Conditions will be a bit different
this year, however. There are more
southpaw pitchers on the Federal ros-
tiers this year and l look for a slump in

there he regained his arm and was re-

In 1912 Pratt at once cinched the
second base place on the Browns, and
his work with this demoralized team
stood out brilliantly
He has improved each season and
is now one of the most dangerous long

CIVILTZATION!-According to the
dictionary civilization is defined from
a state of savagery to civilized. And
civilized is described as being affable,
gentle, refined and cultured. Yet 1
have never heard of a savage COM
hitting suicide through unemploy-
ment or being unable to obtain
enough food to sustain life.
Their motto seems to be, one for
all and all for one, which is more
than we can say for civilization. Al
though it affords US greater oppor-
tunities for mental development it
teaches US how to take advantage |
of our fellow beings.
This by enacting laws unfavorable
to the poor and enriching the veal |
thy, who are becoming more grasp
ing every day, as is plainly shown,
and by their refusal to comply with |
the Just demands of the street car |
men, who were forced to go on strike |
for a mere pittance. Also, what is |
civilization doing to prevent the cpl |
demic of suicides taking place almost |
every day. We read of some unfor- |
tunate dying by self-destruction on |
account of no work.
The large amount of suicides on |
account of unemployment and their
failure to appeal to charitable insti-
tutions shows plainly that they fear
death less than the notoriety which
they know will accompany their re-

they would rather have their uames

list. Often the papers will state in
cases of self-destruction, "cause I'M

WHY SILVER TARNISHEs AND
HNI n MEG MOT DIoosa ALL 80


GOLD DOES NOT. - Please tell me
why it is that silver always furnishes
and gold does not-Curious.
There is always a good deal of sui
pur in the air, especially when we
burn gas. Sulphur acts upon GER
tain things that are exposed to the
air, and, while several sulphur COM
pounds act upon silver, they never
have. any such action upon gold,
hence gold does not tarnish and sill
yer does.
If a person wearing silver neck
lace next the skin is taking sulphur as
a medicine, he or she may notice that
the necklace turns black. This s-be-
cause some of the sulphur leaves the
body through the skin and so tar
nishes the silver necklace by forming
a film of sulphide of silver on it.
It is, therefore, the action of sui
phur upon silver that furnishes the
latter; while, at the same time, this
same sulphur has no effect upon gold.
