LUMBERMEN BOOST
 ARKANSAS EXHIBIT
Adequate Display at San Francisco is Now Assured-Arkansas Lum- bermen, Banks and Corpora
 tions Respond Literally

It is being demonstrated that the patriotism of the people can rise su- perior to the technicalities of the courts.
 Arkansas is to have an adequate ex- hlblt at the San Francisco Exposition few weeks late, but one that will be credit to the state. The action of the Supreme Court has been over come by the patriotism of citizens who have come to the front with con- tributions, already received and cer- tain to be made, that will provide a fund of $20,0O0 to $3O,0OO for the purpose.
 The biggest boost was given by the lumbermen of the state, dozen or more of whom met yesterday at the Hotel Marion, Little Rock, and pledged S1O,O00 toward the fund. Ed. Bow CTS, of the Eagle Lumber Company, president of the inducements organi- zation, was one of the most enthusias- tic boosters of the meeting.
 In addition to this, letters have been sent to 404 banks asking contributions of from $10 to $50, and to $500 cor porations, asking for $5 to S10. Yes trday Bank Commissioner Davis re- ceived $509 in contributions from the banks. There is also yet due on ap- Ipropriations made by the various coun- ty levying courts about $6,S00, which l it is estimated, should yield about $4,- 900, after all discounts. The Com mission has $35,0O0 of the aluminium exposition medals, which are to be placed with the various women's clubs of the state, to be sold at $1 each, and it's believed that this will yield a very considerable fund within the next two weeks.
 State Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary is working among the lumber men of the State to help the fund, and is meeting with success.

That they were taking desperate chances is evident from what Mason said "Thirtle, Toshie and myself were by this time feeling rather weak and We sat down and turned on the oXy- gen.

So great was our hunger and thirst that we would 6ig into the coal dust and get crumbs and egg shells thrown away al some meal probably several days or weeks be- fore.

Mr.. Kirby said that the feeling was
against a man selling golf or tennis
goods unless he was a natural sales
man. Also that the practice of writing
for newspapers as specialists on thoir
particular, sports was frowned upon
especially cases in which a regular
newspaper man wrote the articles and
the noted athlete received pay for hav-
inC his name attached to the story. or
received moro money for the story than
the regular rates for such work.
The idea that n man is not necessarily
a professional In all sports because he
receives pay for one Is rather en-
couraged In the suggestions. In provSd-
ing penalties for coaching for money
and for reinstatement after the coach
ing period is over the suggestions are
lenient in the extreme. II the IDEAS
are adopted a man who has competed
for money in one sport may after

ing body of any other sport and may
obtain the ono for which he received
money.

who will be eagerly sought when peace
terms are signed, might have been with
the Pirates II Barney Dreyfuss had ex-
ercised some of the KEEN sound judg-
ment which has made him famous In
baseball. He offered $500 for Kauff
when Benny was with Hartford, but the
Connecticut club asked 5000.
This sum Barney refused to pay, and
when the drafting time came around
he did not even put in claim for him.
Indianapolis did, and got him for $3.50
the drafting price Then Benny made
his famous leap to the outlaws.
But Kauff was not the only star lost
TO the Pirates. 1rover Cleveland Alex
ander. the star of the Phillies, could
have been had for little money. Alex
ander was with indianapolis for a while,
and was recommended to Dreyfuss, but
to no avail, and went back to Syracuse
for more seasoning. With the Salt City
team, Alexander developed wonderfully.

Judge. Mr.. Acaster Is a practical as
we'll as a professional Judge. his sue
cess dating back to 1890.
The pigeons are being arranged in
groups. In all there are eleven classes.
and the fact that the selling class did
not receive a single entry is evidence
that the fanciers are In the hobby for
the sport there Is in it. and not as a
matter OF commercialism. Perhaps the
most interesting OF the classes are the
race winners and the long distance vet
Grams, no entrv for the latter class be-
ing eligible unless It had successfully
town from points not less than five
hundred miles distant to Washington on
no less than three occasions. Ten
pigeons will test tho Judge in this class
and will no doubt receive the Rdmira-

without doubt the most interesting ex-
matter the best that could be provided
