Washington. probably none boasts OF
the high caliber Of rolling as does the
Southern Railway Clerks League.
" hich Is made up entirely of employees
OF the great railroad system. Besides
promoting the sport which has come
to be recognized as the national wn-
ter pastime. here Is a body which takes
no little pride in the fellowship and
friendliness which It encourages. and

spons'b bic for the success which the cir
cult is now enjoying.
More than six years ago the first
bowling teams Of the Southern railroad
offices Joined efforts and formed the
league. which has survived with in
creased success from year to year un-
til now their league ranks among the
most successful In the local field. Be-
sides the six teams which now make
up Its ranks, the Southern has a team
In the Commercial League. which IL
making fight for the pennant and
which promises to give the front rank
clubs a stin struggle to keep it out Of
first place.
The departments Of the Southern Rail
way REPRESENTED in it's bowling are:
iesi. Tie and Timber. and Treasurers.
At the present time Bookkeepers and
Treasurers are tied for the leadersh D.
while Tie and Timber turks but two
games in the rear. Law and Mechani-
cal are locked for exclusive right to
fourth place. and these ties have had
tendency to keep interest at white
heat throughout the season.
David b. Fegan. who has had wide
experience In the handling Of matters
pertaining to bowling. is president OF
Parker. who is secretary and off1cia
scorer and W. F. Barse. treasurer. A

JUST ROOKIE

Jack Dunn, manager of the Rich
mond team, was trying out a bunch
of rockies in the ball park last spring,
when a newcomer blew in who said
he was an outfelder. He was a tall
and robust youth, very green, but
with plenty Of confidence in himself,
and he praised his own ability so
highly that finally Dunn who needed
"a good outfelder, said:
i "An right, sonny. Trot out in the
left field and I'll bat you out some
fungoes." =
Instead of taking his position, the
recruit stood still and gazed about
him in a puzzled sort of way. Then,
scratching his head, he asked con-
fidentially: ~

CARD OF THANKS,

1 take this method of publicly commenting the business men and women of Green Forest for your recent action which showed that you are in favor of justice still retaining d place in the dealings of man with man.
 Those concerned know to what l refer.
 Inasmuch as you did what you did without any solicitation on my part, and in fact most of you took action before 1 knew any thing about it. take it not so much a personal favor to me, as an expression of your belief in business honesty and fair play.
 1 sincerely hope that not a single one of you may ever have any cause to regret the action taken by you, and that l may be able, in some way to in some measure make returns, not in special previleges or favors for in railroad business these are not permissible, but assure you that what you have done thus far will act as a lively stimulus to an honest effort to improve the service where possible to your benefit where same can be done consistent with company rules and regulation.
 Very cordially yours,

Hotel Keepers
 Must Pay Wages
STATE ANTI-TfPPlNG LAW TO BE ENFORCED BYTRAVELERS
 ASSOCIATION

Two years after the anti-tip- ping bill became a law a real crusade to have it enforced will be inaugerated. The Ar rkansas travellers are organizing such a campaign, and they expect to have 1t terminate successfully through the determination to have every hotel or restaurant proprietor of the state arrested, who permit the violation of the State law. President w. c. Nor man has now committees work ing gathering inf form a ti o n against hotel keepers who permit their employed to accept tips, and a general warning will be first sent them, telling of the evidence that has been secured, and threatening prosecution if the offense is repeated. Presi- dent Norman states that the Travellers have been liberal tip pers themselves in the past, but the custom has become so abused that the man who cannot afford to come across" can get no ser vice, and for their protection the Travellers are going to the limit to put an end to the evil.
 The Travellers will also join with the trainmen of Arkansas in the effort to have passed a bill which will permit a travelling man or a trainman, to vote in other precincts than that in which they reside. The bill which will permit this will pro vide for certificates to be issued to travellers in order that they may vote without having to run in home on election day. The certificate will be so arranged that the travelling men cannot vote at home and then go to some other point and assist in swell ing the vote for the candidates whom they favor. This will be prevented by a stamp on the certificate, showing that it has been voted, otherwise a travel ing man could get into an auto- mobile and visit a dozen or so voting places during the day.

Preserving Pencil Writing.

If you have a penciled letter which you want to keep long while, lay it in a shallow dish and cover 1t with skinned milk. When the paper is thoroughly soaked through let the milk drain off, and dry the paper very gradually This makes the writing fast, so that 1t cannot be easily rubbed out.

Strawberry Growing
 Brings Ready Cash
BENEFITS ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND FURNISHES WORK
 FOR EVERYBODY


 There are many crops that the successful growing and market ing of in any community will put money in circulation among others than the growers, but there is no crop that puts as much money in circulation among all classes and creates as much stimulus in town or community as strawberry growing. There is always a noticeable air of hustle, progressiveness and prosperity about strawberry growing center. It is good for everyone and all feel the effects of the marketing of the crop.
 It is not only the grower who has his net return to spend or deposit in the bank, there are those employed in making the crates and boxes, the employees of the ice factory and the great army of pickers and packers and others employed in caring for the crop and all these put their money in circulation so that it stimulates any kind of business in a town. The merchants of all kinds, the banker and even the peanut peddler feel the effects of it. The amount paid for pick ing alone is an enormous thing. In many of the large strawberry growing centers it is often that $5, 000.0 % or more per day is paid just for picking the berries and the people who pick the berries ssspensf g it among. .thg business r den ltheif town for the neces- sites and luxuries of life.
 It does dot take skilled work men to pick the berries, but every one can help who is old enough to realize the importance of doing his work right, thus men, women, and children share alike in the opportunity of earning their part of the harvest.
 The stimulus created by the straw berry season is felt through out the entire year until the next crop is ready for market. If l were to enumerate all classes who directly or indirectly are benefited by the strawberry crop 1t would include every business in the town, therefore it is an industry that all business men should encourage.
 If not already a strawberry growing center, then encourage the launching of the industry. No matter whether you are a business man or a farmer, it will help you and the community. Talk it up to every one, get the leaders together and organize a strawberry growers, association. Get the growers to agree to plant as many acres each as their ability to care for and the size of their farms will permit.
 Insist on their using the best plants to insure the greatest success. Get in touch with fer tilizing companies, arrange for supply of packages for berries; l look up markets and buyers and let it be known to them you pro- pose to produce and market the best berries. Let every business man and every farmer get to- gether and work to push the in dustry and make it grand sue cess; united and concentrated energy will accomplish this, then your business will grow and your farms will increase in value and yourselves and town will be ,,rocooro,1c N W VNb o,o,oc

Polka OriqinalIy Bohemian.

The polka came originally from Bo- hemia, where it has been danced by the peasants from time immemorial. It's introduction into fashionable so- ciety was due to Josef Neruda, who saw girl dancing it one Sunday afternoon in the market place of Flbe- leinitz, and noted down the melody and steps.
