the man who realizes his individual
responsibility.

FOR FARMERS
FROM JOHN 0YLER
Only Those Are Successful
Who Take Advantage of
Their Opportunities.

The popular slogan just now is
let Arkansas Feed Herself" When
it comes to real boosting for this or
any other state it is the fertility Of
the soil and its maintenance that
needs the lift. With a productive
soil the country and towns will
both be rich To grow alfalfa and
clover, to grow more live stock, and
to take better care of the manure
these are the things that make for
a greater state,
Yes sir Arkansas can feed her
self, but 1t requires the three P's to
do it-push, patience and persever-
ance, backed up with an uncom-
promising ambition to do things, 1t
requires individual effort. Oppor-
tunites are all around us, and sue
cess often results from taking ad-
vantage of our opportunities,
Why Is 1t that on one farm the
average yield of corn, wheat, oats
and cotton Is so much greater per
acre than on the farm Just across

What a splendid thing It would
be If In every section of this land Of
ours we were producing all we
should. How farm values would 60
up, and that Is just what we want,
All that Is needed is that we should

recognize that success rests with
each one Of US Individually. This

Hickey Makes Use of "Cardiac" Test

St, Louis, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-Eranch
Hickey, the radical, has just made
known one Of the many innovations
he has applied to the management

test, meaning a test by which he

good nerve.
Having installed batting cakes,
sliding pits and what not in the
Browns' training camp, Hickey dis
covered that IL thing was missing.
A player might have all the natural
ability in the world, but be without
the nerve. He might be able to whale
the ball on the lose with no n OH
vase, but strike out dismally when
a base hit or wen a sacrifice fly was
needed.

Will Be Missed by Chicago
Fans This Season.

was sold yesterday by the White Sox
to the San Francisco club OF the
Pacific Coast League, from which
team he CAME in 1911, was about as
popular a fellow as Yer performed
at the White Sox grounds.
Popular With Fans.
1t is doubtful il in ten years any
bali player vcr made as great a
reputation and yet at the same time
played as bad ball as Bodie did white
with the White Sox. The fans for.
got all his deficiencies whenever he
connected squarely with one and
drove it into the bleachers or on:
against the distant walls. Clout:Eg
them into the bleachers was not an
uncommon feat Of Pings either, be-
cause he could wallop a ball as haro
as the next fellow.
A Poor Base Runner.
As a fielder Ping was of major
league calibre. He could 60 a long
distance in either direction after a
ny pail and he could wing it back
to the diamond with speed and ac-
curacy. his batting was StTOns
enough in each of his four years, with
to exception of 1914, when he wasn't
in the game regularly. Only one
thing prevented Pings serving the
usual time with the big fellows. That
was his base running.
With San ri 2cisco.
Outside of his slow base running
his faults we're such as were missed
by the masses of baseball fans, and
to them he was quite a hero. Even

So BADLY that he vas benched, there
was always a round of applause any
