petion must simmer down to few
competitors. There are sixteen
names in the contest list, or rather.
that is the number last weeks list
included. We hardly expect six
teen candidates to compete for the
Ford until the close, therefore. we
are announcing an offer in this is
sue that will simmer the list down
to twelve actual candidates. You
should put forth your very best
efforts during this offer so yon will
be one of the twelve prize ballot
winners. The first ballot is good
for fifty thousand extra votes full
list of them is given in the adver-
tisement On another page.
Do you remember what you are
working for? Do you keep in mind
the fact that If you hustle right
along and get every possible vote
that you can own an automobile of
your own? The time is getting rath-
er short. In fact the closing date
will be announced in an early issue.
If you haven't been hustling your
best, do so from now on. That Ford
doesn't belong to anybody as yet
and it won't belong to anybody un-
til the last minute of he last day
of the contest Next weeks issue
will show twelve active candidates;
who can tell?-the following week
may show only ten. But remem-
, berl Some one of those on the list
is going to win that car-that is
certain. II there are twelve names
on the list. you have one chance in
a dozen. and the only requirement
is that you do your best to Increase
your standing.
Let's not spend any more time
talking it. Let's get busy right now
and make this big week.

A Pleasant Surprise.

This isthe last week of the present
school term of our public school
and the young people are looking
forward to the summer vacation
with great deal of pleasure, and
with tinee of sadness also, at the
thought of saying good bye to their
school friends and teachers, some
of which will not be back next year.
When the students in Miss Cor
nett's department found that she
could not be induced to return next
year. they planned a most delight
fui surprise for her and for their
classmate. Miss Lucia Proctor, who
leaves next week for her summer
home, on the Lakes.
On Friday afternoon the young
folks hired an excursion wagon and
drove to the Rock House" for a
picnic
They had a delightful time run
ming wild among the trees and
flowers. About $50 a picnic dinner
prepared by the young ladies was
spread and at the appointed time
DR.. holland and Miss COrnett drove
up. the surprise to Miss COrnett
was as complete as her happiness
when she found she was attending
picnic arranged by her pupils as
a token of their esteem and affec-
ton for her and their classmate,
Miss Proctor.
Those fortunate enough to be
present were: Misses Vivian Lee,
Vivian Proctor. MARY Lasley. Ruth
Kerns. Alberta Douglas. Lucia Proc
tor. Mary Kern. Mayme Weekly and
Robert Hawkins. Glenn Bristow.
Emmet Tuley. Jewell Drescher. AL
win Goens, DR.. holland. Miss COrnett.
Mrs. Alma Vaughn. w. B. Fahy.
1t was a delightful picnic party
and the good things prepared by the
young ladies proved that their do
mestic science had not been neg
lected. DR.. holland ate too much
and had to be hauled home in an
automobile but with the exception Of
this slight indiscretiOn on the part
Of the Doctor the picnic was a sue
cess and will be a pleasant memo
ry of the school year. -

VETERANS MEET IN
 m CAPITAL NEXT WEEK
C."n'mandtr 4. w.. Parke of $. of c. : a4 V Issues Call for Meeting of :.
 His Organization.

''1fiy years have wiped out many Of the old scars on wounds that brought bitter pain and anguish to the South.
 The copfedaAate veterans will meet in Little Rock October 26-23, and the convention ofstke Sons of Confederate Veterans will be held Oct. 26. In a general order issued by A. w. Parl1e, commander of Arkansas division, s. c. ", theefol1owing sentiment occurs
 "It is not the purpose Of the Sons of Confederate Vetsfans to-. awaken ;paptisan feeling, ar to 4prolong a strife which. is now. a a:melhory. The organization Was created to care for the veterans in their ,declining years, to see that history is, correctly writ ten, giving our fathers credit for be- ing home defenders, instead of trait Ors to a government. We do not ask history hiased4N " favor of the heroes who wore the gray, the valiant deeds of these heroes being sufficient to fill the pages of history with glory, if space IS only given them. We recognize in the soldiers of the North a worthy foe in the civil war and would not be a party to anything that would dim their gallant record.
 The sons in attendance at the con- vertion will be expected to render all possible service to the veterans, both of the Blue and the Gray, for III recent years there has developed 8 spirit of fraternatism between the former foes and many Union soldiers now attend the gatherings of the Con- fcderate veterans, and no doubt quite a few will be ill attendance at tbls convention
 There were 33 camps of the Sons in Arkansas the year of the Confed- crate reunion at Little Rock, 1911, but there are only nine now Re ncwcd interest is being taken in the organization and a campaign is to be inaugurated for the organization of 50 CT more camps, with a member snip of 10000.

CIRCUS MEN FIND
 s. ". ARKANSAS
 VERY PROSPEROUS
Robinson Shows Play to More Than 5000 Paid
 Admissions Here.

Admitting, as beyond argument. that on3 circus day most anybody and most everybody will find the price to. see one Of the performances, the fact remains:
 Pine Bluff is prosperous.
 Because why?
 The Yankee Robinson circus played to more than 5000 paid admissions in Pine Bluff yesterday. .
 There were more than 5000 paid admissions at. the matinee, and there were more than 1000 paid admissions at the night performance.
 The capacity of the big tent was too small to accommodate all who wanted to see the night show, ana many were turned away.
 So says Harvey Hale. press agent for tie show, and who has been With the Yankee Robinson since he leIt the Barnum-Bailey shows seven or eight years ago. Hale keeps record of the paid admissions al each per formance, and he quoted from ms little red-bound memorandum book.
 This Section Prosperous. That Southwest Arkansas in par ticular, and the entire state in gen. eral. is enjoying great prosperity was announced by Mrs Hale, who again had recourse to his little red book to prove his argument.
 'I.et the cotton farmer get $40, s42 or s45 for his cotton seed, and let him get ii and F cents or more for his cotton lint, and the entire South is certain to be prosperous ne said. we have, been. ipi the cotton cdtlntry something sfikes%%tWo weeks now. and we know conditions. We know the people have the. money to 3spend, because :. they are spending some of it with US.
 Oar business has: been so good the past two weeks that MT. Buchanan, the proprietor of the shows, has de cided to extend the season to .Aovein- her .26, instead ;:of closing November ,. as. had been planned.at first. That's what you might callf an infallible sign, ssNh3ll a circus season Is .s ex- tended" :.
 Thanks to the people Of Pine Bluff for the treatment accorded the sno" here yesterday were extended by Fred Buchanan, proprietor and genef- al manager; his brother, c. w. Blu charan, assistant general manager George ?. Meishan. general agent; Harvey Haie,i press agent, all ol whom stated they had always heard 0f pins Bluffs leputat!on as socd show town, and hoped the show could arlaage to conle stsain in siu- tue years.
