 most of it manufactured from flour sacks. corn sacks, cotton baggtng, and old. discarded clothing This dis play is really remarkable. in that it shows what can be done with the cheapest, most common of material, staff that in 99 homes out of 100 is thrown away as waste.

THREE B|G EVENTS BILLED FOR NEXT
 FRIDAY EVENING
Carnival, Candidates and School Society to Compete
 for Public Favor.

Friday night, November ,. promises to be really big" night in Pine
 Bluff, with lots of amusemcnts and entertainments, and if any man. wo-
 man or crild fails to be pleased and ! amused. he or shell will have no one but himself or herself to blame. Three affairs of moro than ordinary importance are scheduled to be pull cd of next Friday night, these being as follows:
 Political meeting on the courthouse stops. with speeches by the candi- dates.
 Opening of the "home talent car nival, under the auspices of the East Pine Bluff Civic league, on the grounds back of the First Ward school
 Presentation of the Indian play, "Thc Arrowmakcr," by the Pi Psi so- ciety, at the High school auditorium. It's strong lineup. any way it is taken. and the public" can take it's choice
 Press Agent "lIollcrs.'
 Already, however, q 'hO!ler' is be- ing put up by the press agent for the, carnival, who asserts that inas- much as the East Pine Bluff Civic announced November , as the date for the opening of the .shome talent carnival, the other attractions are "intrudng."
 Mr. Press Agent made a strong, vc- hement kick yesterday, and formal ly registered his complaint with the candidates who are believed to be in charge of tho speaking" scheduled to be held on the courthouse steps.
 Mir. Press Agent believes there is q good chance for a change in the date for tho political mectings al though he admits no promise was made him.
 School Play On Now. The school play, which, was an- nounced last night to be given next Friday evening, was originally to be given Friday of last week. but was (eheld oyen, a week because of the boot ball game at Little Rock and the
 large numbers of the school boys and girls who went te- Brittle Rock and remained over for the circus. .r Regret was expressed by some of the members of tho Pi Psi society last night over the conflict in dates, but as individuals these could do nothing. The society may be able to take action Monday or Tuesday, but it is feared that further delay in the
 presentation of the play will cause |uho members of the east to become b" "stalc' in their parts. Maybe some changes may be made in the program as announced herein before. but unless there is an amend mcnt of some kind. next Friday night | ought to be a sure-cnouSh big night in Pine Bluff.
