American and eastern clubs Of the
National have had things all their
own way.

al to date, the Atlantic seaboard
clubs have gathered four into the
right side Of the percentage column.
In the other outfit the westerners
have grabbed six Of the eight al
ready played.
This is trifle unusual as the win
ming sections are the invaders,
trouncing the home guards.
In the National the Giants are re-
sponsible for the pleasant balance,
rearing on their hind legs and taking
two in succession from Jimmy Cal
lahan's Pirates. Feeling the need Of
everything possible away from home,
the Giants are playing a new pep
shown both in their play and their
umpire baiting-the players have led
the arbiters who are working
at Pittsburgh, a merry chase-the
whole infield clustering around to
bark at several close decisions.

Character Credit

We met a proud farmer the other
day. lie had been growing his
living" on the farm, for several
years; had a small farm, not quite
paid for, had several good cows,
few hogs and "farm full" of
chickens. He knew he needed a
slo, but he did not have the cash
to buy the materials for homemade
sllo and cutter. After some hesita.
ton he went to a banker and told
hIm he needed a silo, a cutter and
that others wanted 10 buy sIlos, but
wanted him to buy the cutter and
him do their work. He said he
would like to borrow $25O.00 for a
year with the privilege of paying in
December. The banker replied,
"Certainly, l will let you have that
much for such purpose" The
farmer then asked what security the
banker would want and he said
later he almost fell over when the
banker, after being Informed that
he owed nothing said, "Your per-
sonal note will satisfy us. | have
been watching you for two years
and am glad to let you have the
money on your personal note with
out any security"
This is "Character Credit" and
happy will Arkansas be when our
farmers have this kind of credit.
1t will never come to the man who
borrows money with which to buy
meat and potatoes for his family and
corn and hay Tor his stock. Keep
out Of debt for your living and for
your feed and clothes.

PROF. SHIPMAN'S VIEWS
! ON TEXTBOOK CHANCES

Editor HustlerE
Since there is a good deal of tan,
Just now about the changes made in
the public school textbooks by the re-
cent Textbook Commission. | desire
TO offer a remark or two. In the frct
place. the Commission found it necno
sary to make but few changes. viz.
Readers, spelling books, lower history
lower language book and the draWinp
books. The demand for these changes
was made by the teachers of the State
Also the Commission was thoroughly,
competent, having on it school men
of experience and students of media
gogy, and | believe that the teachers
end this Commission are in position to
understand better the merits of a text
book than is the politician who has a
tendency to criticize their acts.
Also, some seem to think that these
changes place a great financial burden
upon the patrons Of the schools be-
cause the old books cannot be used
by younger members of the family af-
ter the adopted book list goes into
effect. Now we know that the old
books may be exchanged for the new
at about half price; SO if any one will
take the time to compare the old and
the new book lists, he will find that
the entire change will amount only to
about $500. This means that a pa
iron who has seven children attending
school and every n in a different
grade will have to expend only $500
because of the changes. Of course the
expense to the man Of the average size
family will be much less than that.

OUT OF REACH.
Cleveland Star.

The price of white print paper is
now beyond the reach of many coun-
try publishers and the pinch has come.
1t would not be surprising news to
hear of the failure of many papers
that have failed to provide against the,
extraordinary increase in all materials
that go into the manufacture of a.
paper. Every publisher has been
forced to practice the strictest econ
omy. Dead beat subscribers have been
cut off, the exchange list has been
trimmed, width of paper margins has
been reduced, subscription prices have
been advanced, even the floor sweep
ings of waste paper trimmings have
been taken care of and sold to the
best advantage, but still all of these
things fail to provide against the in
crease in cost of materials.
Print paper which cost The Star
$2.4O per hundred six months ago is
how costing $3.50 per hundred. In
other words where it took 500 worth
of print paper to issue a Fridays Star
six months ago., it now takes $3.50
worth, with indications of still greater
cost.
In view of this most serious prob
lem that has ever confronted The
Star, we want to insist that our sub
scribers enc at once. You need not
wait for a bill or a collector-we are
trying to escape the price of a postage
stamp and the commission of a col
lector. Just look at the label on your
paper and remit by mail.
