1t will be noted that the National
Guard has a number of very heavy
games ahead Of its aggregation. The
chief attractions will be the n. G. H,
VS.. LIST Infantry game on Thanksgiv'
ing Day and the n. G.. H. VS.. College
of Hawaii game on November %, in
answer to the challenge by the Col
lege of Hawaii for that date.
The game of next Saturday, n. G. H
VS.. Marines is sure to be a big fea
ture, as neither of these teams has
been defeated up to date, and the
supporters of both teams are very hot
behind their eleyens. In a scrimmage
between the Marines and the Guard
at the earlier part of the season the
Marines won 20, but it is thought
that the Guardsmen have improved
more than the Marines, so they may
have a shade the advantage in the
big contest Saturday. .-..- ..... -.
So far the National Guard has won
two games-from the End Infantry
and from the Field Artillery.
from the Fie Artillery and from
the Coast Defense. 1t looks as il
these two teams were going to have
to scrap it out for the championship
though nothing is yet known Of the
ability of the new 32nd Infantry

has pitched ball in both coast leagues,

here. Chief Johnson had good rec

Guisto Star
Louis Guisto. who last year was

Harold Janvrin, one of the heroes
of the recent world series, will play

the keystone sack when Jack Barry

He will work in the double plays with
Sammy Bohne. San Francisco boy

has been playing independent ball,
and is IN excellent shape.
The fly gatherers of the party will
be Bill Kenwofthy, the millionaire
gardener, who played in the Federals,
and who will go back to Fielder Jones
with the Browns next year, Joe Jack
son, who at one time bloomed at
Bloomington and now with the Los

has been eating his meals with John
McGraw in Gotham. Kelley made
good on the coast, and looks like a
regular for the Giants. The manager,
Charley Swain, played with Washing

players in the business. He has
played in every city on the Pacific
coast and made name as fence

Hawaii. William Lager, one of the
leading matmen in Hawaii, has been
in communication with Santell, and
the champion, who is rated third in
America, wants to come here for a
number of bouts if the right arrange
ments can be made.
Santell has made an effort to land
a mattel with Frank Gotch, but the
champion refused to meet him, after
the articles were signed up. San
Francisco has turned out big crowds
to see the big mailman in action, and
he would be a great drawing card in

Nationals, who stepped down the
gangplank OF the Great Northern this
morning while the Hawaiian band
swas serenading them. They can play
ball on the mainland, and it will be
only two days before the fans will
have an opportunity OF judging how
much of an edge they have on the To-
cal teams.
In the catching department the ALI
Nationals will have Harold Elliott,
sometimes called "Rowdy." This re-
ceiver had a sad fate managing the
Lowly Oaks, but when Elliott took up
his bed and hiked for the Windy City
TO handle the shoots of the Cub pitch
ers the Oaks didn't show the acorn
ability at all. They remained in the
submersible class. Josephus Tinker,
who may take the helm at Chicago
again, thinks well of the former Pa
cific Coast League player, and the
fact that "Rowdy" made them sit up
and take notice means that he is
good maskman.
300 Hitter
Johnny Basslcr, who has been do
ing the backst3p work for Chances
Angels. is considered one of the best
catchers in the p. C. l.. He is 300
hitter, one of the few in the Baum
circuit. He should show something
TO the speed burners of Hawaii.
The visitors should have an edge
on the pitching, with the exception
OF the game with the 18th Infantry
as Rogan looks better than Moves,
Reuther or Johnson. Wynn Noyes at
one time made good record in the
Northwest League and then McCredie
invited the spit ball artist to come
down to his billiard hall in Portland

ARKANSAS. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE q

all carry evidence of how we'll you
can do. Many business man has
been eking out a miserable existence,
sitting around. waiting for something
to turn up, hoping something will
come to the town to make business
better, having ten places for every
dollar he gets his hands on, half fed
and poorly clothed, honest to the
core, but lacking the push to make
a business succeed. The banker will
not lend to such fellow. He lacks
the essential element of Ego"
You may argue that ability is in
herited, or that it comes from educa-
ton. and excuse yourself. Bosh.
Every man gets the education he
wants. if not in school. then by him
self. If you haven't ability and can't
acquire it. you can buy it in the other
fellow. Brains are always for sale
at price And the man who lacks
business ability, and cannot see the
necessity of applying himself to ac-
qure it, and has no money to buy 1t
{many great men have been made so
by the crowd they gathered around
them) had better not be a seeker for
credit at q we'll managed bank, for
out of such loans come the losses.
Capitalize your honesty by coupling
it with ability, and make your ability
valuable by devoting it to honest ends.
Be on the level, but be very busy
while you are on the level.
After all. thrift is merely the ability
to do-to earn; and earning. to save.
The ability that gets a man nowhere
financially is misdirected ability:
for the man who applies himself to a
definite end, and is honest in his ap-
plication saves money as a. natural
sequence; and when you ask your
banker to lend you money, his first
question will be: "HaNe you any of
your OWN" If you can't take care of
your money. what assurance has he
that you will judiciously use the
money he lends you? Character and
capacity-the two big c's Of credit
but leading to capital, the last big

1T IS A FACT

That rural and small town folk are
better readers and thinkers than city
folk because they have less to de-
tract their attention.
That political boodling, bossing and
skulduggery takes place in the large
cities, where voters are "like dumb,
driven CATTLE"
That the best type of stalwarC, indie
pendent Americanism is found in the
rural districts and small towns.
That hundreds of thousands in the
big cities don't even know the name
of their congressman.
That country papers are not as big
as large city papers but are read more
carefully.
That the votes. of the men in the
rural districts and small towns easily
decide every political campaign.
That many country people don't
realize their own power but the poll
teal managers in Washington and
New York never underrate it. ~

TALKS ON BANKING.

have endeavoret1 to show that the frst
essential when a. man engages I'M rusi-

credit, is. business character, ana that
this character is more than honesty.

We put on discount upon the i'm

will quickly demonstrate that unless

a father to son, only to go to pieces
because the son did not interit the

The prediction that this devastating

Election and observation. Nature re-
pairs the ravages of man, and in the
future, as in the past, will provide his
food-with his intelligent assistance.
Predictions of this sort are never veri-
fled. Twenty years ago Sir William
Crookes an English scientist attracted
wife attention by his prophecy that
within quarter of century the
wheat supply would fail its increase
falling far behind the expansion of
population seen all over the world.
The date fixed for the direful are thus
predicted is only about five years dis
tant, but as yet there are no signs
Of its approach.
When such time arrived, accord
ing to this prophet, the United States
and other countries producing a sur
plus would no longer export wheat
and the inhabitants of the British
Isles would be the first and greatest
sufferers, they being able to produce
only about IS per cent. of the wheat
necessary for their daily bread. Sir
William Crookes stated that the wheat
area of the United States had practi-
cally ceased to expand since 1885, but

expansion in favored districts of
Spanish are still great. Even
when all the productive soil of the
Western hemisphere and other parts
of the world is under cultivation it will
wheat acreage will be impossible. The
greater demand there is for wheat at
paying prices, the more wheat will be
substituted for other crops, on the
common business principle understood
by every farmer ,nas the greatest
acreage must be devoted to the most
profitable crop.
Still, it is possible to conceive of a
time when all the land will be taken
up and when this method of devoting
the bulk of the acreage to the most
necessary crop will not furnish suffi-
cient bread for the thousands of mil
lions who will crowd each other on

time in the future. Before the arrival
Of such an era the population is like

that this waxing in one quarter and

on, slowly but surely.
