 the fans were afforded a chance of seeing the first good baseball game of the season. The participation in the game of several new men made the play more interesting to the fans. The game resulted in the defeat of the Van Dycks by the Marquettes by the score of six to five, the deciding run being gained by the latter in the last half of the tenth inning.
 Hansen and Parks formed the battery for the Van Dycks, while Logan and Stroecker ofticiated for the Marquettes. Hansen and Logan both pitched good ball, but the lat ter is to be particularly commended for his work, having shown that he is a conner.

MONDAY

All dispatches of today regarding the Mexican troubles indicate thai a declaration of war by the Car Ianza government may be expected al any time It is not thOught. however, that the United States will declare war on the southern re public, the intention of this country being only to protect the various punitive expeditions of American troops now in Mexico from attack by Carranza soldiers. according ;o the reported statement of Secretary of War Baker.
 In the meantime the militia of the various states is being mobi- lized some of il having already been dispatched to the border. The mobilization of the militia, accord ing to the purpoIted statement of the secretary of war. is only for the purpose of guarding the MeXi- can border and keeping the bandits out of the border states. The heads of all of the railroad companies over whose lines the militia will have to be moved to the border say that the work can be done in a satisfactory manner without inter ruption of traffic.
 The Mexican ambassador to the United States has formally noti- fled Secretary Lansing of a clash between Mexican soldiery and Am erican sailors at Mazatlan, on the west coast of Mexico. One Ameri can sailor was fatally wounded and two others were captured. Two Mexican soldiers and one civilian were killed. The sailors were from an American gunboat and had been sent ashore to get the ships mail All of the Americans hurt or cap tured were petty officers.
 A report from Fl Paso is to the effect that the MeXicans all along the border are ready to rise against the Americans at any time. Gen eral Funston has issued orders for bidding MeXicans to cross the line.
 General Obregon, Carranza's war Secretary, has called upon all pat riotic MeXicans to enlist under the Carranza banner and fight against invasion by the United States.
 Refugee arrivals at Galveston, Tex as, report that a state of war has been declared to exist in Yucatan by the Mexican officials there.
 General Francisco Serrano has as sumed the leadership of the Car ranza forces in the state of Chi huahua. General Trevino having been transferred to the personal staff of General Obregon.
 The Mexican ambassador to the United States says that the Next can government and Carranza do not desire war with this country He says however, that the people being of the opinion that the Am ericans are their oppressors and that the government is not now able tC cope with the situation. He asks that a declaration of war be withheld by the United States until such time as it is evident that Car. ranza will be able to do nothing with the people.

GOOD AND BAD DEBTS.

The usual Arkansas farm debts are bad debts because they mortgage the future and are debts for feed and food. A farmer was once asked by a neighbor what he had realized from the sale of bale of cotton, and the reply was, "Oh, some feed and some fertilizer got last spring." Let us abolish that kind of debt by growing our own feed and food, growing more stock, and having more barnyard ma nure and growing peas and beans and clovers as fertilizers, and then never go in debt for the family living or farm maintenance. Debts for feed and food and clothes are bad debts. Debts for sows, COWS, mares are al ways good debts if man has feed. Debts for better farm implements may be good debts, and a debt for silo is good debt if man has some seven to ten, or more cows. Debts for ex- pense are bad debts while debts for an investment may be good. The ex- tension division of the University of Arkasas and United States depart ment of agriculture with it's IA work CTS is unit in working to abolish these bad debts.

PUSH CULTIVATION.

Much of the success of the corn or cotton crop depends on the cultiva- tion. Persistent early cultivation not only makes it possible to control the grass and weeds, but also helps warm the soil. provides air for the roots and hastens the growth of the young plants. Good early cultivation helps put the cotton into thrifty con- dition which resists sore shin or damping off. anthracnose. and plant lice. But by no means neglect early cultivation of the corn. Don't let the corn become stunted in growth. The mistake of that plan was discovered several years ago. Push the cultiva- tion of both corn and cotton. Meke it thorough. Cultivate after each rain as soon as the soil will do to work. In dry weather cultivate once every ten days or two weeks. Let the early cultivation be about three inches deep. later cultivation about two inches deep.

USE WASTE PATCHES.

There arc too many waste patches on Arkansas farms. The general farming operations in the state, seed bed. blowing and cultivation are bet ter this year than ever before. More and better gardens are seen evecy- where and we will have more corn and peas and other feedstuffs than ever before and. the Lord be praised the number of farmers who will go up to October out of debt to mer- chant or banker will be greater than ever before. These men will not have to sell cotton if the price does not suit them. But now for the waste patches. Plant Sudan grass peas, potatoes. turnips. mangel wur- gels. sorghums, Lespedeza. pumpkins anything that will be better than woods; something for the table or for the stock. Let every foot of farming land be utilized all the time It will make thhe place look better, toe.

gains nothing but dead sea fruit, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal, dis cussing the case of one Dowd.
 "Deafy" Dowd is a pickpocket, one of the cleverest of his craft. He has served many sentences in many states. He has worried the plain clothes squad of New York fcs many years. The art of "Deafy" has been in his ability to pick pocket, get by with his stolen property and leave no evidence behind sufficiently strong to secure his con- viction.
 The police know that he is d crook, but knowing thing and being able to prove it are distinctly different matters.
 However, "Deafy" Dowd has been arrested and convicted. As he was being taken from the courtroom he had occasion to talk with youth ar rested for the first time. "Live straight" he advised. Do not be- come dip. It don't pay. l have tried it and 1 know"
 This is good advice coming from a notorious thief. He knew what he was talking about.
 Probably the better part of Dowd's life had been spent in the criminal world There is fascination about stealing that lures the young man on. Dowd experienced this sensation until stealing ceased to be matter of habit. It became matter of course. He paid the penalty when caught in the act and smiled grimly as he walked from the door of the prison only to be- gin the old habit of stealing over again. He is now veteran in vice. But he knows by his bitted contact with the world that stealing does not pay.
 One of the most accomplished counterfeiters this country has ever known is today living on the bounty of his relatives.' Despite the marvel ous cunning of the criminal mind, scarcely one of the big men of the underworld has saved cent. They have nearly all died paupers depend ent upon the charity of others. Sev- eral years ago the king of green goods men, man who had by his ingenuity stolen hundreds of thousands of dol lars, passed last winter guest of Blackwell Island at his own request. Crime does not pay. The advice of "Deafy" Dowd was sound and sensi- ble.

The adoption by the cotton growers of this section, at their meeting We'd nesday, of resolution of thanks to the chamber of commerce and it's sec retary, E. B, Bloom, is another indi- cation that mutual satisfaction al- ways accrues, when services is rend- cred by one from whom service is due.
 Every institution, be it financial, commercial, public or private, has something which it is necessary to sell to the public, or which the public has need to use. The sale or use of these articles or commodities or what not, on the face of things, would complete a deal. Rut-
 The successful merchant, banker, newspaper, preacher, teacher, doctor, is the one who gives more than this, however. He is the one who gives that little extra exertion and care, which means, briefly, service" Any man can cash a check or make loan; any man who can read and write, can write an article for paper; any man can sell $20 suit of clothes or $5 pair of shoes, wrap it up, and collect for it; any teacher can instruct that ? and ? make four; any doctor can is- sue prescription. But the one who goes beyond that, who pleases and satisfies his patron, who makes an effort to see that the patron goes away with warm feeling of friend- ship, that man is the man who sue ceeds above his fellows. That man gives service"
 Generally considered strictly Pine Bluff institution, the chamber of com naerce is more than that, it is coun- ty, . sectional, institution, with a rule, "Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Southeast Arkansas, Arkansas" Hence the appropriateness of the resolution adopted by the cotton planters at their meeting-cotton planters whose homes are scattered over this and several adjacent coun- ties:
 Resolved, that we hereby tender our sincere thanks to the Pine Bluff chamber of commerce for the use of it's assembly hall and other courtesies extended us, and, especially, do we thank it's efficient secretary, E. B Bloom, who, by his uniformly pleasing and prompt attention to our severa requests has made us feel that it is g genuine pleasure to call on the cham Der of commerce for any assistance tending to better the conditions of oul people"

COOPERATION IN IMPLEMENTS.

Farmers are asking about larger and better implements. The exten- sion service folks are urging co-oper- ation in the buying and in the Use of this larger mslshineryl Let two farmers buy section harrow or a disc harrow together and then double team" in their use. One mower or one reaper may be enough for three or four small farms. A silage cutter will be ample for from four to seven farms if near together. good grinder will serve half dozen farmers. A awo-horse cultivator for two small farms will beat the old method. One man can easily do the work of two and and the other can do something else Co-operate!
