Ty Cobb Stopped Most
Frequently of Those
Who Tried To Steal

That the players who steal the most
bases are those who start off ON the
most thieving expeditions is proved
by the American leagues records for
1915 that show the number OF times
each athlete speedy and slow. was
caught when on larceny bent" The
player tagged oftenest by the mask
men was Tyrus Raymond Cobb, and
he, as is well known. set during the
last campaign a new record for the
johnson organization in burgIaries.
Eddie Collins led the White Sox in
thefts and he also led them in being
turned back trying to steal.
Clyde Milan ranked first among the
Nationals in pilfering sacks and he
also ranked first among them in being
caught. The same condition of a.f-
fairs is found in the case of lead
ers Shotton of the Browns, Chapman
of the Indianse and Speaker of the
Red Sox.
1t isn't located. however, in the case
of pacesetters MaiseI of the Yanks
and Walsh of the White Elephants
for Old Man HartzeI was the Dono-
vanite most frequently nailed trying
to steal by the windpaddists and
Young Man Strunk bore this distinc-
ton among the Mackmen. Afaisel
certainly is much faster than HartzelI
and Strunk probably can travel a bit
quicker than Walsh. However, the
dope works out in six out OF eight
cases.

FURTHER AID FOR THE
FARMERS,

The activities of the agricultural
extension service of the University
of Arkansas is to be increased in a
manner that will appeal most direct
lv to the farmers of the state. For
several years they have been taught
diversification, but they have found
that after diversified crops have been
raised. a market must be provided or
their work results in failure, and
they return again to the one crop
that always yields ready money.
To meet this deficiency, a market
ing expert is to be assigned to duty
in the state. 1t will be his duty to
aid the farmers in the organization OF
cooperative marketing. associations.

kets, and instructing them in the best
methods Of packing and shipping. He
will cooperate with all the agricul-
tural agencies of the state, especially
with the county agents, and the re-
suits must necessarily be very i'm
portant in the emancipation of the
state from the one-crop system.

There are 100000 protesting
Christians in the United States.
Working together, they would hold
the balance of power in any good
movement.
The ratio of protesting Christians
in Pine Bluff is much higher than in
the nation as whole. because the
millions of non-Christians in the big
cities lower the percentage of Chris
tians from a nationwide aspect.
If the Christians "held together"
worked together, co-operated, their
influences would carry the town II
every good cause.
So many of them are busy in world
ly things, however, that they haven
the time to cooperate.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

of finance they are and what
an important factor they will be
in making this country the most
thrifty in the world?
1t is the home economies that
loom up large and in this way one
learns the truth of the saying:
Small things are not small if great
results come of them"
Thrift, in the home, should have
as its highest exponent, the wife
and mother. Her aim should be
always to conserve and to improve
living conditions by the strict prac-
tice Of home economies. She should
study the markets each morning
just as her husband does. She
should watch the pennies as the
business man watches them in his
transactions; she should keep a
family budget and personally do
her own marketing. She should
learn to cook and serve the foods
she buys without waste.
What do the little savings care
fully boarded from these small
economies of the housewife amount
to? A visit to the Probate Court
viii give answer more graphically
than any written word. 1t is the
1:ttle savings begun in the first
years of married life that met the

A COUNTY MUSEUM.

There are more than 600 museums
in the country, and thousands of
others that are of purely local
character. Their educational influ-
elce is tremendous.
Pine Bluff cannot have one of the
big museums; and indeed, it isn't
necessary. But every town and
county should have a local historical
museum in which the mode of life of
the early local settlers, mementoes
of the wars in which they fought,
could be adequately preserved.
Some of the most interesting factors
in the history of Jefferson county
live only in the memories of it's
older Inhabitants; and when they die
much that would be an Inspiration to
