make first downs, while the Hendrix team succeeded 28 times.
 The Mountaineers made most of their gains through the Bulldogs line which failed to hold. The linemen showed lack of fight all the way through, while the backfield staged a pretty game. The Bulldogs most successful method of gaining terri tory was via the long end run route, and to Fullback Jimmie Wahl goes the credit for about half of the entire gains. "Ox" Bearden, Bennie Mayo and "Piggie" Sinclair ripped off a number of lengthy runs.
 The first touchdown was registered seven minutes after the kickoff Hendrix advanced the ball to within striking distance, and Wahl reeled off the few feet necessary to accom- phsh his purpose. Wahl scored the next touchdown four minutes later Other touchdowns were made by Vaughn and Sinclair, who made two each, and "Ox" Bearden. Sinclair had bad day kicking goals from touchdowns, missing four of the seven trials.
 Hendrix scored in every quarter except the third, making 13 in the first, 19 in the second and 13 in the fourth.
 Gordon Campbell of Lake Forest refereed; Dan Estes of Arkansas umpired and Orien Wray of the Nor mai was head linesman.
 The Bulldogs will have good rest this week, no games being scheduled until Friday, November 3, wher Southwestern Presbyterian Universi ty comes here Following Saturday defeat of Cumberland College, the Bulldogs were in good condition none of the players sustaining an in- jury. This week will be devoted to putting into execution new plays with which Coach Headrick hopes to baffle the Presbyterians.

SENSATIONAL RISE
 IN COTTON PRICE FUTURES UP 70 POINTS
Previous High Records Exceeded by 40 POints-Lint and Seed Both
 Higher Here.

An advance that is sensational even in the present unprecedented days in the cotton market occurred today, when the price of futures on the New York market made net gain of practically 70 points over Saturdays close. The Liverpool mar ket came this morning about 20 Eng fish points up and New York opened an average of 30 points higher on all months. With few set-backs the market mounted higher throughout the day, closing practically at the top Spots in New York were advanced 60 points to 1910 cents for middling. Another similar day will carry the market in easy sight of the coveted 20-cent mark.
 On the local market prices were ad- vanced this afternoon to 1860 cents, with strong indication of going to IS 3-4 cents before night. Receipts are rather light today, and many farmers re bringing their last bales to Con y.
 Cottonseed made its fifth consecu- tive advance of 50 cents ton today. Although $52 per ton was paid in a few cases Saturday, the ruling price was $51.50. Today no loads have been sold for less than $52, the mar ket being firm and steady at that figure.

KEEP UP ROAD TAX
 JUDGE HOLT URGES MISTAKE TO DEFEAT II
Retiring County Judge Says Good Work Has Been Done During
 Past Four Years.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat ane
 Voters of Faulkner County:
 l am writing this letter because l am, 1 believe, more familiar with the roads of Faulkner county than any other one man, having travelled over nearly every mile of public road in the county in the past year. While the roads are not what they should be if we had a better system of work ing them, they are better by far than If we had no system at all. So want to ask you voters to think twice before you make out your ballot against road tax.
 It will make no more difference with me any more than with any other man how it goes, as my term as judge will have expired, and while l would favor a change being made by our next legislature in our road system, let's not drop what we have until we get something better. It will take some time to get something better and if we let the roads go just one year without patching and repairing, you will see a vast diff ference.
 If any of you that claim there has been nothing done on the roads to improve them in the past two years will just go over in White county, where they voted down the road tax, you will be convinced of your mistake. Our roads are good as compared with theirs.
 l want to say in this connection that l have tried as best l could under the circumstances to improve the roads, and while l have not done all that l might have done if the judges salary was sufficient for him to devote all his time to the work, l have put in time that did not feel l could afford to. And while my road overseers as whole have done the very best they could with what they had to do, there is yet a great deal to do and will be for years to come. l want to say that there are a great many folks coming to me day after day complaining about what such -and-such overseers were doing; drawing the money and not doing any work. 1 want to state right here that such statements are as false as can be and without any foundation.
 can truthfully say that the roads have been improved a great deal in the past few years and will be inn proved great deal more in the next few years, even if we don't have any better system. So let's not be hasty and do something for which we will be sorry, but hold to the system we now have until the law-making pow CT gives us something better, by voting for the three-mill road tax on the 7th day of November.
 l write this letter, not trying to uphold my administration as county judge, but in the interest of the greatest county in Arkansas-Faulk- ner.
 Yours for better roads in any way that we can get them,
 J. w. Holt, County Judge.

HOW NO. z GOT A
 NEW SChO0LhOUSt RAISED CROP OF COTTON
Cadron Valleys Enterprise is a Story of Unusual Self-Sacrifice
 and Progressiveness.

A story of enterprise, generosity and cooperation in a school district that should be an inspiration to others throughout the county and state was related to the Log Cabin Democrat Saturday afternoon by J. E. Hardin of Holland, who called to renew his own and two other sub- scriptions to this paper. Cadron Valley district, No. 27, needed a new school building. For years it had been voting the full seven-mill levy, but this was only sufficient to operate the school and nothing could be spared from it for building purposes.
 The patrons of the district, as a rule, are people of limited means. But they have unlimited courage and energy. Feeling the necessity of a school building, they set themselves to secure it. They began by renting
 10 acres of land from Mir. Hardin. Freely donating the labor, the men of the district broke the land, pre- pared it well and planted it in cotton. In keeping with their own progress siveness they decided to cultivate it under the supervision of the United States demonstrator, J. L. Phillips. Until the crop was matured, every hours work on it was free. And, with inspiration of higher educational ideals for their children before them, men never did better work on a crop. But this was not all. Everybody could not work in the crop at once, but everybody found something to do From their own woods lots other men cut down big trees, loaded them up and hauled them to the nearest saw mill, where the timber was cut into framing and foundation lumber, and then they hauled the lumber to the site of the new school. Nobody ex- cept the sawmill man got cent for all this labor. And as the lumber was put on the ground, still others went to work with it. There were two or three carpenters residing in the district, Mr. Hardin said, and
 these, aided by other farmers, be- gan to erect the building.
 But money had to be had for finish ing lumber, hardware, doors and windows, etc., and here Is where the school crop came in. Already five good bales of cotton have been gath cred from the 10 acres and it is be- lievcd there is another one still in the | field The sale of this cotton has paid every cent of cost on the build
 ing So far, and there is over $500 in the bank to the credit of the district,
 which will be more than enough to
 complete it. And the regular tax money of the district is in the coun- ty treasury untouched and ready to be drawn upon when the school is opened early next month.
 Cldron Valley now has or will soon have a school building of which the district may we'll be proud. But there
 is till greater cause for pride in wh.t has been put into the building

 'The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed insofar as it declares that majority did not vote in favor of either of the two places proposed for removal. But the judgment declaring that the proposed removal from Per ryville failed to carry is reversed and the cause demanded to the cir cult court with directions to enter a judgment in accordance with the statute, ordering a new election to determine the location of the county seat, as between Perryville, the old county seat, and Bigelow, the other candidate"

w. G.. T. U. Notes
A temperance Campaign

The movement for a statewide
campaign for simultaneous action all
over Wisconsin on the Sunday closing
of saloons grew out of informal con-
ferences at the state convention OF
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union at Eau Claire in September.
Delegates from towns where the
state law on the selling of intoxicants
on Sunday was being enforced carried
their reports to the convention, and
so many questions were put to them
by other delegates who wished to
carry the movement forward in their
home towns, that plan was arranged
whereby every union in the state
was appealed to, and asked to join
the state wide simultaneous move
ment. There was no indication as
| to methods, and each town proceeded
as best fitted it's needs. The results
have been truly wonderful. Wher-
ever large town has completed a
victorious campaign the smaller towns
| in the vicinity have followed suit.
| The work is by no means complete
| for while many towns report the
work accomplished, others are just
lin the midst of their campaign, and
Others report that plans are made to
Ibegin as soon as possible.
The movement long ago outgrew
the facilies of the committee In
charge, and is proceeding now of its
own volition, for when one town re-
ports victory others follow suit. 1t
| is destined to make clean Sabbath
day all over Wisconsin, for what can
be done in one community can be
done in another, mot by might or
by power, by Thy Spirit.
Actual statistics are not ready as
the committee cannot even keep up
with the correspondence, and no
adequate report can be given for
several weeks.
