SPRVGDAE WASHINGTON COUNTY ARKANSAS FRIDAY AUGUST 49,

partment have ruled that the new
national defense act confers no
authority to hold the enlisted
man of the national guard in the
active service, without his con
sent, for longer period than
three years, unless the call OF the
national guard into Federal SER
vice in time of war or national
emergency shall be regarded as
embracing the national guard re
serve.
1t cannot be so regarded in the
present national guard mobiliza-
ton as no mention of the reserve
was made in the president S re-
cent call Of the national guard
and militia to the colors. Enlist
ed men Of the organized militia
who have not subscribed to the
new dual oaths Of enlistment
are to be discharged upon the
period.

For some time past The News
has been accepting subscriptions
at the rate Of S1.00 per year, but
beginning with October 1st, the
regular rate of $50 will prevail.
This is made necessary by the
increased cost of production.
Paper on which The News is
printed is now costing more than
twice what it formerly did, and
the price is still going up and no
Iione can predict what the end
will be. There is a scarcity of
paper throughout the country
as a result Of the European war
stopping importation Of raw ma

that paper cannot be had when

Revival Meeting at Baptist
Church Creating Large Inter
est-Evangelist Frazier Brings
a Message of Power to Spring
dale People-Seven Conver-
sions and Eight Additions First
Week.

The first week of the revival
meeting now in progress at the
Baptist Church has resulted in
seven conversions and eight adj
ditions to the church. This is an
excellent indication of the inter-
est that is being manifest, and
before the close it is anticipated
that scores will be saved.
Although the weather has been
warm, and the services are be-
ing held in the church building,
the sermons by Evangelist Ffaz-
Ter are powerful and large crowds
are II attendance, and especially
at the evening services. Electric
fans in the church serve to re-
lieye the oppressive heat to a
great extent.
The music is an attractive
feature Of the meeting the choir
numbering from thirty-five to
fifty at each evening service, and
the song service is extraordinar
ily good. Special music is now
being arranged, and at most ev-
cry service there are musical num-
bers such as duets, quartettes
and solos.
The meeting will continue
throughout next week. The after
noon service begins at = 80, and
the evening service at s o clock.
All services are opened with a
song service of thirty minutes by
the choir.
Sunday will probably witness
a large crowd, as the interest is
growing daily. The sermons us
eel by Evangelist Frazier are en-
tirely new; that is they are not
the same as used when he visited
| Springdale a few months ago.
Those who are missing the SER
vices are missing a great treat
III the handling of the gospel.
Evangelist Frazier makes no eff
fort to dodge the issue; he brings
his subject squarely before his
hearers, without fear or favor,
calling things by their right name
and when the blow strikes it
leaves a mark. He should be
heard by every man, woman and
child in Springdale and surround
ing section. Conventionalities
are disregarded by the evange-
list in his discourse, and he makes
no attempt to win souls by care
full painting Of word pictures that
are misunderstood by his listen
ers; anyone can understand his
sermons, and he made the better
by hearing them.

CITY JAIL WILL HOLD
NUMBER OF JUVENILE
GUESTS NEXT WEEK
Local Youngsters Who Staged
Free-for-all on High School
Campus Monday Afternoon
Will Feast on Bread and
Water.

Some ten or fifteen Of the
youngsters Of Springdale eneag-
ed in general free-for-all at
the High School campus MondaX
afternoon, of this week and
Mayor Smith is anticipating sey-
eral guests at the city bastile as
a result, and the mayor promises
a feast, in the way Of bread and
water for the boys.
just how the melee started,
who touched the hidden spring,
and commenced the trouble seems
to be a mystery, and yet it was
all in broad open daylight. From
various sources it seems that
bunch of the boys, ages ranging
from ten to fifteen years, were
having their usual afternoon frol-
lie at the high school, and one of
the boys called some of the bunch
vile name. This usually starts
trouble, and more especially
where youngsters, such as these
boys We're, is concerned. Hardly
had the words been uttered, when
the battle started. Skinny :"
Tillman seemed to be the leader
of the take it back crowd, and
Dick Trimble, leader and entire
army" Of the other side. Skin
ny started hostilities when he
slammed young Trimble in the
right eye; he used right upper
cut; his aim was good, and young
Trimble felt the blow. BY this
time Skinny presumed that he
had done his part, and started
to leave the field of battle; and
allow his comrades to finish the
work. Trimble, by this time had
secured heavy artillery, and a
we'll directed shot with rock
took Skinny on the back of the
head, and he went down for the
count.
Skinny S comrades rushed to
his rescue; Trimble sent up the
white flag of truce, took back
what he had said, and quiet
reigned. Many excited mothers
witnessed the battle; and several
boys who were present attempt
ed the role of peace at any
price and they will be brought
before Mayor Smith as we'll as
all combatants. Outside Of the
injuries of the two boys mention
eel, the fray was bloodless af-
fair.
The boys are most all too
young to be fined, or given a
jail sentence; but they will be
placed in the city jail, and fed
for two days, on Springdale light
bread and Springdale water; this
to give them a lesson; as Mayor
Smith says he has been having
many complaints on account of
the doings of the youngsters,

Most of the second place glory that

inning game, second in the world S
series, belongs to Smith, pitcher, and
Hi Myers, centerf1elder. It goes to
Smith for the fine game he twirled
and to Myers for his home run in the
first inning made off Ruth. Myers
came within an ace Of beating the
Red Sox singled handed, although
Boston won. to 1. He was the
Robins brightest star. Myers shocked
Babe Ruth and the Boston fans when
he hammered the ball to the concrete
wall in right center for a clean home
run in the first inning. It was q ire

plate before Janvrin, in short center,
had a chance to relay Walkers long
throw to Catcher Thomas. Myers also
made several miraculous plays in the
field He killed a possible two Dagger

when he captured a hard line drive in

ninth with a gorgeous throw. Pic

Experience is supposed to play a
leading part in winning sport. The
experienced entry is always supposed
to have the jump. 1t was mainly for
this reason that Marquard and
Coombs were figured as Brooklyn S
lea ding World Series hopes They had
been the lofty hurdles before, and
therefore were supposed to know the
proper way. Yet the vital statistics
in the matter fail to carry this theory
on to q logical conclusion.
Their First Starts.
Matty pitched his first World Series
games in 1905. Bereft Of all World
Series experience, he yet cashed in
three shut-outs, setting a pitching
record no one has ever equa!led or
approached.
Babe Adams entered his first
World Series experience in 1909. He
finished with three victories out Of
three starts against one Of the hardest
hitting clubs the game has ever
known.
Jack Coombs bumped into his first
World Series experience in 1910.
all that Jack did as a starter
was to peel off three victories aginst
the Cubs, and in each game he was
facing experienced moundsmen.
So here we have three pitchers with
no experience in World Series war
fare, and their net harvest. was nine
victories out of nine starts This
would indicate that experience in the
big post-season scramble was not such

In one way it was more of a sur
prise than it ought to have been, how
ever, for Macfarlane has proved his
right to be classed close to the top
more than once in the past and was
one of the two golfers who led the
field at Inwood less than fortnight
ago in the Metropolitan qualifying
round for the tourney now in prog
ress. He beat Brady yesterday after
noon by a streak of sparkling golf on
the inward journey that came so sud
denly after nine holes of rather ragged
golf that it swept Brady off his feet
and put him out of the tourney before
he fairly realized what was happening.
