After the Game.

Now that the hard fought day IS ended,
With lauels for the favored few;
The cheering and the jeering blended
IN praise or blame that may be due;
NoD that the score has been completed
Beyond the SHALLOW depths Of Fame,
AMONG both rictors and defeated,
Wen turn to those who played the game.
Not in the losing or the thinning,
Success nor failure for the day,
But from the battles first beginning
Wen take their work up, play By play;
How rel they trred-hov they stood ready
Beyond the world crowds nnrrow sight,
Wen lift our glasses braUely, steady,
And drink to those whore fought the fight.
To those ,oho know their fame is orer,
To those rho so 1cel lore the fight,
Though they might d1ceu in summer clorcr,
Then hold the lire against the night;
To those Vho k,aotc thot glory's feeting,
A gray ghost on phantom barge,
Who give their best and take their beating,
To come again for one more charge.

PAVING DISTRICT
 COLLECTION SLOW

Few property-owners in street i'm provement districts 1, ? and 3 have as yet paid their 1916 assessments, according to Collector w. w. Bishop, in whose hands the books for the three districts have been placed. The assessments in each of the districts became due on November 1 and must be paid within 30 days. It is usually the case, however, that the taxpayers wait until the last few days to make their payments. There were no de- linquents in any of the paving dis tricts last year and the collector does not anticipate that there will be any this year.

NEW KIRBY s DIGEST

Senator Elect William F. Kirby has informed his friends that he has let a contract for the publication of new digest of the statutes of Arkan- sas and that the book will be ready for delivery about January 1. Only 1000 copies of the work will be print ed, Judge Kirby states, and orders for it will be filed in order of publi- cation. Judge Kirby made the digest of the Arkansas laws in 1904, since which time the legislature has not authorized another digest. The new digest is private enterprise of Judge Kirby, but it is considered likely that it will be adopted by the legislature which convenes next January.

PRODUCE BIG TURNIPS
 IN NORMAL s GARDENS

Specimens of exceptionally fine turnips grown in the garden of the State Normal School were left at the Log Cabin Democrat office today. The turnips, which are of the purple top globe variety, weighed from two to three pounds each and are perfectly sound, despite their unusual size. From about one-fourth acre, planted August 10 on land on which other vegetables had been grown, between 75 and 100 bushels of the turnips were produced.

ESTIMATE CROP AT
 l0,862,900 BALES
MEMPHIS PAPERS GUESS
Based on Reports of Correspondents in Belt-Picking at Rate Never
 Before Approximated.

Memphis, Nov. 13.-The Commer- clal Appeal estimates the amount of cotton from the 1916 crop at 1O,862,- 900 bales, exclusive of linters. The crop has been harvested at a rate never before approximated. As picking and ginning have progressed the shortness of the yield has become more and more pronounced in those districts affected by heavy rains of last summer, and the boil weevil. Memphis appears to be the center of the area having the biggest crop, with Eastern Arkansas, Northern Mis- sissippi and Western Tennessee all reporting excellent yields.
 In Texas, Louisiana, most of Okla homa, and the southern section of the eastern belt, picking is almost com plete. In these sections many cor respondents stated that there was not another bale to be ginned after Mo- vember 1, and that many gins had not run at all throughout the season. Very light weight of bales is char acteristic of the crop that may for once in history make the govern ment's theoretical 5OO-pound bale heavier than the average of running bales. In Georgia and the Carolinas the lateness of frost has allowed some late cotton to mature, especially in South Carolina.
 As rule farmers are selling free ly, but for the last few weeks there has been steady addition to the number of holders. All are disposed to hold whenever prices decline. So long as new maximum prices are made, or buyers are willing to pay old record prices, selling is free, but no concessions are being made.
 A hope for better results next year is held in the statement from cor respondents in the sections where the crop is shortest that the shortness is more the result of torrential rains during the growing period than to the boil weevil. However, the latter played very important part.
 Estimates of the yield by states follow:
