FOOTBALL GAME TO BE
 RED CROSS BENEFIT
Zebras and Camden High School Will Meet on Gridiron on
 Thanksgiving.

Committees, composed of members of the local chapter, of the American Red Cross society; were on the streets yesterday selling tickets for the football game to be given for the benefit of this organization at the Ath- letic field tomorrow afternoon. The teams of the Pine Bluff High school and the Camden High school will stage the battle, and the game prom ises to prove very exciting.
 The game will begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock Thanksgiving after. noon and the net proceeds will be turn ed over to the Red Cross to be used in the work of this organization. Due to the fact that great many of the stores will be closed on this day, a large crowd is expected, and while the local team is badly crippled, on account of injuries received by the members during the games at Little Rock and Monticello, the plucky little eleven is confident that they will once more carry their colors to victory.

LARGE CONSUMERS Of NATURAL GAS
 MUST PAY MORE
Arkansas Natural Gas Com pany Official Says Com
 pany Not Profiting. ].

Users of natural gas for industrial purposes in Pine Bluff will be called upon to meet an advance in rates, ac- cording to an announcement by the Arkansas Gas company, whose offici- alS state that labor and material costs incidental to the production and dis tribution of gas have advanced in keeping with the same factors in oth- CT industries, and that the company cannot continue to supply large users II present rates.
 Conditions are such that we must obtain more revenue or go out of busi- ness," said ]. R. Munce, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Ark ansas Natural Gas company, who ex- plained that while many consumers of gas imagine that the company only has fo dril it's well and then "stand by and hold the sack" that this is far from the facts.
 "The cost of pipe" continued Mir. Munce, of which we use vast quantities, has advanced several hum dred per cent. The increased cost in supervision and maintenance of our pipe line, the improvements and re- inforcements installed at river cross- ings, and other details too numerous to mention, have all contributed to make a continuation of existing rates unprofi fitable, and therefore impo, ssible."

ExpIaIns Rock Formation.

Rock formation, like other physl' cal and chemical phenomena." says Dr. Arthur L. Day, director of the Geophysical Laboratory, Ifs the result of certain forces acting upon certain forms of matter. An exact knowledge of rock formation accordingly will de- pend upon the ability to establish deh- nitely the characteristic properties of these particular forms of matter and to measure the forces which act In each case. The facts that in nature the individual rock-forming minerals do not occur in great purity. and that the active forces arc applied over . great range of conditions and long pe- riods of time, merely cucumber the problem with technical difficulties of considerable magnitude; they do not confuse its analysis."

In Rice Fields.

Rice lands are usually ploughed a short time before planting time, and in some parts of southern Louisiana the land $ so low and wet. and the soil so stiff as to necessitate ploughing in the water. Deep ploughing is rec commended by leading rice experts. It has been demonstrated that the better the soil and the more thoroughly it is pulverized the better the crop. The roots of annual cultivated plants do not feed much below the plough line: {: 1t is therefore evident that deep culti vation places more food within reach of the plant.

NEGROES HELD ON MURDER CHARGE
James Poynter and Hess Bearden Are Accused of Accessory to the
 Murder of Hugh Garner.

As result of the action of the cor oner's jury, in the inquest over the body of Hugh Garner, the negro who was knocked in the head near this city Sunday night and whose body was burned, James Poynter and Hess Bear den, negroes, are in the county jail here, charged with accessory to mur- der in the first degree.
 The alleged murderer, Henry With erspoon, a negro, has not been cap- tured, as yet, but the local authori- ties have sent notices all over the sur rounding country and hope to have him in custody at an early date. He was brought to this city at an early hour Monday morning by his mother, and, according to the statement of his mother, said he was going to Stuttgart to work in the rice fields near that city.
 lie verdict of the coroner's jury, at the inquest yesterday afternoon, was to the effect that Gardner came to his death from blow from blunt weap- on in the hands of Henry Witherspoon.
 It is alleged that Witherspoon stole from Gardner recently the sum of $28O and that he told Gardner last Sum- day afternoon that if he would ac- company him into the woods, where he had hidden the money, he would return it to him. Gardner and Witherspoon were accompanied by James Poyn- ter and Hess Bearden, but before the party reached the woods the Bearden negro left the others, fearing, he stat ed, that trouble might ensue and did not. want to have anything to do with it.
 According to the statement which To. cal authorities say that James Poyn- ter made, when the negroes reached the woods Witherspoon struck Gard ner in the head with an axe, and then, with the assistance of Poynter, drag ged the body into the woods a short way and placed it in a fallen tree-top. After heaping branches over the body, they set fire to the pile and after watching it burn for while separat. ed.
 The body was found by Deputies Constable Jim Reidinger and Cliff Pilkington, and they immediately ar rested Poynter, Bearden, Nancy With erspoon, mother of the accused muir .derer, and Viola Bearden and Bertha Patterson, sisters of Witherspoon. The officers were unable to find Wither- spoon. After the Inquest yesterday afternoon, the negro women were re- leased from custody.
 k The preliminary hearings of the two negroes now in custody will prob- ably be held tomorrow afternoon be- fore Justice of the Peace c. c. Brew ster. In the meantime, every effort is being made to apprehend Witherspoon and the local officers hope to have him in hand by that time.
