rh.+ New Gin Law Explained.

1;+tle Rock, July 30.-The new gin roculating law is embraced in the new warehouse and Marketing law. In a nutshell the law charges all public gins with public use, which means eho+ they are for public service and aro subject to regulation, the same as
 ~o;lroads and other public utilities;
 tbat they shall be licensed and bonded ot the rate of one dollar for each bale of cotton they gin; that they shall during the ginning take two samples, ,rran and seal them and endorse on
 Inc sealed package the bonded gin
 rrmber the weight of the bale, the
 name of the owner, the owner of the
 farm raised on. the name of the gin
 nor and a guarantee that the sam-
 nes are fair and true, that the cotton
 was not ginned while wet, that no
 water or other foreign substance was
 mt in the cotton for fraudulent pur-
 noses. The size of the press must be
 standard, not more than 27x54 inches,
 and not more than seven yards of
 standard bagging shall be used. A
 metal tag giving the bonded gin num-
 her and bale number must be attached to each bale, so it can always be
 traced and identified. It is a viola lion of the law to gin cotton while wet to plate a bale of cotton; to take false samples or practice any fraud in ginning or packing cotton, or to fail
 to comply with any of the require ments of the law, including the at taching of tags and taking of sam pes. When two samples are taken, one must be sent to warehouse, and the other given to the owner. If there be no warehouse the ginner may give both samples to the owner or keep one with the consent of the owner. There is no provision against the ginner taking a sample for his own l protection. The sample must not be more than one-third of a pound, and may be smaller. I have made a con- tract with the U. s. government for the cooperative assistance of two or more cotton graders for the coming season, and all cotton samples taken under this law when sent to me will
 be graded free of cost and report of l the grade will be sent to the owner
 The grading will be done by govern ment men on government standards, adopted by the cotton exchanges of
 New York, New Orleans, Atlanta,
 Memphis, Little Rock and twenty-six
 other cotton markets. Each cotton
 exchange publishes official cotton quo-
 tations on the different grades every
 day, and after your cotton is graded
 you can look up the cotton quotations
 Tn Little Rock or any other market
 and learn exactly what it is worth, be-
 cause your grade report will tell you
 exactly what you have. A survey of

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 co. EXAMINERS AUG. 16-17

Little Rock, July 31.-The annual meeting of the County Examiners and Superintendents has been called by State Superintendent J. L. Bond for Aug. 16-17, at the Department of Education. The program will 500 nbe preapred and sent out, and it is pro- posed that it shall be built around the state-adopted textbooks and the course of study. MT. Bond says:
 "It is earnestly hoped that every county superintendent and examiner will arrange without fail to attend this meeting. regret very much this department does not have at it's disposal funds with which to pay the travelling expenses of those attending this meeting, but there are no avail able funds at the~time for this pur- pose"
 Mir. Bonds thinks that on account of the recent text book adoption, this will be one of the most important meetings held in some time.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is well
kept to judge of a woman's neatness,
or good taste. If you are one of the
few who try to make the most of
your hair, remember that it is not
advisable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good preparation
made expressly for shampooing. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your druggist,
dissolve a teaspoonful in cup of bot
water. This makes ? full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. Dandruff,
excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that it will look much heav-
ier than it is. Its luster and softness
will also delight you, while the slim
ulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth.-Adv.

North End Football Team Replies to
 Letter of Rainbows' Manager.

New Britain, Conn. Oct. IS, 1917. Sporting Editor Herald:-
 We note with pride the efforts of one of this city's enterprising young football players to play the game through the columns of your paper instead of on the field. At any rate, he displays the same cleanliness of purpose in both places.
 While attempting to excuse his team for the game with the Bran ford team, he also tells us just what he thinks about us. Of course MT. Smith forgot the instance when he caught a punt and instead of run- ming down the field as he should have done, he took advantage of the crowd that was on the field and ran around them. This is only one instance of the game he plays.
 MT. Smith refers to us as "a pack of Jews who do not know how to play football We can leave this to the people who have seen us play in former years. Incidentally. 1t is not half so bad when. one does not know how to play football as it Is when one does not know how to write letter in a clear and concise man. ner. We do not mean to say that MT. Smiths letter was not a gem of liter ature, and inasmuch as it only took him a week to write this we consider it good-for him.
 In regard to the game which our friend seems to have so earnestly sought, we can only say that we tried our best to gratify him in this respect, but before the time limit which he allowed us expired, he informed us that he had intentions of playing an- other team. Now that his team is reorganized and the average is about thirty pounds higher than ours, he would like to play us. The only way in which we can answer this chal- lenge is this: If he will get the same team that he had when he played against the Branford team, we vii take the game and even cover his | weekly salary, which he announced he 1 would deposit with the sporting editor of the Herald. The Rainhows. yol
 will undoubtedly notice, are. not the first team who had an idea that the, were superior to the so-called Jew ] teams. One of these ideas ended abruptly in the famous Royal-Duhlir match a few years ago, and if thos' l "Rainbows" of the gridiron will con
 sent to our proposition, we will d. our best to attain the same resul | that our predecessors did.
 l Of course it is not for our un scholarly hand to write a criticism o
 a paper whose censorship is so loos as to let phrases like "sneaky man
 ager," yellow Jeks," etc., get int its columns. We realize that thos
 at the helm of this paper are bette
 qualified to run 1t than we realize
 However, we cannot see it.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 IMPROVING DAILY
Coach BearCe InStillS Plenty of
 Life Into Football Eleven

Three weeks prior to the most inn portant game on the New Britain High school football schedule, finds the 1917 eleven fast rounding into shape to repeat the victories or years past over their bitterest rivals, Hart ford High school, and when these two elevens clash on St. Mary's play grounds gridiron, November lO, the followers of the locals may feel as- sured that the eleven is one that Will fight every inch of the ground to cop the honors. The writer visited wal nut Hill park last evening ana watched Coach Bearce send his charges through two hours or hard work. From the arrival on the grounds until time was called ending the practice, the squad worked faith fully, and gave every indication of prof1tins by the excellent teaching of this years tutor. Coach Bearce goes about his work in systematic man. ner, and careful attention is given each and every player in the funda- mentals of the game. The new foot ball mentor looks like the best that the school has had in several years.
 Headed by Captain McCristy, the eleven is one of the heaviest that has
 
 years. Although the greater part of the team is playing their first year as regulars, there was enough of last years team left this season to form an excellent nucleus. Captain Me- Cristy, who proved star in 1916, will be seen at his best this year. The duties of leadership do not seem to have affected the stocky boys work,
 FTho Soinfi11o of Lo team, however, is Hubbard, star end of the 1915 and 1916 champions, who will be found in a new position this year, as quarter. The same speed and dash of other seasons is evident in Hibbard's work, and with the ex- perience of past seasons, his handling of the eleven should be a strong factor. In last Saturdays game with Waterbury, Hubbard proved that run ming with the ball he Is an elusive player to catch, having the knack of lodging and wriggling that has brought game to other stars of the gridiron.
 Hagearty and Johnson the other backfield men are showing up strong on practice. Hagearty is big DOW erful youth whose plunging should prove a factor for the locals, while Johnson's speed is his strong point. The latter player is very adept with the forward pass, and his experience with last seasons champions stands in his favor this year.
 In the line big powerful young sters will be found, with Williams easily the star. Williams towers above the other players in height and weight and can be assured on to make life miserable for his Hartford oppo- nents Doerr Waters and Sexton are also big players who have displayed much pep in the practice games to date. Kalen at center, looks like a worthy successor to Bradley of last years team. He is somewhat light but has the necessary fight to make him worthy guardian of the pivot position. Doerr, new lineman is experiencing his first year in football

the runner should be chased toward third, not toward the plate. That is why I censure Zimmerman.
 Nevertheless some one should have covered the plate. I do not think Rariden was the man. After the play got past him he could hardly be expected to turn his back and dash to the plate. It is doubtful if he could hardly have moved any faster than Collins.
 What makes champions? Is it not the ability to be at the right place at the right time, the instinct which enables a player to sense things? The Giants were lacking in this baseball sense when the pinch came. That's why they lost'

 That Winter Sport Is Abandoned.

 "The undergraduate body is too much occupied with war;" is the reason given by MT. Moore for abol- ishing the sport. Not a single hockey letter man remains at Harvard.
