NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION
In the District Court, County Of Quay
The Dermott news. (Dermott, Ark.) 1910-1977, 1917-09-27
Notice to Subscribers.

Beginning Oct lst, it is the intention
of the Dermott News to put our sub
scription list on strictly paid-in- ad-
vance basis. Ever since we have been
in Dermott, goodly per cent of our
subscribers have been paying at the
end of the year for the year subscrip-
ton which they have already received.
Now, in a great many cases this is a
perfectly satisfactory arrangement,
but in numerous other instances we
send the paper for year and at the
end of the time the subscriber either
forgets that the paper was ordered,
thinks the bill was paid in advance, or
in some other way leaves Us holding
the bag. 1t is impossible to make
exceptions to 4 rule of this kind and so.
because of the losses we have sustained
in the past on subscription accounts
that were allowed to run year behind,
we have decided TO make an iron-clad
rule that ALL subscriptions must be
paid in advance. This may seem lit
tie unfair to those who have been in
arrears. and have just paid up. as they
will now have to pay a year ahead if
they continue to receive the paper. but
we are sure the paid in advance plan
will ultimately prove the most salts
factory to all concerned

NATIONAL COMMISSION ACTS.
Rebukes Minor Leagues for Legislat
ing Against Veteran Players.

CINCINNATI. January 9.-The ma
tional commission has overruled the
National Association. which governs
minor league base ball. and decided that
no minor league could place any re-
strictions on the number of men from
higher class leagues who could be en-
ployed by any club. Minor leagues
have been establishing such limitations.
The decision was made in the case of
the Muscatine club of the Central As
ISOLATION.
At New Orleans the minor leagues
adopted a resolution rebuking the Mus
catine club Of the Central Association
for trying to win the pennant by the
use of such unfair and unsportsman .
like methods" as employing more than
f1ve veteran players. The Central AS
sociation in 1915 adopted a resolution
prohibiting any club from employing
more than five veteran players.
The commission regrets to intervene
in the matter. but finds the National
Associations resolution was clearly a
violation of the national agreement. and
held that the only test that should be
applied to a minor league player was
his willingness to play for a salary
within the prescribed limits Of the club
desiring his services"

Three local colleges take part IN
haskell ball games tomorrow. Catholic
University goes to Annapolis to meet
the Navy. and Gallaudet appears
against Georgetown on the Hilltop. Ihe
Brooklanders and Kendall Greeners
have difficult struggles in prospect, as
neither has shown as good form as the
teams against which they will play.
If Catholic University had all it's men
eligible it would stand chance 10

best PLAYERS out because of scholastic
restrictions the odds are heaVilS
against it. In fact. if the Brooklanders
were Just as strong as the Sailors, they
would still be at a disadvantage be-
cause of the strange floor on which the
game will be played. Also. the court at

The Kendall Greeners are to start the
game with a considerably changed line
