FACULTY MEMBERS TO
 PLAY HIGH STUDENTS
Basket Ball Game Friday Evening to Raise Funds t0 Send Team to
 State Tournament.

As 8 means of raising funds to take the Zebra basket ball team to the state tournament, Coach Bassett has arranged for a basket ball game for next Friday night at the Y. M. C. A between the faculty of the high school and the second team. This, no doubt will attract a large crowd.
 The profs. are not in the best of condition for shooting goals, but they are long -winded and can run a good race. The students are excited ovel the coming contest, and it is expected that standing room will be at a pre- mium.
 It has been a long time since the members of the faculty have taken 8 part in the athletic stunts, and some of them arc sort of stiff at the joints but Coach Bassett will have plenty o1 arnica and witch hazel on hand tt rub out the sore spots as they de velop.
 The line up of the faculty team has not been definitely decided upon, bu it is an assured fact that they vii put out their best team. The secono team will put in some extra practice this week, getting ready for the com, ing fray.

START CAMPAIGN WIPE OUT CARR
 CHURCH DEBT
This Methodist Congrega tion Unique in That, Elk cept One, Every Mem
 Der a Wage-Earner.

In the effort to wipe out balance of something approximating $500 on the indebtedness which has been a burden to the congregation since the erection of the handsome little church building about 10 years ago, the pas tor and members of the board of stewards of the Carr Memorial Metho- dist church will, tomorrow, make a canvass of the people of Pine Bluff for contributions, their action having already received the approval of the presiding elder of this district and the pastors of all the other Methodist church of the city.
 The Carr Memorial church has ever been one of the active religious or genization:i of East Pine Bluff. 1t has not large congregation, but the membership of the church is faithful, willing and presevering. It is Of in- terest now that the church is asking for aid to remove the debt, to know that only one member of the congre- gation is in business for himself, every other member being of the working class. Not more than 9 per cent of the members of the congrega- ton own their homes, but are living in rented houses. It can easily be understood, therefore. that individual 1y the members of the congregation can do little more for the church financially than they have done in the past. They have kept up their church work with hearty good will. however, and on that account they have won the friendship of all those who kno" the burden under which they have labored.
 The pastor, Rev. l.. w. Evans. an enthusia stic and indefatigable worker' announced last night that on Thurs day the canvass will be made for the sum of about $500. MT. Evans ano one of the stewards will take route through the city. and two other mem bers of the board of stewards ,slll. VIII have another route to covers sQAa assesif's of the needed amount has already been pledged, providing the remainder is raised and the church officers ana pa stor aye confident the people of Pine Bluff will help them and cooperate with them in their effort to wipe out the debt.

NINE JUROR VERDICT
 LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Assistant '. s. Attorney Rector and Chancellor Elliott Hold Same
 View on Statute.

That the nine-juror verdict act recently passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Trough is un- constitutional, is the opinion of Henry Rector, assistant United States dis trict attorney.
 MT. Rector says it has frequently been held by the supreme court of the United States tha: statutes au- thorizing verdicts not concurred in by all the jurors are unconstitutional and void. MT. Rector says the gen- eral assembly should take steps to repeal the new law immediately, Fl order to prevent the possible injustice of forcing a poor man 70 bear the ex- pense and delay incident to an appeal to the supreme court.
 Should trial judge hold the act valid and permit a verdict on which only nine jurors agreed, an appeal would mean reversal and the neces :. sity of new trial
 Mir. Rector says he favors the prin- ciple invoked by the new legislature, but that it must be embodied in the new state constitution before provis- ion for majority verdicts can be made in conformity to the constitution of the United States-Little Rock Demo- crat

GERMANS ADOPTS
 YANKEE METHODS

Correspondence Associated Press)
 Dusseldorf, Germany, Feb. 3.-Pro- lessor Roth of GreifsWald gives an ac- count of some of the accomplishments of German science since the war i'll the Dusseldorf General Anzeiger. He gives first place to the "Americaniza- ton" of German industrial processes by the application of American eff ciency methods. He says in part:
 "In the first place, Germany has learned in this war to make use of her water power for the production of electricity. This has been neces- sary for purposes of coal economy This use of water power has power fully contributed to the saving of hu- man labor, with the result that Ger many can now produce electrical energy almost as cheaply as the coun- tries possessing an unlimited supply of water power. Numerous industrial concerns have undergone process of mOderniZatiOn or AmericanizatiOn, which secures to them still greater advantages than before, especially over backward France"
 A description of the expansion and renovation of the iron and steel in- dustry, especially in the production of the finer types of metals, follows, and mention is made of the discovery of surprising substitutes for copper, which Germany has been lacking. In the field of chemistry. he adds. rapid advances have been made from the Laboratory to the manufacturing stage in the synethetic production of inn portant organic compounds. as well as of such war material as rubber and explosives.
 Above all, the chemical conquest of the air for agriculture has made great progress" he says. '"The busi- ness Of extracting nitrogen rom the atmosphere has been so< succes ssful that in 1917 the government will be able to dispose of five million tons oi nitrous manure, which is four times the amount needed in peace time. The equally difficult problem of the pro l duction of glycerine, toluoi, benzol surphuric acid, has also been solved
