TWO OUT OF THREE
FOR HEAVIER DAM

Saturday. July - Drakesboro Wis
tied Beaver Dam with as clean and
fast an aggregation of ball players
as has been to our town, and beat
as to the tune of to A. However.
Drakesboro had TO do Q innings of
real labor to carry the game home,
Beaver Dams fielding was of pretty
poor class for Monroe pitched one Of
his best games and only allowed the
visitors hits while Drakesbro was
touched for 1 1 hits.
Sunday, Beaver Dam journeyed
forth to the fields of Wildwood and
beat everything there, beat each 9TH
er to the dining table, eating, and
playing ball.
Everybody likes good meal but
HALEY Monroe likes his apple pre-
serves the best and Glenden Stevens
carried three pulley bones home with
him, Hayward Pirtle caught ice cream
likt it was a to nothing game while
Cisell picked chicken bones like he
might have been picking grounders
ON first. Reed, as usual. showed
some class when regular homemade
cake made its appearance, also dis
appearance there; Noble Taylor alias
Dave Roger cleaned his plate as well
as the bases and as for the rest of
the bunch that went along, well. /
am afraid they will never be able to .
look human beings in the face again |
when food is spoken of.
All of this happened at Wildwood !
and the game was played in the
evening, our boys put it over to the
tune of Is to IL.
Now comes the last but by no /
means the least one of the three
games. We journeyed to Grayson
on No %, and stacked up against
picked team from most all over the
country. A pitcher from Browns
Vile. a catcher from Cecilia also a
shortstep, second and third baseman
from Wildwood. an outfielder from
and two home boys. |.
Well, if we had been gamblers of
money we would have left lots of
them wondering where breakfast was ,
from for we walked their ,
frame for the old ball game to the
tune of tod and can truthfully say"
that have never seen is men work ,
any harder for any big game. .
As to pitching. it was pitchers
battle from the start and our Glen n
don walked in the box and had that f.,
picked team swinging at the air like
hey were a bunch of toys wound up.
Stevens allowed two hits and q
struck out Is men on the thirteenth v
lay of the month while his opponent v
allowed five hits and struck out 5 {
men. a
Everybody played air tight ball and 1
several OF the boys told me that c
ome one around there paid the ex- t
,enses of four of our bys, seems like 6
irayson liked our bunch pretty well, II
Doesn't it? a.4.-x To-
ANY team that happens to read this ;
nd think that they would like to take
few healthy swings at Stevens, Mon
oe or Cisell's first ball, let us know
nd we will try to accommodate every g

WAR WAS DECIDED
 ON JULY ], 1914
At the Famous Potsdam Conference, With Emperor William and Ger
 man Imperial Staff Present.

London, Feb. 13.-Some of the ac- cepted stories of the happenings of the momentous days just before the war, it is said, are shattered in book based on official documents and per- sonal notes of diplomats and officials, to be issued later
 The book characterizes as fallacy the belief that the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Sara jevo was a "stage managed affair" but it, is said from knowledge gained from official documents, that if the assassination had not occurred the war certainly would have been start ed very soon.
 The famous Potsdam conference of July 5, 1914, according to the book, was not what had been generally ac- cepted, The meeting took place but it was not formal conference as has been declared repeatedly. It is said that many persons who were sup posed to have been there were not present. Emperor William and mem bers of the German Imperial Staff were present, however, and at this conference Germany definitely decid- ed for war.

the legislative savants proceeded tc amend it. So it was made plain that there is nothing too sacred for change when it is wrong.
 Ones habitat is clearly indicated by his pronunciation of the name of the state. The loyal citizen of the state resents pronunciation that in dicates relationship with Kansas and the people of the North almost invariably pronounce it that way Our philogists sometimes find it diff ficult to explain why the "s" IS sl- lent and the "a" has the broad sound of "a" in "raw."
 , At the meeting of the National Ed itorial Association in Minneapolis n 1917, where Arkansas occupied 3 spotlight position, the question was informally discussed and Governor Brough, ex-secretary of State Earle Hodges and others agreed that the spelling should be changed to cores

HOUSE IN REQUESTING MOOD.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 14.-The House of Representatives was in an abolish ing mood yesterday.
 It began the day with tabling a bill prepared by special committee to amend the fish and game law. I'm mediately thereafter, MT. Choate of White county, called up the bill that he had introduced the second day of the session, to abolish the fish and game commission This bill was passed after a spirited debate by a vote of 57 to 21. MT. Held of Sebas- tian county gave notice that he would move to reconsider the vote by which the bill passed.
 MT. Hill of Independence started a movement to abolish public dance halls by the introduction of bill for that purpose, which was read twice
 All the afternoon session was de- voted to the Beard bill to abolish the actuarial bureau, which was finally passed by vote of 52 to 21. The fight for and against this bill was the most spirited of any that has been indulged in by the House of thls session.

Paris, Feb. 13.-The Pourgeojse. proposition for an inter-allied n7li- tary force to enforce peace was de-| feated by an overwhelming vote at the meeting of the Society of Nations Commissions today.

pond with the pronunciation. Rep- resentative John A. Riggs of Garland county was present and has since given the matter considerable thought and research. This morning he will offer the following resolution in the house; and will make plea for it's adoption:
 Changing the spelling of the name of the state to conform to the pro- nunciation.
 Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives, the senate concur ring therein:
 Whereas, notwithstanding the General Assembly has heretofore adopted a concurrent resolution de- claring the proper pronunciation of the name of our state, there continues to be confusion of practice in the pronunciation of said name, and, whereas this confusion is likely to exist so long as the present spelling of the name of the state shall be re- tained;
 Now, therefore, in order that said confusion may no longer exist and in order that the name of our beloved state may both be spelled and pro nounced correctly;
 Be It Resolved, that hereafter the name of the state shall always be spelled as it should be pronounced, that is to say A-R-K-A-N-S-A-W and that from the date of the pas sage of this resolution this shall be the only correct spelling of the name of our state.

TUCKERMAN NEWS.

The influenza has taken serious 1 turn in Tuckerman and it is probably worse than ever he-e. So many art sick that it is impossible to refer tt each one.
 Uncle Cal Biggers is very ill ant but little hope is entertained fvr>,hi recovery.
 Miss Ersula Moore, music teacher in the Tuckerman school, is quite il with influenza. Miss Moore's many music pupils are specially interested in her speedy recovery. The Baptists of our town are mak- ing progress in paying out their lot which they purchased recently They contemplate erecting a nice brick building on the new lot.
 MT. and Mrs. Hot have been quite sick from influenza, but are reported better at this writing
 Slayden Mercantile Company of i our city will soon open their new store, which will be an attractive feature of their immense business. Alfred Parrott and family are sick with influenza, but are reported bet ter now.
 Dwatt Barnes oldest son is in a critical condition, suffering from in flammatory rheumatism.
 Death again came into the home of Anderson Meeks and took from it, his daughter, Miss Ada, who was 15 years of age and lovable girl indeed. She was placed beside her mother in the Pleasant Grove cemetery, who pre- ceeded her only a few weeks ago Funeral services were conducted by s. c. Wick.
 The snow came and it went almost as suddenly as it came, but the mud seems to be a sticker Plant Irish potatoes from the 1st to the 18th of this month. Of course the planting season for Irish potatoes is much later too. It is best to plant early. and real deep. Insects do not bother the early potatoes as they do the late crops.
 It is time now to put out onion sets. If you want to grow sets, plant the seed thick, keep the grass pulled and gather the onions before they get large. You can repeat the crop at least twice, thereby making three crops of onions during the year.

special service besides, any of which may be added elsewhere. In this de. partment the number of dressings are not counted as in others, but Mrs
 Will Campbell and Miss Rowena Campbell hold the record for the num- Der of dressings made. Mrs. W. A. Billingsley, Mrs. T. J. Gregg, Mrs. Charles c. Henry, Mrs. Chas. Hipo- lite, Mrs. Gus Martin, Miss Leila Beattie were her officers of the day" to whom she looked for assist ance in getting the output when she needed them. Misses Leah Jones, Bessie Watson, Lucy Bailey, Ida Parish and Mrs. F. A. Jones and Mrs. J. E. Bevens, also Mrs. Avera were faithful and almost daily workers for weeks on a stretch, and though none of them could have put in 800 hours, Miss Hooker thinks they should have honorable mention. While others worked they were the most frequent workers.
 Mrs. White in Canteen work had no applications, but canteen workers may add their hours to others.
 The sewing rooms were open from December 8, 1917 to date, being closed temporarily by two moves and the influenza. The actual period of service covered was II months. h. dividual records of garments were kept excepting that of Working Un- it's. With the exception of Mrs. B. H. White and Mrs. F. A. Jones, no work CT gave more than an occasional whole day a week, most of the women working only one-half day each week, which if counted at five hours would give 20 month or 220 in all. Mrs. o. M. Bowen gave many whole days and missed few half days of her working unit. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. White each have other work to add to their hours: Mrs. White, canteen work; Mrs. Jones, cutting, surgical dressings and other work, including some knitting. Mrs. R. B. Hooked spent many whole days cutting, as| well as being faithful head of a| working unit. Mrs. E. B. Wilmansl Mrs. M. F. Hurley, Mrs. Harry Bran denburg, either as heads of workine] units or aids, rendered great service and all may add their hours to oth- CT work though none would have sui ', ficient hours to make the 800 in sew, ing unless reckoned on individual garments. Mrs. Jamison, Mrs. Avera, Mrs. Gus Jones and Mrs. Thomas hold speed records for output. Mrs. J. S. Graham, head of the woman's work III Tuckerman, has an enviable record for her branch in the output Tn all departments under her. Mrs. E. V. Mcdowell of Tupelo also had No. l working branch and great credit IS due Mrs. Wooley of Tupelo for donat- ing a room for the work there and for her faithful knitting. All re- ports are not in from the branches and the committee urges that they he made at once and also that all residents of Newport or elsewhere ever the county understand that they must make their claims and applica- tions before the 2Sth. It is the power of the committee to examine and re- commend applications but only the Red Cross can bestow the badges.

DCROss AWARD
 800 HOURS WORK
Application For Badges Must Be , Made to Mrs. Scarborough Be-
  .-sls- fore February 2Sth.

The committee on Awards for Spe- cal work and service to the Red Cross from April, 1917 to December, 1918 again calls attention to the fact that the time for making application, closes on the 18th and that they do not make awards except upon your own application and statement of hours, or service rendered. Perhaps 1t IS not fully understood that while these awards are made for special work in any one department, they also may be grouped. For example, a woman may have served in two or three departments total hours given in each being sufficient to en- title her to 800 hours-or she may have given 800 hours in three depart ments, in which case her service will be distinguished by an additional stripe for each 800 hours over the minimum. This would be exceptional service and either is a distinction to be proud of. The knitters have the most easily calculated. 1t was work that could be picked up" or carried about with them, and a number of our women are entitled to awards.
 Mrs. T. J. Watson heads the list in Mrs. Scarborough's department. Her service was not computed by an eight hour schedule, but was too va ried for her to count in numbers. She travelled, reknit, corrected and taught and was continually at work from May to December 1917-18.
 Mrs. M. F. Hurley not only knit, but managed a little band of knitters of her own, turning over a fine num- Der of garments each week, and gave one day each week to sewing. She has to her individual credit more than 800 hours hours iii knitting alone, be- sides her other work of 45 pairs of socks, "A sweaters, 3 pairs of wrist lets.
 Mrs. Duck, 75 pairs of socks.
 Mrs. Nugent, So pairs of socks.
 Mrs. Jernigan, 50 pairs of socks, 20 hours surgical dressings.
 Mrs. G. A. Lockard, 40 pairs of socks.
 Mrs. Hafner, 20 pairs of socks, 35 sweaters.
 Miss Lutie Mae Stephens, 35 sweaters.
 Mrs. A J. Wolf, 21 pairs of socks, z sweaters, 3 pairs wristlets, (730 hours and finishes out her 800 with her work in sewing, 160 hours, mak- ing a total of 800 hours
 Mrs. J. H. Murphy, Shoffner, 35 sweaters.
 Mrs. Lizzie Lawrence, Tuckerman, 50 pairs of socks.
 All these women are entitled to service badges and if desirous of them can send in their dollar and ap- plication to Mrs. o. W. Scarborough. While it is necessary for each winner to contribute the actual cost of the badge to the Red Cross, the organi- zation not feeling it can spend the money entrusted to it for war work, vet these badges must be won-they cannot be bought. Hence they are bigh honors and symbols of unselflsh service In the surgical Dressings Department under Miss Hooker which ran from January 8th to No vember 2Sth, Miss Hooker is the on- lv one who gave daily S-hour service, which insures her the badge, but oreat many gave several whole and balf days to this work, and some gave
