 THRIVE DURING 1913

Optimism. based not on what they would like to have happen. but upon a careful survey of the entire situation, is the unanimous feeling of the motor car men, who have been attending the Chicago automobile sho~. They feel that the era to come will be better and bigger for the motor car industry than that which preceded the war.
 There is a note of convincing belief in the immediate prospects for the

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL HAS TWO HARD GAMES
 WITH LITTLE ROCK
Members of "Old Guard" Will Take Floor in Evening
 Contest

The two basket ball games here to- morrow night in which the high school and the "Old Stars" will figure against the Little Rock "Y" team promises to be two real games with plenty of thrills for even the most , hardened of basket ball fans. The high school will meet the Lit tie Rock team tomorrow afternoon, the game to start at 3:30 o'clock at Central high school gymnasium. AS an opener for the afternoons seance, two inter-hi teams will battle through the prelim.
 The night game promises to be even better one At that session some of the old high school stars will engage the enemy, the zero hour be- ing o'clock, bare knuckles, and the Marquis De to be cast away The bat tie will take place at Central hi gym.; side seats on sale at the door
 To Bring Old-Timers. The Little Rock lineup shows the names of a number of real spry has, beens, particularly Potts, who for some time made things miserable for various South-Atlantic centers when he jumped for Davidson. s. c. Wachter formerly Little Rock col lege man. will play forward with Craig. a former Little Rock high school artist. Potts will play center, while Bratton, former l.. R. hi, and Warren. Arkansas college alumnus, will take punishment; at guard.
 For Pine Bluff. there will be Capt. Edwin Howlel. Mccain. Toney, Sand CTS, Dansby. Samuels, Cross and Hart. All of these are past masters of the give and take kind of fight ing as. we'll as the hit and run sys- tenn.
 Good Games Promised.
 However, all of the above light chatter stuff is not intended Ito inti- mate that the game will be lacking in science. But the "ole fan" knows what scientific basket ball means, and it's more like a battle royal than pink tea. s.
 The Little Rock "Y" has played 13 games an dhas won eight The local "old stars" have played none, and won none, their future being not in the past.
 Frank Toney will referee the aft ernoon game No one has volun- teered to officiate the night session.

SH-H-H DON'T TELL 4 SOUL ABOUT THIS
 BECAUSE: --!
If the Fair Drivers Hubby Should Find Out?
 Horrors!

A pretty maid once stood in the middle of pike road and addressed a tramp thusly:
 Il am in trouble. and want help"
 The tramp was a gentleman vaga- bond with )refinement in his dur buretor. What is you~ tronble?" he asked.
 'It's chronic one,' she replied, tits a Ford" 0
 "Madam," said Sir Cnivalry, "I've never learned the Ford. but l know women and mules, and l understand they are all of the same general frame Of mind. Lead me to it."
 The above circumlocution was not put in just to start the story off, but to form a promise, which the story will prove.
 And when there is woman and a Ford in the same story that story is going to be one of either tragedy, TO- nance, or just plain trouble.
 Here then is the trouble:
 Yesterday afternoon Ford com manded by lady skipper rounded the corner at Thirteenth and Cherry on the right rear wheel and proceeded "oOuLu oII SICIly olICcI. Hc tdI Was brand new, but it was evidently ill need of a Calotab, for it's course was as dizzy as 8 heat wave.
 After waltzing from side to side, the Ford shimmied up to telephone post and stopped--With an awful crash.
 Items were: no injuries; broken lights, bent radiator, broken radius rods, and scared lady.
 After the crash, and the hundreds of gaping ones had come from mo- where, the e>lady bethought herself of some reflections.
 "Oh!" she said, "I wouldn't have this get in the paper for anything"
 A newspaper man wrote that down and grinned
 @'The only think hate about it" she continued, "is, that my husband told me not to take it out'
 Now ye scribe often has a heart, even if, as so many people who never were in the game. say, he has no brains. And though the lady's auto license was plainly visible, and though with little mental gymnastics, it could be ascertained what the lady's name was, brains he had nix, went and found out what the ladys name was-and forgot it.
 But it all goes to show that you can't tell about a Ford and woman. And tn blame crittersll alters go wrong when man says 10 em, don't. \

There would be a considerable field for employ

operations. We have the Rio Grande valley to
drain there Is the vast San Juan %irrigable area
the Pecos valley Is c. N to much more thorough
development aud the Fort sumner and other smaller

The state council Of defense, as the state council

As a matter of fact, our taxable valuations will

Of state building, using the states great power and
