that another change from old methods IS necessary at the same time. When cotton Is spaced far apart, 1t is thln- ned early. W hen close spacng IS adopted, the thinning must 0e delayeu unul comparatively late n the season. If the thinning IS done early, vege,a- tive branches are likely to appear even when the plants are thIck m the rows, thus otfsettng such advantages as might be gained. It is not possible to fix any definite time at wh ch thinning should be done, but it is safe to say that the plants should be from six to twelve inches high instead of from two to four inches high, as has been customary in the past. Persons who, either by design or because they are unable to get labor for thinning work earlier, postpone their thinning until late Tn the season should adopt the slngle-stalk, close-spacing system. If, late in the season, they chop out the cotton to conform with the old d-time standard, they run the risk of greatly reducing their yields"

SAYS RECORD FAULTY,
 DEED BE SET ASIDE

Legality and completeness of the record of the delinquent tax sale of 1898 is attacked in the suit brought by Abner Thompson to regain posses sion of land sold at that time. The plaintiff ayers that he homesteaded the land in question on March II, 1890, and that it was sold at the sale of de- linquent property on June 12, 1899, be- ing bought by B. F. Stermer and af- terwards transferred to II. B. Lea, and J. P. Thines. A deed was issued by the county court to MT. Thines on June 13, 1901. MT, Thines later sold the property to Frank Menten, who in turn sold it to J. B. Morris, who is named as defendant in the present ac- tion.
 The plaintiff ayers that the county court deed is void for the reason the 7elinoucnt lst of 1898 was not entered in the clerks book prior to the day of sale, and that proof of publication was not filed with the clerk before June 12, 1899 It is also alleged that the collectors affidavit was not shown on the list until after the day of sale. The plaintiff asserts that $95 has been paid in taxes since he lost the prop erty, and this amount is rendered in exchange for a decree restoring it to him.
 Suit was brought by w. W, Moore against VII Stuart and others on a note for $450 given March 10 and ad- vanced at various times totaling $527 20, all secured by mortgages on certain chattels. Foreclosure of the mortgage is petitioned, the plaintiff also asking the court to hold it su- perior to other encumbrances on the same property.

it out with Hendrix for state honors. If the Tigers and Aggies are willing, they can get a guarantee for such a game to be played on Russell field.
 Another Ouachita error which should be nailed in justice to Eighth Joe" Coleman is the Tiger claim that Neil Cargile, raw recruit, blocked the Hendrix star on the play which sent Wallis over with the touchdown made against Hendrix. Eleven or more Bulldogs and detachment of emphatic spectators know the means Cargile employed to check the Hen drix captain, and it was another piece of Tiger luck that it escaped the eye of the officials. Cargile is being touted as an ace against Little Rock College at Little Rock tomorrow Coach Scotts men may not treat the Youthful Tiger as considerably as did the Hendrix team.

DISPUTES FAULKNER
 BOYS COTTON GROWN

We have with us this morning MT. George Washington Carpenter, aged 9, candidate for the flywelght cotton picking championship of the great state of Arkansas and that unimpor- tant elsewhere known as the remain der of the world.
 Some time ago the Gazette report ed the feat of an 8-year-old Faulkner county boy who picked Ill pounds of cotton in one day. The publication of this brought letter from w. A. Ingram of Higdon telling of the cot ton picking feats of his two children, boy 6 years old and girl years old. The boy picked 108 pounds of cotton in one day and his sister picked 116 pounds that day.
 Then another candidate from Faulk- ner county was developed in the per son of Marie Taylor, who weighs only 39 pounds and who picked 139 pounds of cotton in one day.
 Now comes G. Washington Carpen- ter, who shows he has endurance as well as speed. He averaged 127 pounds per day for two weeks in suc- cession and on the Monday following the two weeks he picked 147 pounds.
 Any contender for the title can get a match at 110 pounds weight at the field side at 6 a. m. on the morning of the battle.-Arkansas Gazette.

BULLDOGS TO PLAY
 ARkANSASC0LLECE TIGERS OFFER NOT FAIR
Fans Say Let Ouachita Play Aggies
 and Winner Then Meet Hendrix for Honors.

The Arkansas College Lambs of Batesville will make their first 1920 visit to Conway on Tuesday, Novem' Der 23, for what in all probability will be the closing game of the local sea son. Coach Woody of Hendrix book, ed the game for the Dogs to occupy the final week of the regular season Until chances for post season clash become more certain, the Dogs will step out of harness after the game In their place, a host of followers will z. up for the usual exchange of yer bal passes with Ouachita. This year Russellville Aggles have shown a dis position to "horn in' and make the exchange triangular one.
 Coach Morley Jennings suggestion that Hendrix meet the Ru seIlyille Aggies with the agreement that Ouachita would meet the winner in a post season game that would decide the state championship, failed to arouse any enthusiasm in the local camp. His offer is taken as one of Ouachita usual newspaper tirades for the purpose of securing the ad- vantage over all opponents. This time, it would give the Tigers long rest and then would pit them, fresh and uninjured, against either Hen drix or Russellville in whatever shape they may survive such a hard scrap as the Bulldog Farmer game would undoubtedly be. Compared with the stiff games which the Bulldogs have played all season, the Ouachita clan has pottered around, with Mississippi College and Hendrix as the only op- position of the Tigers class to be met this year. Compared with this, Hen drix has survived schedule which in cluded University of Arkansas, Camp Pike, Ouachita, Aggies and Tender son-Brown, no one of which has been an easy game.
 If gridiron honors are to be decided by two more games, why not Ouachita meet the Aggies and then send the winner against Hendrix? The Bull dogs already have played the Aggies, which is more than Ouachita has done It is we'll established fact that the Aggies wanted to meet the Baptists, who had two full weeks in which to take on the game, but Jennings prob ably preferred to rest his jungle braves for the hard game against Hendrix. Since the Arkadelphians passed up that opportunity, in all likelihood they will do so again, an in- tention seen in the kind suggestion that Hendrix undergo another scrap ith the Farmers.
 No official expression has been made at Hendrix in regard to the sug- gestion of Coach Jennings. However, it is not probable it will be seriously considered. The Ouachita mentor can gain an audience by agreeing to meet the Aggies on any field acceptable to both elevens, with the winner to fight

According to Conrad Buchholx OF
near Barada, Neb., there's something
to this shipping by truck.
Mr.. Buchholz may be seen almost
any day on the streets Of Falls City
and always nearby you will find his
truck. He hasn't even found it nee
essary to take his touring car out of
the garage since along in November.
Mr.. Buchholz purchased his M-ton
REQ truck Of the Duan Motor COM
pany in July. Since that time he
has hauled loads of every size and
description, even loads weighing as
much as $500 pounds. Three thou
sand pounds is his average load. In
tie eix months this truck has been
in oprration it has been driven 5000
miles, and has never been out of use
. single days owing to any mechani-
czfsdliculties, and has hauled 500
loads, the owner says.
Unless the roads are extremely
muddy the truck averages II miles to
the gallon of gasoline. Mr.. Buch-
holz says his average speed is from
Is to s. miles per hour.
As he keeps book of expenses,
as well as record of what the truck
makes him. he is in a position to
state that mot only has the truck
fully paid for itself, but it runs as
good and as smoothly as the first
day it was put in operation"

CAREFUL DRIVER
LET'S HIS MOTOR
ACT AS BRAKE
Just Because Brakes Are
Dependable a Large Num-
ber of Autoists Over
Use Them.

Not so many years ago public
opinion declared a man good
driver when he could speed up to a
point, jam on the brakes and bring
the car to stop in a very short
distance. In fact, this sort of "brak-
ing power" was supposed to be a
test as to the worth of an automo-
bile.
This idea of good driving still
prevails to some extent" says E. T..
Strong, general sales manager of
the Buick Motor company.
But in the words of people whose
judgments are generally accepted as
true by those we call sensible, a
good driver is one who has his car
under control at all times. He is
cautious in whatever he does that he
may not endanger the safety of pc
destrians, other motorists. or his
owl, car.
"A man who drives with his
brakes is not good driver. This
may seem like strong statement,
but an analysis will clear up any
doubts in this regard.
Why Cars Have Brakes.
Every automobile manufacturer
realizes that it is just as important
to stop car as it is to start, it.
With the average driver, brakes re-
ceive more wear than any other part
of the car. And for this reason en-
gineers pay a great deal of attention
to the designs and materials in
brakes.
Successful car manufacturers
have worked out the proper friction
area and the correct lining material
to insure positive action.
Because they are efficient. how
ever, the average driver gets into
the habit of bringing his car to a
dead stop with them nine times out
of 10. Because convenient, he sub
iects his service brakes to unnec-
essary wear and abuse. If the fric-
ton surfaces were twice the ap-
proved size, he would want to stop
in half the ordinary distance.
"And, because his brakes are us
ually dependable, he trusts them to
answer his call in rounding corners,
crossing streets, passing other cars
or approaching railroad crossings.
He is simply driving the car with
his brakes.
"He does not have his car under
control at all times. He imperils
pedestrians. He tries to hold his
cars on hills wholly with his brakes
He ruins his tires and often causes
damage to many Of the working
parts of his car.
What Is the Answerl
= "Our constructive criticism Is this:
secure all the assistance possible
from your motor as brake in bring
ing the car to stop or in going
down hills.
1T is just as logical for the motor
to stop a motor car as to propel 1t.
In one case, with the throttle open,
the explosive power within the cyl
inders is used to drive the rear
wheels; in the other case, with the
throttle closed, the compression OF
fers resistance against the pistons
which carried through the transmits
sion retards the movement of the
wheels.
"The driver who uses his motor in
this manner will call on his brakes
less than one quarter as often as the
driver who depends on his brakes
entirely. He will drive easier and
skid less"

In the use of electric vulcanizing
apparatus it should be remembered
that if the connecting rod gets warm
it indicates a short circuit in front
Of the heating unit. The, pressure
should not be removed until the
rubber gets cold if you desire the
maximum adhesion. Asbestos paper
