FATE OF AMENDMENTS
 IS STILL DOUBTFUL

Little Rock, Nov 4.-On account of the slow returns from Tuesdays election, it will probably be several days before any definite figures will be known on the amendments and the actual votes for the various candidates. It appears, however, that the amend ments are winning, although it cannot be known definitely until the final figures are in, since each amendment must have majority of the total vote cast at the election, to be adopted. On the face of returns already re- ceived, all three amendments are lead ing and the only question appears to be whether they will be able to main tain a sufficient lead to meet the con- stitutional majority.

TOWN FARM PRODUCES
 $500 ON 1 3-4 ACRES

How plot of ground 300x300 feet, on which was also located his buildings and large lawn, was made to produce about $500 worth of crops was told to the Log Cabin Democrat today by J. II. Berry who lives in this city just north of Hendrix College. The DOT ,tion of the ground in cultivation amounts to approximately 3-4 acres, MT. Berry said. On three-quarters of an acre he sowed oats early in the spring and after harvesting five loads he planted Irish potatoes. Of the latter he has gathered 151 bushels. The remaining one acre was planted In sweet potatoes, producing exactly 400 bushels of good potatoes. The oats MT. Berry valued at $75, the Irish potatoes at $500 and the sweet potatoes at least $400, making a total of nearly $S0O
 The land on which these crops were grown MT. Berry says, was not specially fertile and the same results could be shown on almost any lot in Conway. He used no fertilizer for the sweet potatoes, but applied 300 pounds for the Irish potatoes, and selected the best available seed.

INJURIES WEAKEN
 HENDRIX ELEVEN

A few regulars and many substi- tutes will comprise the gridiron az gregation which Coach Woody will be forced to send against Henderson Brown in the annual Bulldog -Reddy clash at Philadelphia tomorrow. It was said that the Hendrix mentor will be lucky to get as many as five of his mainstays into action in any sort of playing condition, and the regulars intact after the schedule thhi3 far will be even fewer in number. Coach Woody will take his squad to Arka- delphia tonight. Henderson Brown fans are on the edge and set for a gala occasion should the Reddies re- verse the goodly drubbings the locals have administered during the last few years.
 Herring is one of the regulars who will be out of it. He hoped to play in Austin College game, but was fore ed to have surgical attention as soon as the squad reached town. An in- cision was made in his leg to reduce a swelling from an injury. Parker is perhaps the best bet of the Dogs in the game. He will boss the team as quarter, and his playing so far has stamped him as the real find of the year.
