SAFE LEAD ON OUACHITA
State Normal Third in Standing De
spite Recent Defeats-Four
Games Yet Remain.
A. A. Standing.

The Hendrix College Bulldogs are
champions in the collegiate division
of baseball in the Arkansas Athletic
Association this season, although they
still have four games to play before
the season is over. AS the teams now
stand, the Bulldogs have an average
of .S57. Next week they play the
Normal team four games, and should
they win all four of these games, their
percentage VII swell to 1888, or .245
points above their nearest rival,
Ouachita College. On the other hand
should the Bulldogs lose all four of
the games. their percentage will be
.666, St.! IS points above the Tigers.
To date the Bulldogs have played
every team il the association with the
exception Of the Russellville Aggies
and the JoneSboro Aggies. A total
of a games with y to their credit is
the record thus far
The games last week with the Lit
tie Rock College team brought the
Normal Pedagogues down in percen-
tages but they still retain their place
In third position with a percentage of
+ 400. Before the Henderson Brown
and Little Rock College series, the
Pedagogues had hopes of crowding the
chesty Tigers out of second place, but
one game to the Reddies and two to
the Catholics punctured this hope.
The Hendrix Bulldogs VII leave
Thursday morning for Fayetteville
where they will play two game series
with the Arkansas Razor5acks Friday
and Saturday. The Razorbacks took
couple of games from the Hendrix
clan earlier in the season, but since
that time, Coach Bill Headrick has
brought two new pitchers to the front
in Clyde Mcdonald and William White,
and the Bulldogs are going prepared
to bring home the bacon The fol
lowing week, the -four game series
with the Pedagogues will be staged
The Pedagogues Saturday afternoon
/ lounged through s to defeat at
the hands of the Little Rock College
bunch. The Pedagogues seemed to be
without life and Il errors assisted in
the defeat. Larry, pitching for the
local team, seemed to lack interest in
the affair and several of the players
seemed to follow suit. A DRILLING
rain throughout three-quarters of the
game added discomfort to the specta-
tors.
Fletcher, pitching for the Catholics
had good support, although he was
touched for total of six hits. The
two runs put across by the Pedagogues
were earned, while the Catholics runs
were donations. One run was pushed
across on hit, but the runner had pre-
viously reached first on an error. The
other five runs were made through
errors.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

THE only thing that hear against

have uo pastures and therefore no
place for their cows and hogs. but
tb.s isn't true Landlords would be
forced TO build pastures or go with
eut competent men on their places.
Then t would bee cheaper for the land

Fsment against II.

MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY
Development Of Industry In That
Country Makes il Second Only

The production Of motion pictures,
says the United States commerce re-
pert, is an industry for which physi-
cal conditions in Italy and the Italian
temperament are peculiarly favorable.
and consequently this branch of activi-
ty early attained high degree Of de-
velopment. Italy now claims to rank
second to the United States among
the nations of the world In the manu-
featuring of motion pictures. An idea
Of the Importance of this industry In
the economic life of the country can
be derived from the fact that the work.
Ing capital employed Is now estimated
at 3OO,OO0,0OO lire and the actual capt.
tai invested at 1O0,O0O.OO0 lire. There
are eighty-two companies engaged In
the production of films. Of which the
greater number are located at Rome.
which naturally presents unusual ad-
vantages from the scenic standpoint.
The annual production of new films
In Italy has reached 100000 meters,
and II 1t is estimated that forty copies
are made from each negative the total
Of printed films is 64,OOO,OOO meters.

Norfolk-Suffolk (Eng) borders, recalls
what is probably the oldest and most
enduring industry in the world-fiint

At Brandon the first flint work,,o
industry has been carried on for sew

OF workers Is still making gun fllpts
there and exporting them to savage
tribes In Northern and Central Afr,ca
IT Is said that these workmen are

had accumulated for over a century.

I'VE turned our attention to the big
old male seals. which were supposed
to be SO rough and torn and marked
by fighting as to be no use, and we
found that these could be made into
very fne skins. A single one of these
skins Is big enough for an automobile
coat. They don't sell for anything in
London, but at our sales in 1919 they
sold high above the prices for the
small skins. All that Is clear gain, be-
cause the skins of these old bulls were
supposed to be dead loss. Further.

the number of males is very much
larger than Is needed for the normal

In these processes. In its original con-
dition the sealskin looks nothing like
the fur you see in the market. The
skin Is yellowish gray with an outer
layer Of what are called guard hairs.
The actual fur lies within the guard
hairs and close to the skin, and on
the removal of the guard hairs looks
ike rather curly. soft, silky wool,
light brown In color. The process con-
sists 10 removing the hairs without In
jury to the fur that lies beneath, in
the tanning and dressing of the skim
the dyeing Of the fur. and finishing 1t
by machining process. There are
100 separate operations on the skin
before II reaches what we know MS
seal furs, and the process takes about
three months.
I'm the United States there was
nothing adequate of the kind. We
arranged for the establishment of
Undressing, dyeing and finishing In
dustry which should be the equal Of
anything In the world. We made this
arrangement with contractor, who
established factory in st. Louis. 1t
employs something over 300 hands,
and Is the largest establishment Of Its
kind on earth and gives us the
finest product in the world. During
the last year Of the closed season,
with the limited amount of furs we
| were able to obtain from the natives
and which we sent to ST. Louis, the
factory was able to get Its hand In for
the larger business TINT was to follow
and train Its men for handling the
processes on larger scale. A number
Of experts from Great Britain volun-
tarily came over and took part In the
organization of the factory and the
training Of the hands.
",Then In 1918 we renewed the COM
mercial killing of seals. The quota was
fixed at $4,000 and we took 34,SS3
seals. Nm the next year, 1919. the
quota was $4,000. and the total num-
Der at the end of August. practically
the close of the season, was 1881.
1.-THE result has been an immense
saving to our government in the cost
Of handling its product. and a very
much greater return to the govern
ment In the shape of profit"
Here Mr.. Redhed illustrated his
point by giving the figures Of single
sale held Oct. I, 1918. The number of
skins sold was 12,002. The gross pro.
ceeds were S777.931: the expenses, in.
Guiding cost Of preparation Of skins.

discount for cash, etc. aggregated
$233, 1882. Thus the net proceeds on
this single sale of l2.002 sealskins
were 1914, T35.7S. At this same auc.
tion the government contractor sold
fox skins numbering 600 blue and 10
