BASE BALL NOTES
BASEBALL GAME FRIDAY
Carlisle 8; Devalls Bluff

The Carlisle Baseball team went over to Devalls Bluff again last We'd nesday and successfully defeated the locals by alarge score of to l, which was the last of a four game series played between the two teams, the home boys won three and lost one. The Bluff team and their home fans felt rather confident of winning this game and evening up the series but soon after the words 'play ball, all their hopes were shattered for our boys started right off in the first inn ing by scoring two runs off Sims de- livery and soon after paved the way to an easy victory. Barrentine, the new addition, and Neil formed the battery for Carlisle while Sims and Hare worked for the locals. Barren tine pitched wonderful game of ball and truly deserved shut-out.
 The opponents were unable to con meet often and would not have scored but for an error by the infeid in the seventh. He demonstrated his value to the team and played his usual good game throughout and looks like real Baseball Star.
 The home team will go to Stuttgart Thursday where they meet the much talked-about salaried team of that city and while such team is supposed to be entirely out of our class it's a sure thing that we'll give them action and that hey will have to play base ball to defeat our boys. The baseball team is working hard and is making a great show and before the season closes, unless we miss our guess, there are a number of towns throughout the stete that will bs ceael,c1 t take notice that Carlisle is really on the map. Let's all turn out and be with them.

NEW OUTBREAK OF QUAIL DI.
 SEASE

A Federal regulation recently in voked to prohibit irnportations= of live quail from Mexico into the United States, excepting from November 15 to April 10, inclusive, calls attention to new outbreak of the 'squail di- sease." This is a highly contagious and rapidly fatal .s1l..secec.z-a sr-,l.;~h ep pears among quail in America from time to time, and it has recently devel- oped in a shipment of bob whites re- ceived from Mexico. Several of the birds are under observation at the Division of Pathology, United States Department of Agriculture, in the hope that preventive means may be found to protect the birds.
 The disease was recognized in 1906. It was found that the quail suffered from virulent intestinal disorder caused by the development of bacillus coll, an organism always present in the birds system. The plague is close ly akin to the grouse disease" which at irregular intervals ravages Euro pean covers, and is of such abrupt naz ture that it is difficult for pathologists to make satisfactory observations
 It is believed that it occurs most frequently where the birds are living under unusual conditions in confined spaces or crowded areas. This belief is based on the knowledge that birds from Mexico for import into the Uni ted States are visited by a plague. The larger part of our live quail stock comes to us from across the border. These shipments are held in quaran- tine for period. It is during this quarantine period, while the quail are kept in cages or pens, that the disease usually manifests itself. A flock which seems perfectly well at night will have several dead by morning.
 The Department of Agriculture recommends that shipping crates and boxes be of some light material of cheap construction so that they may be burned as soon as the quail are freed.

 If the Democratic party would rid itself of such stumbling blocks as w. J. Bryan it might hope to win in the coming presidential campaign, but if it allows him to dictate any part of the platform it will be hope lessly defeated. The people have no confidence in Bryan as they have shown by the way they have turned him down in the past. MT. Bryan is not democrat and never was. He is simply for Bryan, and to hell with anything that is not for Bryan. He will go to the National Convention and raise rumpus, but the democrats should beware of anything he tries to put over It will bring defeat and nothing but defeat.

Cooperative Farming Successful

During the first 100 days of 1920, 68 cooperative carloads of hogs were shipped from 22 Arkansas counties. The 6,480 hogs in the cars were own ed by FOO different farmers, or an average of more than 10 shippers to each carload. ~ Returns totaling $127,- 590.52 were received for those hogs at the central markets. The average cost of shipping was only -94.3 cents per hundredweight. The amount made above the highest price offered locally, where there was a local mar ket, amounted to $260 per car, or a total saving of more han SIT ,500 on all shipments.
 The season for shipping Arkansas cattle has not started; but in 1919 cattle shipments from that State ex- ceeded the cooperative shipments of hogs, and indications this year are that almost ali the Arkansas cattle will be shipped co-operatively.
 The cooperative shipping of live stock by the method advocated by the United States Department of Agri- culture has been found practicable and profitable in all sections of the coun- try where live stock is produced in connection with general or specialized systems of farming.

The Trail of the Lonesome
 Pine" at the Jefferson

Lolise Price, as June Tolliver, had fair success at the Jefferson theatre last nigh. with one of the most difficult roles on the American stage.
 The Trail. of the Lonesome Fine' is m it's sixth season, and made it's annual perigrenation to Birmingham, where q small audience greeted it.
 With all but two parts in dialect and that dialect unknown save in it's own country, the portrayers of the parts have no little difficulty in holding their melo- drama to the trail and keeping it out of the realms ot impromptu comedy.
 But with earnest support Miss Price managed to put no little human interest into the part and at times she drew ap- plause for her work.
 J. r. Malloy made a very Acceptable Cal and as the comedian drew his share Of the appreciation the audience rendered.
 But r2ost of the way the players wers walking on thn ice. An unnecessarily heavy step here or there would hava crashed them through from the realm of drama to the grotesqne

B. A. [. CAGE TEAM .SWAMPS VISITING
 MONTGOMERY TEAM
Clubbers Register a 34 to 7 Victory Over Their Op- pOnents-Walk-
 Away

Goa eh Hutsel's clubbers have at last hit their stride and the unlucky Mont gomery 'Y' team was tramped upon and completely pulverized last night at the hands of tie B. A. c. basket tossers The lcoal team moved and plowed it's way through the slight resistance of ehe visitors, and registered 34 to victory
 There were To particular stars for the B. A C. team, each man playing a game extraordinary, and performing in stellar fashion. McGoWan was injured in the first few minutes of play, but in the time during which he was in the game he played a splendid game. Bill Moughon. his running mate, seems to have gotten under full steam. and last night was at his best He scored II of the clubs 34 points. Bill played splendid game.
 Tinx Gillian and Clem. Laughlinhouse, guards, were gong like house afire, and easily cut down the efforts of the Mont gomery forwards. Gillian was in every play, while Laughlinhouse broke up many a prospective play for goal by leaping into the air and intercepting the pass of one of his opponents. These two guards were decided factor in the victory of the cluo.
 Gillie Chisholm, playing center in place of Baker, who IS out of the game, easily held up his end of the job. Although his man beat him to the jump frequently Chisholm was a side light by his splendid defensive work cnd his aggressiveness.
 Sotok, Levy and Montgomery suosa- tuts forwards, were going good tnehi- selves. and between them scored F points for the club. Beggs and Lambeth, Tor Killian and Laughfnhouse, demonstrated the fact that they have the makinSs or first class qua. ds.
 For Montgomery Hall and MSGauiy played best, although they showed up poorly against the aggressive Ciuboers. Jones' Halman and Clements at times showed flashes of brilliance against the B. A. C., but in the main could do lit tie to stem the onflowing tide. It was just a case of one team completely out chasing the other It must be admitted, however, that the Montgomery men mad a littl. hard luck on some of their shots, the bali absolutely refusing to drop in the basket when tossed there

ELSIE JANIS HAS WONDERFUL ROLE IN "A REGULAR GIRL"
 NOW SHOWING AT ALCAZAR

If you could just see Miss Janis, flopped flat on her back riding the nut house floor at Coney Island, you'd die laughing. Miss Jenis is cast as 3 daughter of very rich family, and they think she is off attending a lee ture or something polite like that, and she is really showing a bunch of lads she met and learned to love overseas. They pool their finances. and start for a night at Coney And believe me, what it takes to be real little sport Elsie owns by the carload.
 The film, "A Regular Girl is the best chance Miss Janis has ever had to screen her real personality. She puts the dash into the picture that won her a wide following on the regular stage. She is spontaneous, ioy-seeked and giver. She is an embodiment of youth, and. above all, Just a Regular Girl
 They tell a little stunt that she pulled overseas She was one war worker who really carried her cheer- ing act right up to the firing line And one day she came to call on a bunch of artillery boys. She wanted to shoot cannon. What Elsie wants. she gets. She shot that cannon. and German plane spotted the fire. and signaled back to the German lines the location whence 1t came, And right then and there the Fritzi A~.ot busy. They fired all around the place and Miss Elsie was rushed into dugout. and had to stay for hours. while Fritzie ploughed the fields around for next years har- vest. She just sat around and taught the boys a new song while they wait ed. expecting to be killed each minute.
 The story of "The Regular Girl" is very up to date.
 Elizabeth Van Rensselaer, Schuyler CGlsie Janis) returns to America after an extended stay in foreign lands. Not content to resume the eaieties which governed her life prior to her trip overseas. she sets out to prove to the world that women are equally as use- full as the opposite sex.
 Her opSSrtunfty arrives when she meets a grocery boy who. delivering the days order as Elizabeth sweeps the kitchen floor promptly surmises that she's the Lizzie uf the household, rather than its mistress She accepts his invitation to visit ner other over seas pals at their boarding house in New York's East Side.

 In an attempt to aid them, Lizzie seeks the financial aid of her father, who refuses to pledge the money needed until she first proves her ca pabilities by earning ten thousand dol lars. With the aid of her fiance, Robert King CMatt Moore). Lizzie starts circus. and there thrills the smart set with stunts of daring aban- don. In the meantime her father learns of her reckless adventure and himself eonceives plan whereby loving daughter will be brought to terms
 He might have succeeded had nos Lizzie" with the active cooperation of her many admirers. turned the tables once again and proved to the satisfaction of all that women can earn fortunes if they really set out to do so.
