Ragged Playing, With any
Errors, Characterized First
Ball Game

In ragged game that marked rhe
opening of the baseball season in La
dysmith, the Bruce team easily got the
decision, on an to & score
Neither the playing nor the score
seemed to surprise anyone. Lack of
team work and couple of weak spots
i'm the home team accounted for the
result Plenty of errors were chalked
up against the visiters, but better team
work won for them. The locals didn't
get to scoring until the seventh inning,
which was one inning late to tie or
win.
1t was not pitchers battle. Hamblin
for Ladysmith, and Fox and Walker
for Bruce, were hit freely. Hamblin.
however, pitched consistent game and
did as we'll or better than was expect
cd of him. Fox had nothing ON him !;
neither did Walker. Walker was said
to have been out of condition because
Of recent sickness. Hamblim did good
work with the stick, making the best
hit of the day, long one over center
field.
Bruce started scoring in the first
session Four of the visitors stepped
up to the plate in that session, GOff
and COey doing the scoring. No
scores for either side resulted in the
second, third and fourth innings. Fox,
GoiT and LaVigne each scored for
Bruce in the fifth. and Schultz made
The single run in the sixth. Golf scored
again in the last session, and Gerard
also made the circuit.
Ladysmith, late in getting into the
scoring, began to make Bruce nervous
in the seventh. Newman came to bat
and Walker walked him. Hamblin
came up, and hit a long fly to LaVigne
and got to second on his hit, scoring
first and got to second on it, scoring
Hamblin. Christianson. following Fee
ncy. hit to Walker and was put out
at first Miller struck out and Stroud
dittoed Christianson's play. In the
eighth, Backus hit long one to La
Vigne for two sacks. Decker followed
for base; plucheck duplicated
Backus' hit for the same number OF
bases, scoring Backus and advancing
Decker. Newman drew another walk.
Hamblin lined one to Walker who
caught Decker at home plate. Feeney
hit and let Plucheck score. In the
ninth, Ellingson, substitute for center.
came to bat and made first on a drive
to left field. Stroud got a hit for
base, advancing Ellingson to second.

follows:
 Section S414 When any deed, mortgage, deed of trust, bond, con- veyance, or other instrument of writing authorized by law to be re- corded shall be deposited in the re- corders office for record, the recorder shall enter in book to be provided for that purpose, in alphabetical order, the names of the persons and the date and nature thereof, the time of de- livery for record, and shall give to the person delivering the same, if re- quired, receipt specifying the par ticulars thereof.
 We believe a substantial compliance with the above mentioned section would be had and the needs of modern business methods met if in addition to this alphabetical index, reception record were maintained by the record CT after the manner used in the most progressive counties of our state and in all the counties of some of our sis ter states. We therefore recommend that the recordereecure and maintain in his office a reception record for pub lie inspection in which at the time any instrument described in the above mention section 9414 is filed in his office he shall enter the names of the parties, grantor, grantee, date and kind of instrument and description of property and fee charged for same and give the instrument, number to correspond with consecutive numbers entered on said record, different series of numbers or different color of ink being used for mortgages or | deeds of trust to that used for other instruments.
 We recommend a strict compliance with Section 3883 of Kirby's Digest which reads as follows:
 "Section 3883. It shall be the duty of each of the following named off, cers, viz, the secretary of state, au- ditor of state, treasurer of state and commissioner of state lands, and of each officer of any county, city, town or village receiving or earning fees or emoluments of office to keep a rec ord book, fn which shall be entered on each day, an account of all moneys or other funds received or earned by him, said record showing in each instance by whom, on what account and in what funds such payment was made or said fees were earned"
 We have investigated all matters brought to our attention and now ask that we be discharged.

HAPPY HOLLOW.

Health is good in this community.
 Rev. Roberts of Vilonia filled his regular appointment here Sunday.
 We are going to have a Bible insti- tute here, beginning on Friday night before the first Sunday and continu- ing until afternoon of the first Sunday, providing the weather is not exceed ingly bad. All are invited to come.
 School is doing nicely, although the patrons are not interested as they should be. Surely we can find time these bad days to visit the school at least one study period, and see for ourselves what our children are doing. am sure it would prove very bene- ficial. It takes cooperation to have good school.
 Cotton picking is a thing of the past here. The majority of the peo- pie are still holding their cotton, hop ing for a better price.
 Misses Minnie Roberts and Viola Harrod visited home folks Sunday.
 Lawson Parsons and family have moved on w. P. Harrod's place since our last writing. We welcome them.

APPEALS FOR SUPPORT
 OF NATIONAL GUARD

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-In a con- munication addressed to the members of the legislature, Joe S. Harris, ad
 jutant general of the Arkansas Ma tional guard, calls attention to the fact that Arkansas is entitled to a quota of 7,200 men by 1924. This will mean payroll of s1,000,OOO coming into the state annually from the na- tlonal government. "This sum-" says General Harris, "has only two strings tied to it. Arkansas must furnish the personnel and permanent armory facilities. The young men of the state are willing and anxious to do their part. They will furnish the personnel, but upon condition that the state furnishes adequate armorv."

CURB FOR KING COTTON.

Editorial in Arkansas Gazette.)

Editorial in Arkansas Gazette)
 While so much is being said and written about the present condition and the price of cotton, we wish to re- mark that the growing and gathering of cotton is robbing the children o1 the south of the common school edu- cation to which they are so much en- titled, and which so many of them need. This matter deserves a most careful consideration of our very best thinkers.-Martinvil Correspondent of the Conway Log Cabin Democrat.
 The Martinville spondent tells the truth. The manner in which chil- dren on many cotton farms are rob bed of common school educations and the advantages and small luXures that should go to children ofttoday IS not well known beyond the south, but it is known in the south. King Cotton has not been a just monarch. The people should take steps to bring him into line.
 The meeting of farmers and busi- ness men now holding in Little Rock was called for the purpose of curblng the despotism of King Cotton and every cotton grower in Arkansas, large as well as small, should give his best efforts in aid of the movement. Arkansas must raise less cotton and more food and feed stuffs. Every Arkansas farm should raise an abun- dnce of the food and feed stuffs nec- essary for the people and the beasts on the farm. After proper acreage has been allotted to these crops, plant cotton. This plan will automatically reduce cotton acreage to the point ot safety.
 But every cotton grower should be honest with himself and his neigh bors. The crop plan should provide for ample food and feed stuffs based on the minimum yield of a poor year rather than on the maximum yield of a good year.

 "Whereas, a nationwide move is now being made to recognize ade- quately the menace of such viola tion, the governors of many states entering with proclamations, there fore
 q, Thomas c. McRae, governor of the state of Arkansas, by virtue of the constitutional authority and laws of said state of Arkansas, do earn estly request that next Sunday, Janu- ary 23, 1921, be set aside as Law and Order Sunday, when considera- tion of this visit and menacing prob lem may be made the subject for pro- per sermons, exercises and perform ances by the ministers, educators, editors, organizations and societies of Arkansas, to the end that something may be accomplished for law and order and righteous conduct. I re- spectfully call upon all good citizens to pause and consider the weight of such action, and insist that Law and Order Sunday may be observed so as to have immediate and lasting good effect"

POWER COMPANY GIVES UP FRANCHISE

Business has begun to pick up. In other words, If Mahomet won't go to the mountain the mountain must come to Mahomet."
 On Monday afternoon, the Arkan- sas Light X Power Company, through it's attorneys, filed certificate with the city authorities surrendering it's fran chise and right to operate water sys- tenn in this city.
 Pending an adjustment and settle ment with the city council, the com pany will aply to the corporation com mission for a special permit and a fixed rate chargeable for the operation of the water works plan in this city.
 We'll the privilege has at last re- verted to the Arkansas Light X Power Company to take the initiative in the matter of solving a problem that has been of unceasing concern to the res idents of this city for, To, these many years. The matter has been debated from every conceivable angle, many resolutions adopted, many promises made. all of which have come to naught The matter of good water and adequate service is just where it was several years ago. The city councils have appeared absolutely powerless assume the initiative for a remedy, and the company has been in different to our needs in the matter or unable to make them better-we really believe both these latter mo- tives have actuated the attitude of the water company. But it has now seen fit to "pass the buck" as some poker players are prone to say, and the matter is now up to the city coun- cil to give us water system like we have been praying for. Perhaps it will be able to do it if less talk and resoluting is indulged, and more mod ern business activity combined with some definite course be appropriated for the solving of the vextious prob lem.
 The city of Morrilton must stand behind the council in whatever action it decides upon in this matter. Delay and procrastination in taking up the question will only make it's solution the harder. The Unit believes the council will now cooperate and de- wise the most feasible plan and get busy at once.-Morrilton Unit.
