'I AM PROUD OF ARKANSASs
Button Prepared to Be Worn When
 You Are Visiting Other States.

Little Rock, Aug. 12.-(Special) = The buttons 'I Am Proud of Arkan- sas," which are to be worn by Ark ansans when visiting in other states have been delivered to the Little Rock office of the Arkansas Advancement Association. These will not be distri- buted until cards have been prepared showing the advantages of Arkansas, which will be supplie to the wearers of the buttons. The first button was sent to former Governor Chas. H. Trough, who is filling engagements on a Chautauqua circuit in Missouri. Dr.
 Trough is so well yersed in the re- sources of Akansas that button was sent to him in advance in order to give him additional opportunities for expounding the gospel regarding Ar kansas. These buttons are to be worn

MethOdiStS Win Game.

Tn a game Wednesday afternoon with the Presbyterians the Methodists won by score of to 6. At least that is the way the scorebOard read and agreed with the decision of the umpire at the end of the game. The game was largely squabble with the spectators trying to run the game and render all decisions. At the hour of going to press the fans were still arguing, but so far as we kIow no decision had been reached by them. We might discuss the great question at issue, but that happens to be none of our business. We learned our baseball in the days when umpires ran the game and the fans and play CTS did less talking and more fighting. If you could eliminate the mucking it was a real nice game, full of thrills and interest Huddleston and Rus sell pitched.

Freight Train is Derailed;
 IS Burned to Death

Houston, Texas, Aug. S. - Fast freight train No. 32, east-bound, of the Gulf Coast lines was derailed near DeQuincy, La, shortly before noon today Fifteen men were burned to death in the flames that started i'm mediately after the derailment.
 It was reported at the general of- fees m Houston that the derailment occurred just as the train was cross ing 3OO-foot bridge over Clear creek. It was said that one of the cars was derailed just as it started over the bridge and that it pulled 60 other cars in to the creek with it. A fire of unknown origin started i'm mediately afterward, destroying the cars that plunged into the creek Four of the cars contained gasoline with one crude oil, on hay and the other lumber.
 The men who are supposed to have lost their lives were unauthorized per sons, IluluS lue u dlh, ohASi1Ao ASi N said. It was reported that one man escaped and said that seven others who were riding the train went down when the cars plunged into the creek, and were burned. Two of the crew, Brakeman A. Mason of DeQuincy and Dan Valley, were slightly injured.
 Five crews of wreckers were sent to the scene of the derailment and be- gan working to clear the tracks
 Reports from the dispatcher's of- flee are that passenger trains will probably detour from Beaumont via Lake Chalres over the Missouri Pa cific to Kinder La. thence on the Gulf Coast tracks
 Work of clearing the debris is pro- gressing, and articles found substan- tiate the belief that many were kill ed, although the bodies are burned beyond recognition
 Efforts to identify any of the l5 men practically have been abandoned.

CHANGE OF VENUE FOR BANKERS
Indicted Lafayette County Men Will
 Be Tried at TeXarkana.

Lewsiville, Aug. 9.-Three men charged with wrecking the Lafayette County Bank today were granted a change of venue from this county to Miller county, on the plea that they could not obtain fair trial here be- cause of prejudice The change was granted by Circuit Judge George R. Haynie, presiding over Lafayette Cir cult court. The defendants are J. D. Bourland president of the defunct Buckner bank; J. D. Hanson, vice president, and J. M Bolger, cashier.
 Three others indicted in connection with the banks failure will also be given changes of venue when their cases are called, it is believed. They are: B. c. Burns and J. M. Hanson, directors, and Tom Cook, assistant bookkeeper.
 At the last session of the Lafayette grand jury. two indictments each were returned against Bourland, J. D. Hanson and Bolger, and one each against Burns, J. M. Hanson and Cook. Today the grand jury return ed an additional indictment against Bourland, J. D. Hanson and Bolger. All the indictments charge the bank CTS with accepting deposits when they knew the bank to be insolvent.
 The bank closed it's doors about a year ago. At that time J. D. Hanson is said to have been indebted to the bank to the amount of $55,O0O Since the failure, both Bourland and J. D. Hanson went into bankruptcy. Both were in business at Buckner. They have re-entered business, however.
 The depositors, it is generally be- lieved, will lose practically all their money The failure of the bank was one of the most complete in the his tory of the state. There is said to be much ill-feeling at Buckner against the indicted bankers.

1921 Cotton Crop is
 Worth About a Billion

New Orleans, Aug 9.-The South produced a cotton crop during the year ending with July, which, seed and all, was worth more than a bil- lion dollars, according to the annual statement issued to the cotton trade today by Henry G. Hester, secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
 It was a year of tremendous de- preciation in values, said MT. Hester, the average value per bale falling from $174.15 during August of 1920 the first month of the cotton year, to $56.91 during June, the eleventh month. During July, the twelfth month, there was a recovery to S59.o4. The total value of the commercial crop of 11,377,316 bales was $1,O76,- 3S0,710. During the preceding year the commercial crop, while totaling only 12,443,1S0 bales, was valued at $2,516,544,52O.
 In commenting on the fall in values, Secretary Hester says that ill the face of such tremendous deprecia- tion in such a brief period "a most remarkable fact looms out, that fi- nancial institutions of the South have held up as they have. This is partly accounted for by the futures contract hedge system"
 The price of middling spot cotton in the South during the season was placed at 16.0S cents a pound against 3S.21 cents during the proceeding year. For the entire year the average value of cotton bale was $S267 again $1745S during the proceeding year.

A Four to Nothing Game.

The Presbyterians scored a shutout against the Methodists Tuesday. The score was to O. Orrison for the Presbyterians pitched invincible ball. His support was good. Cobb for the Methodists pitched what ordinarily would have won any ball game. At least two of the runs scored off him were let in by his own and other in- field errors. The earned runs were two.It was very pretty seven inning game.

What the town is now facing in the way of it's water supply is only the continuation of trouble that has been bling up for months, or even years. There comes a day when inetficiency in upkeep and financial management calls for a reckoning, and all in heap. We are busy with our own af- fairs and so long as the water flows when we turn on our hydrants we suppose that all is we'll and give it no thought. A manufacturing plant If run successfully has it's machinery in perfect condition at all times If this were not true there would come a day when it's plant would be pile of scrap iron and it's affairs would be i'll the bankruptcy courts. Back of all this there must be a business head, who keeps his fingers on the situation at all times. He sees trouble from afar off and sidetracks it. He sees that the cost of operation is kept within the revenue. Now that we are alive to this situation, let's not be sat isfied in getting the plant back into an efficient condition but let's see that it is so managed that it will remain in that condition, not only in good mechanical condition, but financial. The trouble so far has been that all the revenue was consumed by repair bills. Cheaper by far in the end to scrap the junk and eliminate the re- pair bills, get the thing on a self sus- taining basis.

TICKET REGULATIONS
MADE AT HARVARD

Cambridge, Mass. November 26.-
There will be new deal in the al
lotment of seats for the next Yale
Harvard football game in the stadium
two years hence, the Harvard Attn
letic association announced today.
One detail of the changes proposed
will give freshmen and sophomores
precedence over graduates and uni
versity officers. Although nominal
ly entitled to two tickets each, these
lower classmen this year were cut to
one each because of the large num-
Der of graduate APPLICATIONS.
Rules established In 1910 for ticket
distribution have been found made
quate to meet changed conditions
and a new committee is to be ap-
pointed to draw up a revised plan.
1t is no longer possible to assure
all Harvard. men of seats for them
selves and at least one companion
and the new order of things will take
this fact into account. AS to loca-
ton of seats, the statement today
said, that under the existing plan of
preferences and the seating short
age, a graduate had one chance in
80 of getting seat in the Stadium
proper on the Harvard side.

GUNTERSVELEI BEATS
TALLADEGA ELEVEN

Guntersville, November 26.-(Spe-
cial.)--In a bitterly contested game
Guntersville triumphed over ITALIA
dega High at the Guntersville fair
grounds this afternoon to the tune
of Z to o.
Coacn Wren's Talladega bunch is
fighting aggregation. and during
the first half Guntersville was not
able to score upon them, although
they carried the ball within the
shadow of the goal twice, just be-
fore the first half ended.
The first and only touchdown came
near the end of the third quarter.
After both teams had fought up and
down the middle of the field for sew
eral minutes. Guntersville got the
ball, and by sweeping end runs aided
by several short passes, they were
soon in a position to score. Terrific
line plunging by Ditto placed the
ball on the two-yard line, and with
fourth down and two yards to go. he
hurled himself through a mass of
tangled players for the only touch
down of the game Hamil kicked
goal.
For Talladega Druner. halfback,
was the outstanding star. THIS
Spccuy DLlle ndlI saved MS team
from being scored upon several times
by hauling the man down from be-
hind after he had clear field. He
was especially clever in breaking up
forward passes and returning punts.
He also made several neat gains
around the ends. Haynes. fullback,
made some nice line plunges. On the
line Phillips, guard, showed up we'll.
For Guntersville, Ditto was the
best ground gamer. His terrific line
plunging featured. He made the only
touchdown of the game. Lewis, at
quarter. made several nice runs and
showed up as a great passer. Rice.
Greenwood. Lane and Camp all
played a great game. The mammoth
pair of linesmen, Rollins and Bagwell,
tore great holes in the Talladega
line. Corbin. St. John, Gilbreath. and
Wilson. although light, played ag-
gressivc ball. During the entire sea-
son these boys rarely failed to out
play their heavier opponents.
