 Little Rock, Jan 22.-Veteran newspaper reporters have each ses- sion taken occasion to refer to the Senate, then in session, as a glutton for work and to give it the palm for turning out work. The veteran is with us still and the same old state ment can be made for the 1921 Sen ite and it be true one The Senate on Friday passed upon 92 measures, advancing, amending or passing them. Not satisfied, it adjourned Friday afternoon until Saturday morning. The Senate is sending all of its members on Investigating com mittees to the state institutions. and as these will not return until Wednes- day, the upper branch of the legisla- ture will work until Saturday noon in order that its house be left in order.

EUGENE WARD

Eugene, Graham IT, as he is termed by his fellow associates, played his first game of football in the Blevins game as left guard In that game he and "Runt" were bud dies ,and we can say for fact, too, that the Blevins team hit stone wall when they tried their luck on these two.
 Coach, Wilkins decided that Ward would make good at right half, so again he and "Runt" were to play together, and were called by the side line, "The Grey Terrors." Where one was, the other was.
 Ward plowed through the line of the opposing team, making yards every time. He is one of the fastest men on the team and if he once gets an opening and makes a getaway" just kiss the ball goodbye, for he's sure to makea touchdown.
 Although this is his first attempt at the game, he has unquestionably been one of the outstanding stars. And next year with little more ex- perience we can safely say that he will be one of the best back field men in the state
 As he will play for Prescott again
 
 next year, we will now leave our prophecy to be fulfilled

making the biggest and cheapest
crop they have made in years.
There has been heavy reduction
in cotton acreage and a correspond

makes the South more self sustain
