ARKANSAS PICTURE
 MAKES BIG HIT
Most Beautiful Girl in U. s. Shown Dedicating Big Hy-

High praise for the Arkansas Hydro-EIectric Company's stir ring film, seThe River of Mon- ey," is being accorded by the newspapers wherever this in- teresting picture is shown.
 The picture Was made under the supervision of the>Arkansas Advancement Association at the dedication of Dam No. 1 of the Arkansas Hydro-Electric DeVel opment Company on the Lit tie Red River, and is being shown in the state in an ef- fort to promotte wider inter- ests in the States resources and particularly in Arkansas hydro-electric development.
 The leading actors are Miss Edith Mae Patterson of Pine Bluff, recently adjudged the most beautiful girl in the United States, Governor T. C.. McRae, and Virgil C. Petite, President of the Arkansas Fly dro Electric Development Go.
 The picture not only shows Miss Patterson in all her beau ty in striking elose-ups but al- so gives a good view of the 10000 persons who attended the dedication and barbecue at Camp Livingston recently.
 When these pictures were shown in Bald Knob the Searcy Daily Citizen in it's re- port declared:

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
 PLAY TWO GAMES
Boys Win, Girls Lose in Open ing Games at Tuckerman
 Last Friday

The double header games at Tuckerman last Saturday between the local high school basketeers and those of that place opened the basket ball season in earnest for Newark High School. The local team made splendid shoWings, split ting the scores about evenly with two strong opposing teams. NeWark's boys won a victory of 38 to 20 in one of the smoothest and swiftest games they have ever played. But the girls,-WeIb Tuck erman's girls certainly knew the game, one another, and furthermore, seemed to know just where our weak points were. Anyway they gave us Newark boys and girls an op- portunitty to feel blue. But with such skillful sportsmen to defeat us we couldn't stay blue. Neither could you. We'll whisper the score, 29 to 9, against our home girls, but we're proud of the fight our girls made.
 Just after dinner the wealth CT man, knowing we had stir red at 3:30 a. m. to catch our hot shot, intervened to give us a rest for the coming contest by pouring out a whole cloud in that vicinity. While this was going on-coming down to be explicit-our boys lim- bered themselves up by chang ing clothes again and again. Interspersed with rain and clothes changing was some popular music in the auditor ium by one of Tuckerman's high school girls.
 Newark, those teams are coming for a second game here on our local courts on Friday afternoon, Dec. 9. We are proud of your support in ath- letics as well as in uur literary work, and we want you to turn out en mass to see us play Tuckerman again. We hope to play other good teams soon' several of them. And just here for the consolation of those who might fear we devote an undue portion of time to ath- letics let me say that authen- tic statistics show that mem- bers of athletic teams all over the country make higher grade averages in their liter ary work than do non-partici- pating students. Our Univer- sity athletic teams have made higher averages in other schol- astic attainments than the rest of the student body combined, even counting the teams aver ages III with the general aver age. Moreover, just this week while examinations are being closed, I find that our boys and girls who participate in athletics to any extent have made grades appreeiably above the average for the en- tire school.
 Come out the 9th, and help us win.
