Five big fat and juicy errors be-
hind the elongated Jess Ming, one of
Dallas star pitchers in the first game
of a double matinee. Sunday, tells the
whole story OF how the to vic
tory was donated to the tribe of
Jones.
The visitors bumped Alexander for
thirteen safe blows in eight and one
third innings he pitched The Giants
drew first blood in round one and the
Cats came back in the last half Of
round one and secured three tallies

L. Jones, Carter. Gee. Johnson and
Maxwell figured in the principal roll
of scoring the locals first three runs.
The home team scored again in the
4th with Carter and Gees singles,
johnson double,
The visitors were blanked in their
half Of the fourth.
In the last half OF the sixth the
Painters heavy artillery was again
in action, Gee polled safe drive
and was forced at second by johnson,
Maxwell advanced johnson with
single.
Johnson going to third base on
and scoring later on rulers long
fly to Darlington; giving the home
squad to 1 lead over the Giants
and thus ended the scoring.

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS.
lPreston News servicel

New York city, June 1.-The Gre
ole Follies Revue" a much talked of
production. made it's initial bow to
quite a large audience at the La
fayette on Monday night and while
it did not come upto expectations, 1t
showed by the lavish display of seem
cry, garrish costumes and the other
necessary habiliments for an offering
of its kind, that white men backing
such productions these days are fully
aware that the day has long since
passed when they tan get by without
going the. limit in trying. to arrest
the attention of a public which Graves
something new all the time. even
from the Colored brother, now the
rage in theatrical circles here.
Lack of appreciation for the worth
of those they were successful in
rounding up stood out at the premiere
when we witnessed the show, but even
the most pessimistic are of the opin-
ion that after the necessary pruning
and so forth which the experienced
bring to play after an opening, the
show will take its place as one Of
the best of the later day musical
revenues.

WHAT no. MIR. JACK prMpsnrr
(Preston News servicel

preston News Service)
New York, June 1.-The sight of
car at 139th Street and Seventh Ave-
nue. today reminded us that Jack
Dempsey since his return to this
country hasn't shown any undue haste
or disposition to let the world know
how anxious he is to fight the big
Colored boy. True, some of the big
white dailies have been running imag-
| mary stories of the proposed bout
but nothing authetice has as yet come
through and we refuse to throw up
as the articles for fight have been
signed and Paddy Mullin tells us that
the deal Is on. Mullins is Wills man.
ager.
Were we the manager of the
Bronze Panther" we would have jum-
ped on Dempsey's trail to Europe and
challenged him from every house top
on the other side of the pond. but
Mullins, for some reason which the
Colored people will never know seem
ed to be perfectly satisfied to play
waiting game. These be changed
times, and II the days of Jack John
son called for drastic measures. such
action is much more necessary now
Tommy Burns and forced him to dis
card a title to which he had no claim.
AS we have often times remarked, the
white brother will only give us a
chance to right When democracy Is
in danger.
1t must be remembered that Demp-
sey is looking for as big purse as
possible. He wants a half million.
Mullins wants something for Wills
and where will you find promoters
and a place suitable to satisfy all
from a monetary standpoint. Wills
wants the title and will have to give
away awhale of a sum of money to
get chance to win 1t from Dempsey.
Yes, times have changed. they are
not what they used to be. White cham
pions want to get all the coin they
can while gettin' is good Dempsey
knows that Wills will lick him to
a fragile and cut off his chances for
numerous big purses in the next
few years. So you can see why he
is lodging behind one subterfuge and
another In order to delay e combat
with Wills as long as possible. They
will meet, but not soon. Take 1t
from us.

PLAN TO SWEEP SOUTH
All Cotton to Be Sold That
 Way Eventually, Says Mir. Page.

Little Rock, May 17.-After having visited headquarters of the co-opera- tive marketing associations of Texas Oklahoma and Mississippi, Fred L.. Page, sales manager of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Associ- ation, is convinced that in a few years practically the entire cotton crop of the South will be marketed in this manner.
 Mr. Page returned yesterday fl om visit to the headquarters of the Sta- pie Cotton Growers Cooperative As sociation at Greenwood, Miss.
 "The Mississippi association has a wonderful organization, but it has gotten results and the members ap- pear to be perfectly satisfied Sever al members told me that they had re- ceived from seven to eight cents a pound more for their cotton than did nonmembers.
 "Of the 15O0O0 bales of cotton re- ceived by the association only 26,Oo0 remain unsold. This is remarkable record, especially in view of the fact that the association was in it's first year, that it encountered many hand leaps and that until recently the cot- ton market has been very poor. or ficers of the association said that they expect ofinish selling their cotton by July 1 and to be ready to start with a clean slate to market the 1922 crop. Although results have been satisfac- tory this year, they are confident that they can do much better next year in the light of the added experience they have gaIned.e
 The Staple Cotton Growers Co-op- erative Association handles only long staple cotton and hence markets only cotton from the delta regions. It is planned next year to organize the cot ton producers of the hill section of Mississippi into a cooperative mar keting association.
 MT. Page will refain in Little Rock about a week, after which he will leave for a visit to the big market cen- ters of the East

G. o. P, MAY SPLIT OVER TARIFF
Western Senators Expected to Oppose
 Committee on Several Points.

Washington, May 14.-After having had smooth sailing thus far, with nearly all the Republican senators standing by it's recommendations, the Senate Finance Committee may re- ceive some bumps during this weeks consideration of the tariff bill.
 Only five Republicans have at any time during the voting on committee amendments to the House bill joined with tho Democrats. They were LaFol- lette of Wisconsin. Norris of Nebras- ka, Borah of Idaho, Capper of Kansas and Ladd of North Dakota. Of these only Senator LaFollette has voted consistently against the committee.
 Unless dozen or more Republicans desert the party leadership the com mittee amendments are in no danger. Prospects are that sufficient number of Republicans will break away to ov- erturn the action of the committee on several matters, particularly in the case of commodities in which Vest ern senators are interested.
 The first test of strength is likely to come on cyanide The fight on the proposed duty of 10 per cent on cyan idle is led by Senator Pullman of Ne vada, Democrat and by his Republi- can colleague, Senator Oddie. Other Western Republican senators will join with them in an effort to restore cy- anide to the free list. Cyanide is used in refining gold and silver and also fumigating purposes in growing cit rus fruits.
 The duty on cyanide was placed in the bill by the Finance Committee, al though the House Ways and Means Committee had left it on the free list. It is, designed to provide protection for single company, with plants in New York and New Jersey, which for merly were German-owned, and now besides being the only American man. ufacturer, has the exclusive agency for cyanide of German manufacture The American company ft ars the con- petition of a Canadian plant.

It is a common custom in enforcing the traffic laws to hold autoists strict ly to the line and pay little attention to wagons and horse drawn vehicles. He may take either side of the road he likes and park as he pleases. All alike ought to observe the road laws. We doubt if it would be any less pleasant to be killed in collision be- tween a wagon and car than between two cars. The man who drives Wa gon should observe the road laws for his own protection as we'll as those with whom he meets.

FIRE SNUFFED OUT
Burning Gas We'll at Ell Dorado Final.
 ly Extinguishes Itself.

Ell Dorado, May 1.-The only evil dences tonight that there has ever been a raging volcano On the Mur- phy farm in S-16-15, is the yawning chasm, possibly $50 feet across, from which an occasional burst of gas brings out a column of purple sand. In the vicinity where nearly dozen craters threw mud high into the air, there is only the occasional disturb ance. It is believed that all craters will be dead before morning.
 The fire was snuffed out by the fall- ing sand early this morning, after having gone out several times the night before only to be relighted.
 One of the best wells seen in the El Dorado district in many months was completed by the Woodley Petroleum Company on it's Burns lease, in 32-1S- 15 this morning. The we'll came in in the northeast corner of the northeast of the northeast of the section at g. 155 feet. making pipe line oil and showing no water and only one-half of one per cent B. s. A gauge taken after the we'll had been in the tanks for il hours showed that it is making oil at the rate of 2,300 barrels a day. This is by far the best well completed in the district in the past five months.

BRAIN TRAMPS

Hundreds of thousands of jobless men have cut loose from their moor ings They are drifting about the country seeking work on "the other side of the hill.' A census taken now would show great changes in population during the last year. For rent" signs are becoming in- Icreasingly numerous in cities. That shows one of the human currents away from the cities, back to the farms and small towns.
 Business depression is re-distribut- ing the population.
 Tn normal times of prosperity, wan derers are few, compared with the rest of the population.
 And yet, We all are vagrants at heart.
 The average person is a mental tramp-an intellectual rover. Most of the time, his mind is elsewhere. He is a day-dreamer, mentally exploring other lins of work.
 That is the reason for most failures -neglecting the present job, the spirit wandering in far countries, imagining itself in the movies, South Seas or positions of great power.
 A certain amount of this brain roaming is necessary to keep am- bition alive But real success rarely comes until the brain tramp sends out roots and concentrates in one place on the job
 The lure of the distance weakens the grasp on the present.-Southwes American.
