LARGE ENROLMENT AT
 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Conway. March 2s.-Public interest in the public schools, already mani fested in many ways, has found strik- ing expression in the phenomenal in- crease of attendance registered at the Arkansas State Normal School. New students entering the school are in many instances teachers released from their duties in the school room, who have come here to study and better equip themselves for service. One out standing feature of the Normafs work for years past has been the high per cent of its graduates and former stu dents who teach and who teach ill Arkansas.
 Attendance increases have been marked during the past ten days, marking the start of the spring term. As practically all of the newcomers will remain for the summer session, it is difficult to estimate its aggregate attendance, except to say it will exceed any previous record.
 Considered geographically, the State Normal School is serving every nook and corner of Arkansas. In the pres ent student body, only six counties of the state are not represented. En- rollment from Nevada county is as follows. Susie Wallis, Rosston: Vera Hudson. Laneburg; Ellis Whitten, Laneburg

B. l.. MOSS PLAN FOR
 MAKING COTTON UNDER
 BOIL WEEVIL CONDITIONS

First, burn up all rubbish around the cotton fields, bryer patches. head rows, stumps; prepare well, lay off ground, lap one furrow on it and put out your fertilizer: then bed out on this, harrow off and plant, an early kind of cotton, plenty of seed to get a good stand. Mir Moss distributes 300 lbs. of 16fo acid, 200 nitrate of soda. mixed per acre. and gathers 3-4 of bale of cot ton per acre. On his special field he gathers one bale per acre and that on sandy land.
 Second Harrow off and chop out to q hoes width and dust up with small heel sweep with short shovel.
 Third. Cultivate with heel sweep exclusively, with short ploy in front. Tries to get his cotton all in one body, or field
 He says that he has tried spraying, picking up and burning squares, and has abandoned this for the best and early seed, better methods of cultiva- ton and heavy fertilizing. using nitrate of soda as nitrogen carrier, as it is quick in it's action.
 He says he has fight with the weevil and his motto is to beat him to it. and has given him good race thus far
 For 5000 worth of high grade ferti- lizer he has received S6000 worth of cotton and is very happy for the ex- change. I have one of Mir. Moss bull letins, published for the public. It is mighty good reading Every cotton raiser should have one of these.

Boxing Commission
Pulls New Joker
On Jack Dempsey
ASSOCIATED L

NEW YORK. July ga supposed
four round exhibition match staged at
Buffalo last night between Jack Demp-
sey and Jimmie Darcy, the Portland
scrapper, was a real title fight. it turn.
ed out later. The New York boxing
commission notified the respective
managers that the scrap was a title
fight and demanded a decision. Demp-
sey me several boxers one after the
other during the exhibition. Darcy
stayed with the champion the longest
except Brennan who has now signed
for a title match with Dempsey.
Dempsey and Lis manager Eearns
have been on a tour of New York
state since the first of July, the cham
pion appearing in exhibitions. II is
presumed that the edict of The com
mission that Dempsey must defend
his title before July 10 is the cause
of the commissions demanding a de-
cision be rendered.

Champion Not In
Hurry For Orgy
With Harry wills

NEW NORK-Eminently satisfied
with the way business is progressing
in these parts, the fistic firm of Demp-
sey and Kearns today made a noise
like a rubber heel and disappeared in
the purpling shadows of the west.
They are off on n of their periodical
exhibition tours and will forget Harry
Wills and the New York State Boxing
Commission until they return.
Then, it is assured, they will sign
those papers binding the Dempsey
Wills bout for the black and white
championship of the world.
That is n cause of their satisfac-
ton. Another is the fact that they
are now assured of getting their price
for the match, thanks to the good Of
flee of the commission.
In unburdening itself Of the edict
that Dempsey sign for the Wills af-
fair in a limited time or forfeit his
title in New York State, the commits
sion laid no mandatory provisions. 1t
merely insisted that he sign.
Therefore the check that kearns
will no doubt hand to Wills, for he and
his managers approval, will no doubt
take good care of the Dempsey
hedTnS interests. Wits HdldSSI,
Mullins, can sign it or not as he sees
fit, for Kearns will have observed the
rulings of the commission to the let
ter. 1t is a rather singular aspect Of
the entire business that nobody has
yet troubled to inquire what Mullin
himself would want for the fight.
Dempsey himself received some
thing like $27,500 for m~an-handling
Willard, but times have changed since
then. Wills cannot be blamed for
wanting his just dues from an enter
prise that promises a million dollar
gate at the very least, but Dempsey
and Kearns are shooting at a round
half million for their share and after
the promoter drags down his cut there
will certainly be little left for Wills.

WILLARD STILL ON
DEMPSEY'S TRAIL

LOS ANGELES-Jess Willard, for
mer heavyweight boxing champion,
claims that he is not a bit discour-
aged over the reports coming from
New York that Jack Dempsey, pre-
sent champion, is going to meet
Harry Wills before he gives Willard
a return match, and has already be-
gun active training. The big Kansan
says that Dempsey's meeting Wills
first is sufficient proof that he is side
stepping him.
Il can and will beat Dempsey il
he meets me in October or November
| am going ahead with light training
and it is up to Dempsey to defend
his title. I am a challenger and far
more formidable than Carpenter
or Brennan, both of whom are getting
return matches" Willard stated.
"Kearns (Dempseys manager) left
Los Angeles" said Willard. "He told
the press that he was going East to
negotiate a match with me. He kept
up that line of chatter, yet there is
no match.

Sports Chinese and
Wacs Versus ASahi
On Maui Circuit

With the first series drawing to a
close the Rice Birds are in a fine
position to finish the first half of
the league with a no defeat record.
But n stumbling block remains in
the path of the followers of Harold
Rice. One more game must Haiku lay
claim to victory to go undefeated on the
first lap of the circuit race for the
flag. The Mandarins who played
the fasteners to a 10 inning tie at
their first meeting, but who were
numerically routed by Haiku when
the teams me to play off the tie are
the one aggregation that may stop
the leaders in the rush to a goal.
And, too, should the Chinese win
from Haiku an extra real champion
ship game will have to be played.
May the Gods OF fate be kind when
these teams meet in combat one week
from Sunday.
For this weeks entertainment at
kahului park, the Sports and Chinese
will cavOrt for the first nine innings.
The second game will be Wacs VS.
Asahi. Games start at 1870.

Cinisi is closer to them than Lexing-

ards are the standards of Cinisi.
Maria, who is young and pretty, buys
herself an American hat with cher
ries on it and goes forth to observe
herself in the shop windows. The o,d
women of the community shake their
heads. "In Cinisi she carried bas-
ket of tomatoes on her head. Now
she carries a hat. She is growing
vain" Or Tony moves to Brooklyn
and prospers there. The gossips con-
fer. How is it one so shiftless can
make money in Brooklyn? When he
moved away he was so poor he could
not afford a moving van, but piled
all his furniture onto little wagon.
And he was so stingy he would not
pay his wife's car fare, but made her
ride on top Of the furniture"

the olive crop in Cinisi or the
