OF COTTON GROWING
American Cotton Association
YV'll Show Fleecy Staple
From Planter to Spinner
The average Arkansas cot
ton planter, outtling with the
weather a: <1 the i - li wevil,
may see little that is pictures
que or romantic in making a
• ■rep of cotton, hut many thou
sands of people in this country
have never seen a boll of cot
ton and have no idea of how it
is raised, ginned and finally
made into cloth.
These people, however, are
soon to be given an opportuni
ty to* see a typical cotton plant
er at work. Interested by the
results attained by the Ameri
can Cotton Association, an en
terprising movie director and
his camera man are making a
film, which is to be shown in
all parts of the country, de
picting the planting and cultiv
aton of the crop, the ginning
and baling of the staple, its
storage, etc., all the way from
the field to the spinner.
Since the picture will show
methods in use in every section
where cotton is raised as well
as the various processes of
spinning, weaving and printing
it will doubtless prove interest
ing to Arkansas people, accus
tomed though they may be to
cotton from their earliest days.
Hence D. C. Welty of Little
Rock, general manager of the
Arkansas Division of the Am
erican Cotton Association, is
negotiating for the use of the
picture in Arkansas, and hopes
to show it in every section of
the state. Mr. Welty says he
expects to secure the picture
soon after it is completed. He
with J. R. Alexander of Scotts,
who is president of the Arkan
sas Division, and B. C. Powell
of Little Rock, vice-president
<. f the national Association and
member of the Executive Com
mittee, was among the many
cotton men who posed for one
scene of the picture taken dur
ing the recent, convention ot
; the Association held in Atlanta,
| Ga. The Arkansas men say
didn’t attempt to look like
Harold Lloyd or Kay McKay,
but they confess that they are
1 curious to see themselves in
die movies and are awaiting
the release of the picture with
interest.
INSTALL SUCTION FANS
Two large suction fans have
been purchased for the Royal
theatre and will be installed
in time for use at the show
Saturday night. Keeping the
nouse cool is the greatest
problem the show7 has had tc
contend with, but this problem
will perhaps be solved when
: the suction fans are installed.
These fans are placed oppo
site an opening in the wall,
, near the ceiling, and pull the
heated air out of a building,
i he fans are capable of dls
placing several thousand cubic
| feet of air per minute, and the
| two that are being installed in
the theatre building will dis
place the entire atmospheric
content of the building every
: six minutes.
The company from whom
the suction fans wrere purchas
ed have given assurances that
the two suction fans, working
in connection with the wall
fans already installed, will
keep the building cool, even in
the hottest weather.
LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN
One black horse, weight
about 1200 pounds; blind in
light eye; two white feet and
small white spot in forehead;
small bell on. Will pay $25
reward for recovery of same.

NEWARK DEFEATS
TUCKERMAN 5 TO 0
Newark and Tuckerman Play
Fast Game at Tuckerman
Last Friday
The Newark baseball team
?nt to Tuekerman last Friday
to play the third game of a
series with the Tuckerman
team, the two previous games
having resulted in a victory for
each of the teams, Newark
winning one from Tuckerman
by a score of 3 to 5 and Tuck
erman taking one from Newark
oy a score of 10 tc 3.
Every one on the local team
was in fine form, rarin’ to go
and (he Newark boys played a
better ball than at any time
previous this season.
“Fish” Sneed, Independence
county’s salient pitcher twirled
for the locals and Tuckerman’s
pinch hitters, long distance
and ordinary batters faded in
to the catchers mitt alike.
Skinner pitched a good
game for Tuckerman but the
Newark boys had their batting
clothes on, and hammered the
leather hard, succeeding in
running in five scores.
Our boys played “air-tight”
ball in the field and at no time
was Tuckerman’s score-keeper
in danger of being over-heated.
Two errors by Newark secur
ed two men on base for Tuck
erman in the last half of the
ninth, no men down and a
pinch hitter at bat—they al
most had a chance to score
this time, but a triple play by
Woods, Newark second base
man brought an end to the
game with a 5 to nothing vic
tory for Newark.
The Saturday show at the
Royal begins promptly at 8 o’
clock, and the second show
starts at 9:15.
Thomas Crown Mowers
are made in 4 1-2 and 5 foot sizes, of the very best
materials, and each machine is carefully built and is
run and fully tested before leaving the factory.
The Crown is a heavier built machine than any
machine we know of today, but it will run lighter. _It
has an extra heavy wheel, 4 1-2 inches across the rim.
The weight of the machine is more directly over the
axle, giving greater traction and increased cutting
force.
All gears are enclosed in a dust proof box, and
run in oil, just like the gears on an automobile. The
double speed enables you to cut heavy or light grass
without any excessive vibration. You do not have to
make your team trot to keep a Crown cutting in hea
vy grass.
Come in and let us show you 4his machine, or if
you cannot come in and are interested, let us send
you a folder describing this mower.
