WCT WEATHER
"DON'TS" FOR YOU
DIR. Alsberg Says Keep Your Eyes OF
the Thermometer and Bar
Ice Water.

Washington, June 23.-The last
word in hot weather "donts" was is
isued in brief form today by DR..
Carl Alsberg. who succeeded Dr. Har-
vey w. Wiley, as chief o fthe United
States bureau of chemistry. DR.. Ais
berg, it developed, would abolish the
thermometer because of it's despairing
effect upon the mind of perishing men
and women. Here are his "don'ts.'
Don't eat to excess.
Don't wear too many clothes.
Don't drink ice-cold beverages.
Don't look at the thermometer and
Keep thinking how hot it is"
Iced drinks are one of DR.. Alsberg's
denominations, for he says they dis
order the stomach and interfere with
digestion.

C0PI0US RAINS

PLANTERS IN MANY PARTS or
TIE STATE GET SHOWER
JUST IN TIME
General In This SectiOn-HOt Spell
Broken BY the Local
Shower.

The heavy shower that fell in this
city and section of the state yesterday
Afternoon was worth thousands of dol
lars to the planters and truck growers
who have big corn crops. Corn in this
section needed rain badly and the
growing cotton also showed signs OF
dryness. although in many localities
the cotton crop could have stood five
days of sunshine. But the rain OF
yesterday helped it anyway and the
farmers are all smiles over the bright
crop outlook
In this city the shower was geneI-
ally welcomed. The intense hot
weather of the past ten days made
the dust Devil" active and the heat
wave has been very oppressive and
unpleasant. The sufferers from the
heat in this city enjoyed the cooling
breezes that came after the rain and
the refreshing atmosphere
A condition that was approaching 2
drouth in several sections of the state
especially in the north, was relieved
by heavy rains Saturday and Sunday.
In many places the rain came at 4
most serious damage. \ splendid
rain fell at Little Rock Sunday after
noon, the first in several weeks. II
a few places. notably at Eel Dorado,
Atkins and Alma. the rain was ac-
companied by heavy winds that did
some damage.
The rainfall in Little Rock in 21
hours amounted to 161 inches

The men politely informed him that
he had made the trade and that he
would never secure his horse again.

NEGRO CHARGED WITH
STEALING A HORSE
Mack Wiley Must Explain Why He
Tied Animal To a Tree and
Left 1t.

Charged with the theft of horse
belonging to Mrs. Viola Johnson, Sat-
urday night, in New Town, Mach
Wiley, a negro, was arrested yester-
day by Constable Evan Parnell, assist
ed by Special Agent W. D. Higinboth~
am, and will be given a hearing this
afternoon before Magistrate Gabe
Meyer.
1t is alleged that the negro found
the horse staked out near the home
Of Mrs. Johnson and united the rope,
leading it away. The horse was TAX.
en- to the camp of some horse-dealers
near the city, but no one was at that
place, so the negro tied the horse to
tree and told several neighbors to
tell the men that he would return
Sunday morning and make a deal
with them for the sale of the horse.
next morning. they suspected that it
was a stolen animal and reported the
affair to Constable Evan Parnell. That
officer was furnished with a descrip-
ton of the negro who brought the
horse to the camp, and Willey's ar
rest soon followed The negro will
be given preliminary hearing before
Magistrate Gabe Meyer this afternoon,
and it is very probable that he will
be bound over to await the action of
the Jefferson county grand jury.
