|. E. HALTER RAISES
 SOME FINE POTATOES

l.. E. Halter, who has won nation wide fame on his agricultural prod ucts, brought the Log Cabin Demo- crat today some fine specimens of late Irish potatoes grown on his farm one mile east of Conway. On one and one-half acres Mir. Halter states that he harvested more than 200 bushels. The potatoes are of the Early Fri umph and Blue Victor varieties, and were planted July 15, cover crop of crimson clover being turned under.
 MT. Halter says his experiments have taught him that it does not pay to use small unmarketable potatoes for seed. He selects the best of his crop for seed, cutting them into quar- ters, and brought in some of the roots with the section of potatoes used as seed still attached. He says also that late potatoes when properly cared for will keep indefinitely without rotting.

THE ARKWAY.

"The Fox," a two-reel Rex drama, will top the program at the Arkway tonight. Stories of life on any of the frontiers of civilization have al- ways been and probably always will be received by the vast army of people who live exiled from nature in the grimness and grayness of cities Up- on the frontiers life is seen against a natural background. There is less of the artificial and traditional here and greater display of the basic emo tions which are common to all hu- manity, and it is the element of hu- manity in this story which measures it's worth. "The Fox" is a story of the early days laid in the great for ests of the Canadian Northwest Have you ever imagined this?
 "Neighbors," Sterling comedy, al- so will be shown tonight

At The Theatres
THE GRAND.

1.-The Little Captain,' Vitagraph comedy drama, heads the bill tonight at the Grand. He is real soldier and carries out military tactics and corps d'esprite to the letter. It is all done in play but he takes it seri- ously. In helping an escaped convict, who presents himself as a comrade Sonny Jim gets himself into trouble He gets out of it with honors and succeeds in securing a pardon for the convict. It is a pretty and appeal ing story of manly little fellow who errs on the side of duty rather than be disobedient
 "Broncho Billy's Punishment" Els sanay drama, and "Hearst-S -Selig, News, Pictorial" topical will con- clude the program.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

The Far East has aken, for the moment at least, the center of the stage in the war drama that is being enacted in Europe, Asia and Africa. With lessening of the hostilities in northern Belgium and France, and with the situation caused by Turkey s use of her warships against ostensi- ply friendly nations, not yet clear enough to reveal what it's outcome will be, comes the announcement that the Japanese and the British have be- gun again an attack on Germany's fortified base at Tsingtau.

The shelling of Tsingtau began with the dawn of the Japanese en- peror's birthday yesterday and at last accounts it was proceeding vigorous ly. Tsingtau has been invested by land and sea virtually since the con- mencement of the hostilities in Eu- rope.

attended to. The sporting schedule CON
tanned greater array Of events than
ever previously contested.
The list OF events was somewhat en-
livened BY the introduction of wrestling.
The French mode OF wrestling was the
center OF much interest. Morris Wood,
an exponent OF this style of wrestling,
was the master of every opponent that
doubted his ability. So great was his
success with the peculiar holds that it is
rumored he will enter the championship
lists at the state fair this fall. The
catch -as.catch- can phase of wrestling at

knew that at the park there was relief
from the heat. By mid forenoon a larg-
err part of the Sunday school members
had gathered in the shade OF the large
grove ut the east end of the park. The
pavilion was thrown open for those who
cared to take advantage of its inviting
floor and there was merriment aplenty.
At noon basket lunch was spread over
the green and it was well after noon
time before the youngsters were ready
for the athletic events.
Enthusiasm over the outdoor program

decisions were received with acclaim
Edwards heavy hitters finally triumphed
by score of % to g. A batting fest
