In the absence OF any definite an
nouncement concerning fighting on
land. attention is being turned to ac-
Invites at sea. especially the sinking
OF the British steamer Malachite and
Primo OFF Havre by German subma-
rines. The fact that submarines are
able TO 20 so far from their base and
make the English channel unsafe is
a source OF satisfaction.
The loss of the British battleship
Bulwark also is regarded with salts
faction. No matter what was the
cause. II is looked upon as another
serious loss for the British navy.
Berlin newspapers reprint without
comment reports from Holland and
elsewhere of a renewal Of activities
IN the West. II is denied officially
that Dlxmude has been recaptured By
the allies. II is still in the hands OF
the Germans

NO REASON GIVEN OUT
 FOR DELAY IN DECISION

It is not known what is causing the delay in the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case ia- volving the franchise tax of the Cot ton Belt railroad. It was submitted Feb. 27, and there has yet been no in- tention when a decision may be expect ed
 The Cotton Belt is the only corpora tion that resisted the franchise tax, and that is done on the theory that the state has no right to declare a franchise tax on corporation doing an interstate business. That is the only issue before the Supreme Court. The tax due this year is $11, 800, and the accurued tax for the years 19i1-13 inclusive is about $35,000.

ARK ANSAS' EXHIBIT
 SITE IS SELECTED
Governor Hayes and Party HOnOred at San Francisco. Ceremonies Concluded with Raising of
 Arkansas Flag.

San Francisco, June 26.-This has been the busiest day in the history of the Arkansas delegation sent to Cali fornia. The entire day was given by exposition officials state, county, and city officials, officials of the Southern Society, Arkansas Society, Press Club Ad Mems Club and former Arkansans to the interests of this state.
 Beginning early this morning, the Arkansas party was taken in charge by the exposition officials and the pro- ceedings of the day were executed with complete success. Governor Hays and party were taken over the ground and selected the site for Arkansas building The site overlooks the bay, the Golden Gate and the mountains across the bay. Later the deed was given to Arkansas by the exposition officials After selecting the site, con frming the proposition, Pres. Moore of the exposition, the Arkansas dele gation and former Arkansans living in San Francisco were rendered a banquet at the Palace hotel, where President Moore acted as toastmas- ter Addresses were made by repre- sentatives of the United States gov ernment and others, with responses by Gov. George W. Hays, Commission CT General HOllpnbpro and bv CeOvcra R. Brown.
 Part of the afternoon was devoted to entertainment at the Preside. The party then went to the Arkansas site where the United States band played patriotic airs and formal speeches were made by national, state, city and exposition officials, with eloquent res ponses by Geovernor Hays, F. B. T. Hollenberg and Judge Harry E Cook and V. A. Beeason.
 The ceremonies were concluded with the raising of the Arkansas flag on one staff and the United States flag on the other. Meanwhile the moving picture artists were busy and the warships and great vessels of commerce formed a fitting background in magnificent Golden Gate harbor.
 Governor Hays read telegrams of congratulation from the Chamber of Commerce, the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce and the Boards of Trade of Little Rock and TeXarkana.
 Tomorrow the state and city author ities will entertain the visitors with further functions, the most important of which will be an excursion about the harbor, through the Golden Gate and a look at the Pacific Ocean.

BACKYARD IS AN
 INDEX OF CHARACTER

From seventh story window we looked down on two back yards, They lie behind the houses of the same character; they are of one size; they are bounded by the same tight board fences. There the likness ends.
 One yard is bare and brown, with patches of mud here and there. At sheds not actually out of repair, bct evidently hasting thither. Aga st them is piled rubbish that has over flowed the original attempt to pro- wide containers. The yard is a patch of ugiiness, waste of the space.
 The other yard is carpeted with the bright, fresh green of the season. through which runs a neat walk to orderly sheds that show no signs of decaying from neglect. Two little trees give promise that some day there will be cool shade on warm summer afternoons, a breathing spot in the midst of the downtown dis trict.
 It isn't difficult to argue from tho difference in these yards the differ ence in tf people. who occupy the houses 1t means a difference m habits of living, in ideas of cleanH- ness and thrift, and even beauty Sometimes children play in the gra5 sy yard, out in the neighboring alley is more attractive than the muddy yard, And yet one might be made as attractive as the other, not in a moment, for neglect has gone too far, but with a little care and attention, which could be found as readily by the dweller in one house as the dweller ia the Milwaukee Journal.

TEMPERANCE COMING.

TEMPERANCE COMING.
 In her stirring address before the Nationai w. c. T. U. convention at Asbury Park, N. J., and later speaking before the house judiciary committee n Washington, Mrs. Mary Harris Ar nor, the Georgia cyclone" gave some of inc reasons why we may look for "saloonless nation in 1920.' We qucte:
 T believe that Jesus Christ meant what he said and said what he me ant when he declared, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth and believe that the God who made the sun stand still on Cibeon, and the moon on Aialon, at the cry of his Gghting praying believing servant, Joshua ,s perfectly able to smash the liqucr traffic into everlasting smither- eens, whenever we get ready.
 The old order changes, giving piece to new, and Godsfulhus himself in many ways He has promised the destruction of the liquor trafic in these words, Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire Certainly no mar would say that the liquor traffic brings forth good fruit; hence the liquor traffic must go.
 "One of the ways in which God is fu}Ening this promise is through his eternal truth in science. King Alec hol bce marched down the ages for these thousands of years, conquerng and to conquer, until the centuries sob with a ceaseless sorrow but at last science has burst the blood-rust- ed chain tlat bound her for a thou sand years, has seized the shining two edged sword of Gods eternal truth, and challenges the monster to mortal combat To doubt the issue is to doubt the sanity of the human race and the power Of the everlasting God.
 'T believe we shall have a salOonless nation in 1920 because public senti- ment is orrosed to the liquor traffic. The persistent education along scien. tihc temperance lines, instituted by the Womon's Christian Temperance union years ago, is bearing fruit today in 6 mighty army of young men and young women in the various religious and philanthropic organizations in our schools and colleges, and even in the halls Of congress.
 The liquor traffic is doomed to speedy destruction because it is op- posed to common sense Hasn't it al ways been opposed to common sense? Yes, but people have not been eXer- cising their common sense in this di- rection until comparatively recent years, for two reasons: First, be- cause Gods eternal truth in science had not been revealed on this ques- ton as it is today; second, the world is better today than ever before, and the public mind is obsessed with tb9 idea of the preservation and prolonga tion of human life Eugenics is the most popular fad of the day City. state. and national governments are

''The Boy Who Always Said, Wait
 Just a Minute.
Anne Fielder Jelks.

James, James, run here, son. called Mrs. Brown to her little boy, who was busily engaged in the back yard, building a pen for his pet rab- bits.
 "All right, mother, wait just a min ute," came back the answer
 Presently the same call was heard, this time with more emphasis, James come to mother this minute"
 "All right, mother, I'll be there in just a minute. haven't but one more board to nail on, on this side"
 Mrs. Brown did not call any more, but after some fifteen minutes or more had elapsed, James came slowly up the steps to where his mother sat, on the back porch, with tray of emp ty dishes lying on her lap.
 What is it mother?" asked James, as he spied the empty dishes, which at once had 9 meaning to him.
 %, nothing now. my dear" sweet ly replied Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Chap man had just sent me in such a nice dish of strawberry cream, your favor ite kind, and l wanted you to have some, but as cream melts very quck- ly this hot weather, and you would not come when I called you, l had to eat it all by mayself."
 "Oh, shucks," said James, as he went suIlenly down the steps and back to his work.
 Later in the afternoon, as Mrs. Brown was seated on the front porch reading, James began calling loudly to her. 1t did not sound like & call of distress, but to be certain, she tip toed to the end of the porch, wnere she could see James with the little pen propped up on his knee and holding it steady with one hand, while with the other hand he tried to ail on a short board, Every time he began to hammer, the pen would slip rom his knee and the boarl fall out O. place. Annoyed to the point of eXasperation, he was calling to his mother for help. Mrs. Brown realizing that here might be given her an opportunity to send home to that young mind a much needed lesson, resumed her seat to await further developments.
 Presently James called louie. and more imperatively.
 "All right son. wait just a minute, D came back the reply
 James gave one more impatient lick st the nail, this time striking his own nail hard enough to bring the blood and the pen fell with all it's weight on his foot.
 Wow yelled James in agony.
 Mrs. Brown needed no one to tell her that this was the distress signal. and she came quickly. After carefully bathing the wound, she began ten derly binding it with an antiseptic dressing.
 Mother" sobbed James, "why didn't you come when l called you .
 My dear replied Mrs. Brown with even more gentleness, "I had only a little more to read before finishing my story, and ! thought you would wait just a minute"
 James looked his mother steadily in the eye and his young mind at once Igrasped her meaning. He learned his lesson well from this experience, and from that day, his mother never had to call him but once, for he never wanted to wait just a minute
