person in any line OF work. There are
always plenty followers but very few
leaders, and they are far between. The
contest manager has been fortunate in
getting among the contestants in the
Herald's automobile contest some real
leaders. They are not only leaders,
but they possess the qualifications Of
making leaders out OF other people.
It is interesting to note the perfect
working machinery Of some OF the
contestants-just how they go about
their work--their follow up system
and how they keep behind each and
every one who may subscribe. They
would be a power in the political field
for 1t is an organization that always
spells success.

test will be in history. Don't let the

Of all moving pictures there are none that will get to a mans heart quicker than a story with Mother in it. That is a subject that immedi- atefy compels respect, a reverence and a desire to honor mother and think kindly of mother. To the men Of Hot Springs, the management would state that there is a two reel Edison picture here today entitled
 "Laddie," which is the greatest Mother story ever written and trons- posed to the camera. 'Laddie" was his mothers idol, but he forgot mother, went to the city and for fifteen years mother was not part of his life, and but little in his memory. Then mother sought 'Laddie,' but his coolaess drove her from his home A year later he sought mother. to make amends for what he had done, but it was too late.

WHEN LONE JUROR
 TRIED CASE HERE
THERE WAS CERTAIN THAT NO DISAGREEMENT WOULD ARISE
 AS TO THE VERDICT.
Ava Moore Decides Issue That Had Been Tried Before and Resulted in a Mistral, When He Writes Mot Guilty

There is one way to prevent a hung jury" and that is to try a cause before a lone juror. Whether such trial may or may not be a finahty. under a technical coastruc- tion of the law, is not dealt with, however, in this story.
 Down in Justice Gladson's court a woman had been arraigned on a charge of illegal cohabitation. She came here with a man from Ken lucky, and soon after they arrived the wife of the man arrived also. She charged the husband and the woman in the case with illegal cohabitation. The husband entered the plea of gull ty the husband and wife made up their differences, and left in peace.
 The woman in the case was left be- hind with a charge against the peace and dignity of the state to answer. She was arraigned in Justice Glad sons court and the jury heard the full story, and disagreed.
 The case was called again for trial, and Attorney Bouic for the defense and Prosecutor Witt for the state tried to be more exacting in securing After exhausting many challenges and spending much time in the ex- animation of the prospective jurors, they had one juror on the case who was acceptable. in Alva Moore. The time was growing late, and it seemed the case would have to go over for another day to get in more talesmen unless something was done
 You have spent long time on this case and haven't got but one duror." said Dudge Gladsol. ''We have already tried this case once, and we can't spend the rest of the sum- mer on it."
 'I am willing to try the case be- fore that one juror" proposed MT. Bouic.
 He is good for the state" respond | ed the prosecutor.
 An agreement thus reached, the case was presented. Moore listened to all the evidence, and then Judge Gladson ordered the court cleared so the jury might consider the case Tey all went out. In about ten minutes Judge Huff came by. and learned of the circumstances. "The jury must be hung" he suggested. But minute later there was rap on the door, and the jury was ready to report

Washington. Aug. Secretary
Garrison repeated today that Ameri-

brought home in foreign commercial
steamers as the quickest and most
expedient way. He declared that the
stories of distress and danger to
Americans have been grossly exag-
gerated and that they do not stand
the test of inquiry.
The war department, however, is
charged with the duty of providing
ships for emergencies and the officials
say they are fully prepared. They
declare that there is no urgency for
action. 1t is held that the Ameri-

Passage Free to MoneyIess.

Paris, Aug. 10.-Americans vino
have relatives in Europe should be
warned against the eXtortionate
charges made for the cable transfer
of money. The monetary situation
in France is by no means desperate,
and does not warrant the charges of
30 and in some cases 60 per cent
which have been exacted.
Mail is apparently being handled
satisfactorily and checks on promi-
nent American banks in Paris are be-
ing honored at their face value.
1t must also be stated that every
thing is being done to help Ameri-
cans temporarily in trouble. The
French population is exceedingly ac-
commodating to United States visit
ors and no cases of real distress are
reported.
Owing to the disorganization of the
railroads, transportation is difficult,
and in many cases baggage is held
up. Some discomfort is unquestiona-
bly, felt by many, but in France, at
least, the personal safety of all
Americans is absolutely guaranteed
The American relief committee,
which is collaborating with Ambassa-
dor Herrick, has received from Wash
ington advices that passage Oh trans
ports will be free to citizens actually
moneyless.
The committee has issued a state
ment that the American government
has provided fund for distribution

will be taken on this side to guard
against imposition.

and work will be provided for Amer
lean workmen. He said:
"'There will be plenty of work in

ket for our products. If we do not
get that market quickly conditions
will be very bad. The wheat crop in
the Northwest is bigger than last
years, but it viii do the country no
good unles we get the ships to trans
port it.
"There will be great demand fof
the products of our mills and factor
les. but what good will that do unless
we get the ships? Ships are what
We need most just now.
"The South has got to find some
means of disposing of the cotton
crop. Otherwise they will be unable
to pay their debts"
