MONTH IF DROUTH
 HAS BEEN BROKEN
THERE HAD BEEN NO APpREcL ABLE RAINFALL IN CENTRAL
 SECTION FOR 30 DAYS
WORTH MILLIONS TO CROPS
Crops Were Beginning to Suffer. But 1t Is Believed That Worst
 ls Now Over.

 Little Rock.-Sunday and Monday rain fell quite generally through many counties of the state, especially in the south and southwest, breaking drouth that had lasted for 20 days. It was the most protracted Juno drouth in 34 years, according to tue local weather bureau and the rain came at time when the crops all over the state were beginning to, sui. fer from lack of moisture. While there Is no way of determining the value of the rainfall, 1t has frequently been said that it was worth millions to the farmers of the state.
 The last appreciable rainfall in Lit tie Rock and vicinity was May 12, when only IS inch fell. and the last heavy rainfall was on May 4, when the precipitation was 1.94 inches. The accumulated deficiency in rainfall since Jan. 1, compared with 34 years average. IS 9 inches.
 The temperatures here have been above the seasonal average since May Ni' hN dNOid dse IldN11nNW TOT IDlA period is S7 degrees and the average minimum 6S. but the temperatures have been from to 10 per cent above these figures since May 21. The one redeeming feature of Sthe weather has been the low humidity, being as low as 4S. against an average of o5, pro- ducing a condition similar to that which exists in Arizona and other arid regions
 The heaviest rainfall appears to have been in Jefferson and Clarke counties, but rain was also reported from Drew. St. Francis, Hot Springs, Pulaski, Pike, Saline, and a few other counties. while some reported con tinuance of the drouth that has burn- ed up garden vegetation and berries. seriously damaged the corn. and threatened the cotton. It is believed. however, that the worst Is over now. and that conditions are favorble for a more general and heavier rainfall

POOR FEED TAKEN
 OFF THE MARKET
MANY REPORTS ON HOT, MoULDY AND ROTTEN CORN CHOPS
 BEING RECEIVED.
FIVE TONS SEIZED ONE DAY
Danger Comes From Feeding This Character of Feed to the Horses
 and Cattle.
ytsterp Newspaper Union News Service.

n
 The Department of Agriculture is very active in the protection of the consumers against poor feed. Last Saturday alone five tons and a half of mouldy, short-weight, or inferior feed vas taken off the market, as fol lows:
 3,7Hs pounds corn chops at Arkan- sas City mouldy, hot and fit only for hog feed.
 s.1S pounds corn chops at McGehee, mouldy.
 4St pounds corn chops at Helena, meuIdy.
 SOs pounds mixed feed at Helena short in weight 6 pounds.
 100 pounds wheat bran, at Marian na, short in weight pounds.
 1,40o pounds wheat bran, al Marian na. hot and mouldy.
 s,seo pounds corn chops at Junction City, 1-2 pounds short
 In explaining this action on the part of the department, Commissioner Page says: We have many reports daily of our inspectors finding hot, mouldy and rotten corn chops It is very important that the greatest care be exercised in handling chops at this season of the year The local dealer is not at fault unless he carelessly ytores the chops where not enough air can get to it, and the manufacturer Is not at Fault unless the goods go out in that condition. The same trou- he appears every spring. It is large, ly because of germination that we have so much trouble with corn chops at this season of the year. The dan ger comes from feeding this character of feed to horses and cattle. It is very important that the feeder know what he is feeding. and does not use t any time hot and mouldy feed. It Is much easier to prevent blind stag gers and such diseases than 1t Is to cure them"

 Tt will be remembered that an amendment was proposed in 1912" says the letter of invitation, "and vot- ed on at the general election that year which would have given to the people of the cities and towns similar rights to those provided by the pres ent amendment. The present proposed amendment, however, in the opinion of Its friends, is better measure than the other one, in that 1t ir more care fully restricted and safe-guarded. The proposed amendment voted on two years ago was carried by a majority of 23,O00 of the votes cast on the sub ject. Sixty-one counties gave majori- ties favoring the proposed amendment. and there was no question in the minds Of of its friends, of is adoption, but the ~eme Court later declared the proI amendment imperative because five amendments had been submitted. when in the opinion of the court only three could properly be submitted. AS the proposed bond amendment was the fifth In point of time to be submitted, 1t and one other amendment were set aside by this de cision"

VILLA RESIGNED
 ONLY FOR A DAY
THEN GEN. CARRANzA RESTORED HIM TO FULL COMMAND OF
 MILITARY OPERATIONS.
BREACH IS QUICKLY HEALED
Villa Objected to Natera Leading As sault on Zacatecas, and Officers
 Agreed With Him.
Western Newspaper Cnion News Service,

Washington.-Offic information reaching the Washington government from American Consul Edwards at Juarez said General Francisco Villa and General Venustiano Carranza, leaders of the Constitutionalist move-, ment in Mexico, have patched up their differnces and Villa will proceed to take charge of the military movement against Zacatecas, where the revolu- tionary forces recently met reverses.
 That General Villa had determined on break with Carranza and had demonstrated his attitude by imprlson- Ing officers in the first Constitutional ist chiefs command, was verified in reports to the State Department. It was declared. however, that Villas action had served the purpose for which it was originated, and that the conqueror of Torreon atnd Saltillo will command the military advance against Huerta from this time forth without interruption.
 Other official dispatches received were that all of the principal Consti- tutionalist officers sided with Villa. and that Carranza had agreed that Villa should take supreme command in the military operations.
 According to the official dispatches differences between Carranza and Villa arose over the Zacatecas attack General Carranza, it is said, insisted that General Natera should lead the assault. Villa insisted that Carranza was being influenced by politicians in the revolutionary movement and determined the only way to meet the situation was to resign as chief of the military forces in northern Mexico. Carranza accepted the resignation and ordered Villa to Chihuahua to assume the military governorship of that state. Immediately, it is said, all of Villas subordinate officers revolted. Carranza then is stated to have restor- ed Villa with instructions to proceed
 Immediately following his restora- tion to command General Villa Is de- clared to have ordered the imprison- ment of men who had stirred up trouble between himself and Carranza
