FOURTEEN WEEKS
 DROUTH ENDED
General Rains Will Improve Cot ton, Late Corn, Hay Crop
 And Pastures.

The summer of 1914 will go down in the weather records of this section of Arkansas as ex- periencing the greatest drouth in the past forty years, no rain having fallen outside of a few scattered and inconsequential showers from May 4 until Au- gust 10, exactly IA weeks. But the drouth is broken now and the country is rejoicing and thankful for the splendid gener- al rains received Monday and Tuesday, which up to z o'clock Tuesday morning had registered almost 2 inches or to Joe exact |1.88 inches on the government gauge.
 Whether cotton has yet time to put on a new growth that would produce a top crop all de- bends on the lateness of frost, but the mosture received will at least develop the small bolls and present crop. The slow showres and cloudy weather will also prevent much shedding say the best posted farmers and cotton men.
 The bottom lands have as a rule very poor cotton, while the sandy lands are going to yield better than anticipated. The early corn crop was and is a failure, but the present general rains will bring out the late crop, put meadows to growing and pasturage to new life. It is too late for the pea crop to raise peas, but the vines will af- ford hay and many farmers in tend to plant corn broadcast in fields that have no crop, which should grow to waist height and prove valuable help in furnish ing feed for the stock.

United Press Service.

United Press Service.
 San Francisco, August 10. Japan is having desperate troub- les in it's attempts to pacify Formosa, according to arrivals here from the Far East. At the time the Mikado acquired the island, great hopes were enter tained, because of the fertility and natural resources of the country, of making it support a considerable portion of the home country's surplus population. It might be doing this already, say those who have been there recently, were it not for the in tractibility of the natives. Af- ter years of efforts to conquer them with small bodies of troops, many of which were cut to pieces, in the remote inter- for, it is stated that an extensive campaign has been launched in the hope of more speedily ending the constant warfare between natives and Japanese authori- ties.
