Westcott Shows Arrive Here for
a Weeks Engagement

The midsummer carnival of the
Laurium park association, the biggest
attraction in the copper country in
connection with the Fourth Of July,
will open i'm the driving park tonight

urday night. The Westcott shows, the
chief attraction Of the event, arrived
this afternoon from lshpeming, and eX-
cept for a few of tho smaller enter
prises, the doors will be open at Z
o'clock. From outward appearances,
the shows are among the best that
have been seen here in connection with
any carnival. The vans are new and
bright, the fronts are in keeping with
the modern carnival enterprise and
the troupe, consisting of more than
two hundred people, has all the APP

Among the big features are Smiths

Statewide Prohibition in Ninth
Commonwealth After Tuesday

charleston. w. Va. June 29.-State-
wide prohibition of the liquor business
In West Virginia becomes effective
next Tuesday midnight. 1t brings the
total number of states in the prohibit

with West Virginia added, the list

nearly fifty per cent OF the country's
population live, according TO the latest
figures Of the prohibition leaders.
The $4,000 majority with which the
people of West Virginia accepted the
dry proposition was relatively the
largest ever given by any state. 1t

the determined stand which many Of
the large employers took in favor OF
their cause. The state has a popula
ton Of l,221,119 by the census OF 1910.
New Method Is Planned.
The mandate of the legislature, en-
| bodied in the Yost bill. for the en-
! forcement OF the new law, beginning
July LIST, departs in many respects
from the methods hitherto tried along
this line. The chief features center
| about the creation of commissioner

ness it will be to see that by next
Tuesday midnight some 1900 liquor
selling places in the state have dis
posed OF their stocks and that there
after all persons shall be punished by
law IL they keep liquor for sale.
The new office OF commissioner of
prohibition automatically falls to
state Tax Commissioner Fred O. Blue

several months in preparation for
strict enforcement of the new law.

OF the law. These armies are the u
ster Volunteers, composed OF Ulster
Protestants which have been forming
FOR more than year and a half, and
| the Nationalist Volunteers who have
been enlisted only few months and
who have a very strong organization
in Belfast itself, and in other parts Of
Ulster, as we'll az in the Catholic
counties OF the South.
There has been startling growth of
| the Nationalist Volunteers during the
last few weeks. 1t is not an arm OF the
Nationalist political party, for its
leaders are the most radical home
rulers who are opposed to any scheme
for the exclusion OF Ulster from the
projected Irish government. Instead
of enmity toward the Ulster protest
ants it shows n wish for an under
standing with them on a platform for
the control Of Irish affairs by Irishmen.

II reports from Belfast are true the
,, Nationalist members Of parliament
have become alarmed by the power OF
the army, and are trying to gain con-
troll by swapping it with enllstments
from the membership of the order of
Hibernians.
While the Ulster Volunteers, with
more than a years training, form a
very efficient military force estimated
at $4,000 armed men, their home rule
imitators are yet a comparatively
crude body. The Covenanters Of VI
ster have modern rifles with bayonets,
a fair supply OF ammunition, and few
gatling guns; their drill and signalling
methods are thorough and up to date
and even the regular army admlres the
swiftness with which they can be mob
ilzed as displayed when they took
charge of a good part of Ulster and
the hlibusterng ship Fanny before
the government realized what was
happening.
The drill of the Home Rulers is yet
that Of amateurs by comparison, but
they are working hard, with many
Irishmen who have been -ccmmis-
stoned officers in British regiments as
their trainers. Their chief want is
money, while the Covenanters have
the richest province in ireland behind
them, and large subscriptions from
English sympathizers.
Half the young men of Belfast are
giving up their nights to drilling and
Sundays to reviews and speechmak-
ing. The two factions keep strictly
20 their own sections, but when de-
tachments of opposing forces meet
they exchange salutes with all the
formalities Of hostile armies during in
a truce.
The common saying is that only
spark is needed for a terrible explo-
sion. The very possibilities Of lighting
a spark amid such a powder factory
compel the leaders to sobriety and
caution.

The log cabin Democrat., 1914-10-08

THE awful carnage of the European war is so tremendously terrible that the human mind becomes benumbed and incapable of grasping its horrors. Hit occurred as an isolated event, any one of the dozens of sanguinary en- agreements which are occurring daily
 would be a shock to the world beside which the Titantic disaster or the San Francisco earthquake, the two most sensational events of a decade, would pale into insignificance. Yet we are already beginning to read with
 complacency every day stories of the most appalling bloodshed and destruc- ton that the world has ever known. The Associated Press devoted five or six lines. and the metropolitan papers printed them under modest headlines, to an official announcement by the German government that 171,OOO Ger man soldiers had been killed in bat tie up to September 1, and that the German losses to date would reach at least 300,O00. The allies losses have doubtless been even greater and 1t IS probably not an exaggeration to es- timate that at least million men have been killed and wounded in a war that has lasted only two months.

ARKANSAS CROPS.

While Arkansas is -eminently a cotton-growing state, her farmers produced a little something besides the feecy staple this year as is shown by the October report just issued by the United States department of ag- riculture. This report gives esti- mates of the production of the prin- cipal crops besides cotton in 1914.
 Assuming that the population of the state is in round numbers mil lion and half, we gather from the es- innate that there were produced for every man, woman and child in Ar kansas about 2S bushels of corn, one bushel of wheat, four bushels of oats, one bushel of potatoes, one bushel of sweet potatoes, two and a quarter bushels of rice, three bushels of apples and 500 pounds of hay. For the average family, there would thus be about five times the quantities named, enough perhaps of every con- modity except wheat, potatoes and hay to supply the needs of the state.
 This does not take into account the production of livestock, poultry and eggs, peaches, berries and dozens of miscellaneous crops of fruits, vege- tables, etc. If Arkansas would only increase its production of foodstuffs sufficiently to furnish it's own bread and meat, the state would soon take rank as one of the most prosperous and wealthy in the union.
