The Length OF the War

Various military men, statesmen
and travellers have perdicted that
the European war will he a short
one, and the world hopes they are
good prophets. But there is little
in the situation thus far TO win be-
lievers to the prophecy. Germany
is opposed by at least two peoples
whose chief characteristic is dog
ged resolutions-tbe English and
Russians. The fact that leaders in
both England and Russia believe
the Germans must wear themselves
out finally will add TO the grim de-
termination 10 hang on TO Germany
until they have her by the sbroat.
And the Germans, equipped IN
German thorougbness for lighting,
believing their cause just and be-
lievIng Their very existence at stake,
are prepared to protect the German
throat if It costs rivers of blood and
mountains Of dead men.
If enough men can be slaughtered
within a short time to render one
side or the other helpless 1t will he
a short war. That is about the
only hope now and that is a very
terrible hope.--Arkausas Gazette.

Good Roads DAYS

Governor George w. Hays has
designated Thursday and Friday,
September II and Is, as state good
road days, and has called on the
people to "pull Arkansas out Of the
mud" on those days.
Good road days last year did
much for Arkansas. While a great
deal Of actual road work of an in
telligent sort was done probably a
bigger good to the state was the re-.
newed interest in the good road
movement which resulted. The
people were brought face to face
with the road problem, and the
movement for good roads was ad-
vanced.
The Gazette hopes Governor
HAYS good road proclamation meets
with response as big this year.
1t is good movement, and one the
people should get behind. And it
IS a movement that Governor Hays
started in Arkansas. Arkansas Ga.

LATE WAR NEWS

Queen Elizabeth of Belgium aud
children have arrived in England.
According TO official adsices re-
ceiyed al Washington, France Is
considering the advisabihty of mS-
ing the seat Of government to Bor
deaux.
Great Britain has joined France
IN objectlng to the purchase by the
United States Of German liners in
connection with the plan TO build
up an American merchant marine.
1t Is reported by steamship off
GERS arriving at Honolulu that Brit.
lsh war ships of Hong-Kong are
holding up all vessels, including
those under American flag and re.
moving Germans and Austrians
bound for the scene of hostllities.
Both sides claim victories in the
vast battles raging along the Aus.
trian and German frontiers. Aus
trian dispatches declare that the
Russian army Is being driven back
toward Lublin, in Russian Poland.
Official announcement has been
made in Berlin that 10000, Rus.
slams, including many officers, have
been captured in east Prussia. St.
Petersburg news reports declare that
the Russians continue their advance
into Prussia, and say that fresh
forces of Germans have appeared
on the frontier. This is in line
with announcements that the Ger
mans were shifting troops from the
western to the eastern theater of
war.
The absence of news concerning
the progress of the European war
is today most marked. Not since
the early days of August, when
military operations first took serious
form, has there been such a dearth
of intelligence, official or otherwise.
1t is evident that there is concert
ed effort on the part of both the
English and the French authorities
to keep the world at large in abso-
lutte ignorance Of what is transpir-
ing in northe N France.
No official statements have been
issued in London, Paris or Berlin
and such news as has come to hand
is decidedly fragmentary, unsub
stantlal, of minor importance and
without real significance.
This veil of secrecy, drawn tight
er today than at any time in the
last 30 days may be taken as an H.
dlcation that events of Importance
are transpiring in northern France.
A similar silence was observed dur
ing the fighting around Mons, Cam.
brai and Lecateau last week.

The Graftcd Walnut

The Tucson Citizen has issued English Walnut cdition printed on heavy book paper, calling attention to what will probably become thriving industry in the southern part of the Some years ago. C. R. Bierderman undertook the experiment of grating the English walnut upon the hardy native rock walnut which abounds in southern Pima, Santa Cruz and some parts of Cochise counties The success of the experiment has been demonstrated and, doubt, the raising of English walnuts which has been proved to be such profitable industry in California will be- come one Arizona. The nuts produced by this grating process are of excellent quality and they mature earlier than the coast.
 It may not be generally known, but it is a fact that the town of Nogales took it's anne from the great number of walnut in that region The Arizona walnut tree is much smaller than the walnut of the eastern and middle states which at tain great size in the forests though there is also a smaller walnut tree, commonly found in the fields, probably of second growth which more near ly resembles the Arizona walnut The trees of the larger variety called black walnut" There is little difference in the nuts of the two varieties
 The nut of the Arizona walnut is much smaller and the inner shell is smoother. The husk is thinner but it has the characteristic walnut odor and contains the same colorng juice. The meat though, cannot be distinguished form that of the eastern walnut. The tree has the same fern-like leaf of all trees of the jugans family.
 Only in the leaf is there any resemblance between the American walnut and the English wal nut. which, by the way is not English at all but Is of Persian origin. Nor is the nut in appearance or taste in any degree like the of the Amer- walnut.
 It bears slight resemblance to the hickory nut (also of the juglans famy). though the shell is thinner and fragile and the meat lacks the richness of the hickory nut which is much like that of the pecan in taste

WHY RAIN FOLLOWS RED SUN

While many proverbs dealing with seasonal fore -~ casts are mere fancifu1 pfeasantries found ed on accurate observation and correct reasoning One of these "A red sun bas water in his eye and the condition which gave rise to it is ex- plained by Professor W. J. Humphreys of the United States weather bureau, in discussion of some usi- full weather proverbs
 The condition that most favors a red sun is a great quantity of subsequently, smoke particles in a damp atmosphere. Smoke alone in sufficient quantity will produce this effect hot it is intensified by the presence of moisture
 The blue and other short wave length colors of sunlight both scattered absorbed to greater extent by given amount of dust CT other sub stance, such as water vapor, thar is the red and this effect becomes more pronounced as the parti- cles coalesce
 Hence, when the atmosphere is heavily charged W'th aust particles that have become moisture laden we see the sun fiery ball.
 It has been known that the dust has much t1 do with rainfall since it proved by the psysicst AItken years ago that cloud particles, and, there fore, rain, will not, under ordinary conditions form in perfectly dust free atmosphere but will readily form about dust notes of any kind in atmos- phere that is sufficiently damp red sum- there fore commonly indicates the presence of both of the essential rain eements-that is, dust and moisture.

The manufacture of sugar at Glen dale from valley raised cane has begun in fashion that promises it's success.
 This industry has not been undertaken in hap hazard manner, leaving it's success to the accidents of the future. The who conducting it, with ample capital have investigated all the conditions one is a superior quality cane. and it has been shown that it can be grown in this valley.

 The people of the valley, all of them not merely the men who take active part in forwarding the various interests of the valley have duty to per form toward the new industry, and that is to show their appreciation of it by patronizing it. They can do this by insisting that the money they pay for sugar shall be devoted to making the Glendale sugar factory greater, that it may afford employment to more men and to the cultivation of greater acreages and add to the wealth and increase the opportuni- ties of the valley.
