not quite SO strong, but the steamer

Disappearing In Smoke.

A war correspondent of the Rotter.
dam Courant reports observing new
method of concealing airships in the
vicinity of Roulers.
He says he was watching German
aviators who were being shelled by
French artillery when suddenly the
aeroplane disappeared in the midst Of
huge brown-colored cloud which
was too large to be the result of an ex-
plosive.
He continued to watch the aero.
planes and noticed that they produced
a similar cloud of smoke the moment
they were subjected to bombardment,
and in few moments, thanks to this
cloud, they became perfectly invisible
and made it impossible for the gun
ners to aim at the machine.

Again Granser's eyes burned with

after darkness had come in the early
days Of September, we padded our
canoe alongside the company's boat

unload. A CHEEKY fire in the saloon, a

is a question. and they make the real

Arkansas Cumberland College

Arkansas Cumberland College, Clarksville, Arkansas, has canned 1000 quarts of big Elbertas for winter use in the dormitories and some 500 gallons of peach pickles will be added. This in- stitution purchases it's groceries of wholesalers and employs student labor in the dormitories and college buildings generally speaking. Thus it is that this institution can offer board at living figures, $1O0.00 for nine months. Tuition is very reason able simply because the college has nice endowment and re- ceives annually considerable sums in the way of donations.

Cutting and Curing Pea Hay

Peas should be cut for hay when the first yellow pods are seen. If cut later, too many of the leaves are lost, and, as they contain a great deal of nutri-., ment, the vines should be cut when the leaves will not shatter off, also. at this stage the vines will not be woody and coarse after they are dry and cured. Peas should be cut after the dew dries off in the morning and al- lowed to wilt before raking into windrows, If no rain has fallen for two or more weeks and the surface of the ground is thor 'oughly dry, the vines can be baled from the windrow in about four days, but they should be thoroughly tested for moisture by taking a small handful and ] twisting it very hard. If any moisture appears, they should be left a few days longer and then baled, about 40 pounds in a bale, and allowed to stand on end for two or three days before housing. If the weather is cloudy, the vines should be thrown into small shocks, or, better still. stacked around g pole. The hay will cure nicely and retain it's color and flavor ir these small stacks and can be baled a month later.

Random Rays From the
 Capitol City
By CLIO HARPER

Little Rock, Aug. 23-A TO- nance of the Arkansas Press Association developed here Sun- day afternoon when two of its most prominent and best known members were married. J. c. Riley. of the Walnut Ridge Blade, and Mrs. Sallie I. Standfield, of the Rison Herald, were the con- tracting parties.
 Col. Riley and Mrs. Standfield first met on the occasion of the annual press excursion into Northeastern Arkansas in 1914, and the acquaintance gformed then ripened into a warmer affection last May, when both were on the excursion with the Association to Harrison and Eureka Springs.

 The fact that the Water Co. has never met its contract with the city was brought out by the speakers and after a statement by several that it had thus violated it's franchise. a motion was made that this meeting recommend to the City Council that they declare the Water Franchise null and void" The motion had hardly been made before there were three or four seconds to it in various parts of the house showing very plainly the sentiment of the tax payers in the matter of dealing with the water company. c. F. Greenlee here claimed that the motion was out of order as the meeting was called to dis cuss municipal ownership and no vote was taken. The real senti- ment of the people present. how ever could very readily be under stood.
 Alderman Al Hammon in a very plain way called attention to the fact that the city MUST have additional revenue to pay the Water & Light Company and run the city.
 A motion was made and unani- mously carried, rejecting Mana ger Thompson's proposition to sell his plant to the city.

On Tuesday evening at the City Hall a mass meeting O. citizens was held to consider the offer of J. E. Thompson, the light and water plant promoter and owner. to sell his Brinkley plant to the city.
 At a meeting held a week ago a committee composed of J. H. Stack, T. c. Simmons and Tim Shults was appointed to look in- to MT. Thompson's proposition and his statements showing that his plant was making net be- tween $5,000 and $6.000 per year in present conditions. At the meeting Tuesday night Mayor James Grant was elected to preside. The committee re- ported that Thompson had filed 
 with them an itemized state- ment of his plant and the earn ings in which he claimed and set forth that the plant netted in round numbers about $5, 600. % last year, and he had submitted a written proposition to sell to the city for about $52, 500. %. With this report the special meeting at once begun to be a ''brisk one" and it is said there hasn't been a meeting held for many day where more real interest was appearantly mani- fested by all present.
