ARABIC FACTS ARE
NOT YET AT HAND

Washinbto ton, Aug. 2S.-The grav-
ity with viii ch the American gov.
ernment regards the sinking Of the
White Star liner Arabic by a Ger
man submarine, with the loss of
two American lives, was Indicated
tonight when some definite informa.
tion regarding the presidents atti.
tude was obtained from a high
official.
1t was stated that IT Germany at.
tempts to defend the sinking of the
Arabic, without offering good reas.
ons in extenuation, il Is the admin
istration's present intention TO
break of diplomatic relations; and
that this action will be taken within
"a hours after the receipt of the
German communication.
1t Is now generally believed in
official circles that only prompt
dlsavowal by Germany of the sink.
ing of the Arabic can avert a break
between the two governments. The
view here, however, Is that this
would not necessarily mean war.
1t is well understood that President
Wilson's opinion is that the lreak.
ing off of diplomatic relations need
not prove hostilities.

White Sweet Clover

f. Spinnenweber of this city has
made demonstration with White
Sweet Clover this season which is
entitled TO some consideration by
the farmers of our county. From
a small patch sown IN the garden be
secured two bushels of seed. This
clover is very different from the
ordinary white clover, it being
more on the order Of alfalfa, in
that it can be harvested three OF
four times during the season. If
left alone it grows to a heighth OF
seven or eight feet on ordinary
good land. DR.. w. 4. Hughes ID
also very much interested in this
clover and says 1t is about the best
all round hay crop than can be
grown, on either bottom or upland.
He has some specimens of this
clover on exhibition IN his office.

Wheat Market viii Close

A report from K. e Pace, who
has been buying wheat here for
several weeks past, shows that he
has shipped little more than TO-.
600 bushels from this point, for
which he has paid about $4,000.
The market will close this week
unless arrangements can be made
to have wheat delivered here in car
load lots on certain days, as the
expense of holding cars until they
can be loaded In the usual way Is
too great to justify keeping the
market open.

GREAT FLOODS DESTROY MUCH
PROPERTY IN NORTH ARKANSAS

Property loss amounting to many
thousands Of dollars Is the result OF
the four days continuous rain which
fell all over this section Of ArkaL
sas aud Southeast Missouri last
week.
Never before IN the history Of
this county has the loss from floods
been so great as it was on this oc
oasion. All the rivers and creeks
overHowed their banks, carrying
everything IN the valleys TO des-
traction. Black, Current, Eleven
points, Spring and Fourche did the
principle damage in this county.
The water in these streams rose
higher than was ever known before
and everything in the valleys was
flooded at a depth of from four TO
twenty feet. Thousands of acres
Of fine corn, hay and other crops
have been totally destroyed aud
hundreds have been badly dam
aged by water aud winds, causing a
tremendous loss TO the farmers Of
the county. Washouts occurred at
many points on the Frisco railroad
aud traffic from this point north was
stopped last Friday. No mail Of
any consequence was received here
from Friday until Wednesday when
large batch was brought over
from Hoxie on a hand car. A 10.
cal freight train started north
"Wednesday morning but got no
further than Poluca on account OF
the condition Of the track and road.
bed. To the south there has been
no washouts so far. A large force
Of workmen are engaged in repair

resumed today or tomorrow.
On Spring river the property loss
TO the railroad company, as well al
to the citizens living thereon, i,
great, many washouts are reported
and traffic has been tied up since
last Thursday. The approach tc
Imboden bridge, on the Randolph
county side was washed away,
The other property loss on this
river Is heavy.
J 1t has been reported that family
at Peach Tree Point on Current
river, and another at Scotts ferry
on Black river, were drowned Sun
day, but nothing definite concern
ing the report can be obtained al
this time. 1t is feared that much
stock has been drowned in the larg.
er river bottoms.
A hard, but successful fight wa:
made to save the Black river leveC
at ,he Armstrong place, east oi
Pocahontas. A large number oI
men with teams began the
work of strengthening the levee
Monday. Hundreds Of sacks, foI
sandbagging purposes, were sent up

from Pocahontas aud quite mum
ber Of men led by Sheriff Russell,
went along TO assist IN the work.
Al times il appeared that the water
would break over, but the hard
work Of willing hand prevented
and as 4 result hundreds of acres Of
fine crops in that section Of the
county have been saved.
The levee at the Carter farm
broke early in the week and oonsid
erabls damage resulted to crops in
the immediate vicinity. Mr.. Car.
ter says, however, that most Of the
men on his farm have plenty left,
The greatest damage and loss Of
life probably m tins section Of the
state was caused by White River.
II Is said that practically the en-.
tire population Of Newport is living
upstairs, water being several feet
deep over the entire town. Eight
persons are reported to have
been drowned in the food waters
near there. Two washouts have
occurred on the Iron Mountain rail.
road at that place. The report
that the bridge had went down is
false. The Batesville branch of the
Iron Mountain road has been washed
out in many places and IL will be
some time before traffic can be re.
sum ed. At BatesvIlle, Jackson
port and other points up the river
the damage is great. The damage
to crops IN the White river valley
will run into the hundreds of thous.
ands Of dollars.
The present stage of the water Is
higher than for Is years, and the
river at points above Newport has
exceeded the record by the govern.
ment for 05 years. Hundreds of
head of stock driven out of the
bottoms by the waters are roaming
the railroad right of.way o. New
port aud vicinity.
NorthwestArkansas, up and down
the M. II n. A. railroad, was hard
hit. Several washouts are reported
and much damage to crops and
other property.
In southwest Arkansas the people
are experiencing their fourth food
for this season. Four times this
year has the Red liver overfowed
the crops ID that section of the
state. These calamities added to
the crop failure of last year makes
the situation indeed serious.
More than 800 dead and missing
and millions of dollars worth of
property destroyed is reported as
the result of the great storms that
swept over Texas last week.
In the vicinity of st. Louis, Mo. ,
aud down the Mississippi river
several lives were lost and much
property was destroyed.

THE PLAY LAST NIGHT

In spite of the very bad weather,
an appreciative audience last night
greeted the dramatization of Harold
Bell Wright's novel, the winning of
Barbara Worth"
Barbara Worth bids certain to be-
come a fixed character in dramatic
literature. In no other work of fic-
ton than the one in which her life
story is told, has there ben pictured
woman so characteristic, so typical
of Western America. She is the wo-
man who while saturated with the
wisdom of ages, is none the less clean,
wholesome, unspoiled, untainted by
worldiness. Child found in 'SThe Hol-
low of the Hand of God" imbued with
the spirit of the desert, the mystery
of nature inspires her soul and keeps
her in harmony with the infinite. 1t
is never of the present she thinks,
but her eyes are fixed ever on that
time to come when her desert shall
become the abode of thousands of
prosperous farmers, the home of we'll
doing men and women whose children
will grow up out-of-doors warmed at
the heart Of Mother Nature, strong,
valiant, wholesome sons and daught-
ers to form a working leaven in So
ciety.
Like the author, Harold Bell
Wright, the dramatist, Mark E. Swan
drew with unfaltering hands a figure
which must ever stand as a symbol of
all that is strong and clean and
wholesome in womanhood. He made
Barbara Worth the daughter of the
East, woman we'll worth winning,
such one as in olden times men went
to battle to win.
