FL PAS0 WORKEDT TWO YEARS FOR ASSOCIATION
Had Delegation of Twenty Boosters led by MayOr-Texarkana Began Two Weeks ago and Secre-
 tary Hodges led Boosters.

Little Rock, June 16.-Gov. Hays has issued a proclamation granting to Gentry the privilege of holding a spe clal election as a second class city under the provisions of the Toier Act passed by the last legislature.
 Little Rock, June 16-The story of how Texarkana failed to land the 1916 convention of the Texas Press Ass ociation, to meet joinly with the Ark ansas Association, is proof of what can be accomplished by persistent boosting.
 Fl Paso landed it, but had been working for 1t for two years, and had delegation or twenty boosters led by their mayor to pull for it. Texark ana began only two weeks ago, and Earle W. Hodges sectary of the Ark. ansas Association, was the principe booster, at the recent meeting held at Corpus Christi. There were five in vations and three ballots, Texarkana being second on each. It received 43 on the first, and 53 on the second, while the deciding ballot stood ElPaso 86, TeXarkana 66. Then they voted to meet in Texarkana in 1917, and elect ed MT. Hodges life member of the Association and put him on the pro- gram for the ElPaso meeting. They are very much interested in the Ark ansas Publicity Act in Texas, and con- template the initiation of an act simi- lar to it. There is less legal printing in Texas than in any state in the Un- ion. Official publicity is still secured by means of posting notices on the court house door. The sale of delin- puent tax lands is even published in this archaic way, and the Texas pud- fishers are fearing a valuable lesson from their Arkansas brethern.

FIRST TO BEAT BIG AIRSHIP

|, Great Battle In Skies Youthful British Aviator Destroys Huge Ger nan Dirigibe-His Machine Turns somersault and Falls Within Foes Lines. but He Escapes.
 surpassing in his exploit all the i'm ,cories of Jules Verne or H. c. Wells and providing one of the real romances of the war, Subleutenant Reginald Alexander John Warneford, a Cana dian. is the first man to destroy a zeppelin in flight. And the feat is re- earded as all the more remarkable, since the aviator less than four months ago made his first voyage into the air.
 For all time Warneford has become national hero and his lone battle in the skies will take place alongside the most brilliant tales in British mil itary history. His V. c. was the first ever given for the conquest of one of the monster air craft which are throwing the women and children of London and the eastern coast of Eng land into panic.
 It was about half past ? o'clock in the morning when Warneford was re- turning from raid over German sup ply depots north of Brussels that he deserted far off to the west, between Brussels and Ghent, what seemed to him 10 be an airship flying low over the ground.
 Swift Race Upward.
 Swiftly shifting his elevating planes, the young officer fed more fuel to his motors and began rapid upward spiral It was only a few minutes be- fore the great Dreadnought of the skies loomed large below him, and its crew at the same time sighted him. Then began a struggle for position
 It was a battle of n David and q Goliath, or, to take more apt simile, wasp and an eagle. with victory for the little, buzZing, quick darting de Stroycr of the air.
 As the dirigibe's stern was lowered she shot as though from giant cata- putt almost perpendicularly into the air Her engines, aided by her buoy ancy, made her ascent much more rap Id than that of the tiny aeropane, but sublieutenant Warneford had the ad vantage of time, and at the end of twenty minutes he had maneuvered to a point almost directly above the Zeppelin and to height of more than 8,000 feet.
 While still climbing to good tao ucal position the young aviator saw the puif-puff of the machine gun mount ed atop the dirigihle, and above the cronmg If his motor he heard the

whir of the bullets singing past his ears. Then, glancing earthward at the vast bulk of his antagonist directly be- low him, he released the trigger hold ing bomb. It tore through the Zep- pelin's envelope. Only wisp of smoke followed.
 Won With Last Bomb.
 The aviator released bomb after bomb. Only minor explosions resulted. But with the last missile in his rack he reached his target,
 When this bomb was dropped Sub lieutenant Warneford was only a few hundred feet above the dirigible. A terrific explosion followed and a burst of flame spread instantaneously from bow to stern of the Zeppelin.
 Caught in the whirlpool of air cur rents caused by the explosion, the aero plane turned completely over and started dash to earth. Hanging head downward, with his flaming victim crashing earthward below him, the av- fator fought for control of his ma chine. After drop of 2,00O feet he succeeded in swinging the machine into loop the loop figure and then to an even keel. But he had to descend, and he landed in an open field within the German lines.
 After moments pause to obtain his bearings and before German detach- ment half a mile off could train their piHnc him Nnt,nofnr1 ho1 ed his breath. He set his propeller in motion again and was winging his way swiftly to the British headquarters
 Fell a Tangled Mass.
 The Zeppelin fell tangled mass of ruins across an orphanage near Ghent, its frame blackened and twisted, its crew of twenty-eight men dead be- meath it, together with two nuns. two children and man dead where they were crushed in the orphanage. the Grand Beguinage de St. Elisabeth. one of the best known conyents in Bel. gium. The burning mass set fire to the buildings. which were inhabited not only by nuns but by large mum per o! hClGEUn women ana 'cullufeh refugees Terrible scenes followed. The man who was killed lost his life attempting to rescue his child, who also was Killed.
 It is believed in London that the Xpp- pelin was returning from the east coast of England, where it had killed five and wounded forty persons.
 Sublleutenant Warneford learned to fly last winter at the royal naval air station at Tendon, near London, under Commander John Cyril Porte. formerly of the Wanamaker transatlantic expe- dition. He took his certificate from the Royal Aero club as pilot on Feb. i5 fast.

HE STARTED EMPTY HANDED

sCenti WnO m TeW seasons SaVoo
 $s,ooo, Bought 32o Acres For s2s,ooo
 and Had Fine Supply of Stock and
 Machinery.
 Charles Shade, president of the First National bank of Rock Rapids, Ia., tells the story of the remarkable sue cess of young farmer of his vicinity who started in empty handed and in six years was able to buy a $2S,O0O farm. When the purchase was made he paid down $S,O00, gained in the six year period, and had free and clear $6,700 worth of stock and machinery.
 The young man is German by de- scent, born and reared in our own country. His people are hard working farmers, so that he had the proper training. His name is John Busch.
 After reaching his majority he began farming on his own account in 1908, renting eighty acres for one-third of the small grain and $4 an acre. His father gave him two horses. and he used his fathers machinery. The bank loaned him $500 to buy hogs and cattle.
 In 1909 he rented a half section (320 acres) of land and purchased machin- cry of his own and more horses. The seasons of 1909 and 1910 were good, and he added more stock, horses and machinery.
 In 1911 the bank loaned him an addi- tional $500, making his total indebted ness $1, 100. The seasons crop was large and the price good. He sold suf- ficient grain to pay up all the money borrowed and to liquidate other small debts made in buying machinery, cat tie. horses and hogs, so that In the spring of 1912 he had all of his debts paid.
 Out of the crop of 1913 after paying current expenses and without selling the cattle and hogs he had about $2,000 in money which he banked.
 During the crop season of 1914 he planted 200 acres of corn This aver aged about sixty bushels an acre and was worth better than 90 cents a bush el. By the 1St of December 1914, out of the proceeds of this crop and the sale of cattle and hogs, after paying current expenses, Busch banked $5,00O, making in all 5000.
 He purchased q 1G0 acre farm in No yember. 191i. and promised to pay for 1t S2S000, $SGO0 cash down and long time on the balance at per cent. The land was deeded to him, and he gave q mortgage back for S20,000. The bank loaned him $1,O00 for sixty days. as sisting him to make up the $S000. In January he disposed of hogs sufficient to pay back the $1 ,000

S65,0OO REFUNDED
 STATE TREASURER
Expended in Fighting Freight Rate Case Behalf of Shippers all Refunded-Amount Paid out
 Within Half Hour.

Little Rock, June 16-The $65,000 which the state had expended in fighting the freighting rate cases, on behalf of the shippers of the state, has been refunded to the State Treas ury ,$16,000 paid a week ago by the Cotton Belt, and $4S,750 paid by the Iron Mountain through Judge J. M. Hill of Fort Smith, special council for the state
 The Iron Mountains contribution was paid in early Tuesday morning, but there was a long line of warrant holders awaiting it, and in about half an hour there wasn't a dime left. An unofficial statement had gone out that the money was not to be paid until Wednesday or Thursday, or there would have been a much larger army of the states creditors present to have had a chance at the first real money seen in the General Revenue Fund in many a day. Judge Hill himself drew balance of $9,000 having received S16,000 from the Cotton Belt payment then Judge Kirby and the estate of Judge Harrod, as special counsel in the rate cases, drew $5,000 each. The Railroad Commission got $2,S00 to pay for past services by Haskins X Sells in the rate cases, and $6,OO0, appropriated by the legislature, for fighting the Frisco rate cases. The Tuberculosis Sanitarium got $3,800 on its warrants, and the rest of all went in smaller sums until 1t had dwindled to the diminishing point.

Department

Washington. - Postmaster General
Burleson's annual report says the
European war has cost the American
postal service S21, 100000, but that
economies of administration have re-
duced the audit deficit to little more
than $11,000,000 for the fiscal year

Recommendations.
Chief among recommendations are
renewal of recommendation for gov
eminent ownership of telegraphs and
telephones; removal of the four-pound
limit on first-class mail, adoption OF
more liberal limitations on weight and
insurance Of parcel post packages.
The great expansion was in the
parcel post. Statistics gathered from

half of all the postal business, and

AUSTRIA MUST
DEN0UNCE ACT
State Departm emit Sends vigor.
Gus Note to King Ferdinand
CERTAIN DEMANDS ARE MADE
Punishment of Commander Of Subra.
rines Who Fired on the Anoona
Is Required and Indemnity Prom
ised for Americans Lost

Washington.-It rests with Austria
to say whether there will be a break
with the United States within the
next few days. The state department
made public the text of its note ON
the sinking of the Italian steamship
Ancona in the Mediterranean Novem-
Der with the loss of several Amer
lean lives.
The note gives plain notice that
unless the demands of the United
States are met promptly. friendly re-
lations between the two governments
will be broken off 1t is the most i'm.
perative communication sent by the
United States to any government
since the beginning of the war, and
one of the most severe in diplomatic
history.
U. S. Not Optimistic.
Officials of the state department are
not optimistic as to the future. The
opinion is expressed quite freely that
Austria is not likely to give in.
Austria is informed that the world
condemns the act as "inhumane and
barbarous," and that it is "abhorrent
to all civilized nations"
Demands of u. s.
The United States demands:
That the imperial and royal gov
eminent denounce the sinking OF the
AncOna as an illegal and indefensible
act:
THAT the officer who perpetrated
the deed be punished
THAT reparation by the payment OF
an indemnity be made for the citi.
1ens OF the United States who were
killed or injured by the attack on the
vessel"
The note says this government ex-
poets that Austria. "apprecia ting the
gravity of the case will accede to its
demands promptly"
