things are equal In considering men
from the angle of friends and k:ns-

not its best to risk second rate abili-
ty fellows for our choice or choose
those OF true and tried or unoues-

discharged our duty as sovereign
voter and one unit in the whole
measure that goes to make for a
sound democratic form of govern

another four years along the most
enlightened progre ssive lines. With
this said we leave il TO the electors
OF our county to solve the problem

MERAMEC FLOOD
 DROWNS TWELVE, 100 ARE MISSING
Third Calamity in Three Days Destroys Million in Property and Leaves 100I Homeless in St Louis.

Springfield, Mo-, Aug. 23.- Two more inches of rain today started rivers, already swollen, on another rampage. The train service of the Frisco is badly demoralized by washouts be- tween Springfield and St. Louis and between Springfield and Memphis. Mail and passengers are being routed by way of Ft. Smith, Ark. for southern poins. The Spring River bridge at Im- boden, Ark, went out yesterday.
 St. Louis County recovered somewhat today from a third calamity.in as many days-a flood which snuffed out at least twelve lives, possibly many more, de- stroyed more than million dol lars worth of property and made two t ousand families homeless.
 Twelve deaths had been re- ported to the coroner this morn ing, and almost 100 persons were isted as missing. It is feared the falling of the Meramec to- day may disclose a heavy toll in human lives. River men said the bodies of many drowned probably would be washed into he Mississippi River, carried far town stream and might not be ecovered soon because of the nass of flood debris now in the iver and of it's unusually strong current. -z~
 The Meramec River, which rose swiftly Saturday night and Sunday, flooding a large part of the manufacturing and summer resort town of Valley Park, nine- teen miles southwest of St. Louis, fell rapidly today. making pos jible careful inquiry to deter mine the extent of the flood damage.
 Reports of drowning were un- confirmed today at 10 a. m., -hough the coroner of St. Louis 'ounty last night said twelve lrownings had been reported to Jim. None was missing in Val ley Park today, so far as could )e learned, though $500 !persons nave been driven from their homes.

Washington. Aug. 23.-Secre- tary Lansing today cabled Am bassador Gerard at Berlin, ask ing if the German government had received an official report on the sinking of the White Star Liner Arabic.
 The ambassador, however, was not instructed to ask for one. It was stated officially that the American government is not yet at all sure of the facts, and con- siders its information very frag- mentary.

BANK OF AMITY IS
 ROBBED AT PPM,
Bold Bandits Force Cashier to- Put $l,2OO in a Sack and
 Flee With It.

Amity, Aug. 24. Two daring bandits held up Assistant Cash. fer E. w. Fincher in the Bank Of Amity at 2 o'clock this after noon, forced him to place in a sack that they held, $1, 200. alT the cash on hand, and escaped on horses which they had left in waiting. They locked MT. Fincher in the bank vault from which he aroused the town by means of a burglar alarm. The residents exchanged several shots with the bold marauders, but no. one was struck.
 The men had been in Amitv since yesterday morning. They frequented the stores and told inquirers that they were cowboys from Oklahoma. They were of disreputable appearance and seemed anxious to create the impression that they were bad men," for they frequently ex-- hibited their guns.
 Mir. Fincher was alone in the bank when the pair entered 
 They covered him with their re- volvers and forced him to place in the sack all the cash in the bank. They then locked him in the bank vault and leisurely walked down the street to the place where they had tied their horses.
 In the meantime, Mir. Fincherw in the bank vault, was frantical- ly pushing the burglar alarm button. A crowd quickly gather ed and as the two men started to ride away, two shots were fired from the crowd. The rob bers responded with two shots fired in the air and galloped away.
 w. c. Hays, store keeper, was notified, and as the men galloped past his store, he rushed out fired two shots at them. They were too far away for the shots. to take effect and they paid no attention to him. They disap- peared riding in the direction of Oklanoma.
 A general alarm has been sent out to officers of all adjoining counties.
 The banks loss is fully pro- tected by a policy in the Aetna Life Insurance Company, of which Gordon H. Campbell and Hugh D. Hart of Little Rock are state agents.

CHAUTAUOUA
 STARTS MONDAY
Season Tickets Purchased Before
 Saturday Only $1.5O.

The second annual Prescott Chautauqua will open on next Monday, and the program this year is of special interest. If you have not read one of the program booklets, be sure and secure one from any of the stores and after reading it over you will decide at once you want a ticket.
 This educational program comes to Prescott because twenty-one business men have given a guar antee of four hundred advance sale of season tickets. This number, half of which have al- ready been sold, will sell for $1.50 for all ten programs. If you desire to receive tickets at this reduced price. you had bet ter phone a merchant who has tickets and make sure of it.
 Tickets sold at the gate cost $2.00 and does not help the local guarantors, so the business men wish you to buy your ticket from them, and thus save for yourself and help them.
 Be sure and be on hand for opening program Monday after noon, for The Glen Wells Go. " are just the people to open a Chautauqua. And the lecture by pr. D. T. Robertson is worth goirg miles to hear. And when you hear the first program you will want to hear all the rest.
 Ben L. Knight, who was in Prescott last year ahead of the Chautauqua, and who is known to a number of our people, will be superintendent. He is now in Prescott completing arrange ments, and promises a much stronger program this year than that of last.

GAS LINE GOES OUT
 4TH TIME THIS YEAR
Water Eight Feet Over Main 1T Red River Bottom-Levee
 Washed Away.

Little Rocks gas supply was cut off for the fourth time this year at 6:30 o'clock last night when the temporary main of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company gave way at Jackson's bridge near Lewisville. H. l.. Snyder, superintendent of the company, received news of the break at 8 o'clock last night. He will go to the seer e today.
 Red river at Fulton had gone to % feet and still was rising at 8 o'clock. Where the break oc- cured, water was eight feet deep over the gas main. Officials had predicted the main would with stand the flood, but the precaut- ions taken after the third break were of no avail.
 
 Mir. Snyder last night predict ed the supply of gas in the pipes will be sufficient to supply con- sumerS here until noon tomor- row. He believes the river will fall rapidly after tomorrow and that repairs may be completed by the last of this week. Work being done ol the permanent main mar where the break oc- cured was not damaged.

 Official announcement W a 5 made at the White House today that as soon as all the facts regarding the Arabic are ascert- aimed our course of action will be determined"
 The official announcement was given out by Secretary Humility after a conference with Presi- dent Wilson. MT. Tumulty said the statement was all he was authorized to say.
 The statement bore out prev. ious official statements made at White House and state depart ment that President Wilson had not determined what action the American government would take and would suspend judge ment while awaiting receipt of all available facts.
 From the fact that Ambassad- or Gerard was not directed to seek an explanation, the infer ence was drawn that the state department had decided to let the German government initiate any explanation it may have to offer.
 Final reports concerning the sinking of the Arabic were await ed by administration officials to- day, pending the receipt of which the attitude of the United States government remains undetermin- ed.
 It seems to have been settled that the Arabic was torpedoed without warning. The point in doubt now, is as to whethe Germany will claim the change of course of the liner just before she was attacked led the submar- inc commander to believe she was attempting a hostile act against him. Ambassador Ger ard at Berlin is expected to throw light on this point. Upon his report probably will depend the decision of the Washington government as to whether Ger many has committed a "deliber- ately unfriendly" act.
 Meanwhile the administration IS maintaining an open mind, and no statement as to the coulse to be pursued will be issued.
