Little Rock Arkansas Inundated

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 23.-
Almost the entire population Of
Newport, Ark, town Of 5000
population, was marooned to-
night by the flood waters of the
White river in the two principal
hotels and courthouse of that
city, according to a. telephone
message received here from the
clerk of one of the hotels.
With the food and water sup
plies nearly exhausted, the town
covered with from five to twelve
feet of water, and railroad traf-
fic stopped, the message said the
situation was becoming desper-
ate. All means of communica-
ton except by telephone have
heen put out of commission and
it was feared the telephone lines
will go down before morning.
Eight persons have been
drowned in the flood, so far as
reported tonight.

Corn ON the Cob at Christmas

The thought of roasting ears
lin the winter time makes the
mouth of the grown-up water"
rs surely as does the thought Of
stick candy or ice cream appeal
lta the appetite of the small boy
with a newly acquired nickel in
his pocket to make the desired
purchase.
| They are not an impossibiity.
In a recent bulletin, Canning
of Fruits and Vegetables on the
Farm" Miss Bah Bell, woman's
lecturer of the State Board Of
Agriculture, gives the method Of
canning corn on the cob. This
should appeal alike to the owner
of a small garden in the city and
to the farm woman.
AS with all vegetables contain
ing but little acid, corn should be
canned the same day as gathered
and as soon after picking as pos
sihle. This will prevent "flat
sour.
| Remove the husks and silk,
and grade for size. Blanch on
the cob in boiling water from 5
to Is minutes; plunge quickly in
to cold water. Pack ears, alter
mating butts and tips, in half
gallon glass jars, sor gallon tin
cans. Pour over boiling hot
water and add two level tea
spoonfulls of salt to each gallon.
Place rubbers and tops in posi-
ton. Seal partially but not
tight. Sterilize in hot water
bath outfit three hours, one per-
iod. Remove the jars and tight
en- the covers.
\ hot water bath outfit can
easily be arranged by placing a
wire or wooden rack in the bot
tom of wash boiler or pail, thus
raising the jars an inch and a
half from the bottom Of the boil
err and preventing their becoming
too hot.
When sweet corn is taken from
the jar or tin can for table use,
remove the ears as soon as the
jar or can is opened. Heat the
corn. slightly buttered, in a
steamer. Do not allow the ears
to stand in water or to be boiled
in water a second time.
The method of canning corn
en-, from the cob is similar to the
method followed in canning the
whole ear.
The recently published bulle-
tin ON canning contains tables
for canning various fruits land
vegetables as we'll as descriptions
of Jars and Gamers. 1t will be
mailed free to Missourians. AID,

Iture. Columbia, Missouri.

Knows Who Lynched Frank.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug 21.-That
Governor Harris has discovered
the identity Of several Of Leo
Franks lynchers was generally
believed today. Arrests were
being delayed, it is said, to avoid
putting the others on their
guard. The governor was re-
ported to have received many
threatening letters. !.
The city council today unani-
mously passed an ordinance max
ing It unlawful to sell in Atlanta
a photograph of the body of a
person who had been hanged il
legally.
Licenses had been issued to 3
persons here to sell photographs
of the body of Frank, taken
while hanging. The council to-
day instructed the city clerk to
revoke the licenses.

GERMANS SINK AN0THER


London, Aug. 20 (Fnday) -.
| I IA German submarine lying II
wait with only its visible eye
sweeping the steamship lane
south Of the coast Of Ireland,
saw its prey yesterday and
quickly and without warning
exploded torpedo against the
hull Of the White Star Line
steamship Arabic.
In IL minutes the steamship
sank, not far from where the
Lusitania was torpedoed. There
were 423 persons on board. OF
these, 1872 were second-cabin
| passengers, 48 in steerage, and
the crew consisted Of 243 per-
sons. There were Is Americans,
81 in the cabin and four in the
steerage.
Three hundred and seventy
five survivors have been landed
at Queenstown. Forty-eight per
sons are missing, of whom six
are said to be passengers.
London is particularly anx-
ious to know if this further and
defiant act Of German U-boat
is to aggravate the strained re-
lations existing between the
United States and Germany.
President Wilson's last note
to the German Government stat
ed specifically that the United
States would insist upon the in
ternational rule of visit and
| search" at sea before vessel
was sunk.
Capt. Will Finch of the Arabic
all his officers and all the pas
sengers who were on the decks
report that the submarine gave
no warning, that the first any
of them knew of the terror s
presence was when terrific ex.
plosion tore great gap in the
starboard HULL, 100 feet from
the stern.
The Arabic left Liverpool
Wednesday at 3 p. m. for New
York with 1870 passengers, 243
in the crew, 1880 bags of first.
class mail for the United States
and 1856 bags of package mail
She also had about 5000 tons Of
cargo.
From the time the Arabic lief,
Liverpool Wednesday afternoon
the British Admiralty believed
every precaution was taker
against German submarines. Shs
was conveyed down the Mersey
by several. torpedo boats, which
followed her down the Irish Ses
and through St. Georges chan
mel.
German submarines have been
common in the channel, sinking
many vessels, and the Arabic
went through under cover OF
darkness. All lights, even the
running lights, were extin
guished, and passengers were
not permitted to have lights il
their staterooms. ..

Her best years record was b.
1922 pounds of milk and 40
pounds of butter.
During the fifteen years this

birth to 12 calves. Her last calf
sold for 5000, and the average
for the IL is about 5000. About
$4,000 was obtained from the sale
of all the calves. Figuring the
entire milk production for Is
years at eight cents quart. the
total would be $4,358.72. The
approximate cost of keeping her
was $50 year, or total of $3.50.
The average daily production
of milk for the Is years MAS q lit
tie more than 8 quarts day.
