Help to Make This City Most Attractive One

Hot Springs is resort town, first,
last and all the time and as such
should be one of the most attractive
cities in the country And it is. But
to keep it 80 every one should do their
share. The city has had force OF men
working Of late cleaning the refuse
from the river banks and also trimming
the trees along the streets and the
parks. Most Of the people are taking
more pride in their yards and lawns but
those few who don't should be per-
.uaded to do so. Keep the unsightly
rubbish hauled away and the natural
beauty of the city is bound to receive
the praise of every visitor. And those
visitors are what we want. For every
one who comes here and is favorably
impressed Hot Springs will not only
profit by it Immediately, but in last
ing way from the great inflex of tour
lists. They will come again next year.
and with them will be relatives and
friends, until we are entertaining the
year around an endless chain of visit
ors. with countless numbers of these
returning to make homes with us
which is the best part Of it after all.

Arrah l.. Hungerford. the newly

shape. New bridges we're put in last

cation at this good roads convention
and the result was that Sidney. Al
lance and other cities on the Lincoln

sending tourists north thru the Hills
via that place. One feature of this new
road question that Mr. Hungerford
wanted impressed on the Hot Springs
people was that the tourist travel this
summer WAS sure to be heavy and in
order for Hot Springs to get her share
it would be necessary and not only
necessary but the proper thing to do
for them to see that this county con-
meets with their state line road First

minimum expense thus causing the
travel to come by the way Of the Chey.

"SMITH" AT
MORRIS GRAND
HIGH SCHOOL PLAY GIVEN SAT-
URDAY EVENING
PLAYED TO PACKED HOUSE
PERFORMANCE WAS One OF MERIT
and WAS WELL RECEIVED BY
LARGE AUDIENCE

"Smith" was the title of the Junior
GLASS play which was put on at the
Morris Grand on last Saturday even
ing. 1t is production that even now
is being staged by we'll known people
in the larger cities and to say that the
cast Saturday presented it in a credit
able manner is putting it mildly. They
we're far above the average and more
than pleased the large audience
present.
The scenes OF the play we're laid in
England with modern society and it's
frivolous way of living as the theme,
with an Australian ranch owner, who
was formerly one of the London society
bsaus, and "Smith." a servant, enact
ing the leading roles.
Miss Dorothy Leach took the very
interesting part of "smith" and por-
trayed it in very creditable manner
AS the servant she was all attention
but her manner of reasoning and the
heart interest part stamps her az reg
ular actress. There we're many anus.
ing lines and funny situations.
Ross Mcgowan was cast for the part
of Thomas Freeman, the returned
ranch owner. His was very unusual
part and for young man whose stage
experience is limited he displayed an
unusual. amount Of knowledge OF
the business of the part and WAS ex-
ceptionally good.
Flo Barns as Mrs. Dallas Baker play
ed her part to perfection. She was al
for "bridge" and Algernon regardless
OF the consequences and the domestic
troubles which arose frequently were
as near the real thing as possible.
Roy Williams took the part of Her
bert Dallas-Baker, the henpecked enc
very much abused husband of Mrs
Dallas-Baker. Besides getting hi
lines across in proper manner b,
looked the part in his makeup.
Dean Eastman impersonated Algernol
Peppercorn, much too frequen
adjunct to some classes of society. Hi
principal object in life was to anus
the people whom he called his patrons
He was supposed to auto. golf, pla.
bridge and be An all around hand,

MEAT PRODUCTION INCREASES


Nearly 100000 Cattle and 100000 Sheep
Warrington, April 23: Receipts from
grazing permits on the National For
ests for the season of 1915 will CON
tribute to the public revenues approx
mately 81 200, 600 or about 100000 more
than last year, according to an esti-
mate made from the allowances Just
authorized by the Secretary of Agri.
culture. The forests this year will
furnish forage for 1883, 775 cattle and
horses, 8, ,o25 sheep and goats, and
6i,O4O swine, the figures indicating q
material increase of meat production
on the government-regulsted ranges.
The increase of 92658 cattle and
horses over the allowances for 1914 is
accompanied by decrease of l2O,S8l
sheep and goats, showing that in many
parts of the west sheep are giving way
to cattle. 1t is thought that the
recent high price Of beef has been en-.
coursging many farmers and former
sheepmen to go into the cattle bust
ness, though it will be the first time in
the last five years that the allowance
of sheep has not increased over that of
the previous season. There are To-
calities. however, where the demand
for sheep range is far in excess of the
supply.
The grazing charges are slightly
higher this year. In the west the rates
have been fixed at 4S to 80 cents per
head per year for cattle and horses,
and twelve to eighteen cents for sheep
and goats; in the east the rates are
from eighty-tive cents to Sl.5O for
cattle, sLlO to $500 for horses and
twenty-five to forty cents for sheep
and goats. A charge of twenty-nine
to forty three cents in the west and
fifty to ninety cents in the east, is
made for swine.
The grazing allowances indicate the
relative Importance of the stock busi-
ness in the various parts of the west in
which the National Forests are situat-
ed. The forests in district two, which
embraces Colorado, Wyoming. South
Dakota, Nebraska, western Kansas,

U. S. SUBMARINES ARE
BUILT THE STRONGEST
Our UnderSea Graft Beat Those
OF Other Nations.

Washington.-What else may be
said of the submarine torpedo boats of
the United States, naval experts ia
miliar with this type of craft are con-
fident that the underwater boats of no
other nation are built on stronger lines.
In fact, naval officers say that none of
the great world powers requires the
construction of submarines to resist
anything like the great water pressure
that is required of American subma-
rines.
Submarines built for the American
navy must have hull strength sufficient
to resist the pressure of the ocean at
a depth of 300 feet Before these deli
cate craft are accepted they must have
withstood pressure at a depth around
210 feet, which is deemed sufficient,
but must be strong enough to so much
lower. British and German subma-
rines are not required to stand pressure
at 800 feet, the requirement usually
running around 200 feet German sub
marines, as a rule. are tested at depth
around 80 feet and those of the Brit
OF all submarine defects those af-
fecting the propelling engines have
been most numerous and bothersome.
The development of this type of en-
CINE has been very gradual. Until
very recently, however, engine trouble
has been of common occurrence in sub
marines. and the work of construction
has been delayed more by engine de-
fects probably than from all other de-
fects combined.
For example, while the contracts for
submarines usually call for delivery
within two years, it has been under
stood at all times that the vessels
could not be completed and delivered
In that time, and the reason given al
ways has been the engines. 1t is be-
lieyed. however, that the submarine
engines have been so far perfected
that from now on delivery of the boats
may be confidently expected within
the contract period. Naval experts
ccncede that Germany may have a su-
perior submarine engine
While deeply regretting the loss of
the F-4. with its crew OF twenty-five
men, naval officers take pride In the
fact that that was the only fatal acct
dent to an American submarine, while
similar accidents have happened to
the submarines of the big European
nations on more than one occasion.
But submarine cruising is hazardous
at best. The structure of a subma
rine is necessarily delicate. ANY one
of many things might be responsible
for wrecking an underwater boat.
