POLITICIANS DISAPPOINTED.
Registration in New York Shows Small
Gain for National Campaign.

New York, Oct. 16.-Although the
registration Of 738,71O voters in New
York city exceeded last years
record by 7o,S99, the predictions of
political leaders were not fulfilled.
The complete registration figures now
available show a gain of 33,424 over
the registration for the last presi-
Dental election in 1912. Politicians
prophesied that a total of 100000 to
100000 would be attained. One
reason given for the failure to reach
these figures is the return to Europe
Of many men of foreign BIRTH
Republican leaders pointed out to-
day that there was large decrease in
the registration in some of the strong
democratic districts of Manhattan, but
the democratic chieftains asserted that
this was more than compensated by
democratic gains in Brooklyn, Bronx
and Queens boroughs. Manhattan was
the only borough to show a decline
from the registration of 1912

HEMP HURDS AS PAPER STOCK.
Department Of Agriculture Agrees
They Can Be Used.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Specialists
of the department of agriculture are
convinced that a satisfactory quality
of book paper can be made from hemp
hurds, the waste stalk fragments pro-
duced in preparing hemp fiber for the
market.
A report onl the subject issued to-
day says that commercial tests made
in cooperation with a paper manu-
facturer demonstrated that hemp
hurds can be reduced chemically to
paper stock by the soda process under
practices only slightly differed from
those employed for the manufacture

At present about 5000 tons of hurds
Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Cali
fornia. This is not sufficient, the re-
port states, to justify the erection of
pulp mill or the transportation to
existing mills, but the view is ex-
pressed that the time may come, owing
to the increasing cost of wood pulp
and the increasing acreage of hemp
grown in this country, when the use
of hurds in the paper making indus
try will be profitable.

He Tied Down
the Governor

Once upon a time there was an en-
gineer in charge of a splendid engine.
It did good work. but because it did
good work he thought it could do bet
ter. He thought he could safely vio-
late all mechanical laws. He took
chances. He tied down the governor.
Engine and engineer were blown to
atoms. His wife takes in washing.
His children depend on charity.
Now I want you to take this lesson
10 heart. 1 want you to apply it to
yourself. This is the value of all life's
lessOns-the personal application
+ Are you trying to get out Of your
body and brain more than nature de-
signed them to do? Are you annoyed
by the warnings that are Natures
safety valve? Have you tied down the
governor so you won't hear them
put on greater pressure-defied all Of
natures laWs-and expect to get away
with it? You won't.
You can't avoid disease by shutting
your eyes to the symptoms of disease.
If you ignore the warning signals Of
nature sooner or later disaster will
overtake you. Suppose you break
down, a nervous wreck, what will be-
come of your family? Have you ever
thought of that?
I could fill pages telling you of
symptom after symptom which to the
mind of the specialist clearly point to
nervous breakdown. Symptoms that
you ignore, treat lightly.
But 1 can tell you a much more
simple, palmer, clearer way to avoid
nervous breakdown,

London, Oct. 16, 3:15 a. m.-The
situation on the Rumanian frontier
occupies the leading position on the
news and editorial pages of the Lon
don newspapers. The Rumanians,
according to the latest official state
ment, have been forced back six or
seven miles at one point into their
own country. They are making a
stand at Rucaru, which is a small
town toward the southern end of the
Torzburger Pass At Rucaru the
AustrO German forces are we'll below
the highest level Of the pass South
Of this town the road runs ten miles
through a rolling country to the rail-
head Campulung, which is virtually
and seventy-five miles from Buchar-
est.
The Times notes: 1.-THE enemy has
advanced into Rumania through the
Torzburger Pass and the Rumanians
are fighting on their own soil at R,1-
caru. Apparently they have temper
arily lost possession of all but the
southern approaches Of Torzburger
Pass. Further north the enemy
penetrated to the crest of Citoz Pass
but was then driven back in a fierce
encounter In the other passes the
enemy is making no progress but I'M
til effective help reaches the Ru-
manian second army we must expect
varying fortunes in this district"

C|DFONS OPPOSE
 LOCAL OPTION ACT IFS DEFEAT IS URGED
Nearly One Hundred Enjoy Banquet Given by Conway Band Here
 Saturday Evening.

Nearly 100 guests enjoyed a ban quet given Saturday night at the First Methodist church by the Con- way band of Gideons. J. C. Bennett of Chicago, H., national trustee and chairman of the national field work committee of the Gideons, and 25 members of the Little Rock band were guests of honor. J. B. Parker, editor of the Arkansas Farmer, was toastmaster. Short talks were made by local and visiting Gideons.
 The following resolutions in regard to the proposed act No. 2, which if passed will repeal the statewide pro- hibition law, were introduced by E. F. Edwards, state president of the Gldeons, and were unanimously adopt ed at the banquet:
 Whereas, nine months trial has proved the beneficient effects of the statewide prohibition law, and clear ly demonstrated that the only busi- ness it hurts is that of the saloon, which impoverishes and degrades; the law has a tendency to vacate our jails and county farms, to increase the earnings of legitimate business, to make labor more efficient and depend able, to bring happiness and plenty to homes that had before been pau perized by the saloon interests, and to lift our citizenship to a higher plane of self-respect; and,
 Whereas, There is now pending before the people of this state to be voted on at the November election, Act No. 2, which proposes to repeal not only the statewide prohibition law, but practically every other anti saloon law placed on our statute books within the past 40 years, sub stituting therefor law, under the false name of local self government, that would again deliver the state into the hands of the whiskey inter- ests and put us back where where we were nearly half century ago in morals; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That this body of Gid cons and friends of the order, in fra ternal gathering assembled, hereby condemn, in unmistakable terms, Act No. ?, and pledge their most earnest efforts to defeat it in the general election to be held on the 7th of No- vember."

see only reduced majority for Hughes, and a like concession is made as to Wisconsin and Minnesota. Truth is that Ohio right now is Dem- ocratic by 75,000 to 100000. Mime sota is daily becoming doubtful, Wis consin is Democratic, Illinois is the toss of coin and Michigan offers a field for almost limitless speculation. In all, these states Wilson sentiment IS growing, whereas Hughes mana gers are talking dolefully about the Republicans will "hold their own" or we doubt that President Wilson will be able to make further inroads upon normal Republican strength"
 It is evident that in every doubt ful state the Republicans expect the power of their campaign fund to pre- vail. Their motto seems to be:
 We've got the money and we'll get the votes"
 But when the happiness and se- curity of the American people are at stake, as they are in this campaign. it is incredible that enough voters would sell out to exchange a satis- flying condition of established peace for the demoralizing prospects of war.

FEDERATION HEAD MAY
 TENDER RESIGNATION
Because of III Health, Mrs. John Ike Moore, President of Women's
 Clubs, May Resign.

Mrs. John Ike Moore of Helena ems Clubs in Arkansas, will resign her post at the State Federation at Pine Bluff, according to rumol which has gained wide circulation III health is given as the cause. Mrs Moore's work of constructive philan- throphy has been quite phenomenal her judgment unerring and her ef- forts tireless in the performance of the duties of the office, and hundreds of club women of the state hope she will continue in the office. Her term expires in October, 1917.
 In regard to the rumor, the Hot Springs New Era says editorially:
 The club women and the people of Hot Springs are interested in the se- lection of the next president, for the reason that the 1918 biennial con- vention is to be held in Hot Springs, and the preparations for this big meeting will be made under the reg ime of the next president.
 There is one woman in the state federation who appeals to Hot Springs as the logical candidate for this office, and that woman is Mrs A. A. Retan, of Little Rock. It was Mrs. Retan who first suggested bringing the general federation to Hot Springs. From that moment un- til the convention was landed she never relaxed her work or her vigi- lance. She carried the fight to the last biennial and again to the meet ing of the executive committee which selected Hot Springs as the next meeting place.
 Unless we are mistaken, Hot Springs will be a unit for Mrs. Re tan for president of the state fed eration.
