COURT HOLDS NEW JUR|fS NECESSARY FOR JULY COURT TERM Judge Trimble Instructs Sheriff, How ever, to Summon as Many Jan
 uary Jurors as Possible.

New grand and petit jurors must be summoned to serve at the forth coming July term of the Faulkner circuit court, according to a delayed letter received today by Sheriff w. w. Bishop from Judge I. c. Trimble of Lonoke. The judge states that the juries summoned for service at the January term and not used on ac- count of no court being held cannot be required to appear for service again, but directs the sheriff to re- quest as many of these two juries as possible to appear at the July ses- sion. Judge Trimble's letter follows
 "A new grand and petit jury will have to be summoned for the July term. This cannot be done until court convenes. However, have thought in all probability it would be advisable to get as many of these jurors as pos sible, inasmuch as they were selected by the jury commissioners, as the law requires, from different parts of the county, and it would be a good idea to let as many come to the July ter mas will and you can summon them at once; in that way we can get grand and petit jury without any delay, and one selected by the jury commissioners.
 Sheriff Bishop said today he ex- poets to have as many as 40 or 50 good men from various parts of the county who will agree to do jury sel- vice to be present when court opens so that they can be immediately sum moned as soon as the formal order of court for impaneling the juries is made. This will permit the court to proceed with only little more than the ordinary delay.

HFBFR RECOVERING
 FROM DISASTER

Little Rock, June 15.-Dr. Horace E. Ruff of Heber Springs, a member of the Arkansas senate, was in Little Rock Wednesday, saying he just came down to get little rest following the strenuous times of the cyclone.
 All the injured we are now treat ing in the Cleburne county court house will recover" states Dr. Ruff. We lost three after the first sixteen, but there should be no more deaths.
 "The part of our city struck was the section in which the poorest of our people resided We have had much help from the outside in caring for them, and l think the destroyed portion will soon be rebuilt and better than ever."

FIRST 1916 BLOOM
 COMES IN EARLY

The earliest first cotton bloom re- ported in this county in 10 years was brought to the Log Cabin Democrat office today, from the crop of J. F. Middleton on the plantation of Col. J. E. Little at Lollie. The bloom was not discovered until yesterday after noon, but was three days old when found, as it had already turned red and wilted. The bloom, therefore, appeared on June 12, three days earlier than the first bloom was dis covered last year by Lee Madden, on the Drummer farm near Gleason.
 First blooms brought to the Log Cabin Democrat office annually since 1907 have been as follows: 1915, June l5; 1914, June 15; 1913, June 20; 1912, June 15; 1911, June 16; 1910, June 2S; 1909, June P; 1908, June 16; 1907, July 2.

 Conditions have changed material ly in the auto trade of Arkansas in very few years, or the people are more liberal in their patronage of the states license bureau. In 1911, when the state first began collecting an automobile tax, 800 tags were purchased and the supply was not ex- hausted. The next year 3,615 tags were issued. In 1914, 5,642 tags were sold, and in 1915 there were 8,021 au- tomobiles bearing Arkansas license tags. At this rate there will be 5O,- 900 automobiles in Arkansas in 1920.

CROWD ROARS AS
 WILSON IS PRAISED AMERICANISM KEYNOTE
Ex-Governor Glynn shows Othel Presidents Adjusted Foreign
 Troubles Without War.

St. Louis, June 15.-The Demo. cratic national convention at it's first session heard the keynote of Ameri. canism and peace, preparedness and prosperity sounder by former Gov ernor Glynn of New York, and by 1 demonstration registered it's approv- al of President Wilson's peaceful con- | duct of foreign affairs. The convention, which opened with the usual perfunctory demonstrations soon stirred itself into roaring cheers as Chairman Glynn cited historic parallels to show that other presi- dents, including Republicans, adjust ed threatening foreign situations without resort to war.
 "The policy of the administration, " he declared, "has been just as Ameri- can as the American flag itself"
 As he went down the list of presi- dents the delegates caught the spirit and as he referred to each particular president some delegate would call: What did he do?"
 ''He settled the trouble by negotia- tion." was the reply which Glynn in- variably returned, and the convention would roar its approval. William J. Bryan, as newspaper correspondent in the press stand, wept with emotion as Glynn pictured the victories of peace, but he laughed with the crowd when a Texas delegate, interrupting Glynn, leaped to his chair and cried:
 And don't forget that policy also is satisfactory to William Jennings Bryan"
 Aside from 16-minute demonstra- tion when Chairman Glynn predicted President Wilson's reelection, his speech was sprinkled with demonstra- tions which made it difficult for him to go on. The telling points on the delegates were the recital of Pres.- dent Wilson's effort to keep the coun- try at peace.
 This policy" he said, may not satisfy the fire-eater and the swash- buckler. But it does satisfy the mothers of the land, at whose hearth and fire-side no jingoistic war has placed an empty chair It does sat isfy the daughters of this land, from whom the buster and brag have sent no loving brother to the dissolution of tle grave. It does satisfy the fath.rs of this land and the sons of this land who will fight for our flag and die for our flag when reason primes the rife; when honor draws the sword and when justice breathes a blessing on the standard they up- hold"
 The last of the words were drowned out in roar of applause that swept the coliseum.
 Repeat it," cried the delegates repeat it."
 "All right, be quiet and I'll repeat it, responded Mir. Glynn, and he did, amid applause.
 No other president since the Civil war, Glynn said, has faced such cru cial problems, none has displayed a grasp of statesmanship more pro- found.
 Whether the course the country has pursued during thi scrucial peri cd is to be continued and whether the principles that have been asserted as our national policy shall be endorsed or withdrawn is the paramount ques- tion for the voter to decide" he said
 "No lesser issue must cloud it, nc unrelated problems must confuse it."
