ZAP SHIPBUILDING
REVOLUTIONIZED.
vavy Has Made Marvellous
Strides Since Beginning
of European War.

TOKYO. May 1S.-The war is rev
olutionizing Japan's shipbuilding in
dustry. Not even the German navy,
in those strenuous years which pre-
ceded the war, made more rapid
strides than the shipyards Of Japan
are making today under the double
stimulus OF government subsidies
and the absorption Of EurOpe's pro-
ductivity In war.
japanese shipbuilding is entirely
an artificial growth. In 1896 the ship
building and navigation bounty laws
were passed. In 1S9S the first large
steamer CHitachi Maru. 5000 tons)
was launched.
In 1912 the first two dreadnaughts
were ordered. But owing 10 the
backwardness OF engineering and
the small production Of iron in the
country growth was slow, and the
steamship companies. I'm spite Of the
bounty on home construction. found
IL cheaper and better 10 buy second
hand ships from England.
In 1912 only seven steamers, to-
falling 17,1S3 tons, were built in
Japan. In 1918 four steamers. aggre-
eating 34,47S tons, were launched,
and in 1914 the number had in
creased TO II steamers OF 66,239
tons.
The number Of ships 10 be launch
ed during the present year has in
creased TO 40 and the gross tonnage
amounts TO 10000. There were on
order at the end OF January an ad-
ditional Al steamers aggregating
$4,000 tons-that is, there were
then building and on order 81 steam
ships Of an inclusive tonnage Of 384.-
900. An increase of 100 per cent is
thus already shown.

At the beginning OF the war three
japanese dOckyards were capable

constructing ships up to 5000 tons.
Another complete dock yard is to be

reduce the number to five.
In addition eight large cargo
steamers are TO be launched next
year 10 the order Of this company.
Two new passenger ships will be

placement.
AS for prospects. Pres't Asano de-
c!ared at the annual meeting Of the
company the other day that high
freight and shortage of tonnage will
continue for at least two years more.
He expects that rates will rise in
stead OF declining in 1917 and 1913,
owing 10 the fact that the ship
building capacity of the world will
not be sufficient within that time TO
replace the shipping lost in the war.
A point Of Importance in the ques-
ton of earning power is that most or
the new steamers are being con-
structed on strictly uniform lines-a
matter of great importance in econ
omy of running. The Osaka Iron
works is building Il steamers of ex-
aStly $500 tons capacity, and the
kawasah dock yard has under con-
struction Il steamers Of 5000 tons.
II is also reported that 2S boats Of
the sherwood type are under con-
tract.

Death of Lela Lewis.

Last Friday night, May 26th, at 9 o'clock, the death angel came to the home of MT. and Mrs. Fillmore Lewis and took their dear daughter. She was l9 years, five months and one day of age. She was born and raised in Polk county, Missouri. In October 1913 her father came to Franklin county. She has a host of friends there and here who will long remember her. She also leaves a father, mother, and two brothers who are here, and one sister in Missouri, to sadly mourn her departure. During her illness and death it was the desire of the entire neighborhood young and old to spend all their time in trying to do everything that could pos sibly be done for the young girl, for she had as many friends as any one could have and was a faithful christian. Funeral ser vices were held at flight ceme- tery Saturday afternoon. The dear darling daughter who we all know is asleep in Jesus.

Section Director Gives Synopsis of
 Crop Conditions

Following is synopsis of weather and crop conditions in Arkansas for the week ending May 23, 1916:
 Local rains occurred in nearly all portions of the state Saturday and Sunday, being excessive in places and relieving the tendency towards drouth except in a few isolated localities in the central portion. The cold weather in- jured cotton in the northern and western portions and retarded the growth of corn and cotton in most portions. Small grains which were heading in some localities, were injured by the dry weather.
 Corn and cotton are reported in good to excellent conditions except in a few localities in northern and western portions. It was necessary to plant some fields a second time in the ex- treme northern counties, and the soil was too wet for all crops in the extreme northwestern DOT tion. Cotton is nearly all up in the northern portion and chop ping is about half done in the central portion. Rice is coming up and is in excellent condition. Hay and forage crops. potatoes and vegetables continue in ex- cellent condition except in a few localities. Berries are becoming scarce in central and southern portions, but shipments continue in the northern counties. Apples are dropping to some extent. but a bumper crop is expected.
