PINCH OF HUNGER
 ALREADY IS FELT
Carranza Could Not Feed Troops More Than Three Months, in Case United States Should Blockade Ports.

Eagle Pass, Tex, July 2.-Curtail- ment of traffic between the United States and Mexico, due to the present situation, already is causing the pinch of hunger throughout the southern re- public according to late arrivals from Mexico
 According to men in close touch with Mexican affairs, General Car ranza will be unable to feed his troops longer than three months should the United States blockade the ports and stop food shipments across the border In six months, these men say. the entire country would be in a state of famine The troops even now, according to reports from Mex ico, are stripping the growing grain in Coahuila and Neuvo Leon, while there has been marked cessation of planting throughout even the richer agricultural districts of the country.
 In large measure these conditions are due to the number of troops now under arms in Mexico.
 According to estimates said to be conservative, the three main Mexican commanders have upward of 120,000 men under arms. General Pablo Con- gales is said to have 10000 men, Gen. eral Obregon 50,000 and General Ja- cinto Trevino 30000. These estimates however, probably include certain proportion of camp followers.
 The First Vermont Infantry arrived here today and went into camp north of the town. The Maryland and Kan sas troops are expected in the near future.

BUYING SEED EVERY YEAR
 EXTRAVAGANT, DANGEROUS

Little Rock, July 3.-Dean J. H. Miller of the University Extension Division, advises the farmers of Ar kansas that it is both extravagant and dangerous to be buying seed every year. He says there is always danger of getting many seeds of nox- ious weeds. It is reported that in an- other state ninety per cent of seed oats brought from outside the state last spring had Johnson grass seed. Let Arkansas farmers study the seed question: says he, "and save all their own seed of the clovers. alfalfa. rye, wheat, oats, corn and vegetables and save money and thus guard adul- terations. A good farmer told the writer recently that he had ten acres of sweet clover that he got along the road side three years ago. The Ex- tension Division is making cam palgn for saving Arkansas seed. If m doubt see the county agent"

GUARD DOES NOT EX-
 PECT ORDERS TOLEAVf
Lack of Enthusiasm on this Ac- count at Fort ROOtS-RatiOnS For One Week at Time Only Have Been Purchased.

For some unknown reason, many of the Arkansas National Guard mem- bers, stationed at Fort Logan H. Roots have become imbued with the idea they will not be ordered to the Mexican frontier, and consequently they are not as enthusiastic as on the days immediately following their first days in camp. Indications do not bear surprising if the men were not or dered to move before the middle of the month. By that time the physi- cally unfit can be weeded out, for inn perfections which do not show when the first medical examination is given, will by that time show themselves, and the men will be properly equipped to take the field.
 Rations for only week at a time have been purchased, and the work whicE is being done of a permanent character at the camp is merely to give the men experience so they can pitch camp and make it habitable without delay, when once they are ordered to move.
 The majority of the men in Ar kansas companies are harder than these in regiments which come from cities, hence they will first be called upon.
 Many of the guardsmen were given leave Sunday and came to Little Rock, the churches of the city being well filled at morning service by men in khaki.

RkANSAN SERVING SEVEN
 YEAR SENTENCE AS REWARD

Little Rock, July 3.-A plot, even of importance would be a small plot indeed unless it had an Ar kansan mixed in it somewhere. The Sim Fein uprising in Ireland was merely a regular affair because there was an Arkansan among its leaders. Fergus O'Connor, formerly a book keeper at the Hotel Marion, later employed in a similar capacity by the Reinmann stables, is Arkansas repre- sentative in this uprising, if reports which have reached Little Rock are true. The hard part of the story is that Fergus is now serving a seven year sentence as his reward.
 After a number of years spent in Little Rock, O'Connor left when the European war began, going to Eng land with a ship load of mules. Ar irving in England he enlisted in an Irish regiment and was for two years stationed in France. Just how O'Con- nor got back to his native heath is not given. but the report received by friends here indicate that he was one of those taking up arms to free Auld Ireland, and was so unfortunate as to get caught at it, yet fortunate enough when taken to escape capital punish ment. O'Connor's friends in Little Rock believe that his valiant service at the front in defense of England se- cured executive clemency for him.

REMOVE RED TAPE
 FOR RURAL ROUTES
SlmplificatiOn of Rules May Mean the Extension of Free Delivery in Fifth District of Arkansas.

Washington, July 1.-Following a conference with authorities in the Postotfice Department, Congressman Jacoway today said the rigid rule that hitherto required inspectors approval on proposed rural routes has been re- faxed and in a few days he will equip postmasters of his district with ma terial for mapping out routes they deem necessary. The procedure was to send an inspector over the pro- posed route, the departments approv- al CT rejection being based upon his report. This caused delay. By the new method the postmaster maps the proposed route, noting the length, topography, number of boxes, etc., and this is passed upon directly by the department.
 The department is preparing spe- cial instruction blanks, drawing paper, etc, for this purpose and Mr. Jacoway will send supply to each postmaster in the Fifth district. Mr. Jacoway believes several routes formerly re- jected will be extended to several thousand more persons.

SHOULD MARKET
 HAY GRADUALLY
And Arkansas Farmers Should Sell Only Their Best Grades, Writes MT. Welty, Agricultur- al Commissioner of I. M.

Arkansas farmers who intend to sell hay should feed the poorer grades to their live stock and in selling the better grades should hold to it and market it gradually because the de- mand for hay is gradual demand.
 This is the advice given by D. C. Welty, agricultural commission of Iron Mountain railroad, in letter re- ceived yesterday by the Arkansas Pro- ftable Farming Bureau.
 .'I am receiving inquiries from farmers who have hay for sale and, although considerable hay is moving to supply immediate demands, the buyers are supplying only immediate demands at this time in view of the demand for hay that will come later In the summer and the fact that as the harvest proceeds, prices will auto matically go lower," wrote Mir. Welty. "As with most crops, hay prices are lowest, under ordinary circumstances, at harvest time. As you we'll know, the figures regarding shipments of hay into Arkansas as a whole and into the markets, such as Little Rock, Memphis, Pine Bluff, Fort Smith, TeXarkana, Newport, Dermott, Mon roe, La., Alexandria, La, and Lake Charles, La, prove conclusively that there is an excellent market for Ar kansas hay of good quality. The ex- perience in selling last years crop of hay also proves the dependability of this market
 Should Market Gradually.
 As was proven last year, the only thing that is necessary is for the farmers to hold their hay and mar ket it gradually as the demand for hay is gradual demand. Although a certain amount of hay can be dumped on the market and sold at fair prices, farmers as whole can make money if, instead of worrying over the sale of their hay and trying to force a market, they will take their time and sell for good prices later, as the de- mand justifies. Last year some grow CTS were dissatisfied with the hay crop and gNwere prone to think that they had Seen influenced to grow hay and were then confronted by lack of market This is not the case at all. There is an excellent market for hay if the farmers of Arkansas, like the farmers of other states, will hold their hay and place it on the market as the market demands.
 Another thing of great importance in the successful marketing of hay is the feeding of inferior and poorer grades to live stock. In no state is there a commercial market for hay of poor quality. The commercial demand is for high class hay and in other hay producing sections the farmers feed their low grade hay to live stock and thus market it on foot to excellent ad-- vantage" .,,

CAPT. ELTINGE GOES OVER AT FABENS BUT
 LOSES HOT TRAIL"
Returns to American Side After Several Hours Hunt-Eltinge Had Orders to Avoid Clash if Possible.

Fabens, Texas, July 2.-American troops, which crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico near Fort Hancock late yesterday afternoon in pursuit of Mexican raiders, recrossed the river today, the trail having been lost, ac- cording to report received here. Three troops of cavalry under Capt. Leroy Eltinge pursued eight Mexi- cans who raided the old post at Fort Hancock and escaped with several government horses.
The Prescott daily news., 1916-07-03

S.
 San Antonio, Texas, July 2.-Amer- lcan troopers are again across the Rio Grande, bandit chasing. Capt. Leroy Eltinge, in command at Fabens, Texas, crossed the river at , o'clock Saturday evening with detachment of his troops of the Eighth Cavalry, in pursuit of eight Mexicans who ralded near Fort Hancock and ran off a number of cattle.
 Gen. Bell, at Fl Paso, reported this fifth punitive expedition to Gen. Fun ston today. No information has come from Eltinge since his men forded the river.
 Gen. Funston stated that unless FL tinge found hot trail and had good prospects of coming up with the mar auders he would return to the Ameri- can side tonight. He said it was not the intention that this little expedition should remain long on Mexican soil.
 Eltinge had orders from Brig Gen. Bell to be careful to avoid contact with Carranzista soldiers.
 Capt. Eltinge crossed the Rio Grande yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, picked up the trail and fol- lowed it short distance, but found that i+ 1oJ b,r, hool, to,,,o,J +Lo ,.:.a.. at a point lower down. He was un- able to discover an indication by that time as to the location of the bandits and recrossed to the American side. Early today he led his two troops back into Mexico, but reported that unless he found some tangible evi- dence on which to base the pursuit he would return late today or tonight
 Cautioned to Avoid Clashes.
 Gen. Bell, who reported the incl dent to Gen. Funston. gave the i'm pression to officers here that the chances for locating the bandits were slight. The best information obtain able indicated that there were only eight MeXicans in the raiding party which drove off few head of horses and cattle yesterday from ranch 54 miles southeast of Fl Paso.
 Lieut.. Hardy, with only part of one troop, followed their trail to point where it ended at the river, and Capt Eltingc, several hours later, arrived with two troops from Fl Paso to make an investigation and to continue the pursuit if he considered it advis- able. He was instructed not to pre- cipitate a clash with Mexican troops if it could be avoided.
 Capt Eltinge's report made no meE- tion of encountering any Mexican troops.
 All reports received at Gen. Fun ston's headquarters indicated nothing more exciting along the international line than the exchange of shots be- tween sentries at Nogales. Appar- ently no early offensive by the con- centrated forces of the Mexicans in frort of Gen. Pershing's positions was contemplated.
 All officers commanding troops along the HOO miles of border have been cautioned to avoid clashes with the Mexican troops that face them, but the recurrence of such incidents as that at Nogales has caused staff efficers to fear that an incident may occur at any time that may serve as the basis for further completing a

Candidacy of Judge Theophiius to

Glenwood. Sept. II. Resolutions
against the election of w. L. Harding
as governor Of the state and William
Theophilus to the supreme bench were
unanimously adopted by the Des
MONIES conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church here Saturday.
The resolutions. which are the
strongest adopted on the political sit
uation yet by a church organization
were brought out Of the special COM
mittee on temperance just before noon
and adopted without a protesting vote
amid cheering that allowed no doubt
as 10 the mind OF the conference. The
resolutions follow:
On Harding.
Whereas, the state of Iowa. after
wears Of earnest work on the part OF
the temperance forces, has been freed
from the curse of the legaliZed liquor
traffic, and
Whereas, this sleepless foe is no"
making a subtle but determined eff
fort to re-enter by way of the highest
office Of the commonwealth: and
"

and
Whereas. the liquor forces of the
state. disavowing party loyalty, are
their efforts on the election
of their candidate, Hon. W. l. Hard
ing; and
Whereas. W. L. Hard;ng's record as
a servant of the public iii the state
legislature. additionally pledges him
to the defeat Of the cause Of temper

Whereas. in his election, the reforms
of the generation would be threatened

time when the world is making rapid

liquor traffic; and
Whereas. the election Of W L. Hard

Therefore, be it resolved:
