NOW IS HE TIME TO
 BEWARE OF FIRES

A warning against mld-sum- : mer fires which easily develop ] Into confagrations, is issued by 1 the Arkansas Acturial Bureau. Attention is called to little causes l of big fires by J. s. Speed, Man. sger, at a time when long peri |Ods of hot, dry weather make wooden buildings and shingle roofs highly inhamable. Most Hires could have been prevented Toy little forethought and care entirely out of proportion to the loss and trouble resulting from |the lack of it., says the warn- ling. Instead of trusting to |your luck, take the attitude that your place will be the next to |catch fre-and then take steps
 to see that it doesn't. Ordinary matches, greasy rags and gaso-
 line when not handled with in-
 telligent ::care, trash accumula-
 honS and old or faulty electric
 wires, will sooner or later make
 trouble, It is impossible to list
 here all the common causes of hres which must be guarded
 against, but any thoughtful man can protect himself, hls business and his family by devotine a few minutes each week or each month, to a personal inspection of his premises. Incidentally.

MILITIA ON BORDER
 NOW NUMBERS 7O,0O0
Troops to Be Put Through Training Process to Make
 Efficient Aamy.

San Antonio, Tex. Number ing now more than 70,000 men, and still increasing, the border army will be subjected this week to such discipline and training as the staff here regards necessary for converting 1t into an efficient fighting machine. General Fun ston and his lieutenants are en- thusiastic over the prospect of getting the growing forces into shape, but a fear often express ed at headquarters is that some incident at General Pershing's line of outposts or at some points along the international line may cause a premature clash of the Mexican and American armies. The reported raid at Boquillas yesterday gave General Funston and his staff some concern until today, when report from Col onel Gaston, commanding the troops in the Big Bend district,
 indicated that it was an incident
 without great significance. Three
 Americans, N. o. Mcknight,
 Austin Sway and Roy Sway were held up by two Mexicans
 some miles south of the Ric
 Granda. They escaped and tele-
 graphed to the American side from a mine on the Mexican side
 saying they would make their
 way to the American side at the
 first opportunity. American of
 fcers felt little doubt that they
 would get back in safety. Aus
 tin Sway and Mcknight arc two of the men captured by the Mexicans at the time of the Glen Springs raid several weeks ago Two brigades of the Illinois
