July Fourth Celebration
Mayor E. T. Peck brought forward
the matter of independence day cele-
bration. He said Blackfoot has had
three successful celebrations, but
that there had been little talk of
passing this time by without a COM
munity celebration. c. G. Haynes
spoke up after this fashion: If
Blackfoot can celebrate successfully
three times, this one coming up can
be the best yet. He agreed with the
mayor that it was none too soon
for the matter to be considered. Mr..
DeKay moved that committee OF
five be appointed by the chair to sug-
gest proper measures of observing
the day at the next meeting. This
was amended by D. H. Biethan to
the effect that the committee get
busy at once and make the necessary
preparations. Judge Anderson call
ed attention to the fact that the
streets will be torn up by the fourth
of July. but the members did not
think this would interfere and they
passed the motion and amendment
by a unanimous vote. The chair ap-
pointed the following committee to |
arrange July celebration: F. II.

d. A. Jenkins and Harry Bergman.
Parkinson Willing
Chairman Adair said it was a lot
of work for Mr.. Parkinson to go
about selling the tickets for these
suppers and asked for some sugges-
tions on the subject. Mr.. Biethan
arose and declared that he believed
Mr.. Parkinson enjoyed doing the
good work and he therefore moved
that the same method continue. The
vote carried and Mr.. Parkinson
gracefully accepted the burden.
Auto Parade
J. H. Early announced an automo-
bile parade to take place the Satur-
day afternoon before chautauqua
week. He asked for the donation
of private automobiles by the cit1-
zens for that occasion.

Close Play for Six

close Play Tor Six
From the first to the sixth inning
the teams played evenly, taking
turns at raising the score one run
at time. The home team showed
a style of clean play that bids fair
to make them champions of the val
ley. Mccarthy, right fielder, kept up
to his usual standard at the bat, that
is, had the ball out over the back
fence about every time he came up.
He was. at bat FIVE time and made
two threabaggers and home run.
Perkins Stars
Perkins, Blackfoot's husky ball
singer, surprised them all He held
the opposing batters with almost no
hits and had he been supported by
a well practiced team would have
made the game walk-away. With
the nucleus now being whipped into
shape manager Haynes expects to
build team that will easily cop all
honors of the region.
Practice Will Win
Manager Haynes is especially re-
joicing over the showing made in
the game. He attributes the "going
up'' of the entire team to nothing
but too little steady practice. mostly
on account of bad weather.

FARMER DEFER
 ENT INDIVIDUAL TO-DAY

Little Rock, Sept. 1S.--The farmer of Arkansas is today q different indi vidual of a few years back. In dealing with matters of finance, he is now willing to seek the advice of finan- ciers. All Arkansas fnanciers endorse Amendment No IA, for they see in 1t the only plausible way of getting good roads without increased taxa tion. Such Little Rock bankers as Geo. w. Rogers, of the Bank of Com merce, former president of the Ar kansas Bankers Association, and R. E.. Wait, of the Citizens Investment and Security Co.,, have expressed themselves forcibly in favor of the amendment. They know that it will raise the money to build permanent highways, and the taxpayers will save money, for they will pay no more money than now, yet will have roads Geo. B.

On such occasions the oil en- zines were shut down and supply of current from the storage batteries used to operate two electric motors attached to propellers. In this way, according to Captain Koenig, the sub- marine could travel distance of 100 miles without rising to the surface to recharge the storage cells On the voyage to America the submarine was submerged for total distance of 90 miles, most of which was necessary Tn passing through the closely patrolled North Sea.

ON THE TRANS
 ATLANTIC SUBMARINE E

There was little mention made in the public press of the part electricity played in making possible the plucky journey of the mercantile submarine Deutschland" from her home port in Germany to Baltimore, a distance of $500 miles, in 16 days. Yet with out her storage batteries and propell- ing motors enabling her to navigate beneath the surface, and full equip ment of electric winces, lights and wireless, naval engineers agree that the voyage would have been regarded as foolhardy, if not impossible.
 During her voyage, most of which was made on the surface, the "Deut- schland" was propelled by two crude oil engines. In addition to propelling the craft on the surface these engines were connected to electric generators to keep the storage batteries in the bottom of the boat fully charged. Even while running on the surface the electric current was of importance in lighting the interior, forcing fresh air in the living quarters, and operating the wireless. Electric winches were also used for raising and lowering the anchor and loading cargo and supplies.

EXPECTED BREMEN
 FAILS TO ARRIVE
Believes United States Submar- inc Was Mistaken for German Undersea Ship Seen Off Fish CTS Island.

New London, Conn.,, Sept. 17.-A persistent report from apparently re- liable sources that the German under sea merchantmen Bremen was ap- preaching this port tonight lacked confirmation at a late hour. The first report was that a submarine was seen off Fishers Island in Long Island Sound at 9 o'clock, headed for New London, a two hours run. Credence was attached to the report when the ocean-going tug Tascott, Jr., put out to sea under hurried orders. The newspaper tug which followed, re- turned just before midnight with the information that there was a heavy fog over the sound and nothing had been seen of a submarine. At mid night the Tascott, Jr., had not re- turned.
 During the day. one of the United States submarines was maneuvering off Block Island, but returned here early in the evening. It is believed that this submarines actions may have given rise to the rumor of the approach of the German boat.

FARMERS FAVOR SEED
 SELECTION DAY
.,,,,ber 27th Date Mentioned 'ep'sld ep'Sulendid Results Have Been
 ,eopmnlished by Securing
 notter Seed For Cotton.

,;.ao Rock. Sept. 18.-Reports re-
 !ad ot the headquarters of the .;.nltural Extension Service are As. n tho farmers are greatly interest 'I' sJ in the proposition for seed seiec- .r ,;on - day on Sept. 27. Splendid re- D ',t, have been accomplished by the '' ,..t;or of the best cotton as well as .rn m for seed. The Pulaski county ,..,orstration s agent says that it ~onn he a good investment for a farmer to pay a man who understands it s25 day to go into his field and ,slpct cotton for seed, rather than to deuend as practically farmers do, upon the gin-run seed.
 Early fall blowing, more hogs, the rlartinp of cover crops, and the rais- ;ro ; of more clover are among the things which are being urged by the service at this time.
 There is no question that the hot and dry weather which was prevalent over most of the state this year saved our cotton growers from heavy losses on account of the boil weevil, said Dean J. H. Miller of the Agricultural Extension Division of the University However, a great many farmers oi the state realize the importance of dversifcation and there is every indi- cation that there is more iand to be planted in the various field crops next year than ever before. Splendid re. suits are promised from the clover and legume campaigns conducted this year just drawing to a close.

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
 IN WORLD PEACE MOVE
Gov. C. H. BrOugh, Democratic Nomi- nee, Elected Member of Execu- tive Committee League to
 Enforce Peace.

New York, Sept 1S.-At it's Sep tember meeting in New York City, the National executive committee of the League to Enforce Peace, by unanimous vote, elected Gov c. H. Brough of Fayetteville, the Demo- cratic nominee for governor of Ar kansas, member of the committee. This puts Arkansas in line with other states in the great movement to estab- fish an international court to try causes of disputes between nations, and a council of conciliation to com pose difficulties that cannot be tried in court, and to enforce the use of these means by the joint economic and military power of all the nations in the League.
 This movement was started by the League to Enforce Peace which was organized at Philadelphia a little more than a year ago. The Presi- dent of the League is W. H. Taft, for mer President of the United States. Alton B. Parker, Democratic candi- date for the presidency in 1908, is vice president. Clifton R. Brecken- ridge of Arkansas is an honorary vice president of the League. Dr. A. Law renee Lowell, president of Harvard University, is chairman of the execu- 1 tive committee to which Gov. Brough has just been elected.
 The executive committee has au- thorized a great speaking campaign to explain the plans and purposes Of the League to Enforce Peace and to unite public opinion in support of the government in negotiating the pro- posed league of nations, details fo. which have been worked out by the field committee, which will extend into every county and even into every school district in Arkansas, as well as in every other state in the Union.
 For the purpose of this campaign the United States has been divided into seven districts, each in the charge of field secretary. W. R. Boyd Jr. former manager of the Chicago office of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, whose headquarters are at Kansas City, is in charge of the Southwest district which includes Ar kansas He will cooperate with Gov Brough in planning the Arkansa' campaign.
