Nogales, Nov. e.-When you hear

PROBABLY WILL VOTE
 ON PROHIBITION LAW
Figures Compiled Show 1s,136 Names on Petition and Only t0,-
 S41 NeceSsary-Checking List.

Little Rock, July i4.-Senator T. J. Raney, a member of the State Board of Control of Charitable In- stitutions, is checking the petitions recently filed with the Secretary of State by Ben L. Griffin. presi- dent of the Local Government League, for the repeal of the state to the figures compiled by Mir. Grif- fin, there are iS,f36 names on the petition, and only t0,S4i are ne- cessary. The petitions are being checked to determine the number of signatures. Copies of the names will then be made, and sent to the various counties for verification.
 Should this course prove that any considerable number of signatures are irregular, an injunction would be sought to prevent the Secretary from certifying out the proposed act. But should it appear, however that the signatures are legal, the energies of the Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibitionist forces of the state will be turned upon cam paign against the passage of the act at the November election. It is beginning to be realized that there will be hard fight on the question in the approaching campaign.

Whole Coasl Is Alarmed.

New York. July il.-Even New York got the shark panic today.
 At Coney Island, Brighton, Rock away and other seashore points knowledge that the man-eater had added two victims to his list of killed and had Inaimed another for life resulted in institution of spe- cial motor boat patrols, steel nets and very few bathers. In New York City itself the news stopped many bathing parties from piers in the lower city
 Their was considerable doubt ex- pressed at St. Peters Hospital, New Brunswick, N. J., today that Joseph Dunn. f2-year- old boy, whose leg was horribly stripped of flesh from a shark bite, would recover.
 Physicians said the wound was a bad one Great pieces of flesh were torn from the bone and altho the youth bore the shock well, the wound is of the sort that becomes infected easily.
 Hundreds of men, armed with rifles, pistols, dynamite and all sorts of harpoons, hunted ceaselessly along the New Jersey shore today for the shark Matawan creek was almost dynamited out of its course.

sneclal to The star.


 Little Rock, July i4.-Many pre- dictions have been discounted since the mobilization of the Arkansas National Guard began. At first some said the two regiments cold be gotten ready for service within a week after the call was issued A month has passed, and they are still long ways from being pre- pared
 Now 1t seems probable that it will require two weeks to complete the examination The examination IS as rigid as that which is made for enlistment in the regular army.
 There are about twenty appoint ments to be made. Under the law. all the appointments must be made from the membership of the Guard retired officers of the Army or Navy or graduates of military schools. This reduces the field of choice. so that the governor cannot go out side of the organization to secure men for the offices.
 -At' q t-at&NAo N4EUi AlNdt llftlN duOUL CaInp Hays about the early depar- ture 0l the Guard for the front, are unt0unded.
 When the physical examinations are completed. there will be two skeleton regiments, with probably enough men to make one regiment at war strength. The units. how ever, will be retained. and recruit ed to full strength by the regular recruiting service. II is announced that three officers will be assigned to each regiment ordered to the front, the names of men for this service to be supplied by the ad- lutant genral of each state. While thls IS being done, it is probable that the authorities will go further and recruit the companies to full war strength of f4i men each.

 Little Rock, July i3.-There have been numerous applications for ap- pointment as sheriff of Garland county to succeed the late Sheriff Webb. Among those who have been mentioned are Calvin Webb, a broth er of the deceased; Pate and Row Brown.
 Gov Hays says that he has not decided when he will make the ap- pointment T have decided, how ever, said he, that l shall appoint some good man who is a good friend of mine. have been appointing the other fellows friends long enough. and now l shall take care of some of my own friends
 In addition to this, there are a number of good citizens of Hot Springs who have signified their willingness to accept the appoint ment as mayor, in the event the charge against Major J. w. McClen- don Is sustained in the courts. This IS the case in which the Supreme Court decided Monday that the may or may be tried by the Circuit Judge without a jury

RATIONAL BREVITIES. (S. c. Davidson.)

All mysteries disappear when their cause is discovered
 The lack of confidence is always the basis oi inharmony

 A small crack in the hog trough will let esis much fGod that tic pigs greatly need.
 Men without true principles are like a faithful gentle mule-not to be trusted.
 Large experience with little knowledge is far better than great knowledge without experience.
 In experimenting With things you don't understand. remember there danger of releasing a force to your own hurt.
 An open mouth, tongue without a governor, eyes closed to all com mon sense, is a complete picture of an angry person.

 Faith is the foundation stone on which rests things hoped for and is the evidence Of the existence of things not seen, but when hoped-for things are attained and seen. faith is transformed into full knowledge.

IT WAS IRON vs. STEEL.
And the Russian Army Turned Back
 Crack. Famed TeutOn Force.

petrograd, July i2.-A dispatch to the Russky Stovo from southwestern headquarters says:
 When news Of the rolling up or the Austrian fourth army and the forcing of the defenses of Lutsk was received in Berlin emperor ordered the immediate dispatch of the best available forces of the strateglcal reserves in France. The first troops sent to support the Austrians ln- cluded the twentieth Brunswick, the so-called steel division, concerning whose prowness numbered legends have arisen in Germany.
 The corps reached Vladimir No- lynski and was hurled next day against Gen. Kaledine's army. The collision occurred at kisel. half way between Vladmir-NOlynskl and Lutsk. The onslaught of the German regiment was by a Russian division which. in the earlier stages Of the war won the name of the Iron avs ion. Advancing to the attack, the Germans fired tens of thousands of shells in an uninterrupted cannon- ade for four days and nights; then charge followed charge and one aft- CT another broke. Russian iron was proof against German steel.
 During a short lull on the even ing of the second day the Germans displayed signbOards above their trenches bearing the inscription:
 Your Russian iron is no worse than the German steel, but all the same we shall smash you.
 The Russians retorted.
 Come on and try
 The Brunswicks resumed their charges turnout the day and night but next morning the Russians sud- denly delivered smashing counter attack at an unsuspected point and overthrow two battalions, capturing number of cannon and machine guns.
 After the forty-second attack, the remnants of the steel division were withdrawn and are now at Via dimir-Volynski awaiting re-organ- ization. The corps in four days, fighting had lost three-quarters Of it's officers and half it's men. The Russian losses also were heavy"

PASTURES ARE THE
 GREATEST ASSET
Georqe Putman of Mount Ida Gives Experience With Using Rough Land for Cattle-Miaht Have
 Been On Easy Street"

Tn a recent interview concerning the clover campaign which the Ex- tension Service of the University of Arkansas is putting on, George Putnam, a farmer of Mount Ida, said.
 T consider the permanent pas ture one of the greatest assets which the farmer of Arkansas could possibly have. The place of the clover in these permanent pastures is undisputed. In Montgomery county the most prosperous men have some permanent pasture land and are at the present time planning to put in a greater acreage under the supervision of the agricultural ex- perts of the state. Many of the men, like myself. have had permanent pastures for only a short time, how ever, they are all enthusiastic and l believe it is one of the greatest things which the agricultural ln- terests of the state have fostered III some time. Two years ago, at the suggestion of County Agent, J. R. Woods, l was induced to put per- manent pastures on rough hill land on which for the last twenty years my father and l had been attempt ing to raise corn and 0tton, Sc far We have been able to pasture a steer for every acre of pasture we have. and today we are more pros porous than ever, althO we regret the effort which was put on our stony hill sides which gave us just enough return to enable us to live. If someopo had told us twenty years ago what our land was best suited for, We might have been on Easy Street today with plenty of good live stock around us, a better home and many things which if is too late for us to enjoy, As 1t is, we are just getting started and have very few animals of which the Ar kansas farmer should be proud. Too much stress cannot be given to the clover campaign and more farmers should realize the prosperity which awaits them. Those who are skep- tical should put in only a few acres of pasture this year. Further. this pasture shOpld be put on the best land which they have. This will give them an opportunity 10 see what the pasture grassee will do and it will also help them avoid many difficulties which they may encoun- ter if only the very poor lands are used for pasture. It is a mistake for any farmer to use only the poor est land for grazing purposes. The farmers of Iowa and other Corn belt States are making S250.00 pas ture land pay, and they are handi- capped because of a shorter season than that which we find in Arkan- sas. The long summers in this state add much to the value of our pasture lands, because if they are handled properly 1 believe that the farmers in most sections can se- cure ten months pasture every year.

 Calls for Little Collins.
Q Toledo NeWs-Be

From the Toledo News-Bee.
 Keep cool, don't get so hot, we say to an angry man, thus showing we know the relation between tenn perature and temper. And we take 1t for granted that children are go- ing to get cross in hot weather. They do, but 1t is usually some adults fault.
 When children naturally and joy fully take cold bath under the hose they are scolded. When they take off their shoes and paddle i'll a puddle they are punished. But peFatures instinctively. They are only doing for themselves in the easiest way what their guardians should manage in a better way-if they can find one.
 In July the demand for little white collins is heavier than in any other months of the year. Hun- dreds would not be required if par ents would take care to meet the temperature half way. Put away the notion that an open window means draft. Don't be afraid that if you take of the children's petti- coats they are going to take cold Unless they are already below nor maj physically and ready to catch anything, the children will have a hard time taking cold when the thermometer climbs above S0
 Make it a rule that they may go barefoot in the hottest hours of the day Put on sandals if the premises are not assuredlv raked nail clean. Let the small folks even baby, have plenty of cool but not iced water. The offensive is supposed to have the advantage in any battle. Meet the heat half way.

We must say that our presi- dent is the right woman in the right place, and her able assistants in efficient officers and department workers. will prove our work in the good substantial report that will soon be ready for 1916.
 Owing Co sickness in our home and much other work that bore heavily upon us for a time we have not had the pleasure of attending the meetings but the good work does not stop for want of helpers. This great work will go on until all are perfect in righteousness. We want Go give some of the results in one of our sister states Did the w. C. T. U. have anything to do in placing 5i6.000 children in the public schools of Kansas. who has never seen an open saloon in that state. or in making more than half of the coun- ty jails empty, in causing 6 out of iG5 counties of the state to have no inmate in the state penal institutions and S7 counties to have no insane? Arkansas expects to be better than this. Many of the Kansas counties have not had a jury to try case ifi ten years. Fifty-four have no fec ble- minded. 96 counties have no inebriates, % counties have not a single inmate on their poor farms. Kansas is the second richest state in the Union. It's average wealth is Si,700 per capita. Out of 7S6 news papers in the state. less than 10 will accept liquor advertisements.
 Prohibition sentiment in Kansas is stronger now than at any time in her history, altho she is the dryest of our states.

Matawan, N. J., July 1.-The body of Lester Stilwell, the i2-year-old victim of a man-eating shark, was recovered early today from Mata- wan creek. The sharks teeth had made great wounds in the boys abdomen. The boys face showed no marks. It was the belief that the fish had seized the boy about the middle of the body, rather than around the feet and legs In all other cases of attacks by sharks, so far reported, the man eater had struck at the legs of his victims.

From The Kansas Cifv Star
 General Goethals. who is retiring from the government serace after having completed the Panama Canal, is a lucky man. He IS lucky in hav- ing had the opportunity to do a splendid public service. With his extraordinary ability 1t might have fallen to his lot Go become a mere millionaire. Instead he was called on to undertake a task of unusual difficulty. calling for the highest type of executive ability and engin- eering skill.
 His work took him to the tropics, away from the social aspects of life that men prize. It made him vir- tually an exile for years. It con- fronted him with unprecedented ob- stacles. But in those obstacles lay the essential attractiveness of the situation. IL was a mans job. His reward cannes in the consciousness of having done a great and diifieult work well.
 No man coming to the end of his career thanks God for an easy Mfe
