BEAR STORIES.

As the State campaign warns dp it is well to take our bear ings occasionally. As charge and counter charge is made it is well to brush away some of the froth and get down to what the men really stand for. Some evidences of methods, not new 10 Arkansas politics, are al ready seen and heard. We re- fer 70 that class of election stuff that is peddled on the street corner, told in confidence or as heresay, something cal eulated to injure the character or reputation of a candidate for high office. That kind of thing is being done now-some of 1t bv men that ought to know bet ter. We have heard bear stor- ies in Arkansas before now and have no patience with them. If q candidate for governor or any ether office has any charge of exposure to make of an appo- ncut. let him make it openly and accept the responsibility Of proving it. The very fact that malicious "bear" stories are be- ing circulated from mouth to mouth and town to town, ali froN an indefinite source, nak- es t look very much like they wore being systematically made and sent out on their mis- siors of character aSSaSSinat- ion hv a man or men higher up. The neople of Arkansas are fair. They are not likely to be f;ceNived. They will hear what tne candidates for governor have 10 saw for themselves.

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel fine and cheerful make your work a pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi- tion. But take no nasty, dangerous calomel because it makes you sick and you may lose days work.
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel crashes into sour bile like dynamite breaking it up. That's when you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

JULY WEATHER
MUCH HOTTER
IHANLAST YEAR
Very Little Rain Fell, Less Than the
Average for the Month.

The comparison of the maximum
and Minimum temperature for the
month of July in 1916 with the same
month in 1915 shows some remarkable
differences.
The maximum temperature for the
month in 1916 was 80 degrees while
the maximum for the same month in
1915 was only 81 degrees. The mini
mum in 1916 was 77.3 degrees and in
1915 it was 66.4 degrees. Every day
in July 1916 was over 80 degrees max
imum and there were sixteen DAYS in
which the mercury mounted above 90
degrees. The average monthly rain
for July is 2.87 inches, in 1916 it was
only 1.24 inches as against 4.90 inches
for July 1915.
The greatest daily range in tenn
perature occurred on the 10th when
the temperature fell from SO to so
degrees making a range of SO degrees.
There were Is clear days, 7 cloudy
days and 6 partly cloudy days dur
ing the month. Thunderstorms oc-
Cured on the 10 and 23rd and 3Oth.
Hail fell on the first.

SOUTH SIDE
ISLANDS>N NAMED
Are Being Prepared for Picnic Pur-
poses and General Use of the
Public.

The islands in the river between
the G. & n. w. railroad bridge and
the south side will be put in shape by
the park commission so that they may
be enjoyed by the citizens of this com
munity.
Ben Hansen has been doing some
good work on the four big islands and
expects to have them in fine shape for
use in short time. The islands from
the bridge south have been officially
named by the park commission as fol-
lows: Lyon Island, Witter Island.
Garrison Island and Edwards Island.
Signs bearing the names of the
islands will be placed on each one of
them and also rules regulating the
use of the islands.
The attention of those who are in
the habit of throwing tin cans into
the river is again called to the fact
that this must not be done. These
cans drift down the river and sink.
Some OF them lodge IN the natural
bathing beaches and are a source of
danger to bathers.
There are three very fine hard sand
bottom beaches in the river between
the c. & N. W. bridge and the south
side and efforts will be made to make
them better and provide for the safe
ty of bathers.
The fine transportation to the edge
of this island paradise furnished bv
the street car line and the fact that
it is within easy walking distance from
the heart of the city with a cement
walk all the way, will doubtless, make
these islands and Lyon park very
popular with those who love out door
life.

The HumOrists Have Fun.

The professional humorists are hav-
ing their fun with the weather, the
administration and the sharks. New
York has been having a terrific heat
wave and one monologist always gets
a laugh with this: "Truly the times
are out of joint" he says despondently,
adding almost fearfully, with tropi-
cal heat in New York City, with tropi-
cal sharks in New York Bay and
Woodrow Wilson in the White House,
truly the times are out of joint" Will
Rogers, the finest rope twirler New
York has even seen, gets off another.
Pm mighty sorry for President Will
son." says Rogers, as he makes his
rope perform almost incredible stunts.
'The poor man is awfully worried, !"
he goes on. "It's these sharks, you
see. They are committing frightful
depredations on American citizens.
Mr.. Wilson has written a note. The
trouble is he can't figure out who to
send it to-"

A Fortunate Settlement.

1t is generally recognized that the
early settlement of the street RAILWAYS
strike was most fortunate for Labor.
because conditions in the surrounding
country made for an unusual supply of
strike-breakers The Du Pont Powder
Co., OF Delaware, has just dropped
5000 men, because of the diminution
OF the European demand for NUM-
lions of war, and only a short time ago
the Westinghouse Company laid off
several thousand for a like reason.
The men SO laid off are not, of course.
naturally strike breakers. Manv of
the men are skilled mechanics. New
ertheless, when men have been some
time out of work, with their families
in want and only the prospect of adj
ditional reduction of working forces.
the temptation to take the places of
strikers becomes intense. Reports
from abroad, showing the wonderful
organization the allies have at last
achieved IN the production of NUM-
lions of war, indicate that the high
tide of the export trade in munitions
of war has passed and will recede from
now on, with more and more men laid
off in the great American plants
which have been doing so prosperous
a business as result of the sudden
war demands.

Special Taxation.

All eyes are turned on Washington
awaiting the final decision of the ad-
ministration as to the special taxes
to be used to make good the Treasury
deficit. The Democratic Senate eau
Gus has voted greatly to increase. the
inheritance tax, but this proposition
meets with serious opposition in many
sections as inheritances have always
been looked upon as peculiarly source
Of revenue for the states themselves.
There is no doubt whatever that the
income tax will be increased, although
by how much is still question. The
Senate plan is to lower the exemption
and tax all incomes over $4,000 for
single men and $4,000 for married
men, with increases of the present
rates for the larger incomes. 1t is
also proposed to impose special taxes
on all materials going into munitions
Of war. Those engaged in the pro-
duction of munitions assert that it
is an injustice to impose such tax
just as the munitions business is fall
ing off and the manufacturers expect
to be left with great plants on their
hands for which they will have COM
paratively little business. No one is
worrying much about the fate of the
manufacturers, but should the rate
at which they are laying off their en-
ployees be accelerated the result might
be productive of much suffering.

The Railway Strike.

Of vital Importance to the entire
country are the negotiations looking
to the mediation of the railway strike.
It is announced that 81 per cent of
the 100000 railway employees have
voted to strike and unless the federal
mediators can induce both sides to
consent to mediation, a terrible tie-up
of the country will result Appeals are
being made to President Wilson, with
out regard to party, to take a hand
if the regular mediators are unable
to bring about a settlement, as it is
feared the utmost hardship will result
if the strike becomes an actuality. The
union leaders have received written
assurances from a number of congress
men promising to fight any legislation
designed to prevent general strike.
