STRIKE CALLED.

The railroad strike that has
been threatening the country for
the past few weeks has been set
for Monday morning, September
4, at seven o clock. All efforts
to adjust the differences between
the railroad managers and the
railroad men have proved useless,
and President Wilson has now APP
pealed to Congress to pass legis-
lation that will relieve the situa-
ton.
As a result Of the order for the
strike Monday morning at seven
o clock, business of the country
is in a turmoil. Already the eff
feet Of the strike is being felt in
Springdale. The Frisco placed
an embargo on all freight ship
ments Wednesday, and now re-
fuse to accept ear OF perlshaele
freight that will not reach it S
destination by Saturday noon. Ap-
pie growers and shippers are
viewing the situation with great
alarm. as the strike will cause all
apple shipments to be held up.
Stock growers and shippers are
suffering likewise, as the Frisco
will not accept any ears OF apples
or stock for shipment TO market.
Just what the final outcome will
be is unknown at the time The
News goes to press.

REVIVAL CLOSES.

The revival services at the Bap-
fist Church, which have been IN
progress for the past two weeks
were brought to a close Sunday
night.
The sermons by Evangelist Fra
zier have been especially inter-
esting, and were well attended,
all through the two weeks, an
unusually large crowd being pres
ent Sunday night, and on other
nights the church building was
entirely too small to accommodate
all those who desired to attend.
Twelve additions to the church
were rendered the right hand Of
fellowship at the close of the sun
day night service. Evangelist
Frazier and his family returned
to their home Monday morning.

COT THE BOYS.

State Game Warden Fernandez
has been in Springdale several
days during the past week, and
has been busy rounding up some
Of the boys who have been fish
ing with artificial bait, without
first securing a license; and also
rounding up some who have
been SEEMING in the rivers near
Springdale.
SO far thirteen have answered
the roll call and have received the
minimum fine Of 81 and cost,
this on pleas of guilty, and they
have all plead guilty. This
makes the total amount per each
offense 500. There are still 9th
efs on the list Of the game war
den who have been reported as
violating the law, but SO far they
have eluded him; but he expects
to return. This is the first time
this section has been visited by
the game warden since the new
fish and game law became effec-
tive, and license to fish with ar
tificial bait have been in demand.

I'D RATHER BE SQUARE.

"Pd like to be rich, and l wonder who wouldn't,
And yet if it cost me what some people pay,
I'd like to be rich and find that l couldn't.
There's too much worth while that is lost by the way.
ITO sacrifice friends and ideals to surrender
My heart and my conscience, my soul and my mind
And sell all my dreams for a d~ollar-marked splendor
Would leave me too poor for the riches I'd find.
I'D like to be rich, there is pleasure in money
It's good stuff to have, and it's good stuff to spend,
1t helps you to buy your milk and your honey,
And gives you a chance to be nice to a friend.
I'D like to be rich, but I'd never be willing
10 pay such a price as some men do for gold
The cost is too high and the pace is too killing,
And too many things must be bartered and sold"

IF ONLY DREAMS ABIDE.

The average life is filled with its disappoint-
ments as the many dreams of youth are swept
away by the fierce gale of life's realities. Many
are the souls who fail to keep the magic charm of
their dreams before the after-taste of bitterness
which is left by the unkindnesses Of human
beings.
To all those we send a word of cheer, for rest
assured, whatever else may die, your dreams will
live forever, if you will only keep them. Clinton
Scollard has expressed the idea very beautifully
in a recent poem, and we quote here a few lines
that strike one with the greatness Of their theme:
If the things of earth must pass
Like the dew upon the grass,
Like the mists that break and run
At the forward sweep of the sun,
shall be satisfied
If only dreams abide.
To be discouraged is natural, to lose heart is
human, but to give up is cowardly, and no matter
what the dream is, which has been given to you
to keep, don't be a craven soul, hang on to it like
the last breath of life, for perhaps, after all, it
may be more valuable to you than wealth, or any
ching else which you will ever get on earth. What
ever comes into your existence, which threatens to
destroy this dream of yours, put it aside, and
nourish the dream within you, so that when the
other things Of earth" pass away like the dew
upon the grass" you will be satisfied because you
lind that your dreams have abided with you.

HI STATE OF WAR,

Continued progress marks the Allied drive in
the west, the Russians continue to make gains
near Lemberg and Kovel, the Saloniki attack ap-
pears to be opening favorably and Rumania is
making more slight gains against Austria-IIun-
gary.
On the other hand, no important victory has
yet fallen to Russians, French or English, the
Italian drive has stopped at Gorilla and the Teu-
tons and Bulgarians have successfully invaded the
strip of Rumania between the Danube and the
Black Sea, capturing many prisoners and two i'm
portant fortresses.
Nevertheless, the expected entry of Greece
and the heavy pressure everywhere exerted by the
Allies makes the picture a degree brighter for the
Entente. How long Germany and her allies, par
ticularly Bulgaria and Austria, will be able to
withstand the eternal attacking is unknown.
Whether their man power will give out is the prob
lem. The Russian General Brusiloff says the Aus
TRANS before him are more numerous than ever.
So has said Lloyd-George of the west. Can this
pc true? If so, how long can it endure. Answer
this and you solve the wars mystery and bring
the answer to queries Of peace. :.

One great trouble with us is our wastefulness
in our daily lives, in our homes, in our business
occupations. We have never learned the lesson
OF economy. Money comes easy with us, and it
flies out just as easily. Where other people in
other ~coutries stop to count the pennies, we only
count the dollars. If we as a people could only
acquire the habit of systematically slicing off a
penny here, another there, and keep it up in
every avenue Of our existence, the American peo-
pie in the course of a few years would be literally
rolling in wealth, whereas now a majority of us
labor right up to the brink of the grave in order
to live and support our families in comparative
comfort. Any intelligent person can make money
in this country, but only a wise one can save it.

CATCHING BRITISH SLACKERS.

NThe great war has forced every country to
adopN drastic methods in order to secure the i'm
medlatld mobilization OF all resources, in men ma
terial an& money.
The latest plan Great Britain was worked in
London Ia st week. All male passengers were de-
trained as. they ru lred out from the incoming
trains, while militia and civil police officials sort
ed the crowd, Daa ling over military age, and
marching The susg. cts into a corral roped off at
the station.
When thj ytN we c collected they were marched
through the Streets under guard, to the police sta
ton. Similar groaps followed. Those who were
able to satiSt the authorities as to their right to
be at large were lr go. Others were held pending
Investigation which will either free them or put
them IN the army.
t.s'to the number caught, the opinion differs.
j. newspaper says of three raids 419 were held
but only six were finally taken to the magistrate
under the charge of being an absentee under the
military act. Again of 1870 men taken at the rail
road raid only one proved an absentee and he pos
sessed certificate OF exemption from conbatant
service as a conscientious obiector.
But the authorities probably tell different sto-
ries. Results must pay, because the raids on rail
road stations, places Of entertainment and other
public resorts continue.

1t is suspected that two Americans were
aboard a ship recently sunk in the war zone, and
the vicious American press is predicting all sorts
OF action. We believe that the Central Powers
are trying to act up to their recent promises and
the body of the American opinion is, we think,
the same,
