COMMUNITY PICNIC
 PLANNED FOR JULY 4
Big Time Will Include Parade, Home Guard Drilling, Speak ing, Plenty of Music, Ball Game, and Plenty to Eat.

Plans are we'll under way for a large time on July 4, and the plans are being drawn by the ever-faithful Prescott Concert Band, who will be responsible for all the good time we have on that day. This is not news gab" but the real thing, and prepara- tions have already begun and when the dawn of the day of all days dawns everything will be in readiness for celebration that has never been equalled in our beloved little city, for you may look back in your scrap book of failures" and you will not find the name of our city band therein. They have the name of doing every thing that they have started out to do, and doing it up brown" Don't expect them to do it all by themselves though; every man, woman and child in Prescott can talk it and work for it and you will be surprised at the immense time everybody can have. It is true that the war is on-if you will excuse this moss-back and time worn expression, but let us celebrate our glorious independence while we are here to celebrate.
 The program has not beth prepared in detail but we couldn't withhold the announcement, so we give below some of the things that will be pulled off for your amusement:
 The city park will be the scene of activity, elaborate street parade, pub- lie speaking, band concerts to your liking, Home Guard drilling, one of ye old time ball games, and record smashing tennis tournament. The program in full will be published later, but in the meantime boost and knock all you can, just any old way to advertise the community picnic on July 4.

IDEAL WAREHOUSE SYSTEM
 AT ATLANTA AND N. O.

Little Rock, June 14.-Commission- CT Page has returned from a visit to Atlanta, Mobile, Montgomery and New Orleans, where he made study of the warehouse systems to secure suggestions for the proposed Arkan- sas system. New Orleans and At lanta have the ideal plans. The At lanta warehouse is a private enter prise, costing $4,OO0,00O, built in units of reinforced concrete, with a capacity of 100000 bales, and with an insurance rate of 20 cents on the hundred, the lowest in the world. The New Orleans warehouse was erected two years ago by the state and city jointly, at cost of $3,000 ,000. It has PA compartments, or units, 1900 bales each, 24x100x40 feet. Other units are to be added so that it will have an ultimate capacity of one million bales. There is a grain ele- vator in connection. The insurance rate is 30 cents hundred. The ware housing charges are nominal, and the warehouse receipts are negotiable anywhere in the United States at 5 per cent.

 SUNK LAST WEEK
g of Victims Were Ships of Over 1,600 TOns-U. s. Steam CT KrOonIand Rams and Sinks Submarine.

An Atlantic Port, June 13.-Des- truction of German submarine by the American steamship. Kroonland was reported by the merchantmen upon her arrival today in an American harbor Her officers refused to dis cuss the encounter, except to say that by agile maneuvering the Kroon- land managed to ram and sing the U-boat shortly after two of the un- derwater boats had attacked the merchantmen, one from either side The Kroonland lost a blade iron, her propeller.
 London, June 13-The weekly ship ping report issued by the admiralty today states that g British merchant men of more than 1,6O0 tons were sunk. Ten merchantmen of less than that tonnage also were sunk, togeth- CT with six fishing vessels.
 A summary of the report follows:
 Arrivals, 2,767; sailings, 2,s22.
 British merchant ships over 1,60O tons sunk by mine or submarine, in- cluding one previously, 22; under 1,600 tons, including one presiously, 10.
 British merchant ships unsuccess- fully attacked, including seven prev iously, 23.
 British fishing xessels sunk, G."
 This weeks figures show consid- erable increase in submarine activity as compared with recent weeks. Last Wednesdays statement reported a total of only 23 vessels sunk against SS now announced. The Aggregate is the largest of any for month past Last week only 15 vessels of more than 1,600 tons were sunk and three of less than that tonnage.
 The figures of submarine sinkings began to show falling off early in May from the heavy totals of April when during one week, that which ended on April 22, 40 vessels of more than 500 tons were sunk and 15 of smaller tonnage. During the week ended May 6 the total of the larger merchantmen sent to the bottom fell to 24. For each of the three follow ing weeks the total of vessels of the larger stood at IS while the number of smaller craft sunk each week was covered by single figures. Last week the minimum for the entire period since February was struck.

German U-Boats Excel the First Months Destruction
 By 50 Per Cent
SUBMARINES HARD
 ON ENGLISH SHIPPING
British Merchant Fleet Cannot Long Bear Sinkings al Present Rate and Adequate Substitutions by
 New Ships Impossible

Amsterdam, April 2s4fvia London ) In the first two months of unrestricted submarine warfare, shipping to the amount of more than 100000 tons was sunk by the Germans, Dr. Kari Helf- ferich, German secretary of interior, told the Reichstag main committee yester- day. Asserting that the submarine cam paign was puoving to be great success, he continued:
 The first months results excelled the best previous results by 25 per cent the second months by 50 per cent. Exact figures cannot be given. but in the first two months the freightstonnage sunk ex- ceeded 100000, of which more than l. 0Oo,0 600 was British.
 Perception of economic conditions in England is made difficult by the fact that the British government since the beginning of unrestricted submarine war fare has decided on far-reaching sta tistical concealment. England could no longer afford the publicity of the earlier period of the war.
 From our figures many estimate the total tonnage still available for British trade at 1000, 900 to 1o,0oJ0Oo. It is clear the British merchant fleet cannot long bear sinkings at the present rate. Ade- quate substitutions by new construction are impossible. as the British increase in ships in 1916 notwithstanding every ef- fort, was not sufficient even to replace the normal diminution of peace time
