Three Straight for
Hartley Rollers

To say the least the Consolidation
Coal company team had "hard luck
in the Y commercial league yesterday
evening and lost three straight games
to Hartley's. Both teams rolled good
scores, but were just little tnconsis.
tent In the first game the Hartley's
rolled t611 and easily deserved their
game. In the second and third game
they won by only small margin and
not until the last bail was rolled could
the victors be determined. P. Mills
came to the front yesterday evening
by rolling 435 in three games. Mills
also rolled high score of 165, which
Is the high league score. How they

E L WASTE TO HOGS

One of the most serious difficulties
Germany has had to face is the scare
ity of fat. This shortage has inn
paired the health and efficiency of the
people. We are now suffering a short
age of meat, and shall quite likely fee
a special scarcity of fats, though not
to any such extent as felt in Ger
many. Nevertheless, the situation
serves to emphasize the fact that the
hog furnishes one of the cheapest and
most practicable means Of producing
fat. Many products otherwise wasted
can be fed to swine, and, with their
well-known multiplying Characters
tics, hogs offer the most promising
opportunity for rapidly making up a
meat shortage. Every rural resident
should keep at least a sufficient num-
Der of hogs to all waste pro-
ducts.

GETTING READY
TO PREPARE

The Boston Transcript quotes our
officers in France as writing home to
urge the folks over here TO spare
them "the humiliation of having be-
lated military and naval preparations
for war paraded before the world as
prosecution of the war" The admo-
milton is valid, but the chief offenders
are not the families of the men who
are over in France now or who will
be in France later. The administra-
ton sets the fashion in this respect.
Whenever an appropriation is made,
whenever a new set of Offices in WASH
ington is rented, whenever a new
contract is made. whenever some more
deserving Democrats are added to the
civilian payroll of the war. an inspired
press agent - perhaps George Creel
himself-rushes into print to tell OF
the great things that J%osephus or
somebody else is doing to conquer the
Kaiser. And then. after many weeks.
the inquisitiye reporter who wants TO
record results goes around to the de-
partments at Washington and finds
that someone is beginning to think
hat it is time to plan to see if he
cannot arrange to get somebody who
will assist him in commencing to take
steps which will ultimately lead to
action. Meantime, money is being
spent; for the rented offices must be
paid for, the hired men must have
their salaries, the press agents must
receive their expense fund. and al
the other items of cost go right along;
and presently Congress will be asked
for more appropriations-and will be
told that it will hamper the President
in his prosecution of the war if any
committee is appointed to keep track
of how the money is to be expended.

The plaintiffs sued for two and quarter million dollars. alleging their properties had been damaged to that amount by the acts of violence of the union miners at their Prairie Creek mines in Sebastian County in July, 1914, following the attempt Of the mine operators to work their mines with nonunion men. Several lives were sacrificed in the shooting that occurred. and two troops of Unit ed State cavalary were sent to Fort Smith from Fort Sheridan by the gov ernment to uphold the orders of the United States marshal. who had been placed in charge of the property.

 VITAL STATISTICS
DECLARES THIS IS NECESSARY ON ACCOUNT OF NEW FED-
 ERAI CHILD LABOR LAW.
FULL RECORDS NECESSARY
These Statistics Are Also Necessary To Direct the Public Health Work lntellieently, 1t was Said, and
 To Attract Capital.
Little Rock

iAtbiN iso1hs
 The State Board of Health will take active steps to enforce the vital statistic laws in every county, Dr. c. W. Garrison, state health officer said This has become necessary, he said on account of the new federal child labor law, which requires birth certifi- cates as proof of a childs age.
 Complete records of deaths and births are necessary for other reasons, Dr. Garrison said, and in many sec tions no effort is being made at all to comply with the law, although the law has bean on record three years and in every township registration blanks are furnished. The records are valuable to determine child's school age under the compulsory edu- cation act. and to afford insurance companies statistics for passing their mortality records.
 In some sections of the state, Dr. Garrison said, the insurance compa- nies have based the death records on statistics furnished at a time when the death rate in those communities was much higher than it is now, thus causing a restriction of policies and higher premium rates. Many business concerns also require such records be- fore entering the state. These statis- tics are also necessary to direct the public health work intelligntly, it was said, and to attract capital.

GERMAN SUBMARINE SUNK BY AMERICANS
HAD SUBMARINE IN TOW WHEN CREW SANK OWN CRAFT
 WAS BRILLIANT STROKE.
CAME TO TOP HELPLESS
With Crew On Surface of Submarine Holding Hands Up Some One Be- low Opened Valves and Sea Ter
 TOT Began To Sink.

Washington.-The United States Navy has strafed a submarine for all the world to see. This time there is no shadow of doubt. Forty-fiye Ger man officers and crew are prisoners aboard destroyer, or landed at an allied port under guard. An Ameri- can destroyer has laid tow line aboard prize, only to have the prize wrested from her and sunk by the German crew.
 The news came first in an official bulletin from Secretary Daniels. It told of how a destroyer still unnamed, sighted periscope and charged, as destroyers do, on the fash An American depth bomb struck the sea viper. Nitally stricken, her horizon al rudder smashed, she surged gasp ing to the surface. And there keen Yankee eyes and straight-aimed Yan- kee shells found her, smashed her and sent the white flag of surrender flut- tering to the stubby mast above her coming tower.
 Crestfallen German sailors climbed out of the open matches, last the cap tain in his sea boots They had up their hands above their heads, and on the instant the American fire was withheld.
 There was no "spurlos versenkt" here. There was no repetition of the horrors of the Belgian Prince. One of the American destroyers, careless of whether another Uboat was lurking near, ranged alongside and, under the ancient code of the sea, sought to save those who were but now her mor- tai foes.
 Then in this situation, however, Germany broke the law. With the flag of surrender flying. with her crew uphanded on the deck, some one was told off below to open the submerging valves. Hardly had a tow line been made secure to the submarines deck when she began to settle. The quick, regular setting meant the tanks were being filled. She sank and with her the man who had stayed below tc do this deed. He, his surrendered" ship and his dead messmates went to the bottom together.
 These are the vivid details of the battle as they were learned first hand by the International News Service. Of. ficialIy the Navy Department confines itself to bare admission that sub marine has been accounted for that she was attacked by depth bomb and gunflre and that she surrendered and sunk when being towed.
