was held Friday at the home Of
Newt 0'Harra, this being the sixth
occasion Of the sort in the Pea Ridge
neighborhood. The neighbors out
there adopt this method of getting
together and having a good socia-
Bile time, while at also doing one
another good turn. Big piles of
log wood are attacked with cross
cut saws. and when apretitcs are
well whetted the workers sit down
to splendid farm dinner prepared
by the women folk. Exercises and
music fill the evening hours, and
the days toll has become pastime.
The program at the 0'Harra farm

act" on the part Of Austria against the
United States; there have been rather
a s,eies of acts short Of being classed
as cause for war. They go back to the
beginning Of the European war.
Long before former Ambassador
Dumba was uncovered and sent home
TO Vienna as an instigator Of strikes in
American manufacturing plants the
Government had evidence that the Aus
trian diplomatic and consular service
was being used in this country for
Germany's warlike purposes. The Sc
cret service found the Austrian diplo-
matte code and the Offices Of Austrian
consuls were being used for activities
Germany could not carry on in the
United states with her own officials
In come cases where submarines sank
unresisting passenger liners with great
loss Of life, 10 appeared that the U-boats
themselves We're Austrian, but there was
little doubt that the officers and crew
were Germans and that the submersi-
bles were acting under German orders.
The most striking case Of that sort was
the destruction of the Italian liner
Ancona, in which responsibility never
was established definitely.
The first attack on an American ship
which attracted the attention Of the
tank steamer Petrolite. An Austrian
ank steamer Petrolite. An Austrian
submarine fred on the ship, killed a
number Of the crew and forcibly took
off supplies while the master was held
as a hostage on the submarine. Moth
ing but evasive diplomatic correspond
ence ever came of IL. The American
steamer Schuykiu, sunk last week, is
believed to have been sent down by an
Austrian submarine but there has been
no absolute proof.
German submarine in the Mediterra-
mean have been flying tho Austrian tlae
and Austrian submarines have been
flying the German Nag Apparently
commanders Of both navies have been
interchanging flags to avoid responsi
bility for lawless acts.
Quite aside from the question Of
covert acts, however, the principal
consideration Of the Government in de-
Gliding on war with Austria-Hungary is
the nature Of the alliance between Aus
tria and Gefmany, which made il
anomalous to war with the latter anC
not with the former.

RAIN AND WIND
STORM SUNDAY
THE HEAVIEST RAIN AT ONE
TIME THIS YEAR. 3.52
INCHES FELL.
High Wind Blew Over Windmills,
Coal Sheds and Took Roof Off
Old Brick School House.

The rain Sunday night was the
heaviest that has visited this section
at one time this year. According to
the local weather observer the fall
was 1852 inches. The raincloud came
from the north and west. A high
wind drove the rain in binding
sheets. Many Easements at the busi-
ness houses and residences were
flooded with water and all the low
places in the surrounding country
are filled with water.
The high wind blew over several
windmills and coal sheds, and the tin
roof on the old brick school building
was stripped off. The sudden down.
pour flooded the streets, and there
are several cave-ins in the sewer
bitches over the city. The driving
rain found many roofs in the city
that failed to keep the interior of
the building dry.
The rain will be of much benefit
as the farmers had been complaining
about the need for more moisture the
last few days.
