 12,OOO Club Members for 1917.
 There is no question but that the Eoys who belong to the various clubs of the state are learning a great deal enjoy their work, and are receiving larger yields and greater receipts for their efforts than those who do not belong to the clubs. All Arkansas farm boys between the ages of 10 and IS years should belong.
 Every father and mother interested in the future of boys, of the club age should urge them to join a club so that they may compete favor ably later on with the boys of the Eeighborhood who are taking ahvan. tage of the instruction which is be- ing given to them by w. J. .Jernigan and H. K. Sanders and all of tn, county agents.

 FIRST CORN CLUB Jefferson County Demonstration Agent Launched Great Movement in White County Nine Years Ago.
 Ten Thousand Now Enrolled.

From AZ members in 1908 to more than 6,O0O members in 1916 shows the remarkable growth of the Boys Corn. Pig, Cotton and Peanut clubs of the state under the direction of w. J. Jernigan, assisted by H. K. San ders, in charge of the Pig clubs. During these eight years more than 20,OOO boys have received instruction and carried on demonstrations in growing corn, peanuts, cotton and pigs in every county in the state at one time or another.
 Mrs. Lucy Critz, now home demon- stration agent in Jefferson county, has the distinction of organizing the first corn club of the state in White county nine years ago. Since the work began the clubs have flour1shed until at the present time the total membership of the Boys and Girls clubs approximates 10000.
 Remarkable Records Made.
 Many remarkable records have been made by the blue ribbon farmer boys of Arkansas during the exist ence of the Boys clubs, and the aver age yield of tho corn club members each year has been double that Of the state. The same is true of both cotton and peanut yields, while the pig club boys have demonstrated that 9 hound or more of flesh can be put on hog each day at a cost of less than four cents pound, while in many instances pork can be produc- ed as low as two and one-half cents pound.
 Many Boys Win Scholarships. | Through hard work and persist ent effort 10 follow, the instructions of the men in charge of the clubs of the state, many boys have won lccal fame and scholarships which have enabled them to attend school thus becoming real scientific farmers and certainly most desirable citizens for any community.
 Parents Believe in Club Work. Early in the spring the father o1 Elsie Davis. a little girl living ir Poinsett county, bought a 30-pound pig for her at the apparently exorbi- tant price of $10. Eleven weeks from the day she received the pig it weigh ed 143 pounds at cost of about two cents a pound. At that time Elsie's father said:

MUELLER WOULD GIVE CITY,
HALL CONTROL OF SCHOOLS
Deneen Republicans, Harrison
Democrats and Sullivan Democrats
today sent word from Chicago to
their organization men in Springfield
that unless the Mueller bill is beat
en- or amended Mayor Thompson will
hold absolute control of the Chicago
school board until 1921 and will have
a powerful minority until 1928.
Backed by Sen. Ettelson, who is
also Mayor ThOmpson's personally
appointed corporation cOUnsel-and
backed further by Sen. George Har-
ding and others of the Thompson
LUndin organization - the Mueller
bin looks like one of the best cards
being played by the City Hall crowd
to keep its hold.
The present school board of 81
members would be abolished by the
Mueller bill. A smaller board of nine
members would be substituted. Five
members would be appointed by
Mayor Thompson in May, 1917, to
serve until May, 1918, when he
would, following the Mueller law, re-
appoint these five. They would serve
until 1923.
The remaining appointments |
which would cinch Mayor Thomp-
sons grip on the school board would |
be two for a term of two years, ap-
pointed May, 1919; two for three |
years, appointed May, 1917; two for
a term of four years, appointed May, !
1917.
Millions of dollars Of public school |
moneys from school land leases are
involved in the Mueller bill. AS it |
now reads it would empower the
school board to sell school lands at |
any prices without check by city /
council or other branches of the city /

Bernstorff Aiding
Foes Of Hollweg
In German Crisis
Ex-Ambassador Reported to
Have Blamed Chancellor for
u. S. Entry Into War
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. July 12.-Count von
Bernstorr, former German Ambassador
to the United States, is a factor in the
German governmental crisis, accord
20 reliable information received IN
Official relies here. He was reported
to-day to be an anti-pan-Germanlst,
and 70 be affiliated with the moderates.
II vas related that when Count Won
Bernstorf returned to Germany he
experienced difficulty in seeing the
Emperor. The Foreign Once blocked
his efforts, giving him assignments
which made it impossible for him to
make an appointment with the Kaiser.
Finally, however, the returned am
bassador saw the Emperor. but what
transpired has not been made known.
The statement WAS made to-day, how
ever, that since his first audience with
Emperor William Count Won Bern
storff's influence in German politics
has increased. He was known 10 be
opposed to Foreign Minister Limmer-
mann. and it was believed that he was
not in hearty sympathy with Chan
cellor Won -Hollweg. He was
originally sent to the United States as
ambassador by Prince Won Buelo~'
who has been mentioned as a possible
successor to Hollweg, and persons in
innate with the count during his resi-
dence in Washington believe he IS
now working for the elevation of the
prince.
Count Won Bernstorff was repre-
sented as having taken the position
that he might have prevented the en-
trance of America into the war II he
could have communicated with the
Emperor, and TO have intimated that
the Chancellor had withheld from the
Emperor pertinent information con-
cerning the attitude of this country.

Long Period

lFrom N. Trihunn Hur.aul

Washington. July l2.-John Jones,
aged twenty-seven, who is registered
for the selective draft and is anxious
TO find out whether he will have TO
shoulder a rife or not, is going to
have long, long wait.
As TO the exemption list. il is like
the apple core in President Wilson's
fsvoritc story there amt going to

The drawing, which may take place
next week, or more likely the week
after, is going to determine only the
order in which the registered men are
10 be drawn.
Secretary Of War Baker to-day threw
more light on the draft plans than has
been shed ye-. lie explained that. CON
trary to the general belief. there Will
be no drawing. after which every one
registered will know whether or not he
is going to be soldier. The drawing
will merely decide the numerical order
i'm which the registered men are 70

is the last one TO be drawn will have
a pretty clear idea that he will never
be forced TO don uniform. while a
man holding one OF the first numbers
will know pretty well that he ia 10 be
chosen, but there will be some hun
dreds of thousands. II not millions, OF
Young men who will be kept on the
anxious bench.
Il is now the belief OF the provost

Ter OF men who must be drafted Is
approximately $4,000. This VIII

the strength Of the regular army and

The next step will be 70 notify ap-

Russians Capture Austrian
Headquarters in Galicia
Pursue Retreating Teutons Beyond the Lomnica
and Halcz in Swift Advance Toward Lemberg
Fighting Develops on Northern Battle Front

before. though drive OF fifteen miles
in three days indicates a remarkable
pace. Korniloff's wedge, which has
pierced the enemy line on thirty
four mile front and has exerted power
full pressure over a forty-two-mlle hne'
is being driven into the same country
over which Einsingen's cavalry swept
forward in 1915, so it is familiar
ground 10 the Russians.
Great Results Looked For
Experts here think that Kornilofts
attack may lead TO fsr-reaching re-
suits. There are no indications thus
far that the Germans have Withdrawn
any considerable force from the West
for service on the Russian front, but
that is hardly strange. as It IL doubt
full whether they considered kornilof
would succeed in smashing through.
Kalusz is about eighteen miles west
Of Halicz. while Dolina, toward which
the Russians are aiming and Thicn
seems certain TO fall, is seventeen
miles further on. Stryz is forty-two
miles from Halicz in a nOrthwesterly
direction and is roughly south Of Lem
berg. with which IL i connected by
good rail lines. However. with the
Teuton line demolished west OF Halle,
even as far as the Russians have gone,
it is a question whether the Austrian.
under General Won Bothmer can hold
their present defence on the Zlota
I.ipa or even put up any important re-
slstance after they have Withdrawn
westward 10 the Gnita Lipa. Kornilof

ing 70 strike their fortiications on the

The capture Of Lemberg is no longer
merely a possibility, in the opinion OF
London. IL has become probability.
