I. W. W. MEMBERS
ARE NOT WANTED
Objectionable Agitators in Arizona
Are Sent Out of Country in Box
Cara Under Guard.
More than 1,100 member* of the In
dustrnl Workers of the World were
placed in box can and under strong
gi aid deported from Bizbee, Ariz., on
the 12th inat
F. E. King, division superintendent
o! the El Paso and Southwestern
railway, was in charge and was ar
rested by the authorities upon reach
ing Columbus, N. M. The authorities
Lt Columbus refused to permit the
unloading of the men at that place,
tnd a strong guard was thrown
about the train.
The trouble at Biz.bee was started
by a strike of metal workers, and it
is charpreel that leaders of the I. W.
W. prevented the men settling their
troubles and returning to work.
The action taken by the officers of
the Arizona city has centered the eyes
of the nation on an agitation which
has risen to considerable proportion*
in the west, after manifesting itself
sporadically from coast to coast for
years.
The Industrial Workers of the
World represent no particular trade
of class of workingmen. and the or
ganization is not recognized by the
American Federation of Lalxir or the
unions affiliated with the Federation.
Agitators and disturbance makers
of the worst type are to be found
within the order, and these men are
always found on hand when trouble
arises between employer and employe
where the workers are not member*
of labor unions affiliated with the Fed
eration.
They made their apearance simul
taneous with the beginning of the
' strikes in the copper mines of Ari
’ zona, and their work of creating dis
order has been aided by the high cost
■of food. These people are now spread
[ ing their doctrines among the miners
. of Colorado, Nevada anil Utah, and
i the lumber workers in Idaho. Wash
| ington and Oregon, and the disturb-
I ances reach into Mexico.
Threats attributed to this organ-
I ization are generally against proper
। ty. They say they base their de
mands and actions upon the theories
' of George Sorel, a Frenchman, and
got from him the plans of property
destruction as a means to gain their
ends, which they define as “industrial
i democracy." This property destruc-
Stion as advocated and practiced in
■ the west of late has taken many
’forma. Lumber mills have had their

costly saws splintered by spikes

tricts fruit trees have died after cop
per nails had been hammered into
them.
The organizers proclaim the organ
ization to be world-wide. The red
flag is the proposed universal banner
and each member of the organization
carries * red card. Membership is
sought in all branches of industry.
Organizers say 52,000 farm laborers
belong and that the plantation labor
of the south is going to be organized.
It is the theory of the I. W. W. that
each branch of the industry should
help the other in gaining ita ends.
Several members of this organiza
tion recently appeared at Fort Smith
and at Little Rock, but were unable
to foment trouble, because heads of
the labor unions were able to warn
their members of the danger of lis
tening to their plans, as in almost
every case where they receive any at
tention from the workingmen. the lat
ter find conditions brought about
making it difficult to peaceably adjust
legitimate wage differences.
ROBS BANK SINGLE-HANDED.
On the afternoon of the 12th inst
the Bank of Richland at 'Drake’s
Creek, Madison county, was robbed by
a lone bandit, who secured SBBS in
money and escaped before the robbery
became known.
The robber walked into the bank
and held up the cashier, Earl Hill, at
the point of a gun. He marched Hill
to the vault and locked him in by
turning the combination. He then
looted the cash drawers at his leisure
and walked out on the street. Several
men saw him leave the bank, but they
knew nothing of the robbery.
Hill remained in the vault for some
time, and was finally liberated by his
mother, who went to the bank to see
him. He was nearly prostrated by his
experience and by the close confine
ment. He attracted his mother's at
tention by calling for help when she
entered the bank, and she opened the
vault door from directions given by
her son.
KILL WEED; PREVENT FEVER.
“Cut rag weed now.”
This advice is given by Dr. C. W.
Garrison of the state lioard of health
and is to be followed up by him in a
campaign against rag wed in Arkan
sas.
“Rag weed is the cause of 90 per
cent of hay fever," says Dr. Garrison,
“and if the weed is cut before the
pollen ripens and begins to fly, the an
nual attack can lie prevented.”
Many Arkansans have been forced
to go north each year because of the
recurrence of hay fever, remaining
until frost, but Dr. Garrison says this
will not be necessary if the rag weed
is cut now, and he has started a cam
paign to obliterate the weed.

SHUN THE WILD CAT
INSURANCE WRITERS
Wild-cat insurance companies are
operating in Arkansas, but as they
are without the state, it is difficult for
the state insurance authorities to get
action on them, hence the people »rc
warned to deal with no insurance
agent, neither life nor fire, who has
not a certificate from the state depart
ment of insurance, showing they are
representing a company licensed to do
business in the state.
There is a fire insurance company,
with headquarters given in a Texas
city, that has secured a number of
agents in small towns in Arkansas,
who are ignorant of the fact that the
company is not authorized to do busi
ness in the state. Until tl ere is an
unpaid loss, the insurance commis
sioner has no evidence of this com
pany doing business in the state. As
it is supposed to lie a Texas concern,
he can prosecute only the local agent
The company referred to is not even
licensed to do business in Texas.
Commissioner Buillion can proceed
against the local insurance agent who
writes policies for the wild-cat com
punier, but they are usually ignorant
men whom juries hesitate to convict,
and for that reason he deems it best
to warn the people, and let them be
cn their guard.
PITIFUL COURT SCENE.

given into the custody of the sheriff

KICK OF GIVING TOO
MUCH FREE PUBLICITY
Chicago, July 12. —N. A. Huse, vice
president of the American Press As
sociation, insisted in a speech here to
day that newspapers should not give
f ree publicity to any cause, not ex
cepting the Red Cross or liberty loan.
“Right now the government should
be advertising the next liberty loan.”
said Mr. Huse. Individuals paid mil
lions to advertise the bonds and the
newspapers were asked to feature
them on the first page long after they
had lost their news value. With the
next liberty bond issue to be floated
on September 15, the government
should use co-ordinated, controlled
advertising, paid for by the govern
ment. The president has just said
manufacturers are entitled to a just
profit, but the newspapers are ex
pected to give their space to the gov
ernment without remuneration.”
YOUNG MEN FOR NAVY.
The government desires to enlist an
unlimited number of young men with
a good public school education, of a
sound and healthy body, and a slight
knowledge of gasoline or electric
motors, as landsmen of quartermast
er. U. S. navy aviation corps, and
landsman for machinists' mates, U. S.
navy aviation corps; also men with a
very good knowledge of the above
mentioned motors as machinists’
mates. U. 8. navy aviation corps. All
these men who pass the required ex
amination will be sent immediately to
the United States aviation school, at
Pensacola, Fla. Men between the
ages of 20 and 25 are preferred.
All interested should address M.
Binnock, recruiting officer. Jonesboro,

CRISIS PENDING IN GERMANY.
All kind* of sensational reports are
coming from across the waters about
th* official family of the German gov
ernment,
Aa to the authenticity or truthful
ness of these reports, nothin* can be
asserted as a fact, but so long as
there is lacking authoritative state
ments from the German government,
it is natural to presume that affairs
are in a disorganised state.
A report has reached Holland that
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. the im
psetal chancellor. has raei*ned, and
that the entire Csemen government
will ratirawith Mm. Thin is baaed, It
is saM, on ths failure of ths main
committee of the reichstag to vote a
war credit, which is withheld unless
the government declares its policy re
garding peace and reform, which the
government has declined to do. The
Vossiche Zeitung and Loki Anzieger,
both of Berlin, declare the resignation
of the chancellor was prompted by a
letter from the clerical party, declar
ing that the conclusion of a peace
would be rendered more difficult if he
retained his office. It ia stated the
emperor has not acted ou the resigna
tion.
HOW TO CAN TOMATOES.
Select firm, well formed tomatoes.
Scald minute and a half sr until
skins loosen. Dip quickly into and
out of cold water. Peel and remove
stem sand cores. Pack directly into
cans or hot jars. Press down with a
tablespoon .add no water. Add a level
teaspoonful of salt per quart. Put
the rubber rings and caps of jars into
position but do not tighten fully. Seal
tin cane completely. Place the packed
containers on a false bottom in a ves
sel of water sufficiently deep to cove
them by one inch and allow to remain
at a boiling temperature for 2 min

HOW TO SAVE GASOLINE.
A writer in Farm and Fireside
says:
"Sincet he high cost of living has
l*gun seriously in include the pri-e
of gasoline, I have been seeking to
devise ways and means by which a
greater mileage can beo btained. A
f«w of my experiments have prove!
sc successful that I will give them sot
the benefit of other motorists.
“If one will remember to leave the
cut-out open when coasting along un
dulating country roads the engint
may lie cut off completely without
fear of bursting the muffler. The
slight exertion of energy necessary to
throw the switch off and on w’ll, in a
day's running, save a considerable
amount of fuel.
“Driving on pavement and city
streets one can also he economical by
shutting off the engine half a block or
more before the stopping place is
icrched. It is quite unnecessary, and
harmful as well, to tax the motor with
ca- only to jam on the brakes at th ■
I curb a moment later The natural im
! petus of the ear will carry it much
faster than one realizes.
! “A strong spark may l>e employed
i to strengthen the motive power of th •
gasoline. Inexperienced drivers to.>
often leave their spark lever below its
point of highest efficiency, thereby
overheating the motor and reducing
the speed x’alue of the open throttle.
“Through these and similar simple
devices 1 am getting an average of 16
miles to the gallon from my big Six.

DRAFT DRAWING
WEEKOFJULY26
All Registered Men Will Then Know
When Their Turn Comes to Go
Into Training for War.
Notice has been given that the
first drawing in the selection of the
aational army will take place during
the week of July 26.
A plan of drawing will be followed
under which a definite place in the
waiting lists will be given every one
of the 9,800,000 who registered. Those
at the head of the list in each county
or city district will be called first be
fore the examining boards and the ob
ligation will pass on down the line as
long as men are needed.
At the drawing numbers will be
used ranging from No. 1 to a number
corresponding to the total in the larg
est district of the country.
The first number drawn will de
termine what man in each district is
to lie taken first. If it be No. 10, for
example, it will mean that the man in
each district holding local card No. 10
will be called for examination.
The second number drawn will de
termine what man in each district is
to be taken second, and so on as long
as men are needed.
Those not needed for the first war
army will retain their positions on
I the lists and these positions will de-
I termine the order of their liability
when they are needed.
The drawing will be public and each
number will be announced as it is
drawn.
Obviously there will be high num
bers drawn, for which there are no
corresponding registrants in small dis
tricts. The smallest district in the
country is se.id to have but 187 regis
trants and the largest about 7,000.
Whenever a number beyond the total
in any given district comes out it will
tie a blank for that district. Thus if
the theory works out evenly, the
larger districts will be constantly as
sessed in excess of the smaller on a
pro rata liasis corresponding to their
size.
Arkansas was the twenty-second
state to announce readiness for the
drawing.
