e FOURTH OBSERVED IN FLOODED TOWN Arkansas City Folk Pick Lone Dry Spot and Hold Spe- cial Services. By the Associated Press. ARKANSAS CITY, Ark., July *“Quiet as a lamb” was the observa- tion by Mayor C. D. Hemingway on Arkansas City's celebration of Inde- pendence day. Flooded for the third time in a year, with traffic confined to_ small boats and the day too wet for fireworks, the citizenry gathered on the one remain- | ing dry spot in the town and held a municipal patriotic and religious service. Fishing in Streets. After that, the most of the popula- tion went either for a boat ride or fishing. To fish one paddles either downtown or to the residential sec- tion, selects any likely looking second- story porch and drops a line into the submerged street. Everything in the town is going along in as nearly a normal manner as possible, Mayor Hemingway said. City government activities in the main have been neglected, he added. Marriages are on the slump, because as the official explained, “the coupls can't get over to the courthouse e cept by boat, and I suppose they're afraid to try it.” Skiff Wedding Trip. However, the flood did not prevent one couple from paddling up to the license bureau. After the ceremony they took a wedding trip in their skiff. The flood waters which flowed through breaks in the levee above the town a week ago had receded from ®ix to eight inches from Saturday. In some sections of the town an attempt was being made to keep stores open by building scaffolding over the re- maining two to four feet of water. GIRL BANK EMPLOYES ARE TAUGKT TO SHOOT Five in First Class Graduated From School on Reception to Bandits. By the Associated Press. MUNCIE, Ind., July 5.—Muncie has & reception committee for bank ban- dits—five girls who shoot and shoot stralght. ‘When the Indiana Bankers’' Associ- ation urged that bank employes learn to handle firearms, H. C. Almy, vice president of a Muncie bank, opened a target range for the employes of financial institutions. Alberta Bodkin, Esther Conroy, Grace Wilkinson, Dorothy Buffington and Clarice Thornhill are the first of the “sweet girl graduates” from Almy's school. o “Sunlight Lamp” for Blooms. Faded flowers and plants are being revived by artificial sunlight in Lon- don. One restaurant has a “sunlight lamp” for the benefit of sickly plants, and bouquets of patrons are refreshed while they dine. A wild orchid re- turned to bloom after eight hours of the Dealing rays. —_— Elephant Ignores Fences. ' An' elephant which escaped from a circus at Newtown, Australia, recent- 1y, evidently considered fences beneath his notice, for he walked through them without stopping. Pedestrians and ve- hicles were narrowly missed and gar- dens_destroyed before he was cap- tured in a nearby town. ‘Whale Meat a Delicacy. ‘Whale meat is becoming a favorite @ish among the poorer classes of Ja- pan, principally because of its cheap- ness. It is prepared in several ways, but the most popular method is that of eating it raw, chipped fine, mixed with vegetables and served with a dressing of sauce. The meat has a flavor similar to venison. e Resin from 'the Almaciga tree is used in making fine varnish and pat- ent leather, and by natives for driving away mosquitoes. SPECIAL NOTICE.

These men of the West certainly do go in for snappy colors, No color is too dazzling or guudy for them. Every other man wears a bandanna of either pink, red, vellow or grass green, and silk shirt of a different color, but just as brilliant in its hue. Chaps of cither leather or angora, massive som- breros, ranging from cream to gra and blacks. More color is added the. presence of many Indians, some of them in war paint and feathers, with clinking bangles flashing in the sun, some - wearing hand-me-down clothes and two-gallon hats. Then there are the visitors from the Fast in tweeds or palm beaches, and the ranch hands ayd farmers in denim. Sam Brownell, “hard-boiled” arena man, who has been master of cere- monies at the Belle Fourche round-ups for years, has arranged an interesting program for the afternoon. and, ac- cording to those who are authorities on such matters, the President and M Coolidge are going to get many a thrill before the show comes to an end. To test the skill of the expert riders who are to compete for the purses the management has on hand 60 wild horses, an equal number of bucking Dbronchos, 65 trained horses to be 1id- den in the fancy and trick riding con- tests, more than 120 steers, mostly longhorns from Texas; 50 calves to figure in the calf-roping contests, and a score or more wild cows that the riders will attempt to rope and then milk, the first man filling a quart bot- tle to be declared the winner. Wild Horses to Race. Besides the wild horse riding and wild cow roping and milking contests there will be trick ropers, who will attempt to snare four horses running abreast, all sorts of lariat throwing; trick riders going from one side of their running mounts to the other un- derneath, crawling between the flailing legs, horse races between cowboys and cowgirls and between Indian braves and their squaws. But probably the most thrilling part of the program will be the bulldogging, which consists of a rider leaping from his horse be- side a running steer and then throw- ing” the latter. A great finale will be the wild horse race. In this event the cowboys work in twos. Each pair is given an un- broken horse to saddle in the open and ride around the half-mile track. Cavirymen from Fort Meade will do some fancy and trick riding. Among the riders in the various con- tests will be the cream of the West- ern rodeo riders, and they will in- clude five or six women. More than $13,000 has been offered in prizes and the entry blanks and signs about the surrounding country say, “The money is here, cowboy. Come and get it” President Coolidge no doubt will appear with his big two-gallon hat. He could come all dressed up in the full regalia of the western cowboy it he so chose, but this is highly im- probable. He was presented with a complete outfit at his birthday party yesterday afternoon on the front Jawn of the State game lodge. The out- fit, along with a saddle, bridle, spurs, martingale, blanket and riding horse, was presented by the mounted Boy Scouts troop from Custer, S. D. The cowboy band from Terry, Mont., which ™ furnished the music for the birthday party, presented the Presi- dent with chaps, which contained the word “@al” on the flaps of each leg. Receives Many Gifts. The President received a number of other presents and almost countless messages of good wishes and con- gratulations from all over the world. Several birthday cakes were received, one of them being personally pre- sented by Mrs. Mary Halley, one of the early residents of Rapid City, but a native of Washington. Her late husband, James Halley, and his broth- er John, both migrated from Washing- ton to the Black Hills in the early eighties, and they were the first tele: graph operators in this section. The newspaper correspondents and photographers were guests of the Presldent and Mrs. Coolidge at the The cowboy band amused the Presi- dent greatly when it sang a song about “Cal's Our Pal.” The gathering was a most demo- cratic one, the President and Mrs. Coolidge mingling with their guests in a most easy and friendly manner. The one big event of the afternoon, how- ever, was when Mr. Coolidge appeared attired in his new cowboy outfit— chaps, high-heeled boots and all. He wag photographed in all this costume standing beside the horse given to him by the Boy Scouts, but he did not mount the animal. CITY’S FOURTH SAFE . e WM. H. SOMERVELL, Secretary.

Inspector Shelby looked up the present police regulation regarding fireworks and found it was adopted after the July 4 casualties of the year, 1908, reading as follows: “No firecracker, squib or other fire- i | works nor noisemaking explosives of any kind shall be sold or delivered, discharged or set off within the c(t}' of Washington or the fire limits of the District of Columbia, or in.the more densely populated portions of be | the said District.” bonds ar e coupons. thereon at ‘m mi mpar; Puiding, 815 Fitteontn.

This. regulation, in the opinion of Inspector Shelby, has no teeth in it, in so far as the bringing in of fireworks is’concerned, and consideration is to be given to amending the law to pre- vent importation of fireworks and also to make possession of them illegal. Associated Press reports from all sections of the country indicate that the sharp deciine from old-time Inde- pendence day death tolls was shown again this year when fatalities re- ported directly from fireworks, guns and similar objects used to celebrate the day hovered around the dozen mark. More than 700 persons were injured, however, including 214 treated in hos- pitals in New York, 14 in Washington, 228 at St. Louis, 35 in Chicago, 51 in Milwaukee, 3 in Westfield, Mass., and from 25 to 30 at a celebratjon in the forest preserve near Chicago. Strict laws governing the use of fire- works undoubtedly helped to hold down the casualty toll. In Milwaukee a drive against violators of city ordi- nances had counted 1,200 arrests over the week end. List of Fatalitles.

That a “water dog” or “pup fish” had been found in the Desjardins Canal has been reported from Dunras, Canada. It has four legs and barks like a young dog. Others of the spe- cies have been found in the Missis- sippi Valley, but Canadian naturalists are puzzled as to how any could travel so far to Canada. Music Society Builds Hall. A musical society is to erect the largest hall of its kind in Havana, It will be in Vedado, a suburb, and will have a'seating capacity of 2,660. The auditorium will be connected with a clubhouse for members. Concerts, operas and theatrical productions will be presented. Dispute Over Wall Lands Man in Jail On Order of Court Differences between two neigh- bors over the maintenance of a wall by one of them which caused water to be dammed up on_ the property of the other resulted to- day in the signing of an order of commitment for contempt of Wil liam H. Pearce of 2908 Pomeroy road southeast and he was sent to jail until he complies with the decree of the lower court to remove the wall, ‘The trouble started in 1925 when it is alleged Pearce built a wall on his land which dammed up the rain water, causing it to back up in the yard of James E. Scott of 2912% Pomeroy road south- east. Pearnce, following a decision against him in the lower courts, appealed, but the upper court sus- tained the decree of the lower court on the ground that the wall constituted a nuisance. He was ordered to abate the nuisance by razing the wall. Pearce failed to comply with the decree of the lower court, which was signed by Justice Siddons, with the result that he was today ordered com- mitted for contempt. s e IR (B In the heart of London is a little grocery store which has been in the possession of one family for 211 sana’wzch%s- try this “Take thin slices of tomato, some nice stiff mayonnaise and opena. canof Underwood’s.
