The real purpose of the Internation-
al Dry-Farming Congress and of ts
meetings is to teach methods for the
conquest of drouth. It has nothing to
do with politics, coloniration or re-
ligion It is not an agricultural col-
lege, neither does it conduct experi-
ment or demonstration farms It
merely collects from all possible
sources the available Information
about methods whereby farmers may
increase their, yields per acre, the
quality of I heir crops and their bank
accounts In all regions of light or
Irregular rainfall. It then passes
this Information on. through Its an-
nual conventions and its publications,
to the farmers in many nations
The International Congress now
has officers In nineteen nations and
members in sixty and its influence
for the development of farming meth-
ods is world-wide. Its work Is of
especial importance through the
southwestern states, all of which are
subject to occasional drouth which In

Million Dollar Loss
Hot Springs. Ark . Sept. '*.—More ;
than thirty blocks on the eastern edge
of the business district of Hot Springs
had been swept clean last night by fire
which at 9 o'clock threatened to eat
its way toward Central avenue, the
main business thoroughfare. A high
wind was blowing and the Hot
Springs and Little Rock fire depart-
ments, the latter hurried to this city
aboard Special trains, had made but
little headway in checking the flames. ,
At 10 o'clock last night indications
w ere that the fire, which was sweep-1
ing uncontrolled through the eastern ,
portion of Hot Springs would burn 1
Itcelf out at the foot of West Moua-1
tain, after destroying the greater part I
of the South Hot Springs residence;
district. Various estimates of the prob- 1
able monetary' loss range Trom 6 to 10 |
million dollars At 10 o'clock the j
wind began to subside.
The city fire department dynamited
buildings in the- path of the blaze I
and called ou tattle Hock for aid. The j
city water and supply plant was de- !
stroyed The Park and Jefferson ho-
tels were burned. Among the build- :
ings destroyed are the plant of Swift
and company, the Ozark Sanitarium
and the high school building.
At 9 o’cldtk Sidney Dillon, commis-
sioner of public utilities, estimatea
that at least 4 million dollars worth
of property had been destroyed.
The fire originated in a negro dwell-
ing on Church street, near Malvern
avenue, just east of the army and navy
hospital, shortly after 3 o’clock in
the afternoon and spread quickly to
the south and east. A number of small
dwellings, dry as Under as a result of
extended drouth, were easy prey for
the flames, which within a few min-
ptes were beyond control of the local
fire department. From this region the
fire spread to a manufacturing section,
then to a pretentious residence and
hotel district. No fatalities have been
reported.
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured
“I was taken with diarrhoea and
Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, per-
suaded me to try a bottle of Chamber-
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. After taking one does of it
I was cured. It also cured others that
I gave it to,” writes M. E. Gebhart,
Oriole, Pa. That is not at all unus-
ual. An ordinary attack of diagrhoea
can almost invariably be cured by one
or two doses of this remedy. For sale
