.L|KEN DELARA TO
PROFESSOR FERRER

Los Angeles, Oct. 2O.-Frierds Of L.
Gutierrez de Lara, the Mex an So
cialist organizer, who was arrested
here Monday as an alien anarchist, to-
day launched campaign to raise the
$500 necessary to secure his release
on bail De Lara is practically with
out funds to pay his attorneys and the
cost of legal proceedings. A mass
meeting will be held TO raise the bail
money. According TO immigration
Inspector Ridgway, if De Lara can es-
tablish an American residence of more
than three years time, and also re-
flute the anarchistic charges he can
not be deported Sonora de Lara de-
clares the Mexican government seeks
her husbands life. The local carpen,
ters union is comparing de Lara with
Professor Ferrer of Spain Who was
recently executed.
Last night they passed resolutions
protesting against "the Russian
methods used by the enemies Of De
Lara" offering the services OF the
union in opposition "to methods that
would shame a czar or disgrace any
civilized community"

Of AMUSEMENT
PLACES MUST Be CAUTIOUS

Pendleton cigar store men, proprie-
tors of soft drink establishments and
places of public amusement had better
mend their ways for trouble is in store
for them. Despite the fact that the
last session of the legislature passed
a law prohibiting the allowing of min
ors to participate in the games of
chance played in these places, it is
said that the law has been openly and
flagrantly violated in this city. Dist
riot Attorney Phelps announced this
morning that this must stop and that
hereafter the law would be enforced
to the letter. Any person found vio-
lating the law will be punished. The
violations will be examined by the
grand jury and it is also probable
that the guilty persons will be placed
under arrest before the grand jury
meets.
Section one of this law provides:
That If any person, being the owner.

HOW MANY PENNIES
FILL A BUSHEL?

Washington-A Pittsburg man has
put new one up to the treasury
department The answer may not
add materially to the total of useful
knowledge, but it will be sure, as in
the case of other fool things, to ex-
cite the usual human curiosity until
IL is forthcoming Here's the question.
How many cents are there in a
bushel?"
The mint bureau has many queer
questions asked It. This bureau works
month in and month out on arithmet-
ical problems dealing with the gold
and silver supply of the world. and
hard problems in figures are not rare
by any means. But never before was
the bureau called upon to tell how
many cents there are in a bushel.
The Pittsburg man who wants an
answer to this question will be told
that the government and its mint bu-
reaus, although handling large sums
of money, have never gotten into the
habit of measuring coins by the BUSH
ell, half bushel quart or peck. Until
it does so it will be unable to answer
questions of this kind.
Mint bureau officials will not un-
dertake to guess concerning the num-
Der of cents in a bushel. Roughly
guessing, however, one of the clerks
said the total number of coins would
probably be something like $4,000 or
1920 worth.

OCTOBER SCHOOL
FUNDS APPORT|ONED
APPROXIMATELY $4,000
is BEING DIVIDED
This Is the First Apportionment to
BE Made Since Passage of New
Law-Greater Amounts for Smaller
Districts This Year.
3 *++ = + + + + - *+* :

approximately $4,000 is being ap-
portioned by County School Superin-
tendent Welles among the school dis
tricts Of the county. OF this amount
$4,000 is from the county fund.
while the balance is from the state
fund.
This is the regular October appor-
tionment and is the first to be made
since the passage of the law which
gives 500 to each school district in
stead of $50 before the per capita ap-
portionment OF the county fund since
when the 500 for each district and
the IS for each teacher who attend
ed institute was taken out, there was
nothing left to apportion.
Because Of this law the apportion-
ment for each of the smaller districts
will be greater than last October.
while for all the larger districts It
will be smaller This difference will
be more than made up by the per
capita apportionment in the spring.
however, especially since the per cap
ita apportonment will probably be
S11 instead of 81 as formerly
Because the state fund is larger
than lfst October. the apportion-
ment of this fund to each district is
universally larger. The per capita
apportIonment is $3.50.
The apportionment Of county funds
to the Pendleton district last year
was S1055.5O. This year it is but
S205. The apportionment of state
money to this district last year was
s27SS.SO, while this year it is 49,

THANKS JACKSON


The following letter Of thanks va
addressed by Gen. Keeslor to Mayo
Crowder and the CITY council:
The Honorable Mayor and City Coun
Gil, Jackson, Mississippi:
GentlemeR: Ia closing Camp San
Sample permit me- 70 thank yon in th,
name of the Mississippi National Guar,
for the many courtesies shown Ms b,
you and the excellent people Of you
great city. The National Guard is in
tended, under the operation Of the Dicl
bill, to become an Important part Of oul
country's defense, and will take ita
place in the front line with the small
army of regulars now maintained should
hostilities with . foreign foe occur
Modern inventions have made war *
destructive that special training o.
men is essential to the conduct Of thil
defense, to save the useless slaughter
of brave but ignorant troops. This
knowledge can only be impaired In the
field for this reason, IL we care aught
for our flag, our country or our young
manhood, should all unite in encourag-
ing officers and men in doing their
whole duty in this honorable service.
Our state guard is greatly embar-
rassed by lack of funds, but in spite Of
this the martial spirit ef our young cit
izens compels them to recognize this
duty. and in obedience to the call of
their fathers blood, cheerfully accept
the fortunes Of soldiers life and seek
to prepare themselves for any even-
tuality.
No more important part Of service ex-
lists than the prevention Of disease, and
this important education can only be
acquired in camps Of instruction. II
you do not wish the strength and chiv-
airy of our country TO be rushed igno-
rantly to the shamhIes Of death and be
butchered as dumb cattle, or be swept
away by the silent, but no less deadly,
preventable disease. then it rests on
you and all other csr ..Sa.ns OF our state
to urge that adequate means be- pro-
vided for continuance of this educa-
tion and training.
May the splendid hospitality of Jack
son bear, rich fruit in uplifting the per-
sonnel of our guard, and in impressing
all who have met us on tented field, or
beneath blazing chandelier, that these
young men are our couptry's defenders,
and as such are worthy Of the love, re-
spect and support of our commonwealth.
Respectfully,

CITY OF ITTA BfNA
ENJOYING PROSPERITY.
It's Hustljnk cltlzens Are Erecting
Many New Buildings.

1t is with great deal of pleasure
that we note the continued prosperity
of our neighboring little city, Itta
Bena. In close touch with us, she has
the proper spirit in the upbuilding OF
her city, and Dever does things by
halves. During the last three or four
years her growth has been marvellous
and the valuation of property in that
little city has almost doubled within
that time.
At present tho whole business Sec
tion is scene of Improvement. Mr..
T. B. Cockerell, one of it's most enter
prising merchants is making extensive
additions to his tore. He is erecting a
warehouse and will increase his bus
mess about thirty thousand dollars.
The Mahoney stores on the south side
of the railroad are nearing completion.
and will be occupied at an early date.
The remodeling Of the Bank of Itta
Bena has been completed, giving it a
very neat appearance.
The Itta Bena Compress will he
ready for business by the opening of
the cotton season, and a large lumber
concern with head Offices at Cincinnati,
will erect one of the largest mills in
this section of the delta. The Hill We
neer Company has installed door fac
tory in connection with their veneer
ing plant. Mrs. L. A. Mahoney has re-
moved the wooden structures from her
lot on Main street and will erect her a
handsome two-story residence on this
spot.
Itta Bena has about seventy-five brick
store houses, electric light and water
plant, lumber mills, oil mill. gins, two
banks, telephone exchange, post Office
and express company, handsome school
building, neat churches, and many
other advantages with growing pop
ulation of over a thousand. We wish
this little city continued prosperity.

city docket was that of City of Green

motions had been made for the exclus-

was in force three months before the
