Look Out for Cheek SwindIe.

Those persons who are fre- qucutly asked to cash checks can be on iheif lookout against a swiudle which is belng success fully worked elsewhere and which may crop out in De Queen. The alleged swindlers operate as con- struction company and are sup. posed to be old we'll drilling con- tractors. They have printed regular contractors checks, on banks on which they pretend to draw. There are thousands of such checks in circulation. They are signed by foreman and by the treasurer of the company. The checks are usually cashed by merchants on Saturday nights and in towns in which the bank on which they are drawn IS not located. This gives the operator four or five days to get away with the money before a merchant knows he has been swiudled. All of the checks are drawn for less than $20. De Queen Bee.

BROOM CORN BOOM
Farmers Near Cove Planning to Plant Several Hundred Acres of
 the Product.
Cove, Ark, April 5, 1910.

Cove, Ark, April 5, 1910.
 Several progressive farmers from Kansas, Oklahoma and Tex as, who have recently purchased homes near here are deeply inter ested in the broom corn proposi- ton and feel con ident that the soil and climate conditions of the country are favorable for the pro- duction of this commodity. One enthusiast from Oklahoma, who has had considerable experience in growing, threshiug, baling and marketing, has secured agree ments from his neighbors to plant over 140 acres in broom corn. He has ordered 200 pounds of seed. and is still pushing the broom corn proposition. The name of this man is T. M. Car gill, and he owns l60-acre farm five miles east of Cove. He in- forms your correspondent that he was not aware that other parties in the country had been working along the same lines, and was agreeably surprised when he learned that meeting had been called for this place on Saturday afternoon, April 9,by J. L. Gates, representing the Mena Canning Factory Company.
 Broom corn is now quoted at SOS per ton in Kansas City, and the most conservative promoters in the new industry in this com munity claim that four acres oi average ground will produce a ton. Others claim that three acres will produce ton, and all agree that broom corn will beat cotton as farm product.

TAFT ID UNION MEN
PRESIDENT ADDRESSES THE BIO RAILROAD WORKERS coNvEN-
 TON AT WORCESTER, MASS.
FAV0RS LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
But Believes Every Man Should Have the Right to Use His Own Juda. ment About Joining the unIon-- Other Addresses.

Worcester. Mass, April 5.-President Taft has been and gone and has left the best kind of an Impression on the minds of the thousands of delegates to the great railroad workers conyen- tion, whom he addressed for about 40 minutes.
 In his address the president said in part:
 The Presidents Address.
 q am mighty glad to be here. There was a time while ago when thought a good deal about the train organiza- tlons of the United States and wonder. ed good deal what their members were going to do. 1 found In dealing with them that the best course is to talk right out and if they do not agree with you they will at least, if you talk right out and tel them what you be- lieve to be the truth. accord you the compliment of sincerity and desire to reach the truth.
 T believe in labor organization and If 1 were skilled enough to become a member. I should apply for member ohAP- nv latt ios DtAitNt, hlii HI honorary member of the Steam Shovel CTS union. But in spite of that and in spite of my sympatny with organized labor, 1 put above them, above every thing the right of every man to labor as he will to earn the wages that he will and if he chooses, to stay out of labor organizations. That is the stand points that the president of the United States must occupy in doing equality to every citizen of the United States.
 Now, the reason why I am in favor of organized labor is that labor must organize to be on an equality with It's employers and the capital that it's em- ployers have. It has shown in the past that by such organization and by prop CT methods it can secure the wages to which 1t is entitled. It can secure an increase when the market is going up and earnings are increasing and it can prevent tine too nasty reduction when earnings are falling nif and hnsines: Is 1t standstll."
 The Other Speakers.
 Then Rev. Dr. John Mccoy spoke on "The Ck<tsch and Labor. and talks were made by Presidents Brown of the New York Central, Mellen of the New York, New Hoven & Hartford. and Futile of the Boston & Maine. President Taft left at eight o'clock. At the evening session of the convention the speakers were W. g. Stone of Cleveland. Grand chief en- gineer of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers; A. B.
