Al ANY HOUR
BaGcl.yp', Court Held Night SeS- sioHS Co Deal With Careless
 Conduct in Two Cases.

Tuesday night was busy one for Justice of the Peace II. J. Rad rlif'e-.wo coming before him for trial between o'clock and mid night.
 The first case was one in which Tom Beauchamp was arrested by Policeman Johnson upon informa- ton from Scott county. Beauchamp was accused of running away from that county with mortgaged prop erly in his possession. He was found at a local wagon yard and turned over to a constable from Scott county.
 The second case coming before the Justice was that of Wm. Os- borne. Kelly Osborne and Earl Franklin. who were arrested by the sherifT's department upon complaint of Squire Glover of Potter. They were charged with disturbing the peace and resisting an officer. The boys had come from Black Fork and were going to Potter to bring Dr. Schafer to the Black Fork neighborhood for a professional visit. They were instructed to pur- chase some alcohol as they passed through Mena, and the trouble is said to have resulted from the trio not keeping the liquor in the jug. They were given the usual fine plus the costs.

NOTICE TO HEALTH OFFICERS

In view of the short time in which the public has had to com ply with Regulation No. l25, per taining specifically to vaccination, it is hereby advised that no efforts only in an educational way, be
 made to enforce an observance of said regulation with regards to schools which open in September and October. This order does not apply to those of our schools which have been and are now requiring vaccination for admission. l trust you will lay before the people the great value of vaccination as a pre- ventive against smallpox and that you will be able to stamp out the disease. Vaccination is the only remedy known to medical science that will prevent the loathsome dis ease. G. P. Dunman, NJ. D.,

OUR TAX SYSTEM E
 TRAYESTY OF JUSTICE
So Declares County Judge \. r. smith of Scott C0unty-Arji-
 trary Fixing of Values by
 GueSswork Is DespOtic.

Little Rock, Sept. I3.-That the Arkansas Tax Commission is not without it's severe critics appears from a statement that has just been issued by County Judge A. F. Smith of Scott county, in which he says:
 That the State Tax Commission and the equalization board is tra- VeSty on the democratic form of government seems to be the conclu- sion of most men who have careful ly investigated the law, and I must say that fully concur in that opinion. Any law that permits a man, or set of men, to arbitrarily fix values on the peoples property and set aside the oaths of the citi- zens of a county or state is in line with the autocratic or despotic form of government, and not a de- mocracy."

MENA ON HIGHWAY
Proposed Road From Canada to the Gulf Will Pass Through
 Mena

X national highway from Canada through Mena to the Gulf of Mexi- co is the object of the recently or ganized Canada, Kansas City and Gulf Road Association.
 At a meeting at Fort Scott, Kas.. recently, the association was formed and the route has been se- lected, but as yet has not been adopted officially. This will come up for discussion at a meeting of the executive committee, to be held soon.
 The highway will begin at Du- luth, Minn, and end at Galveston, Tex. From Kansas City the high way will pass through Joplin, Ft. smith, Mena, TeXarkana, Shreve- port, Marshal, and to Galveston, with a branch to Port Arthur.
 The construction of the road is being taken up by the National Highways Association, and it will be made a part of the scheme for national highways.
 The officers of the organization are: F. O. Peiker, Paloa, Kas., president; Oscar Rise, Fort Scott, Kas., secretary and Frank A. Da- wis, Kansas City, assistant secre- tary. Headquarters have been established at 222 Midland build ing, Kansas City.
 With the road completed it will promptly put Mena in the Auto mobile Blue Book. To illustrate what il means for towns to be in this book, the example of Carroll ton. Mo-, will suffice to make an enthusiast of every citizen along the proposed route. The Missouri city was put in the Blue Book be- cause of it's good roads. Since that time the town has enjoyed a tour- ist patronage which, among other enterprises. maintains four garages and repair shops for tourists. With a copy of this book in his lap and a light on his distance register, the auto driver can travel in an absO- lutely unknown route on the dark est night. Say for instance, he wishes to go from st. Charles, Mo-, to st. Louis. The book tells him what road to start out on. When his meter shows two-tenths miles he is warned to go slow and turn to the right; continue across bridge straight ahead. At one mile dan ger. short turn down hill, under foot bridge Every turn and the number of miles are given; every danger point noted, so that he may know when his meter reaches the distance given in the book and the character of every portion or the road. Every town is described, with the name of hotels, garages and supply places.
 To put Mena into the routing of that book means to advertise to the world that for the first time the West Arkansas Ozarks are open to the world between Canada and the Gulf.

What It Means to the Public.

Before Jenner's discovery small pox killed one-eight of all the peo- pie on the globe, and dishgured nearly twice as many. Since then it has existed only because of pre- iudice against vaccination. In Prussia. where vaccination is com pulsory, the mortality has been re- duced to one in 300,000. In Paris, on the other hand, where vaccina- tion is not compulsory, between 1870 and 1895 there were over 20,- GOO deaths. This is a pointer to the public; have all your children vac cinated and secure as many vac cinations as possible.-From Dr. Morgan Smith, State Health Officer.

OFFICER CAPTURES DEER.
Mena Policeman Had Lively Tussle
 With Fleet-Footed Animal.

Several years ago a Kansas po- Ilceman made a bid for fame as foot racer when he asserted that he had run down and captured a jack rabbit. His claim fell flat because he could not prove it.
 A Mena policeman has the dis tmction of running down and cap turing a deer-and has the goods to prove it.
 While on duty late Thursday night Policeman Charles Kirkland saw something approaching him that he first thought was a grey hound A closer view proved the oDJect to be deer belonging to Ben Strauss. Here Officer Kirkland got busy When he finally got a Slrangle-hold on the animal, he. with assistance, put the stray deer Tn the lot in the rear of Mir. Strauss saloon. The deer apparently did not like his quarters, for he Jumped through the glass door at the rear of the Phoenix pool hall and explored the building. Not indlng anything that suited its fancy, the animal attempted to come out through the glass doors at the front of the building, but Mir. Kirkland was standing in front of Ine Phoenix and succeeded in
 snooing' the deer back until man entered and captured it.
 The animal was then confined III closer quarters until it was called for by the owner.

MEMORIAL SHAFT
 TO NAVAL HERO
ro.mer President Taft Delivered Address at Dedication of Monu- ment to Commodore Oliver
 Hazard Perry.

pni-In-Bay, Ohio, Sept. 10.-A ,ororinc shaft of white marble, onocted in commemoration of Com n,odore Oliver Hazard Perry's vic ,orv in the battle of Lake Erie and tbe century of peace between the 1-nited States and Great Britain, formally was dedicated today by former President Taft. Inaugural ina inc dedication ceremonies can non boomed at the hour of firing nf fine first gun in the battle fought Ioo wears ago today within view Of the put-In-Bay shores.
 "A century ago today this bay was made famous by a battle" said Mr. Taff and today we meet to dedl- raic a monument to those who took part. ,oo ve can weigh its significance. Nothing has developed in these wears to diminish the courage, pa iriofism and skill of the command CT and his men as they appeared to their contemporaries.
 But the consequences of the bat file and the war of which it was one of the few bright spots in a field of gloom were strikingly bene- dcient and promise to grow even more so in the second century up on which we are now entering
 Nr. Taft then sketched the biog- raphv of Commodore Perry from his birth in Rhode Island on Au- gust g, i7S5, to the supreme mo- menf of his career-the naval en- saacment off West Sister Island loo years ago-and to his sudden death in Venezuela on his thirty fourth birthday. His youth, the difficulties encountered in building and manning his fleet and his cour- age in the crisis which turned the tide of victory were made the sub feet, of Mr. Tafts eulogy.

POSSESSES N OLD COIN.
Dollar Bearing Date of lS0i Owned
 by k. C. $. Train Auditor.

E, Bauman, a Kansas City South ern train auditor. is the owner of one of fine four Kings of American dol'ars,' which bears the date of iSoi.
 It is valued at Sl,S00, according to Mr. Bauman. He purchased the coin seven months ago from Chi cago party, paying Si00 for it. Mr. Bauman is a collector of rare coins, and in the purchase of this partic- ular coin he was taking no chances, as he had a standing offer of S550 for one of them. He refused the offer, and says that he would not take double that amount.
 Mr. Bauman says that one of the other three dollars is owned by C. C. Jamison, a Chicago banker, who paid a coin collector Si 800 for the dollar three years ago. The other two are owned by Philadelphia and Boston men.
 The value of the coin does not appear on either side, but is writ ten on the edge of the milling. and is the only one of its kind ever is- sued by the government.
 The issue of iS0i dollars was made for the payment of the crew of Admiral Perry. The ship used for transporting the coins to the Perry fleet sank during a storm and was never located.

Land that will raise the finest kind of strawberries will not prohtably grow, say, for instance, potatoes. and potato land will not grow strawberries. People are now beginning to learn That soil will not grow everything, and are either factoring their land to fit the crop to be planted, or are planting in harmony with the soil.
 There is a market for everything in the garden truck line that could he raised in Polk county. I predict that the time will come when there will be a truck growers association in Mena that will clear the pro- duets raised on the same plan as the California associations. There the grower delivers his product to the association and is not bothered with looking for a market. The as- sociation has sold the fruit before lt has been delivered"

The taxes derived from the as sessment being made now, for use in 1914, will be larger, due to the increased assessments and the fact that the general tax rate was in- creased by the last legislature from t9 to 2la mills, in a readjustment of the rates. Neither State Audi tor Coffman nor Tax Commissioner Gates, however, are able to make an estimate of the amount of the increase.

higher and advanced to 1926 for De-
cember
There is no opposition to the advance
Bullish feeling predominates and con-
trolls the market All interests are in
favor of an advance. Speculation is
long; spot buyers want It. because it
cheapens the basis and facilitates buy
ing, and the country wants to sell the
crop at as high a price as possible
Another low or bullsh Government

The daily New York wires are bullish

The present rainy spell. while lower
