SUED BY MEXICAN
Kansas Man Is Made Defend
ant in Federal Court.
Plaintiff Claims $3,400 for a
Herd of Bulls.
JURISDICTION IS DENIED
Defendant Also Alleges Over
Valuation of the Cattle.
Many Other Cases Set for Trial
at Next Term.

Diplomatic relations between the
United states and Mexico are involved
ia a case in the federal court Whlcn
will come no for trial during the April
term. The case also Involves a kaIs'is
man, j. M.eRhodes of Frankfort, a
Mexican. Guadalupe Camou de Camou,
and a herd of siXty-eight bulls.
The Mexican brings the suit against
Rhodes in an effort to collecl TOTAL
Of $4,000 for the herd of bulls. The
Mexican states that the cattle were
stolen from the state of Sonora and
that they came into Rhodes posses
sion either at Naco. Arizona, FL Paso
or at Sullivan, Kansas. He does not
charge that Rhoces had anything TO
do with the theft but declares they
were stolen from him previous to
their purchase by Rhodes.
Rhodes questions the jurisdiction OF
the federal court in the case. APP
parently the cattle were confiscated
by the government following one OF
the numerous turns in Mexican al
fairs and Rhodes states that the state
of Sonora had civil and military
government, since recognized by the
United States as the de facto govern
ment. He states that any cattle he
may have were taken into possession
by that government ana sold for that
government long before he secured
possession Of them. He holds that
any action by the court would tend to
disturb relations with 1rlendly gov
eminent He holds that if the cattle
originally belonged to the plaintiff his
remedy is with the government of
Sonora. The question of Jurisdiction
has not been passed upon by Judge
John G. Pollock
The Defendants Answer.
In case the court assumes jurisdic-
ton Rhodes is prepared with an an
swer, already filed. He denies he has
any cattle belonging to the plaintiff
and that the cattle claimed by the
plaintiff are not worth to exceed $40
"A head. whereas the claim is for $50 d
head. He declares that the price is
fraudulently fixed to make the total
more than $4,000 in order to get the
case into a federal court.
The above is just one of the cases
to come up during the April term of
court Court will convene in Topeka
April TO-
Another case of interest that will be
tried is that of the government against
Charles 3. Oldfield in which Oldfield
a former railway postal clerk, is
charged with stealing $4,000 worth
Of currency. 1t is charged that Old
field took three packages of bills con-
signed to the First National bank of
Pasadena from the Chicago postoffice.

wireless stations along the border have
been picking up radio messages from
General Pershing's headquarters.
These activities are given as a possible
reason why the wireless outfit with
the expeditionary forces has been
working so badly.
No arrests have been made but sta
lions put up by several boys have been
dismantled. Whether any of the army
messages have been caught and inter-
preted by Mexican operators is not
known.
Rumors circulating in the town that
General Gales has been recruiting a
large force at Cabullona, s miles
south of here, and at other points in
northeastern Sonora, were declared
false by the American and Mexican
authorities. Trooper Robert Kettle of
st. Louis, who attempted suicide two
days ago, is improving slightly with a

E-Z Tooth Filler acts like magic.
Can't fail, because it removes the
cause. Kills the germ, seals the cav
ity and excludes the air, food and
mouth acids, which irritate that fren-
zied nerve. Just a little in the cav
ity and all pain disappears in a jiffy.
E-Z Tooth Filler must not be con-
fused with toothache drops, gum or
wax, which bring only temporary re-
lief. The most remarkable feature
about E-Z is that it forms a perma-
nent filling. lasting often for years.
Saves pain, time and dentists bills.
E-Z Tooth Filler is for sale at your
druggists at 25c a bottle, or sent di-
rect upon receipt of price by the
Chas. A. Bertram Drug Co, 3471 Els
ton Ave, Chicago.
For sale and recommended in To-

AMENDMENT NO. ID.

Never before have the people OF
Arkansas had placed within their
grasp such a desirable piece of legis'
lation as is Amendment No. IA. This
amendment, if adopted, will revolu'
tionize the road building of Arkansas,
if the people of the various counties
desire good roads.
This amendment provides practi'
cal plan for road construction. 1t pro-
vides a method by which the money
paid into the county treasury under
The three mill road tax, may be con-
verted into permanent highways, and
maintain them. This tax is now be-
ing collected and few counties can
boast of any permanent highways
which have been constructed under it.
And the great beauty about it is that
it will give the counties roads right
now, instead of waiting for twenty
years to get them.

GOOD AND BAD INVESTMENTS

Thousands of Arkansas farmers VIII
he out of debt this fall with money
ahead for the first time in their lives.
Then what? Unfortunately many fam
lilies will be in such need OF better
housing and better clothes that much
NJ the surplus cotton money will have
TO go for these purposes. 1t is hoped
that every cotton farmer has already
opened a bank account with the pro-
ceeds of his first sale, paid debts by
checks and that he will keep his sur
plus in the bank. But then what with
the surplus? What are good invest
ments? The good investments may
include pure bred sows, better COWS,
calves when there is enough feed, one
.lr more mares, If needed next spring,
better tools and farm machinery, rye
for winter pasture, and last but not
least, land for the renter and more
land for the small farmer.
There are thousands OF farmers on
forty acres who have ability to handle
one hundred and sixty acres. Land is
cheap in Arkansas and the men who
have no land and the men who have
small farms should consider this mat
ter of larger farms. Arkansas has too
many small farms and too many large
plantations. Thoughtful bankers and
other business men can well afford to
look about and help many progressive
farmers into larger land ownership.

How interesting it must have been
in North Carolina when for the term
of one day, Miss May F. Jones was
acting governor. The duly-elected
Governor Craig was detained by the
floods, and so his secretary, Miss
Jones, administered the affairs of the
state. She was busy, too. She Off
cially announced the appointment of
one hundred delegates to represent
North Carolina at various confer
ences; issued extradition papers for
an alleged bigamist and performed the
usual duties of the day.
