According to advises from the wind

And both Hogg and Knisely were
members of the Chicago National
League club, member of OBJ, when
they were fguratively shipped South.
According to these rules and regula-
tons, each club in the National and
American Leagues has to waive before
the player can be properly turned over

that several of the major league outgts

GOVERNMENT OWN
 ERSH|P IS REMEDY
Threatened Strike of Railroad Em- ployees and Paralysis of Traffic May Lead to Quick Action
 Bill Is Ready.

Washington, Aug. 6.-"The strong est argument ever presented for government ownership of railroads is the threatened paralysis of traffic due to the employers-employes con- troversy.' Senator Norris of Ne- braska. declared yesterday.
 Should the impending disaster fall, he announced, he will seize the opportunity to advance the doctrine that private ownership of a public utility is opposed to the public in terest.
 Norris will introduce bill calling for the construction or purchase of a nationwide system of railroad lines from the Atlantic to the Pa ciilc. and from the great lakes to the gulf, this property to operated as modern utility. both as the treatment of the public in rates, and to the employees in pay.
 'Watered stock is the great evil of railroads said Norris. Many of them must earn interest and divi- dends on from two to five times their actual value.
 Government ownership would be successful because there would be no water. 1 admit that operation might not be so economical. but, without watered stock, operation would pay. and all rates would be uniform, without rebates or favor of any kind
 What l fear in government own ership is politics. To remedy that would make it a jail offense for any congressman or senator to ask for promotion of any employee. once the government line was estab- lished.
 T would finance the line with a government issue of bonds and the stock to be sold tO all the people. If the line could not be purchased outright at a fair price, would build another. One class of stock would be reserved for employees ex- clusiyely. for them to invest in when they chose.
 T believe these two limestone east and west and the other north and south, from the great lakes to the gulf. and from the Atlantic t0 the Pacific-would have so tremen- dsuus effect in moulding rates and treatment of public and employees that further extension of govern ment ownership might not be nec- essary. or if it were, it's advantages would be so apparent as to rout op- nosition

94 PER CENT ARE
 READY FOR STRIKE
100000 Railroad Men Vote Almost Unanimously to Do So to En- force Demands for S-Hour
 Day--COnference On.

New York, Aug. 8.-A committee representing 235 railroad systems and the heads of the Big Four" railroad brotherhoods resumed their conferences here today to consider the demands made for an eight hour day and time and half for overtime.
 Representative of the men re- ported to the conference that the strike vote of the four hundred thousand members of the brother hoods showed that the men are overwhelmingly in favor of a strike if their demands are refused, 94 per cent voting in favor of that course.
 The count represents the deci- sion of about 100000 railroad em- ployes of 235 railroads, with mile age of about 250,000, or practically every line in the United States.
 The result of the vote was an nounced today when the heads of the four brotherhoods met with representative of the railroads in the rooms of the Engineering so- ciety The confereers representing the two sides then went into a lengthy diesussiOn of the attitude taken by the men

Will Allow Nighb0rs to Dip Cattle
 Free of Charge.

G. w. Petty on Monday completed the construction of concrete dip- ping vat on his 0uaehita valley farm east of Mena. the work hav- ing been done under the direct su- pervision of Mir. Petty. and accord ing to the plans and specifications furnished by the government The vat is built strictly along the lines indicated in the government plans, except that Mir. Petty has decided to lengthen the chute thru which the cattle are driven into the vat from 20 to 80 feet, his theory be- ing that long chute, full of cat tie will make it easier to force the lead ones into the vat.
 Men are now at work building the lot and fences about the vat which, when completed, will cover az area of about two acres.
 The veterinarian in charge of cat tie dipping in this territory has been notified of the completion of the vat, and as soon as he arrives to charge of it MT. Petty will make the first dipping of his stock. In order to make the vat as useful as pos sible for the community, Mir. Petty proposes to allow his neighbors to bring their cattle and dip them free Of charge.

P. ". Parrott, Here From Kansas,
 Talks of Resort Possibilities.

MT. and Mrs. P. w. Parrott of Wellington, Kas.. are here for a vacation of a week or longer They had just given up a hotel business in Wellington, and selected Mena as a good place for rest and re- creation being so well pleased with the selection that Mir ParrOtt Tues day closed deal thru the Ozark Land and Investment Co for the purchase of the residence at the corner of Tenth street and Church avenue, tho they have not yet shaped up their affairs so that they can become residents of this city.
 Mr. parrott. like many other vis- itors who come to Mena, is astound- ed that the marvellous natural Op- portunities to make this an ideal alI-year-round resort are allowed to go undeveloped and un-advertIsed. He had vision of two and three room cottages d0tting the hills about Mena and interesting and scenic mountain paths and trails cut out, with shelter houses and resting places along the way Then he saw mountain springs developed near these trails and here and there swimming pool, and with that flower gardens and parks on the hill sides.

SPIES ARE ACTIVE
 AT PANAMA CANAL
Japanese Who Had Boat in Waters Especially Suspected = Drastic Action to Re Asked From
 Congress.

Washington, Aug 6.-Activities of persons suspected Of being spies employed by foreign governments to acquire information regarding the defenses of the Panama canal have made the administration de- eide to request Congress to supple ment the laws against the improper acquisition. of Knowledge of mili- tary and naval plans and fortitlea- tions.
 Several of the military powers of the world are believed to have uTl- deftdken to obtain information as to the canal deienses. The latest incident to excite suspicion is the operation of little Japanese power vessel, Ostensibly a fishing launch, which sought a permit for pearl fishing in the waters of Panama bay and vicinity. The canal au- thorities have been warned that this craft appeared to have been surveys.
 Representative of the Depart ment of Justice and the War and Navy Department have been i'll con- ference and it is expected that they will agree upon drastic legislation to be submitted to Congress. It is possible that the scope of the con- ference may extend beyond the or iginal ideas of mere protection of the secrets of American coast de- lenses, to cover generally such at tempts as have been common since the beginning of the present war to destroy powder and ammunition plants upon which the United States government must rely in time of trouble.

SURVEY IS
 PROMISED POLK COUNTY.
Ningo Has Assurances From Department That Includes
 Five Counties.

Congressman Otis T Wingo has wired Ray Gill. secretary of the Fort Smith Business Mems Club. that the director of the Geological Survey had promised him that he would send geologist soon to make a survey that will include Sebastian. Crawford Scott, Franklin, Johnson and Polk counties.
 There are few things that the government could do for Polk county that would be more pleasing than to have such a survey made.
 There are scores and hundreds of people in Polk county who believe there is a good chance to get wealth from underneath Polk eounty's mountains and valleys. A geological survey probably will confirm the belief. Anyhow, we want to know.
