T. \. ALLEN TAKES FLOUR MILL
His Partner W. d. Cocking to Look
 After Arizona Mines.

w. J Cooking, who came from
 Bisbee, Ariz,, over a year ago and in connection with T A. Allen built the Mena Flour Mill, and has oper- ated the same during the past year, has sold his interest to Mr. Allen, who will take charge of the business after the first of the year. Mir. .Cocking plans to return Go Arizona, where he has extensive mining in- terests which demand his attention in order that they may be fully de- veloped. He certainly did a good work for Mena and the country trib- utary in the part which he had in setting the flour mill built and placed in successful operation. He IS satisfied, too, with the patronage that has been given the institution, but feels that the larger interests will be more profitable to him. When Mr. Cooking leaves MT. Allen will give personal attention to the milling business, and to that end he will not operate the saw mill during the winter, and the ginning business is practically ended for this season.

Manchester Guardians View of Re
 ply to Wilson's Note.

 President Wilson by the issue of his note, has cleared his conscience, ? says the Guardian, and if Germany now resumes, or rather increases submarine frightfulness' so as to strain her relations with the United States, the president will at any rate stand before his people as one who did his utmost to avert catas- trophe by an effort to re-establish
