NEED MILITIA IN
 MUSKOCEE STRIKE
Five Street Railway Employees In iured by Sympathizers of Strikers and Mayor Wisner Calls for the
 State Troops to Help

Muskogee, Ok, June l0.-Street car service resumed here this morning af- ter eleven days of idleness was dis continued tonight in the fear that vi- olence which had marked the day would increase. Mayor John l.. Wis ner tonight telegraphed Lieutenant Governor Trappe requesting that the militia be called out If the request is granted an attempt to resume serv- ice will be made tomorrow.

 Service was discontinued late this evening when crowds of strikers and sympathizers swarmed around the cars in the downtown districts, threatening violence to the motormen and conductors
 Traction company officials declared that bullets had been fired thru the windows of two cars.

BIG DISAGREEMENT IN PEACE COUNCIL
Important Questions at Issue in Ger. man Treaty Still Unsolved and Sit uation Is Grave-Tiger Clemen-
 ceau Is Obdurate.

Paris. June 10--Again come re- ports from Paris that all is not going smoothly in the Council of Four as re- gards the settlement of points under argument concerning the German peace treaty.
 While it has been said that the final answer of the allied and associated powers to the counter proposals of the Germans probably will be ready for delivery to the Germans at Versailles not later than Friday of this week late dispatches declare that some of the larger questions at issue have not been solved and that considerable pessimism prevails as g result of this situation.
 Notable among the points upon which no agreement has been reached according to reports, is the Silesian question, and the matter of the Polish western frontier. Added to this is the implacable stand of the French pre- mier, M. Clemeneeau, against any notifications in the peace terms, con trary to the attitude of President Will son and Lloyd George, who are de- clared to have recognized the necessity for lessening somewhat the demands in certain clauses of the treaty, which would not fundamentally affect the severity of the document as whole.

80 p CT. DIVIDEND
 IN STRAWBERRIES
Reports From Arkansas Berry Sec tions Tell of Million Dollar Crops and Wonderful Earnings-0ver
 $12,000 From One Patch.

Talk about your high finance and fortunes in oil, but just listen to these strawberry stories:
 Here is one that has not been pub lished before: Two years ago a party of twenty-one progressive citizens of DeQueen, with a vision, organized a company to go into strawberry rais- ing new industry in Sevier county. They bought 160 acres of virgin land north of DeQueen, and cleared so acres, selling enough timber to pay for the work, with balance of $85 over. Last year they raised and mar keted their first crop for $9,000, repre- senting S6700 net, bought some Lib erty bonds, declared 20 per cent dividend, and saved enough to put in this years crop.
 This spring they took in % acres more, sold S12,380 worth of berries, made $8,000 net, declared an 80 per cent dividend, and leaving enough in the treasury for another years crop. Shares originally sold at $25, are now now selling as high as $40 share, and none for sale at that price. Oth- CTS are catching the fever, and now many others are planting strawber- ries.
 Horatio and Rogers represent the two extremes in the Western Arkan- sas strawberry belt, yet both localities report success.
 High prices for strawberries this season have caused many farmers near Rogers to increase their acreage. Gross returns of from 5000 to $1 ,000 an acre have been common.
 Fifty-three carloads of strawberries were shipped from Horatio this sea- son and local express shipments amounted to about three cars. Land around there is very much in demand.
 The strawberry crop in Northwest Arkansas this year will be worth ap- proximately s1,000,000. Four hundred and fifty-four cars have been shipped on the Frisco railway, between Van Buren and Purdy. The average price per car is $2,000.

PRIVATE CONTROL
 AGAIN FOR WIRES
Postmaster General Burleson Has Is. sued Order Returning Telephone and Telegraph Systems to Origi-
 nal Owners at Once.

Washington, June 5.-Postmaster General Burleson today issued an or der returning the telephone and tele- graph systems of the country to pri- vate ownership, effective immediately.
 In statement accompanying the formal order, the postmaster general declared that the existing rates would remain in effect and that orders for bidding discharge of employees because of union affiliations also would stand.
 "The president having recommend ed return of the wire systems and the control of the owning companies with certain legislation designed to stabil- ize their operation" MT. Burleson said, land the senate committee hav- ing taken action looking for their im- mediate return, and the house con- mittee in it's hearing on the proposed Legislation having indicated concur renee in the suggested immediate re- turn, with or without legislation so recommend, feel it my duty now to return the actual control of opera tions to the companies.
 Some days ago I directed the ne- cessary orders to be prepared to ac- complish this and have today issued same. These orders do not effect questions of rates and finance with which the congress may determine to deal. The rates now in force and the financial relations between the gov ernment and the companies, and the order of October 2, 1918, prohibiting discrimination because of union affili- ation, will continue unless the con- gress in it's wisdom may decide to change them, or the emergency is ter minated by the proclamation of peace.
 By the action now taken, however, the wire companies resume control of their respective properties and are free to formulate and put into effect their own policies, unrestricted by government control, which is to con- tinue in eany case but few weeks, and thus will be able to prepare them selves for a complete resumption of the management of their property. It will be necessary for each company to so keep it's accounts during the con- tinuance of government control, that it's books may be closed on the day government control ends in order that a full and accurate statement may be promptly made when it is called on for same"

SKIP A DIPPING
 TO HELP FARMERS
That No Time May Be Lost During Harvest, Arrangements Are Made to Reward Cattle Men-City
 Owners of Cows Benefit, Too.

In order to accommodate farmers and others that have cattle to dip, ar- engagements have been made under the direction of Inspector Grady Hand to skip dipping during harvest time, This will not only be a great help to the farmers during the present rush period, but will also serve as re- ward for their faithful observance of the tick eradication law in the past The dipping to be missed will be an nounced by the inspectors in charge of the vats.
 Inspector Hand is also making good his early promise to Mena COW owners by announcing that all those who dip clean at the Watkins, Haw- thorne and Strauss vats next time will be excused from dipping on the next date listed on the calendar.
 Work of swatting the ticks contin- ues to go ahead in Polk county ir good shape. Inspector Hand has hac particularly good reports from ths districts handled by Ton Embry ana Wilburn Philpot. In Embry's dis. trict are located four of the five vats damaged by dynamiters. All four of these destroyed vats have beer restored to use and in addition one new one has been installed at the B Hendricks place. Embry has twelve vats to look after and Philpot eleven and the work is progressing smoothly in both districts. Philpot's territory lies along the Montgomery county line from Big Fork to Scott county.

PREPARE TO PROBE
 EXPENSES OF WAR
Congressional Investigating Commit tee Is Increased by Addition of a Republican--Democrats Charge c.
 0. P. Is Seeking Political Capital.

Washington, June 5..-Unanimous approval was given by the House to a resolution increasing the War Expen- ditures Committee to 15 members so that five separate investigations of disposition of funds by the War De- partment may be made. The vote came after two hours debate and aft CT the Republicans had refused to permit the Democrats to offer an amendment to the resolution under which the committee membership would have been divided, nine Repub- iicans and six Democrats, instead of 10 Republicans and Democrats. The Republican leaders said that inquiries were planned into expenditures for aviation, ordnance, camps and canton ments, quartermaster supplies and in foreign countries. Each inquiry will be conducted by subcommittee com posed of two Republicans and one Democrat.
 The resolution came before the House today from the Rules Commit tee as special order of business. During the debate the Democrats charged that the investigations were to be made by the Republicans fin search of political capital for the 1920 campaign" and declared they were welcomed by the administration Re- publican spokesmen, however, said the investigations were to be "non-parti- san" and were designed solely to in- form the country what had become of the $16,000, 100000 appropriated for the War Department during the war.
 Democrats Protest.
 Representative Garrett, Democrat, of Tennessee, declared Investigating committees during Democratic ccn- troi of Congress were divided polite ally five to four, or four to three, and that the only time in congressional history that the majority had two to .one representation was in the Ballin- ger-Pinchot controversy, which, he said, "was pregnant with sad memo ries for the Republicans.
 Mir. Garrett referred to the make up of the committees in the steel, su- gar and money trust investigations, conducted during the Democratic ad- ministration. In reply, Representa- tive Campbell, Republican, of Kansas, who was in charge of the resolution, said:
 Each of these investigations was to inquire into the industry of the country rather than a political or gov ernment activity"
 "Ah," interjected Representative Dupree, Democrat, of Louisiana, amid laughter and jeers from the Demo- crats, ''the gentleman has let the cat out of the bag"
 Representative Longworth, Repub- lican, of Ohio, retorted that Mir. Campbell was perfectly right when he spoke of political or governmental activity, as they are synonymouSspn- der this administration"

MEX" REVOLUTION
 GETTING LIVELY
Refugees Flock to Fl Pas0 When City of Juarez Is eatened--Carranza General Takes Field in Sonora
 With Picked Troops.

El Paso, Tex, June 10.--The Mex ican revolution is getting more inter- esting.
 A courier racing into Juarez last night from Tierra Blanca. 15 miles south of Juarez, with the news that forces of General Felipe Angeles were concentrating around samalayuca, a small town 22 miles from Juarez, caused heavy exodus of Mexicans and other nationalities from Juarez into Fl Paso.
 For five hours every street car from the city opposite Fl Paso was filled to capacity with frightened refugees, carrying bundles, suit cases and other small packs. Several persons were detained by the American immigration authorities for investigation One street car alone brought 174 refugees over the international brige.
 At 10 o'clock this morning Juarez apparently was waiting for some thing" Well informed persons on the Mexican side said General An geles was not more than l5 miles from Juarez," altho Mexican officials denied this Guadalupe was occupied last night by forces of Villa and another force under the banner of General Angeles is said to be moving toward Juarez from the direction of Guada- lupe, where evidently the two forces have split

Minister Resigns Because He Can't
 Follow Christ and Succeed.
 Detroit, June s.-Can man be a successful minister of the gospel in these days and at the same time prac- tice and preach the principles of hu- man brotherhood as proclaimed by Jesus Christ in the Sermon on the Mount?
 The Rev. l. Paul Taylor, minister of the Highland Park Congressional Church, raises the question and am swers it in the negative in his letter of resignation and announcement of his intention to leave the ministry, which he has just presented to the officials and congregation of his church.
 For four years now 1 have tried to work out the principles of Chris tian brotherhood as the minister of this church" says the Reverend Mir. Taylor in his resignation. T have come to the conclusion, however, that my greater usefulness lies in another field than that of the church as it is organized for self-propagation today today. l simply wish to say at this time that desire to live Christian life, and that is impossible for me to do and at the same time be success full minister
 MT. Taylor is the only Detroit pas tor who openly opposed the bringing of Billy Sunday to Detroit.

 DIPPING HAS HELPED.
Eradication Work Does Kill Ticks and
 Boosts Cattle Values.

bOoSls 0attit FdlufS.
 Results attained in a recent ship ment of cattle by Roy R. St. John from the Ozark Ranch to the Okla homa City market are offered as proof tick eradication work has helped in more ways titan one. These cattle were classed as feeders, not being fat enough for the butcher, and hence had no local market. But because Polk county had advanced in her tick eradication work it was possible to secure official permission to ship these cattle into the free pens of stock yard, where there were buyers. With out the tick eradication work having been satisfactorily done it would have been impossible to ship the cattle at all. At the Oklahoma City market the cattle sold for 101s cents pound, an advance of at least three cents over the local prices for fat butcher stuff. Not only did the Ozark ranch get nice increase in the money value of the cattle but the shipment also demonstrated that dipping does kill the ticks, for most rigid inspection of the carlot failed to reveal single tick.

MORE GOOD ROADS
 WANTED IN POLK
Petitions Ask For Highway Extend ing East and West Thru County From Oklahoma Line to Mont
 gomery County, Both To Mena.

An east and west highway thru Polk county has been started. Two separate petitions will be used to cover the project, the first of which has already been sent to the state highway commission, and the second is in course of preparation. w., L. Sellers of Mountain Fork, came to Mena Friday morning with a petition which contained the names of 37 land owners living between Mena and the Oklahoma line, and which asked the state highway commission to begin the work of building much needed improvement.
 The distance between Mena and the state line is about six miles and the petitioners ask that the highway be built so as to best serve the country traversed. It is the plan of the pe- titioners to have the road follow the present road known as the Talihina road between Mena and Rocky, thence thru Mountain Fork and on to the line. This road will open up good farming country in Oklahoma and will prove of great trade advantage to Mena.
 Judge W. N. Martin has prepared a copy of a petition creating an inn provement district between Mena and Montgomery county, taking in Egger and Ink. The petition has been re- quested by Egger residents and will be circulated at once in the proposed district. When signed it will be for warded to the state highway depart ment with a request for earliest pos sible action.

With the mercury boiling up around the 100 de- gree mark, and hundreds of prostra- tions from heat being reported daily, it brought little relief to the millions in Pennsylvania, New York and Mary land, and the Atlantic Coast states to read that four inches of snow had fal- len in the Panhandle of Texas or that rain and hail were sweeping thru the Mississippi Valley.

London, June 9.--The Esthonian General Staff considers itself forced to start military operations against the Germans, says Helsingfors dis patch to the Mail. This action is in consequence of the action of Germans in the Riga district in advancing be- hind the Bolshevik lines for the pur- pose of occupying the eastern frontier of Livonia, which, with a treacherous attack upon the Esthonians by the Germany cavalry under orders from General von Der Goltz, commander of the German forces in the Baltic re- zion, 1t is said, "unmasked the Ger mans ss accomplices of the Bolshe- wiki"
