Mrs. fVanderbeck plays the shot

The position of the body was prac-

PEELED to suspend operations Septem-
ber | unless granted relief by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
was announced here today by W. T.
Kemper of Kansas City, receiver for
the line.
The roads request for govern
ment loan recently was refused by
the commission.
There is possibility that the line
may be carried over its financial diff
ficulties through British money, but
that is rather remote, Mr.. Kemper
said. He announced he had taken the
matter up with British financiers by
cable and that he now is awaiting
their reply to his proposal. British
capitalists have about $12,000,000 in
vested in the enterprise, according to
Mr.. Kemper, who believes the British
group may be willing to invest more
IN order to complete the project and
put it on paying basis.
He estimated that $7,000,000 ad-
ditional would take UP the receiver
ship gold notes and that about $780,
100000 would be required to finance
the project to completion.

Guaiardo, Who Aided Gonzalez in Re

City of Mexico. July 1s.-Gen.
Jesus NJ. Guajardo, an insurgent, who
was sentenced to death by summary
courtmartial at Monterey last night,
charged with rebellion, was put to
death this morning by firing squad.
Guajardo, who was reported to
have killed Gen Emiliano Zapata,
bandit chief in the state of Moreios,

Gently. He was pursued closely by de
facto government forces and captured
Saturday near Monterey shortly after
the arrest of Gen. Pablo Gonzalez,
who conducted the attack on Monte
rey.
According to General P. Elias Cal
les, minister of war, the execution Of
Guajardo and the arrest of Gonzalez
defeated an attempt to organize a
revolutionary movement in Nuevo
Leon. 1t is believed that other mall
contents involved have been interned
or are fleeing toward the United
States.
AS far as known here the Monterey
civil court has not acted upon the plea
of Gonzalez for habeas corpus pro-

ENCOURAGE COAT
RAISING IN POLK
Newly Created Organization Has
Started Campaign to Increase
Herds and Add to Wealth
of Country.

Members of the newly organized
Angora and Milk Goat Association
have started campaign to increase
its membership and enlarge the herds
that have been started in Polk coun-
ty. The members, who have had ex-
perience with goats are enthusiastic
in their declarations that the Ango-
ras or Milk goats will add much to
the wealth of Polk county and hope
to see the hill lands about Mena COW
cred with their favorite live stock.
A meeting of the association was
held last Thursday afternoon at the
office of the Commercial club at
which a number of new members
were taken in and discussion of goat
raising made feature of the gather
ing.
1t is the opinion of members of the
association Polk county offers supe.
rior advantages for goat raising In
its climate and land, making II the
ideal location for the industry, and
giving promise of developing into one
of the greatest goat sections OF the
nation.
Local men who have kept goats are
confident goats will produce more
money quickly and on less feed than
any other form of live stock In the
county. AS proof of their assertion
the statement below is offered. Two
goats, one Angora and one mixer, II
given 80 cents worth of feed each and
allowed to range one acre of Polk
county hill land, in addition to large
goods box for shelter in cold weather,
will produce in twelve months to 20
pounds of mohair; 70 to lbs gallons
of milk and so to 100 pounds of NUT
ton.
These facts have been actually
proven by local experiences and by
government tests. The association
asks all who can to join with them
and help realize the four Ms Of goat
raising; mohair, milk, mutton and
money The next meeting will be the
second Thursday of August at the
Commercial club office.
