"ting higher each day, can you af- "ford to raise only cotton?"
 This is an advertisement that should hit the farmer right between the eyes. Whether h has sufficient seed on hand or whether he is in the unfortunate position of so many Ark ansas farmers, with reference to seed, these questions should cause him to think. No farmer will pros- per raising cotton when he is forced to spend the profits from cotton in buying feedstuffs necessary for his farm.
 This is time in Arkansas when merchants, bankers and farmers should cooperate more closely than ever before. Every Arkansas farm- CT should plant sufficient food and feed stuff for his needs and above all things he should plant only test ed seed.

SEEK SECOND TRUNK
IN MURDER MYSTERY
Police Search Express Offices Of
Country For Vital Organs Of Wo-
man Killed in Detroit-New Theory
injected Into Case-Mrs. Leroy Had
Threatened to Kill Herself.


BY Associated Press.
Detroit, Mich. July GA state
ment to the police by Mrs. Leo Trum-
BULL wife Of the patrolman, tnar MIA.
Eugene Ler,ya victim OF DetroH's
trunk murder mystery, had confided
In her that she was about to become
a mother. Injected a new theory in
to the case today.
Police today divided their attention
between hunt for Leroy, husband of
the slain woman. and second trunk
believed to- contain the vital organs
OF the body and which is known to
have been sent from the Harper ave-
nue. apartment house where the Ie-
roys lived.
1t was Patrolman and Mrs. Trum-
bull who identified the victim thru
clothing found in the trunk. The DO
lice declared today they had estab-
lished that ldrs. Leroy planned an at
tempt at suicide before her death.
That Mrs, Leroy was slain in the
Harper avenue apartment house here
was conclusively proven today, ac-
cording to The police, by the finding
there Of blankets identical with those
In which the body was wrapped be-
fore 1t was placed in the trunk. An
other blanket has not been accounted
for and police believe the vital or
gans of the body were placed in II
and put In the second trunk. A call
has been sent to every express office
In the country to check over uncalled
for baggage in an effort to locate the
second trunk.

RAILROADS coNFlscATE coal
No Deliveries to Dealers Until Iii

Waterloo, July 27-Not pound OF
coal is to be delivered to dealehi
along the Illinois Central railway
until miners in northern and south
ern Illinois fields return to work.
Orders to this effect were sent
out by the railroad company Satur-
day. Other roads have given SINH
lar orders. All coal in transit, billed
to dealers. will be held on sidings un-
til the strike Is called off and coal is
again being mined, 1t was necessary
for the life Of the railroads to issue
orders Of this kind, they claim, for
without fuel they can not pull a
pound Of freight.
The contiscatory order seriously
affects all dealers in this part of
the country, which is remote from
mines-at. least, from the mines
whose product the people feel like us
ing for domestic purposes. There is
an abundance of Iowa coal, but it is

COAL OPERATORS CRY FOR HE'LL
Appeal TO Washington For Relief
From Labor Troubles.

Chicago. July 27.-With coal pro-
duction at a standstill In Illinois and
with the unauthorized strike spread
ing thru the mines OF Indiana. coal
operators IN the middle west are
turning their eyes toward Washing
ton for relief.
Immediate action toward revivlig
tho bituminous coal commission
whose settlement" Of last winters
coal crisis is said to be responsible
for the present tieup is one of the
three bocns asked by the operators of
the president.
Another is the establishment Of an
embargo, not necessarily permanent,
on all coal exports from eastern tide
water.
The third IS the re- establishment Of
tho federal fuel administration under
a competent dictator with sufficient
authority to bring order out OF the
present chaos.
All three Of these propositions are
being argued today in meeting of
operators and government represen-
tatiyes In Washington.
The first would entail a reconsi-
Iteration OF the wage scales agreed
upon by the commission last winter
toward more equitable distribution
Of pay between the coal diggers and
shift men. At the present time, it is
claimed, the diggers, working on a
tonnage basis. are able to earn much
higher wages than the shift men,
working on a daily basis.
The second. the operators claim,
would have the effect of releasing
thousands of tons of Pocahontas and
other Goals now being held for export
and would in addition result In a
much lower price at the mines. One
Of the operators claims is that pri-
ces have been showed up thru great
competitive bidding for smokeless
and other popular Goals.
The third would have the effect of
placing the whole situation again in
the hands Of central bureau and
would, the operators say result in a
more equitable distribution of fuel
duringfthe remainder Of the season

do all in his power to bring about
the election Of Senator Harding. his
successful rival, and as matter Of
fact the governor had taken an i'm
portapt part In the last stages OF
the fight for the nomination of the
Ohio senator.
At the conference Governor Low
den expressed his eagerness to 60 the
entire distance for the republican
nominee. He left the part he would
play entirely in the hands of the
campaign managers. and they de-
clare, showed an enthusiasm which
was greatly pleasing to them.
No exact speaking dates were ar
ranged for Governor Lowden. Sena-
tor New is working on the principle
that the most effective campaign
ammunition ia to be saved for the
last and 1t Is not probable the gov
ernor will be called upon to speak
until October.
The list of speakers prepared by
Senator New for use In the national
campaign now has more than $4,000
names upon it. The exact figures at
the time Of the last compilation were
12,24s men and 1852 women. Since
then names have come pouring in
and the senator estimates he has
1000 to be placed on the list.
Not all these speakers are to be
used nationally. The majority of
during the campaign. and some will
never leave their counties. The lists
are being classified so the chairman
of the speakers bureau may at a
moments notice furnish speaker
for ward club meeting at which not
more than 200 are expected or an
oratorical star to address some large
gathering.
Education Of speakers on problems
to be discussed il now in progress
The usual campaign text book viii
be the primer for the campaign. but
Senator New has supplemented 1t
with a series Of pamphlets. which
deal with specific issues. AS fast as
these are issued they will be mailed
to speakers.
While there will be exceptions. the
HeneEA plan ID Inat Inc p0rSt OF
oratory shall not begin until Sep
TENDER. In many states national
campaigning ut an, earlier date Is
precluded by the fact that the pri-
maries will not be over until then.
The national committee Is espe-
cially anxious to keep from being in
VOWED in factional fights. This
means not only that the nationa,
campaign will lag In states in which
primaries are still to be held, but
that men. considered speakers Of
national reputation. who are in
volved in factional fights, will be
kept of the national platform.
Democrats will open national head
quarters in Chicago someA time next
week. An official announcement of
this fact, with the location of head
quarters and names OF the men in
charge, will be given out Saturday.
It can be stated positively that there
10 ssno chancA that the democratic
national Headquarters for the mindle
west win be located in Columbus, as
has been suggested by some enthusi-
astic Ohioans.
