Came Back to Polk County

Mir. and Mrs. John Howell and son and Newt Ellsworth, who have been in the famous Salt river valley in Arizona for some time past, arrived in Mena Tuesday for an indefinite stay. Mir. Howell was the leader of party of Polk county cotton growers who had gone into the Arizona couu- try to raise long staple, an industry that suffered greater slump than did the short staple in the southern states. There being little demand for cotton production in the Salt river country this year the Polk county folks decided to come back home. Mir. Howell reports that many of the farmers are turning to alfalfa rais- ing this year. Hay has already been cut twice this year and alfalfa is so plentiful it is worth only S7 a ton.

BALANCED COATS WITH DOGS.
Interesting Settlement by (.
 Rockwell and D. A. Hazel.

A goat killing that occurred at Mountain Top farm Tuesday morn- ing ended at sundown with dog killing, a settlement having been ar ranged between c. s. Rockwell, owner of the goats and D. A. Hazel. owner of the dogs. MT. Rockwell, who is one of the promoters of the goat in- dustry in Polk county, has a fine herd of Angoras on Mountain Top farm, and when he visited the herd Tuesday found that pair of murderous canines had attacked the bunch, kill ing five. Rockwell surprised the dogs in their butchery, and having been raised with a rope in his hand at once put his cowboy training in good use and after a hard chase lassoed and tied up both dogs. The description he brought to Mena of the two dogs caused Mir. Hazel to believe they were his dogs, and he at once agreed to make settlement with MT. Rockwell according to law Justice Will Carr of Potter appointed an ar bitration board and taking the state ments of Mir. Rockwell as to the value of the goats and Mir. Hazel as to the worth of the dogs, found that the two estimates almost balanced. The arbi- trators suggested that the dogs, be- ing of equal value with the goats killed, be likewise slaughtered. This met with the approval of the men in terested and as a result two dead dogs were added to the pile of dead goats.

Vice President, Speaking With Hard
 ing, Urges Respect for Laws.

New York. May 23.-- Respect for the law and opposition to radicalism were urged upon Americans tonight by President Calvin Coolidge in an ad- dress at the l25th anniversary cele- bration of the New York Commercial.
 Any elass or organization, he said, undertaking to obtain for itself privi legcs not open to any other class or organization was hostile to American institutions and a menace to Amer ican liberty.
 There is right of contract of agreement and association among ir- diyiduals that is protected so long as the end sought ia equal justice" he continued. "Any effort that contem- plate coercion and force ia an inter- ference with our conception of Amer. ican liberty and justly denounced by American law.
 There is need to resist radicalism. not because it may overthrow the gov ernment, but because it is 8 disturb ing and wasteful element in society,"
