They All Persist
In Side-stepping the
Jazz Dance Step

New York, Sept. lit is almost
impossible to find out who is to blame
for jazz dancing.
Really, this is q question which
many consider by no means incon-
sequential. At first thought, one
might pin the responsibility on the
dancing teachers, but if you ask
them, they will shrug their tuxedoed
shoulders in a rhythmic manner and
plead not guilty. It's the fault of the
composers. they will tell you. passing
the buck in double-quick time.
The denial of the composers is
sharp. their contradiction fat and the
explanation of the why of iazz music
natural-they give the public what it
wants.
Seemingly the public is divided In
its opinion on this big question. Some
say the younger generation is to
blame. Jazz dancing and jazz music
are, to repeat their own words, just
exactly what one might expect when
the youth of land gads about in
sporty automobiles Stimulates con-
tempt for Mrs. Grundy's ideas and
shows determination to do every
thing in fast and snappy way.
Others maintain that jazz is a
natural reaction to Victorian Gus
toms. A few of their neighbors, al
most abandoning hope. resign them
selves to the thought that that some
thing called the spirit Of the age ~
really the reason for fitful dancing
styles. expressing wonder the while
as to just what this little old world il
coming to-
The manner in which the dancing
instructors put the blame on the
chaps who create tunes is exemplified
by r. w. Way, pr sident of the
American Society of Dancing Teach
ers
Dancing Is wholly a matter Of
music" he said. 1.-The reason a
waltz is out Of date is because there
is no Strauss today to compose real
one and make the people glide to it.
When good music Is composed, good
dancing will result As long as you
have jazz music you will have Jazz

Maine Governor and
Congressman Confer
on Water Power

Portland. Me. Sept, 17.--An infor-
NAL meeting of certain public men in
terested in the water power question

FEARS WOMAN; KILLS. SELF
Mena Man Had Just Married, Although
 Engaged to Another.

Mena, Sept. 19.-Fear of suit for breach of promise is believed to have caused R. o. Owen, former real estate dealer of Mena, to end his life at his country home, near Rainbow Springs last night. Owens lifeless body was found by his bride, who formerly was Mrs. Sarah Dalton and whom he mar. ried only 4S hours previous to his death. A bullet through the head caused death.
 The coroner's inquest today de' veloped the fact that Owen had ask ed Mrs. M. J. Hunter of Roxton, Tex. to come to eMna and marry him. Be- fore she arrived Owen married Mrs Dalton, a resident of Mena. Mrs Hunter reached Mena Sunday after noon, and shortly after Owen learned of her arrival he shot and killed himself
 Owen formerly lived at Springfield Mo. He was 57 years old, and before ending his life wrote farewell mes sage leaving all his property to hif new bride.

During the period early last week cotton was at the high point there was much selling, and much of the old cotton was brought out and sold. Sat urday at the close of the week when the prices had sunk below 20 cents the receipts of new cotton was heavier, but practically all of it went into the warehouse. There is no use for any of this seasons cotton selling below 2C cents. While We do not believe that much of it will likely be sold for over 25c it seems good plan would be to sell some cotton each time It takes one of it's upward flights and to sell none every time it falls below the headline. It is often said that one mans opinion is as good as another. We would avoid radical view.

Almost every week brings before us a new horrible example of some man who obtained riches and ended in disgrace because he couldn't stand prosperity. And still who is it among us who would not like to be rich! It is more likely that the amount Of the riches is not the thing that does the deadly work, but the lack of charact- CT. When the mind is allowed to take up too much in the development of one faculty it is likely to be at the exnense of others. When character, lack of morals, is allowed to dwarf, look out for the crash. It's an olo law perhaps, but you cant peat IL down with the new philosophy or sensuous pleasure.

SEIZE 60-GALLON STILL
Also Arrest Two Howard County Men
 Charged With Its Operation.

Nashville, Sept 1S.-After lying in the underbrush for more than four hours watching moonshine drip from the end of the coil into fruit jar Deputy Sheriff Dick Stanton and Charles Still yesterday captured a '6O-gallon still Three gallons of fin- fshed whiskey and 25O gallons of beer, five miles northeast of Dierks, ty. The still was operated on Trout Branch. which runs along the foot of high cliff. the location be- ing one of tho, most secure in this part of the country.
 Bud Chandlers and John Helmns were captured with the still, and have given bond for their appearance for preliminary examination Tuesday. After being captured Chandler stat cd that the still had been in use in his family for many years, and that nothing but the purest whiskey had ever been made on it.
 The deputies had gone to the still early in the morning and hidden themselves in the underbrush before the arrival of the moonshiners. They waited while the men built their fire and made run of three gallons of whiskey. They then advanced on tham with a rush, getting within 10 feet of them before their presence was discovered.
 The big copper boiler and the five barrels of beer were destroyed. The whiskey and copper cap and worm were brought in as evidence. Chand- Ter told the deputies the still and all supplies were his property, it is said, and that Helms had only been em- ployed to help make run. The of- ficers say that they have been trying for several years to capture the Chandler still, but they had always been able to outwit them. The still captured is the finest ever seen in this county, and is estimated to be more than five years old.
