BOND ISSUE LOST
BY FOUR TO One
Voters Refuse to Vote Money
to Pay County Officials

COFFEEVILLE, Miss, Oct. A.
The election commissioners of Yalo-
basha County met here today to
canvas the returns of the special
county election Saturday to deter
mine whether or not the board Of
would be allowed to bor-
row money to defray the expenses of
the county for the current year. The
election was overwhelmingly against
the issuance of county loan warrants
for that purpose. This puts the
board of supervisors and county off,
cials in rather an embarrassing pre-
dicament. Very few of the county
have any funds at al.
County officials have received no pay
since the July meeting of the board
and there is very little prospect of
their getting any before February or
March, The road funds are exhaust
cd in most cases. The law does not
permit the issuance of county war
rants unless there is money in the
treasury to meet them and it looks
as II the business of the county will
have to be transacted on q credit
for some months.
This action on the part of the vot-
ers is the elimination of a movement
by the tax payers to curtail expenses
of the county.

OIL sEEPACE FOUND AT 500 FIT.
IN MADISON COUNTY OIL WELL

Don't be surprised if you awake
some morning to learn that a gusher
has been brought in at the Madison
County's Oil Fled where the drillers
state that the prospects look bright
indeed for success.
Work on the well is progressing
rapidly and at depth of about 800
feet unmistakable signs of oil were
found there being very noticeable
oil seepage at that depth.
Whether the pool is located at the
point where the drilling is being done
or whether it is a nile oc SO sway
remains to be seen, but it does seem
that the prospects are more than fair
and stockholders are freezing on to
their holdings.
Whether oil is found or not a good
deal of "gas" has already escaped

HUSBAND RESPONSIBLE
IF WIFE RUNS A STILL

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 3.-The
Michigan supreme court today laid
down the rule that husband is mas
ter in his own home and is guilty of
law violation if his wife with his
knowledge transacts illegal business
in the home.
The decision was given in affirming
a lower court verdict convicting John
Sydisloo of violating the prohibition
law. Testimony was introduced at
the trial to show his wife purchased
a still, installed it in the basement
and sold the liquor.
The supreme court, in ruling Sydis-
loo was properly held as defendant
in the case, declared the Husband is
the head of the family and has the
right at common law to regulate his
household, its expenses and visitors
and to exercise the general control
of the family management"

100000 SOLDIERS
UNDER ARMS TODAY
French Army the Largest
Only Germany is Lower on
the Scale in Active Fighting
Troops Than the United
States-Britain Has 74O, 500

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Active
armies of the IA most important ma
tions of the world today include ap-
proximately six million men, accord
ing to figures obtained here and re-
garded as reasonably correct. With
the inclusion of land armaments in
the agenda of the Forthcoming con-
ference on limitation of armaments
these are the figures with which it is
expected the assembled commission
ers will have to deal.
While China stands first among the
nations in this summary of soldiers
actually under arms, about Sept /,
last, being credited with 100000
active troops, France is far ahead
among nations not distressed by civil
strife in the number of men with the
colors. The French army strength
is placed at 1,034,000 men, the Brit
ish empire standing next with Tl0,.
500, and Germany last with 100000.
The United States stands thirteenth
with $4,000 men in the regular
army, exceeding only Germany, while
Italy has $4,000 0and Japan 100000
active troops.
Figures for other powers include
Russia, $4,000; Poland, 100000;
Greece, 255,O00; Spain, 2k3,00O ;
Switzerland, 100000; Turkey, 1922
600 and Czecho-Slovakia, 100000.

RETAIL FOOD PRICES
IN 10 CITIES SHOWED
DECREASE SEPTEMBER

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Retail
food prices in ten cities showed ten
dency to decrease during September,
according to report made today by
the labor department. In the cities
where figures were obtained Sept. Is.
only one, Richmond, Va, showed an
increase over Augusts prices and this
amounted to about 2 per cent. In
Chicago and Baltimore the depart
ment reported the prices as 8 per
cent below those of the previous
months; in Manchester, N. H., 2 per
cent; in New York, Butte, Bridgeport
and Providence, per cent; while in
Washington and Peoria, H., the drop
was nearly one-half of one DER cent
Retail food prices are still much
above those of 1913, however. the
bureau stated, fixing those in Wash
ington at 65 per cent, New York 81
per cent, and Chicago 55 per cent
above the pre-war level.

SIMMONS WILL co
BEFORE COMMITTEE
TALK OF K. X. K.

ATLANTA, Oct 3.-W. J. Sim
mons, imperial wizard of the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan, today was re-
quested by Chairman Campbell, of
the House rules committee, to come
to Washington on October IL for the
hearing on the Klan, and viii be
there, it was announced late today by
Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, head of the
orders propaganda department. Col.
Simmons was reported i'll at his home,
but Mrs. Tyler said he would appear
before the committee "even if he has
to be taken on a stretcher," and that
probably other officers of the Klan
would accompany him.

Ell DORADO PRODUC-
ton NOW 4,5SS-
444 BARRELS
New Posted Price of 80 Cents
Barrel Encouraging.

Ell DORADO, Arkansas There
were twenty companies in the Ell Do
rado field the uast week, orc Of
which was gas well with an excel
lent output. The initial production
for the week was 1875 barrels, as
compared with 14,365 barrels for the
previous week, with II completions.
Since March "a, the date of the
first commercial shipment of crude
oil from this fled to a refinery at
Shreveport, the field has produced
ovr 4,588,444 barrels of oil, which,
figured at 10 cents barrel, which q
20 cents under the present posted
price, would amount to the neat sum
of $3,190,910. The pipe line run
from the 284 producing wells in the
field was 10000 barrels per day,
tank car shipments 1880 barrels and
local refinery consumption $500, bar
rels, or total production of 10000
barrels per day average for the To-
day period covered by the report.
The most encouraging news of the
past week was the posting of new
price of 80 cents per barrel for El
Dorado crude of "a gravity or better
ny the gun CoihPdhyy WHICH means
to many price of 81, as the inde-
pendent buyers have been paying a
premium of 10 cents per barrel above
posted price for some time.
Building continues brisk, and the
raid by the prohibition enforcement
officers has made many believe that
Ell Dorado is on the road to better
things right along, both in substan-
tial growth and along moral lines as
we'll.
Activity in section 33 is increasing
daily, and it looks like before long
that part of the field will be getting
as much play as section II is at pres
ent. Acreage this part of the field
is changing hands daily and the price
continues to go up.

LAMAR FONTAINE
DEAD-ACE 92 YEARS
Brave Confederate Soldier,
Well Known Author, Civil
Engineer And Raconteur-
Was Nearing 92nd Milestone
in Life
When a Boy Was Captured by
Indians and Held Captive For
Six Years

CLARKSDALE, Miss, Oct. L.
Major Lamar Fontaine, one OF the
most widely known men in Missis-
sippi died at his home at Lyon, near
here early today after an illness of
over year. He was almost 90 years
old. AS a Confederate soldier, au-
thor, engineer and raconteur, Maj.
Fontaine was well known throughout
the Southern states and has been a
favorite figure at every Confederate
reunion since the war.
Born in Texas in 1929, Fontaine,
while boy of ten was captured by
the Indians and held by them for six
years, when he was allowed to re-
turn to his parents. Trained as a
civil engineer, he did surveying work
in all parts of the world and was in
charge of laying out the right of way
for the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
railroad. Giving up his engineering
work in Central America at the be-
ginning of the Civil war, Maj. Fon-
taine enlisted in the Confederate
army, taking part in number of the
important battles of the war and be-
ing wounded number of times and
making several escapes from north
ern prisons. His craftsmanship,
which was remarkable up to the time
Of his last illness, and his diminutive
handwriting were two characteristics
of which Major Fontaine was very
proud, one of favorite feats being to
w,ite the entire Lords prayer in the
Epace covered by silver dime.

JAPAN CLAIMS TO
ESPECIAL CON-
SIDERATION'
Mikado's E Umpire Boasts of
Population Approximately
That of the United States,
Yet in 1908 She Had Less
Than Half as Many.

Here are the reasons for Japan's
connection that her representatives
must be governed by special consid-
erations during the conference called
by President Harding for the discus
sion of limitations of armaments and
far eastern questions:
/. Because expansion is absolute
" ne sessary for the survival of a
pSpuSAtion Of 78,00O,N00 Japanese
hemmed within the borders of an is
land territory only one-third larger
than the state of Texas.
2. Because of her determination
to hold on to the 100000 miles of
land area and to perpetuate her DOM
ination over more than a million miles
of seas that she has acquired or seized
since the Japanese-Russian war, 18
years ago.
3. Because she is determined to
provide larger field for her rapidly
growing merchant marine, through
which she hopes to dictate the trade
conditions of the far east and the Pa
cific.
d. Because she win demand nom
interference with her programme for
exploiting the natural and commercial
resources of Northern China, Corea,
Manchuria, Mongolia and Siberia,
whose populations, aggregating nearly
S0,00O,000, are defenseless against
her huge army and splendid navy.
5. Because of her ambition to
dominate through the application of
imperialistic policies the political and
economic fortunes of the countries
she has coerced with her military ma
chine and from which she must secure
raw materials to crafty her ambition
for world power.
6. Because she is determin-
ed to find homes and occupations,
from which she will greatly profit,
for the teeming millions who struggle
for livelihood in the overcrowded
territory of the imperial island empire
z. Because of her confidence that,
by the application of force, she will
finally compel the assimilation of the
30,000,000 of alien population of For
mosa, Shantung, Mongolia, Saghallen
and the islands of the Pacific man.
dated to her by the Versailles
treaty and the League of Nations.
g.. Because she will demand the
fullest liberty in fortifying the is
lands now administered by her as a
means of defense against any at
tempt to deprive her of the
territory she has illegally seized or to
curtail her dire need for expansion.
o. Because of her demand that
other nations shall grant racial equal
ity to Japanese subjects seeking
homes and occupations outside of the
imperial Japanese empire.
10. Because of her determination
to resist any encroachment by the
United States or any other power
with which she has not consented to
share the trade of Asia and the Pa
cific- through the instrumentality of
secret treaties negotiated for mutual
advantage.

ltemizer Booze case came up for a
hearing in Judge Young's Court.
This was the second trial of the
case, and as in the previous case the

ink keg in the Progress-Itemizer Off

Albert Martin is charged with unlaw-
full possession of the booze. The
officers have tried unsuccessfully
twice to convict young Martin on the
charge of having the whisky in his
possession.

MISS KEARNEY GREETED
BY LARGE AUDIENCE

Miss Belle Kearney, candidate for
the U. S. Senate, spoke in the County
Court House in this city Tuesday
night.
The spacious auditorium was COM
fortably filled by a mixed audience
of about half men and half ladies'.
The talented lady spoke for about an
hour. and the excellent address was
enjoyed by all.
This was the first lady politician to
address Water Valley audience,
and the novelty of it attracted the
large audience out to hear the lady
to satisfy curiosity perhaps more than
to simply hear the political issues dis
cussed.

A HINT TO THE WATER
VALLEY COUNCILMEN

NEW ALBANY Mississippi.-The
New Albany City Council at its last
regular meeting went back to its pre-
war prices on electric lights and wa
ter rates, and expects to operate the
municipal water and light plant at the
same rate and with the same efficient
service it gave before the high prices
occasioned by the war. This puts
the minimum price on both water and
light at 81.

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 4.-Six dis
trict judges ia Texas today were OH
record as having denounced the Ku
K'ux Klan. Most of the judges in
cluded all other kindred orders in
Texas in their denunciation.
The judges called upon grand juries
to investigate activities of masked
bands. Officials of two cities-San
Antonio and Cameron-also gave no
tice that parades of masked men
would not be permitted.
The most scathing criticism from
the bench probably was by District
Judge James R. Hamilton at Austin.
Chapters of the Ku Klux Klan have
been established throughout Texas,
he said, and "bodies of masked men,
dressed in white robes, draping the
American flag with the sign of the
cross, and flying banners giving
warning and threats of violence to
citizens who break the law, have
marched in the night time up and
down the streets of the cities, towns
and villages of Texas"
Declaring that more than so per-
sons have been whipped or tarred
and feathered in the state in the last
six months and that numerous per-
sons had received warnings, Judge
Hamilton read to the grand jury an
article of the Texas penal code which
he said applied to these activities.
Rumors that preparations were be-
ing made for khan parade in San
Antonio were met with statements by
Chief of Police Mussey and Sheriff
Tobin that "any necessary force"
would be used to prevent it.
Mayor Herrall of Cameron, in a
proclamation called upon citizens 10
act as special police to prevent
marching of any masked, disguised
or hooded bands or clans"
AT San Antonio District Judge s.
G. Taylor charged the grand jury Of
the Forty-fifth District Court to make
a complete investigation of the Ku
Klux Klan to determine whether its
purposes and activities in this county
are lawful" He cited the laws on
white-capping, assault, and rioting,
instructing the jury to return in
dictments if any violations were
found.
The city council of Smithville,
Texas, today passed an ordinance af-
fixing penalty against "any person
who refuses to assist an afficer when
duly sworn by that officer to help en-
force the antiparade law"
w. A. Keeling, assistant attorney
general at Austin, said the attorney
generals department would not give
an opinion as to whether a parade by
the Ku Klux Klan in full regalia, or
any other masked body of men, is a
violation of the laws of Texas unless
such an opinion was sought through
the proper channels.
