CRIME AND THE MOVIES

If such a large per cent of crime is caused by the picture shows, what caused so much crime before there were any picture shows?
 The picture shows are re- cent invention and have been in existence only few years, yet there has been crime in the world for thousands of years.
 Those old ignorant moss backs who delight in denounc- ing picture shows as crime breeders ought to examine their logic. Thinking people recognize motion pictures as one of the greatest education al forces of modern times. But the mossback is like the light ming bug-he wears his head light behind and is "agin" anything that is new or mod ern.

FARM BUREAU ASKS
 FOR COUNTY AGENT Adopts Resolution Asking Quorum Court For Appro-
 ations Ensuing Year

The following was unani- mously adopted by the Inde- pendence County Farm Bureau at it's meeting. at. Batesville Tuesday.
 To The Honorable Quorum
 Court of Independence
 County.
 The County Farm Bureau composed of about 300 farm CTS and a growing membership of the County, respectfully petition your honorable body that you make an appropria- tion of Two Thousand t$2,- 000.00) Dollars as a minimum appropriation for a county agent for the ensuing year. This is, we feel, absolutely necessary to the Agricultural interest of the county in put ting through the cooperative marketing work begun in the countryside of live stock, Strawberry Growers Associa- tion, Sweet Potato Growers and Cotton Growers Associa- tion, which if not supported by County appropriation at this time we feel will fail.
 The Federal Government is ready to do it's part if the county does it's part and the Farm Bureau has about gone the limit of it's ability.
 We are taxpayers and citi. zens of the county and this is a work from which all the county should benefit.
 The work of the county agent for the past year has been entirely satisfactory to us, and we commend the busi- ness and financial institutions for their help in enabling us

Republican at Plainview Sends Vigorous Kick to the
 Postmaster General

Washington, Oct. 25.-Al- though officials of the postof- flee department profess to know nothing of it, the fact was revealed today that Ben- jamin J. Smith of Plainview, Ark, has charged that post master recommendations in Arkansas have been placed on the auction block, and are being sold at from $50 to $250 each.
 This charge was contained in a letter which MT. Smith. who is a member of the Repub- lican executive committee for the Fifth congressional district has sent to Postmaster Gener- al Hays.
 In his letter the Arkansan declared he has long been a Republican and is still an &C., tive worker for the party that Yell county was assessed S40O as it's part of the national cam paign fund and that the amount was advanced by one of the leading and influential members of the party in that section. Efforts to reimburse this Republican were not pur- sued with vigor and by reason of non-payment, he now claims it as his right and privilege to levy assessments against the Republican candidates for postmaster whom he endorses.
 This, it is charged, has been done, and that one candidate for the postmastership at Plainview paid $200, with the specific understanding that he would receive the endorse ment of the Republican or ganization for that position.

CORONER FREES MAN
 WHO KILLED BROTHER
Father Was Witness of Fatal Duel Between Charles and
 Arthur Spier

Morrilton, Oct. 25.-Arthur Spier was shot and killed yes- terday afternoon by his broth CT, Charles Spier, when the brothers met in the road.
 Details regarding the shoot ing brought out at the inquest were to the effect that the 5rothers had been on bad terms for nearly two years and met while driving along a road some nine miles northeast of Morrilton. Arthur is said to have drawn pistol and Charl- es picked up a shotgun which lay in the bottom of a wagon in which he was driving. Both fired and Arthur fell dead.
 R. 1. Spser, father of the two men, was III the wagon with Charles. It is said the two brothers met near Plum- merville last August and each emptied his gun at the other, but neither Was hurt.

There is gold and silver ir Independence county.
 There is no lenger any ques- ton about this. We have the real article in the bowels of Mother Earth right at our door. The Journal man has seen with his own eyes and handled with his own hands the refined gold, silver, and platinum reduced from the ore taken from the Sanders farm near Newark.
 w. T. Barr who has been one of the most faithful and consistent plodders in the movement to learn the truth as to the vaule of the mineral discoveries in this section, has been at least partially reward ed for his faithful efforts.
 Taking a quantity of the mineral to Little Rock, he suc- ceeded in getting some com petent men to come there and make a test of the mineral. Taking quantities of the min- eral at random from his col lection, it was put through the reduction process, the test being made under guard and in the presence of disinterest- ed witnesses in order to be sure that nothing crooked was being put over.
 Reduction tests were made for gold, silver and platinum.
 In making the reduction test for gold, a quantity of ore equal to about a double hand ful was used. The pure gold obtained from this test was a small button" as large as a squirrel shot flattened out. In making the test for sil. yer, more ore was used and 8 quantity of silver as large as

 Senator Kirby stated that after making a personal in- vestigation of the situation, every member of his company was highly pleased with the outlook. He stated that they will buy the necessary mach inery and equipment at once and expected to have their plant in operation within the next ninety days.
 Neither Senator Kirby Of any of his party did not dis cuss their plans or give out any information except to say that they were we'll pleased with the outlook and expected to have a plant in operation just as soon as possible.

a quarter of a dollar was ob- tained. MT. Barr has two l pieces of silver, one of which contains nickel, the other being almost pure silver.
 The button" of platinum obtained is smaller than any of the others, but is more val uable.
 Fifteen different assays have been made by as many differ ent people from ore taken from the Sanders farm, and the lowest estimate of the val ue placed upon it by any of the assays is $68.41 per ton Assays show the values run from $68 to $165 per ton.
 At this rate the Sanders farm runs into staggering millions of dollars. Based on govern ment estimates of the tons per acre of ore-bearing dirt of this character contained in one acre there are sixty-four million tons of ore-bearing mineral on the 160 acre tract of the San- ders farm on which these tests have been made.
 If this be true, multiply the average value of the mineral by sixty-four million and you will have a fair idea of the value of the Sanders farm that is if you can comprehend the meaning of billions.
 The thing is enormous and staggers the imagination when Continued on last page)
