SPREAD DEATH AND TERROR.
Chicago Gunman Killed Two and Him.
 self in Indiana Town

Chicago, April Running wild or the streets of Michigan City, Ind, to- night, William Riscau, Chicago hold up man and ex-convict, shot and killed J. M. Zimmerman, night captain of police, and Paul Spencer, patrolman; severely wounded Frank Arndt, a res taurant keeper; terrorized scores O. women and children, and finally com mitted suicide in a motor car.
 An alleged woman companion of Ris- eau, as vet unidentified, and who pre- viously had been placed under arrest escaped following the killings and IS believed to have drowned herself.
 Riscau, whose reputation in the In- diana town has not been good, ap- preached two officers who had arrested a woman. Half a dozen words passed, then came two bashes from Riscaus' $ gun.
 Zimmerman, shot thru the brain died instantly. Spencer, mortally wounded. sank to the pavement. He lived an hour
 Riscau communicated a passing mo- tor car and demanded that he be driven to Canada" the nickname for a suburb across the river.
 At Arndt's restaurant, he left the car and entered the place. Walking up to Arndt, the owner, Riscau fired twice. Arndt sank to the floor, bull let in each leg. Riscau, after the shooting, backed slowly to the door and shot himself.

DREW LOTS TO DECIDE HEIR.
Owner of Beautiful Home in Bermuda
 Left Unique Will.
ilton, Bermuda, April

Hamilton, Bermuda, April B. Richard Darrell won "Norwood," a fine residence property on the shore of Hamilton Harbor and one of the show places of Bermuda, by drawing lots yesterday with two other persons in compliance with the provisions of an unusual will of his uncle.
 Henry Darrell, late owner of this estate. could not decide which of his three nephews he would make his heir, so he stated in his will that they should throw dice and let fate decide the matter. But in the interval. his sister, Miss Harriett, was to retain a life interest and continue har rae: dence at "Norwood"
 Miss Darrell died in January, last and arrangements were then made to carry out the terms of the bequest. Ii was thought best, however, to modify the plan to the extent of substituting slips of paper which were shuffled in a box, for the dice throwing.

NAKED KULTUR" IS
 A SHOCK TO BERLIN
Immodesty in Dress at Public Dances Draws V0lleys of Protest
 from High OaiciaIs.

Berlin, April 4.-"Naked kultur' in Berlin today had passed the limits set by dance hall proprietors for de- collette dressing.
 President Hugo Welter of the pro- prietor's association, asked that ac- tion be taken to compel women to wear more clothing to dances.
 One has only to see these mum dane affairs" he said, regardless of what welfare society auspices they are under, to realize that almost al- ways they are pretext for the shameless display of feminine charms.
 Welter declared the costumes of all classes of women at welfare or other balls were patterned on "the naked modes" of the half world which orig inally adopted them for the conner cial value"
 He appealed for government aid to purify the danceV declaring the ai- lies pointed to them as evidence that Germany has enough money Co en- gage in orgies.
 President Ebert has indicated he will support the movement. He as- serted that dances given to aid wei fare work developed into displays for DiAdilt NDSNuIillllH Witu bflc WtlldTd element almost overlooked
 In the reischstag, government off, eials have been attacked for attend ing. costly balls which were generally looked upon as meeting places for profiteers.
 The shamelessness of the profteers, one member declared, was rivalled by the shamelessness of their wom- ems gowns"

COUNTY FUNDS BRING LESS.
Mena Banks Bid 49t and Each Gets Part-SchOOl District 20 to Cove.

aht-iOtHOOi DActAANt AO tO SONC.
 County Judge H. W. Finger opened bids of the various banks Monday for the county depository, and found that each of the three Mena banks had bid per cent for the county funds, and that the Bank of Cove and Bank of Hatfield had each bid per cent on certain school and road funds.
 These bids were lower than what has been paid by the county deposi- tory in the past, and Judge Finger considered rejecting all as being too low, but as this course would mean a delay of at least thirty days, during which time there will be more funds on deposit than at any other period of the year, it was decided to divide the money among the various bidders as follows:
 The Bank of Cove will get the funds of school district No. 20 at per cent, the bank to give bond in the sum of $6,O00.
 The Farmers and Merchants and First National banks each were awarded 2s of the balance of the school funds, and of the road and general funds at per cent interest, each to make bond of $73,000.
 The Planters State bank was award ed the remaining one-fourth of the above funds at per cent, to make a bond of $4S,000.

oLIN WOOD WINS RACE.
And He Is Youngest Man Ever Elected
 to Office in Mena.

Tuesdays election in Mena did more than just to decide who the municipal officers are to be for the next two years. The battle of ballots created for Mena the youngest alderman ever known in the city, when a majority o1 voters decided they wanted Olin Wood to be the representative of the First ward. Alderman Wood is 22 years of age.
 There was but one contest on the ticket, and that was between Jimmy Wood and c. s. Tankersley, who tied m the primary race. The tie was de- clded Tuesday and Wood was winner by 78 votes. The unofficial returns show that Jimmy" carried every ward in the city, getting a total of 22f votes to l43 for Tankersley. The con test was closest in the First ward, where both candidates live, and where the final count showed Wood 2 votes to the, good. The vote by wards was as follows:

ARTICLE 10 IS EMBARRASSING.

Demand by Albania for Aid Against Serbs and Greeks Raises Question.
 London, April 5.--A demand by Albania that the League of Nations, under article 10 of the covenant, in- tervene to prevent encroachment on Albanian territory by Serbian and Greek troops, creates highly embar- rassing situation. and a wide differ ence of opinion among league of ficials.
 This is the first time, if the Alban- ian delegation at Rome persists in it's determination to bring the matter of ficially before the league, that the necessity of applying the much de- bated article has arisen
 It is questioned by many large of ficials, in the first place, whether ar ticle 10 is not already dead letter. And in the second place, conceding that article 10 means what it says, there is great doubt that the league could induce it's members to contrib ute the military contingents and funds necessary to protect Albanian interests.
 The League of Nations is not yet sufficiently organized to enforce either the military provision of article 10 or the economic blockade authorized in such cases.

Samples of gold and silver bearing ore sent to Denver for assaying by T. J. Taylor have brought back en- couraging reports.

This ore with modern mill can have the bullion put into mintable bars for Sl per ton after it has been delivered to the mill at the rate of 100 tons per day. A smaller plant would cost little more.

COSTS s CENTS
 TO GROW COTTON
Department of Agriculture Reports Result of Survey in Georgia--Great Disparity Between Cost of Pro-
 ducti0n and Prices Realized.

Washington, April 4.-C o n growing can meet the present price situation by carefully considering operating expenses and reducing them whenever there is likelihood of obtaining low yield per acre, the Department of Agriculture says in a report today on the results of sur vey on basic requirements and cost of producing cotton.
 By applying last years man and mule rates for labor and prices then paid for seed and fertilizer to the basic requirements in an investiga- tion in Mitchell county, Georgia, the average production cost of cotton was fixed at approximately B cents a pound.
 Man and mule rates for labor in this investigation and seed and fer tilizer costs, the department says, constituted 84 per cent of the total operating expense, exclusive of land rent. Other expenses amounting to 16 per cent of the total including such tttiIlh dS uldnufCs tQutDilltHl, taxes, insurance and overhead. Man labor was charged at the rate of 30 cents an hour, mule labor 20 cents an hour, seed $81 ton and fertilizer at $46 ton.
 Cost $52.26 an Acre.
 From the total cost of $56.16 an acre a seed credit of $3.90 was de- ducted, making a total net cost of $52.26.
 Asserting that the rates for labor and seed did not start to decline until after the 1920 crop had been pro- duced, the report adds:
 with cotton around 12 to 15 cents a pound the returns not only allowed no interest on capital, but failed to pay operating expenses at going rates for labor and prevailing prices for agriculture. With cotton at 15 cents a pound it would require a yield of approximately 450 pounds of lint to cover operating expenses"
 "The application of the basic re- quirements of production in estimat- ing costs should be of vital interest to growers at this tinie." the report adds. "This history of the year, 1920, will not be forgotten immediately, and it will be safe to say that the lessons of this period will bear some fruit"
