RACE. TO GET
COTTON QUOTA
Columbia and Jackson Are
in Spirited Contest for
This Honor-Greene EN-
ploys County Director.

Little Rock, Nov. 19.--Columbia
and Jackson counties are engaged
in a spirited race for the honor OF
being the second county in Arkansas
to secure its quota in the sign-up
campaign Of the Arkansas Farm Bu-
reau Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association, according to reports
received at farm bureau headquar-
ters in the old county courthouse
Yesterday. Pulaski county was
first, having exceeded its quota sew
eral weeks ago, but it is realized
that conditions were especially IA
yorable in this county because of the
TACT that SO many of the large Scott
planters were active in organizing
The association and that the first
signed up their own cotton.
An optimistic report was received
yesterday from l.. G. Somerall, who
is directing crew of trained work
bia county. The drive will be con-
tinued for two weeks and Mr.
Scmerall reports that farmers in
large numbers are joining both the
Farm Bureau and the cotton asso-
citation.
Jackson County Close Up.
However, reports also indicate
that Jackson county will be a
close competitor of Columbia. An
intensive two weeks campaign is
being conducted in Jackson county
under the direction Of j. s. Will
liams, member of the cotton asso-
Citations Organization Committee
and Warner Moore, worker who
had experience In the successful
Texas campaign.
The reports indicate that, with
Jackson county nearing it's quota,
District No. 2, which includes Pu-
laski county, may be the first tc
sign up its minimum quota which
10 $4,000 bales, although District
No. 3, under the leadership of NJ. G.
Graham, Is close second.
Several additional counties in
District No. ! have employed county
directors, among them Craighead
and Greene. S. S. Coleman, a big
Poinsett county planter and NOR
chant, is acting as supervisor of this
district. He is assisted by II. D.
Morrel. young planter of Ellis
county, Texas, who had experiences
|in the Texas campaign Ellis ia the
largest cotton-producing county in
tho South.
Hugh T. Brown, commodity diree.
tor of the Arkansas Farm Bureau
Federation, was much pleased by q
letter received yesterday from j. NJ
Barker, president OF the Bank OF
Atkins. Mr.. Barker not only gave
his hearty endorsement to the cotton
association, but showed his sinceri.
ty by enclosing a check to aid the
associations finances.

BLYTHEVILLE
HAS ANOTHER
UGLY EPISODE
Mrs. Murphy Mysteriously
Disappears With | s
Months Old Babe-May
Have Left With Rogers.

The latest sensation III the a11alrs
of Blytheville is the sudden and
mysterious disappearance of = Mrs.
Maud Murphy from that city on
October 21st. Every effort to locate
the woman and her Is months old
babe has proven futile and the be-
lief is now prevailing in that city
that she took leave with Deputy
Sheriff E. B. Rogers, the abscond-
ing official from the office of Sher-
if Dwight Blackwood who left on
October 30th for parts unknown,
leaving shortage in his official ac-
counts to the amount of something
like $4,000. No trace of Rogers
has been found, according to latest
reports, but it is believed he is in
Mexico.
Mrs. Murphy suddenly left her
home in Blytheville on Friday
October 21st, 10 days prior to the
Sunday afternoon when E. B. Rog-
ers, the deputy sheriff, was report
ed murdered near Manila. The date
on which the woman left her home
indicates she came on to Paragould
by pre-arranged plans and join
ed Rogers here after he had driven
his Ford sedan through to this city
and parked the vehicle on Poplar
street, near the intersection OF
Pruet. A woman was seen driving
the car on the morning of the 31st
woman was in the vehicle when
lit was parked. 1t is claimed she
was seen at the depot following the
parking of the car. It has been
proven conclusively that the car in
question was the property of the
iefaulting official.
The Blytheville Courier, in it's re-
fport of the disappearance of Mrs
Murphy, says:
MRS. Maud Murphy, formerly of
(Caruthersville, has been missing
from her home at 100 Seventeenth
street, this city, since Oct. 21st
and her husmand and five small
children are nearly crazed as to her
wherea bouts.
"She took her 16 months old
babe with her and no trace has
been left behind. There was nc
apparent reason for her strange dis
appearance. Her home life was
pleasant and her husband had a
position at the Chicago mill. 1t is
feared she is demented and may
have ended her life. She formerly
lived in Caruthersville. Any informa
tion as to her whereabouts will be
thankfully received by her husband
Quite a few connect her strange
disappearance with that of E. B
Rogers. absconding deputy sheriff
She left Oct. 21st, and could have
placed her child in Big Lake or ar
orphanage and joined the fleeing
official. The jitney driver in Para.
gould says a dark haired woman
drove the car into that city, go,
! out and went into the depot. She
was dark haired and very attractive
Her disappearance without apparent
cause may be explained by the
above theory"

and the gathering of knots of men
about the courthouse later in the
day, caused Sheriff Mays to attempt
to remove the negro secretly to
Mariana.
The deputies left Helena shortly
after dark, and when they arrived
a short distance beyond the Glen

Before news of the mob's action
reached the city, crowd gathered
about the courthouse to which the
Jail is attached, and there were
open threats of breaking down the
Jail doors and getting Turner. Sher-
iff Mays, while talking with some of
the crowd, was notified of the kill
ing of the negro, by the mob near
the Glenwood dairy. The crowd ap-
the information, and there were
cries: Lets go to the Jail, this is a
bluff"
Sheriff Mays asked those nearest
him in the crowd if the brother of
the negro's victim was present
There were cries of Here he is
C"All right said the sheriff, "Tll
take him through the Jail and let

UNITED STATES
TO STAND PAT
ON ITS PLAN
Delegates Say Only Way to
End Naval Competition Is
to Stop It-Oppose Modi-
fications.

Washington, Nov. 19-President
Harding's long contemplated assocIa-
tion Of nations to preserve world
peace was shadowed forth yesterday
in the course of momentous revela-
tions of the policy the administra-
tion will pursue in the effort to
achieve a real naval holiday and
new deal in the Far East.
Here are the high points in the
disclosures:
/. The United States will oppose
with vigor tho endeavor OF Japan to
obtain greater proportion OF capt.
tai ship tonnage than proposed in
the Hughes plan, which ia so per
cent of the tonnage of either Great
Britain or America, and mere than
Japan's present strength.
g. The American gov 9 rnment
stands flat-footed on the proposition
that the world demands an end to
competitive naval building; that the
only way TO end it is to STOP, and
that any effort by tho powers con-
cerned to disturb the relation of
fighting ships laid down in the
American proposal would constitute
at once a reopening Of competitive
building.
B. The American delegation also
will oppose any modification which
would permit construction Of one
capital ship a. year or any other re-
placement plan which would make
tho naval holiday "only half
holiday'
Would Make Agreement.
q, The administration is prepared
to enter into an agreement with tho
other powers to halt encroachments
upon China and otherwise stabilixs
the peace OF the Far Hast--ouch an
agreement ~ the British and Japa-
nese have proposed as substitute
for the Anglo-Japanese alliance
which then would be dissolved.
5. When an asreementAOn the re-
duction and limitation OF naval arm
ament is reached by the powers rep
resented in this conference all other
countries will be invited to subscribe
to 1t as world charter of peace,
proclaimed by an association OF ma
tions dedicated to the adoption of
practical means to minimize war.
6. No formal treaties, requiring
the consent of the Senate are con-
templated, the purpose being to
achieve the object in each case by
an exchange of diplomatic notes,
though executive orders and perhaps
some exchanges would be required to
carry out the naval holiday and
scrapping Of ships on the part of
the United States.
