RUSSIA, with It's one hunured ana 1uty
millions, which might turn the scale in the
great world conflict, has been driven by the
marauding expeditions against her which
this nation Of ours, together with France
and England, have finsnced-driven by
every affront that our stupid statesman
ship could devise-driven by every rebuff
Of her friendly overtures, until from being
our foremost friend and the strongest bar
rier against oriental aggression that Eu-
ropean civilization had, she has become
leagued with Europe's oriental enemies
If the three greatest of the white nations
of Europe are unable to resist the little
isolated Turk and unable to prevent him
from again invading southeastern Europe,
how long will 1t be before the other orien-
tai nations vii. realize the weakness Of Eu-
rope and unite TO defy it, even If not to
evade 1t?
How long then will the white races be
able to maintain world domination?
How long then will we be able to avert war
with united Asia?
The white races are only two-fifths of the
people of the world, and if Russia--part
Asistic and part European--has been COM
PEELED 70 any herself with the Asiatics, the
man pswer Of the occidental races will be
even further reduced and the strength of
the orisntal races proportionately increased.
Possibly, in fact probably, this is not the
time and the occasion when the oriental in
vasion will occur, but the likelihood of its
occurring Is made clear to those who have
any knowledge of the past and any in
sight into the future.
The character of the great war that will
come also Is made clear The bitter hatreds
which the Asiatics have for the white,
Christian nations is made clear.
The hideous cruelty and savage blood
thirstiness Of oriental armies is made clear.
The kind Of treatment Europe may ex-
pect and America may expect from oriental
soldiers is made clear-babies impaled on
bayonets, men murdered and mutilated,
women dragged off by thousands into the
most degrading form of slavery.
Men and women Of Christian America,
citizens of civilized America, center your
attention on the Near East, and realize
that what is happening there may some
time happen on our own shores.
We do not want war; but war is not
eliminated by the fact that we do not want
il.
War exists-and race war, religious war,
the cruelist and bloodiest kind of war, is
rife on the boundaries of Europe and Asia.
Europe-disunited, demoralized - would
be little able to ward off blow.
If the blow is not delivered now, if the
inevitable conflict is postponed, surely Eu-
rope should employ the respite to end her
family feuds, to build up the strength of
all her nations, to unite the white peoples
in power and purpose, to- present an un-
divided front to her foe
And we Americans proud of our race,
our nation and our ideals, must take care
that we do not with weak and watery- eyed
policies of pscifism render ourselves so pow
erless that when the world war crisis comes
we viii be unable to protect our civilization
our religion, or even ourselves.

RuY OPERA HOUSE BLOCK
w. E. and D. M Watkins Become Owners of Valuable Proeprty.

An important deal in real estate, and one that means much for the business district of Mena, was com pleted Friday afternoon when the sale of the burned opera house block was arranged. The property, one of the best business locations in the city, was sold to w. F. Watkins by Joseph Kalavoda, owner of the structure at the time of the fire last month. The price paid was not made public. Deeds for the transfer have been sent to Mrs. Kalavoda for signature, by her husband, who has been in Mena this week arranging for the disposal of the property. The Messrs. Watkins have not decided upon plans for the remodeling and rebuilding of ths property, but it is certain they vii put 1t in shape that will not only makt the building attractive to the eye, bu' more desirable as a business asset.

The Southside grocer was much surprised, but couldn't back out of the deal The purchaser was Mrs. Sarah Nandagrif, late Of Duncan. 0k.. who already owns a nice home ca Eleventh street. but desires to move closer to the business section.

facilities and financing the American farmer could, by a similar process, avoid some of the loss incurred by throwing almost the entire grain crop upon the market within short period and thereby depressing the price.
 Let us not deceive ourselves into thinking that our agricultural prob lem will be solved if the farmer is re- stored to the relative position he oe- cupied before the war. The farmer cannot hope thru future years to ob- tain the enhanced value of farm lands the reward for his heavy toll. This may occur in some localities, but in the main that condition has passed and the farmer must now receive g better and more dependable return for his efforts than in the past if he or the rest of us are to enjoy real prosperity in the future.

make possible the solution of some of the farmers problems which in the past have been understood by few ex- cept those actually engaged in farm ing,
 The agricultural problem, however, is deeper than is indicated by current discussions in the press and else where, which treat it pureiy as a present emergency
 In my judgment, the root of the trouble is in the fact that America s farmers have not received adequate compensation for their effort, as com pared with the compensation in oth- CT vacations.
 The accumulated wealth of our az ricultuIal classes largely represents enhanced land values rather than the 1 earrings from their labor or the pro- ! fits from their investment. The farm CT should have fair return for his l his service as compared with the ! earnings of any other class, and il we exclude the item of enhanced lanc value he has not received this return even in better times.
 Perhaps the most serious aspect of the agricultural situation is that ths farmers fixed expenses, which tn, manufacturer would call overhead or burden, are now much higher thar they have ever been before. The sin. gle item of farm taxes in many local ities is higher today that than tn. rental on the same farm would have been a comparatively short time ago Again, especially with the youngel farmers, land has been acquired dur ing recent years at high valuation and present crop returns cannot mee' the taxes and interest charges. Thes. overhead or fixed expenses are be yond the farmers control and consti tute problem that is more serioui to him than the difference betweel the values of what he sells and wha he buys.
 Curtailment Only Recourse.
 The only recourse of the Amerieal farmer in the current period of dis tress is one that he and manv other
 have employed before-that .s. heav, curtaiiment of buying Farmers pur chases were far below normal i'd fg2I snd they remain at low levels. Mean while the prices fl practically srers thing the farEuers buy have been con ! stantlT working lower until xe nov Ind that the single Item of increase.

AWFUL DECISION
BY BALL CHIEF ON
CROTTO- SHRINERS
High Commissioner of Baseball
Hands Down whats What"
on Recent Encounter.

After lengthy elaboration on this ALL
important subject. His Honor Judge
Lands, high commissioner of baseball.
has handed down this decision on the re-
cent shrine-Grotto alleged game. ...
''Messrs. H. A. Daniels and r. T. Cup
pies
Gentlemen: .--'E
In the cause coming before me in re-.
gard to the game between the Shrine and
Grotto club, the following decision is
given for the benefit of all concerned:
In the present case, there being a con-
flict in the evidence as to matter be-
lieved to be material, the court properly
directs that no further evidence as to this
point be submitted.
The court found the fifth specification
Of the fourth charge not proved. This
specification alleges that Johnny Jones
can play ball, which is beyond reason
able doubt.
By reasonable doubt is intended not
fanciful or ingenious doubt or conjec-
ture, but substantial, honest, conscien-
tious doubt, not removed by material evil
dence in the case.
1t was established by the evidence in
this case, that the Shrine club as a whole
are far from being ball players, but as
ping pong players that is something else
again.
On the sixth specification Of the thir-
teenth charge the court found that WAL
ter White is a punk manager, and that
Handsome Have and Little Willie be
fined $500 each for eating the refresh
ments before the game started.
On the third specification of the fourth
charge the court found that the Camers
milk as sold by Noble Cole was diluted
but whether by water or bootleg the
court cannot decide. Noble Stevens
claims it was water while Noble Augeny
claims it was 100 proof. A sample Is
being tested.
In view of all the circumstances OF the
case, and the fact that the umpires were
flirting with some one in the grand stand,
the runner was out at third base which
made the third out, and therefore the
game was a tie, by a score of IL to H.
1t is therefore ordered that the De-
Molay team play both the Shrine and
Grotto teams on the afternoon OF Oct.
4, 1922, and may the DeMolays win. !
Done and ordered this 23rd day of Sept
1922.
Come on DeMolay."

Sends Panthers Ahead But
HUM Also Hits Home Run.

and Mobile fought a ten inning six

gle.
After the Texans had gone ahead by
scoring two runs in the eighth, the
fighting Bears came back in the ninth
and knotted the count, when Baker,
pinch hitting for Fulton singled,
Schultz walked and D. Williams slam
med one to right field fence. The

him and advanced on an infield hit
by r. williams and Mullen's bunt.
Fort Worth evened the count in

Yank Hurlers Good
But Outfield Weak

With all other rivals virtually elm
mated from the pennant races, the
New York Giants and Yankees are
practically certain to face each other
again in the 1922 World Series. The
Yanks are on an uphill climb while
McGraw's men are in the throes of a
general slump.
The Yankee pitching staff is now
in excellent trim and the batters are
also in their hitting clothes. Jones,
Bush, Hoyt, Shawkey and Mays are all
in good condition and ready to pitch
a good game.
On the other hand the Giant hurting
crew are few and incapable at pres
emit. Winifred, Ryan and McQuillan
are the only two who are not suffering
with weak arms and other ailments.
However one thing must be remem-
bered and that is the poor defensive
work of the Yankee outfield. Babe
Ruth, Bob Meusel and Whitley Witt
are all good batsmen but neither is a
Cobb or Speaker in the field and many
games have been lost this season by a
muffed fly in the Yankee outfie1d.
