SPRING VALLEY BUR-
 EAU ELECTS OFFICERS

A very enthusiastic meeting of the Spring Valley Farm Bureau was held at the Spring Valley School house Sunday, November 1e. The attend ance was unusually large and all took keen interest in the meeting. AH members expressed themselves as we'll pleased with the work that the Farm Bureau has been doing and with the results which have been attained 1n both state and county. It was unan- imously agreed that the bureau de- served credit for keeping the potato price from dropping to the ruinous level now prevailing over practically all the balance of the nation A dol lar and twenty cents is not enough to make potato raising pay but it is not ruinous. The forty-fve and fifty cents which Colorado, Minnesota, Ohio Idaho and other raisers are getting are positively ruinous.
 The chief business before the meet | ing was the election of officers for the ensuing year. The following per sons were chosen to care for the af- fairs of the Spring Valley Bureau for | the next year:
 President, Jack O'Rrien, reelected
 Secretary, Robert Curry
 Delegate to County Farm Bureau, c. D. Sanderson
 Alternate delegate, Dennis O'Brien The Spring Valley Bureau now has a membership which includes nearly seyenty-five per cent of the farmers in the Valley. It is rapidly gaining IF strength and the enthusiasm of older
 members continues to mount.

 Just Tony
 One of the very best pictures the writer has ever seen was gwen last Saturday night at the Sultana thea ire. "Just Tony" is the story Of beautiful wild mustang who IS won over by the love and kindness of cowboy, which part is taken by Tom Mix.
 The acting of Tony, the horse is as appealing as that of Strongheart m "The Silent Call" He runs the whole gamut of emotions from fierce hate and revenge to undying affec- ton and loyalty. The fine shades of expression in the acting of that horse are truly amazing and withal, he IS of a most noble and striking equine beauty We can only hope that Tom Mix will give Tony another chance to COD most of the honors.

TWO MORE ARRESTS IN
 KHAN WAR
F orm CT Officials of Warehouse Parish Be- hind Prison Bars, Sus- pected of Murder and Kidnapping of Rich ards and Daniels State May Ask Change of Venue for Trials.

Baltimore, Dec. 27-(By The A.
 PA writ of SlabeaS corpus
 for Dr. B. NJ. McKoin. former
 mayor of Mer Rouge, La, arrest
 ed here yesterday on a charge of
 murder, was obtained today
 The writ, which was issued by
 Chief Judge James P. GOrter
 in the City Court, was made re-
 turnable immediately.
 Extra dition papers will be forward ed from Louisiana to Baltimore for Dr. McKoin, a telegram from Cover nor Parker stated today.
 The despatch sent to the Police de- partment said:
 Hold Dr. McKoin for extraditfon. Papers will be forwarded. Thanks"
 Accordingly papers were prepared hearing in Police court asking that he be held for ten days.
 pr. Hugh H. Young, head Of the Brady institute at Johns Hopkins worked, conferred with the former mayor for more than an hour this morning.
 Two More Louisiana Arrests. s.)-wdth two former officials of Morehouse Parish behind prison bars in connection with the kidnapping and murder of Tom Richards and this section were waiting sto1idly to- day for the axe to fall again. Depart ment of . Justice agents who for months worked to uncover the evil dence upon which the state of Louis jana will seek to convict men for murder have promised GSsat nearly a score of men eventually will answer for the crime they uncovered in the waters of Lake La Fourche.
 The two men already locked up are T. J. Burnett, a former deputy sheriff and a man of high standing in the neighborhood of Speaker, where he lives, and Dr. B. M. McKoin, form CT Mayor of Mer Rouge, who was arrested in Baltimore. Other arrests are momentarily expected.
 Rumors to the effect that a change of venue might be asked by the state when the public hearing is held at Bastrop, county seat, on January fifth were not given much credence here. The laws of Louisiana on this question provide changes of venue may be made where prejudice may be shown, but only to adjoining parishes, and this, in this case, would be useless, according to authorities. The coming of Adjutant General ToombS, com mander of the states guardsmcn. and Attorney General Coco's decision to return meant to townspeople today that other arrests are quite imminent and they prepared to witness impris- onment of the last of the suspects, although one of them is said to have removed to Texas.
