Commissioner Hirshfield said the in
vestigation would take place soon at
the direction of the Mayor, whom he
characterized as "a champion Of per-
sonal liberty and firm believer that
a mans home Is his castle"
Commissioner Hirshfleld will attempt
to find where the seized liquor is. why
it was not returned. and why the
police receipt" calls for but 100 bottles
of liquor. when Mr.. Elvidge says that

remaining 224 bottles. 4

"This is to inform you that Mayor
Hylan has transmitted to ma your com
plant that on June % last the police
entered your home without a warrant
took away fine wines owned by you
since before prohibition days and ar
rested your wife. Not only as cham
pion of personal liberty. hut as firm
believer in that old principle that "a
mans home Is his CASTLE the Mayor
appreciates the seriousness of your
complaint. and. II he can do It., will
stop the violation Of the rights Of the
homes by the police which of late
seems to be encouraged by. no doubt
well meaning but misguided fanatics"
The liquor consisted of whisky. wines
brandy. gin and other imported liquors
for which Mr.. Elvidge had a permit
The day of the raid he was not at
home. When he returned and heard
that his wife had been arrested he went
TO court and produced his permit. Mrs

Magistrate II. Stanley Renaud. who or
dered the liquor returned.
Inspector Bolan. members Of his staff

they know about the raid. Mr.. Elvidge
has retained Frederick Sullivan OF 81
Chambers street to prepare a case
against the police for the raid. the
seizure of his stock and the arrest OF
Mrs Elvidge. At the West Tooth street
station. said the lawyer. the officers
in charge told him there were "only
100 bottles and don't know anything
more about It," The Elvidges could
take them or leave them. it was init

Washington. d. G., July II.
President Harding to-day dismissed
further efforts toward voluntary
settlement of the coal strike by Cow
ernment arbitration and served notice
on miners and operators that the pub
lie interest was paramount and pub
lie welfare AMI national security OF
moro Importance than their dispute.
THE NEW York HERALD is able to
state authoritatively that the Presi-
dent is prepared to put into full force
the plan evolved by the late Theodore
Roosevelt for Government operation
Of the coal mines in the national crisis
brought about by the anthracite strike
in the bitter winter of 1s01-02.
In halting the efforts toward settle
ment voluntarily by a Government
commission President Harding virtu-
ally served an ultimatum on the,
operators and workers alike. He in
vited the operators to return to their
properties and resume operation.
Warned OF Necessity.
The President warned both sides
that coal is national necessity, the
ample supply of which Is essential
likewise to common welfare and to
interstate commerce" The words
Interstate commerce are significant.
The falling coal supply creates an i'm
mediate menace to interstate COM
merce because some railroad trains
have been cancelled for lack Of coal.
The Federal Government has full con-
protection of Interstate commerce.
Consequently the President will not
have to wait until the public suffers
direct deprivation.
II ell other means fail there Is a
possibility that the projection OF
United States troops and the flag will
be provided particularly where men
are ready and willing to work. but are
unable to obtain protection from mine
owners or county officials.
Dismissal of the negotiations for vol.
untary settlement which have run for
ten days followed long series of meet.
ings and conferences to-day with Gov.
eminent officials by the operators and
by the miners. The Presidents an.
nouncement of futility of further effort
in this direction followed receipt of
the formal reply of bituminous opera
tors to his proposal for commission
settlement.

Tomorrow promises to be the day of days for Mena, for on that day we will present our claims for the great Western Methodist Assembly, and if they are found to be valid, our home town will have definitely started on the road to fame and fortune.
 For weeks some of our most promi- nent business men have worked night and day in preparing for this day. They have forgotten their personal af- fairs and have given their very best to the community Working with them and under their guidance scores have added their strength to the cause whenever called upon.
 The result is that Mena is ready. Every detail has been developed and put in form for presentation to the men who are to pass judgment, and no community of like size and wealth has gone further than Mena in pro viding the funds desired to carry on the fight and win the victory.
 In this 'day before the battle' Mena is confident in her strength, and is strong to do her all. She is not counting on defeat.
 All is set, all is ready. We have done our best in preparation.

ing to get better understanding as to how the growers of Polk county may work with those of Sevier in the selling of their products. Plants, seeds, fertilizers, etc, were discussed also.
 Mir. Wallace seems to be a very conservative man, but thru some fel- low who was present we got a story of the production of radishes that we were all ready to tell when we re. turned. He planted one-fourth of ar acre, sold 36 barrels at BIO barrel
 shall not try to speak for the crowd in telling of opinions formed from the visit, and the possibilities of truck and berry growing in Polk county, but l believe they will in gen. eral agree with me. Our land is fully as good as theirs, but we are neces- sarily a few days later than they on account of climate. If the trucking business brings $3,000,000 to SevieI county bad year as last year there is no reason why it should not bring $1O,O00,000 to Polk county in a good year. This, of course, when there is a general business for the county.
 The careful farmer will look out for failures, especially on any par ticular crop. Trucking certainly should not be one-crop system in this climate. Instead of planting everything to cucumbers or to canta- loupes, good idea would be to plan, radishes, peas, cucumbers, canta- loupes, watermelons, tomatoes and at the same time have a few acres in well cared for orchards.
 l have written this as one inter. ested in farming. I believe there is a bright future just ahead of the Polk county farmer. It takes cooperation industry, business judgment, and common sense.

Beautiful State of Arkanssw, Land of my early dreams, Land of stately wooded heights; And crystal mountain streams. Your lovely vales, your woudrou'
 cline Have spread afar your name; And people come for rest and home Attracted by your fame. I love to wander in your wales. Your pines so straight and tall. They speak of God, whose brooding
 love Is ever OCT us all. The fertile soil, the various crops, We see in every field; Almost it seems that everything Will give nlenteous yield. This is the place where berries grow, And reach the perfect state; Where the Elberta peach is king, And melons grow so great. And the fame of the kindly Arkansaw
 folks Is known in all the States; The hand in welcome, the kindly deed To the stranger within our gates. There are beautiful gems in your
 rocky hills, Arkansaw, we are told; There's latent power in your tun-
 bling rills That can turn those rocks to gold. Arkansas State, you must awake To the wonderful future that's yours, With churches and schools and hard
 surfaced roads, Your oil, gas and mineral stores. God has given you everything worth
 while,' And given with lavish hand. We are thankful and proud to live In Beautiful Arkansaw Land.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

If we'd all had chance to buy a ticket to be present at the beginning of the world there'd have been such rush some of us would have had to take back seats on the ocean. Just figure how you'd look on in wonder, the thrill you'd feel, the desire to plunge into the greatness of a land and explore it's possibilities. Imagine the compelling wish you'd feel to do something, to be part of the plan. Why not realize that new world opens every day at sunrise, that it's opportunities are there, just as virgin as they ever were, just as filled with the possibility of doing something worth while? What do you say if we get up bright and early next Monday morning, watch the sun come up an think hard: and then break away and go to work-harder Boy, the world will be worth millions more if we all do it.
