Farmers Organize Association
 at Sulphur Rock

J. B. Daniels, county dem onstration agent, held an en- thusiastic meeting at Sulphur Rock Thursday, which was largely attended by farmers of that community and at which a sweet potato assoei- ation was organized.

The Farmers Bank of Sulphur Rock volunteered to loan the association sufficient money to build the storage house.

Rae forces to charge that op- position comes from politici- ans. But one does not have to talk with many persons to be convinced that the opposition to the McRae policies and ac complishments comes from tax payers and voters generally, from one end of the state to the other. The false flag af anti politics under which the present administration has ben travelling, is easy to haul down, if one but stops and considers the number of politicians who have been appointed by Gov.
 McRae, from his private secre- tary to holders of minor jobs, or considers Gov. McRae's own record as an office holder. ,

HAS OLD LETTER
Nearly 83 Years Old, Still
 Easily Read

Mrs. Jewett Arnold of this place has in her possession a lteter written by her great great grandparents, MT. and Mrs. James Bradley, more than half a century ago.
 The letter was written and mailed at Rockport, Ark, March II, 1849, and was writ ten to MT. and Mrs. William Merriwether at Batesville.
 The letter is written on large double-sheet paper and is folded so as to require no envelope. The address is placed on the outside fold of the letter. It contains no stamp but show that five cents postage was paid in cash.
 The letter is nearly 83 years old, but is still in good state of preservation and can be easily read. The letter came to Mrs. Arnold as a family keepsake and is highly prized by her.

JUDGE TONEY ENTERS
 RACE FOR GOVERNOR
Raps McRae in Opening State. ment announcing His Can
 didacy

Little Rock, Feb. Judge E. P. Tone5, of Lake Village, today issued the following statement, announcing his can didacy for governor:
 Tn announcing my candida cy for governor, subject to the Democratic primary next Au- gust, 1 will oppose a man seek ing a second term. l am not one of those of the opinion, however, that an office holder, whetrer governor or justice of the peace, should have a sec ond term unless his record merits it, and unless the voters indorse his policies.
 While not announcing my platform ill detail, which will be unfolded when the eampa- ign opens, l will make the race on the grounds that Gov. Me Rae's administrator has been a failure and that his policies are diametrieally in conflict with the desires of a vast ma iority of the voters of Arkan- Sas.
 His domineering admin stration of affairs when he first took office soon caused the Legislature to turn from a strong McRae force to strict Iy anti-administration body. His policies for the most part were rejected by his former staunch supporters"
 From information 1 have been able to gather, and 1 have been in many sections of the state, there is such a sentiment against his announced plans, and his past acts, that the next Legislature will be even more strongly opposed to him. The lower branch of the 1921 Leg islature supported him, but l have been told by half a dozen of the former McRae leaders in the House that, in event they are returned, they will be unable to support his plans, and that they will endeaYor to repeal some laws that were en- acted by them at his request.

SCHOOL BOY KILLED
 BY HIS GLASSWARE
Quarrel Over Basket Ball Game Causes Killing on
 Campus at Harrisburg

Harrisburg, Feb. 7-An ar 9ument over a decision of the refree of a basket ball game on the Harrisburg public school grounds this afternoon resulted in the fatal stabbing Of James Grant Jr. by Ollie Crowell.
 Both boys were IA years old and were in the same class at school. They were members of we'll known families here.
 A coroner's jury empaneled by Coroner J. E. Mill conduct ed an inquest. Their verdict was to the effect that young Grant "came to his death by stab inflicted by Ollie Crowell, and the stabbing was unjusti- fiable."
 The youthful slayer was ar rested in as short time after the tragedy and was placed in jail.
 Two pracNce games of bas- ket ball were in progress, one for the older boys and one for the younger boys. Cant and Crowell were playing with the younger boys. The refree call ed a foul on Crowell, and he became angry. He started to curse the official, when Grant went to the referees assistance
 Dare you to touch me- Crowell is said to have told Grant.
 Immediately a struggle started. Other boys nearby thought Crowell and Grant were merely playing.
 Grant suddenly cried out that he was cut and sank to the ground. Before he could be removed to a near-by-resi- dence he was dead. The knife blade had penetrated the heart.
 Crowell left the school grounds immediately, but was soon apprehended. At the county jail he refused to dis cuss the tragedy.

SCHOOLS AND ROADS
Citizen Thinks Both Essential
 to Modern Progress

Editor Journal.-Two of the things pertaining to the better ment of our everyday life and the progress of civilization are the consolidation of rural schools and good roads. We discuss them in our homes, and when we meet our neighbor the same subjects meet us face to face.
 We know how our state ranks with the other states, but do we know how Inde- pendence county ranks in our state, or how our township ranks in Independence county?
 Here in the eastern part of the county, the schools are doing very satisfactory work this winter, and the roads are in fair condition.
 I.C. Nuckolls, the road over seer of Black River township, is cooperating with the citi- zens, and by the approval and encouragement of the county judge, is doing some work that is invaluable to the township and to the county.
 A man once tried to move a moving machine by hand from a shade tree to a barn; and the machine was too heavy. One boy came and pushed, and still the machine was too heavy; but when two boys came and pushed, the machine moved along easily.
 So it is when we try to do a thing--If enough will get be- hind and push, the thing will move along easily.
 In a home there is a large calendar, and so many speak of it as such a fine calendar i; because it is so big and plain
 Now this is what we want in our public officials-we want them to be big and plain.
 The embodiment of our citizenship rests upon honesty and truthfulness. Our country glories in the energy and hero ism of Roosevelt; in the wis dom and patriotism of Wilson and the sympathy and honesty of Harding.

DO YOU BLAME HIM?
What Else Could The Poor
 Fellow Do?

The following story was given The Journal by a prom inent citizen who vouches for it's truthfulness.
 This Prominent Newark ci- tizen was visiting the Insane Asylum one day and met a patient with whom he got into a conversation. Being impress ed with the fellows manners, the citizen asked the patient why he was in the asylum. here is what he says the luna tic told him:
 Well sir, you see I married a widow who had grown daughter. My father, who was a Widower came along and married this step-daughter of mine, and that made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and my father became my step-son. Then my step-mother, the daughter of my wife, had a son, and that boy was, of course, my brother because he was the son of my father. But he was also the son of my wifes daughter and therefore her grandson, and that made me the grandfather of my father. Then my wife had a son, and besides being my mother-in-laW, she was also the. step-sister of my son, and is also his grandmother, be- cause he is her step-son's child. My father is the father-in-law of my son, because his step-sis- ter is his wife. am the brother of my own son, who is also the son of my step-grandmother. 1 am my mothers brother-in- law and my wife is her own child's aunt. My son is my fathers nephew, and I am my own grandfather. That is why 1 am here, sir"

Burglars entered the store of H. w. Parks & Go. at Sul- phur Rock Saturday night, and carried off goods valued at be- tween $450 and $500.

TAXES ARE TOO HIGH

The paying of taxes this spring
will make a lot of fellows sit up
and take notice in this county, as
well as most of the other counties
over the state. The tax question is
getting to be a serious proposition.
The tax receipts call for a great
deal more money than they ever did
beforehand the question is asked, ;,
why? The building of new school
and more contemplated paving will
boost the taxes another good stiff
notch. The Knoxville, Iowa Journal
says that: a;
Everybody agrees that taxes are
too high. Why not call all the tax
ing boards together and get them to-
agree to make 10 per cent reduc-
ton in the next tax levy? That is
definite thing that could be done.
The various officials who are charged
with the responsibility of making tax
Lewis could act as we'll as talk on
the subject. General Grant said
about the resumption of specie pay
ments: The way to resume is to

lower taxes. Lower them. There is
not a single taxing body in the
county that could not make a 10 per
cent reduction and still continue to
function. The school boards can get
along with less than they are spend
ing; the township trustees and city
councils could get by with less; the
board of supervisors could cut their
expenditures, if necessity drove them.
The Journal is convinced that such
reductions all along the line are

OELWEIN is AFTER FAYEFTE
CAPITAL
Wants County Seat and a New
Court House.

Oelwein, Iowa-An age-old con-
troversy was given a new lease of
life here as the Fayette county SUI
pervisors met TO form plans for the
building of a new courthouse to re-
place the one at West Union which
was destroyed by fire last Sunday.
The supervisors contracted with j.
G. Ralston, Waterloo architect, to
proceed with plans for a new build
ing which it is estimated will cost
from $250,OOO to 100000 when
completed.
A delegation of Oelwein business
men met with the members of the
county board at West Union. The
delegation represented themselves as
expressing the wish of Is per cent
of the voters of Fayette county that
the new court house be erected at
Oelwein instead of on the present
site at West Union.
A referendum is likely.
Opposition to removal will be bas-
ed upon the argument that the site
at West Union is already prepared
to receive the new building; that the
county Jail and sheriff's residence is
already established upon this site
and in case the institution is taken
from that place, this site will revert
back to the original owner, such a
provision now being alleged to be
provided for in the deed. They Will
also argue that Oelwein has no suit
able tract to offer.

Davenport, Iowa-An 800 pound
safe containing between $500 and
$500 in currency and a number of
valuable papers, including notes, in
surance policies, deeds and abstracts,
stolen from Burke Brothers pool
room in Bettendof, was discovered
lying in a corn field on, the Edward
Freund farm, a mile north of the
city limits on the Middle road. The
currency had been removed but the
papers, including number of
checks, were intact. Sledges and
chissels had been used to pry open
the doors, after the safe burglars had
first demolished the combination dial.

able to learn there is no one who
witnessed the theft or the subse-
quent rifing of the strong box.
