amendment of the bill to meet the
objections Of the Democrats and
progressive Republicans. 1t is the
opinion Of Democratic Senator's that
rather than eliminate the provisions
which they regard as obnoxious. the
President will allow the bill to be
pigconhoied,
withstanding the optimism
which certain advocates OF the bill
express regarding its ultimate pass
age by Congress in substantially its
present form. it is known that The
Republican hackers of the measure
foresee its rejection unless it is
practically rewritten. A fiibuster

HON. w. A. HODGES
Candidate for Congress from the Second Dist,

Quotations from w. A. Oldfield, our present Congressman. On Septem- Der IS, 1921, the Arkansas Gazette quotes Mr. Oldfield as saying: "The railroad situation is serious and some thing will have to be done about it soon." This was about six monts after MT. Harding had taken his seat as President.
 On May 10, 1922, in his speech on the Liberian Loan, MT. Oldfield said: "The farmers are broke; the small business men are broke; the 5,000,000 men out of employment are broke; 1 ,0O0,000 ex-service men out of em- ployment are broke" This was lit tie more than one year after the change in administrations. Mir. Oldfield has been in Congress nearly 14 years, and from March 4, 1913, to March 4, 1921, were Demo- cratic Administrations.

MANY TEXTILE MILLS
 BUILDING IN SOUTH

'Within the last thirty days, re- ports Cotton" one of 1he leading textile journals, there have been an- nounced the buildingof two new mills in the south to cost over $1,000,000 each; the building of another mil to cost $5OO,0O0; the selling of mill in the New England section at over $2000,O00 and the r5pc.t that this money will be spent in the South and the moving of 30,000 sp-ndles from a Northern to q Southern mill.
 "The textile industry" continues this publication, "is Americas ssee-d d largest s.ngle industry and leads all other industries in the country in the amount of motive power used. Of the textile mile the cotton mills are the largest users of motive power. At the presnt time ever two thirds of the mills in the Southern states are op- erated by electric drive and many of the older mills are changing ever to electric power.
 With the difficulties that have been experienced in the East and North in textile manufacturing, it is a known fact that at the present time goods can be manufacured in the South and sold at profit on the New York market cheaper than the New Eng land mills can manufacture the goods even 1T sold without 6 profit.
 Statistics disclose the fact that during the past , years " ger cent of all new cotton mills of the country have been located in the South.
 It can readily be seen from a glance at these figures that Arkansas with dependable hydro electric power is destined to become one of the great est textile centers in the South. For no only does Arkansas possess all the favorable advantages that have been factors in locating industries in oth- CT parts of the South, but Arkansas with her great cotton crop and unlim- ited supply of native American labor goes step farther in offering induce mcnts to cotton and textile nils.

ious condition of the railroads and the serious financial condition of which Mr. Oldfield speaks come on before or after March 4, 1921 ?" No time for playing politics. We want the truth.
 If Mr. Oldfield during his fourteen years as Congressman, has helped to break the farmers and small business men, thenisnt he helping to build up great fortunes for the Big Trusts, Corporations and Wall Street. He must be working for one side or the other.
 Mir. Oldfield poses as the whip of the Democratic party and is a mem Der of the Ways and Means Commit tee. As a leader why has he let our country get in such a serious condi- tion? If this be true, wouldn't it be a good idea to turn out these Old Stand Patters and Calamity Howlers and put in some progressive business men?
 MT. Voter, it is up to you to make the change on the 8th day of August, 1922.
 Yours for better times,
 w. A. HODGES.

BAL KNOB ASSOCIATION
 WINS DAMAGE SUIT

The long drawn out suit of the two Bald Knob strawberry associations against the American Express Com pany for damage caused in handling the strawberry crop of 1920 was brought to a decision in the present term of the. White Circuit Court by a jury assessing $1,000 6amagea lB favor of each association.
 The case was first started in the Federal Court where 1t was non-su.t- ed in April, 1921. The two McRae associations were parties to the suit which at dlat time claimed some thing over $80,000 due the four asso- ciations by failure of the express com pa ny to furnish cars as ordered, es- timated damage being $1.50 per case as loss in having to ship by freight.
 In the course of time the McRae associations failed in some technical manner to keep up with the require rents of law and were denied iudg- nent by the jury.
 While the actual money recovered does rot mean anything to any one, the precendent established will mean that all of the White county straw berry district will receive better ex- press car service hereafter.

 There has b.aa laueh discussion a. mong the berry growers regarding tie change proposed by the Farm Bureau.
 Many who were at McRae agreed with the plan as outlined by the var Us speakers ,he9e, but a close s,udy C. the binding contract to be offerca tic grove eaiis t3 show that any DC b1. t..o G.owes E to be bou@d to do 3 ycch :g.
 The eXpcced b-ncf:ts are not shown so as the average grower can locate them readily. There are no provisions for any betterment in selling condi- tions.
 Many of the prominent growers in this section and the heads of associa- tions are opposed to the idea.
 J. A. Adkins and J. w. Coombe of Bald Knob, A. '. Kittler and Will Leasure of Judsonia, Bing Moody Of the Bradford association and E. E. Patterson of the Russell association see this proposition in thesame light, as binding the growers to deliver his strawberries for five years without any assurance that the marketing end wll be improved.
 The strawberry crop of White county is the biggest factor in it's prosperity and all know that it is ytally essential that better methods of reaching the consumer with qual- ity product needs to be worked out.

The Glenwood post., 1922-06-22

This means that the eommission
has total of nineteen countries to
deal with in this matter. Everybody
knows that practically every one Of
these countries is unable to pay either
the principal or interest on its debts
at this time or even in the immediate
future. For this reason the plan is to
refund the debts by having the coun-
tries issue bonds to the United States.
These bonds, as provided by the law
creating the commission, shall carry
rate Of interest not lower than ~
per cent and they must mature not
later than June Is, 1947. AS soon as
this refunding plan has been worked
out and is in operation, the law pro-
vides that the commission shall have
no further control in the matter.
CATER these bonds have been issued
they may be sold or held by the Unit
ed States government. This will be
determined later, so that whatever is
best for the United States can be done.
OF course, after while, when the
commission has gone deeper into
study of these countries and their
debts, more laws may be necessary,
and many changes may have to be
made in the present plans. But the
main point is that President Harding
and his able advisors are going care
fully into this important matter 80
that the very best can be done for
the United States.
''The commission has already invit-
ed negotiations with all the debtor ma
tions and before long we hope to see
the entire debt adjusted so that II can
be paid with as little trouble as pos
sible considering the hugo amounts
due and the condition Of many Of the
debtors.'

Rabbit Refused to Die.

A New Brunswick man was setting
up a portable saw mill in July, 1918,
He noticed lot of small rabbits run
ming about the logs every day. One
day he observed a very tiny fellow
nearly dead. He picked 1t up, found 4.
covered with blue ticks and that 1t had
one of its pays crushed. Some one
must have trampled on it. He picked
the ticks nll off and amputated the
little paw as well as he knew how,
Not being very skillful in that line be
had little hopes of 1t being success
full operation. After cutting small! V
out of the extreme tip Of its ear he
put IL down In a little clover patch
thinking it would die; but every day
1t gradually improved until at the end
of two months 1t disappeared. This
winter while cutting wood mile from
where he found the rabbit, he noticed
tracks In the snow. Another man set
some wire snares and caught the rab-
bit that had had its foot amputated
It was quite dead when found, but had
grown to good size.

Mare Knew Where to Go When Sick.
An Ontario reader of the Montreal
Family Herald writes that he was tax
ing care of roam mare that had be
longed n year previous to another
farmer three miles away. The animal
took sick with the collie The third
morning he went to see how the mare
was, and found sac had gone. She had
been tied in her stall. which she broke
down; the door was also broken. The
next day, the correspondent says, he
found the animal had gone back to the
farm three miles away and had
jumped two gates to reach the stable
door, where she dropped dead.
