Leachville Organizes
Chamber of Commerce

Leachville, June 22.-At a mass
meeting of the business men and
farmers of this section there was
organized Tuesday night a chamber
of commerce. The following officers
were elected: John Hancock, presi-
dent; Professor M. D. Reed. secre-
tary; j. T. Roderick. treasurer;
and E. H. Taber. B. S. Cornwell and
Fl. C. Iiartsfield as directors.
Several interesting subjects were
discussed. 1t was the opinion of all
that Leachville should demand a
cotton market right here that could
offer as much as buyers in Blythe
Vile. All cotton shipped to the com
press in Blytheville over the Frisco
railroad would be without cost.
Station Agent d. l.. Hargroves stat
ed that the railroad company made
it their policy to refund all freight
charges on cotton when handled by
them if cotton is shipped to the
compress and thence to the markets
by their road This will mem a
saving of about three dollars on each
bale of cotton shipped.

lowing Republican officials

it is not reported that he gave
anything): Secretary Mellon. Sec

Daugherty and Senator DUPONT of
the Powder Trust family and New

OF those present William Wrigley
of Chicego who is reported to have
given $25,000 just to start the
thing, has already received substan-
tial benefits by the taking of the
tax off chicle from which chew
ing gum is made, and Mr.. Patter-
son has been benefited by taking
cash registers off the free list and
putting a 25 per cent tax on them.
The DuPonts have received incalcu-
able benefits in the chemical sched-
ule of the pending tariff bill.
The important decisions arrived
at were to take off the limit of
$1,000 on contributions alleged to
have been imposed by former Chair
man Hays, and to raise $500.00O for
educational purposes. which in the
opinion of many here would not
be enough to educate one orthodox
Republican, educational in this
respect, however, is merely a camou-
flaged term. The amount of money
to be raised for other purposes
was limited by the sky.
The reactionary leadership of the
Republican party, with nothing in
the record of the administration
to attract or hold voters. has ini-
tiated the campaign of 1922 by
adhering to the policy of Hanna
