lem is to rearrange the counters so that
they count five on each side, a feat
which can apparently be accomplished
only by the addition or four more coun-

The trick is done thus: Remove four
Of the counters and arrange the re-

That is if checkers are used, make

Poe Found Guilty
And Is Censured

Little Rock, April 5.-The Eberts
post of Little Rock, American Le-
gion, closed its stormy session along
after midnight yesterday morning.
The cause of the row, as chroniclod
in dispatches was the trial of Tom
Poe, Well-knoWn Little Rock attOr-
ney and former acting commander
of the post, on charges Of circulat-
ing reports calculated to injure the
organization. After several hours
OF heated arguments on both sides
a vote was taken and resulted in
Che post finding Mr.. Poe guilty by
vote of 76 to 81. The next meet
ing of the post will decide as to
what disposition will be made of the
verdict. AS it requires a two-thirds
vote, it is not believed that a suffi-
cjent number Of votes can be mus
tered to suspend or eXpel Mr.. Poe.
A vote of censure will probably end
the row.

Washington, April 6.-The Anti
Saloon League of America, in the
opinion of Representative Tinkham,
Republican, of Massachusetts, has
violated the federal corrupt prac-
ticcs act governing elections, and
should be subjected to action by the
Department of Justice.
In a speech from the floor of the
House yesterday, Tinkham demanded
that the department investigate
charges he presented, and institute
proceedings against the league #
they were found to be true.
The charges made by Tinkham
were that the league had failed to
file with the clerk of the House of
Representatives data requested about
the receipt and disbursements of
funds to be used in political cam
paigns He made specific accusa-
lions against state organizations in
West Virginia. Maryland, Wisconsin,
Colorado, Oregon, Iowa, New York.
Pennsylvania and Minnesota, as well
IS the national organization.
Tinkham supported his charges
with EXCERPTS from literature of the
league, and with the testimony of
Wayne b. Wheeler, legislative super
intendent Of the league, before a
House committee. A pamphlet of
the Tennessee branch Of the league
was quoted to subatantiate the con-
tcntion that the league uses funds in
If the league and in subsidiaries to

The ordinary course, Tinkham
said, would be TO ask for COM

instead of asking for action by the
Department. of Justice
"The records disclose The failure
Of Congressional campaigns and ''ini-
tiatos legislation"
But it would be futile to ask the
appointment of such a committee to

Enasolvent, So Aid Is Needed.

not more than meet the taxes on

fighting with thGfr backs to the

ton at their Side.
The farmers must have relief
from the Unusual price levels. from
the o,VV,s33burdening railroad freight
Rates, from the speculation in his
products, from tight money markets
and from paralyzed rural credits.
TO this end the agriculture "bloc''
is pledged.
Danger of an agriculture monopoly
through cooperation is not seriously
considered. The cooperative mar
keting bill, recently passed by direc-
ton of the bloc. will do much
toward lessening the farmers bur
den. The agriculture credit bill,
credit for farmers, will aid him
through lessening tension in bank
ing circles where he does his bust
ness. This money, through the War
Finance Corporation, is to be used in
extending credits to farm loan or
foundations and farm banks.
-. Gives Farmer a Voice"
The recent enactment of legisla-
ton placing a dirt farmer on the
Federal Reserve Board will do much
to better the effects of this body
upon agriculture interests. 1t will
give the farmer a voice in the dis
tribution of financial relief by Fed
eral Reserve sources.
Three important duties still face
| the bloc These are:
1. Enactment of direct farm credit
Legislation, by which credit will be
extended direct to farmers by the
government.
2. Improvement of transportation
facilities for farmers and reduction
in freight rates on farm products
3. Extension of activities of farm
land banks.
The farm bloc" is non-partisan
in character. It's programme is prac-
tical and constructive. 1t does not
propose class legislation, but its
programme is intended for the good
of the country as a whole. It asks
square deal for the farmer and a

Little Rock, April Yesterday
Little Rock an unopposed Demo
cratic nominee for city office was
defeated in the municipal general
election by an independent candi-
ticket. E. L. Younger. Democratic
nominee and candidate for re-elec-
ton as alderman from the Fifth
ward, was defeated by Charles f..
Snodgrass, Missouri Pacific engi-
neer, who was defeated by Younger
for the nomination in the December
primary by majority of "a votes.
Snodgrass, whose name was written
terday, defeated Younger by a ma
jority of SIS. The vote was;
Younger, 462. Snodgrass. 1,04O.
That Alderman Younger's defeat
Ku Klux Khan was generally rumor-
ed last night. Younger was the
only Catholic on the ticket. Snod-
grass, who defeated him, is Prot
estant. An unconfirmed rumor last
night was to the effeet that two
meetings of the khan had been held
Monday night when instructions
were issued to scratch Younger and
vote for Snodgrass.
Supporters Are Too Late.
In the general election, all cleo
tors in the city may vote for candi-
dates for all nine of the aldermanic
positions to be filled although in
the primary, the voter can vote only
on the candidates for aldermen from
his own ward. Apparently the
movement against Mr.. Younger was
widespread throughout the city as
Snodgrass carried all wards except
the Ninth in which the vote was a
tie, As to 45
The vote was less than one-fifth
OF the normal citys vote. Under the
impression that none of the Demo
cratic candidates was opposed most
of the voters did not go to the polls
Late III the afternoon, the rumor
gained circulation that "the KuI
Klux was out to get Younger" and
the aldermans friends made a fran
tic effort to get his supporters to
the polls but they were too late.

The agriculture bloc" born of
the crying need for preservation of
the nations industrial backbone, has
taken up the farmers fight. This,
in brief, is the why and wherefore
.of the bloc"
It is a movement for the common
good, as farming supplies $22,000,-

which economists wisely urge to up

a question whether agriculture shall

remedy can be too drastic under
such circumstances.
