SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
DIR. COOKS DOWNFALL

We are inclined to feel, here al
the beginning of the new year. that
those citizens around Mountain
Home who are prone to listen to the
song of the fake stock salesman are
going to save some money in 1924.
We say this after study OF condi-
aus brought about by U. $. secret
~ men within the past two
months, and with the penitentiary
sentence on DR.. Frederick Cook In
mind.
DR.. Cook was one of the worlds
smoothest fakirs. He circulated his
story of discovering the North Pole
and had the world throwing bouquets
at his feet Exposure, however,
failed to discourage him, and he
turned up later in Texas to fleece
thousands of Woodworking citizens
out of their coin through the pro-
motion of fake oil wells. He drew
no line when it came to robbery
poor widows and decrepit old men
all looked alike to him. And then
Uncle Sam spread net, and caught
DR.. Cook as the biggest fish in al
disreputable puddle. No mercy was
shown him, and none should have
been. He goes to prison for at least
Ia years, and there is no wailing or
protest from the millions of his fell
lowmen.
This one case has done more to
discourage fake oil stock promoters
than anything the government has
ever done. 1t will mean money In
the pockets of thousands, because
they will keep it there now that fake
stock statesmen are afraid to reach
out their hands to grab it. OF course
fakirs of various other stripes will
come on to fleece the unwary. But it
is good to know that the most com
mon of all has been fairly we'll wiped
out for a Ing time to come. And 1t
may serve, too, to keep the others
from plying their nefarious opera
tons as openly as they have been ac-
eustomed to doing. Is

IT'S A MISTAKE

\ We occasionally encounter in our
rounds of Mountain Home and the
neighboring community the type of
man who believes that a newspaper
is eager to publish derogatory things,
or items about people that are sure
to embarrass or render those same
people unhappy This is a mistake,
and one we regret to call attention
to, because it is so unnecessary.
There isn't newspaper man in
this country but who could spring
a sensation in his community If he
wanted to, at any time, by merely
printing the things he knows. but
does not print. Deciding what not
to print is the most troublesome part
of editing a paper. How many news
items are suppressed for innocent re-
latives and for the public good no.
body outside Of newspaper office
has any idea of. In some instances

| the man who flies into passion be
cause newspaper prints something
about him which he considers un-
complimentary has every reason to
feel grateful to the editor for pub
fishing so little of what he knows

the loudest buffer Is the man who
is more guilty than the public gem
orally credits him with being. A
big noise is often device to cover
cowardice.
n wspapers put up with more
bluffing than any other agency. Not
because they lack the courage to
"call that bluff" but because their
editors are unwilling to use the pow

into the innocent hearts of the rel

ALABAMA FIGURES GIVEN 946, ,O0O Bale Forecast For State By
 GiSt

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. S. Especial. )-Alabama should produce 948,OO0 bales of cotton this year. This is indicated by the governments an- nouneement today. The crop is 61 per cent normal, according to statement issued by +. w. Gist, agricultural sta- tistician. The estimate is contingent on no further deterioration. The acre yield will be 142 pounds. Fifteen days ago the estimated production was 9S9,- GOO bales, thus indicating a loss of 41,- GOO bales during the last 15 days. Dry, hot weather is attributed as the cause for the deterioration.
 Mir. Gist's statement follows:
 The average condition for the state (61 per cent of normaD indicates at this time an acre yield of 142 pounds and q total crop of 948,000 bales, pro vided, of course, that no further de- terioration is discovered after this date. ''The condition figure compares with 70 15 days before and a total indicated crop of 9S9,000 bales, suggesting a loss in prospective production during the two weeks period of about 41,000 bales. This is loss due almost en- tirely to dry, hot weather. Rain fell on an average of little more than one day and to the average volume of 0.75

LEAGUE MAY CODfFY INTERNATIONAL LAW
Work Started At Geneva On
 World Arms Problem
(By Associated Press. ]

GENEVA, Sept. 8.-With business like directness the armament conference of the league began it's consideration of all questions and all material touching the mutual plan of guarantees and as- sistances between states and the gen. eral problem of disarmament. The commission decided at the outset that these two subjects could not be intelli- gently treated without also discussing obligatory arbitration.
 Hence compulsory arbitration which now is regarded as the main foundation stone of all the projects to outlaw war, becomes an integral part of the global discussion of disarmament, the final goal of which is the convocation of an international conference at Geneva for the reduction of armaments in all countries.
 A new .angle was given the debate today when the Swedish foreign minis ter, Baron Won Wurtemberg, introduced a resolution in the assembly concerning the qualification of international law, a subject which has long been of special interest to American jurists. In wide sense the Swedish suggestion supple ments the immediate program of the assembly of studying certain articles of the league covenant with view to re-drafting.
 The Swedish proposal recommends that all members of the league inform the council as to what subjects and topics of international law may be use fully examined with the object of their incorporation into international con- ventions to be concluded through the machinery of the League of Nations, and that invitations to forward sug- gestions should be addressed to all the world organizations devoting their ef- forts toward would peace. This nat urally includes American law associa- lions

inch. The temperatures were very high. The result was absolute cecessa- tion of growth and fruiting and the loss by shedding of practically all young squares and many young bolls. Also much premature opening was in evi- dence, which will result in loss of weight.
 Cotton is opening unusually fast and is being picked and ginned.
 1.-The weevil is still less than normal ly active, but most punctures are found in young bolls in the absence of squares for the weevil's purposes. Reports in- dicate only 5S per cent of the usual number of weevils present at this date.
 Slightly less number of bolls were reported safe on the first than on the previous date, indicate an actual loss of small proportion of mature bolls.
 Rain fell during the last two days of the period, and it will be interesting to observe it's effect if any.
 ."The indicated crop was worth at current prices about SIPS, ,00O,0 ,00O, com pared with $112,000,000 for the smaller crop of last year."

DENVER PRIEST
 TO SERVE TERM
 FOR FORGERY
Appeals Court Refuses Stay In Liquor With
 drawal Case

DENVER, Col, Sept S.-Rev. Wal ter A. Grace, priest and former pastor of the Shrine of St. Anne at Arvado, Colo, convicted of forgery of liquor withdrawal permits in June, 1923, must servie his prison sentnece of two years imposed by Judge J. Foster Symes, the circuit court of appeals ruled here today.
 Father Grace was granted 30 days time by the court in which to present himself to the United States marshall for delivery to the federal pententiary at Leavenworth, Kan, to stayt serving his sentence.
 Father Grace was convicted July %, 1923, after lengthy trial, of forgery, in connection with the wholesale with drawal of bonded liquor from govern ment warehouse. The specific com plaint was that he had obtained liquor on permits said to have been forged. in behalf of the Mullen home for the aged, in Denver. Subsequent investi- gations revealed that much of the li- quor thus obtained found it's way into channels other than those prescribed by the permits, according to the evil dence.
 Mrs. Katherine O'Conner, daughter of J. K. Mullen, Denver capitalist, in- dicted with Grace in connection with the same transactions, entered plea of guilty, following Graces convictions, to charges of illegal possession of li- quor and was fined $100.

BUFFALO SHOOTING
 NOT TO BE PROBED
Evidence Of Conspiracy Lack
 ing, Says District Attorney

BUFFALO, N. r., Sept. S.-No grand jury investigation will be held tn connection with the shooting fray, August 31, in which two men were killed and two others wounded, District Attorney Guy E. Moore announced to- day. Thomas H. Austin, reported Ku Klux Klan investigator and Edward c. Obertean, alleged police "under-cover" operator with membership in the klan, shot each other to death at point blank range.
 George c. Bryant, local klan organ tzer, and Carl w. Sturm, companion, were wounded, Bryant seriously.
 In an announcement made after ex- animation today of Lieut. Austin j.. Roche, Mayor Frank Schwab's private investigator, and Frank Obertean, brother of one of the slain men, Mir. Moore stated his investigation had de- veoped no evidence of conspiracy on the part of survivors of the battle to effect the death of either of the men, and had uncovered nothing in support of charges that Obertean had been de- tained or threatened by klan members.
