Progress Of the Battleshlp Contest.

Washington, Mar 14.-The latest
monthly report of the progress OF ma
val construction by Chief Naval Con-
structor Capps shows that the battle
ship Louisiana, being built by the
NewNrt News Shipbuilding company,
has made a substantial gain over her
sister ship, the Connecticut, being
built at the navy yard New York. AT
the end Of January the rate of prog
ress of the two ships was: Louisiana,
1924 per cent completed; Connecti-
cut. 95 tB per cent completed. At the
end of February the Louisiana was
97.19 per cent completed and the Con-
necticut was 96.13 completed, being
more than one full point behind, The
Louisiana advanced nearly two full
points during the past month, while
the Connecticut made less than one
points progress.
Notwithstanding the temporary lead
OF the private-built ship. naval Off
cials still feel confident of the ulti-
mate success in the race of the gov
ernment built ship.

Lessons ie sprayius.

The United States department of agriculture IS conducting spraying demonstrations and ex- perimeuts in the orchards of w. H. Gipple and Captain George T. Lincoln near B-ntonville, Ark. This work is intended to show the fruit growers how apple scab, coddling moth, bitter rot and the Phillostica fruit spot may be controlled by application of the Bordeaux mixture. The work was begun in early spring, cer- tain blocks of trees being sprayed whild others were left unsprayed for comparison. The difference between the sprayed and unspray- ed trees in both orchards is very striking. -Siloam Springs Re- publican.

To the Voters of Polk County.

am a candidate for the office of treasurer of Polk county, subject to the will of the voters at the general election in September, and earnest ly solicit the support and influence of every voter in the county.
 have but one promise to make in return for your support, and that IS, if am elected to the important office, I shall devote my entire time and best efforts to make the best county treasurer Polk county has ever had.
 As to who I am, will say that l have been resident of Polk county for the past seven years, and have formed intimate acquaintance with many people, but there are many persons in the county who do not know me, and I know of no better way for them to find me out than to r refer them to those who know me best. My home is Mena, but l lived four years at Rich Mountain, where I taught the public school two years in succession, and served the people as postmaster and merchant the re- maining time.
 As to my politics, 1 have to say, that for all county offices 1 have all ways voted for the man 1 thought to be the best qualified for the office, and most worthy of my support, re- gardless of what his political belief may have been; therefore I feel free to come before the good people of this county and say, do not vote for me as a Democrat, as a Republican, as Populist, as Socialist, or as a Prohibitionist, but simply as man. And, now, fellow-citizens, the time has surely come that we should be very careful and not vote for man simply because his political belief is like our own. long to see the time come that all our officers will be elected as in the days of Washington
 elected because they are compe- nt-elected because they are worthy elected because they have our county at heart.
 If you feel that you can vote for me regardless of what your or my political following may be, I will certainly appreciate it, and take this opportunity to thank you. Respect fully, J. M. Raby.

Which Has Proven Best?

Editor Star: =
 Four years ago majority ol the voters of Polk county were cast against liquor license. Two years ago a majority oi SIS of the electors of this county voted s.for license" This change in the sentiment of so many of the people was demonstration that they were tired of the con- ditions under mo license" and believed that 1t would be better to have licensed saloons. Now as this question is again to be submitted to the people it IS in or der tc compare conditions as they were under mo license" with what they have been under ''license. It IS unnecessary to mention the social turmoil and
 
 confusion that existed, especially here in Mena, during the two years following the victory of the Iprohibitionists at the election in 1902. The conditions today cer- tainly are more satisfactory to  those who desire peace and har- mony among the people. Then there were almost daily trials in the courts and frequent street brawls and fights. Now every thing is quiet, peaceful and order ly, and everybody working for the upbuilding of Polk county and Mena.
 Then, the spare time of num- Der of our best people was spent iu a commendable effort to prose : cute alleged violators of the law. There was very little time for building church houses and schools. We have had twenty months of licensed saloons and during this time several new churches have been built and plans made for others. The Presbyterians have just com. pleted their beautiful church at cost of more than 5000. The M. E. church, South, have the plan ready for the construction of Sl2,OOO building. The Mis- sionary Baptists have the founda- tiou started for $l0, GOO church. The Episcopalians have purchas- ed another lot and are preparing U build fine brick edi6ce.
 This is an answer to the argu- ment that a community cannot progress along Christian lines where saloons are operated.
 The tax assessment has not been totaled for this year, but figures for other years show the com parison.
 The total assessed value of the property of Polk county for the year 1903 was S2, 407, 3sO; for 1904 1t was $2,573,6l3, an increase in twelve months of Sl66,233. This was period of mo license"
 The total assessed value for 1905 was $3, 433,142, an increase it twelve months of 1859, 529, ten months of this twelve were after a majority had voted for license. The increase was $693, 296 more uuder license than under no license.
 The value of the property in the city of Mena, under license increased in twelve month e3l1,- 530, under no license it decreased S7,4l4 in twelve months.
 If figures and facts speak the truth, the people who thought it would be better to vote for license have been viudicatcd from every standpoint, socially, religiously and commercially. K. Y.Z.
