penditure of a small amount of capital, and reap large part or the profit. Both the canning ana the vinegar factories are also of value to the farmer, however as they furnish him a ready market for his second grade apples which do not demand high prices on the green fruit market. Aside from their value to the growers, these inducements are of great importance to the communities in which they are located. They give employment to hundreds ol people during the season. They pay out thousands of dollars in wages, and as they are in the main home enterprises, the money which their products bring upon the markets of the world IS large ly kept at home.

ROMANCE OF GREAT SINGER.
From the Railway Platform to the
 Opera House.

M. Jean Note, the famous barytone of the Paris opera house, and who has sung more often on the stage of the Paris opera than any other living singer, left Paris the other day to be present at the fetes which were held recently, in his native town of Tour nay, in Belgium, in honor of the great artists jubilee.
 M. Jean Notes career has been a singularly romantic one. He was born at Tournay, and began life there as a weaver in a cloth factory. He was noted for his fine voice among his fel- low workmen. He left the factory to become railway porter at the Tour nay station, and soon became signal man.
 At the age of 21 he became a con script in the Belgian army, and 1t was while undergoing his military service that his officers took an interest in him. and subscribed purse to send him to the Conservatoire of Music at Ghent.
 Here he worked hard, and succeed. ed in obtaining the first prize for singing. He made his debut in 'Lucie de Lammermoor," at the Lille thea ter in 1885, He was then engaged for two years at the Antwerp theater, and for three years at Lyons, after which he went straight to the Paris opera, which he has never left since.
 While an opera singer in Paris M. Note greatly distinguished himself by an act of daring and cool-headedness which saved an express train from total wreck On September 27, 1897, M Note was standing on the platform of the Paris suburban station of Colombes, when 1t was seen to the horror of the numerous passengers waiting in the station that a train of Is vans loaded with dynamite had shunted out on the main line on which the Cherbourg Express was due at that moment.
 The stationmaster and porters lost their heads. Note, recollecting that he had been a signalman. lost not a moment. He ran to the levers, pulled them back. and sent the dynamite wagons on to a siding just as the ex- press came hustling past. For this. NJ Note received high distinction from the French accommodations don Mail.

Polk county may we'll be proud of the showing made at the Ar kansas State Fair at Hot Springs as indicated by the above premi- ums won in competition with the whole state of Arkansas. This is particularly true of the award for the best collection of apples.
 Polk county is not popularly chased as in the great apple belt" of the greatest apple state in the United States Arkansas but if it's people but take hold of the industry with the intelligence shown by few of those who are now devoting their attention to this branch of horticulture, good old Polk county may, from indi- cations, soon be in an apple belt" all its own and known as THE apple county of Arkansas.
 The apples receiving the first premium at the Arkansas State Fair were donated to the Mena Park Fair Association by the growers at the close of the fair held here August 19, 20 and 2l, and were forwarded to Hot Springs more as an exhibition of what the county could do than with the idea of winning premi- ums. The grower who won the first premium for the best apple display at the fair in Mena was N. F. Bales of Rocky, the second premium for best display going

JOHN P. HALE DEAD
Life Closed by an Unexpected Attack of Heart Failure Remains Taken
 to Iowa.

John P. Hale, we'll known and highly respected citizen of this city, was taken suddenly ill Friday evening and death came at 2:30 o'clock Saturday morning at his home on Stilwell Heigh hts. As the news of his death spread over the city at an early hour Saturday morning it created great surprise and sorrow.
 Mir. Hale, though not robust man physically, has been in fair ly good health and was engaged in his trade as carpenter and fancy wood worker. Friday afternoon be was taken suddenly i'll with an attack of asthma, which was followed by three attacks of the heart, the third bringing instant death.
 Funeral services were held at the family residence at o'clock that afternoon, conducted by the Rev. ]. l.. Green. The remains, accompanied by Mrs, Hale and Winthrop Clark, were taken to Independence, Ia., Saturday af- ternoon for burial.
 Independence IS the old home of Mir. and Mrs. Hale. Mir. Hale's mother and father are buried there, and a sister of his and brother of Mrs. Hale live there now.
 Their only child, son, lives in Oregon and has been wired to meet his mother at Independence.
 Mir.

Chicago. Oct. 26.-Friday's sessions of the National Civic Federation were given over to five minute talks oy business men who dlscuscsed the varl- ous topics introduced by the various speakers during the last three days The committee on resolutions pre- sented it's report as follows:
 After 20 years of federal legisiar ton, as interpreted by the court, di rected against tle evils of trusts and combinations and against railroad re- bates. beginning with the interstate commerce act of 1887 and the anu trust act of 1890, a general and just conviction exists that the experience gained in enforcing these federal acts and others succeeding them, demon strates the necessity of legislation which shall render more secure the benefits already gained and better meet the changed conditions which have arisen during long period or active progress, both in the enforce ment of statute law and in the re- moval of grave abuses in the manage ment of railroads and corporations. These changes now demanded are:
 First-Immediate legislation is re- quired, following the recommendation of President Roosevelt and the inter state commerce commission, permit ting agreements between railroad cor porations on reasonable freight and passenger rates, subject in all respects to the approval, supervision, and ac- tion of the interstate commerce com mission.
 Second-The enforcement of the Sherman act and the proceedings un- der it during the administration of Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, Me Kinley and Roosevelt, have accomp- lished great national results In awak- ening the moral sense of the American people and in asserting the supremacy and majesty of the law, thus effectual- ly refuting the impr ession that great wealth and large corporations were too powerful for the impartial execu- tion of law This great advance has rendered more secure all property rights, resting, as they must, under popular government, on universal re- spect for and obedience to the law. But now that this work is accomp- lished 1t has revealed the necessity for legislation which shall maintain all that the Sherman act was intended to secure and safeguard interests it was never expected to affect
 As the next step in executing the determination of the American people to secure in all industrial and com mercial relations, justice and equality of opportunity for all. with full sym pathy and loyal support for every ef. fort to enforce the laws in the past, we urge upon congress without delay to pass legislation providing for non partisan commission, in which the ip- terests of capital, of labor, and of the general public shall be respected.

to Ira Clifford ot Mena. It is probable that the best of all ex' hibits shown at Mena were select ed as the display that won the first premium at the state fair.
 The Mena Park Fair Associ- ation also won the blue ribbon for the best pears with the La coufe variety. Dr. w. F. Mills of Mena won first prize here for the best display of pears and Mrs. c. Beaton, also of Mena, for best plate shown.
 Ernest Saunders and N. F. Bales won the premiums for beets at the Mena fair, and 1t was evidently their exhibits which were sent to the state fair.
 w. s. Gatlin secured the pre- mium for the best broom corn shown at the Mena fair, and 1t was probably his exhibit which won the same houor at the state fair.
 The Star is unable to indicate at this time who furnished the  squash that won the first honors at the big fair.
 In this connection it is only fair to remark that the exhibitors at the Mena fair had less than two weeks in which to prepare their exhibits, thus being pre- vented from making any special effort to perfect same by unusual care or attention.
