FARM AND GARDEN.

Good water and plenty of it will almost insure healthy poultry.
 Study crop rotation. It will work wonders Tn keeping up your soil.
 A scrub rooster is the worst enc my in a poultry yard. Make meat of him.
 It is we'll to remember that there IS almost always sale for a good mule.
 Scrub seed, like scrub stock. is expensive at any price. Try and get the best.
 If you have young fruit trees this IS about time to take steps to pro. tect them from rabbits.
 Poultry roosting in a good clean house the year around will do much better than to r0ost outside.
 Crops are now harvested. And if you would do best, now is the time to plow for the spring crops.
 Don't frighten your poultry: it is much more convenient and better for the poultry 10 have it gentle.
 When you raj Sc poultry, why not select pure bred stock and stick to 1t. They are no more trouble and are more profitable.
 Potash is one of the most impor- tant fertilizers for bearing fruit trees. All wood ashes should he saved for this purpose.
 There is one industry that seems to be generally overlooked in this section raising goats. The Star would like to hear from farmers who have tried it. The brush coun. try hereabouts should be excellent for that industry.

FELL NINE STORIES.
Younger Son of Henry Wstterson Meets Tragic Death in New York.

New York, Nov. 13.-Harvey W Watterson, lawyer and younger son of Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, plunged to his death from the nineteenth floor Of his office building at 37 Wall street late Wednesday afternoon. His body shot downward for 110 feet and land ed on the roof of ten-story building adjoining. Almost every bone was broken and the head crushed and death was practically instantaneous.
 While there were no eye witnesses to the tragedy, evidently it was en- tirely accidental. MT. Watterson's hat and coat were on his closed desk. Pre- sulnably he had attempted to lower the window, and either stumbling over the radiator, which was in front of the low sill, or losing his footing in some matter unknown. pitched forward and down to death on the roof below
 Mir. Watterson was 30 years old and married. He was junior member of the law firm of Wing. Russell and Watterson.

------- A MISTAKE SOMEWHERE

The News-Democrat. in it's usual cheerful and off-hand manner speaks of the editor of The Star as a candi- date for the office of postmaster of Mena. There are some little hitches in the story, however. The editor of the The Star is not an applicant for the place, has no right under the usual custom to be an applicant, and, even more to the point, prob ably no man in Polk county save Mir, Robie ever even had a stray thought of sucn a thing.
 Mir. Robie kindly intimates that he wishes success to The Star man. That's all right, old man. We will take you at your word. and when ever we decide to apply for the place in question here and now faithfully promise to ask your as- sistance in getting it. And we won't even ask you to promise to give that until the momentous time ar rives. So there

LOCATING BRIDGES.

Few things have created more bitterness in Polk county than the location of certain of the new steel bridges. There are more bridges to be built soon. and in the case of al least one, that on the Cossatot east of Jansen, there are two prospec- tive sites and two elements that will each contend for their respective location.
 The responsibility for this location rests upon the shoulders of Judge Prickett. B. c. Davis. county road commissioner, and J. F. Smith, road overseer in the township where the bridge is to be. These men will almost sure be blamed by some wherever they put the structures disagreeable thing to face, but they cannot avoid it and do their duty as officers.
 They urge upon the interested parties. however, to meet with them to discuss the matter on No. vember 24 in Mena, and it is to be hoped that an amicable agreement can be reached and most of the pco- ple pleased.

the recent election can be construed as an indorsement for Speaker Can non.
 The resentment of the country was clearly shown toward the Speak CT during the last session of Con- gress, when measures were smoth- cred and the policies of the admins tration, even those having the approval of the Democratic mem- bers of the house. were obstructed' The rank and file of the Republican party voiced itS support of the Roosevelt policies when it preferred Mir. Taft, who supported them, and refused to consider Speaker Cannon, who opposed them, as candidate for the Presidency.
 Now it stands to reason that the Democratic party is not only against Speaker Cannon. in and out of the house. but against the house policies for which he stands. This means, therefore. that the whole country, barring a reactionary contingent within the Republican party, is op- posed to the reelection of the Speaker. And members of the house who ignore this opposition cannot plead ignorance of it's exist ence. Kansas City Times.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.

Catherine B. Johnson, Press supt.)
 The w. c. T. U. held it's first meeting in November the 10th in the home of Mrs. Robinson (M. E. par sonage). Vice President Mrs. 0lney presiding, also conducted the devo- tional services. This meeting was a very important one, it being the last meeting before the state convention, which meets at Hot Springs Novem- Der l2-l5. An election of officers was held. Mrs. F. V. 0lney being elected president, Mrs. Annie Robin son, vice president; Mrs. Alice Knight. secretary. Mrs. George Legate, treasurer. Mrs. Mckee took the chair during the election of president.
 Some time was spent in deliberat- ing as to the lines of work for the coming year. and we hope before another year to have a full county or ganization, realizing that full county organization brings best results. The meeting closed with the bene- diction of the Union and we feel sure each member returned home with renewed strength and determi- nation to work for "God and II me and Native land" The next meet ing will be held at the M. E. church November 24. at the usual hour, and all arc expected to be present, and all who feel an interest in the uplift of the community are invited to attend.

Ought to Be Given a Chance to Earn
 Living.

"The world owes me living l' shouts Weary Willie" But the world repudiates his claim, and the world is right in refusing to pay. The world does not owe Willie a living, but it does owe him (and every other person. a chance to EARN living. This is the funda- mental right of man-the right to earn living by labor, says Edwin Markham in a symposium, If l Were a National Santa Claus" in the December Delineator.
 We say to the hungry man, Go to work, thou sluggard !" This is sound advice; but what if a man has no work and can find none ? Thousands of men are living in en- forced idleness. myself for weeks tramped the streets of San Fran cisco looking for work.
 We have allowed our lands and other resources to be monopolized by few; we have allowed the stall warts to scoop in opportunities that once were free to all. Gone are many of the chances that men once had on the free frontiers. Society having destroyed these chances society is bound in justice to provide work for the workless, bread-labor for the hungry. It is the duty of society-yes, the safety of society to see to it that a man has work. And until the state provides this work, penalties for begging and stealing might we'll be abolished; begging might be looked on as a business, and thieving as commend able thrift.
 What, then would be my Christ mas gift to the nation? It would be a system organized by the state to provide work at living wages for all workless men and women. This should be done by the state, not as a charity, but as a bounden duty, and men should accept it, not as a favor, but as a primal right.
 This would be my Christmas gift. How best could the state make it ready? What would be the ways and means? An, that is another story

GROW LESS COTTON.

Ben Griffin. former secretary of the Farmers Union of Arkansas. is responsible for the statement that the local unions of the state are earnestly taking hold of the propo- sition to reduce the acreage of cot ton grown with the purpose in view of securing better prices for that grown.
 This seems to be a thing that should appeal particularly to the people of Polk county, which is not, at best, an especially good cotton county, despite the fact that it does well here in spots.
 The Star has continually sought to use what influence it might have to prevail upon the farmers to de vote more attention to growing the crops that are consumed at home in their own homes and in the homes of those who are not producers, in which food stuffs of all sorts must be bought. It has also pointed out that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS are sent out of this county each year for things that should be grown here. The people to too great an extent raise cotton. pay the high freight rates to send it to the faroff markets of the world, and then pay freight on hundreds of carloads of hay, grain. meat and foodstuffs that are brought in.
 Yes, this is good time to reduce the cotton acreage in Polk county. and devote attention to growing hay. grain. vegetables and fruit. That will keep our money at home and bring prosperity to our people.

BITS OF EVERY DAY PHILosoPn

DilO UT LfLhf WI fAtehison 6lobe.l A man hates everybody's dog but his own.
 You can become quite popular with some people by letting them alone.
 There seems to be no one so hard to discourage as the person who can't sing.
 Every woman should be enough of a mechanic to take her own sew ing machine to pietes. When man is trying to sell you something, don't imagine he IS that polite all the time.
 Every amateur singer has friend who says frequently: You have a l fortune in your voice. Most people devote altogether too much time to devising cures for other peoples bad habits. The only way man can find the pen and ink at his house IS to tell his wife he wants to write a check A girls natural instinct is to run away from everything that she sees, and boys is to throw at 1t.
 The average young man worries too much about getting his salary, and not enough about earning 1t. A man has better idea of the measure of eternity after ns has seen two women saying goodbye. When anything is stolen, the po- lice try to keep the item out of the papers so the men who did the steal ing won't hear of it. Do you lack politeness? Then you lack one of life's the greatest essentials. You will get along very much easier if you are polite. If you sit around any particular store or office good deal, you can bet you are unpopular at that par ticular store The proprietor growls about you to his friends, and would like to get up the nerve necessary to give you both barrels.
 There is this important difference between the modern society woman and her old-fashioned mother: When the modern society woman makes sandwiches, they are as thin as blot ting paper, and melt on the tongue like a cough lozenge, and 2 real hungry man can eat thirty, but the old-fashioned mothers sandwiches were so big and fat that bite threatened dislocation of the jaw, and one sandwich was known to do for a whole family meal of seven.
 Take good care of the little you have and do not branch out too much. Live simple and economical lives and you will be happier than the man who is bothered half to death with lot of schemes, and who in the end is compelled to give up. Don't pretend that you are greater than you are; little mod esty. industry, simplicity, pay big returns. If you spread out more than you can afford, you deceive your family, and your friends, and they expect more of you than they should.
