BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness Is Too Generally Consider
ed Sign of Advanced Age.

a bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head Of hair, because bald
nee is too genearlly accepted as an
indication of age. Many large cor
porations have established an age IL
NIT, and ref1se to take met over 35
years of age as new employees.
Almost g. per cent of bald headed
people may regain good head of
healthy hair if they will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have
remedy that we positively enaran-
tee to grow hair on any head, unless
the roofs of the hair are entirely
dead, their folliclcs closed, and the
scalp has become glazed and shiny.
we want people TO try this remedy
at our risk, with the distinct under
standing that unless it docs exactlv
what we claim it will, and gives SAT-
iSfactlon in every respect, We shall
make no charge for the remedy USED
during the trial.
we Know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back of
our statements no one should scoff,
doubt onr word or hesitate to put
our remedy to an actual test.
We want everyone in Ncwbcrry
who IS suffering from any scalpc or
hair trouble, dandruff, falling or
badness to try onr Rexall "93n Hair
Tonc. We want them to use it re-
gularly-say until three bottles have
been nscd-and if it does not cradi-
cate dandruff, cleanse and refresh
the scalp, tighten the hair in it's roots.
and grow new hair, we will return
every cent paid us for the remedy for
the mere asking. There is no formal
lty expected, and we exact no obliea-
tl"n from the user whatever.
We are established right here in
Ncwhcrry, and make this offer with
a tnll understanding that our busi- |

TO INSURE DEPOSITS.

A bill has been introduced in the senate to levy a tax equalling 1-2 of l per cent upon all moneys deposited by the Treasury in the various national banks, the fund thus established to be held by the Secretary of the Treasury to re imburse depositors in national banks.
 There will probably be fight on this measure by the big banks that have become accustomed to hand ling millions upon millions of the public money free from tax or cost, but smaller banks and the people generally will flavor the proposed law as a measure of mere justice. As in many similar cases, however, a united, active minority will prob ably be able to bring to bear much greater pressure than the unorgan- ized majority.
 To get any law through Congress to which special interest or clique objects requires tremendous effort on the part of the common people.

OF WHAT IS IT AFRAID !?

If there's any one thing of which Congress is especially afraid is that it will find out the cause of the re cent money stringency. It couldn't be more so if it knew itself to be to blame. Weeks ago Culberson of Texas introduced strong resolution demanding that an investigation be made, but despite his hard fight for his measure it was referred to the finance committee headed by Ald- rich, and no efforts to bring it to life have been availing. In the meantime Aldrich fathers a bill to remedy the difficulty that just suits the Eastern b; nks where the trouble originated, and which have profit ed by it. Is it any wonder that the West is suspicious of the pro- posed "cure"?

T. K. JONES'

In this issue of The Star appears the announcement of T. R. Jones for the office of circuit clerk of Polk county. subject to the action of the Democratic primary.
 Mir. Jones, who is the manager of the Mena Ice & Cold Storage Go, of this city, is well known and highly respected by almost everybody in this section. He came here from Benton county over l2 wears ago, and until moving to Mena about six months ago, was engaged in farm ing and fruit growing at Eagleton.
 Mir. Jones has had the business training well qualifying him to per form the duties of the office of cir cult clerk. He is known as life long Democrat; has been a member of Polk County's Democratic Com mittee for number of years, dur ing which time be has worked

 Tomorrow is the happiest day in mans life.
 Tears of joy and sadness come from the same tank. He who speaks from experience leaves lot of things unsaid. It was too much apple sauce that got old Adam into trouble. The best way to get money, as well as the slowest, is to work for it. Fate seems to delight in handing misfortune to some people in punches. The exclusiveness of some families is a fortunate thing for the neigh bors. With man an effort must have its cause; with a woman it has it's because. A man seldom overlooks an oppor- tunity to make himself the hero of his own story.
 Vacations are a good deal like marriage anticipation often beats the realization.

THE BEST CLIMATE.

A news item in The Star gives ex- pression to the opinion that is held of Mena as healthful location by a man who has seen more of the American continent than falls to the lot of most men.
 MT. w. H. Ronemus is very earnest in his desire that the pro- posed home of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen shall be located here because he believes Mena has a climate best suited to give comfort and health to the invalids, widows and orphans for whose protection the home is to be established. He is going forth on his seventh annual tour of the lodges of this country and Canada with a determination to bring about the location of the home here.
 This is exactly in line with Mena's s destiny. It's summer and winter climate, it's altitude, it's central loca- tion, all tend to make it an ideal place for the establishment of homes of organizations that seek to bring comfort to their invalid members and to their widows and orphans. That is the reason why more than 90 per cent of the members of the Kan sas City Southern Railway Employ eers' Hospital Association voted to place it's big hospital here.
 That is the reason thousands of people of the low lands on the south, east and north look longingly toward Mena during the hot summer months.
 But Mena has not lived up to her opportunities thus far. Another season should not pass without greater activities along these lines.

TEEN WILL WORK FOR THEIR
 OWN INTEREST.

There are in the lower house of Congress 292 lawyers and only 190 men of all other vacations.
 With such an array of legal talent to make the laws of the country it might be supposed that bills could be So drawn as to readily withstand the examination of the courts. As a matter of fact, however, it is not so. Time after time laws are passed by Congress, as in the employees lia- bility act and the income tax, and after sa long and costly fight, in which the lawyers of the land got the fees, they are declared "uncon- stitutional" by other lawyers paid as judges of the Supreme court to pass on the peoples laws.
 And the worst of it is that too often is laws passed with the in tent of protecting the interests of the common people are found faulty, as in the two instances cited. An- other unpleasant feature is that too often the intent of a law is ignored in these high-court decisions in favor of a strained conformance to the letter of the law, IS, for example, the interstate law governing the shipment of liquors into prohibit tion state for which a change was suggested recently by Senator Till man, as explained in The Star last week Another feature in this con- nection is that frequently lawyers who are supposed to represent the people in Congress, in reality are attorneys for special interests.
 It is as unreasonable for the peo- | pie to expect lawyers to work against their own interests as it would be to ask farmer or mer- chant to do so. It should not be ex- pected of them.
 The remedy for the trouble then would appear simple. Let the voters reduce the great preponder- ance of lawyers in legislative places by electing men of other vacations or professions. There are not nearly so many lawyers as farmers, work CTS at trades and laborers. There are more merchants, school teachers, and preachers. These men may not all know how to word a bill that when it becomes law it will stand the test of court of lawyers, but they can secure better assistance from some lawyer whose profession al reputation is at stake than is usually given the people by lawyers who serve in legislative capacity.
 The sooner other classes than law yers are given power to make laws for the governing of the nation, the sooner win the other classas reeeive due consideration in the lawmaking.

Norwood Will Carry Montgomery.

It seems that Hon. Hal L. Nor wood of Mena is making 'em 'gc some" in his race for attorney gen eral of Arkansas. We have known Mir. Norwood for years and we dc not think there is better man ir the state for the office he seeks, and we also believe that Mir. Norwood will carry Montgomery county easily by large majority.

Federal Legislation Needed.

If Congress would enact two other laws," continued Senator Cur tis, it would assist materially in the enforcement of prohibition. We want first, a law to define the rights of the states with reference to viola tions of their local laws: to authorize them to confscate liquor brought over the border into state by inter- state commerce. There should be legislation making liquor subject to the laws and authorities of a state as soon as it crosses the line. It is a question whether such law would be constitutional, but the states should, at least, be given an oppor- tunity to test it's constitutionality. h the second place, the government should not issue licenses authorizing the citizens of state to violate it's statutes; authorizing them to sell liquor in states where it's sale is pr ohibited by the local laws. It would seem to me that both these propositions are reasonable and just and have myself, with other mem pers, introduced bills embodying them in both the senate and house of representatives. Thus far they have not received much attention, but the subject is becoming more and more important because of the enactment of prohibitory laws through thea Southern states. For. merly liquor selling was prohibited in Maine and Kansas only; now there is prohibition in six or sever other states to which such laws as have proposed will apply, and where experience will show that they art very much needed. If Congress would pass law giving state ths right to control it's liquor traffic its prohibition could be enforced".-- Kansas City Star, from w. E. Cur tis' Interview with Senator Curtis of Kansas in the Chicago Record Herald.
