DR. STAKHY DELIVERS ADDRESS
Urges Adoption of Principles Laid
 Down in Bill.
Points Out Duty Man owes His Fellow and Society in General and Says All Else should Re sub-
 servient to It.

Even larger than on the last two sundays since the mems meetings un- der the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A. were resumed for the winter months, was the audience that gathered in the new Empire Theatre yesterday afternoon. The auditorium was packed and seat ing room was at premium.
 The feature of the meeting was the third address In the series being given by pr. Charles stakely, pastor of the First Baptist Church. pr. Stakely said in his address a week ago that the the pulpit was devoted to essentially moral themes; that 1t was in morals and not in politics. However, he veered somewhat from this announce ment yesterday, when. in tie course of his talk on basic principles of mor- ality, he referred to a struggle that is momentous in Alabama at this time and that Is not to any marked degree divorced from individual or State poli- tics.
 The keynote of pr. stakeIy.s address was the duty the individual owes to society In general and to those with whom the indiviuaI comes into per- sonal contact in particular. He ar- gued that the procurement of the Apostle Paul that the sinking of ones self and ones personal interests in the obligation existent toward the whole of society and placing private life at the disposal of the public needs and welfare whenever conflicts existed as to matters of policy. was g plan that might be applied practically any day of this age and specific locality.
 He appealed to the young men pres ent to stand by the Bible and its teach ings and principles, and in conclusion said man must stand by the old Bible, apply its principles and make real men of themselves. He urged them to be in line with those who thought for the best of the community. He said that if they follow Biblical principles in all the ways of life for the betterment of their soul and the example to their fellowmen that the reward would be theirs.

County CommissiOners' Arrest Causes
 Much Comment.
 Mobile. Oct. 17.-(Special.)- one topic of conversation today has been the indictment of the County Commis- sioners for failure to maintain prop CT jail" by the grand jury which ad- journed last night after two weeks session.
 While the lynching of the negro Rob- arson, who was taken from the jail and lynched for the murder of Deputy Sher- If Phil Patch, Is primarily the cause of the indictment, 1t develops that the Commissioners were indicted for ignor- ing recommendations of a former grand jury.
 Shortly after the negro Roberson was lynched. a grand jury convened and investigated the lynch'ng and rec commended that certain safeguards, such as the placing of doors and like pro- tections around the jail guard room be taken at the jail. These injunctions. it Is said, the Board of County Commits sioners ignored totally and the grand jury adjourning yesterday returned the indictments against the commissioners for this failure to carry out instruc- tions of a former body. All the co%l- missloners have not yet been arrested but will be tomorrow. many of them living out of the cit wand having re- mained at their homes over Sunday.
 The police department was again busy today against Sunday violators and as a result five harbers are on the docket for violating the Sunday o>en store ordinance. Patrolmen in differ ent parts of the city arrested the viola tors who will be tried by the Recorder tomorrow.

PHILOSOPHY OF A GAMBLER

In New York city lies dying Pat Sheedy, probably the greatest gam bier the United States eyer saw. Lying in his bed, knowing that the end was near, he talked of his life. This is one of the things he said:
 live been gambler, but gambling is no profession for any man. It is not even U profitable one, for it's the only one of which you can say, the higher you go the lower you go, the more you succeed the more you fall. Y
 Pat Sheedy is man known even more for his good deeds than his gambling, and when he crosses the dark river he will leave behind hun dreds who will remember his kind acts and mourn his going. And these words of his, spoken as he faces the end, should be taken home and remembered. They may pre- vent others from falling into a too common error that one can never prosper by trying to gain something for nothing.

Watermelon Booth for a Summer Fair

The feature which scored the greatest success at a summer resort fair was watermelon booth, the bright invention of an artist sojourn- ing at one of the hotels.
 The booth was hung with festoons of red and green tissue paper and decorated with pickaninny heads cut from black paper, with features painted in water-colors.
 Big slices of watermelon at ten cents slice were served by one of the ladies interested, blacked and bandana-ed to represent portly Southern nanny. The watermil- lion," owing to the warm weather and the novelty of it, took like the proverbial hot cakes. w o m a n's Home Companion for August.

met. There are places in Oklahoma where you have to buy what water you get in barrels and then buy ice to keep it from spelling. I have since living here paid out enough money for water and ice and doctors and chill tonics to buy very good farm in Polk county, but still there are men in Oklahoma wading in dust shoe-mouth deep trying to boost Oklahoma and to run Arkan- sas down.
 l would not give 100 acres in Polk county for home for 200, acres in most parts Oklahoma that you hear so much about.
 In Polk county would not have to buy water and keep it sitting in barrels, don't have to buy ice, nor firewood, nor fence posts, and don't have to shake with the chills.
 l have no fault to find with those who want to farm in Oklahoma, but advise man looking for a cheap, good, poor mans home to get a home in Polk county, Arkansas, which can be had on easy terms and at a req sonable price.
 When nature gives you pure, free water, the comforts of good cli- mate and health in location where you can live for half what you can live in other places for it is worth considering, especially when there are just as good schools, churches and people.
 In Polk county you are sure of three things you rarely find com bined in one locality:
 The very best of water.
 The very best of climate.
 The very best of health.
 These things, and the kind, good hearted people, are reasons why Polk county is better than other counties.
 Some will read this and wonder why l do not stay in Polk county. l am employed at railroad work. l cannot get in Polk county. But l will certainly be there when I am able to move onto farm.
 am not in the real estate busi- ness and have none in Polk county to sell. Just simply believe it is the best county in which 1 ever lived. D. T. Howard. Lehigh, Ok, Aug. 2.

A SOUND DOCTRINE.

The Farmers Union meeting held in Little Rock last week passed a resolution urging each member to plant a sufficient amount of wheat each year to manufacture all the flour which is used in his family dur ing the year"
 This is line distinctly in line with good farming. good business and common sense.
 1t is also in line with The Stars hobby that farmer, to be safely and surely prosperous must first pro- duce as largely as possible all he needs for himself and family and stock, and later. surplus to sell to those who cannot do this-those of other vacations and in the cities.
 The time was that Polk county raised all the wheat 1t consumed. It should do so again, and it is inter esting to be able to report that there will next spring be a mill in Mena prepared to turn this wheat into four thus keeping all the profit at home among our own people.
 And, like all other products raised by our farmers. all they sell is pro- tected," as it were. by a tariff the price charged by the railroads for transportation-a very considerable per cent on the cost of a sack of flour. or bran or shorts all wheat products that sell in vast quantities and at high prices in Mena.
 The Farmers Union in this as in many other things is teaching a sound doctrine. The farmer, just in proportion as he produces what he needs, is independent of trusts, manipulation of markets and panics.
 This subject would be a good one to discuss in Polk county unions.

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir: Every man should have reason for thinking or doing as he does, and have several reasons for thinking well of Polk county. Ar. kansas.
 Polk county is the healthiest place 1 ever fonnd and has pure mountain air and clear, pure soft water. There is the best of health, the most agreeable climate. plenty of good timber, and a good crop almost every year for those who farm right. Besides these things you can buy land at from $250 up to sla an acre that will produce better crops than land selling in parts of Oklahoma for four to six times as much.
 You will find men in Oklahoma who will tell you that a man can't make a living in Arkansas. Some who put up such talk never were in Arkansas. If they would visit Polk county they would find the farmers with plenty to eat all the year around. and as rule the freest- hearted and best people ti1ey ever t

 Editor Star-Your issue of the 9th inst. contains an editoriaI paragraph concerning the conven. tion of boosters which was held at Gillham op August ,, aud the statement is made that Mena and De Queen were not represented. Tbis is mistake as De Queen had representative there in the person of Editor Farce of the De Queen Bee, and in view of the fact that be took an active interest in the meeting, also volunninous notes of the proceed ings, the enthusiastic boosters subscribed for l.250 extra copies of the Bee for distribution.

The next meeting of the association will be held a Wickes oa August 3l. and De Queen has promised 10 be repre- scented with large delegation.

Employs 5000 Goats.

Three thousand Angora goats herded
out on the brush-covered foothills of
California are going TO do some hard
work for Uncle Sam during the coming
two years. They will be plt to no less
a task than constructing mile after mile
of fire line through the bushy
chaparral growth in the national forests,
saving much labor by the United
States forest service engineers and max
ing way for forestation by merchantable
trees. The task will be performed dur
ing the regular grazing by the goats,
which will not even realize they are
doing a valuable work.
The scheme is to run fire lines parallel
with the contour of the slopes by cutting
trails about so rods apart These trails
are TO serve as guides for the Angoras
They will Craze in each direction from
the trails, killing. it is estimated. strip
of brush about $40 yards wide The
wide lanes cut out and grazed by the
goats will serve as ideal fire lines in
protecting the forests covered lands
lying beyond and around the chaperral
areas, and also make place for repro
duction of merchantable trees.
