hard to bring about this very thing by landing the stste agricultural school.
 Now there's just one right thing to do and that is to help . every mothers son of us. If you can't help in large way, join others in the same fix and together you can do perhaps that part that will turn fail ure into success.
 And don't be forever about it, fer it is what we have in hand when the trustees reach here next Thursday that will count in the results-not what we might have to offer the next day.
 If the men who are working hard to make this project a success do not get to see you-if they should miss you-come and do your part any how. Don't shirk. This is for all of usfor Mena and Polk county, and the prosperity of both.

als which appeal to the agricultural classes.
 Hogs are selling now at more than $l0 hundred on the Kansas City and Chicago markets, prize that very nearly approxiInates that of the war times when prices were al- most prohibitive and people went hungry.
 The farmer that will raise his own hogs and his own feed for them is the independent man who laughs at the trust and the high price of living.
 Those who try it will wonder why they have so many years persisted in raising only one crop which may fail, and buying their provisions and their feed in Kansas and Minnesota
 Raising at home all they eat and all their stock require is the secret of their greater success. Arkansas Democrat.

interest ou State Funds.

Said J. M. Barker, president of Group Five of the Arkansas Bankers Association, in his address to the bankers:
 "A desirable item of Legislation is the state depository law. Often there are thousands of dollars in the vaults ot the state treasury. With proper security, these funds might be deposit- ed in reputable banks with reasonable interest on daily balances, thereby increasing the state's revenues very materially, besides enlarging the medium of circulation at d time when much needed by the business interests of our state. :"
 The state of Arkansas. which needs. more revenue for its government and various institutions, throws away some $30, 900 every year by pursuing the medieval policy of locking up it's money sometimes more than mil ion dollars vault at the capitol Instead of putting that money at in- erest in banks. - Gazette.

Some Reflections.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor or Inc otar
 Dear Sir: Being a constant reader of your enterprising paper, which IS always alive to the interests and well-being of the city of Mena and Polk county, wish to contribute a few" not on the important sub ject of hogs, however, and the laws that should govern them, but on the following text:
 Dr. B. Clark Hyde of Kansas City, was sent to jail on Monday to be held on eleven indictments. Trial was set for April H. Later he was released on S100, GOO bail.
 Within the past few months we have noted criminal convictions of men of high estate in almost every occupation and profession. Bank CTS, ministers, lawyers, and now the above M. D. is preambulating about, by virtue of S100, 900 pledges, etc. And why not one of that pro fession {?
 Happily, our towns of the good state of Arkansas possess as fine a body of humanitarian, n3edical prac- ticioners as any state in the Union. Charlatanism, if such exists, has sel dom, if ever appeared above the surface, which leads us to one or the other of three conclusions: either, it does not exist, or if it does, is skill fully and cleverly covered up; or third, if known, by a few, almost beyond a peradventure, yet is not deemed sufficient to warrant heroic efforts at development.
 Far be it from the writer's thoughts to direct in the least, any unjust breath of suspicion" toward any practitioner in general or par ticular, in the western half of Ar kansas. Thank Goodness, the Nj. D's are men above reproach, ''as usual thing Physicians. the coun- try over are considered as being men worthy of the very highest con fidence of all. Their work of ren- dering medical aid to the sick and suffering, is second almost, to none. The fact that they have in years past acquired a diploma from some reput- able medical college, places them in general estimation, rarely ques- toned, perhaps from trusting GUS tom, as men of integrity.

Here for Twenty-Two Years.
To the Editor of The Star.

l O the EulJOr Ot ne Sldr.
 Dear Sir:-As 1 am farmer and have been for twenty-five years, being reared in Polk county 1 am interested in the welfare of the people of this county. Neith- CT do 1 believe there is a man iu Polk county that would do more to push the cause of prosperity than I would. Believing have a fairly good idea what would be to the interest of the farmer, do not believe hog law would help them at this time for this reason. We have so much land in Polk county that is not fit for anything except the timber and the acorns, and to deprive the people of this 1 believe would 6e against the interest of the ayer- age farmer in Polk county.
 1 notice one advocate of the hog law says. "Let's vote for a hog law for the sake of peace. l do not know of a country any, where that the people get along better, or in other words, are more peacea ble than they are ia Polk county, and they haven { got hog law. So far as am concerned 1 have the pasture all ready prepared, hog law or no hog law, but there are so many good law-a biding farmers in Polk county that haven't got the laud for pasture, and tehreby would be deprived of any hogs. l say let's go to work aud fix our fences and not the law. Believe the law has been fixed enough. But some one will say we will have better hogs. 1 want to say that is no excuse, the people of Polk county have a perfect right to any kind of hogs that their money will buy, and that without hog law. Think of it friends. There are about two-thirds of the farmers own land. So one-third of the people would be depending en- tirely on the other two-thirds for their meat. And let me say 1nst here, 1t is not every man that has land that has suitable Llsce for hog pasture.
 Now to the one that wauts to keep his hogs up, he has right to do so and that without a hog law. l want to say a man that has to have law to make him keep his hogs up, I fear would have to have law to make him feed them. So let's not take any chances. One fellow says with hog law we would have the fiber. ty to fence our farms with three or four wires or make them hog proof. I say we have the liberty to make them hog proof without a hog law, and will say they are much better when they are made hog proof.
 You take the man that doesn't own land and is not prepared to keep hogs, his smoke house would be at the landlords or in Kansas City. As meat ranges now from Is to 20 cents 1t is hard to tell what it would be with a hog Jaw.

The Missouri Paciic-Iron Noun tain railroad is sending folders all over the United States. Canada and many foreign countries advertising Arkansas as "a country rediscovered by homhseekers. being situated far enough south to escape the rigors of northern winters and far enough north to escape the long, hot sum- mers." Now add to this that Polk county is at the typographical appex of the state and has the finest cli- mate of all---but the M. P.-I. M. will leave that for others to say. Are you going to do your share?

Rockefeller has prepared to make the best recompense he could to the world for having grabbed so large a part of it's wealth. He is going to give back in charity billion dollars. But what pity he cannot see that 1t is not charity that real men and women want. Tie economic condi- tions of the time, not Rockefeller, probably are responsible for his tremendous wealth-gathering power. Somehow these should be changed so that such wealth would remain among the producers as a recom- pense for effort, and not be piled up to be returned, If at all. in charity.

the hog law in The Star and nope we will get not only hog law but a general stock law.
 1 will give my experience with some pigs last year: had two filters of pigs. kept one litter in a pas, ture and the other outside until August. The litter in the pasture did well, while the litter outside go' so poor they nearly died. In August the bunch outside got to getting Tn a neighbours field, so put them up and turned the others outside. The good ones that I turned out began to get poor. while the others began to come out. l fed both filters as near the same as could, and Tn De- tober put all of them up to fatten. When I killed them they weighed 100 pounds each. If l had kept one bunch up all of the time, l could have easily made them weigh 200 pounds each.
 Mr. Edwards has lived Tn Polk county 24 years and owns no land and sees no use for hog law. Now are we going to take his advice, or are we going to take the advice of some one who has made some success in life, such as A. E. Wear, Charles Bur- nett and others? Some are bowling about Mr. Fulton saying razor backs" If he had called them "pine- rooters," they would have said that they were not "pine-rooters," but hazel splitters. Some say that if we had a hog law we would have to make good fences. If that be true, 1 say hurrah for the hog law. If we had hog law, we would only have to fence to keep our hogs up. As it is we have to fence to keep ours up and fence to keep other peoples hogs out.
 Some are writing against the hog law that own no land and want to let their hogs run on other peoples land; some own land and don't want to make a pasture for their renter. am renter and not afraid of not getting pasture.
 My brother. Mark, seems to think that hog law would cause trouble. 1 have seen more trouble here in the last two years than l remember of ever seeing in old Missouri. As to the land not making pasture, that is Most of the upland will make good pasture if we will only fix them. l would cite you to A. E. Wear; He has a common upland place. Go and look at his place and don't say we can't have pasture and raise feed for our stock.
 Now MT. Bates and others, don't say that am a new conner. 1 came to Polk county in April, 1898. when l was IA years old and settled with my parents on place one mile west of Boggy Springs, where lived until September, 1907. Then moved one 
 mile east of Silver Center, where I now live.
 Let us not.be drawback to Polk county, but work together for the of the country.

What right has the farmer the saloon question
Might not ask.
What right has the brewer to vote on license?
What right has the saoonkeeper to vote on license?
What right have the people of the cities who the

These people all financially interested through the
license money and through profits sale of liquor in the
licensing of Saloons and what right have they to vote
the question?
The saloons manufacture costs and pauper bills
and the farmers of counties bear much the heavier por
tion of these costs and bills
If must dsfranchise anybody this license question,
let dsfranchse the farmers who pay larger por-
ton of the costs of saloons and reap of the benefit
