ONE BALLOT TO DECIDE
Local Delegation Of Boosters Has
Done Splendid Campaign Work

Baltimore, Aug. 23.-(Special.)-A
canvass of the delegates in attendance
at the national convention Of the Loyal

of the delegates, which seems wholly
unlikely, Rock Island will win on the
first ballot.
The tri-city delegation Of boosters for
the 1911 convention has done most eff
fective work, as is indicated by the
daily rise in favor Of Rock Island as
the next years convention host. Lit

been generously distributed, and the
majority of the delegates are wearing
tri-city badges.

HIS rlARK IS SMALL

King Edward ", who passed to his last reward last week, made but small mark on the worlds history in the capacity of a ruler. His reign. following that of his mother, the great Queen Victoria, was little more than the keeping up of the routine of customs we'll established There is little to say of it so far as any accomplishment for the people of Great Britain is concerned, or for the world. The memory that will longest remain of the dead king will be of his life of frivolties, in which he set a pace that could hard ly be followed by any man situated otherwise.
 King George, his successor, seems to be another type of man. and com ing to his high station with less of his hfe's forces dissipated by age and ways of life, it is fair to hope that he may go out of the world with more to his credit.

WORK AND STRENGTH

It's no trouble to cut through but ter-but it don't develop strength. The newer of stone wears the strong arm that bears the long labor-Her- bert Kaufman.
 There is a lesson in the above for we of Mena. To gain sound strength, to wear the strong arm" we must put forth effort.
 There is an old saying that "talk is cheap" and it's true. but there's variety of ways of using talk, and to properly use the kind of talk that will do the most good for Mena will cost money. We must talk to peo- pie and tell them why they should come here to recover health, to en- joy life-to live. And to talk to these people costs money, because the talking must be printed and sent through the mails.
 Mena's Development Club is going to make special effort along that line this year. Itproposes to issue sev- eral folders setting forth in attrac- tive fashion the things that will bene- fit our city. And to do this will require effort. It cannot be done by cutting butter" and if it could it would not not be for our best inter ests. Those who aid in the world work are strongest and happiest. They see something accomplished by one trial, and then find themselves better able to meet the next obstacle And there's nothing like work of this kind to bring about that unani. mity of feeling and purpose that makes success possible.
 Let us take hold of each task for Mena with a will that will strengthen us to do greater things in the days to come.

of the isles. On September 10, 1S49, he was created earl of Dublin, this title being conferred on him and his heirs in perpetuity. Among the other titles and commands held by Edward were duke of Saxony, colonel of the Tenth hussars, colonel-in-chief of the Rifle brigade, field marshal of the British army and field marshal of the German army.
 The prince received most elabo- rate, broad and carefully planned edu- cation. At first he was under the charge of four private tutors. and sub sequently his education was directed by Baron Stockmar and Charles Kingsley. In order to give him a taste of college life, he was sent for one session to the University of Ed inburgh. for one year to Oxford and for four terms to Cambridge. During these years he acquired a wide gen. eral knowledge of the arts and sci. ences and became quite proficient in modern languages.
 In 1860 the prince made a tour of the United States and Canada and the next year he joined the British army at Curragh camp, Ireland. In 1862 he set out on his travels again, this time visiting Jerusalem and other places of biblical interest. His com panion on the trip was Dean Stanley of Westminster.

Socialism, the Principle
Editor of The Star.

Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir:-I notice a clipping from the Times Record in your edi- toral, also your comments, and since it is somewhat of an attack on So- cialism, will you be fair enough to give Socialist space to answer? In the first place, San Francisco never had a Socialist mayor. Schmidt was no Socialist, but Union Labor, and was opposed by a Socialist candidate and history has no chance to repeat itself so far as Milwaukee is con- cerned. He makes the statement that Social Democracy is on trial. You say that statement is only true in part. What is Socialism ? It is a principle good or bad. Nothing more. What is man? Men are only spokes in the wheel of evolu- tion. We are going forward. This system of government must pass. We must have something better. You cannot stop evolution, hence new principles, and these principles must be in men. So it is Social De- mocracy on trial in Milwaukee, and we must look to principles for relief from evil. The signs of the times can be read at every turn in our civilization. The rapidly increasing wealth of our country under the reign of capitalism and it's concen- tration in the hands of the few is clearing the way for our downfall as a nation. The history of past ages has proved that wealth is the mother of luxury; luxury the moth CT of vice; vice the mother of politi- cal corruption which, if unchecked, ends in national death. This is the brief story of the ultimate curse of wealth under private ownership, and if we are to predict the future by the past and present we would say that disaster and death are not far distant unless we change the course of our action and create new sys- tenn of economies by which our wealth will be more equally dis tributed. Political corruption is on the increase. and if you trace the whole situation back to it's origin you will find that the possession of great wealth by limited number of peo- pie and the wild efforts of others to to gain wealth is the beginning of 1 all the trouble.
 How long will we suffer under these threatening conditions? ? Shall we go to the last analysis and reap

Despise Not Small Things

In getting away from cotton and corn to exclusion of other crops, it would be well to consider facts. It costs nearly the price of cotton to produce it, and profit from corn when sold directly has not proven great. When other crops bring rev enue, when there is no cotton or corn, the chattel mortgage is exc cuted.
 The man who can sell something all along during the year will find himself better off than one who makes a bumper" cotton crop. and sells it all to discharge mortgage.
 It IS often wise to contract a debt. for investment, or for things abso- lutely needed. For current expenses debt had best not been contracted. Here variety of products counts.
 Small economies make large ones in the aggregate, and when good crops are made and few debts con tracted there are good times. De spise not the day of small things. j" for out of many small things are great ones made. Farm and Ranch.

Food Yalues in Vegetables.

The maligned onion belongs to the lily family and contains priceless ele- Fments of health and nourishment,
 especially to nerves and blood. The
 turnip, also, has medicinal and food virtue, though it is not so nourish- ing, containing, like cabbage, over ninety per cent of water. The vel low turnip is considered a mild ner- vine. The unpopular carrot IS al- most miraculous as a blood purifier, and French women consider 1t as important as any cosmetic. It has, also, undreamed-of possibilities of preparation.

Impressions of the Ozarks.

It may be that the "peace which passeth understanding" is not to be found in this life but there is an ap- proach to it as one enters the Ozark mountains of Arkansas.
 There are many Peaceful Val leys, i" and Lazy Follows" and Still Waters" The Ozark mountains do not disappoint. The charm of these mountains is a continuing charm. Every day there are new beauties. Every day there are new walks, and rides, and drives. with views of yer dant hills, sparkling springs of purest water, rivers running down to the Gulf, roads cut through forests and leading far be- tween rows of stately trees, fantas- tic rocks by the wayside, many of them adorned with moses of many hues, a stiffness over all broken only by the rustling of the leaves, the dropping of nuts, the chatter of squirrels, the sound of hoof-beats on mountain road, the call of birds, the shrill cry of a locomotive in the distance reminding one that there is a great and busy world away off somewhere to which one may go, somehow.
 These mountains differ so from the Rockies. The Rockies impress by their ruggedness, strength, massive ness. The Ozarks are tree-clad They appeal because of their pla- cidity, restfulness. beauty. The air is balsamic. It comes laden with the smell of the fruits, the life of the pine and cedar.
 From the tops of the mountain one looks down to where there are winding roads and ziz-zag paths and brooks and rills. Through the trees are glimpses of houses and barns. There is the barking of the dogs, the neighing of horses, the crow of the cock, the tinkle of COW bells. Look ing out away there is the stretch of green mountains as far as the eye will carry, hill rising upon hill until the last one appears to enter the sky. All about, and above the tops of the highest peaks is bluish haze adding the needed color to make picture of entrancing beauty

The hot bread end of the proposition mas been esteemed as a slander---or ratn- CT it has been not esteemed by tne South alike by word of mouth and work of mouth in continuing to re- ceive it once day at least, and generally more often, And our faith in and our fealty to hot bread has at length been justified by ofii- cial pronouncement by no less an authority than Secretary of Agrlcul- ture Wilson.
 No true epicure with remembrance of haky hot biscuits, with yellow butter generously planked between the divided halves and left to melt, with mayhap honey on the side or the more homely 'lasses would dare revile it---no, nor the hot fapjacks, nor the warm egg corn bread. We of the South have always known that hot bread, the old-fashioned South ern kind of hot bread, was not only innocuous. but toothsome and com forting to the inner man. Nay, more, many would esteem the day badly begun with a cold, cheerless. inhospitable slice of cold light bread Still it is comforting and in the na- ture of a vindication that such authority as cabinet officer of the government at Washington should make official promulgation of the healthfulness of a recognized South ern institution. n.---Gazette.
