GET UP ROAD BOOM
 FOR POLK COUNTY
]. C. C. of Acorn Tells of Experi- ence With Drag and of Plans to Make Mena Two Miles
 Nearer.
To Editor of The Star.

To Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir:-I would like to have space in The Star to discuss the road question just a little It seems to me that there ought to be something done to get the people of Polk county inter ested more in road building and main taining roads in better condition after they are built.
 The next two or three months to come is the best time of the year to work roads and the farmers will have more time to spare than they will likely have at any other season of the year, so let us try to get up road boom while our town friends are boom ing the towns.
 It is easy to see that if we depend on the free labor and the little taxes that we pay to build and maintain our roads that it will be long time before Polk county will have good roads. When if all who are interested in roads would give few extra days work with their teams we would soon see a great improvement in our roads, and we could most all of us do this and hardly miss the time. Just think of the satisfaction there would be in driving to town or any where we might want to go. The road drag has been introduced in this township since the first of the year, and while 1 have read great deal about it's usefulness 1 had no idea it was so good a thing as it is, man and team can pull up more rocks in a day with a drag than seven or eight men can dig up with picks, and it is almost equal to grader for grading, where it is not necessary to make a l fill. You can follow each side of the road and run the drag around and around and it will pull the dirt all into the center of the road and sift out the rock and you have a nice graded road bed
 If every township had from four to eight drags and the people would use them we soon could have as good roads as any country.
 Now, for fear that some who read this will think am just boasting and will not practice what preach. l will confess that I have been as stingy about putting in little extra work or the roads as anyone, but by the time summer is over hope toNbe able tC prove my faith by my works. l live on road that was granted eight or ten years ago, running iron Mena to Acorn, and it has never beer cut out on the survey yet. We have | just waited. thinking it would be done and now all of us who live on saic road have agreed to open and work il this summer with what time our over seer will give us, and it will take { good many days work. When it is done we will have a road that vii make it two miles nearer from Acorn ts Mena than the old road we have beer travelling.
 wish all who are interested II this road would consider this question seriously and see if they think i would not pay to give q few days work to their roads 1 think it would pay well for our own convenience, be sides adding greatly to the value o our farms.
 l would like to hear from someone else. Let US get up road boom al over Polk county. J. C. C.

FOURTH IN MENA i.
Most Business Houses Were Closed and Hundreads Went to the
 Country.

Most of the business houses in Mena were closed Monday in honor of Independence day. There was no great amount of powder burned in the city, though at night sky rockets and fireworks lighted the sky at frequent intervals.
 A large number of people left the city in the morning and spent the day picnicking, fishing and rusticat- ing in the woods and along streams.
 The weather was fine, the heat being tempered by clouds and cool breezes.

MANY STREET FIGHTS
BECAUSE JEFFRIEs WAS DEFEAT ED BY JOHNSON NEGROES
 WERE MADE TO SUFFER.
OUTBREAKS WERE NUMEROUS
Scores of Arrests Made In New York and Philadelphia Where Guards of Police Were Necessary to Preserve Order and Check Race Troubles.

New York, July G.-The police arc still keeping active patrol in the black belts" of New York to check any further race trouble engendered by the outcome of the Jcffries-Johnson fight
 The Irritation caused by the defeat of Jeffrles at the hands of negro caused scores of street fignts, negro hunts through the streets and out breaks all through the night One negro was killed, his assaIlant escap- ing, while several badly bruised ne- groes arc in hospitals recovering from injuries and fright.
 Clubs Used as Arguments.
 The black and tan zone was the scene of the only race killing reported. George Crawford, negro waiter, had an altercation with an unknown white man over the question of what Jeffries In his prime could have done to John son. The white man ended the argu- ment by striking Crawford on the head with club. The negro died later fin the hospital. Nelson Turner. negro, was nearly ynched for yelling to crowd of white men in the San Juan section: We blacks put one over on you
 whites and we're going to do more to yoa''
 Then Turner drew a revolver. which missed fire. and in n flash the crowd was on him He was being hauled to a lamp post when tho police rescued him
 There were race troubles in all the boroughs of the city. Philadeiphla's Wild Night. Philadelphia. July G.-More than one hundred whites and blacl sO>e 'th their heads bandaged or show ng other evidence of their participation in the nights race riot following John sons victory at Reno were up before police magistrates to receive punish ment. As rule the disturbers of the peace were released with a fine. but those more seriously involved in the riots were held fin ball for court or | sent to the county prison for short ! terms.
 It was a wild night among the rougher element of negroes in the negro sections, but no one was dan gerously injured either fin the riots
 or in the hilarious celebrations of
 the negro champions triumph. The disturbances were not confined
 to any particular part of the city or | public parks, fights breaking out near | ly everywhere that the two races in- termingled The police were looking for trouble in the event of Johnson's
 victory and ruled with an iron hand when the trouble came. Clubs were
 freely used in quelling the disturb

WINTER and Air In Soil.

There must be proper balance Oh
air and water to have the soil work
go on. Exclude either and there Is
failure. Soil work is stopped when
the soil becomes SO dry that the water
films around the soil particles are de.
stroyed. Then Is when the plant food
ceases to be elaborated, and what
plant food there is in the soil is no
longer carried to the roots of the
plants.
Great losses in crops are annually
recorded because these simple fuRdsp
mental facts are not fully understood
There must be a balance Drainage
will often do much to bring aboGt q
good condition of aeratlon Of soil; bus
in some soils something else is needed,
Thus sandy soil that Is so light tha9
the moisture film soon disappears to
depth of a foot or more will pro-
duce nothing. In such case othSS
things must be incorporated with the
sand Of the soil, such as muck, lime
humus, fertilizer, to give 1t the pOwe1
to retain the moisture film.

Dairyinr IN Winter,

There are many advantages In haS-
ing cows come fresh in winter. when
all dairy products sell at high price
In many places the price Of abuttef
Is from 20 to 30 per cent higher In
winter than In summer.
When the cows calve in the spring
they generally milk we'll until the pas
lures dry up, when the fiow Of milk
quickly falls off, so that by the time
stable feeds begin the cows are almost
dried up. Now, II the cows come fresh
In the fall, they produce a good flow
Of milk during the winter months.
and In the spring, when they are
turned on the grass, this acts as q
second freshening and thus lengthens
the period of milk production.
Another distinct advantage in win
ter dairying Is that during this sea-
son the farmer is not so busy with
other work, consequently he can give
more time to the care of the cows
the milk and the cream than is posi-
BILE during the busy season of thO
year. When winter dairying becomes
more generally practiced, the subject
of winter feeds will be given more at
tention. OF these silage is one Of the
most important, since one acre Of good
silage material will yield as much feed
as three acres Of pasture.

Tan Shoes for 1910.

The oft recurring question, CIVIL
tans sell next season9'' is again before
the trade. Statesmen report that some
dealers are rather shy about ordering
tans for next summer, their reason being
that the grays and green's which were
popular last summer are likely to super
sede tans for the spring, 1910, says Boot
and Shoe Reporter.
This we are confident is a mistake.
Tans will be proper and popular for both
men s and women IS wear next season.
Their popularity is due to their practic-
ability. They look well when they are
well cared for, and if properly cared
for will continue to look well unit ut
terly worn out. In the better feathers
they are fully as durable as black or
any of the other colors, and they take
the polishes and dressings capitally.
The argument has been offered that
tans have been in favor for several sea-
sons and, therefore, are getting old
fashioned. This is not logical. Tans
are firmly sustained as a standard as
are black feathers. Black has always
been fashionable for footwear, and ii
is safe to say that it always will be
or at least for a generation to come
and tan leather has been a good sec
ond If it has not indeed supplantec
black as the greatest favorite for sum
mer footwear.
OF course there will be a good de
mand for novelties in eolors and kinds
of leather, and the suede feathers, the
dull finishes and the different colorl
will have more or less of a following
but the dealer will make no mistake il
ordering a regular line of tans and il
pushing them next season.
We do not believe that retailers ar,
any slower in ordering tans than the.
are in ordering shoes of other colors
The tendency to delay is always presen
when prices are advanced, and retailer
are backward in placing their orders
We believe that dealers will be bette
served and get better values by order
ing today than they will by delaying
until later in the season.

skim Milk.

At the West Virginia experiment
station 1t has been found that skim
milk for feeding laying hens is worth
from ia to 2 cents quart. Other
experiments have fully proved that 1t
has equally as great value for feed
Ing pigs.
Figuring at this rate, the milkman
who sells whole milk is selling from
so to 80 cents worth Of skim milk to
each can, and the general market
prices of can of milk is close around
1928. Now, this can of milk contains
enough cream to make four pounds
Of butter, which is worth about 81,
leaving only about rs cents for the
skim milk sold, or a loss of from 35
to 30 cents on each can over making
the cream into butter and feeding the
skim milk. Also, when the milk is
fed on the farm more fertilizer is
made, which makes the difference
still greater in favor of keeping and
feeding the skim milk.
Where Inc can secure select trade
for whole milk at extra price 1t will
pay to sell the whole milk and buy
extra feeds and fertilizers, but sell
Ing whole milk at less than 81 for &
4O-quart can is not profitable wher
one considers the future of the LAND
on which he is dairying.

wnntefnl moononnr.

The number of people is small, We
believe, who, knowing that through
their fault some mistake of an in1zrt
Gus nature has been made, would want
only to attach the blame to innocent
parties. This Is generally done
thoughtlessly and ignorantly, albeit In
good faith. The idea is to examine
ourselves and methods before condemn
ing another.
A patron Of Wisconsin creamery
recently sent in some vigorous pro
tests against Its products. It tran
spired that the creamery was not In
the wrong, except so far as the man
agement put faith in few Of the pa
irons Of the creamery. Several of
them had thoughtlessly turned their
herds into cabbage, rape and turniu
patches Immediately after the first
heavy frosts, and the milk thus tainted
was sent In, with the result OF causing
inferiority in the creamery's output
Aside from the fact that we should
not judge too hastily or be too ready
to charge moral turpitude, the discern.
ing farmer will understand from the
case In point that feeding the stock
any old thing to prevent waste may
be the means Of producing greater de.
struction.

New Corn Feeding.

Not all farmers appreciate the value
Of feeding new corn. When handled
properly more good results can be oh.
tanned from it than from any other
crop grown. When fed in the green
stage, from the time when grains are
in the mill; till they become hard and
the blades dry up, horses and cattle
will eat almost, IL not all, of the en-
tire plant, and sheep and hogs will
eat much of 1t, utilizing to advantage
all there is in the crop. New corn,
lust after 1t has passed the roasting
ear stage, is one of the best feeds for
poultry, both young and old, and hens
will lay eggs much better than on old
corn. There is no feed much better
for fattening horses and colts, as well
as cattle, than new corn.
We always plant some very early
medium and the patches of corn to be
cut and fed whole in late summer and
fall. In this way we have the best
of feed for the stock in August, Sep
TENDER and October, one-fourth of the
year. While the new corn is beins
fed none of the stock requires much
other feed, and the grain in the bin
and the hay in the NOW are saved.

KeepinE sweet potatoes.

There are several different methods
for storing and keeping sweet potatoes
which have proved successful. Pc.
tatoes, when first dug, have q larea
amount of moisture in them. which
must evaporate. When the weather q
good they should be left out In tha
field until this evaporation is COM
plete; otherwise the moisture and the
intense heat generated by their drying
in a hill will cause rot. When this 4
not possible they should be piled loose

They may then be stored In the lofi
