perhaps a shuttle cay, and this they
say was the cause of the accident.

The Fruit Exhibit at The Fair Must Have More Room Aid to Be
 Asked of Business Men

G. B. Dennis. president of the Mena and Polk County Fair Association, is dettine down to hard work ia oreaniz- ind for the Fourteenth Annual Celebra- ton. August 1T, to 20.
 One of the expenses he finds must he mel this year is that or a building hr the fruit exhibits, including the hundreds of jars of fruit now in the office of the Mena Development Club -an exhibition the equal of which has never been seen in Western Ar kansas.
 This fact, together with the amounts to be paid in premiums, will make it necessary to ask the business men of Mena to give some substantial aid, and committee probably will soon visit them.
 This is an enterprise in which every man. woman and child is or should be interested, and doubtless the aid will gladly be given.

ANOTHER INVENTION
Col. Bill Fincher Couldn't Stand to See Crop Destroyed and Tries
 Live Wire.

Col. Bill Fincher of Bethesda Springs was in town yesterday; he wore a smile as broad as a Bill Taft liver pad and laughed until Mt. Mena fairly trembled. It all happened in this way: Bill had cleared a large field, fenced and plowed Cor hired) it, planted it in cane seed and irrigated it from Bethesda Chalybeate Springs, alternating with a liberal dose of stable manure. That cane grew and raised cain by crowding the fence over the surveyed lines in all direc- tions. Goodwin's cows smelled it; Brawley's goats tasted it; Jackson S razor-backs chewed it and all the chickens in town cackled to see the seed ripening
 Col. Bill couldn't sleep; his brain worked: it invented a triangular de vice set at every post and supporting an innocent looking wire; a base board running around the field upon which the COWS, goats, chickens. dogs, boys, etc., must step in order to in- spect that cane. and thus release a 20,OO0-volt charge of electricity from the mill up Camp Meeting Hollow.
 Why shouldn't Col. Bill laugh? Goats, pigs and cattle smell the ma chine and get up hundred yards away, look seven ways for Sunday, try it once more, and then quit and go home.
 Visitors to the Springs may see the device as they pass the field.

IRRIGATION IN POLK
pr. (. H. Maher Planr'rg 10 Use Biz Spring on Summer Home at
 Eagleton.

Dr. c. H. Maher of Spiro. who for several years has owned delightful summer home at Eaeleton, was in Mena Monday and told of plans that will largely interest people of Polk county
 Dr. Mahers original holdings at Eagleton consisted of 80 acres, lying one-fourth mile west of the station. On a slightly elevation is located a roomy. airy, comfortable residence. and around it yonng orchard. The doctor now has purchased the land lying between this original tract and the railroad. making in all 120 acres
 High up on the side of the mountain on the place is a big. bold spring, which flows down a little valley, mak- ing a nice little stream the year around. This, Dr. Maher proposes to divert on his place, of which he says he can irrigate 90 acres. He will put the most of it in orchard.
 Dr. Maher is an aggressive, energet- ic man and it is more than probabil- ity that he will give good illustration of what can be done by irrigation in Polk county.

IT VAS PRETTY SCEEE
Hundreds of Men, Women and Children Spent Friday Evening in Jansseu
 Park Listening to the Band.

When the W. o. W. band played the first number of its concert in Jansen park Friday night, hundreds of men, women, boys and girls. little and big were on the pretty grounds, some sit ting on the rich, green grass, some on the numerous seats and some in bug eies and carriages. while great many merely strolled about. drinking in the pure, fresh air. Down about the spring, from which flows water so sweet and pure that it seems shame 1t should not be accessible to every thirsty mortal, dozens were coming and going, few drinking without re- marking about the great privilege.
 The full moon was just showing it's bright disk in the east, casting it's rays of light among the shadows of the biz trees, and the very atmosphere seemed to tell of rest and peace and joy of living.
 Such a scene and the conditions that make it possible are worth more than riches-and few indeed are the cities the size of Mena that can furn- ish them.
 All honor to those men who have brought these things to us.

 Dear Sir:-Having noticed an ar ticle in the Southwest American, in issue of the 20th inst, in regard to a suit filed in the Sebastian circuit court by one Hogan, against k. D.

 This case is now in the court. and will be settled there in the manner that other mooted questions are, notwithstanding the opinions of those who inspired the article in question.
 The people of this city have known Mr. Sale from the date of it's begin nlng to the present time. The citi- zens of this county have known him intimately for thirty years. In their estmation no man stands higher in the qualities that go to make a good and respected citizen.
 The patent under which the agency vas sold to Hogan. is thought by most of those who have examined it, ncover good and useful invention. hr Sale thought so when he pur- chased the right to sell. MT. Hogan thought so, when, after uamlnatiOn of Sale'e authority and 0l the churn. he, of his own volition purchased the right to sell it. thus oecoming living link in the Great ameflcan Churn Conspiracy"
 Now 1t seems ,hat us a vendor of s'u'hs, Hogan is a failure. He paa'e'h for his mules and wagon ana for $l03.80 for other worldly sVous and merchandise, which he .'a,ns to have squandered, laid out s'' sm expended while fooling around With said churn.

Many good thoughts were expressed by each of these gentlemen We have neither the time nor space to publish these addresses. Those wishing to know what was said should have attended the meeting. There is always something interesting in each program. We would be glad if people understood better the effects of medicines, especially those contain ing alcohol. Much less would be used if understood.
 After closing this meeting, lemon ade and cake was served.
 The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Bertha Kelley, I'll Dewey avenue, August g. The sub ject, Cooperation of Temperance Forces" is the foundation for the program.

OUR UNPROTECTED PACIFIC COAST A CONTINUOUS TEMP.
 PATTON TO JAPAN.
NEED OF STRONG FLEET TIER:
Hero of Merimac Incident BeIIevet Situation Is Growing Worse Dally-s United States In No Position ts Carry on War.


 Toledo, Ohio, July 25.-That the un protected Pacific coast is an invita- ton to Japan to war upon this country and that Japan Is preparing for that war. were two of the startling state ments made by Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero of the Merri- mac incident during the Spanish war. here before leaving for Michigan, where he will lecture at Chautauquas on the subject of Our Country's Des- tiny"
 Strong Fleet for Pacific Coast.
 Captain Hobson declared that the policy to protect the Pacific coast with a strong fleet was the only hope of thwarting war with Japn.
 The Japanese situation is becom ing worse every day" declared the captain. "They are demanding the unlimited right of immigration into this country; we are refusing that demand. Japan is preparing for war
 "A nation cannot demand peace and have no arguments to support that demand. That is the position the United States is in. What kind of a navy have we? It Is not half large enough Unlike any other nation we have two oceans to patrol and one fleet to do it with.
 There are several conditions which make the relationship between this country and Japan precarious. One Is that she knows we are in no post tion to wage war. She knows that she can force us to do her bidding because we have no alternative no navy of size to back our opinions.
 Commerce Treaty Expires.
 Again next year the commerce treaty between Japan and the United States will expire. The island country has notified us that she will renew it. She undoubtedly will demand that we withdraw our exclusion act against her people.
 Japan is still smarting over the California agitation, when 1t was at tempted to bar the almondeyed stu dents from the San Francisco public schools.
 T am believer in peace," con. tinued the captain, who was chris tened The Kissing Bug" after a re- ;eption given on his return from the Spanish war. when the women guests were saluted by him in the manner suggested by his added title But we must do as the old saying goes, pre- pare for war In times of peace.
