LET THEM OFF EASY
z. A. Smith Fined $20 as Result of Matrimonial Mixup With Mrs.
 4. H. Snggs.

z. A. Smith and Mrs. A. H. Suggs of Wickes who got in trouble by taking two-weeks trip to Kansas and re- turning with the claim that Mrs. Suggs had secured a divorce and that they had been duly married, were be- fore Squire Sam Smith Monday.
 It is an evident fact that Mrs. Suges could not have secured a divorce on such short time in Kansas and if the pair were legally married while away they would be guilty of bieamy, but this would have to be taken up by the Kansas authorities.
 Under these conditions the court fined Smith $20 on the charge of illegal cohabitation, and upon the woman s assurance that they would have noth- ing to do with each other until she could get an Arkansas divorce, she was let off without punishment.
 Mrs. Suges stated at the close of the case that she would make appli- cation for divorce that day, charging Suggs with cruelty.

F. c. Wilsey. manager of the Cove Creamery Company, was in Mena Monday and announces that the plant has been sold to Dale Underwood at De Queen and will be at once moved to that place. There it will be run in connection with the ice factory and bottling works. In addition a general produce business will be run.
 The Cove Creamery Company was formed last year with F. c. Wilsey, w. J. Barton and s. s. Smith as equal partners. The enterprise did fairly well and made some money. but Mr, Wilsey says that the busi- ness was handicapped in that facii- ties were lacking which can be had at a larger place. He says he long has known that it would have been muct hotter for the business had it been l. ated at Mena.
 Mr. i9llsey expects to go to De Queen IS manager of the larger business.

THE FARM LECTURES
Experts Who Were Brought by Con- gressman Cravens, Made In-
 terestiug Talks in Mena.

Congressman Ben Cravens is follow ing up the plan he adopted sometime ago of endeavorine to do good for the people of his district, and perhaps for himself by the reflection. and was in Mena last Saturday with two experts on farming, one on Just crops" and one on stock breeding and stock rais- ing for profit. The former, A. D. Me Nair of Little Rock, has been heard here before, but those who had heard his previous talks lost nothing by com ing again, for he had some new ideas and some new ways of illustrating the old ones.
 At the request of Congressman Cravens he devoted some attention to the peanut crop. He stated that in sandy land this crop would produce.al- most twice as many bushels to the acre as corn, and that the usual price was $1 bushel for good nuts. In ad- dition he gave the result of an inter- esting experiment., one that is well worth following in practical farming.
 MT. McNair said that he saw one acre of ground planted to peanuts and another right by it to corn. The corn was gathered and taken off the land. When the peanuts ripened hogs were turned in to harvest the crop. The next year both pieces were planted in cation. The corn land yielded 900 pounds and the peanut land, enriched by the peanuts and hogs, produced 1,770 pounds of cotton. He stated that land that would produce 40 bush els of corn would as easily grow 70 bushels of Spanish peanuts.
 w. F. Ward of Auburn, Ala, spoke on stock raising. He exhibited photo graphs showing the results of breeding common stock hogs and cattle to pure bred sires, and advised against the use of half-breed sires as giving pro eensy of but quarter good blood to three-quarter common. He told how to raise two filters of pigs year from the same SOW. how to best promote growth of the young stock, and gave -,,ch information an how fo raise cheap meat by pasturing and feeding, saying that by proper methods meat could be produced at from 3 to cents pound. while with corn alone il would cost to 8 cents. He urged all interested to write the Department o Agriculture for bulletins giving the re- suit of the experiments and telling how best success could be had.

FEED AND CARE FOR
 THE OLD SOLDIERS
Gen. P. C. Shaver Gives Some Advice to the Managers of the Confeder- ate Reunion to Be Held in
 Little Rock.

When Gen. R. G. Shaver of Mena was appointed as a member of the ad- visory committee in connection with the Confederate Reunion to be held in Little Rock. he wrote letter to Judge W. M. Kavanaugh, urging that more attention be paid to the welfare of the veterans themselves. In part he said:
 The complaints that have follow ed every reunion in the last ten years are that the impecunious old veteran. who makes the struggle of his life to accumulate the money absolutely re- qulred to pay his railroad fare, has never yet received at the hands of the persons charged with that duty the consideration he ought to have above all else to be entitled" !" He ended his letter by stating: If this plain and simple proposition is carried out at Little Rock, Arkansas will have the distinction and glory of establishing new standard of providing for the en- tertainment of the old soldiers of the Coniederacy.
 Chairman Judge W. M. Kavanaugh answers MT. Shavers' letter as follows:
 Our slogan has been to take care of the veterans first and the other vis- tors afterwards, and l believe we are going to be able to carry this policy to it's fruiuon.
  General shaver is proud of the fact that whatever hardship he may have imposed on the soldiers under his command during the war, he made it a rule to feed them. And he thinks that now when they are the honored guests around which great gatherings are drawn, this rule is more to the point than ever.

PENITENTIARY FOR
 A lO-YEAR-OLD BOY
e,orre Alfholter Of Vandervoort, Forged Grandmother's Name to Check Sickness of Mother
 Keeps Judge Steel at Home.

The second week, criminal week in circuit court, opened at 9 Monday morning. Judge Steel was still at the badside of his aged mother at Locks bure and special Judge W. N. Martin was holding court.
 Those who were present in court that morning had the unpleasant ex- nerience of seeing an intelligent, fine looking youth of 19 sentenced to two wears at hard labor in the penitentiary.
 George Alfholter is the boys name. He is the son of Mir. and Mrs. A. Ali halter of Vanderyoort. and he receiv- ed at the hand of Judge Martin the lowest penalty of the law for forgery.
 His case is the story of reckless youth. His first cross up with the law was in minor ways, such as cursing the agent at Vandervoort station. His fines in justice court were not paid by his father, who is highly respected where known, because it was thought such action would do the boy no good.
 The young mans grandmother is Mrs. Nj. J. Wignall. She is relative of the late Russell Sage. and several years ago received snug sum from the Sage estate.
 One evening last winter George AlfhoIter came to Constable J. H. Allen, who was pressing the collection of $17.00 fine against him, and turn ed over a check for $20 bearing his grandmother s name, and received couple of suits of clothing which he had put up with the officer. George left Vandervoort that night. The check was found to be forgery.
 During the last term of circuit court he was arrested down in Little River county by Constable John Allen, but enroute to Mena he secured permis- 1 sion to enter the toilet room and jump ed out of the window and escaped.
 A couple of months ago Deputy Sheriff Ben Gipson again ar rested the young man out at his uncle's in Oklahoma and placed him in the countyjail. When brought into court Monday George seemed ab- solu.ely indifferent. He entered his pie. of guilty and received his sen tence with little show of feeling.
 His old father was with him in l court and accompanied him back to jail.
 To a Star reporter MT. Alfholter said II don't believe my boy is in his right mind, but l hope this will give him his lesson
 T He says he don't care, but know he does. He is brave boy and thinks he must not show any feeling or regret.
 Aside from this case there was little of importance in court Monday. A few misdemeanor cases were disposed of and the grand jury returned twenty more indictments.

worms frequently trouble hogs greatly in the south, and gave as a cheap and effective remedy the following:

and effective remedy the following: bushel hardwood charcoal pounds of salt pounds sulphur
 quarts airslacked lime ? pounds copperas
 Dissolve copperas in hot water and sprinkle oyer the mixture. Let the hogs eat all they want.
 The speaker said that raising beef cattle was the best way to fertilize what is termed waste land. and for this purpose recommended as the best the Hereford, or white faced cattle, and the Black Polled Angus.
 To eliminate ticks he offered the following dip: 10 pounds white arsenic 24 pounds sal soda
 2 gallons pine tar
 500 gallons water Heat 40 gallons water dissolving the arsenic and sal soda, then add pine tar and boil 20 minutes, then mix with balance of water. This must be used in properly ar ranged tank in which cattle are pushed in and allowed to swim out. They must not be allowed to drink the poi sonous water. Bulletins on cattle raising also may be had by writing to the Department of Agriculture or to Congressman Ben Cravens.
 Congressman Cravens says that he feels his efforts in bringing knowledge to the producers through these ex- perts is bearing fruit through the in- creased prosperity of the people in his district.
