TO keep Up BOYS
CORN CLUB WORK
A. Il. Wear. Retiring As Farm Dem
onstratOr, Proposes 10 Aid In
Keeping Organization Going
in Polk County.

A. f. Wear of Board Camp, who
has done much TO make The Boys
Corn Club Of Polk County the sue
cess il has proven to be the past
season, has determined to see the
good work continued, word that
will bring much satisfaction to
many earnest, ambitious boys, as
well as their parents.
Mr. Wear has completed his sec
ond year as farm demonstration
agent for Polk county, and has a
record that is very gratifying to
those who have taken part in the
work, and to those officials of the
Agricultural department under
whom he has worked.
On receipt of a notice from the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, from which the following
is printed, Mr.. Wear made his de-
cision:
I'VE are now making up our en-
rollment of the Boys Corn Clubs
for 1912. We are very anxious to
get just as soon as possible the
names and addresses of all the boys
who are to be in the work next
year. We want to send circulars
on Seed Selection" and Fall
Flowing" and record blanks to new
members before the new year be-
gins. We are getting some splen-
did reports from the boys for this
year, but if we can get our club
members to select their seed corn
and thoroughly prepare their acres
now, we shall surpass all previous
records in 1912.
ALLOW me to suggest that you
take advantage Of the exhibit and
reporting season and make Wig
orous campaign now for a good en-
Irollment of earnest boys. If all Of
your 1911 members wish to con-
tinue another year, please let us
know so that we can transfer this
years list to 1912"
After receiving the above, Mr..
Wear prepared the following:
Mr.. Wear TO the Boys.
In compliance with the above re-
quest | am asking the boys of Polk
county who wish to join the club
for 1912 to send me their names and
addresses as early as possible, so
that we may start in time to make
a good showing. Let us have a big
club in this county and go after
some of those big state premiums
as we'll as the prizes offered in the
county. All members of the 1914
club who wish to continue in the
work should send their names, as
well as the new boys.
Yours for a big corn club,
A. e. Wear.

SOCIALISTS LOSE
IN Los ANGELES
Mayor Alexander Reelected With
Entire Government Ticket
More Women Than Men
Voted.

Los Angeles, Dec. 6.--The entire
Socialist ticket was defeated in the
municipal election yesterday, Mayor
Alexander being reelected and the
entire Good Government ticket vic
toricns by a majority that will
amount to 10000. The victory was
an overwhelming one, and the So
cialists are disappointed beyond ex-
preston.
The prohibition amendment was
defeated by a large majority.
That the unexpected termination
of the Mcnamara case was a great
factor in determining the results
of yesterdays election is generally
admitted.
Persons who would not vote for
Alexander simply stayed away
from the polls" says Chairman
Graham of the Good Government
forces.
The victorious ticket consists of
Mayor Alexander and nine council
men, including bankers, lawyers,
merchants and realty brokers.
In the defeated Socialist ticket,
led by Hartman, lawyer for the
McNamaras, there was one real es-
tate dealer, a former editor of a
morning newspaper, and several
labor leaders.
1.-The Peace Insurance Army" of
1000 officers, had little to do to
maintain order. Order and seren-
ity prevailed, and leaders on both
sides thanked the women, thous-
ands of whom crowded about the
polling booths.
The women were treated with the
greatest gallantry. Many mothers
went to the polls pushing baby car
riages, and often papa took care
of baby while mamma voted.
Women Votes in Majority.
As the count progresses Alexand-
, er's majority is somewhat reduced
and statements were made by cleo
ton officials that women cast near
ly $4,000 ballots, or more than half
the total vote. The effect Of this
was shown today by statements of
former active opponents of suffrage
that they had been converted
Election board members declar-
cd that the women not only out
voted the men in nearly all the
precincts, but showed more apti-
tude in handling the ballots.
The women voted against prohi-
bition.

Board Camp, Ark.

The Star and The Democrat will
follow up this work as during the
past season, and will publish all
possible information of value to the
club, together with calls for meet
ings and any other features to pro-
mote the work.
Don't forget the fine results of
i9li-5S.5 bushels of corn and
1906 SO pounds of seed cotton as
an average for the boys of Polk
county who grew these crops.
These are high marks to excel,
but there have been much better
years for these crops than 1911,
and 1912 may be one.

TO RAISE A ROW
WITH old RUSSIA
Representative William Sulzer Pre-
diets Early Abrogation OF Treaty
by United States Because of
Treatment OF Jews.

New York, Dec. Tiff the United
States would seek relief from Rus
sias repeated violation OF the
treaty of 1882, she must do il now
There can be no arbitration, no de-
lay. So declared Representative
William Sulzer, chairman of the
house committee on foreign rela-
tons. in addressing at Carnegie Hall
last night mass meeting called to
protest against Russia's policy to-
ward American citizens of Jewish
faith.
Russia has acted boldly and
shamefulIy, he said, and he con-
cluded with a prediction that legis-
lation abrogating the treaty will
soon be enacted.
Mr.. Sulzer said in part:
'srhe treaty with Russia says
American citizens are entitled TO
the same rights in Russia that Rus
sian citizens are accorded here. If
these rights are not granted Them
then the treaty is violated. Russia
does not deny That she diserimi-
mates against certain classes of our
citizens, and when complaint is
made, flguratively speaking, she
shrugs her shoulders and asks,
What are you going to do about
ito
1--WE have carefully lived up to
our treaty obligations with Russia
Every Russian coming to this coun-
try has been granted all the rights
stipulated in the treaty. irrespec-
tive OF race or religion. This is our
conception of the treaty of 1882.
what are we going to do about
it? Our answer is: Abrogate the
treaty.
This is not a Jewish question. 1t
is an American question. 1t in
wolves a great principle. 1t affects
the rights of all American citizens.
Russia not only refuses TO recog-
nlze American passports held by
Jews on account of their race, but
she also refuses to recognize Ameri-
can passports held by Baptist mis-
sionaries, Catholic priests, presby-
terrain divines and others on ac-
count of their religious belief.
Behind the movement which has
crystalized under the auspices OF
the national citizens committee, are
the big men of every race working
as brothers in a common interest.
THE Russion treaty must be alb
rogated ere the adjournment of this
present session of congress. The
people are aroused as they never
have been before over the question.
and the time for action has come.
There can be no arbitration, no
delay s ...se matter must be settled
once for all time, and a new treaty
arranged in which Russia can find
no loophole to enable her to dis
eriminate against any class of
American citizens"
Speeches were made by men in
the United States senate. the
speaker Of the house Of represen-
tatiyes, several members of that
body, the head of Cornell univer-
sity and several others. Every
speaker brought out the idea that
the passport question was not one

honor. Conspicuous points in some

motion of one jointists for the return
of his team and wagon.
While not going so far as to order
the destruction of this property, Judge
stiles refused to return it to the owner.
The question of the right of the state
to seize teams is a moot one. but Gov
ernor Stubs has directed Sheriff
Bramlette to hinder the Illicit sale of
beer by keeping the teams out of the
hands of the joint men until the lid
is screwed down tight enough to pre-
vent it slipping Immediately.
