S. c. NJ. A. READY
FOR YEARS WORK
Stockholders Of Mena's Canning and
Shipping Corporation Hold Annual
Election Good Attendance and
Much Interest Shown.


The annual meeting for the election
OF the board of directors for the pres
ent year Of the Shipping. Canning and
Manufacturing Association was held
at the Office of Attorney T. A. Berke-
bile last Friday afternoon. The meet
ing was presided over by A. L. Dur
ham, president. and good majority
of the stock holders were present.
The selection OF the Board of Directors
resulted in retaining all the members
Of the old board except S. d. Allen,
who could not remain on the board be-
cause his position as conductor on the
Kansas City Southern compels him to
be away from Mena a greater portion
Of his time. In Mr.. Aliens pla 70 G.
f. Davis. who recently located here
and purchased the Sleeper orchard
and farm north of Mena, was elected
to the board. The men who compose
the new Board Of Directors are: G. +.
Davis, A. L. Durham, H. 2. Fowler.
George Sunderman and X. r. St. John.
A committee composed Of j. r.
May, j. M. Hawthorne and S. G. Rey-
nolds was selected Friday to de-
eide on what crops should be grown
by the members of the association.
This committee decided that the crops
should consist of the following
Early potatoes. Bliss variety; Toma-
toes. Stone variety; Cantelopes, netted
Rocky Ford; Sweet potatoes, Yellow
Yam or some equally yellow variety.
On this basis A. L. Durham was
selected to see all members of the as
sociation and contract the full amount
of acreage to be grown. A call meet
ing of the stockholders will be held at
Mr.. Berkebile' S Office Saturday, Febru-
airy IL, when Mr.. Durham will make
his report and full details for planting
will be considered.
The result of Fridays meeting
gives promise of greater success for
the association this year. There were
several new men at Fridays meet
ing and a member joined and subscrib-
ed for stock In the corporation.
Last year the company was badly
handicapped by the fact late frost
almost ruined a greater part of the
acreage planted to tomatoes and pota-
toes and the acreage in cantelopes
was not sufficient to get out carload
shipments promptly. Regardless of
this it was demonstrated that there is
money to be made in growing cante-
loupes for shipping. and the tomatoes
canned found quick sale and the quail
| ity as packed made the home grown
and home canned brand very popular.

History Of Case.
Fred D. Warren, editor OF the social
istic Appeal TO Reason, Yves found
guilty in the United States Court at
Fort Scott. Kas.. on May 8. 1910. on a
charge Of inisusine the United States
mails. He sent out envelopes on which
was printed an offer OF 81 900 reward
for the return Of Ex-Governor Taylor
OF Kentucky to that state to answer a
charge Of having killed Goebel.
Warren was sentenced to six months
in jail and was fined 81 500. He APP
pealed to the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals at St. Paul and the
sentence was sustained. November II .
The order Of commitment to prison.
however, was held up by President
Taft until he COMMITTED the sentence
today. Warren never was in jail. but
was ready to 90 at any time.
Warren's reason for publishing the
offer of reward for Taylor grew out ofthe
kidnapping Of Meyer. Haywood and
Pettibone Of the Western Miners Fed
Grafton from Colorado and taking them
to Idaho to stand trial on the charge
Of numbering Governor Steunenberg.
They appealed to the supreme court,
asking whether they could be legally
held in Idaho. after being taken forci-
bly, and without process Of law into
the jurisdiction of the Idaho courts.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the
nose and throat are exposed to the
irritating influence of dust, impure
air, ETC., and for this reason are
the places Catarrh usually first
manifests itself. But these are
simply exciting causes, the inRam-
NATION and discharge being really
produced by an impure and uitinted
condition of the blood. IL is weu
enough to use some local treatment
to cleanse these membranes, but
any one can readily see that If
the inRammatory matter is left in
the blood, such treatment cannot
possibly have any permanent effect.
S. SIS. cures Catarrh by purifying
the blood of all impure catarrhal
matter and irritating germs and at
the same time builds up the system
by its fine tonic effects. When
S. S. S. has purified the blood, the
mucous surfaces are all nourished
and made healthy. There can be no
inflammation of the membranes
then, because the blood is pure, and
every tissue receives nourishment in
stead of irritating matter. Our book
on Catarrh will give proper advice as
to what is best to use as a local aid
while S. S. S. is purifying the blood.
This book is free, also any special
advice you may feel you need.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.
