OVERSEERS IN SESSION
County Road Builders Will Co., Operate in Making Better High
 way in Polk County.

Polk county entered in earnest the statewide movement for bet ter roads last week when several of the county road oVerseers met in Mena at the call of County Judge Martin and pledged themselves to cooperate with other districts in road work.
 Those present at the meeting were:
 J. II. Bratcher, District l.
 <. Stakemiller, District ?
 E. D. Lewis District :.
 Isaac Saurbaugh, District II.
 M. D. Smallwood District l0.
 ". E. Davis, District 16.
 J. J. Watson, District 1T.
 It was agreed that Judge Martin should issue a call for two days of general road work as soon as pos sjble to properly organize for such, after a rain. as it is impossible 10 do effective work under the present dry conditions.
 The work is to he confined as much as possible to the Old Line road. but in districts that are not ou this highway the oVerseers will work on inc most important roads.
 Several present say that those living in their districts are cnthu- siastic in the cause of Good Roads. and that there will be a great amount of volunteer work.
 Where two road districts connect the overscers will aid each other by lending machinery and labor.
 The progress of the work will be reported to The Star and as much publicity as possible will be given to the progress made.

BANK CLOSED; THE
 CASHIER IS IN JAIL
Books of Bank of EVertOn, in Boone County, Are Being Investigated by an Expert AccOuntant-
 Who Is F. Harris?

Harrison. Ark" Sept. 9.-The bank of Evcrlon, located in the eX- lreme southeastern part of this county. suspended today following the arrest yesterday of NJ. l., Korfl, the cashier. KorG is in jail at Har- rison on default of bond. The banks books are being investigated by an expert accountant.
 Recently the Newton County Bank has notified the officers of the Bank of Everton to give a statement of the cashiers check of S4,OOO drawn a few days ago in favor of E. Harris and the worthless and perhaps bogus draft with which Harris paid for it.
 It is alleged that E. Harris came into the bank a few days ago, was allowed to fill out a cashiers check for Si.O00, and paid for it with a draft. He sent the cashiers check for deposit to the Newton County Bank. which refused to accept 1t and returned it to the Bank of Ev- erton, asking that an exchange draft be given in it's stead.
 By this time the Bank of EVerton had found that the draft which E. Harris had paid for the cashiers check was worthless and perhaps bogus.

this sort their pitching has got to be
almost unbeatable to give them a

Another important point is that the

two--one from the Cubs and one

I've picked the Athletics to win this
coming head-on collision for the big
stuff in baseball, but that doesn't
mean that | figure the Giants weak.
Any club good enough to win three
pennants is a regular ball club. and.
you can jerk it from me the Giants
are a regular ball club. and, you can
jerk il from me, McGraw is a regular
manager, with accent on every word.
There are two, or rather three.
things that impress me concerning
the Giants
First, they have McGraw, one of
the greatest "a 5eball leaders that
ever led a team.
Second. they have one of the best
pitching STATS / ever saw in Mathew
son, Marquard. Demaree. Tesreau
and FrOmme.
Mathewson is a wonderful guy TO
haze in a series of this kind. for he
is at his best under fire. He's always
there and always there with the best
he's got.
Marquard. too. is a lot better than
he was two years ago and will be a
hard man for the Athletics to beat.
even harder than Mathewson, for the
Athletics are not giving any three
cheers over southpaw pitching Mar
guard has steadied now, and he al
ways had the stuff.
Then there's young Demaree. a
cool head and a strong arm-a begin

recruit I ever saw under fire.

speed. He has the fastest ball club
