| London, Jan. Ga list of royal cos
metics compiled by a Court perfumer
| is being carefully studied and dis
cussed by imitators of royalty and the
| sale of the perfumes, mentioned there
in has gone up tremendously. The IA
| vorite scouts of European queens are:
Queen Mary of England, Eau de-col-
| ogne.
Queen Mother Alexandra, Lily of the
| Valley and Violet.
German Empress, New Mown Hay
Queen of Italy, Neapolitan Vtolets.
Empress of Russia, Jasmine and
Jonquil.
queen of Holland. Eau-de-co1ogne
Queen Mother Alexandra prefers vio-
| let and heliotrope scented soaps and
cosmetics, but she is particularly ex-
acting and never touches anything I'M
| til it has been carefully analysed and
pronounced pure. Her wonderful COM
plexion is eloquent testimony to her
care.
For cosmetics the Queen of Italy
patronizes Roman cream and Palermo
cream, and in fact uses Italian man
ufactures almost exclusively. The
scents obtainabIe, and always has her
apartments lavishly decorated with
fresh violets, hyacinths and gardenfas.
Most of Queen With eInnina's cosmetics
are scented with heltotrope and she
uses a special manufactured ne1io-
trope soap prepared TOT ner III Eng
land.

cally without Tnolestation.

thus sold are between the ages of 10

But the parents seldom get the full
amount deductions being made for

E. Jerome Rogan, the mayor of
SeaView avenue, has returned from a
trip to New York where he acted as
host for a party of East End bellies
and their chaperones. He took the
party to the Hippodrome as his guests
and showed them a good time. Mr.
Rogan wore his new herringbone suit
which stopped all traffic on Fifth
avenue. After enjoying the show the
party had dinner at a fashionable res
taurant. When interviewed later Mr..
Rogan said the beans were very good.

MRS. TOWNSEND DEAD
Well Known Mena Lady Dies al Home of Her Mother in HiWaSSe
 Friday Morning.

A telegram was received Friday morning from w. w. Townsend stating that Mrs. Townsend died at 9 o'clock that morning
 Mrs. Townsend had been ill for several months, and was removed to her mothers home in Hiwasse, Benton county, in hopes that the change of scene would materially assist in an early recovery, and for a time her conditions improved.
 The deceased is survived by her husband and two children, Wallace, aged 10, and Raymond, aged 5 years. She has many friends in Mena who will deeply regret her demise and who sympathize with her husband and family.
 Rev. and Mrs. c. w. Lambert in company with Dennis Townsend, left Friday afternoon for Hiwasse, where interment was made in the fmily burying grounds.

The product is far su- perior to that of most foreign brands and can be sold to the mer- chant as cheap, enabling him to make the same profit.
 "I have told the growers that l will act as agent for them until they can readily find a local market and fill orders sept in.
 q am not in thesgrocery business, and the only benefit that I will re- ceive from the matter is the sails faction of boosting for home pro- ducts and my share of the trade that will go to outside firms if the product of the home farmer is not consumed at hOme."
 Inquiry developed the fact that there will be at least fifteen addi- tional farmers who will enter the growing and canning business next season.

BIG BATTLE AT CHIHUAHUA.
Federals Are Hard Pressed by an
 Army of 1000 Rebels.

City of Mexico, Nov. 9.-A tele- gram last night from the American consul at Chihuahua confirms the reports that big battle between federals and rebels has been raging there. The telegram says General Villas. leading seven thousand well equipped and armed Constitutional ists, has been attacking Chihuahua the last seventy-two hours, but that the town had not been captured at s o'clock last night.
 It is believed here that the su- preme effort is being made at Chi huahua in order to impress on the American administration that the Constitutionalists, if permitted to import arms from the United States, will be able to oust Huerta and re- store peace quickly.

Commenting on Premier As quith's Guild Hall speech in which he made it plain that no antago- nism exists between England and the United States in regard to Mexico, the Gazette says:
 The idea that any valid election in the sense in which democratic or constitutional countries under stand the word-can be held in Mexico, is probably diplomatic fiction, but the electoral test was ot General Huerta's own choosing; and 1t is we'll to keep him reminded that his failure to conform to it's result leaves all governments free to re- consider their act of recognition.

ANOTHER DEGREE FOR T. R.
Colonel EulOgized and Made Doctor of Laws by Argentine University.

Beunos Aires, Argentina, Nov. IO. The university today conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws on Colonel Roosevelt. In an address the former foreign minis ter, Estanislao Zebalos, eulogized the eX-presidenJ of the United States and his policy towards Pan anna. The speaker gave it as his opinion that the United States must dominate the Caribbean Sea- other wise the republics of that section would invite European intervention.
 Senor Zebalos declared nowadays the Argentine Republic did not ac- cept the protection of the Monroe Doctrine but it did accept the Pan Americanism. This did not mean hostility to Europe, however, as that continent supplied both immi- grafton and capital 10 the country.

Jack Connally, one of the pro gressive farmers of the Mountain Fork region, was in Mena on busl- ness last week. He says that crops practically all have been gathered and that the returns average much better than expected and conditions among the people are generally very good. He says he has re ceived much benefit from the farm demonstration work, and he believes if has been even more valuable to his boys and to boys generally, doing much to interest them in agriculture and make them satis- fed with the farm. He was very sorry to have it discontinued in Polk county.

Prominent Mena Citizen Married to Miss Johnnie Dunbar at Bonneville

Monday night, at the home of the brides parents in Bonneville, J. H. Naler, one of Menas most highly respected and prominent citizens, was married to Miss Johnnie Dun bar.
 In speaking of the bride, the Bonneville Progress says: Miss Johnnie, as everyone lovingly called her, has been a prominent person. age in social and church work here ever since coming 10 the city. She is universally loved for her kind ness and courtesy to all, and all who know her are sure she is well worthy the man she has chosen for a life companion. They will make their future home in Mena, and we can heartily commend Miss Johnnie to the people with whom her lot is cast as one of Natures noble women"

SEEKING MARKET FOR
 HOME CANNED GOODS
Polk County Producers Have Offer From Mail Order Houses, but Pre- fer to Deal Through Local
 Dealers-IIave Selected Agent

There is consumed in Mena ev- cry year at least 5000 worth of canned fruits and vegetables, said a prominent farmer Friday. Almost enough, and perhaps there is more than enough grown and canned in Polk county, to supply the entire local market. But we can not get merchant i'll the city of Mena that will handle our product. We now have an organization and will endeavor to create a local mar ket.
 One of our members wrote to Sears, Roebuck X Company and to Montgomery Ward X Company, stat ing that we grew and canned corn, peaches and other fruits, but made a specially of tomatoes, submitting them samples of our products, ana both firms replied that they would gladly purchase the entire output in carload lots, but intimated that they would expect some trade from our members. We do not want to be compelled to depend upon these Dlg mail order houses for the sale of our goods, neither do we want to be compelled to feel obligated to pur- chase from them. We prefer to be boosters for home patronage.
 ''As to the quality of our product, we are willing to remove the labels from our cans and from the cans of any high grade goods and let three disinterested parties be the judge. This is a fair proposition, and we are more than willing to back 1t up.
 Some of our members have called on local merchants, and we were put off with the excuse that they were full stocked on canned goods, or that they could buy out side goods just as cheap.
 What do you think of that? Ihey do not or will not realize that If they bought Polk county products all the money would remain at home. not a very small percentage of it as under the present condi- tions. If they will not furnish us a market what are we to do? We be- lieve in reciprocity, and will prac- tice it. Tn other words, you tickle us and we will tickle you.
 We have arranged with Bert Cauley of the Variety Store to make his place of business depositary and we will try first to find a home market and not go to outside par ties unless forced to-"
 A representative of The Star called on Mir. Cauley and asked him for further information regarding the depositary for the local can ners.
 "I am doing this solely in order that may do what I can to assist in establishing local market for the product of the farmers of the county" said Mir. Cauley There are a great many who now are mak- ing a specially of growing fruits and vegetables and canning them for the market. and next year the output will be greatly increased. They must find a market, and I prefer that it be a home one. The money will not do Mena or Polk county much good if it does not stay here. If the merchant buys outside the
