JAPAN APPROVES
 BRYA\'S PEACE PLAN

Washington, June 2.-Viscount Chinda, the ambassador from Japan, late today called upon Secretary Bryan with formal notification that Japan had accepted in principle the proposed plan advanced by the United States for universal peace.
 Signatories of the treaty pro posed in Mr. Bryan's plan would agree to refrain from hostilities for a period of at least nine months while any conflicting claims were under consideration by an interna- tiOnal joint commission.
 In the case of Japan, as with the ten other nations that have re- ceived the proposal favorably, the response applies solely to the gen. eral principle involved, and none has committed itself to approval of any of the details of the project. Therefore, it may be many months before the tentative draft of the convention, which MT Bryan sub mitted to the various embassies and legations, can be reduced to a form which will receive the un- qualified approval.

POLK COUNTY THE BEST.
Ira Smith Tells of Prosperity That
 Will Come If We Try.

With Mrs. Smith I left Mena on May B, arriving at Chattanooga for the Confederate Reunion on the 23th. After attending the reunion. We made a visit to Mrs. Smiths birthplace in White county. This was my first trip east of the Mis- slsslppi, and l found the towns prosperous, the farmers living in good homes, with plenty to eat. and fine stock, although the land is very poor and washes badly. After trav- cling Tn every county in every state west of the Mississippi and making this trip 10 Tennessee, I have come back to Mena, The Hub of inc Universe" believing that if every one will work and pull together as they do in other sections we will have a country that will rival the famous valley of the Nile in point ol pIOuuCllNeneSS.
 What Mena needs is a wagon fac tory, chair factory and spoke and handle factory, such as has Me Mlnnvllle, Tenn. Our timber is better and we are located nearer inc middle west and can get better prices. We have men in Polk conn ty who could finance such indn- tries as these, which would tend to improve our town and county Polk county land produces better fhan the land of Tennessee, so lers mil together in building up our town county, waterworks, light plant and schools and churches.

PART II.

PAhl II.
 Parents ought to know person. .allv lhe teachers that have charge of their children. Yes, they ought to cultivate them, live in close touch with them, in person or by letter: and their sympathy and con- fidence ought to be mutual. The destiny of the child is involved, and unless you know the man or the woman who has charge of the training of the child you are in no position to be helpful in the tuition and guidance of the child. Parents ought to be in sympathy with the teacher actively, and cooperate with him in all plans for the inn proyement and progress of the child in matters of study. No parents have done their duty when they simply turn the child over to the teacher and dismiss the matter.
 The right sort of parents make l it their business to know what manner of man OF woman it is who i, charged with this grave respon- sibihty, and then give Co such man OF woman every possible co-opera- ton in the training and develop ment of the child. Teachers should make a study of each child and their several needs. There are di- versailles of gifts among children as well as grown people.
 Teachers are under the gravest responsibilities. The most exact ing duties are required of them. The highest standard of efficiency iS required of them. They should go into this great responsible work with due consideration and a real sense of the importance of the work. The teachers of any com- uunity ought to be held in very high esteem. They are not merely servants of the public; they are the best heritage that the community possesses. Their position ought to be regarded as the post of honor and their efforts of the highest commendation. They are entitled to the respect, the confidence. the esteem, the love and inc gratitude of every good man and woman in the country. For next to the min lstry they are the dominant factors in the progress of civilization.

THE NEW ROAD LAW.

Judge w. \. Martin is studying the new state road law, and he is firmly impressed with the idea that it is going to do much for good roads in Arkansas. He is going to meet next Tuesday at Ashdown with other county judges of this part of the state, when it is hoped that plans can be made to use the powers of the new act.
 That is good as far as it goes, and here's hoping it goes far.
 But there ought to be some way found to AT ONCE make some of our main roads passable, and when that is done, keep them that way.
 No road system is going to be eff fective that does not provide for constant supervision and attention based on the stitch in time" prin- ciDle..

A MOVE FOR PROSPERITY.

A condition has arisen in Poll county this season. at least in spots
 that has been much desired foI years, and now that it is here, call: for action.
 Several years age it was the talk of the community that a creamery should be established in Mena, and some steps were taken in that di- rection, but the plans fell through because there was not enough milk and cream production. Of course. this production never can fully de- velop until the producers are as sured of an outlet, but that is not always considered.
 But times have changed in the last two years. There now are more good cows hereabouts, and the time has arrived when there is actually more good to extra good butter made than can be well mar keted in Mena. This, then, calls for a wider market. and the most prac- tical way to secure this seems to be through a creamery or cream station, where the surplus. together with great deal not now brought to market can be turned readily into money.
 Probably the latter would be the best at first. A little time devoted to organization would bring to Mena three or four times a week a constantly-growing amount of cream, and this would bring high prices in Kansas City or other mar kets, thus causing a constant stream of prosperity-creating money to pour into our county.
 Scattered all about Mena are farms where from two to eight or ten cows are owned, and with lit- tie organization each settlement or neighborhood could arrange to send its combined product to the station in town, or wagons might be sent over regular routes to gather the cream on set days.
 The production of butter fat is an industry that means the build ing up of our farms and the en- richment of our farmers. It en- courages raising of better and more stock. and makes it easy for those with comparatively small means to secure an immediate income. who otherwise could hardly get a start A newcomer or settler with a few hundred dollars invested in COWS. with a ready market for cream, could be assured of a living while he made his first crop.
 Then it would increase the pro- duction of forage-and no country, you know. can ever prosper that does not produce it's own forage. the farmers or the country. It be- hooVes interests of Mena to get busy and take an interest in the pro- ject. Mena can only prosper with Polk county, and Polk county can only prosper as it produces and markets the things that bring into it ready money.
 This is an opportune time to make a good move for prosperity
