to the company of the purchase OF

connection he has under advisement
a system of telephones attached TO the
trolley poles at half mile distances
along the outlying lines, by means of
which communication may be had with
the nearest car house, in case of an
emergency. The trucks. such as

LABORERS HAVE
Been SUSPENDED

All track work on the Rock
Island railroad in this vicinity is
temporarily suspended and more
than three hundred laborers, chiefly
Mexicans and other foreigners, have
been laid off until the first of next
month. This is due, say officials of
the company. to the fact that the Sep,
TENDER appropriation has been ex.
h2usted. and rather than to dissipate

best to let the men loaf for the next

it seems to be his turn. but he does not stop long to hear life stories or discursive expeditions into lm- material topics; and some of the Arkansas folks who like to hold men up for chats condemn him for being selfish.
 The truth of it is, Joe T. is ambi- tious and largely concerned with the affairs of Joe T., which has a tendency to discourage conversa- ton on his part concerning the af- fairs of others; but those who know him best say he is warm-hearted, loyal, and a mighty good fellow. They think well of him in the Sen ate, for he has been given important committee assignments; and he is quite likely to stir up things over there one of these days. Any man who was born in 1872 and has been so expeditiously on his way as Joe T. will not sit in the Senate and let the moss grow on him, even if the atmosphere of that repOseful place is conducive to the growth of moss which it is, and of other noiselesS fungi too numerous to mention in- cluding gum shoes and rubber tires.

POULTRY AND LIVESTOCK.

Notice in this issue the article that shows that Missouri is the leader of the United States in egg and poultry production. Read the figures, see what the s0'li ;s, and then think that this industry is, generally speaking, looked upon as a side line for the farm. Then note that the Ozark region" Southwest Missouri, is the greatest producer in the state. When that has been absorbed, take a look at the last census report of the nation, and you will see that it asserts that the Ozark region, Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas, is the bes; country in the United States for poultry. Then, while on the sub ject, give thought to local condi- tions-the climate, the altitude, the water, of Polk county, Arkansas.
 When the people of Polk county learn all these things, take to grow ing poultry, raising sheep, goats, cattle-produce and milk cows and market the product-then we will have the real prosperity.

THANKSGIVING DAY FIXED.
President Wilson Issues Proclama-
 ton Naming November ?.

Washington, Oct. 23.-president Wilson today designated Thursday, November 27, as Thanksgiving day and issued the following. his first Thanksgiving proclamation
 The season is at hand in which 1t has been our long respected custom as a people to turn in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His manifold mercies and bless lngs to us as nation.
 The year that has just passed has been marked in a peculiar de- gree hy manifestations of His gra- cious and beneficial providence. We have not only had peace throughout our own borders and with the na- tions of the world, but that peace has frightened by constantly multi plying evidences of genuine friend ship, of mutual sympathy and un- derstanding, and of the happy op- eratlon of many elevating influences both Of ideal and practice.
 The nation has been prosperous not only, but has proved it's ca paclty to take calm counsel amidst the rapid movement of affairs and deal with it's own life in a spirit of candor, righteousness and comity. We have seen the practical com pletlon of a great work at the Tsth- mus or Panama, which not only ex- empllties the nations abundant re- sources to accomplish what if will and the distinguished skill and ca paclty of it's public servants hut also promises the beginning of n new age, of new contacts new inelghborhood, new sympathies new bonds and new achievements of co- operation and peace.

WITH THE KANSAS CITY
 SOUTHERN'S EXHIBIT CAR
I'd T. Wolfe, in Charge, Writes of Seeing Friends of Mena People
 About Pleas.
Russell, Kas., oct. 2i, 1913.

Russell, Kas., Oct. 24, 1915. To Mena and Polk County Friends:
 We are having delightful wealth CT; no need for fire in the car. The car has been full of people all day and they say seeing the exhibit IS like going to the state fair. Ther' have been added from time to time many fine specimens of grain, fruit and vegetables, until 1 have no room for anything more.
 This town has many buildings, storerooms and dwellings, built of stone, and is very pretty town. It is the former home of F. J. Smith, who bought the beautiful Mena home of Mrs. A. w. St. John, and also of A. c. Hollinger, who now lives out near Ransom, east of Mena. Both these families were in- quired about by dozens of people today. MT. Smith was county clerk here, and his many friends were de- lighted to see the apples from his orchard, and asked me all about his home. They asked me if the fleas were awful bad down there. I told them they never bothered me, and that I never heard of them bother ing anyone else. I referred them to MT. Smith and told them to write and ask him about the feas.
 While at Wichita we had two pleasant visits from Mr. and Mrs Henry Legate and Mr. and Mrs. Wadlow: also Mrs. Bagshaw, a sis ter of Mrs. Bagshaw of Mena. On our route we saw a sister of B. s. Petefish of Acorn, and Mir. and Mrs. Walker. Mr. Walker is an engi- neer, and used 10 run out of Mena.
 At Lincoln I saw an old time friend of w. P. Harman and Joe Jackson. Also met Al Easterday's nephew, who is an engineer on the Union Pacific railway, and many old time friends of Mr. Easterday, who were glad to hear from him, and asked many questions, about him. s+ s
 We have hundreds of people visit the car every day, and all are sur prised to see what is grown along the Kansas City Southern railway. We open the car to visitors at 8 a. m. and close at ' p. m., and are busy every hour. I got letter to- day from Carl Barham. He is well and doing fine
 With best wishes, am,
 Respectfully yours.

WAS WEEK OF MUCH RAIN.
Freeze This Morning Killed Most
 Tender Vegetation.

The week ending with Tuesday, October 2S, had precipitation far in excess of the average for this time of year, the total being BOA inches. The cold wave that began to be felt about sundown of the 28th con- tinued through the night, carrying the temperature down to 28 degrees and proved fatal to great part of the tender vegetation.
 Killing frosts in Mena during the past twelve years have occurred as follows: November t7, 1903; No- vember fl, 1904; October 2i, 1905; October 10, 1906; November i2, 1907; October 24, 1908; November 17, 1909; October 29, 1910; October g, 1911 {; November 2, 1912.

MISSOURI IS EGG CHAMPION.
The Poultry Product of the State in
 1912 Was 4S1s Million.

Jefferson City, Oct. 26.-Poultry and eggs to the value of SiS,678,- 2lO were sold in-19i2 by the farm CTS and poultry raisers of Missouri, according to tentative figures on this industry given out for publi- cation by John T.. Fitzpatrick, com missioner of the bureau of labor statistics.
 The bulletin goes on to state that the shipments of poultry, eggs and feathers from the IA counties of the state to the large markets for the same year, were worth S30,9Q2, l16. These figures were record breakers and, therefore, mean that Missouri is still the Poultry Queen of the Union," a title which was be- slowed four years ago when Mis- souri took first rank for this indus try over all other states.
 Eggs bring in more than all poul- try, both in live or in dressed form. The shipments amounted to i05, 575,757 dozens, which, at fifteen cents dozen, low wholesale value for the year around, made them worth $i5,836,364. Farmers and poultry raisers sold locally 52,787,- 87S more dozens. When the ship ments and home consumption of eggs are added together, it gives sales amounting to 5S,363,635 doz- ems, valued at 23,754,545.
 Every county in Missouri is now a poultry producer, but the Ozark section takes the lead in quantity produced and value. Greene coun- ty, with Springfield as the center, for 1912, ranks first in the quantity of eggs shipped out. Returns from the railroad and express agents there show that 8,t02,460 dozens left that county in the year.

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct ?. Continued heavy cattle liquida- ton last week forced values 10 to 30 cents lower on everything but the best eorn-fed animals. Country buying was heavy, 35,000 head, built ran more to stock grades than heretofore. Choice fed steers ad- vanced i0 to t5 cents last week, and best COWS, heifers and yearlings held steady. The run of 230OO cattle here today could not be handled at steady prices were it not for a supply of 3i,000 head at Chi cago, and a 10 to 20-cent break there. Best fed steers are selling steady, tops at s920, and other cat tie are steady to 10 lower. Some stock cattle and butcher grades have arrived at Buffalo, and few trains of Western Canada rangers at Chicago. Beef cattle prices at To- ronto have advanced to a parity with Buffalo, and there is no ln- centive for shipping steers across the border. Such Argentine beei as has arrived in this country IS middle and low class, correspond- ing to that which comes from American steers selling at S or less. Kansas grass steers are sell ing at S6.50 to $S.75. Some Kansas steers sold in Chicago last week Tor less than the Kansas City bid on them for the reason that Chicago Killers claim Kansas cattle winch have been fattened on other than corn ration, produce dark colored meat, which is discounted at East ern outlets for Chicago beef. The word has been passed along to stop Kansas cattle at Kansas City, as tle Southern outlet served from hers does not object to the dark coloreu meat. Colorado cattle are coming freely, good native Colorados sei, ing at S6.75 to $7.25, Arizonas anu other foreign cattle grazed in Co,o- rado selling at $6.f0 to s6.6O, Cov- rado cows S5.50 to S7. Panhandle yearlings sell at $6.50 to S7.5O, cows SAC to $5.75. heifers up to So.y@ calves $6 to $S.50.

PAY-UP TIME.

EndeaVoring through all the year to extend every courtesy it's patrons can ask, The Star feels that during the last two months of the year it's readers who are in arrears should put forth the little effort necessary to balance their subscrlp- ton accounts. And. aside from the fact that the money due is needed, there is a further reason for mak- ing this request: Whenever pa per is sent to a reader who is more than one year behind, it is viola ton of postal rules and may cause embarrassment to the publisher And this point has been stretched for a good many of our friends.
 Despite the higher cost of all that goes toward the issuing of a news paper, this publication has declined to follow the lead of those who have increased the subscription price, and at the same time cer- tainly is not excelled in size or quality by any county paper in Ar kansas. if in neighboring states. It desires to give the best service, and is proud to represent Polk county, and wants the people of Polk coun- ty to have a paper they can, with pride, exhibit to their friends from any place or state. To enable us to keep this up. they must help by at least paying the low price asked.
 With this short statement, it is but fair to request all readers who are in arrears to make an early settlement-at least before the New Year.
 Examine the date stamped on your paper or on the wrapper label. It shows the time your subscription expires.
 Give us a lift and enable us to continue to serve you. .s-..
