\ GIFT TO READERS.

Some weeks ago a good friend asked the editor of The Star to tell him which of the large number of farm publications he considered most valuable.
 The question was a pOser-One that could not be answered offhand. But it called attention to something worth studying.
 To decide between the many worthy papers of this class is task that flew would care to undertake. Therefare many things to consider, and each investigator probably would come 10 a different conclu- sion.
 BuM1he Stars investigations lead to the. conclusion that of all these excellent publications, none is of more value to the Arkansas agricul- turist than the Arkansas Home stead, published at Little Rock. This is an excellent paper for Arkansas people. It deals directly with Ar kansas conditions and Arkansas problems, and it's editors and con tributors are Arkansas men, each of whom stands high in his partic- ular field of endcavOr.
 And following this conclusion The Star Publishing Company has decided to do something out of the ordinary for its Polk county friends
 It will give to each subscriber to The Weekly Star or The Polk County Democrat who pays a full year in advance the above named splendid farm journal one year ab- sOlutely free-that is. to all who ask fer it.
 This offer applies to either Go" subscriptions or renewals.
 Arrangements have been made by which a sample copy of the Arkan- sas Homestead will be received al an early date by each reader of The Star and The Democrat in Poll county. Look this sample over note the class of contributors .anC the high standard of the papers and then send in your names.
 The purpose of this offer is tC encourage the people of Polk coun- ty to read and study and thereby better their crops and conditions.
 The effort will cost a good deal ir outlay of money and effort, but ii it benefits Polk county and it's peO- pie the reward will have beer sufficient.
 Take advantage of this splendid offer.

THE KILLING OF MADERO.

Despite the effort of the United States to have the life of Francisco I. Madero spared, it is pretty evil dent that the deposed Mexican president was murdered by his captors by the notorious Mexican custom, the fugitive law" as was his brother a few days before. Tn truth, Woodrow Wilson will have a great temptation before him when he becomes President. The troops and equipment all will be ready to invade our Southern neighbor, and there are plenty of excuses if such are sought. But perhaps the fact that the greatest sufferers from such invasion would be the inno- cent instead of the guilty may re- strain him.
 Madero was a brave man andsa good one-too merciful and too s.easy" to deal with the people whom he undertook to govern. ..s-a.
