WANTS DATA FOR
 INCONSISTENCIES
Gov. Hays Asks Each County Judge in State to Supply Information as to Natural Resources and
 Live Stock Of County.

Little Rock, Aug. Ex-Governor Hays desires to secure data of a definite nature relative to the resources of the state that can be used in supplying information to prospective investors and home seekers. To do this he is directing the following letter to each county judge of the state:
 Being desirous of furthering the welfare of our great state i'll every way possible, and it occurring that the compilation of the states natu- ral resources and the benefits de- rived therefrom would be of in calculable value as an advertising medium, take this method of re- questing your aid in securing the data mentioned below:
 "I wish to obtain a correct list of all farm products, fruits, vegetables, etc, grown in your county.
 Also an estimate of the average amount of each produced per acre per year.
 Also the average net proceeds derived from each of such products per acre per year.
 Also an estimate of the number of acres of land available and the nature of same.
 And also the present status of live stock raising, giving the aver age value of each kind of live stock raised and the adaptability of your county to this industry.
 Tn fact, 1 desire a general state ment concerning your natural re- sources and live stock.
 Should this require more time than you are able to give, may l ask that you hand this letter to some other person or persons who can and will give it the proper at tention? It might be well for you to enlist the services of your farm demonstration in preparing your re- port"

FOR BETTER ROADS
County Road 0VersecrS to Meet in Mena to Outline Plans for
 Future Work.

County Judge w. N. Martin has written a letter to each road over seer in Polk county requesting him to be in Mena al i6 o'clock Wednes- day morning, September 3, for a two-day session, al which meeting plans will be offered and discussed for systematic road work in the county.
 That the Good Roads movement is gaining in enthusiasm is evil denced by the intense interest by farmers and busi- ness men throughout the county. Polk county will do more than her share in the statewide movement.
 The meeting next week will de- velop ideas in road building that will be invaluable in improving the roads and increase the efficiency of those who will have immediate charge of the work.

WHAT MAKES CITIES
An Oklahoma Business Man Advises
 the Use of Publicity.

"Mena is certainly overlooking a good bet by not flooding Missouri, Kansas and Illinois with illustrated and welI-written literature adver- Using the possibilities of the coun- try surrounding this city" said 0. .B. Grisham of Oklahoma City, who was formerly connected with the Chamber of Commerce of that city. Mr. Grisham has been on a fishing and hunting trip in the mountains west of Mena.
 Most sections in Oklahoma are completely burned out, and except in spots there are no crops worth mentioning. But though you have drought here, your prospects are one hundred per cent better. Why not let the world know the re- sources and advantages you haNeF
 T was through Kansas about i've weeks ago. and it was not a very pleasant sight to see farmers dis-- posing of all of their live stock at any price they could get, and Tn many instances selling their farms at a great sacrifice. These people must go somewhere-why not hereY
 q do not believe the native cltl- zens here realize their own possl- hilities, and certainly not the busl- ness men, in not giving the country the publicity it deserves.
 "I believe in a town and commit nity advertising as we'll as a mer- chant. Oklahoma City. Dallas, Houston and other progressive clt- ies are evidence of the fact that community and municipal advertis- ing produces results. Advertising played the most important part Tn the astonishing growth of these cities. You have the chance; why not go to it?"

KIRBY IS AGAINST 1 WAR WITH MEXICO
sIVe Do Not Need War With Mexi- eo as There Is Neither Gain OF Glory in Such a War;" De- clares Associate Justice.

Texarkana, Sept. Eve do not 1need q war with Mexico, as there is
 neither glory or gain in such a
 war." declared Associate Justice #NiIliam F. Kirby this morning. Associate Justice Kirby is spend- Sine few days in the city with his #family. this being his home, and Knlans to depart about Friday of *this week for a deer hunt of sev- Neral days. accompanied on this hunt Hbv Sheriff Alex Sanderson, Justice SJ. J. Towery, john Strange and John .C Edwards, all lifelong friends of AJudge Kirby.
 Although he has not formally an snounced his candidacy, Judge Kir- Ebv will be in the race for the Unit ed States Senate from Arkansas to Isucceed Senator Clark, who has Sseryed two terms in the Senate. Asked about this matter, Judge Kirby said: "I will be a candidate for United lSfates senator to succeed Senator EClarke. | do not know whether Senator Clarke will be candidate Hasain or not. He has held the of Ifre for two terms and has had about all the honor that man can |reasonably expect.
 Arkansas needs senator who is in sympathy with the rights of |the common people, in touch with sthp conditions in the state and in harmony with the principals and |the leaders of the Democratic par |ty.
 We do not need a war with Mexico. as there is neither glory or gain in such a war. We do need the tariff revised in accordance with the Democratic doctrine and platform, and such a revision of the currency laws as will result in the government controlling the financial situation at all times-at least, in the government being able to prevent Wall Street and bank
 made panics.
 We should by all means control the great Panama canal with view of securing whatever benefit may
 reasonably result from it's con-
 struction without regard to the
 consent of other nations. We dug
 the canal and we should control it."
 Justice Kirby expects to make a
 thorough campaign of the state in
 the interest of his candidacy at the
 proper time. He has already made
 three campaigns of the state for
 various offices, and is we'll known
 in all sections in Arkansas. Miller
 county being his home, he will
 doubtless roll up heavy vote here

ARE BUILDING ROADS
Farmers Along the Road From Mena to Rocky Are First to
 Get in the Game.

The Good Roads enthusiasts of Mena and Polk county should take off their hats to the farmers along the road to Rocky-they are now in the road-making game and every one is on the job.
 Recently the citizens along the line perfected an organization in order to do the work systematically and effectively Four gangs" were organized, each under a competent leader. The latter part of the week was donated to blasting out the stumps and other Instructions, and Monday the road grader crew left Mena to put the finishing touches on the work.
 Financial assistance was given by Mena business men, but the ma- jority of the work done by the voluntary effort of those living along the route.
 Judge Martin received a telegram Saturday to the effect that Assist ant State Highway Inspector Heights would arrive Monday and be in attendance at the meeting of the county road overseers in Mena "Wednesday and Thursday. MT. Heights will give the benefits of his extensive road making experience and materially aid in the movement in Polk county.
 "I was in Jackson county, Mis- souri, about two weeks ago when, during the statewide campaign for good roads, every citizen gave one day of his time and energy to build ing the roads in their various dis tricts," said a Kansas City business man who is a frequent visitor to Mena. That good-road making ex- perience taught me something. It is that we can't get either good roads or good government unless we pitch in ourselves and do our share of the work. Road-making develops into community-making, and that leads to state-making- and the better the roads the better the state. Good roads can only be built by the cooperation of those lusing them.'

Attorney General of United States Thinks Is UniuStly Criticized and
 Won't Handicap Administration.

Washington, Sept. That James c. McReynolds soon will resign as attorney general of the United States was positive statement made today to the correspondent of the New York Press by senator to whom McReynolds expressed this intention. Although he feels he has been subjected to unjust criticism, said McReynolds to this senator, he also believes his presence in the cabinet is a handicap to President Wilson's administration, and he in- tends to retire from his office.
 It's too much for me" said Me Reynolds to this visitor, "and feel that I must retire.
 Demand His Resignation.
 As he further explained his posi- tion he had been worried by criti- cism of his conduct of the Union paciflc-Southern Pacific dissolution case, of the Diggs-Caminetti case, of several of his recommendations for appointments and for his advo- cacy of certain pardons, to say nothing of minor affairs.
 He maintained he has been right in every instance, and he resents being made the goat of the ad- ministration.
