Oldfeld Would Fight.

Washington, April 26.-Con- gressman w. A. Oldfield of Batesville, Ark, yesterday ten dered his services to President Wilson in case of war with Mex ico. MT. Oldfeld's letter to President Wilson follows:
 April 25, 1914. Dear MT. President:
 Tt has been my pleasure to uphold your hand in your Mex ican policy because I know that it has been your earnest desire, as we'll as my own, that we should, if possible, avoid war with the republic of Mexico. However, in this crisis if war must come, I hereby tender my services, through you to our country and shall be glad to serve in any capacity which seems to you best. For your in formation, I desire to say that I enlisted in 1898 as a private in Company M, Second Arkansas Volunteer Infantry, war with Spain, was elected first sergeant of my company, later promoted to the rank of first lieutenant and mustered out of the service with that rank early in 1899. With great respect, I am sim cerely,
 (Signed) 'W. A. Oldfeld. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, president
 of the United States"

receptacles for 100 watt lamps, the outside globes for which are 16 inches in diameter. There are four D oles on either side of the street, making a total of eight poles on a block.
 Now, l do not know what your light company proposes to erect for you in the matter of orna- mental poles, but take it for granted that they have figured to give you an installation that will prove in every way satisfactory to the city, and at the same time could be looked on with pride by everyone concerned. Of course, you would not expect to compete with the system l have just told you about. A 12 foot pole, constructed of steel pipe, 3 inch- es at bottom, reduced to 2 inches or 1 IA inches at the top, properly spaced, would make a very nice installation, even with as small outer globes as 10 inch.
 Trusting that I will be delight ed by looking on Newport s white way" the first time I have an opportunity to visit up there, I will bring this to a close.
 Yours truly,
 Jas. P. Eubanks.

Guard Your Children
 Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an carly age become constipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own con- dition, child's bowels should be constantly watched, and a gentle laxative given when necessary. Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets arc especially we'll adapted to women and children. The Sisters of Christian Charity, 53I Charles St., cases of sickness say of them;
 "some time ago we began using Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets and find that We like them very much. Their action is excellent and we are grateful for having been made acquainted witfAS them. We have had good results in every case and the Sisters are very much pleased"
 The form and flavor of any medi- cine is very important, no matter who is to take it. The taste and. appearance are especially important when children are concerned. All parents know how hard it is to give the average child medicine" even though tie taste is partially dis guised In using Dr. Miles Lax atlve Tablets, however, this ditil- culty is overcome. The shape ot the tablets, their appearance and candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection.
 The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make pr: Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children. sS
 If the first box fails to benefit, the price is returned. Ask your druggist. A box of as doses costs only 25 cents Never sold in bulk. MILES MEDICAL CO.,, EIkhart. Ind.

Can't Afford to Miss White
 Way"

Augusta, Ark, April 26, "A. Mir. P. H. Van Dyke, Editor of
 Independent,
 Newport, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 l have just finished reading an article in your paper of a proposition having been made to the city by your lighting com pany for the installation of a White Way" for the business section of your city, beginning at the intersection of First Cor Front) with Beech street and extending west to the intersec- tion of First and Vine streets, and to also extend from Front to Second on Hazel and from Front to Second on Walnut, talk ing in all the business section of the city.
 It is needless to say that it af- lords me much pleasure to note that the city of most of my boy hood days is at last interesting itself in civic pride.
 There is nothing that the city government could do that would advertise the city more than this proposed White Way" and the city fathers should see to it that this propo- sition is not turned down" Every citizen should feel an in- terest in this proposition. From the information before me, it is not entirely clear to my mind the class of installation you are to get, but it seems that the price to be paid for the service is not high; yet if the city owned and operated it's own nomically. But in view of the nomicaly. But in view of the fact that it is not municipally operated plant, there is nothing else to do but to make the best deal possible.
 It cannot be expected that a public service plant can be op- erated and maintained without a profit in return for such serv- ice. The reason I say this is be- cause of having operated the mu- nicipal plant in Argenta for more than three years. We op- erated from this plant sixty eight street arc lights, besides eleven blocks of white way"

without a penny of expense t the citizens of the city.

| without penny Ol ehpellSe lo l the citizens of the city.
 You ask, how did we do it? It is very simple. The revenue com ing in each month from com mercial lighting kept up the re- pairs, which (pardon me for talk ing the credit to myself.) were very small in the plant, while the repairs outside on the line were considerably greater, due to elec- trical storms, and other things over which humanity had no con- trol. We had model plant and it was we'll kept up and is lying now in waiting, like our Uncle Samuel's" gunboats, are waiting to jump on the Huerta govern ment in case an emergency should arise. The plant was closed down on the 16th day of last November, when the Mer- chants Lighting Company of Little Rock took the matter of furnishing current over, agree ing to furnish said city of Ar genta with current much cheap CT than we could make it.
 It is needless to say that feel ing of sadness permeated my very beinG when I closed the throttle on those engines for the last time. Not wholly because they furnished me lucrative em- ployment, but because they had been my faithful pals for more than three long years, ever re- spending to my demands, no matter what the emergency. Many were our hard fought bat ties, but in every case victory perched upon our banner. l quote you a fe wreasons for the change by Argenta's mayor:
 "One of the reasons for award ing the contract for furnishing Argenta's electricity to the Mer- chants Lighting Co.,, is that the Arkansas Fertilizer Co.,, which formerly used steam, will use electricity in the future. AS the ! amount required for oepration is 300 horse power, and the Argen~ la light plants capacity is only 1000 horse power, the strain on the municipal plant would be too great, and a breakdown ! would either leave Argenta in darkness or the fertilizer plant without power. The city, how ever, has reserved the right to operate the municipal plant at any time, should it prove more expensive to purchase power than to manufacture it.
 "We pride ourselves on our lighting system; it is undoubted-  ly one of the best in the state, and as good as will be found in any town of it's size anywhere. The white way, which is fur nished without any expense to the citizens, is supported by the income that is derived from the commercial lights. The income exceeds the expense so far as to allow us to install this white way", without any drain on the people"
 I These are the words of Mayor i Faucette. The writer will state, however, that the poles and fix lures f or this "white way" were paid for by the property owners of the district served. The poles 1 for this white way" are 30 feet. in height, constructed of steel gas pipe, 10 inches in diameter at the base and for a height of 12 feet, extending in concrete in the ground 5 feet, the top of poles beyond 12 feet are made of G. inch steel pies, and suspended from these poles at a distance of F feet from the ground are iron cross arms, carrying four

they have been grossly imposed upon
by a certain company in this city who
sell pianos The Star will not at this

transactions of which 1t has been in
formed. when an undue advantage has
been taken of Colored people after
bargaining for piano from a certain
piano company in this city, But IT
is enough to say that one piano com
pany in particular Is regarded as un-
safe and unfair to deal with Before
buying. be careful OF the company
from whom you buy. Just inquire
