The evening bells are ringing,
And through the air so cold and still,
We hear glad voices singing,
The Farmers Club, the Farmers
Club,
The great association.
We're going to make our Farmers

The best one in the Nation.

Just gets a chance to spend his dough,
And wear a stand-up collar.
The Farmers Club, the Farmers

It will not take your wages,
But you get more enjoyment there,
Than on the city stages.
The lectures in the city hall,
The sayings and the speeches
Have nothing to compare at all
With things that nature teaches.
So come and join our jolly club,
We sturdy sons of labor,
Oh! Come and join our happy crowd
Yes, come and bring your neighbor.
And now let's give ringing cheer,
For this association,
LET every member who is here
Join in the demonstration.
Hail to our dear Farmers Club,
Hurrah! for Minnesota!

erally improved the conditions of both classes. He said that the value of the exhibition of various products he had seen here at Mena's agricul- tural street fair ccmld not be esti- mated. Their effect will be as far reaching, not as an advertisement o1 the city, but as an evidence of the growth, prosperity and enterprise of the agricultural classes of the coun- try. He said We should spend more ncpey for agricultural and horticul- tural education.
 The strongest and best arguments MT. DuLaney made to his hearers was the statement that the fathers of the country should take their boys into partnership and give them an in- terost in the farm-sive him some ob ject in life. A boy without hope ol some kind of a reward Is ncc much better than a dumb animar. In fact the burden of Mr. DuLaney's argu- ment in this line was plea to keep the boys at home It was a master full speech and sank deep into the hearts of those who heard it.

INSTALLING A
 ROCK CRUSHER
Capacity of Five Carloads A Day Construction of City Disposal
 Plant Soon to Start.

Contractor H. " Cardwell is hay ing constructed rock crusher at the M, D. and G. "Y", which will crush the rock that will go into the cons structcn of the big city disposal plant. The rock crusher will be operated by steam power and vii have a capa- city of something like five cars per day. Leslie Judd has charge of the installation of the plant and will operate it. Mr. CardWell Is away this week looking for rock of the kind de- sired. The disposal plant will be To-
 cated beyond the city limits cn the
 east side of town.
 The ferns for the big concrete res ervoir are nearing completion near
 the light plant The reservoir will
 hold 150,000 gallons of water. The steel tank will hold 50,000 gallcns,
 giving the plant reserve supply of
 200, 900 gallons The concrete reser-
 voir will be cylindrical in shape, ex- |, ground and will be covered like a cis- tern. Either of the three deep wells afford the purest of water and are not exhausted by continuous pumping by the big pumps. The city will have a
 water supply inexhaustible for all purposes. During construction the pumping is being done temporarily with a gasoline engine. The meter shows that 2S6,000 gallons of water
 has already been used.
 Pressure Gauge.
 A most remarkable instrument is the pressure guage. It shows the amount Cf water in the tank with the amount of pressure at any minute or any hour of the 24 It has a paper dial like a clock A new dial is plac- ed on each day and the old one re- moved for a record. The record is
 marked cm the dia with red ink oppo- site figures showing time and pres sure. The night of the fire the record
 shows that the first hose was turned on at about 10 minutes of ? ciclock
 and that the last hose was cut off as
 about 25 minutes after ?. The pres
 sure during all this time is recorded.
 (t shows that it started at from 40 to 50 pounds, the tank being only half full, and run down toward the clCse.
 It would leave permanent record of the carlessness of any bumper, who might let the water run low
 The brickwork on the fire pump
 house and office has been completed.
 The water mains are being extended on the west side of town this week. The work will probably be completed
 and turned over to the city about the first of December.

 Speech to Voters.

From the Mena Star:
 Mena agricultural fair, quickly organized a1j well conducted, was thorough success in the opinion ctr every citizen and victor so far as heard from. The weather was ideal from start to finish. The attendance was not record breaker, but was as large as could be expected at the busy season and when sC' short prepara tion was considered.
 The practicularly gratifying devel- opment of the fair was the standard of the exhibits. These are universal ly conceded to be superior to those of any fair in Mena, covering period of 19 years.

GREECE SILENCE
 GESTURES ALLIES
FRANCE AND ITALY BECOMING IMPATIENT OVER CONTINUAL
 DELAYS-ACTiON WANTED.

London.-The negotiations between Greece and the allied powers at Ath- ems still drag, new hitches seemingly arising as the old ones are smoothed out. The people of the allied coun- tries, particularly those of France and Italy are becoming impatient over the continual delays, and the press is de- manding that stern action be taken to demonstrate to King Constantine and his ministers the determination of the quadruple entente to secure the as surances demanded. New proposals are said to have been made by France and Great Britain in the hope of reach ing an agreement.
 The attitude of Roumania also re- mains undecided. Since the dispatch announcing the closing of Roumanian ports to foreign trade was received, si- lence has descended on Bucharest and every one is awaiting anxiously the next move, which will give mean ing to this order The general belief here is that the Roumanian govern ment is waiting for the concentration of sufficient Russian force in Bess- arabia and a large enough Anglo French army in Southern Servia to make victory certain before joining the allies.
 Meanwhile the Austro-Germans and Bulgarians continue rounding up the few Servian troops remaining in Ser via and also are prosecuting with their utmost energy the campaign against Montenegro.
 Unusual calm prevails on the va rious battle fronts, even the Italians apparently slackening their offensive, probably in preparation for the next phase, which they hope will place Go- rizia in their hands, with other com manding positions on which the Aus tran hold has weakened during the last weeks of heavy fighting.
 The check suffered by Gen. Towns bend in Mesopotamia is a severe dis appointment to the British public, which had looked upon this expedition as the brightest spot thus far in the war, with the possible exception of Gen.

BERLIN ASKS REASON
 RECALLING ATTACHES
WILL NOT ASK SAFE CONDUCT FOR BOY-ED AND VON
 PAPEN.

Washington.-Coun von Bernstorff communication asking for the reasons of the request for the withdrawal of Capt Boy-Ed and Capt. yon Papen.
 It was stated authoritatively, though not in the communication, that the ambassador would under no consideration ask the United States to get safe conduct for the attaches. The German government was represented as considering it incumbent upon the United States to return the attaches bring their successors here.
 Should it develop from the State De- partment answer that other incidents than the Archibald case and the tes- timony at the Hamburg-American trial were considered in asking withdrawal, Germany will contest the withdrawal Should the department reply that those two incidents alone were re- sponsible, the withdrawal will take place at once.
 The embassy was represented as considering that it and the attaches stand before the bar of public opinion. The understanding is that the embas- sy will deny that the attaches have been connected with anything under attack other than the Archibald incl dent and the testimony in the federal court in New York
 
 All this action is considered by American officials to be contrary to precedents of diplomatic procedure While conferences are in progress the two attaches will remain within the United States.
 Officials of the State Department re- fused to express their views for pub llcat1on, but 1t is known they are of the opinion that should Germany de. cline to ask for safe conducts the men may have to leave without them. It was pointed out that the men could with safety proceed to Mexico City. To attempt to reach Germany with out safe conducts would, however. be extremely hazardous. The department does not consider itself bound to get their successors nere.

ASK DIsAvoWAL OF SUBMARINE ATTACK UPON ITALIAN
 LINER ANcONA.
PREPARATION IS DEMANDED
Friendly But Firm Terms Character ize Document Which Makes Par tcuar Point of Prompt Assur-
 ance For Safety of Americans.

Washington.-The United States has sent Austria-Hungary a note ask ing for disavowal of the submarine attack upon the Italian liner Ancona, assurances that such an act will not be repeated, some degree of punish ment for the commander of the SUD- marine and reparation for the Ameri- can lives lost The communication was sent to Ambassador Frederick c. Penfeld at Vienna.
 Friendly but firm terms character ize the document, which is said to make particular point of prompt as surance for the future safety of Amer ican lives. Austria Hungary has never informed the United States whether the commanders of it's submarines had been given instructions similar to those which the German government issued after the Lusitania tragedy. It is said the note referred particularly to the charge that shells killed or wounded some passengers after the ship had halted and asked for an ex- planation.
 Secretary Lansing acted with the approval of President Wilson It IS said that the brief, vigorous document was so drafted as to attempt a settle ment of the controversy at once with out bringing on series of communi- cations such as followed the sinking of the Lusitania.
 High officials believe the situation calls for grave consideration The ar fair has become complicated since the note was dispatched by reports of at tacks on American oil vessels in the Mediterranean, presumably by Aus trian submarines.
 The sending of the note came as complete surprise. Reports from the State Department indicated that no positive evidence as to what actually had occurred when the Ancona went down had been received.
 The Ancona was sunk in the Medi- terranean sea on November g. The only testimony of native American survivor is deposition by Dr. Ceeile Greil of New York. Dr. Greil asserts specifically that the liner was torpe- doed while the men, women and chil- dren in the cabin and steerage were scrambling to get into small boats. It is believed her statements played an important part in the State Depart ment's decision.
