STATEWIDE ANT-TICK LAW.
In Mississippi the Elimination Cam
 paign Will Be General.

Washington, May 1.-The new Mississippi law requiring each county in the state that is still in tested with cattle ticks to begin systematic eradication work next year is the first measure of the kind iu the history of the campaign for the total elimination of the pest in the south. Hitherto tick eradication has been matter of county option. Each county has determined for it. self whether or not it should under take the work. Ia Mississippi, after January 1, 1917, there will be no choice. After that date the law provides that the cattle in every county which has not already freed itself from the tick must be dipped regularly in accordance with the rules and regulations Of the State Live Stock and Sanitary Board un- til, in the worls of the act, 'fthe cat tie tick be permanently eradicated and destroyedH As experience has shown that energetic work can usu- ally accomplish this result in one season, this means that the entire state of Mississippi should be out of quarantine by the end of 1917, or at the latest by the end of 1918.

MOUND BUILDERS ONCE NEAR MENA
Curiosity of Two Young Farmers Leads to Discovery of Ancient Pottery and Human Skeletons
 of Unusual Size.

Jesse L. Fountain, son of ". N. Fountain, east of Alder and across the Polk county line, was in Mena Thursday and told story and sub mitted evidence that should prove mighty interesting to an archae- ologist or anyone interested in delv- ing into prehistoric times and bring ing to light the stories of the early inhabitants of our country.
 Mir, Fountain brought with him and left at the office of The Star an earthen vessel most nearly resem- bling some of the more crude water bottles made and now in use in the interior of Mexico The bottle is quite well formed, is about seven inches high, with smooth neck of about three inches in length and a diameter inside of about one inch. The body is about six inches in di- ameter and is covered with rough ly engraved patterns that fit pe- |cullarly to the shape of the vessel. In the vessel he found crystal about an inch long that might have been used in doing the cutting. MT. Fountain broke small piece from the top of the bottle, and testing it shows the pottery to be quite soft and almost or quite free from grit.
 The mound itself was in field long cultivated and was much flat tened by continuous farm operations and now shows a diameter of about 100 feet. The excavation was only about three feet deep and three feet across.
 MT. Fountain and a companion. J A. Edwards. later went to another mound nearby this one about fifty feet in diameter, and started an ex- cavation just to one side of the ap- pex, and here they soon uncovered five human skeletons, all lying on their backs about t15 feet apart, with the heads all toward the cen ter of the mound. They did not excavate for enough either way to have uncovered other skeletons if there were any.
 MT. Fountain states that some of the skeletons indicate men of giant size The measurement of a thigh bone he said, led them to believe the owner must have been more than feet tall.
 On the Fountain place of i60 acres there are three large mounds, and on the Henry Lawrence farm of 200 acres nearby, there is one large one. Most of these have been flat tened by cultivation. In all there are said to be seven of these mounds known in that locality. The earth composing them shows that it is out of place-has been placed there by some agency other than nature.
 It is hoped that someone versed in such matters may become inter ested to the end that more may be learned of the people who inhabited this country in past ages.

CHARGED WITH WIFE AND
 CHILD ABANDONMENT
Francis Runder Arrested at Wickes on Warrant From kanSaS-Held
 in Jail for Expected Officers.

Francis Runder, wanted in Wyan- dotte county, Kansas, on the charge of wife and child abandonment, was arrested last Sunday by Sheriff H. w. Finger at the home of his parents near Wiekes. He was arraigned be- fore Justice of the Peace s. H. Smith Thursday on a fugitive warrant, but waived preliminary examination until Monday, May 8, and in default of bond of $500 he was remanded to the county jail. In the meantime, pending the examining trial, it is expected that the sheriff of Wyan- dotte county will arrive with requi- sition papers to take the man back to Kansas.
 Mr. Runder is a bright and gentle manly young fellow, and had fol- lowed the profession of bookkeeper until he came to Arkansas with his parents in November, 1914, and has since been with them on the farm near Wickes. He says that his pres ent trouble is the culmination of do- mestic infelicity that had been brewing for some time before he left his wife and two children, and that aside from the charge of wife and child abandonment he is the defendant in a divorce suit institut- ed by his wife and to be tried May g. He claims to have made repeat ed efforts to get his wife to join him on the farm in Arkansas, but this he ayers, she has steadfastly refused to do.
