HORRIBLE EXAMPLE

An amusing incident happened re-
Gently in an eastern school. The vii
1age mayor was featuring a class OF
boys on smoking and the evils attend
ing it. Suddenly he saw grin over
spreading the faces of the pupils, and
on inquiring the cause an innocent
looking cherub yelled out:
Please, sir, yer pipes sticking out
Of yer pocket The smoking lecture
was brought abruptly to close.

 SAVE EARLY SUMMER CABBAGE.
Miss Emma Archer, State Agent Gives Recipe for Making kraut.

In reply Co many inquiries as tO how 10 save the early summer cab bage. Miss Anna Wood, home demon- strator. has handed The Star re- cipe sent out by Miss Emma Archer, State Home Demonstration Agent. The directions are as follows:
 Select mature, sound cabbage. Remove the outer green leaves, just as in preparing for boiling Chop with kraut cutter, or quarter the heads and slice of the core and cut the quarters into thin slices with a large knife.
 Now pack the shredded cabbage in clean earthenware crock. If large quantities are desired, pack in clean. water-tight barrel or kegs.
 "As the cabbage is packed, salt at the rate of one pound to 40 pounds of cabbage, should be added and dis tributed evenly. When the crock is nearly full, the cabbage should be pressed down as firmly as possible and covered with clean cloth, and then board. Weight with stone. Do not use pine board or limestone as weights as these will cause dis agreeable iayors.
 "Set crock aside to ferment. If the weather is cool or a cold cellar is used three to five weeks is neces- sary for the fermentation to be completed If in a warm room, ten days to two weeks. Do not allow scum to grow on the surface of the brine. As it grows keep it removed by skimming often. As soon as gas bubbles cease to rise and all scum has been removed, add a layer of hot melted parailin about one-fourth to one-half inch thick, poured on the brine very hot. This parafiln cover will seal the crock air-tight and prevent the scum from destroy ing the brine and kraut. If gas forms and breaks the paraflln cover, remove it, reheat and replace. When canning kraut in No. 3 tin cans, ex- haust 5 minutes and process hours. When packed in quart glass jars, process 2la hours"

PEOPLE SUFFER-;
 SPECULATOR GAINS
DiIatory Tactics Of Congress Cause Herbert (. Wilson to Send Letter to Administration Leaders and
 Spur Them On.


 Washington. July ii.-Administra- tion leaders in the Senate. spurred on by Herbert C. Ho0ver's letter to President Wilson declaring that fur ther delay in enacting food legisla- ton threatens serious loss to both farmers and consumers, today sought to hasten action by the agri- cultural committee in perfecting the Gore substitute food control bill now in consideration in the Senate. The committee again today worked on the substitute bill, while the Sen ate continued debate on general features of the measure.
 The Senate will vote on the bill on July 2i. The substitute is generally similar to the original bill except that the clause giving power to President Wilson to control other industries besides food and fuel has been stricken out. It prohibits the manufacture of distilled liquors without providing for government purchase of stocks now held in bond and gives the President power to de- eide, in his discretion, whether pro- hibiti0n shall extend to beer and wines.

Mir. and Mrs. T. J. Walker Make
 Good Report for Opal.

Mir. and Mrs. T. J. Walker of the
 Opal community were in Mena Fri day to do trading and to get a supply of flour from the Mena Flour Mill, ground from their own wheat. They report a yield of if3 bushels of wheat from a patch of eight acres, which, while not a large yield, is suf- iicient to warrant them in putting out still more next year, so that they will not only have enough for their own use but some to sell They will keep most of the 1917 crop for their own flour except that they will sell limited amount to neighbors on condition that it be used for seed. Mrs. Walker reported particularly that all the women of the neighbor- hood are busy as they can be these days canning the surplus fruits and vegetables and thus doing their part in making Polk county feed herself. She added, however, that as far as she and her household was con- eerned, that was not a new move ment for they had always seen to it that the farm produced food for the family and feed for the stock. An other forward move in which Mir. and Mrs. Walker are heartily inter- ested is the betterment of the edu- cational conditions of the county.

Loses Animal From Tick Fever.

J. W. Bradley reported the death Thursday of his registered Shorthorn bull from the effects of tick fever. The animal had had an attack about two months ago, but seemed to have completely recovered from the same. Mir. Bradley has owned the animal since last winter, having bought him of F. D. Pierce who had shipped him from Green City, Mo-, located about 100 miles north of Kansas City. The animal was valued at S200, but it is not this loss that worries Mir. Bradley so much as the fact that he had made plans to start herd of beef cattle with this an imal at the head and now he must give up his plans with a number of COWS and heifers on hand.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm system of the human body.
 In perfect health we hardly realize that we have network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin> Ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, durability and unless corrected, leads straight to breakdown.
 To correct nervousness, Scott's Efnul- sion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh lag tonic force. It Is free from alcohol

NEAR RIOT AT HIGH SCHOOL
DANCE; POLICE WERE CALLED

Today the high school principal is
being roundly denounced by certain
high school students who assert his
course toward young Murphy was
wrong, on the other hand members
OF the high school faculty say it has
been the regular custom for them to
censor attendance at the high school
dances and that they were amply jus.
titled in barring the suspended stu
dent. It is also contended by them
that the authority OF the faculty must
be upheld or the school will be
thrown into turmoil.
Had Principal Drill retaliated when
struck by Murphy II is said a free
fight would have occurred as friends
Of the ex-student were prepared to
give him aid. Tom Murphy says that
Principal Drill saw him buy a dance
ticket and did not object at that time.
He also complains that the principal
spoke to him while he was dancing
when he should have done so between
, dances.
