or suffering some sort of delay of
which there are various kinds. 1t
is believed that when crew returns
from a cruise under the sea that
they are unfit for further duty of
that kind for periods varying from
few weeks to six months, and it
is difficult to keep enough crews
trained to keep the boats operating.
1t is very hard on the nerves to be
operating under seas, in the foul
air and some of the crew commit
suicide rather than endure the mis-
cry, some lose their minds and are
conducted to asylums while the ma
jority simply have to rest for months
before they are fit again. The action
of the seas upon the U-boats makes
it necessary to have them under go
extensive repairs after almost every
trip. And in the manufacture of the
new boats and materials for repair
ing the old ones, the lack of proper
raw material for making the differ
ent grades of steel needed, makes it
impossible to keep up the standard
or the quality Of material which they
formerly used.
Great number of the U-boats are
said to have put to sea recently, but
the reports of losses of shipping are
not at all alarming. When these
boats return to their base they will
probably stay in port for a while
for repairs.

HENRY FORD CHANGES
HIS MIND

Two years ago at this time Henry
Ford's peace party had crossed the
Atlantic with the determination to
get the boys out of the trenches by
Christmas time. What they actually
did do was to make some speeches,
make lot of expenses for Mr.. Ford
to pay; ladies Of the party bought
many expensive gowns and charged
them to Mr.. Ford, discredited the
party generally and then Mr.. Ford's
secretary proceeded to dissemble the
party and get them off home. The
whole thing turned out to be a piece
of German propaganda, but still Mr..
Ford said that did not make peace
any the less desirable Now, after
two years, Mr.. Ford is in the fighting
humor as much as anybody and is
turning his factories over to the
government for the manufacture of
munitions and other war materials.
Two years ago he would not even
deposit any of his money in bank
whose management was in favor of
pushing the war. But now he places
his factories and his millions at the
disposal of the government for war
purposes.

LESS BOOZE

The police records do not indi-
cate that there was any drinking or
gambling on at Blackfoot at Christ

that holidays were not success
without something of the kind, and
nanoIidays were not expected to pass
without them and some disturbances
arising from that source.
al year ago there was a little dis
Iurbance among the fellows who
wanted to stake their summers
wages on a card game, and it did
not turn out as happily for them
as vas intended.
or course, it is fun to get into
game and win; it used to be con-

The con- trlbutions on the part of the chil- dren may be anything from an ap- pie, orange or package of candy and other things to eat, to wearing ap- parel of all kinds. The offerings are to be brought to the respective rooms on Wednesday morning. and in the meantimg supt. c. K.

THANKFUL AND HELPFUL.

If, somehow, you do not have a feeling of gratefulness- are not thankful for yoar state and condi- tion in life pick up most any news paper and read Of what is happening to our fellow human beings in other places.
 if you feel aggrieved because in some way the war has interfered with your pleasure or your busi- ness here at home. think moment of the thousands of young men who, in training camps, on the seas or on battlefields, are denied the comfort of home-are gfving up their very lives that We may remain in peace and safety.
 But there are few who, at this Thanksgiving time, are not appreci- ative of their blessings And one of these is the blessing of that heart development that comes of giving and helping the less fortunate. We may give until it hurts and as one has just put it, until it quits hurting but everytime we do it, if our spirit is right, it has left with us a greater love of humanity and justice.
 A year ago, we were grateful that our country was spared participa- tion in the bloody cataclysm over the seas, but now, knowing better the cause and the need, we are doubly thankful that 1t is doing it's part.
 Never since the earth began has humanity been engaged in such strife as on this Thanksgiving, and to hope it will be over before the days return is the best we can do. It would be impossible to feel glad that the war came to seuuree the earth; and yet, is 1t not probable that when all is over, it will have prov en cleanser that was needeiLthe healing of cancer thai would re- spond to no other treatment?
 Let us not be merely thankful on this Thanksgiving day, but be thoughtflsl and helpful that in our selves awt in the world we will be better.

IT WILL COME TO ARKANSAS.

In a number of states, among the most notable Colorado, there has been in use for several years an honor system of working conviets on the highways that has proven beneficial to both the state and the conyicts. The idea is spreading, and some of these days it is going to reacsh Arkansas.
 Under the caption Prison Labor for Roads. the Kansas City Star of recent date had the following edl- torial:
 Tt has been pointed out in dis patches from Jefferson City there are available some i,500 able bodied convicts whose labor can be util- ized in building good roads. That convicts can be used with success on the state highways has been demonstrated by the Old Trails road construction in the Mineola Mo-, district, where prisoners have been working for about six weeks, with out a single attempt to violate the honor system under which they are employed.
 Now comes the Co-Operative Club with request that the Club Presidents Round Table get behind the movement to put large num- Der of convicts at work on the roads next spring. In many Missouri counties there is a prejudice against the employment of convicts. Resi- dents of rural communities have pb- iected tosthe location of the camps in their neighbrhoods. 1t is this unwarranted feeling that the pris- oners are undesirable which must be overcome to make the movement real success in this state. Civic organizations can assist by pointing out in some systematic manner, the success which has been attained at Mineola.
 The people of that community have found the prisoners good neighbors. The camp is ideally clean and sanitary; the men haze worked diligently eight hours or more every day The have shown their appreciation of the opportun- ity to make good in countless ways, such as refraining from the use of profane language or the tellin- of vulgar stories. Visitors to the camp have been courteously treated, the prisoners talking freely of their anxiety to make good so that more of their fellows m the state penitentiary will have the same chance at open air work outside prison walls. There is no profes- sional whine about this talk. If it was not for the number stamped on the clothes of the men in the Min cola camp one would not know in talking with them that he was in a prison camp. atMineolaunitytist bgkq be,S
 Scarcity of labor is the most difficult problem faced now by men interested in road building. The employment of the men in the Jeff erson City prison will make it pos sible to build hundreds of miles of hard roads next year with t draw ing on labor that ought md must be conserved for war purposes"

EFFICIENCY COUNTS NOW.

By orders of the Railroad War Board a radical step has been taken to solve the transportation conges- ton on lines east of Chicago. By these orders competing lines, re- gardless of ownership or individual interests, will be operated as sim gle unit, the locomotives, employees, cars, tracks, terminals, etc., of each being untilized wherever most need ed In other words. the roads will be welded into one big efficiency machine for the war.
 But this radical step is not neces- sarily the final. for ii is openly an- nounced that if this does not suc- ceed, the government will take flll charge of tho operation Of the roads. However, the peolirs plalt ;s placed in the halr's of Ipa.ned railroad ofIl- fials a is probable they will se-- cure llle desired results.

The Character of a Man.

, An article in the Gazette giving in brief form the history of wheat said that George Washington grew wheat, ground it into flour at his mill and shipped a part of the pro- duct to the West Indies and that his flour was SO excellent and his weights SO honest that his ship ments, contrary to rule, were never inspected.
 Was not man who made good flour when he made it, and gave weights so honest that inspection rules were waived for him, the sort of man to become what George Washington became among Ameri- cans?
 And if George Washington, the miller, had tried to get past the in Speetlon with short weights would he ever have become first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his c0untrymen?

LOVING A CHILD.

 Loving a child is a key To Heavens mystery. Loving child, and giving It knowledge, this is living. Loving child brings pain. And is life's greatest gain. Loving a child is knowing The fierce joy of 8 sowing That shall cause mighty reaping. Loving a child is weeping, And fearing, too, and praying; This, there is no gainsaying. Loving child is being A part of God, and seeing The world beneath ones hand Enlarge, expand, Be different, and grow To ones thought. Even sos Loving a child is a key To every mystery. Loving a child is laughter And heartaehe after. Heartache and grief and pain But always joy again.

HAVE YOU NANCY naLIs2

In this issue of The Star, run without pay because all the service is offered on the same basis is call by the Commercial Club to see if one or more cars of Nancy Hall sweet potatoes can be had for ship ping.
 Secretary Eastin has found a mar ket. and seeks to render the farmers hereabouts real service by placing it at their disposal. There is not a cent of commission or profit to be paid or accepted by Mir. Eastin or the Commercial club. Mir. Eastin's salary paid, and his services are placed at the disposal of the ship pers-free.
 This is done by the business men s organization of Mena simply as a step toward building up this coun- try. They want every. farmer to have ready sale for his products so that he will continue to produce more and more. There is no mig ger in the woodpile, and if the farmers will take advantage of the situation, they will profit.
 But read that notice carefully. DO NOT bring in the potatoes, but estimate carefully how many you have that are sound and in every way marketable, then notify Mir. Eastin. and if he finds one or more cars can be secured he will tell you when to bring them
 When you have done this. your money will be ready. you will get all there is of it. and a profitable industry will have been started.

TWO POLK COUNTY BOYS WRITE
 TO THE STAR.
From John ID. Taylor.

To the Editor of The Star:
 l will write you a few lines as I have missed The Star for two is- sues and it is just like missing a letter from home. We were trans ferred from Camp Pike and arrived here last Thursday. All are well pleased with this place. l like the remount work much better than the infantry, as this is just like farm work am on the feeding force. We lave -l l000 head of horses and mules to feed.
 Wish was back at Mena and could take drink of pure water from the park spring, as the water here IS not good in comparison.
 l suppose the farmers are prepar- ing for good crops another year. I want them to grow plenty of beans and potatoes for we soldier boys. as we eat more of them than anything else. We are planning on a big din- her Thanksgiving day.
 l hope the Jefferson Highway will be completed by the time we return to Polk county, and most of us are counting on returning. When the war is over we will make the girls good husbands, as majority of us have learned to cook and wash since we have been in the service.
 Polk county did a good work in donating to the r. NJ c. A., as that organization is fine for the soldier boys. N4
 Will close for this time, and if this misses the waste basket will write again.
 Wishing all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. f anl,
