the simplest color and the lowest in
the series. Hence 1t is. the only one
that can be absolutely predicted. As
far as known, there is no case on rec
ord where a chestnut horse and chest
nut mare have not brought colt Of
the same color. The Suffolk is the
only breed that is absolutely true to
color.
Black is the next in series, followed
in order by bay. gray and roam. Gray
parents may have a colt that is gray,
bay, black or chestnut. A gray mare
and black horse might have a colt
gray, bay, black or chestnut, but never

PASTURE is VALUABLE ASSET
In Pasturlng Alfalfa Care Must Be
Taken That II Is Not Cut Too
Heavily-Best for Hogs.

For "growing out" little pigs and
carrying over dry sows, a good pasture
is a valuable asset. Alfalfa makes the
best pasture for hogs. In pasturing
alfalfa, care should be taken that II is
not pastured too heavily. If this Is
done, the alfalfa will be badly killed
out In two or three years, and 1t will
be necessary to reseed.
Pasturing should never be carried on
so heavily but that one-half ton Of
hay per acre can be cut three times a
season. The occasional cutting Of the
alfalfa induces new shoots TO grow,
and hence greatly improves the pas.
ture for the pigs.

GUESSING AT COLTS COLOR

If one knows the ancestry anC

Colors in horses come III series, and

TO STUDY NEW TAXING LAW.
Monroe Smith of State Commission
 Will Re Here April g.

Commissioner Monroe Smith, member of the Arkansas State Tax Commission, has notified County Judge A. E. Wear, County Clerk Will AleXander, and County Assessor J. A. Hughes, that he will be in Mena on Monday, April B, and at 8 o'clock D. m, will hold a meeting with the tax officials of the county. While this is especially a meeting for the taxing officials, Commissioner Smith wants it understood that the public in general is invited and urged to att tend. The purpose of the meeting is to afford full and free discus sion of the manner of assessing un- der the assessment law passed by the last legislature. The members of the township assessment boards who were recently appointed by Judge Wear, and list of whom was printed in The Star of last week, are particularly urged to att tend this meeting for the reason that upon them rests the duty of putting the provisions of the new law in operation.

GERMANS DRIVEN BACK, AWFUL LOSS
Estimated That 100000 Were Killed, Wounded or Captused-Further French Advance Expected at
 Once-Greatest Battle.


 Paris, April i7.--Germany suffered another crushing blow on the vest ern front yesterday when 40 miles of the strongest part of her line were wrested from her with an es- timated loss of nearly 100000 killed, wounded or taken prisoners.
 All France halls the victory as brilliant demonstration of the skill of her generals and the courage of her troops.
 Measured by the amount of terri tory freed, this victory does not compare with the Somme offensive opening a month ago, but viewed rom the amount of destruction done to the enemy's armed forces, and the damage to his military prestige, it is far graeter success.
 The enemy had expected this at tack and had made every prepara- tion to defeat it.
 The great western battle has now joined along about one hundred and fifty miles, more than a third of the mighty line from Switzerland to the sea

SEVEN BILLION WAR BILL PASSES HOUSE
Authorizes ] Billions in Bonds. of Which 5 Billions Win Be Loaned to Entente Countries at War
 Five Amendments.

@ Washington, April Without a nissenting voice the House, amid
 paudits of members and the gal 1aries, late today passed the S7,0O0,- 100000 war revenue authorization measure. One member, Representa- live London of New York, the only Socialist, voted present. # Owing to the general pairs and ab- sentees, only 389 votes were record
 ed for the bill, but both Democratic II Leader kitehin and Republican leader Mann announced that all the
 members would have voted affirm atively had they been present. The Sformality of a roll call would have been dispensed with if several mem
 bers who voted against the war res plution had not insisted upon hav- 3ng the opportunity of recording Themselves in favor of providing nnoney to carry on hostilities, now 1hat the nation is at war
 The bill authorizes S5,000000,0OO Sn bonds of which S3,000000,000 will sbe loaned to the entente countries land the issuance of treasury certiii- ates for S2,000,000,O00 ultimately to be met by increased taxation. Pas sage of the measure never was in
 doubt and favorable action by an Overwhelming vote is assured in the
 Senate, where it will be taken up on Monday. 1t probably will be signed the president by the middle of 2snext week
 & Discussion in the House was con- &fned chiefly to proposed amend 7Tments. Five were added. four of (which were agreed to by the Ways Mand Means Committee and none of (which materially changed the in #tent of the bills framers. The two $most important amendments, draft '&ed by Lenroot of Wisconsin and ac- Eepted by the committee would con- Snne the proposed S3.000,000000 al Flied loan to countries at war with
 Germany and permit loans only dur &ing the war.
 Others would prohibit the sale of Hhe United States bonds at less than $par, permit the purchase of foreign
 bonds at par" and limit the cost of #lisposing of the S5,000,000,000 worth Nj bonds to one-tenth of one per Kcent of the total.
 Proposals to limit the life of the Bonds to 90 years. to create a Con- zgressional Committee to act with Tthe secretary of the treasury and Nthe president in disposing of the Bonds and other proposed amend zments were overwhelmingly de- efeated Democrats and Republicans sdeclared they were satisfied to leave the details to the secretary and the &president.

COUNTY ON CASH BASIS
Has Approximately SS000 More Than Enough to Take Up All Out
 standing Warrants.

During these troublous times, when there is almost a panic be- cause of the impending exhaustion of the food supply, and when the war clouds are getting heavier, there is one ray of sunshine that will bring warmth and comfort to the citizens and taxpayers of Polk county, and that is that the county is out of debt, condition that has perhaps, never before prevailed in Polk coun- ty Collector H. w. Finger in mak- ing his semi-monthly settlement with County Treasurer w. E. An derson Saturday, turned over to the credit of the County General fund Si368.72 in county warrants, and S8000 in cash. IL is estimated that the present outstanding warrants amount to about S3,000, so that the balance in the County General fund at this time, if all warrants were paid, is approximately 5000, and there is still about S3000 in process of collection. This will mean that witnesses and jurors who will at tend Circuit court this week, will have no difficulty in getting loo cents on the dollar for their county warrants.
