TUBE
STRONGLY MADE
These Tubes Will Outlast
Their Castings Says H.
HAYES Watson.

It Is generally conceded that a tire
is no better than its tube. for. with a
rotten OF poor tube. you can get no
more satisfaction than with = poor
casing.
r. Hayes Watson. manager OF J.
C. Johnson & Co, in speaking Of Re
public tubes. said recently:
Republic welded-splice gray tubes
are an added ally in the high quality
of service and long life for which Re
public tires are known. Republic
tubes are built ply upon ply, each ply
being carefully inspected for any de-
fects that might weaken il. The Re-
public method OF Welding eliminates
the weakness that develops at the
joints where other tires are used. In
the Republic process the ends are
beveIed down to a feather edge. They
are then united by welding them BY
our own perfected process The valve
patch another weak point IN most
tubes. is vuicauiZed into the tube And
in the end we feel sure that the Re
public tube, as is the case with the
Republic tire, S. the very strongest
toughest. pliable and best tube on the
market today

Three Young Men Authorized to Re-
 cruit Company Here.

The correspondence, which has been carried on in reference to the organization of a company of the Arkansas National Guard in Mena has brought fruit. A letter was re- ceived this morning from Adjutant General Lloyd England of Little Rock, giving authority to Tender son Jackson, Grady Forgy, and Little Riding to recruit the company, which will be mustered into service as soon as the two regiments now or ganized are brought to full war strength. It is expected that this will be accomplished soon, so that by the time the Mena company IS fully organized conditions will be ready to muster it into service. Ac- tive work for the organization of the company has already been begun, and the prospects are good that the required 65 members will soon be secured. When the company IS fully organized the state will furnish the equipment and the rental for an armOry.

STRUCK BY AN AUTOMOBILE.
J. w. Cunningham Escaped Serious
 Injury in Accident on Street

J. w. Cunningham narrowly es- capped serious injury Saturday when he was struck by an automo- bile driven by T. A. Allen on the crossing on Mena street, between the First National Bank and the Thaeker grocery. It seems that Mr. Cunningham was coming down Jans- sen avenue and as he started to cross MT. Allen approached with his car, also having come down Janssen av- enue, but turning north on Mena street. Both parties seemed to real ize the danger at once and each tried to dodge out of the way of the other, but in the resultant confusion, the car struck Mr. Cunningham, throw ing him to one side as though he had been pitched out of the car. In the fall he struck on his head, sustained an injury on the scalp above the left ear, but otherwise he seemed un- hurt, though for a short time he was considerably dazed by the shock. MT. Allen when he noticed the danger shut off the gas so that when the car struck Mir. Cunning ham it was running on it's own mo- mentum, or otherwise the outcome might have been more serious.
 Neither of the parties seems to blame the other for the accident.

US. WELCOMED BY
 HOUSE COMMONS
Entry Into War Declared to Be the Greatest Event and the Turning Point in the War-The Most
 DisintereSted Act.

London, April is.-In the House of Commons today unanimous ap- proval was given amid cheers to the resolution moved by Andrew Be- mar Law, chancellor of the excheq- .uer, and seconded by former Pre- mier Asquith, expressing apprecia- tion of the actions of the United States in joining the allied powers in war upon Germany.
 In moving in the Commons this res olution, identical with one moved in the House of Lords, Mir. Bonar Law said:
 Not only the members of Parlia- ment, but all the people of the Brit ish empire and the allied countries, welcome the new ally with heartfelt sympathy.
 This is not only the greatest event, but the turning point of the war. The New World has stepped in to restore the balance of the Old.
 Feeling in the United States al ready has shown that her enemies must beware of her, and despite the fact that the path immediately be- fore us is more difficult than ever before, I venture to express the be- lief that a change is coming that the long night of sorrow and an- guish which has desolated the world is drawing to a close"
 Seconding Mir. Bonar Laws reso- lution, former Premier Asquith said:
 1T doubt whether even now the world realizes the full significance of the step America has taken. It is one of the most disinterested acts in history
 A resolution similar to that adopt ed in the House of Commons on the entry of the United States into the war was passed unanimously in the House of Lords this afternoon after speeches by Earl Curzon, the Mar quis of Crewe. the Archbishop of Canterbury and Viscount Bryce.

There are now twenty boys in the Pig Club work at Hatfield. and it is hard to estimate what the influence of this movement will be in the matter of introducing a uniform type of hogs.

Great Plans Made for the Big Re- union on June ], 6 and at Our National Capital-WilI Awak-
 en Patriotic Enthusiasm.

Washington, April i8.-The fierce rebel yell" blending in cadence with the inspiring strains of The Star Spangled Baner," will awaken the echoes and arouse patriotic en- thusiasm at the Twenty y-seventh An- nual Reunion of the United Confed- crate Veterans to be held at Wash ington, the week beginning June i.
 As the men in gray parade over the wide stretches of Pennsylvania avenue, sometimes termed the Ma tional boulevard" the impulse will come to sound their battle cry of more than 50 years ago, when this country was engaged in a great in ternecine war. At this time when the United States is at war with a great foreign power, the picture of the parading units of the armies of Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson and other Southern generals, will be an ob- ject lesson worth while. The ven- erable veterans of Dixie will be par ticipants in the making of moving pictures of a past age on the na- tion's screen at Washington.
 It has been definitely decided that the big parade shall take place on Thursday, June :, at fl o'clock a. m. By direction of General George P. Harrison, commanding the United Confederate Veterans, the business sessions of that organization, includ- ing the annual election of officers, will be held June 5, and !.
