 V. W. St. John held the audience for some twenty minutes in an inter- esting talk on what the special good roads committee is doing and how the work was accomplished, giving the individual work of w. A. Rag land and R. Golf as a special exam pie of what may be accomplished by the enterprsing, progressive citi- zen when sacrificing his own time and convenience for the public good. MT. St. John told of the welcome ex- tended the committee at certain places and of the educational cam paign required among others before the result sought was obtained, yet, withal, the work being done is winning converts tO the cause in such numbers as to already as- sure the building of the road, and what is all the more encouraging, is that this road being builded, it will prove a commencement of an era of good road building turnout Polk county.
 Prof. R. B. Dodd of Hatfield being present, was asked for an expression as to the general conditions thru out the county from his view, and responded in words of praise for his home town, her citizenship and the progress made. not forgetting boost for the county as whole; and to say that Hatfield stood ready at any and all time to do her part in any movement being for the good of all.
 J. C. Mckee was another bearer of cheerful news, in that he stated the stock subscription for the proposed natatorium was assuming encour- agement, and that Mena's new bath house would soon be reality.
 R. D. Osborn spoke of conditions as he viewed them, and voiced his sen- timents respecting the conduct of the club.
 Dr. w. Hammond was the next speaker, and encouraged the devel- opment of the ore fields of the coun- ty
 Secretary Eastin made verbal re- port of the work accomplished in his office, showing the ready market he has found for the products of the farm, the number of letters written in response to inquiries from sum- mer visitors, and the need of accom- modations for these vacationists. Referring to the farm market depart ment of the club he stated that in all his experience, he had never met with such ready response from the farmer as has been the case in Mena. To such an extent is this the case that he had prevailed upon C. k. Bezanson, buyer for the J. R. Bever Co, of Gentry, to resign his position, and establish himself in business here, thus assuring the farmer of a ready sale for all classes of his pro- duet
 Mr. Eastin also read a subscription list begun by him for the establish- ment of poultry ranch and straw berry farm, ennmefating the names already secured. Upon call by President Rushing for action upon these industries, the same was re- gerred to the Executive Committee for further action

SERBIAN PRINCE E
 |DOL|zED BY TROOPS
TRepub'ican A.P. Leased Wnet

SALONIKI Oct. 4-The young Prince Regent Alexander of Serbia has established his headquarters with the Serbian forces here. and is fairly idol ized by officers and soldiers alike by reason of the five steady years of fighting he has carried on while he might have been enjoying the pleasures and repose of European capitals While the allied armies have been fighting three years, Prince Alexander began two years before, during the Balkan war against the Turks, and then fought in the internal war among the Balkan states. This has given him five years of steady warfare. The sol diers recall that when the great re- treat occurred, and they were going aboard ships at Cattaro, the prince regent refused to embark until the last man was aboard
 There was an incident last year, however, that established Alexander as the most popular rular the Serhs have ever had. At that time he made a visit to London, Paris. and other al lied capitals, for political reasons be- ing received everywhere with great demonstration. But after his five years of fighting, it was generally believed the young prince would prefer the life of the capitals for a time at least It

 Since Joe MacAleer acquired an in terest in the Kissel Auto company many changes have taken place and with the assistance of the senior mem have outlined a policy that bids fair to make this concern one of the lead CTS in their line in the west New salesmen have been added, a new ser vice system inaugurated and, above all the new salesmanager, Ed Thi- lenius.
 Every man in this firm is on his toes," says Thilenius, "and our line of Kissel Kars, Dorts, Doble Steam Cars and Federal trucks, are now sell ing better than ever" Each of these cars have merit and once we demon strate any of the models to a prospect we have practically made sale.
 "Wn aye just whipping our organ organization into shape and within a short time we will be ready for our big fall drive. With our beautiful as sortment of highly finished Kissel Kars and our sturdy Dorts we ask no | quarter from anyone"

is the largest ever produced and the harvest has been so plentiful as to have reduced the importation of corn and considerably checked the impor- ation of cornmeal.
 The production of food crops for home consumption is due to a very large degree to the work of the food commission in stimulating interest in the growing of minor crops and inn pressing on the island the necessity to feed itself Through the commits sion fifteen tons of seed for planting have been distributed.
 Members of the food commission be- lieve the island is capable of producing possibly four crops a year equal to the crops grown during the past few weeks. It is believed that beans, at least, will grow the year round and that a crop can be planted and brought to maturity inside of six or seven weeks. Vegetables and possibly other grain crops can be planted at every season, it is believed.
 The work of the agriculture com mittee of the food commission has to large degree been made possible by the assistance of the extension service of the United States department of agriculture of which IT. C. Henriek- sen is in charge in Porto Rico, and by the employment of a large number of agricultural agents who have been>put in charge of specific districts of the island under the supervision of trav- cling inspectors.
 Since september this field service has been reorganiZed and the work in the future is expected to show even better results than obtained during the first two months and a half of the new work.
