Yield of Fine Potalnes

County Judge A. F.. Wear just re- gently dug his fall crop of potatoes and secured a yield of 6 bushels from an acre of ground. While the yield Is not unusually large the quality of the potatoes is extra fine and Judge Wear states that as inc tubers were turned out of the ground he concluded they were as fine as he had ever raised. sppei- mems brought to The Star office av- craze three-fourths of pound each. Like the other farmers who made a success of fall crop pofa- toes this year, Judge Wear plowed the ground deep in the spring and then continued to cultivate 1t until July i5, when the seed was planted There was a dust muloh of several inches on the soil and aside from the moisture thus conserved. the potatoes grew practically without rain.

\ Governor Who Helps Boys Make
 (,ood

There is an article about Governor eapper of Kansas in the November American Magazine The author of it says:
 Arthur Capper. governor of Kan sas. believed one year ago that any boy with enough ambition in him to wish to make a start for himself could be trusted to pay his debts. To back up this belief Governor Cap per lent about three thousand dol- lars to one hundred and two boys in that many Kansas counties. with the understanding that the borrowed money was to be used to buy one hog the further stipulation being that the animals should be pure bred. Of any breed the boy might wish to select. II was agreed, also, that if any boy won a prize in county or state fair with his hog the governor would duplicate the amount from his own pocket As might have been expected the cash fer in the governors own business house hooted when he heard of the plan He hooted more when the drafts began to arrive from the boys as they bought their hogs and began the years work. But he has ceased to hoot Only one boy of the one hundred and two made a complete failure and this was what lawyers call the ihterposilion of providence, the hog the boy bought having died ingloriously before her task began. Not dollar has been lost, and the reports of the youthful sLockmen show that with the exception men toned, every one of them made an excellent profit. Indeed the records contain stories that might encourage many man with a few dollars to invest"

MINING LTBFRTY BONDS.

While in Fort Smith this week tne writer met a friend who had been in the personal work of the Liberty Bond sale. He related two instances that came under his ob- servation that have more than or dinary interest
 The solicitors visited a laundry where a number of girls were em- ployed, and where the maximum wage was not in excess of S9 a week One girl spoke up and said:
 Yes, want a bond. I have a sweetheart over in France and want to do my part. Small as it is it may help bring him back to me" II is recorded that every girl in the place bought a bond-a dollar down and a dollar a week.
 The combination home and busi- ness place of a German family was visited. The husband was away, and the hausfrau was attending to business and she asked:
 How much can we buy?"
 On being told she could buy as much as she desired and could pay for, she. without hesitation, said:
 Since we came here we have made and saved lots of money, and we will be ready tomorrow and give you half of it for bonds If more is needed later we will give all of it. We came to this country 10 get our children away from the tyranny of the kaiser and now we want to help to whip him when he fights against America"

 The bachelor may contend for a right to his own opinion, but the married man knows it is a question of courage, with him.
 These are the days when the deal- err in ice and coal gets all mixed up in an effort to determine which product to push the hardest
 The venerable old axiom that all that goes up has to come down is in serious danger of being contradict. ed in the ease of food prices.

 It is refreshing to hear of at least one honest excuse for raising prices. The oyster men have put up the price of their fruit because other articles of food are dearer.
 Prosperity. if is said, is causing a shortage of one-dollar bills. We had noticed it, also a shortage of two-dollar bills, and five dollar bills, and ten-dollar bills, and several other denominations.

WIFE OF ENGINEER
 GAINS 25 POUNDS
G. G. Geiger Says His Wife Suffered With Rheumatism for Years Tanlac Entirely 0vereOmes
 Trouble.

~Tanac has not only relieved my wife of very severe attack Of rheu- matism, but she has actually gained Twenty-Five 9 pounds since she began taking the medicine, said Mir c. G. Geiger, Atlanta, Ga, for num- Der of years employed as engineer by the Georgia Railroad
 T don't believe ever saw anyone suffer from rheumatism as much as she did, continued Mr. Geiger in his statement to the Tanlac repre- sentative. Sometimes her feet would swell so she couldn't get her shoes on The pains in her arms were SO great at times they felt like they were about to drop of. She had severe headaches, and was dig zy and nervous all the time and un- able to sleep we'll at night Her ap- petite failed her and she lost a great deal in weight and strength She sometimes got so bad off she would have to go to bed and stay for weeks at time When she wasn't in bed she felt so tired and played out she was never able to look after her housework.
 She tried all kinds of medicine, but nothing seemed to do her much good and when I began to hear so much about Tanlac, l just made up my mind to lay all the other medi- cines aside and put her on Tanlac.
 She has now finished her fourth bottle and she is like different woman. The rheumatism has been entirely relieved; she doesn't have the headache any more, is no longer nervous like she used tO be. and she sleeps like a baby. She has splen- did appetite and has been gaining strength and weight right along, and, as 1 have already told you, she has gained twenty-five pounds. She is full of life and energy now and is looking after the housework like she hadn't ever been sick.
 T tell you, it's just wonderful the way this medicine has helped her for she was almost a nervous wreck when she started taking it. I'll nev- CT be able to tell you how thankful I am for what it has done for her, and I'm recommending if to all my friends. Many of them have already begun taking it on my recommends ton"
 Tanlac is sold in Mena by Jackson Drug X Furniture Co.,, and by one established agency in every town Adv.

Tractors Built Roads Cheaper.

The three tractors that have been working the Benton county roads since May lst have built and graded l60 miles of road at from Sl0.l3 per mile for the Mason Valley road, which was the lowest cost, to S37.7S per mile on the Mike Mason road, which was the highest. The record for quick work was made on the new road from here to Gravette. when a mile and quarter was grad ed in fl hours al a cost of S21.93.
 As an example of the superiority over old equipment the Monte Ne road of two miles was built at a cost of Sit.22, while if the road was built by teams it would have cost at least S200- Benton County Record.

 Captain Fox, who spent short lime here, comforting with the ad- Iutant generals department. said That the rangers were kept reason ably busy repulsing local raids on Texas ranches where efforts are made to steal cattle. These raids were confined only to small bands
