Notice 10 Farmers!
AN NANT[HIGHWAY CAMPAIGN ISoN. Itsta,

AN ANTl-HlGHWAY CAMPAIGN IS ON Itstart- ted at Hatfield on the night of August B. The tanners held meeting. They all agreed that now is tie wrong time to build road The Kansas City Southern says SO aso and is volunteering to pay but small per cent of the cost to construct one.
 At the meeting D. E. Myers and Joe Lewis were se- lected to go up and down the road and hold meetings with the people and all get united the best plan to de- feat the BOND SYSTEM that is being used to build the road under. This is being done with a full knowledge that we already have splendid crosscounty road And as the Kansas City Southern says in recent letter n- tended for the people of the proposed highway district GALL GOOD ROAD MOVEMENTS WOULD SPEEDILY COLLAPSE ONLY FOR AUTOMOBILE OWNERS AND That is fact. It is also fact that the farmers will suffer the burden of the cost to build the road and considering the present cost of labor ma chinery and materials this burden would be something enormous.
 MEETINGS WILL BE HELD AS FOLLOWS
 Everybody come out as this is the most important issue that ever before the people of Polk county

STRANGER SUSPECTED OF
 DOPING WELLS AND SPRINGS
Sheriff Finger Called to Board Camp but Found Nothing to Confirm
 Suspicious.

Sheriff H. w. Finger made a trip to the Board Camp community Fri day night in his auto, driven by Carl Barham, to investigate the re- port of a suspicious character that was travelling over the country, vis- iting school houses and springs, arousing the suspicion that he might be doping the wells and springs. The man had been thru the Shady community, and the report of his wanderings was brought to Mena by J. M. Hatfield Mir. Finger found the man asleep at the Young home, near Board Camp. After searching the mans belongings, Mir. Finger con cluded there was nothing on which he could hold him. Among his eff fleets he found large American flag, a dictionary, old literature, old socialist ballots used in an election held in Chicago, and finally an old Polk county ballot of four years ago, when Mr Finger was first a candidate for sheriff. Mir. Finger did not ascertain why the man was carrying these things nor why he was wandering thru the country, ex- cept for the purpose of visiting friends and acquaintances of whom he seemed to have many.

THIS FATHER is PATRIOT.
z. P. Frachiseur Wanted Boys to
 Serve Country.

In connection with the acceptance of James Frachiseur of Grannis as physically fit for service in the Ma tionaI Army, Sheriff H. W. Finger tells interesting incidents relating to Z. P. Frachiseur, the father of the young man. On registration day, Mr Finger happened to be in Gran his when Mir Frachiseur, aceompa- nied by two sons and a son-in-law, came in to have the three young men register. He stated that the two sons had no reason in the world why they should not serve their country, and while the son-in- law became thirty-one years of age on June G, the day following, the old gentleman wanted to see that he also was duly registered. There was only one request that he made, and that was that the boys might be with him long enough to lay the crops by. Since then one of the sons has enlisted, and the other was ac- Icepted at the re-examination held Friday. The old gentleman came with the son Friday, and after being told that he had passed the physical examination he was satisfied, ask ing only that the boy might be 8! home until the crop was gathered

Dipping Stray Cattle.

Dr. H. R. Getz, in charge of the tick eradication in this county, re- ports that the reports of the dip pings carried on at the different vats in the county are coming in in very satisfactory form. The last re- port from Two-Mile was unique, he says. in that it showed that seven head of stray cattle had been dipped and was the first report which showed the dipping of stray cattle Dr. Getz points out that back of the uniqueness, it showed thoro and practical understanding of the fun damental principle of tick eradica- ton. which is dip every one"

He begins to prepare for dry wealth CT when he sets out the plants se- ting them deeply in well-watered and thoroly fertilized soil After completing the cultivation, he mulched the plants with grass and leaves from his yard, and at this time the soil around the plants is in fine shape for moisture.

vicksburg, Miss, Aug. i3, 1917. Judge Kelly,
 Dear Sir: want a drink-of water, water that is WATER. I am asking for permit, signed and sealed, so that when l get to Mena, in the near future, shall be duly authorized to go to the Park Spring, lie down on my belly-that is what's left of it-and put my face into the spring, right where it bubbles up between the round hole and the spout where the water that is water, runs off to the lake.
 l am not asking that this be a continuous performance-but for just one glorious, contenting filling of water. Water, not that caught from rainfalls, when it hasn't fallen much in three months, and is con fined in cisterns and not all of them "skeeter' proof. I am coming to get a drink of the pure stuff, right out of natures laboratory I want the document so that no officer or citi- |zen can charge me with guzzling without authority. You see Judge, this state is "bonedry' and I want a drink of water.
 Please make the permit and give it to one of my boys, Idlum or Bill, so I can get it when arrive at home.
