FNAF|RENEN AND
 EAGLES FLAG DAY
Gave Patriotic Parade and Raised High Old Glory With Patriotic Ceremony--Dr. Long Made
 Address.

The patriotic parade and flag raising which took place Thursday afternoon under the auspices of the members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the members of the Fire Department had the result of get ting a number of people to drop for awhile their usual vacations and to give their time and thought to ihe observance of Flag day.
 The program was started with a parade which formed at the court house, and proceeded from there south on Mena street and thence to Stilwell Park, where the ceremony of flag raising took place. The pa- rade was lead by F. H Daniels, driv- ing a float decorated with flags and buntings, drawn by four horses and loaded with bevy of from 20 to 9 girls, each carrying a flag. Then came the Eagles and the Bremen afoot followed by the decorated automobiles. Among the decorated cars were the J. B. Goss car driven by Mrs. Goss, the w. w. Townsend car, driven by Master Wallace Townsend, the s. |. Wood car. and the three Overland cars held in stock by Messrs Goss X Wood, all gaily decorated with flags and bunt- ing The prize for the best decor ated car, offered by Goss X Wood, local distributors of the Overland cars, was awarded to Wallace Townsend
 When the people had assembled, the ceremony of the flag raising was carried out. The exercises were opened with devout and compre- hensive prayer by the Rev. W. B. Green, pastor of the First Christian church, the prayer being such fervent and devout historical utter ance that Dr. l.. w. B. Long, in his later address, referred to it in strong terms of commendation Following the invocation, and as the band started the strains of the Star Span gled Banner, George Duganne, T. D. Cox and Ike Grant hoisted the flag.
 
 and as it reached the top of the pole, a spontaneous shout went Up from those assembled.
 The address of the afternoon was made by Dr. L. w. R. Long, who re- sponded to the invitation on very brief notice, but out of love for the flag, he delivered a touching tribute to the stars and stripes, pointing out what the flag means to the peo- pie of this country, and what it will mean to the people of the world when this war of democracy against autocracy shall have been fought and won, and when all will recog- nize that the stars and stripes are truly the flag of the people, by the people and for the people.
 The band music for the occasion was furnished by H. V. Hoehener, A. |C. Briggs, Hubert Knight, Ed York, Ralph Turner, Ed Reeves and Hugh Gateley, who were assisted by A. B. Gray and Tom Berry of DeQueen, and Ed Whipple of Hatfield.

shot again in the gray morning light from the hot muzzle. The rifle fell away from the shoulder. The black speck running toward the ranchhouse stumbled, as if stricken by an ax, and sprawled headlong on the trail. Throw ing the lever again like lightning. De Spain held the rifle back to his cheek.
 He did not fire. Second after sec ond he waited. Nan watched the rife slowly come down, unfred, and saw his drawn face slowly relax. Without taking his eyes off the sprawling speck, he rose stiffiy to his feet As if in dream she saw his hand stretched toward her and heard. as he looked across the far gulf, one word: Come" !"
 They reached the end of the trail. De Spain, rife in hand, looked back. The sun, bursting in splendor across the great desert, splashed the valley and the low-lying ridge with ribboned gold. Farther up the gap horsemen. stirred by the firing, were riding rap idly down toward Sassoon's ranch house. But the black thing in the sunshine lay quite still.

 With the cautioning words she passed the furnished weapon, glitter Ing yet with the raindrops, into his hand. A flash came from the distant ridge. Throwing his rife to his shoul- der, De Spain covered a hardly per ceptible black object on the trail mid way between Sassoon's ranch-houss and little bridge. Then he fired be- fore Nan could believe he had lined the sights. Once, twice, three times his hand fell and rose sharply on the lever, with every mark of precision, yet so rapidly Nan could not under stand how he could discover what his shots were doing.
 The fire came steadily back, and de- liberately. without the least intimation of being affected by De Spain's return. She had never before seen man shooting to kill another. The very horror of watching De Spain, at bay among the rocks, fascinated her. Since the first day they had met she had hardly seen a rife in his hands. She strove to look. The butt of the heat ing rife lay close against the red marked cheek she knew so well, and to the tips of the fingers every par ucle of the mans being was alive with strength and resource. Some strange fascination drew her senses out toward him as he knelt and threw shot after shot at the distant figure hidden on the ridge. She held out her arms and clasped her hands toward him in an act of devotion. Then. while she looked, breathlessly, he took his eyes an instant from the sights. Hes runningl" exclaimed De Spain as the rife butt went instantly back to his cheek. Whoever be is, God help him nowl-
 The words were more fearful to Nan than an imprecation. He had driven his enemy from the scant cover of rut in the trail. and the man was fleeing for new cover and for life. Bullet after bullet pitilessly led the escaping wretch. Suddenly De Spain jerked the rife from his cheek. threw back his head, and swept his left hand across his straining eyes. Once more the rife came up to place and flame

Young Man Was Held, However,
 Pending Telegram From Home.

Richard Nelson, representative of the church of the Latter Day Saints was taken into custody Satur- day morning by Sheriff Finger on the charge of failure to produce a registration certificate under the provisions of the selective draft bill. The young man reached Mena that morning, and upon being taken in charge by the sheriff insisted that he had sent his application to his home near Phoenix, Ariz., in the latter part of May, but that he had not yet received his certificate. A telegram received that afternoon by Sheriff Finger, from Sheriff w. H. WiIky of Phoenix, verified the young mans statements and added that he would forward the certificate at once. Thereupon Nelson was promptly re- leased.

OF |. FOR
ITALIANS
Menus are Restricted But
Prices Of Foodstuffs are
Kept Down.
CBy Assocfated Prsss.i

Rome, April 21.--After two years OF
war, Italy continues the cheapest
country In which to live of all those
engaged in the present struggle.
In the larger cities the housekeep-
ers menu mas become limited by gov
ernmental degree forbidding the sale
or meats and pastries on certain days
or the week. but otherwise the cost
or food has hardly doubled. In the
country towns and on the farms little
or no attention is paid to such re-
str1ctions and there food is scarcely
dearer than before the war except
Tor meat, sugar, and coffee While only
brown bread may be sold, it's price is
nve cents a pound, the government
shouldering the increased cost Of
wheat.
Governmental regulations forbidding
the sale OF meat on Thursdays and
Fridays, and of cakes, pastry, honey
and chocolate on Saturdays, Sundays,
and Mondays, have not limited con-
sumption but encouraged speculation
in all foods. When sugar was raised,
1t became difficult to buy and can
now only be had in scent packages
or on a purchase of coffee. When
meat sales were restricted, eggs were
SOLD at 3 to cents each or were stor-
ed for rise until huge quantities
were confiscated by the government.
The difficulties of housekeeping
have become such in the large cities
that sugar, eggs, and other articles
cannot be obtained by family cooks,
unless some member of the servants
family has political influence. For this
reason 1t is not unusual to see dip
lomats, ambassadors, ministers. con-
suls and other foreign officials going
to market and carrying home their
own packages. since the storekeepers
dare not refuse them the articles re-
fused the servants.
Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page
has been one of the persons in Rome
to try to solve the flour, ham, and
sugar problem by making an impor-
tation from the United States. At
present his IL the only family of the
American colony in Italy which has
as much as a barrel of sugar on hand.
Some American families gave I'D
housekeeping and went to live in
hotels but there, Since the food re-
strictions, they are unable to get but
ter with their bread at breakfast, and
in many cases have to substitute
honey for sugar in their coffee, food
substitute not unlike the molasses
sweetening prevalent during the Civil
war in the United States.

Such men as Yukio Ozaki, Japan's
great progressist. Saburo Shimada,
the president of the house of repre-
sentatives. and T. Taketomi, ex-min-

ously criticizing the government at
rallies in the provinces. Mr.. Ozaki. in
particular, has taken up the constitu-
tional issue. declaring that the abrupt
dissolution Of the house in the face Of
the majority was against the spirit Of
the constitution. He is laying special
stress on the fact that he himself was
not permitted to speak on the motion
of lack Of confidence, the dissolution
decree suddenly having cut off all de-
bate. .....
Speaking at Osaka. he urged the
public to study the circumstances and
causes of the dissolution and prevent
a repetition of such a harmful admin
istration. At the same meeting Mr.. Shi-
mazda declared: THE present cabinet
believes that the national politics
should be handled by handful of of

lie. Any one who supports such cab
