The same advices say that Hartman will shortly be promoted in recognition of his splendid work.
 Hartman is one of the few per- sons involved in the frauds who was arrested and not tried. He es- capped from the officers here and fled to Mexico where he remained for a long time. He became a scout un- der General pershing and after be- ing decoyed across the international boundary al Columbus, N.

TIE HIGHWAY MEETING.

It has at all times been the con- fention of The Star that when such enterprises as the Jefferson High way are under consideration. they should be discussed openly and freely, and not, as some have tried to do. by conilning the arguments so one side of the issue.
 It is with pleasure, then that The Star announces highway meeting for Friday night to which all are invited to come. and to participate. Furthermore it is glad to be assured that among those present will be William B. Owen, who IS chairman of the Arkansas State Highway commission. and is, therefore, aE authority on the subject to be dis cussed. And it can be pretty wei assured that Mir Owen will take pleasure in replying to any reason able and courteous question thai may be asked, and for this if for no other reason, The Star urges thai all who will, if the project goes thru, receive the benefits and pay the cost of the highway, be present and have in mind the things they desire to know.
 And, repeating assertions of the past, when we have intelligently weighed the benefits to the com munily of the highway, and the cost of securing it, We will be prepared to say-thru the will of a majority
 whether we will or will not have

\ Scrced on Good Roads and How
 Folks Feel.

\ farmers opposition to good roads in Polk county is like the pro verbal "plucking oG ones nose to spite his face"
 But I'm for those bad roads boost CTS. They are making some noise, creating interest, and l believe they will use ballyhoo on the other side ten times as strong within the year. They have some pep anyway and that is what it takes to have good roads.
 We want them to come down to Bog Springs and hold one ot thelr anti-over-the-bonds meetings. We want nothing hidden from our farm CTS.
 Half of these mountain sides are owned by wealthy class of city dweller, who will build rest homes on our rock-blessed lands. They are the kind of city brothers that count when we farmers want a road They say, Sure, have 20 acres of land, put me down for my share l am for you
 And our homesteaders come up with a new kind of bad roads argu- ment. They say; Put me down for as much work with my team as ii will cost my neighbor in cash. Some one said, money talks" but labor sure tells it what to say in these mountains.
 We want that si5,036.07 Uncle San has given to Polk county. Mir. Edi- tor, you know our rural post deliy- cry road is so bad we can't get The Star regularly Too many of us take it for one horse to carry. Watch Bog Springs Bubble

MRS. BROWN HAS GAINED 20 POUNDS
Was Confined to Her Bed and Chair for Over Two Years, and Thought She Would Not
 Live Long.

You can tell them that ii helped my wife too, and of all the people that have made statements about getting benefits from Tanlac, be- lieve we have the most cause to be thankful. for she thought she wouldn't be living long and the doc tor didn't give me any encourage ment."
 This remarkable statement was made by Mir. j. L. Brown, a we'll known carpenter of College Park, Atlanta. Mir. Brown added very seriously that he felt unable to ex- press his great appreciation for what Tanlac had done for his home and the mother of his eight children, and then went on to say.
 For over two years she has had to live practically on nothing but milk, being bothered as she was with bad stomach trouble that kept dragging her down until she was hardly more than a living skel- eton. She didn't seem to get any strengthening rest al night and simply had no energy for anything. In fact she spent about all her time between her bed and the chair and didn't feel like taking an interest in anything.
 She had a mighty bad breaking out on her ankles, too, and all the way up to her knees and these places would then swell up terri IbIy Her color was bad, too, and it just looked like nothing on earth could ever do her any good or liven her up.
 Well, some strange things hap pen in this world, and the change in her is certainly one of them, for 1 il was a short time ago that she was as bad off as shes been at all, and now shes well woman and I am sure happy man She has taken just three bottles of Tanlac and weighs i20 p0unds-that is. she's gained 20 pounds since she began taking it.
 My wife now eats heartily. sleeps good and feels as strong as she did wears ago. She is now doing all her own housew0rk and cooking and says she will never be able to say enough about this Tanlac. We don't mind who you tell about this for it's nothing but the plain, simple Itruth-and that don't hurt anybody. Genuine Tanlac is sold in Mena by the Jackson Drug X Furniture Company; Cove, Ark, by Fred w Gray; Hatfield Ark. by E. H. But Ter; Wickes, Ark. by ] A. Chilean; Grannis, Ark, by s. H.

Knocker or Booster?

When the Creator had made all good things. there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects, and when He had finished He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the Rattlesnake, the Hyena, the Scorpion and the Skunk so He put all these together, coy- cred it with suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked 1t with a yell low streak and called it a KNOCK FIR.
 This product was so fearful to contemplate that He had to make something to cOunteract it. so He took a sunbeam, put it in the heart of child, and the brain of a man, wrapped it in civic pride, covered it with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel, made it a lover of the fields and flowers and manly sports, a believer in equality and justice, worker for and supporter of every good thing, and called it a BOOSTER, and ever since mortal man has had the priv ilege of choosing his associates"
 The above is not new, but if is considered so worthy by the Bell Telephone Company that it is being sent to the manager of every branch offfca

AN ORJFCT LESSON.

htp tniu LHt ClhHtIS IedI any large marketing center will, if the traveller be an observant person, bring to his attention some facts that it will be we'll to heed. More especially will he do well to note them carefully if he is farmer
 One thing that will claim his at tention is that in the planting of crops by truck farmers he will ob- cerve almost a perfect unanimity in variety thru ont given community cabbages and tomatoes, onions and radishes. turnips and green corn, he will find the same variety being grown by all
 If this same man will happen into this same community at the time these crops are being marketed he will see the results of this system. He will see the result of standard ization. He will see products from any number of truck farms as sembled in one big shipment all consigned to the same merchant, and all of uniform grade and value. Each man knows exactly what his pro- duee is worth. because he knows that it measures up to the stand ard
 Had these truckers mixed" their products that is, had every man planted the variety of an given crop that most appealed to hint this facility in marketing could not have been attained.
 Here is food for thought for the regular farmer other than the trucker The great markets of the world have nicely adjusted stand ards in all the commodities they handle. 4 shipment of corn, for in stance. need not he of any particu- lar variety. but it MUST be all of ONE variety if the shipper would get the best price.
 Now let ds carry the lesson step further. All shippers know that it is easier to get the top price on a shipment of a number of ears of any commodity than a few hundred bushels. Hence 1t stands to reason that the more of given grade of any commodity a community can turn out the more readily it is mar keted and the better price 1t brings.
 Farmers would do we'll to not only establish farm standards, but neigh borhood standards as well. Organize your productive plan with a view to systematic and profitable mar keting Get together and decide on the most profitable crops the com munity is adapted to, and then as to the variety of each. When such an agreement has heen reached. much of the difficulty in marketing will have been overcome.
