The fire was discovered by Mir. and Mrs. J C.. Frazier as they were on the way to meet train No. 2, and if it had mol been for the prompt action of MT. Frazier in giving the alarm and in assisting in getting the burning bale and another bale belonging to the same man, out of the barn, the chances are that the entire building would have been destroyed.

HOW A HAPPY FAMILY LOST ONE
4 Little Story of Tragic Incident
 in Bird Life.

One day last week at home in Mena where every sort of bird is so welcome that none are inten- tionally frightened, a tragedy oc- cured that brought regret to more than the birds themselves.
 A flock of fourteen quails were seen to come thru a fence and around in front of the barn. Here they picked up grain that had been dropped in feeding, and, apparently very much at home. went on into the driveway entrance, one in the mean time perching as sentinel at a point of vantage. After a time the lit- tie flock, seemingly well content, followed the roadway to the resi- dence, scratching among the leaves ln the full enjoyment of the sun shiny day. After picking up the chance morsels about the door they gathered under tree nearby and continued for sometime in what ap- parently was happy family coun- eil.
 But, something, no one knows what, gave them fright, and with a whir of wings they took flight. and one, by some miscalculation. struck the wire of tennis net and dropped, mortally wounded. to the ground. Two-it might have been the parents of the brood-came back and for a little while hoped around and in evident distress, pecked at the fallen one, then flew away.
 The interested witness to the whole affair would gladly have seen the bird recover and join it's com- panions, but when there was no chance for this, took the practical view point, and a delicious bit was served at a later meal.
 But that dainty would gladly have been given up for another sight of the fourteen where now there is one less.

HOME GUARD IS
 COMING SLOWLY
.d;n,ant General Formulates Rules and ReouIations That Give It a Military Status-GOyernment
 Cannot Supply Guns

Itlle Rock, Nov. l5.-The Home Gnard organizations are being put nm a new basis. The reorganization is coming slowly, but with greater snretv that it did when the system was first started. The Adjutant General has formulated rules and rec1lations which will give the 6uard military status.
 The purpose of the Home Guard is not only to guard public utilities, preyent riots, etc., but to foster pa triotism and promote the health and efficiency of our young men by drilling and outdoor exercise.
 A commander with the rank of Major is to be appointed for each Congressional district, and he will have charge of the county and com munity organizations. On account of the urgent need for all possible munitions in the equipment of the millions of men to be sent to France, the government will be unable to supply the Guard with guns, and it is suggested that equipment be bought by the individual members or by popular subscription.
 Tt behooves all of us,' says Gen. England. to stand firmly behind the President and not embarrass the government by persistent demands for rifles and equipment which can not be supplied at present"
 It is announced that hereafter the military law and regulations of the state will be strictly adhered to i'll the discipline and instruction of all Home Guard units. No unit larger than a battalion will be authorized, and then only when city or town has at least three maximum com panies. All companies will report direct to the Adjutant general A special uniform. with insignia. small arms, etc, are designated, and ev- erything is done to place the Guard on fixed and definite basis for service.
