VIII not have to register in order tc

lag holds.
While the law giving women the

ject embraced in a bill and not ex-
pressed in the title. is unconstitu-
uOnal- since the constitution provides
that the caption shall summarize the
measures in the bill
For this reason, the attorney gen
eral holds that it is only necessary for
women residing in cities Of 10000 to
register in order to vote.
Can't Write. Can't Vote.
The attorney general holds that
each woman applicant for registration
must fill out her own application
This is going to make the work Of
registration very slow, according to
collector Richey. Since the law makes
this provision, Mr. Looney holds that
a woman who cannot fill out her own

Congratulates Polk County.

F. R. Grain, now cashier of the First State Bank at Pattonville, Tex, but formerly in the same position with the Merchants Bank at Vandervoort, writes The Star as follows:
 "Pattonville, Tex, July 23, 1918. "The Star Publishing Co.,, Mena, Ark. Gentlemen: I am handing you herewith my check for $1.50 for The Star for another twelve months. I find it hard to do without The Star now, even if have not lived in Polk county now for more than two years. "I feel very proud to know of the that Polk county is mak- ing in the way of importing blooded stock of all kinds and in eradicating the tick; also for the patriotic spirit shown in supporting the different campaigns to win the war.
 If opportunity is afforded please congratulate Sheriff II. W. Finger for me for his work in ridding Polk coun- ty of lawless elements, outlaws, draft resisters, burglars, etc, and especial ly for the work done in the vicinity of Vandervoort, my old home. would like to take him by the hand.
 Respectfully yours,
 "F. R. Grain"

DELAYING THE GOOD ROAD

The postponement of action in building the highway thru Mena will be a deep disappointment to many, but the commissioners, in view of the high cost, certainly have reasons to justify them in some hesitation. It is quite shock to people to find the road would cost right at sS,0O0 a mile. because folks have not become entirely used to the high prices, even if they do meet them everywhere and everyday. Rock highways at $S,000 a mile are, after all, in keeping with cotton at 30 cents and up, wheat at $2.20, potatoes at s2, and all like produc.s, te say nothing of prices for farm machinery, wagons, harness, shoes, etc.
 Bue it is, nevertheless, we'll to study the situation carefully before going further, but it is hoped solu- ton may be found to allow the move of progress to go forward. One fea- ture of more than ordinary moment is the fact that never in Polk coun- tvs history has there been a time when the labor and the money that would be distributed from the road building would come in better than 
 this fall and winter. The drouth has shattered hopes of good crops-al- most of any crops at all--and the building of road would do much to relieve the stress that seems inevi- table.

SOLVING A BAD PROBLEM.

T. J. Watts of Parks was in town Saturday and said he would not make enough corn for one square meal for an Arkansas razor back on account of the dry weather. Bat that he had launched into the lumberhauling busi- ness and believed he would get by and be able to purchase few W. S. S. and Liberty Bonds.-Scott County Record.
 That's the kind of pluck that wins most battles in life. But for just such men an opportunity to help build good road for his community at good wages would be most well come. And most men would receive enough pay for two or three weeks work to pay their full share of the cost during the coming twenty years or for the life of the bonds. In the meantime they would get the help when they needed it most, and have the benefits to be derived from the road during the whole period.
 With short or no crops to gather there's going to be many a man who would gladly grasp such a chance to help himself and his county.
The Mena weekly star., 1918-08-01
ONLY A RuMoR

A rumor has been going the rounds the last few days that, not officially denied, has caused good deal of un- easiness.
 It has been said and repeated that Mena would have no high school the coming school year.
 On highest authority, The Star takes pleasure in setting this disturb ing rumor at rest. There will be q high school, and every possible effort will be put forth to make it even bet. ter than usual
 The rumor may have resulted from the fact that several who had applied for places on the faculty and had been elected later tendered their resigna- tions. The board has applications for the places under consideration. and in due time will employ full corps of instructions.
