CIVIC WELFARE AND PLEASURE
Mena Commercial Club Enjoyed Program That Breathed Inspira- tion to Workers for Betterment
 in the Community.

The regular monthly meeting of the Mena Commercial Club held Thursuay night in the Star Hall, was an in- spiration to all present, the program combining words that brought cheer and courage to all who believe in and work for Mena's material and spirit ual uplift with the enjoyment that comes from choice music, both instru- mental and vocal.
 And congratulations were general that good percentage of the audi ence was composed of ladies, among them many who have long been ac- tive in contributing to all that IS creditable to our city. And it is pretty well assured that at an early date the ladies of Mena will be asked to provide program for a regular meeting, and if they do the men folks are certain to learn something of value in civic enterprise.
 The program was very appropriate ly opened by singing America" fol- lowed by a survey of What the Club Is Trying to De-" by Secretary Eastin, whose outline gave the hearers something to think about and evidenced the fact that something is being done for Mena.
 Mrs. David E. Dodd then gave a most delightful piano solo in swo parts, these being introduced by hmn- ourous remarkes that brought laugh laughter and applause.
 In the absence of County Demon strator A. J. Smith, W. Homer Pigg gave sn enlightening talk on the work being done in Polk county among tke farmers and with the schools Tn building up the livestock industry.
 Arkansas Prophecy" by Mrs. N. R. Oneal furnished much food for thought and pointed paths to future accomplishments that may well be sought and gained, and at the close, on motion of Dr. L. W. B. Long, an enthusiastic vote was cast demand ing that the paper be printed in The Star, and this will be done at an early date.
 Mrs. W. s. McLafferty and Mrs. W. H. Medlar rendered beautiful duet, their alto voices blending in such harmony as bring most earnest appre- citation. They were accompanied by Mrs Dodd at the piano.
 A number of short talks were made by citizens, each carrying some note of approval for our city and her insti- tutions, and some bringing into view the war and our duties to our coan- try.
 Secretary Eastin then gave several humorous dialect readings, and the meeting adjourned by singing verse of "The Star Spangled Banner" with Mrs. R. A Tomlinson as accompan- ist.
 The next meeting of the club, un- less special is called, will be on the fourth Thursday night in May.

SUGAR GAN NOW BE.
 HAD FOR CANNING.
W. I. Green, Federal Food Adminis- trator for Polk County, Has In- structions Governing the Sale
 by Merchants--Certificates.

w. l. Green, Federal Food Adminis- trator for Polk county, has received instructions to govern the distribu- tion of sugar for canning purposes. On making proper certificate, blanks for which should be secured by all merchants handling sugar, all who need sugar for the canning and pres ervation of fruits, may obtain needed supplies.
 Hamp Williams, state administrat- or, says:
 "I am instructed by the United States Food Administration officials at Washington to use every precau- tion to conserve our supply of sug- ar. When not purchased for can ming purposes, sugar must not be sold in quantity more than five pounds for city trade and ten pounds for country trade.
 ''The person who buys sugar un- der the pretext of canning and
 makes false statement in this re- spect to get larger amont of sugar than otherwise entitled to is a traitor to the government. If you find cases of this nature you should
 arrest such guilty parties on the charge of hoarding. They will be subject to severe penalty"
 The form of blank required fol- lows:
 SUGAR CANNING CERTIFICATE.
 I hereby declare to the United States Food Administration that de- sire to purchase from. ......... .... (City or Town) )...... ..... (County) ...... an amount of ...... pounds of sugar for my use for preserving and canning pur- poses only, and that l shall return any surplus not used for this purpose. I declare on MY HONOR that the foregoing is true and faithful state ment.
 Signed ................ .. Address .....,............ The attention of merchants is called to the necessity that signatures be plainly written, and all such certifi- cates to be returned to Hamp Will jams each week.

Same Rule Holds
Fast On Sunday

NASHVILLE, Oct. 2.-The fuel
administration in Washington holds
that the same rule applies to the use
of automobiles for Sunday Liberty
loan meetings as applies to use of
autos in gasless Sundays. It is earn
estly desired that people attend both
church and Liberty loan meetings on
Sundays, but the spirit of the presi-
dents request for the conservation of
gasoline is that our people use street
cars, buggies, farm wagons or walk,
unless the distance is so far as to
make it beyond their strength If
there is no other means available and
ones conscience will permit automo-
bile, may be used. Remember one
drop of gasoline saved over here may
mean one drop less of blood spilled
over there. Washington does not
permit the use of autos on Sunday
for Red Cross meetings.

Fuel Administrator for Tennessee.

Bulgaria deserts the central alli-
