IF Ynn 0ME INC0AEE TAX.

For the information, and in some cases perhaps the protection of its readers and the people of Polk county, Tie Star in this issue is devoting considerable space to the matter Of the payment of income taxes. and particularly to a statc- ment Of Mr. Eugene k Torbeti7 who, as an agent of the internal service, is spending some days in Mena.
 To begin with, every reader should by all means read this state ment, and then keep strongly in mind that the tax proposition is a war measure, and will be enforced with the severity of war, and that ignorance of the law will be no ex- cuse whatever. Furthermore, the penalties are severe, including a heavy fine and 30 per cent penalty for failure to report, and peniten- tiary sentence for fraudulent re- turns.
 Another point:
 Mir. Torbett is here to HELP the people. He will give correct infor- nation in case of doubt, and advice and counsel based on exact knowl- edge of the situation. The people may, and should, go to him as friend, and tell the exact truth and all the truth.
 But later, secret service agents will come and check over the re- ports and the work. These will be here te catch some one who has failed to make report, or has re- ported falsely. Then there will be no friendly assistance, but the cold blooded application of penalty
 Mr Torbett wants another point He says sometimes men are found who think they hre sharp enough to cheat Uncle Sam. But this, he says, cannot be done. That there are ways by which all such cheats can be found out, and then the punishment comes hard and swift.
 Better be careful than sorry"

NEW sERIAL NEXT WEEK.

The Star, in this weeks issue, completes 6 splendid serial in Big Timber by Bertrand W. Sinclair. It was a big, clean, outdoor story of life in the Northland--the kind Star readers enjoy.
 With next weeks issue will be started another serial, of a different type, but one that will particularly appeal to all good Americans at this time. It is "0ver the Top a war story from over there" written by Arthur Guy Empey, a machine gun ner who went thru actual service in France, and who knows not only the story, but how to tell it. Don't miss the opening chapter in The Star next week.

 With Enthusiasm.

Mrs. S. NJ. Riding and Mrs. Anna Randolph, who were at Vandervoort Saturday night to assist in the or ganization of branch of the Mena Red Cross chapter, report that the people of that community entered most enthusiastically into the work. The meeting was held in the NJ. E. church, South, and was preceded by a patriotic song service which put those in attendance in fine state of mind to take up the work which followed The branch was organ ized with a membership of 60, many of them having been secured thru the efforts of Miss Ruth Wiley, teacher in the Nandervo0rt schools During the meeting patriotic ad- dresses were made by the Rev. Mr. Clegg of the NJ. E. church, South, and by Dr. F. A. Lee. Following the organization of the Red Cross branch, other war activities were taken up,. such as the organization of the forces for the securing of the food conservation pledges and the sale of war savings and thrift stamps.

CHARGED WITH STEALING HOGS
Five Men Brought to Mena From
 Scott County.

Deputy Sheriff w. E. Reed and J. $. Henson of Acorn came to Mena Monday having in their custody Bert and Claude Pullman and Will liam. Nathan and Jack OConnor who had been arrested at Waldron on the charge of hog stealing, the affidavit having been made by C. B. Lyons who on February 6 missed two large hogs, and suspected these men of killing them. The men were taken before Justice of the Peace s. Ii. smith, and upon waiving prelim- mary examination they were bound over to the April grand jury, and each was placed under bond of $500 in default of which they were com niitted to the county jail It seems that the men are travelling over the country trading horses, and for a time had been in. Mena, and later eamped in the Foran Gap country, going thence to lWaldron.

A TERRIBLE LESSON

The death Sunday of two young Mena boys in the railroad wreck just below town is 8 terrible lesson that should not have been necessary.
 And yet. 1t is questionable if the grass will have covered the mounds of the graves of these victims of boyish foolishness and hardihood before other boys right here in Mena will be endangering their lives and limbs and harrassing the train men by the same hazardous practice of jumping trains and stealing rides. Bat certainly this iamentabie affair will set in motion movement among parents to keep better in touch with the habits and practices of their young sons.
 These two deaths, and the injury so a third youngster, were not the first happening of the kind here. Several years ago a young Mena boy was maimed far life while stealing rides on the trains. and lives today as warning to others-a warming to which few give heed.
 The Star does nc. know that this practice among the boys is more prevalent in Mena than elsewhere bat it does know that at intervals for years past the railroad officials have brought the matter to the no- tice Of the city officials. and have asked, and probably have been granted. the assistance of the police force in keeping the youngsters of tho trains And. in this last lament able incident, fl is said that tn. lrainmen. before leaving the yards ssoss | i'unsh spi bows efs the cars

FOR COTTON GROWERS.

The Star has few copies of The Knapp Method of Cotton Growing which sell at si00 per copy. These are beyond doubt very valuable to those who grow cotton and study to get the best results. Any farmer who is subscriber to the Star may secure a copy free Of cost by calling at the office so long as the supply lasts.
 There are not many so come quickly if you want one.

Declare Embargo on Hens

Dick Johnson dealer in poultry. was advised Tuesday by Okla homa Commission houses that lhe governor had placed an embargo on the buying and selling of hens. @he embargo becoming effective at noon on February fl. He has been ad- vised not to buy or to ship hens or bullets, either alive or dressed be- fore April. All other poultry may be handled as usual. By phone mes sage from Fort Smith he learned that the same rule would likely be adopted in this state The purpose of the embargo is to increase the egg production, and later, to in- crease the supply of poultry. Then, too, he says it will have the effect of forcing the dressed poultry out of cold storage.

HERE'S ONE ON MENA.

Since the Supreme court judges got thru tinkering with it last week, the so-calIed Arkansas bone-dry law reminds one of the shipment a Mena booklover was reported to haye received. The story runs that the Mena man was called to his telephone and the local express agent asked him if he was expect ing box of books from Fort Smith. When he replied in the affirmative, the agent responded: Well you'd better come down and get it right away-it's leakin'r Southwest American.
 There is good deal of fun, and many a joke has been cracked around Mena since the above was noticed, and the surmises as to tho identity of the book lover" has brought some startling guesses.
 But Of course, it all may be fake yarn. Who knows?

BOY IN \ PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Caught in Autos Mud Chains and
 Dragged Under Wheel Fender.

John, the five-year-old son of Dr. c. A. Campbell and Mrs. Campbell of Rocky met with peculiar accident last Saturday which came very near costing his life. Unbeknown to his father he started to climb onto the rear fender of his fathers auto just as the car was being started The mud chains caught the little fellows coat and he was dragged under the fender and then pinned between the fender and the wheel near the end of the running board When he was discovered, his little body was wedeed in so tightly that it was nec- essary to reverse the car in order to get him out. When extricated. it seemed that life was extinct, but he YVES soon revived, and examination revealed that his injuries consisted only cf q slight fracture of the left clavicle and bruises and scratches on his face and body. Today he is able to be up.

Card of Thanks.

It is with hearts filled with grati- Jude that we use this means of ex- pressing to the good people of Mena our heartfelt appreciation for the kindness and sympathy shown us in the great sorrow that has come to our home. Especially do we desire to thank the officers and members of the Red Cross and the Elks lodge, the officers of the county and city, and the business men in joining us in laying to rest our beloved son. In special do we desire to thank the individuals and the different organizations for the many beauti- full floral offerings. We feel our loss keenly, but we find great com pensation and comfort in the fact that our boy was brave enough to offer his services to his country.

NEW GOVERNMENT AGENT
 MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT

10 the FaFmefS. tfdfutHelS, FTuib
 Growers and Stock Growers of
 Polk County and Western Half of
 Montgomery County. Greeting:
 Since you have no county farm demonstration agent provided for this year, the U s. government has sent me to you.
 come not SO much as an advisor as a co-laborer. l bring what the agricultural colleges and experi- ment stations teach, added to a ripe experience in the actual work in tie field This added to your knowl- edae of local conditions and exper- fences will make for bigger and better crops this year than ever before.
 The great cry from our own peo- pie and especially the starving mil- lions of our allies is food. food. more food, and still more food. The north with it's short seasons is doing it's best and it is up 10 the South, supply or let millions starve.
 First, let us grow all we need for home use. This we have never done. Figures show that the aver age county of the South sends about si,0O0,00O to other states for meat and lard and bread. If we feed ourselves this much can go to feed the starving millions in Europe or at any rate to feed Aour hoys" who are giving their all that we, as well as the rest of the world, may be free.
 This war is going to be won, if at all, with food, and most of it must come from "our South" and each county must do it's best. Let us not be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Let every acre be titled and most of them bring two crops. We will try to give de- tails each week thru the press and will visit as many of you as de- sire us and talk about each acre separately.
 If you want to buy any fine stock let us confer with you about var icties and the best place to buy them. If you wish to buy seed get together and buy iH large quanti- ties. If any of you have any good seed to sell. let us know about 1t. Somebody wants to buy it. Home grown seeds are best anyhow. If anyone has good piece of land that he will devote to seed-growing let Us confer with you about it. Good seeds are scarce and high and getting more so every year Per- haps some one among you knows of a certain variety that you have tested and found to be excellent. If so, tell us about it and let us "pass it on"
 Above all, let us pull together. ! Let us have a farmers club or something of the kind at every l school house. The whole business 1 world is organized against the 1 farmer and he must organize also. ! Send for us if you wish an organi- 1 zation in your community.
