WANTS 10 PASS THE
 GOOD THINGS ALONG
T Just Want to Tell Everybody What TanIac Did for Me- Declares Mrs. J NJ. Mays, of Augusta, Georgia

live always believed in passing good thing along and that's just why I want to tell everybody what Tanlac has done for me, said Mrs. J. NJ. Mays, wife of weil-known coal and wood dealer. residing at 17l9 Twelfth street, Augusta. Ga, some time ago.
 For fourteen long miserable months I suffered with disordered kid neys, severe headaches and other ser ioas complications urtil my life was just one day of torture after another, P she continued. My Ny appetite failed me entirely and food seemed to poison my system My extreme nervousness made it almost impossible for me to sleep and was dragged down by one trouble after another until l thought every day would be my last and was told that an operation would be the only hope for my life l refused to allow the operation, however, and aft CT reading what Tanlac had done for 8 friend of mine, l tried it as last resort. T honestly believe that Tan lac is the best medicine in the world; right after taking the first few doses l began to improve and have picked up in weight until l am now fifteen pounds heavier than when l started taking Tanlac. l haven't had head ache since l began using it and my kidneys have stopped troubling me entirely. I am relieved of all that dreadfur suffering and in better condi- tion than l have been in fourteen months past"

And, again, in the beginning of this race, I asserted that 1 would not connect myself in any way with a ring and have never heard of my opponents &C., eusing me of such. So I feel that it is my duty to be as fair to them as they have been courteous and just to me.

coMING FAR nod sLow.

Mir. R. Golf, to whose energy and planning is mostly due the effort G organize Polk county systematically to meet the calls for such war activi- ties as the Red Cross and '. Nj. ( A reports that thus far only about i0o have volunteered. and to make it q success there should be at least 10o]
 Doubtless this is largely because there has not been sufficient general understanding of the plan.
 In briefest form 1t is as follows:
 First, the entire list of men of the county of voting age will be ean- vassed. ard all such as are believed to be able to pay sloo a month to Polk county's war work fund, or $500 i na lump sum. will be property err tered on cards
 ! With these will be entered the names of the "volunters," those who, not being men of voting age, volun- teer to share equally in this fine en- terprise. This volunteer list may comprise women, girls, boys or chil- dren-any except the class 1--tne men first named.
 When these two classes-the men
  and the Volunteers are cardei. all the cards will be placed in a suitable receptacle, and a public drawing will be held
 Tine first fe6G names drawn viii be drafted to pay si.o0 month for F months.
 The balanee-those not drawn twill be drafted to pay $500 cash, this to be their part for the year, and the resulting fund to be used to meet the Red Cross call expected this month.
 To make this movement success ito place Polk county on proper basis to meet these demands, iIs estimated that there must be at least 1000 Volunteers.
 There is now about one-tenth that number.
 Will you do your part?
 If so, send your name to R. Gofi, or  to The Star.
 The drawing will be held Tuesday May l4, and it will be necessary fol parties desiring to aid in this work to have their names in by that date All names should be sent to R. Golf Mena. Ark.

TRAGEDY AT SEA RECALLED
 BY BARON RHONDDA
The Sinking of the Lusitania Three Years Ago Aroused the Civilized
 World.

London, May 7.-In connection with the national war bond campaign, Baron Rhondda, the food controller, who with Lady Mackworth, his daugh- ter, was aboard the Lusitania when she was torpedoed three years ago to- day, has sent the following message to the national war savings committee:
 Today is the third anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania. Many events and many emotions have come upon us since then. Our memory is laden with incidents that have stirred the surprise and anger of the civilized world. It will still keep in remem- brance of the tragedy of the Lusitan- Ia, a tragedy enacted by an emperor and people who flung to the winds all restraint of honor and chivalry. The kaiser will be known in time to come as the Herod of the twentieth century, who caused Rachel to weep for her children.
 Worse even than the sinking of the vessel was the sinister way in which it was planned and the shouts of exultation that afterwards swept thru Germany. 4 medal was struck "a medal in commemoration of a crime. To rejoice in doing evil is surely the depth of degredation.
 "The sinking of the Lusitania made the world see plainly the inherent criminality of it's foe. On the brow of Prussia was the mark of the beast.
 You will recall your first emotions on hearing of the sinking of the Lusi- tania. Germany has not changed since Let US not relax our efforts until we have destroyed the evil spirit who planned and rejoieed in such a crime.

 And this Is true as gospel, and other counties as well as Jefferson are dis tinguishing themselves by their works Arkansas. long the butt for fool Jokes, and even as that other everyday sub feet for the jester, the Ford auto, has risen in power and service. And as this war, because of which our nation Is calling for deeds of sacrifice, is giving it's people their opportunity te prove themselves and the world a chance to view our grand state side bv side with it's sisters that have been loo prone to preen themselves as faI ahead of Arkansas.
 And the comparison will be good for Arkansas.

 As they wait over there they watch every movement for a surprise attack from the enemy. and are ever ready to dispose of the spies and sripers.

A THING TO WATCH CLOSELY.

All too often when a horrible affair, like the murder of 4. D.
