ROPE MADE FROM HoLLYHoCK
Mena Young Man May Have Found
 Substitute For SisaI.

Specimens of rope which Claude Clark of Mena has made may be the means of utilizing a new material in this industry and opening up a new source of production of Polk county lands. Specimens of the rope left at the Commercial club rooms do not af- ford any clue they came from the fi- bres of the ordinary hollyhock, yet it is this common flower that furn- ished the material, young Clark stat es. Secretary Eastin has sent spec imens of the new rope to the De pertinent of Agriculture at Wash ington and also to two leading rope manufacturers. Should he receive a reply encouraging the production of hollyhock rope plans will be made to produce the flowers commercially J. F. Little, when shown the rope, said that when boy, he made strings from hollyhock flores, but had never thought of making rope.

 Lo0sens Corrs So They

 Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispens- ing freezone, the recent discovery of Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
 A quarter of an ounce costs very it- tie at any store which handles drugs, but this is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You apply just few drops on the tender, aching corn or toughened cal Jus and instantly the soreness is re- lieved, and soon the corn or callus is so shriveled that it lifts right out without pain. It is sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the sur rounding skin.
 This discovery will prevent thous- ands of deaths annually from lockjaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns. Adv.

Shouldn't Pose as Umpire.

Moreover, we should find out what the President means by contin- ually referring to this country mere ly as the associate, instead of the ally, of the nations with whose troops our own troops are actually brigaded in battle. If he means that we are something lees than an ally of France, England, Italy, Belgium and Serbia, then he means that we are something less than an enemy of Germany and Austria.
 We ought to make it clear to the world that we are neither an un- trustworthy friend nor an irresolute foe. Let us clearly show that we do not desire to pose as the umpire between our faithful and loyal friends and our treacherous and bru- tai enemies

American Officers With Arms Shot Away Evidence of Foes Barbarity.

 Away Evidence of Foes Barbarity.
 "To. give you an idea of German barbarity I can tell you story of an American infantry captain, who told it to three other men and my self" writes Captain R. C. Coley of Cleveland. Ohio. He is now carry ing papers and official dispatches in a large American headquarters about thirty miles from here. One night he and his company went over the top and he was captured by the Germans, The next morning the German ar- tillery officer tied the Yankee cap tain to small field cannon, with his hands in front of the mouth of the gun. They loaded the cannon and fired it, blowing both hands off and knocking the captain unconscious. When he had recovered the German officer said to him: Now go back to your comrades and show them what we do to the Yankees The captain staggered back to his own lines, where he was given first aid and sent to a hospital. After weeks of treat ment he recovered, but with both hands gone.
 He could have gone back to Amer lea and been honorably discharged, but he asked permission to stay in France and do his bit in some way or other. Today he walks from one building to another in large head quarters town carrying papers and officials orders underneath his arms. He is man about 28 years old, as fine looking fellow as l have seen in the army, and after suffering the loss of both hands, refused to resign his commission, but preferred to stay in France until the end of the war. And that's just the kind of men we have in the American Army.

Nants Demand for Surrender.

When the German people repu- diate the Hohenzollerns, then and rot until then, it will be time to dis criminate between them and their masters. I hope the Senate and the House will pass some resolution de- manding unconditional surrender of Germany as our war aim and stating that our peace terms have never yet been formulated or accepted by our people and that they will be fully discussed with our Allies and made fully satisfactory to our own people before they are discussed with Ger many"

County Chairman of Construction

Clyde Cunningham of Mena has been made chairman of the Non- War construction board off off the Polk coun- ty Council of Defense. The board will have authority to pass upon all new construction work proposed. It is the desire of the state construction board to curtail as far as possible all construction work during the war that labor and materials may be con- served for essential industry.

EXECUTIONS MOST
 MERCIFlJI THING THING
Red Terror Practiced by the Bolshe- wiki Makes Days of French Rev olution Seem Almost
 Humane.

Stockholm, Oct. 5.--Executions are the most merciful of the Red Terror practiced in Moscow and Pc trograd according to several obser- vers who have just arrived in Swe- den. These men have watched Bcl- sheviki activities in the two great Russian cities for many weeks. They had no personal interests involved and no personal friends affected by the reign of slaughter and torture which probably is unparalleled in the worlds history.
 While thousands perhaps have been executed, the list of victims is far less appalling than the ruthless manner in which political prisoners have been sent to death without a semblance of legal trial, the heart lessness with which they were treat ed and utter indifference of the Bol- sheviki officials to appeals of heart broken relatives who have been kept in suspense and not allowed to learn what has become of loved ones.
 Verified stories of scenes at Mos cow and Petrograd prisons eclipse descriptions of the barbarian of the middle ages and make the cruelty of the French revolution seem almost humane. Women prison officials, and many of them are women, are even more heartless than men and trample under foot all the better in- stincts expected of their sex
 In Petrograd Madame Jakovleva has been placed at the head of the commission for suppression of coun- ter revolution and it is greatly to her credit that the terror has abated somewhat under her administration. She apparently hesitates to shoot with the same indifference that char acterized the regimes of Moses Uritzky and William Shatoff, an American-trained anarchist who held the post for short time after Uritz- ky was assassinated late in August.

Would Declare War On Turkey.

"The only peace offer which we should consider from Germany at this time is an offer to accept such terms as the Allies, without our aid, have imposed on Bulgaria. We ought to declare war on Turkey with out an hours delay. The failure to do so hitherto has caused the talk about making the world safe for de- mocracy to look unpleasantly like mere insincere rhetoric. While the Turk is left in Europe and permitted to tyrannize over subject people the world is thoroughly unsafe for de- mocracy.

ROOSEVELT STANDS
 FOR SURRENDER
Urges Senate to Take Affirmative Actien Against a Negotiated Peace With Germany Ur-
 ges Action as Real Ally.

Oyster Bay, Oct. 25.-Theodore Roosevelt sent duplicate telegrams tonight to United States Senators edge, Poindexter and Johnson, in vhich he charact erized as thorough ly mischevious" many of the four teen principles enunciated by Presi- dent Wilson if they are to be made the basis of peace. The telegrams follow:
 As an American citizen, I most earnestly hope that the Senate of the United States. which is part of the treaty making power of the Uni ted States, will take affirmative ac- tion against a negotiated peace with Germany and in favor of a peace based on the unconditional surren- der of Germany
 Dictate Peace With Guns.
 'I also declare against the adop- tion in their entirety of the fourteen points of the Presidents address of last January as offering basis for a peace satisfactory to the United States. Let us dictate peace by the hammering guns and not chat about peace to the accompaniment of the click of typewriters.
 "The language of the fourteen and the subsequent statements ex- plaining or qualifying them are nei- ther straightforward nor plain, but if construed in it's probable sense, many and probably most, of these fourteen points are thoroughly mis- chievous, and if made the basis of a peace, such a peace would represent. not the unconditional surrender of the United States.
 Naturally they are entirely sat- isfactory to Germany and equally naturally they are in this country satisfactory to every German and pacifist and Socialist and anti American so-called internationalist.
