A.
Thomas Watson, representative of
that state.
Blows From Within
in the league, the great charter
is engulfed, the sovereignty of the
people disappears, and a universal
monarchy is at last established.
THE council of the league will
absorb within itself judicial power,
legislative power and executive
power.
1T will be a supreme court Of the
world, supreme legislature of the
world, a supreme executive OF the
world.
1t will evolve its own army, ITS
own treasury, Its own system of
finance, its own civil service.
ut pretends to harmonize democ-
racy with Imperialism, the kings
with the republics.
1T pretends to make seamless
garment out of thirty-three, varie-
gated pieces. 8
1T pretends TO expect interna-
tional melody out Of thirty-three dis
cordant national notes.
IF its real purpose is to put an
end to just such disorder as the
American colonists created, and the
French created, and the South
Americans created when they broke
the yoke of tyrannical kings, then
the league will be q success.
"If the real purpose is to create
an international guaranty and collec-
ton agency for the great bankers
and bondhOlders Of indebted nations,
then the league will be success.
''If the real purpose Is to perman-
emily fasten the yoke of the con-
querors upon Egypt, Asia Minor,
Africa, India, Oceanica and the
greater part Of China, then the
league will be success.
1.-The president of the United
States had mo authority to make q
new government for this country
but so far as his signature and Of
fetal conduct could commit you to
it he had done so.
HE, your agent, sells you into
foreign bondage.
Give the people chance to vote
ON this league!
THE question can't be settled by
speeches; it must go to the polls!
1.-THE president says he will appeal
to the country by making fifty
speeches.
"Dadburn his fifty speeches.!
1.-THE whole world is sick and
tired of his everlasting speeches.
What the people want is fair
chance to make some speeches them
selves.
They've been bulldozed and
gagged so long that they have an
accumulated surplus of speeches to
dispose of.
''Plague on this eternal flow of
presidential rhetoric.
1--WE want the vote.
''It is high time the voters of this
Republic were allowed to take a
hand in their governmental affairs.
1--WE have never had an admins
tration whose methods were so full
of secrecy, duplicity, favoritism for
the lords of special privilege.
Already President Wilson is
spreading the American army over
Europe and Asia.
"In the name of the Creator that
made us, when and where is this
Wilsoian madness to stop?"

EDITORIALS.

Some people in Polk county don't
 know who are our county officers. Not
 long since a bright little boy asked
 his teacher who is our representative.
 She hesitated little and said "I4it- tie boy, I just can't remember his
 name, but I will look it up." She
 looked in the dictionary and looked in
 the Mena Star, but failed to find his
 name. Our county officers are not
 hustlers. Our representative voice
 should be heard in our legislative
 hall in the interest of the voters of Polk county. Tell us why we have a law to make us dip our cattle. Tell Jus why we must be taxed to build the Jefferson Highway, and tell us why 'the voters of Polk county voted |against a new state constitution. Let Jus hear from our County Represen- tative. l think it would be nice to have the Star to keep the names of |all county officers in print before the people all the time. The following are the names of our County Officers: H. W. Finger, County Judge. w. L. Parker, Circuit Clerk. Will Alexander, County Clerk. W. P, Mount, County Treasurer. LA. Thornton, Sheriff. Tom J. Wilbanks, County Supt. J. A. Hughes, Assessor.

School directors hold very respon-
 lsible. position in this country today. Did you ever stop to think what a ,very important thing it was to hire a good teacher to teach your school? They must not only have the proper
 |education, but they must set good
 example to the young. Must not be slovenly or dirty, but neat and clean;
 la good reader and singer, so you will be proud of your teacher when called |on to represent your school. Hire the
 teacher that will do you the most good lin your community, not the one that goes home on Friday night and does not return until Monday morning. They are not interested in your com
 munity. Hire the teacher that has not
 too many things to do at home. Look after the teacher that will do the most good in school and in the community, and pay them salary so they can live and support themselves. Think of all
 these things when you hire your
 teacher for this year.

 Owen Owens, farmer of Grand view, recently sold % ewes and 37 lambs for $1 ,005.25, the sales being made to Carroll county farmers.

not only kills all the ticks, but it is sanitary and makes a COW healthy. It cleans her skin, helps to make the milk pure, helps to make fat cattle and it fixes your cattle to get $2 to $5 more for them in the market. Now is the time to kill the ticks. Bring your cattle to Che vats early and dip regularly to get the best results. Ev- erybody dips now with smile.

Cove has had several land buyers here the past week. Our farms are looking fine now. A great prospect for bumper crop this year. Farmers report a good stand and plenty of rain and plenty of sunshine. Our real es- tate men say they will have hundred men here during the next 60 days to buy Polk county farms. Cheap land in Polk county is a great attraction for land buyers. There never was a time in the history of Polk county when there was as much land put into cultivation as now It shows that the country is getting more prosperous. So don't be afraid of Polk county land.
The Mena weekly star., 1919-05-15

What is it that makes our country grow and develop and prosperous? It lis energy, hard work, and good man. 'agement. The farmer of today has a desire to be more up-to-date in farm
 ing. He wants better grade of cat
 tie, better grade hogs, his farm put in
 a better state of cultivation, better house to live in. He wants better schools, better churches. He wants the Jefferson Highway, good truck or automobile to take the products of the farm to market. Also good mar ket and good prices, and rural route to bring the Weekly Star to his door, so he can read all about Polk county and the world news.
