TELLS OF TRAVELS IN FRANCE
Stanley Jarvis Writes Mother OF In
terestlng Experiences

Following is an interesting letter
from Stanley Jarvis. written on Nov.
20 to his mother. Mrs. Minnie Jarvis:
well, Mother. ! got a whole arm
full of mail yesterday and among it was
four from you so l guess l had better
get busy and answer them.
AT last the old struggle is over and
everything is quiet and peaceful once
more. 1t sure is a grand and glor-
ious feeling to walk around and know
you don't have to keep ducking shells
or wear your gas mask about half Of
the time. The last month of this old
war was the hardest of it all but we
knew that we were going to win so
we didn't mind it so much at that.
The last tire positions that we were
in we were under shell fire most of
the time and fellow wasn't safe very
far from his dug-out.
Just think year ago the oath
of next month we left Hoboken docks
for France and after spending IA days
tossing around the ocean, ducking sub
marines and throwing our meat over
board. we arrived at Liverpool, Jan
uary T. and unloaded in a little Eng
lish ferry boat. Then were put onto
a comical little train and taken to
Winchester, Eng and stayed at Camp
Morn Hill, just outside the town, for
two DAYS. Then went by train to
South Hampton, crossed the English
Channel and landed at lie Harve,
France, on January 18th"
Stanley tells of his various moves
and that on July 9Th he left for the
front, arriving on July 9th and fired
our first shot at the Huns on July 18th
That was on the Chateau Thierry
front We went into many different
positions and then were moved to the
st. Micheal front and from there to
the Verdun front and from there to
our last battle on the Argonne front
and our last position was at Montiguy
just this side of the Mouse river, where
the BOche signed up. We stayed there
a few days, then pulled our guns off
and went to Blircourt, France, where
we are now waiting for further or
ders. This is an outline of my trav-
els since we hit this side of the pond
and when l get back | will tell you all
about it,"

Chamberlain's Tablets

When you are troubled with indiges-
ton or constipation, take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform it's
functions naturally. Indigestion is
usually accompanied by constipation
and is aggravated by it. Chamber
lain's Tablets cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels, relieving the con-
stipated condition.

LOTS OF HUCKLEBERRIEs.
And Man of 80 Years Has Re-
markable Garden.

With Mr.. and Mrs. C. b. Nall and
the autocrat of several families. g.
year-old Lauretta, the editor and
wife Monday night drove out to Be-
thesda valley and the old Wigstrand
place, one purpose of the trip being
a chicken fry with camp coffee and
trimmings, and the other to secure
some huckleberries, for which previ-
GUS arrangements had been made.
On arrival, little after 7 o'clock,
Daylight saving time, Of course, it
was found that Miss Warren, the mis-
tress of the house, had driven to Mena
during the day, and had not returned,
but M. Keesee, who was attracted to
Polk county by its ores, and is yet
rusticating in the hills, had spent the
day among the huckleberry patches
in the vicinity, and had, unassisted,
picked and brought in 9 gallons of
the luscious fruit that grows so
abundantly on the ridges in the Polk
county mountains. And, let it be said,
parenthetically these were not
short" gallons, measured in 10
pound sorghum cans, but the full or
thodox gallon of our forefathers. The
berries were quickly poured into re-
cepticles brought by the visitors, and
$3.50 in coin of the realm changed
hands.
1t was ascertained that already in
this home dozens of quarts of buckle
berries had been canned, more would
be, and the blackberries, peaches, and
other fruits would follow, the am
bition being to put up" at least a
quart of fruit for each and every day
of the coming year.
But there was something else Of
interest besides the wild fruits.
The patriarch of the home is w. 0.
w. Warren, who has not only passed
the three score and ten station, but
the four score and ten period as well.
And such garden as this aged man
has madel 1t contains potatoes, the
Bliss Triumph and Irish Cobbler, and
such wonderful yields! Then cabbage,
tomatoes, beans, three varieties of
onions, beans galore, and big patcn
of sweet potatoes. And there's not
weed nor spear of grass in the
whole garden, which is estimated to
be sufficient to supply at least four
good-sized families. Certainly some
showing for man in his ninetics.
Then there are ripe peaches and
plums on the place. There was meat
in the smoke-house, doubtless hogs
about, fine mich COW and pretty
calf by the gate-in fact, showing
of what can be done by combination
of Polk county soil and industry.

WITNESSES WONDERFUL SIGHT
Mena Minister Visits Oil Field and Is
Thrilled.

Upon his return to Mena Saturday
morning the Rev. f. F. Harrell of the
First NJ. E. church, South, entertained
friends with description of the
sights witnessed while on recent Wis
it to the North Texas oil field. Mr.
Harrell attended conference and later
made his annual visit to his father, G.
w. Harrell at Fulton, Ark. The SEN
Tor Harrell is IS years old and the
Mena minister after his visit, contin-
ued his journey to Dallas, Tex, and
thence to the oil regions. He visited
Wichita Falls, Iowa Park, Electra,
and other places. Rev. Harrell said
that one could scarcely look in any di-
rection and see less than thousand
derricks. 1t was wonderful sight in
his estimation and the spirit Of hus-
tie, hustle and feverish activity that
features the oil field was thrilling.

It's Beans Everywhere.

That old army ditty about beans
for breakfast and the other meals of
the day holds good in Mena now, for
the local market is overlooking with
beans of the string varieties. Lack of
hampers for shipment and glutted
markets in most of the big consum-
ing centers have served to prevent
the usual shipments. Many growers
are canning the beans as the best way
to prevent a total loss of the crop.

FRUIT AND TRUCK
GROWERS IN MEET
Forty-five OF NiEety-six Members
Take Responsibility for Securing
CantaIoupe Crates President
Callahan Makes Plain Talk.

On May there was special meet
ing of the Mena Truck and Fruit
Growers Association called for the
purpose of arranging for cantaloupe
crates. ESch member was notified by
letter and also thru The Star.
Forty-fve members responded to the
requirements and paid IS each to the
crate fund, leaving 81 members who
paid no attention to the call, which
caused shortage of funds. AS the
crate question was gettinf precarious
we called special meeting for June
IA, notifying each delinquent member
by letter Also gave notice in the
Star,
Five Of the delinquents responded by
letter, but no funds. Three, who had
not paid in attended the meeting. At
ter due consideration and discussion
the members present decided to sign
a joint note for an amount to secure,
and when the crates arrive they will
belong to the members who signed the
note after the members who paid SIS
into the fund get the So worth of
crates. Then whatever crates the
owners do not need for their own crop
will be sold to other growers, giving
the members who paid the So crate
fund the preference.
Cooperation does not mean opera
ton for some members and Just CO. for
others, but is does mean mutual and
equal benefits for all. Also equal re-
quirements and liabilities for all. do
not want to believe that 81 members
out of a total of SO could not raise So,
and do not believe that members who
did not attend the meeting June IA
had more pressing business than those
who did. OF course a few exceptions
allowed
Saturday. June 81, we will hold our
regular meeting, at which matters of
much import to us win come up,
such as men and methods to sell our
crop, as Mr.. Eastin has left US; ex-
press shipments of beans, cukes, etc.;
reports on condition Of crops; arrang-
ing for printing of cards and many
other matters.
And we need our little 25c dues.
Better attend; we need you You
cannot afford to not attend. Our or
ganization can and will live and sue
coed without any one member, but we
want all farmers to belong. The
more the stronger If they are real
members, but the more the weaker if
they are just barancles. We can and
will have real live and working
farmers organization in Polk county.
Come in, work with US, stay in. You
will be benefited. You will be proud
of it.
Now if some things are done by the
farmers organization that don't suit
you, do not blame the Commercial
Club. The Commercial Club is Civ
ing us valuable aid in clerical work
done by their secretary; use of their
Office for meetings; finding, not max
ing, markets for our produce; making
inquiries for containers, and in many
other ways.
We are a separate organization,
helped by the Commercial Club, and
should reciprocate by helping the club.
The two should and will work hand in
hand up the hard surfaced road, lead
ing to better farms, better farming,
better roads, better schools, better
churches and better people for Polk
county.
