U s. ARMY TO BE NOT
 LESS THAN 500.O00 M ssssaH41
This Is Mark Set Under Ruling of Society of Nations, When Author
 iked bY Senate.

Paris, Feb 1s- The United States, under the Society of Nations plan, as it now has been amended, will main tain an army of not less than 800 900 men, which after authorization of such action by the United States sen ate, could be used wherever necessary, according to Havas agency an- nouneement today regarding newly adopted features of the plan.
 This provision was agreed upon by the Society of Nations commission, the agency says, as a solution of the difficulties in the way of the plan arising from the American eonstitu- tion.
 If such action regarding the use of the American army in connection with the Society of Nations as is outlined in the foregoing has been taken by the Society of Nations com mission. it would seem that the action has not in any way been final

$l45oO0 $1300i9

It was expected that we could by this time make final report, but we cannot do so on account of some places not reporting, and the State Committee has directed that the cam paign be extended until each county donates it's quota. We hope that with in few days we will receive reports from all places and that enough will be donated to cover Polk ceunty's quota
 Comment upon the above report is unnecessary as the figures show what communities have shown the most in- terest in the starving people that we are called upon te help.
 We trust that further effort will be made by the places that have not do- mated their quota, and if the commit tees that have been appointed are not giving the matter any attention, that some citizens, who want to see their community do their part, will take it in hand and collect and send in some donation.

 "t see in The Star that an ordinance was passed by the City Council for the paving of DeQueen street. This action was the result of a petition signed by the property owners on that street Is it pssible that that street wlil be improved while Mena street wih remain unimproved? Paving of De9ueen street means additional business for it, and to keep the busi- ness on our street, what there is there We must not only do likewise, but we must do it first if we can get action at once. am more than willing to do my part, and if some one will cir culate petition for paving it. push 1 for me all you an and all of the renters in my building as well. When 1t comes to improvements in Mena, count me in when I can be of help. You will oblige me if you will hand this to other renters in my building. so that they can all speak for me when it comes to pushing for some thing good.

FALLING TREE INJURRs TWO.
Residents Of Holly Springs Suffered
 Severe Hurts Thursday.

Residents Of Holly Springs Suffered
 Severe Hurts Thursday.
 Bob Edwards and Ali Austin. two well known residents of the Holly Springs neighborhood, were severely injured Thursday afternoon by fall ing tree, which was blown down by the strong wind prevailing. Accord imp to information which came to Mena, the two men were loading logs preparatory to going to a sawlnill when they were injured. A large pine tree standing near toppled over with out warning sufficient to give Messrs. Edwards or Austin time to get out of the danger zone. They were struck by the falling timber and both had to be assisted to their homes.
 It is thought that Mir. Edwards suf- fered fracture of the skull, while Mir. Austin's injuries appear to be chiefly about the back and hips. Bak- CT Wallace, neighbor, who was also near, suffered minor injuries from the branches of the falling tree. Both men were believed to be slightly im- proved Saturday.

Berlin, Feb. l7.-"The So-Called League of Natione," is the heading placed by the Zeitung am Mittag over it's report from Paris giving an out line of the proposed constitution of the new world society of nations.
 The newspapers here declare the proposed league is simply compact or alliance, of the five great nations, who reserve the right to admit or ex- clude the other nations.
 The reservation in the disarmament clause that disarmament shall take into consideration the geographical situation" of nation, plainly means, the newspaper asserts, that France will be exempted from it's provisions.

SCHOOLS ARE ovERcRowDED.
School Board Facing Condition Re-
 quiriag Radical Action.

At the meeting of the school board to be held tonight in the office of Prickett & Pipkin, the matter of hous- ing the school children is going to be one of the serious problems for so-
 ution. Most of the rooms in the Central and Southside schools are so crowded that it is impossible for the teachers to do creditable work. One of the solutions suggested for the con gested condition is to move the Eighth grade to the High school, but this does not meet with much favor by the students and faculty of the High school Still another solution is the building of an addition to the Southside school building. and the employment of another teacher. It has also been suggested that another teacher be added to the faculty of the Central school
 The enrolment in the Central school for the month ending January 24, was 451, making an average of 57 pupils in each grade, tho some of the grades have an enrolment of TO. During the month 59 new pupils were enrolled in this school. The enroll ment in the Southside for the same period was f68, with 21 new pupils added during the month. The second and E Third grade in this school, taught by Miss Gladys Lee. had an enrolment of 6S, while Mrs Julia An ders had an enrolment of 45, and Miss Louise Durham had in the first grade an enrolment of 61.
