Of Congressman Ireland Of the Peoria

Munich Is Sieged.

Berlin, April 8.-Commenting on the entire absence of unity at Munich, which, it is asserted, insures a firm dictatorshop, the Munich correspond ent of the Tageblatt says that the communists deride and mock the Sovi- ct government and that the independ- ents are quite divided only the Nun ich group supporting the Soviets. The major states are declared to be completely split in Bavaria, those in the south being in conflict with those in the north.
 The city, owing to the state of siege, remains quiet. There was a tremendous run on the banks Satur- day ,but the bankers refused to pay out large sums.
 The Vossische Zeitung's corre- spondent says that hatred for the jews is expressing itself in hitherto unaccustomed forms.
 The Nuremburg correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung explains that the Hoffman ministry first moved to Nuremburg and afterwards to Bam- berg. The peasant councils of Middle Franconia reject the Soviet republic.

HIRE CARS MUST PAY LICENSE.
Tax of $100 Year Up to 7-Passenger
 and S2O for Larger Ones.

Notices are being sent out by Jack Walker, collector of internal revenue, Little Rock, to all persons who oper- ate motor vehicles for hire, request ing the payment of the Federal Lii cense tax required under the new Revenue law. Every owner of an au- tomobile used for carrying passen- gers for hire is required to pay this talk, which is $10 per year for each car having seating capacity of more than two and not more than seven, and $20 per year for each automobile having a seating capacity of more than seven.
 As the governments fiscal year ends June 30, only one-half of the above tax is payable at this time for the period beginning January 1 and ending June 30, 1919. Owners of jitney cars should apply at once for blank forms on which to make their returns.
 After receiving the blank forms, owners should fill them out and remit five dollars to the Collector of Inter- nal Revenue for each car, unless such car carries over seven passengers, in which case ten dollars should be re- mitted for each bus.
 Notices were sent out April 1, 1919, and car owners who are not registered before the expiration of thirty days, will be subject to heavy penalties.

COUNTY FAIR FUND NOW sls7O.
Goal Is $250O-Finance Committee to
 Make Report Thursday Night.

The finance committee appointed by the Commercial Club to solicit funds for the County Fair, after a canvass of only a few hours, reports that pledges have been received aggregat- ing $1870, and the indications are good that the goal of $2500 will be reached. Those who have not yet sub scribed and desire to do so, should phone or see Secretary Eastin of the Commercial Club, for the active can vass has been concluded, and yet no one is to be denied having a part in this forward movement. The finance committee will meet with the sub- scribers of the fund next Thursday night to elect officers and make other plans for the fair.
 Since the foregoing report was made by the finance committee, volu- tary subscriptions aggregating $75 have been made as follows: J. H. Hamilton, $25; Zachary Motor Com pany, S. L Wood, Dr. c. c. Gunnels, and Oscar Afford. $10 each, and M. c. Latimer $5.

POTATO GROWERS IN EARNEST.

The directors of the association or ganized for the construction and op- eration of sweet potato curing house held meeting Tuesday in office of Will s. MacLafferty, to go over the matter for the location of the storage house, which has not yet definitely been settled, but the assurance is given that the building will be com pleted and equipped in ample time to take care of the crop this fall.
 Another evidence that people of Mena and community are in earnest about the sweet potato business is the fact that Claude Williford, who will be manager of the curing plant has already booked orders for between 10000 and 50,000 plants to be taken from his bed.
 By the way, anyone interested in growing things, should take look at this sweet potato bed, located immedi- ately back of the Antlers sample room. The bed is 5xS0 feet, and con- tains 22 bushels of potatoes, which are shooting plants of the finest kind, giving promise of raising the maxi mum amount of slips, which is from 5000 to 4,000 per bushel. At this rate the bed will produce from 80 to 100 thousand plants, and all will go to Polk county growers. Some of the plants will be ready to be pulled with in week, and if conditions are favor able the first setting may be made about the middle of this month.
