pEATn FRoM AuTo ACCIDENT.
Henry King Succumbs to Injuries Re ceived Last Friday in Texarkana.

Henry King. only son of Mrs. II. A. King. died in Texarkana Thurs day night from the results of an in- jury received in an auto accident which occurred on Friday of last week. The remains, accompanied by Mrs. King and daughters reached Mena Friday afternoon on train No. 4, and the funeral services, conducted by the Revs. T. A. Park and W. L.. Smith, were held at the L o. F. ceme- tery, where interment took place in the family lot.
 Henry had reached the age of 16 years. He was born in Mena and lived here with the family until after the death of his father, when the fam fly moved to Texarkana. It seems he was riding with a delivery boy in a truck or auto, and the driver lost con- trol of the machine, and it went over an embankment, throwing Henry with such force that he received an injury, from the shock of which he never regained consciousness.

WOULD ALLOW SCHOOL GIRLS
 PLAYGROUND IN THE PARK
Executive Committee of Commercial Club Adopts ResoIution-Deer Park
 for Playground, Too.

That the executive committee of the Commercial Club is interested not only in material development of the community-the things that mean dollars and cents-is evidenced by the movement that has been started to secure a portion of Janssen park as playground for the children of the Central school At the meeting of the committee held this week, the follow ing resolution was unanimously adopted and signed, to be presented to the mayor, city council and park commissioner:
 Be it resolved, that it is the sense of the Committee that on account of the crowded condition of the school grounds of the Central school and the close proximity of the park, that the girls be allowed the use of that part lying between the spring and Port Arthur avenue and west of the walk running on line with the walk on the west side of Eighth street, with the provision that proper super vision be given the children by the teachers. We feel that no better use can be made of the park, than it's use by the children and we feel that it will be conducive to better order and better morals among the children. Be it further resolved that we reeom- mend to the council that the deer be removed to Stilwell Park and that that part of Janssen Park now used as deer park be set aside as a public playground and fitted up as such.

DIED OF HEART FAILURE.
J. H. Mourton of Waters Passed Away
 While on Home Trip.

While on Home Trip.
 J. H. Mourton, aged 67 years, a farmer living at Waters, Montgomery county, died suddenly Friday morning after having driven a few blocks from the Lackey wagonyard on the home trip. The remains were taken to the Patton undertaking establishment, and Justice of the Peace s. H. Smith and Sheriff J. A. Thornton were called for the purpose of holding an inquest, but after making an investigation it was decided that an inquest was unneces- sary, the conclusion being reached that Mir. Mourton had succumbed to an attack of heart failure.
 Mir. Mourton, accompanied by his son, Roy, aged 16 years, came to Mena Thursday to get feed and other supplies, and early Friday morning they started on the home trip, the father feeling as we'll as usual, tho complaining about pain in his chest. After getting less than two blocks from the wagon yard, the son noticed the father lean over as tho to look if the wagon was standing up under the heavy load. The son noticing that his father did not straighten up, spoke to him, and getting no re- sponse, discovered that life was ex- tinct.
 George Pike and others came to the boys assistance and brought the remains to the undertaking establish ment, where they were held until the arrival of Marion Philpot, of Egger, son-in-law, who arranged to have them taken to the home for burial.
 Mir Mourton is survived by his wife and nine children, three of whom are still at home. Two living in this county are Mrs. Marion Philpot and Frank Mourton, both of Egger.

VICTORY LOAN 10
 FINISH TIE JOB'
Campaign to start April 2I, With Dr. L. W. II. Long as County Chairman The Last Chance to Go Over
 the Top.

In the Victory Loan campaign
 which begins April 21, Mena and POll
 county will have their last chance
 to go over the top for Uncle Sam.
 That the fifth loan is to be the last
 was impressed upon the 300 delegates who attended the meeting of the state organization at Little Rock Wednes- day. That the Victory Loan will be successful as the preceding ones, was the sentiment of the men and women who made up the gathering at the Marion Hotel.
 Tho no definite quotas have been assigned, Polk county has been prom ised lessened apportionment for the coming drive. A reorganization of the county campaign committee will also be made and for the Victory Loan Dr. L. W. B. Long will act as county chairman.
 At the Little Rock conference of workers, two thoughts were emphe- sized-"N National honor,' and finish the jobv Speakers drove home the idea that no person or business can expect to exist in a community with honor and respect if it's just debts are not paid. The Victory Loan cam paign is for the purpose of paying the just debts of the U. s. A. That's all there is to it and every liberty loving American is expected to loan his money to his government for this purpose.
 American people are not in the habit of starting something they do not finish. The boys that entered Uncle Sam's fighting ranks did their part and finished their job. The American people must do their part to finish their part of the job-that of footing the costs.
 Mena folks will have chance April IT to see where Uncle Sam spent part of his money in whipping the Hun, when the real battle tank parades the streets of the city.
 Medals made from captured Ger man cannon will be one of the prized souvenirs of the coming campaign. These will be awarded to workers in different communities, but Che terms under which these honors will be dis tributed have not been announced. Hun helmets captured at Metz will also be distributed as prizes among those buying Victory Bonds and it is certain a number of these will be won in Polk county.
 Among the interesting visitors at the Little Rock meeting were Major General Peter Traub, of the 35th Di- vision, but now commander of Camp Pike: and Lieut. Arthur E. Ewert, a chaplain with the A. E. F. Both of these men saw real action overseas, and their appearance on the speakers platform aronsed a great burst of patriotic enthusiasm. General Trauh made big hit with his perfectly absurd" when speaking of the state ment the people wouldn't subscribe for Victory Bonds. Lieut.. Ewert's story of overseas service was dra- matic. magnetie and Illuminating and the big audience willingly delayed the noon-day meal in order to hear him.
