TYPHUs EPIDEMIC IN MOSCOW.
No Medicine and No Soap Available
 to Fight the Disease.

Paris, March 10.-Typhus is adding to the horrors of hunger and disorder in Moscow, which the population has christened "the graveyard" says a British business man who has just arrived in Paris from Russia. There are no disinfectants or medicines with which to fight the epidemic and no soap. Hot water is scarce because of the shortage of fuel, and the result is that the freezing and disheartened population is unable to protect itself.
 Recently railway officials in Mos COW, the business man reports, or dered the crowd out of the Central railway station to clean it, and found the bodies of five victims of the ty- phus which had been laying fer days among the peasants sleeping on the floor. The undertakers are unable to meet the demands upon them, and the bodies of typhus victims await burial for weeks. The winter has been un- usually cold in Moscow, and there has been no heat in the houses. The Brit isher says that the non-Bolshevik pop ulation is so underfed that it has been unable to resist disease.

K. Golf and W. E. Watkins, and add ed Ira o. Smith, J L. Hagan and J. B. Goss for good measure.
 Announcement made by President Dodd tGat General Secretary Eastin had resigned created considerable surprise ard there were many expres- sions of regret. It is possible that Secretary Eastin can be induced to reconsider this matter and that the executive committee, consisting of the officers and directors, will arrange affairs so there will be no interrup- tions in the work of the Club.
 It was also decided to hold month ly meerings of the Club hereafter the members feeling that the social side of the organization should be emphasized more.
 A feature of the annual session was the presence of a number of new members and their hearty commenda- tion of the work the Commercial Club is doing for the betterment of Mena and Polk county.

SOCIAL AFFAIR 4
 SPLENDID SUCCESS
Tom Thumb Wedding" Furnishes Unique Entertainment to Big Audi ence at First M. K. Church, South
 Sixth Grade Benefit.

Mena folks must like to see wed. dings, or else they believe in support ing school library funds, or perhaps both, judging from the way they crowded into the First E. E. church South, Friday night. The big audi torium was damned full; in fact, the crowd was too large and noisy for the occasion and helped detract from the full value of the unique attraction. The event was arranged for the bene- fit of the library fund of the Sixth grade in the Central school, and the teacher, Miss Ella Alexander, is pleased with the support given. The Tom Thumb wedding was an impress sive ceremony and the dreesed-up youngsters who participated were the recipients of many compliments. Those who took part in the wedding were as follows:
 Bride--Miss Frances Cunningham.
 Groom--Master James Gray Ellis.
 Maid or Honor-Miss Mary Baker.
 Best Man--Master Joe Emerson, jr.
 Bridesmaids---Misses Sarah Van Hoy, Mildred Henderson, Helen Golf, and Grace Frederick.
 roomsmen-Masters Wyatt Wells, Millie Kerr, Gus Emerson, jr., and Fish Norris.
 Flower Girls-Misses Mary Eliza beth Harrison and lola Allen.
 Ring Bearer--Master Elgin Pigg.
 Minister-Master Worth Horton.
 In addition to the wedding, pupils of the school gave program of liter ary and musical selections, including two-act playlet, tableaux and a pantomime, that were interesting to the big crowd. The program was as follows:
 Reading, "The Mother of Soldier" -Elbert Smith.
 Piano Solo, Showers of Stars"- Mary Kate Bogard.
 Play, "Mother Is Visiting"-Two Girls and Three Boys.
 Vocal Duet, "Star of the East Helen Baker and Elizabeth Cunning ham.

GEN. WOOD URGES
 J. 5. TO PREPARE
Accept International Agreement as an Instrument, but Not as Protector, Against Future Wars, General
 Advises in Milwaukee Address.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 14.-Maj Gen. Leonard Wood addressed the Laymen's League of St. Marks Church on Wednesday at banquet of the Milwaukee Athletic Club, attend ed by military and naval officers and prominent citizens. He spoke on pre- paredness, the care of returned sol diers and the benefits of universal training. He declared the men of the national army assembled under the draft the best the sun ever looked down on, because they were better than the people as a whole, for all defectives had been eliminated. He asserted the American soldier had made reputation for himself because his was the courage of reason and not an emotional courage.
 Urges Study of American History.
 He appealed for a strong love of country; for a strong family life and for strong education in the schools, especially in the country's history, and asserted if peace was wanted in the world it would not "be obtained by the apt and skillful application of verbal messages.
 There is room in this country for only one flag as l see it, and that one the American flag, and there is only room in grade schools of the country for one language and that the Eng fish language" he cried. "For the English language carries the best thought on democracy and self-gov- ernment of any in the world
 Preparedness Protector.
 If well prepared, you are in a posi- tion to arbitrate, but if you are un- prepared you are at the mercy of the individual or the nation opposing you If we had been prepared, ready to do our part there probably would have been no war-and the same is true of England.
 Wars are coming. The faker and the charlatan have told you wars are over, but the history of the world tells you otherwise. A reasonable preparedness on your part, an inter- national tribunal if you will, or an in- ternational court and an understand ing among nations, but don't let any of these in the least take the part of reasonable preparedness-use them as instruments, but don't neglect prepar- edness."
 General Wood closed with plea for an America standing on it's own feet and governed by its own con- sciousness not by the compulsion of other nations"

CURE IS TOO DANGEROUS.
Plan to Gas Farm Pests Is Held to
 Be Impractical.

Washington, March 10.-Poison gases developed in war cannot be used to clear American farms of in- sects and rodent pests, Secretary Lane has decided after investigation Experiments showed that while pests were killed, there was danger of the gas spreading and destroying live stock and persons living near by, in case the wind should carry the fumes.
 Suggestions had been made by farmers that the deadly gases might prove of great value in destroying the boil weevil in the South and goph- CTS in the prairie states, saving mil lions of dollars spent in slower meth ods.

SEVEN YEAR OLD GIRL
 KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE
Evelyn Paulson of Ash Street Hit By M. Henry Donnel-
 ly's Car Near Her Home.

Evelyn Paulson, the seven-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Paulson, of 66 Ash street was killed in an unfortunate accident shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, when she was struck by an automobile driven by M. Henry Donnelly, of 21 Lincoln street. The accident occur red at the corner of South Main and Ash street. The child was taken to the New Britain hospital, and accord ing to officials of the institution she was dead on arrival there
 According to MT. Donnelly's state ment, he was driving in a southerly direction on South Main street and when near Ash street, the little girl started to, run across the street from the east to the west side. As she neared the opposite corner, she re- traced her steps and ran directly into the machine, hitting the front fend- CT. MT. Donnelly stopped his car and the girl was carried into a nearby store where treatment was given and the police were notified
 Officer Herbert c. Lyon and Inspec- tor Edward L. Stehbins of the au- Jomobile department went to the scene. The child was at once taken to the hospital. She had sustained a fracture of the skull and the face and head were badly battered. Mr. Donnelly reported that he was driv- ing very slowly at the time, and this is substantiated by a boy witness who told MT. Stebbins that the Donnelly car was not travelling very fast.
 The deaG child was a pupil at the Northend school and was @ general favorite. Her father was at the po- lice station a few minutes after the death of the girl and he was distra ct- ed. Besides her parents, a brother and sister survive the child.
 pr. Roger M. Griswold, acting medical examiner, made an investi- gation. From what he learned from three witnesses, Frances Skelly, Mrs. A. E. Sundberg and Nicholas Stifeck, the accident was unavoidable. Dr. Griswold stated to reporters this aft ernoOn that the fracture of the skull may have been caused by the child's head striking the pavement Donnel- lys statement that he was driving slowly is borne out in the fact that the machine was stopped about a cars length from where the child was picked up

 These foreigners, when we asked them, explained they were going to get the closed shop"
 "President Wilson, President Com pers, they all say, are with us.' You Americans can't work here after ward. Nothing but union men.
 We will get check off system,' they said, and collect all the union dues
 Won't Need Bosses Now"
 Some of them explained to me:
 "'We won't need bosses after this, committees will run mills.'"
