came in As He WENT Out.

A coincidence in the return home Of
Orland ]. Smith, until recently one OF
Uncle Sans overseas fighting men, is
that it was just eleven months from
the time he left Mena until he re-
turned. The young soldier started off
on train No. on a Sunday afternoon
last February, and arrived home Sun
day on the same train. In that inter
val he had been across the Atlantic
twice and in France, where he saw
service with the engineering corps.
Illness forced his retirement and be-
fore he had chance at actual fight
ing was returned to military hospit-
al at New York City. From there he
went to Camp Pike, where he received
his final discharge. Private Smith en-
listed in Mena without waiting to be
drafted. He is the only brother OF
Mrs. ]. B. Lilies Of Mena. His wife IS
now living at Tecumseh, Ok, and is
expected to join her husband here.

COUNTY TEACHERS
TO MEET IN NENA
County Superintendent Wilbanks An
nounces All in Readiness for Asso-
citation Gathering-Reports on
Trips to Rural Schools.

Plans are all ready for the meeting
of the Teachers Association in Mena,
Friday and Saturday of this week.
w. E. Laseter, State Supervisor Of
Rural Schools, will arrive on Thurs
day. The Mena High School will rem
der some special music, and all num-
bers on the two programs announce
ready. The largest and most interest
ing meeting in the history Of the AS
sociation is anticipated.
The county superintendent felt am
ply repaid for his long horseback ride
up Posey Hollow. when he discovered
Eureka school One of the most iso-
lated districts, yet community pride
is exhibited all about the place The
house is nicely painted outside, and
neatly papered inside; well-lighted +;
patent desks; room clean and tidy.
The school term should, if possible, be
at least six months. Miss Edna Bar
ron is to be especially commended for
the good order and attendance.
The Union Grove school shows
splendid interest in all elias work. Mrs.
Charles Smith has a large, wide-a-
wake eighth grade, which is excep-
tional in rural schools. Many inn
provements are needed about the
building and equipment here, but it is
understood that the people are plan
ming to rebuild soon.
Thacker is another school that con-
templates immediate improvements,
and it is certain that, in consideration
of the good work being done here by
both Miss Kirsch and her pupils, they
deserve the best of school facilities
obtainable.
Oak Ridge is one of the best equipt
little schools in the county. Mrs. Stel-
la Hinson is working hard for the in
terest of the school They are prepar-
ing a good program to be held at the
school on the night of February 8.
Mrs. Blanch Clark maintains excel
lent order at Two-Mile school. A num-
Der of her pupils are preparing for
Eighth Grade examinations. This
school is well-equippea However, q
change in the color Of the paint in
side the building would greatly help
the lighting.
There is not a better planned school
building in Polk county than the ore
at Hatfield r. B. Holder and the
Misses Ola Littlepage, Opal Copes and
Otus Henderson are in charge and
each is doing good work. Hatfield
needs and deserves a high school, and
it is very probable that one will be
maintained there during the next
school year.

Was Arrested in Mena.

When "Wild Bill Hendricks of the

was made into a soldier, it was done
by force, for the officers had to go
over into Oklahoma and bring "Bill'
back. They also had TO use force to
get Bill into Montgomery county, but
it wasn't for soldering, but for the
alleged illicit manufacture of liquor,
commonly called moonshining. "Wild

uniform on, but if he had any "moun-
tain dew it wasn't offered in evil
dence. The capture was made at

by Deputy Sheriff Willis Hungate
and Levi Pigg of the Mena Home
Guard. The former soldier and ac-
cused moonshiner is wanted in Mont

"Save and Succeed" brought forth a
number Of personal experiences. One
Mena man told how his wife had

dimes and in few months accumu-
lated s125, which amount formed the
beginning of fund which later grew
into almost 81, 1000. Another man

NENA'S WHITE WAY
WARMLY WELCOME
One Citizen Proposes to Even Put
Light in Front Of Vacant Lot--The
Campaign Temporarily Checked
by Death of DIR. Holt.

If all the business and professional
men would look upon the proposed
White Way as does one certain en-
thusiast who actually instructed Sec
retary Eastin and his committee to
place lights he contracted for in front
of the vacant lots owned by him in
the business district, there would be
no question Of lighting Mena and De
Queen streets from one end to the
other, clear out in the woods and then
some.
The White Way committee, COM
posed of Secretary Eastin, with
Messrs. Clark and Talton of the Com
monwealth Public Service Company
We're getting warmed at their work
when the tragic death of DR.. f. f.
Holt took the minds of the citizens
from ather topics and the effort for
the White Way was ended until a
more appropriate time.
As has been explained, the Com
monwealth Public Service Company
proposes to install and maintain CO.
candle-power lights, with attractive
globes, in front of business proper
ties for 81 per month each, a price Sc
low that all recognize it is not a
money making proposition, except az
it helps improve and build up Mena.

POLK COUNTY WILL
NOT FALTER AT THIS
ASKED FOR $3.50 FOR RELIEF
OF STARVING, WILL QUICKLY
GO OVER THE TOP.

Sunday, February 2, is going
to be the great Charity Day in
Polk county.
The gentlemen who have been
requested to speak in the inter-
est Of the Armenian Syrian Re-
lief Fund, have promised to fill
the appointments as published
and, hot or cold, rain or shine,
the people are expected to attend
these services in the interest of
this great Christian Charity.
The brave soldiers of the Brit
ish Army annihilated the Sultan's
army in Palestine and the poor
Christian subjects of the Turkish
government have been rescued
from their oppressors.
The brave, generous Christian
people of America will save them
from starvation and put them in
a position where they will be
self-sustaining.
Polk county is only asked to
donate $3.50 to the cause. |
wrote the state chairman that we
had an awful drouth last year
and that poor crops were made
but that compared to people of
other countries the people of
Polk county were very prosperous
and that they were always ready
to divide their last dollar for the
cause of charity or patriotism.
From the interest that is being
taken. it appears that Polk coun-
ty is going to oversubscribe its
quota. It will not be the first
time our county has done this.
Next week the published reports
from each community in Polk
county showing the amount do
mated to the Armenian-Syrian
Relief Fund, will be an index to
the real Christian spirit that pre-
walls in that community.
The committee for each place
will please report to Ben Eastin,
Secretary, the amount donated
and make remittances to Z. B.
Cox, Treasurer of the Armenian
Syrian Relief Fund for Polk
County.
Hal L. Norwood,
Chairman for Polk County.

DIR. Getz Visits Mena.

Lieut.. Harry r. Getz, now of Uncle

known in Polk county as DR.. Getz,
supervisor of tick eradication work,
made short visit in Mena Thurs
day afternoon. He was enroute from
Camp Greenleaf, Chickamauga Park,

leaVing Mena last fall, to Fort Logan,
near Denver, Colo, to which place he
mas ,, been assigned for special duty.
~ was a regret to DR.. Getz's many
friends that he is not coming back

The indicated planting program
was said to be not so indefinite. The
department is certain that farmers
will be justified in maintaining their
acreages of corn, oats and barley,
large productions of which are nee
essary to livestock production, but the
policy as to wheat, of which Europe
will need 72S million bushels, de-
pends upon complicated set Of con-
ditions yet undetermined 1t appears
desirable to increase hay production
by 25 per cent. Acreage planted to
cotton, Of which an apparent deficit
is indicated, should be adjusted so
that the farmer may produce enough
and also feed for his family and live
stock. Peanut production, increased
during the var because of the demand
for oil, should be readjusted as a
part of crop economy.
Those who intend to maintain home
gardens were urged to plant for tn
own needs, rather than attempt to
market their produce.

Have Plenty of Foodstuffs.

The signing of the armistice found
the United States with fairly large
stocks of foods, but with smaller
stocks of feeds. 1t was recommended
that pasture lands plowed up for
growing grains and other food crops
should be re-seeded to grass and that
regular and satisfactory rotation of
crops be resumed.
A wise livestock program was
said to include maintaining horses
and mules without material increase,
a normal increase in dairy cows and
beef cattle, conservative increase in
swine until the relatives shortage and
high price of feeds are overcome, an
increase in sheep consistent with facil-
tiles, and in poultry if minimum of
purchased feed is required.

URGE PEACE BASIS|
FOR FARMERS NOW
Department of Agriculture Asks Re-
sumption of Pasturage, Increase in
Meat Animals and Maintaining of
Corn, Oats and Barley Acreage.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Farmers of
the United States were urged today
by the Department of Agriculture to
return to sound farm practice in the
coming season, abandoning certain
emergency measures adopted during
the war, so as to assure ample sup
plies of all kinds for this country and
Europe.
No cause for alarm as to the ability
OF American agriculture to maintain
its position of world trade during the
period of readjustment is foreseen by
the department, which declares that
a considerable demand from European
countries for foodstuffs was almost
assured for year or more.

has just installed at his new feed
house on South Mena street. He has
shown that he possesses no little in
genuity and mechanical skill in maxi

for its purpose he believes it to be
superior to any manufactured. Mr..

larly for crushing barley, which he
believes will become one of the feeds
used most when the merits of the
grain become known. An electric
