before leaving gave an argument in
favor of good roads that is convinc-

county where real roads are plentiful,
where it is possible to haul IL to 10
bales of cotton to load at all esa-
sons of the year. He also said: 1T is
awfully disheartening to come from a
place where the roads are good, to

A SlOCKhOLDER
Plan to Continue War Savings Stamp
Sales and Give Every American an
Interest in His Country-Design-
ed 20 Keep Down Bolshevism.

Helping every American become a
stakeholder in government securities
is to be the ambition of those in
charge OF the War Savings Stamp
campaign this year. By having a
financial interest in the affairs of the
nation it is believed that loyal Amer
leans will not be influenced by the
tide Of Bolshevism liable to sweep
across the Atlantic.
That this plan of combating anar-
chistic tendencies with War Savings
Stamps is to be given tryout during
1919, is part Of the message Chair
man R. Golf brings back to Mena
from st. Louis, where he attended a
meeting of county chairmen from the
Eighth Federal Reserve district.
Mr.. Golf, who served as county
chairman in the w. S. S. campaign
of 1918, is head of the movement
again this year and he is enthusiast
tic over the possibilities of Polk coun-
TVS residents benefiting not only
themselves but their country, thru
the Baby Bond movement.
One of the emphatic statements
that the Mena wholesaler gave out
on his return home was this:
Nobody is to be dubbed into buy
ing w. S. S. this wear. We will en-
deavor to make everyone see that it
is to his advantage to become a stock
holder in our government, and have
a financial interest in it, but there
will be no attempt to force people to
buy"
Mr.. Golf called attention to the
fact that small amounts could be in
vested in w. s. s. and this much
saved from usual methods Of expendi-
ture, would in time become the foun-
dation for a substantial sum. The
rate of interest paid on the w. S. S.
is greater than on postal savings de-
posits, and smaller amounts can be
invested than in Liberty Bonds. In
his opinion W. S. S. furnish the ideal
form of saving for those of limited
means and those who had regular in
comes or wages.
While no special campaign is to be
waged, various methods will be used
to have the people of Polk county re-
spond to the governments plea of
"Save and Succeed" thru w. S. S.
Mr.. Golf also stated that while at
st. Louis he had arranged that Polk
county's quota will be smaller in 1919
than in 1918, the assessment last year
having been too large,
A bit of information that he gath
cred at the meeting which was es-
pecially pleasing to the Mena man is
that the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict showed the largest increase in
savings deposits of any in the nation,
and that Arkansas showed the largest
increase Of any state within the dis
trict. Arkansas increase in savings
deposits for the year was 43 per cent,
remarkable gain.
Mr.. Golf also announced that the
w, S. s. would be sold at the same
scale of prices as last year and on the
same condition of redemption, which
is that they can be exchanged at any
first-class postoffice upon giving ten
days notice.

A YANK is AN ENOCH ARDEN
Mistakes viii Happen" MUSES. q
Soldier, Whose Wife Married Again.

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 21.-When the
wife of Pvt. Miles C. Booth Of the
10Sth Machine Gun Battalion heard
last summer that he had been killed
in action during the fighting on the
Marine, she mourned for him for a
time and then married William
George Smith.
Private Booth has now turned up
at his home here alive and almost
we'll 1t appears that the shell which
killed four Of his comrades on July
% only wounded him.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that Smith, the second husband,
was also a soldier in France. He en-
tered the service after his marriage
to Mrs. Booth and reached the front
shortly before the armistice was
signed.
Both Booth and his wife view the
mixup with philosophical air Of
mistakes will happen" Booth says
he is going back to the hospital in
New York where army surgeons are
still treating his wounds.
"Why should ! make trouble for
herr" he says "She is mighty fine
girl and with me dead as reported, |
don't wonder that some other man
was attracted to her"
The wife, who is now living with
Booths two children as "Mrs. Smith"
at Fullerton, is just as philosophical.
II heard Miles had been killed and
went in mourning for him." she said.
Nobody said anything when / later
began to keep company with my sec
ond husband, who is also good man,
and who did not hesitate to join the
army when the time came
Booth arrived in his old home here
last Saturday, on short leave from
the hospital in New York. His friends
greeted him as one returned from the
dead.
