The United States Department
of LabOrs, Information and Edu-
cation Service, issues the follow
ing:
The Department of Labor has
ordered no deportatiOns of Mexi-
can labOrers as result of it's re-
cent vacating of orders provid-
ing for temporary admission Of
such labor for war emergency
work. This announcement is made
in letter sent by the Secretary
of Labor to the Secretary of State
in reply to an inquiry based on
Mexican newspaper reports.
The Department of Labor order
ed that after December Is no fur
ther permits for admittance of
! temporary labor be granted, but
provided that permits issued on or
before that date will be recOgniz-
ed provided the immigrants arrive
at port Of entry on or before
January Is next. MeXicans, Of
course, may still enter the United
States under the ordianry provi-
sion of the law.
Tert of Sccrctaly's Letter.
Secretary Wilson's letter says ::
1.-The department is in receipt
of your memorandum of Decem-
ber %, signed by Mr.. Boaz Long,
relative to Mexican agricultural
and Industrial laborers. In reply
thereto l am pleased to state that
EVIDENTLY there is misunder-
standing regarding the terms as
We'll luC vi
ment's order, which was put in
force on the 18th of this month.
"Questions arising as a result
of the end of hOstilities, concern
ing not only Mexican laborers but
also those from other countries,
brought the matter up for consi-
deration. Laborers from these va
rious countries had been admitted
as a war necessity, and as demo-
bilization is taking place not only
of the forces of the Army and
Navy but also of labOrers engag-
ed in war industries, it was con-
sidered an absolute necessity, as
notice to %all interested, that the
department should without delay,
state, its policy concerning tenn
porary laborers from beyond our
confines.

~.
Question Carefully Weighed.
"It will be seen that the depart
ment has considered the questions
involved from all standpOints, and
has endeavored to proceed in such
a way as to give no just cause for
complaint, either for lack of no
tice to the laborers at the border
awaiting entry, or to those on the
way there, or to those already in
the country.
"It is proper to state in this
connection that the admission of
labOrers referred to was effected
under and by virtue of depart
ment orders, general and special,
made with especial reference to
such laborers and owing to the
war emergency in which this
country found itself at the time;
the intent of such orders being
temporarily to relieve the appli-
cants of the illiteracy test, the
contract labor law, and the pay
ment of the head tax. All such
departmental orders, since the
18th day of December, have been
vacated, and no further admis-
sions Hereunder from and after
January Is, 1919, will be permis-
sible. 1t should be further re-
membered that labOrers from Me-
xicO, admissible under existing
law, are in no way deferred or
prevented from applying at the
United States immigration sta
tions for entry in the usual way.
"The fear expressed in your me-
morandum that Mexican agricul.
tural and industrial labOrers who
came to our country while the
war was being. waged are soon
to be ordered deported," is not
borne out by the facts. AS a re-
suit of the vacation of the depart
mental orders providing for the
admission of laborers as above set
forth, no deportations have been
ordered. OF curse, any alien adj
mitted to the country while the
same were in force, and violating
any of the conditions of said or
ders, or the laws of the United
States, would, after due hearing,
be subject to deportation in due
course of administration"

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
 ASSOCIATION IN FINE MEET
New Principal of Mena Schools Intro duced and Made Good Talk
 The Program.

The Program.
 The School Improvement Associa- tion met for the first time under the new regime at the Central school building December at D. m., and the meeting was voted by all an un- qualified success. The attendance was large, and both appreciative and in- terested. The meeting was called to order by the president. Mrs. E. K. Holt, and the program was opened by the school orchestra, composed of mu- sicians of which Mena may we'll be proud. Mrs. Holt, in few well-chos- en remarks, introduced the principal, Captain Berry, who gave most ex- cellent talk on "Co-operation," and all felt after hearing him, doubly as- sured that he is "the man for the place." Miss Helen Baker followed with a reading charmingly rendered. Mrs. Fitz's solo was thoroly appreci- ated. Miss Leonora Rectors talk on the Health Crusade" was so fine the hearers wished the talk had been longer. The program over, informal talks and suggestions were in order, for the betterment of the buildings, and the comfort of the children. Many feared the meeting would lack enthus- iasm, but all were determined to do their most. In other words:
 Bite off more than you can chew
 and chew it.
 Aim to do more than you can do-and
 do it.
 Hitch your wagon to star-and
 there you are"

Increased Counties on varmint Scalp.

Tho the last quorum court failed to make an appropriation for the pay ment of bounties for killing wolves and wildcats, there is a way hunters and trappers can secure pay for scalps of these varmints. According to the interpretation of the statutes by Police Judge s. Smith, there is a state law which permits the county judge to pay the following bounties: S5 for wildcats; $10 for wolves. To secure the bounties those killing var hints should take the scalp and make affidavit before some justice of the peace and then present claim before the county court for the bounty due. A number of trappers have been sell ling wolf and cat hides without col lecting the bounty which Judge Smith and others believe they are en- titled to.
