BOYS AND GIRLS
ORGANIZE CLUBS
Young People in Many Communities
Show Interest in Progressive Farm
ing by Organizing for Mutual
Benefits.

Thruout different localities in Polk
county and increased interest is being
shown by the young people in pro-
gressive farming and kindred lines Of
rural endeavor Under the direction
of Miss Anna Woods, county home
demonstration, and D. l.. Henderson,
county farm demonstration agent,
organizations have been effected OF
the boys and girls for the purpose OF
promoting and helping the work OF
the younger generation in general
farming, poultry raising, stock rails
ing and home making.
Within the last week Miss Woods
has organized boys and girls clubs al
Grannis and Vandervoort, and assist
ed Agent Henderson in organizing a

SHOWED THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
One Mena Citizen Did Not Wait to
Be Asked to Do His Part.

As an evidence of the Christian
spirit of the people. of Mena, one citi-
zen of moderate means, hunted up
one of the local committee of the Ar
menian-Syrian relief fund and handed
him a $5 bill, stating that he deemed
it as much his duty to hunt up this
committee and turn in his donation
as it was the duty Of the committee
to come to him.
There are a very large number of
citizens more able TO help this cause
than the gentleman mentioned, and il
they would follow his example, the
necessary amount would be very
quickly raised.
This is cause that every individ-
ual should feel it privilege to help,
and every person should give such
amount as his means will permit, and
which his conscience approves, and it
is probable Mena will readily raise
her quota in this as she has in the
past. It is confidently expected that
when the first report is published in
February 8, of amounts collected,
that it will be shown that Mena has
exceeded the amount requested.
The fact that the American COM
mittee in charge of disbursement of
funds is composed of such men as ex-
President Taft, Ex-Governor Hughes,
and Cleveland H. Dodge, is a sufficient
guaranty that every dollar donated
to this cause will do the utmost good
and these stricken people saved from
starvation and restored to homes.
The committee for Mena is COM
posed of the following:
Southside-R. B. Board, G. w. Pet
ty, Dan Watkins.
Northside-T. R. Jones, M. Mar
tiny, Ira Smith.

WEDDING BELLS DID NOT RING
Young Lady Baked on Proposition to
Live in Oklahoma.

A sad faced young man, who said
he lived in Oklahoma, stepped into a
Mena barbershop Monday afternoon
and while the tonsorial expert worked
told tale that touched the hearts of
all who heard it, The visitor said that
he had gone to the home of his sweet
heart near Grannis with the expecta-
ton of getting the young lady to
change her name and residence, but
the fair one declined to do both. She
was willing to get married, but was
unwilling to leave the parental roof
tree for home in Oklahoma. The
Young man said he wanted the girl
all right, but he didn't care to have
the rest of her family, so it was de-
cided the wedding bells needn't ring
for them. The young Oklahoman said
that he declined to take back the dress
he had bought for his expected bride,
telling her she could keep it ito re-

WITH HUNS WHIPPED
COMES HOME TO WE'D


A quiet wedding that occurred al
the county clerks office in the court
house Thursday evening had real
romance back of it. The contracting
parties were Clifton Crawford, u. S
Navy, and Miss Imogene Henderson
Of Hatfield. The nuptial knot was
tied by the Rev. F.. F. Harrell, pas.
tor of the M. e. church, South. Wit
nesses to the marriage were the
brides sister, Miss Otus Henderson
of Hatfield, and Mss Ella Alexander
of Mena. Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford
spent Friday in Mena and then re,
turned to Hatfield, from which place
they go to New York city, where the
groom is to be stationed.
The young groom has just re-en-
listed in Uncle Sans navy, after hav-
ing served four years, He is now a
chief electrician in the radio service
and will be on shore. duty now that
peace has come. Mr.. iCranford is one
of the few men who have been in
Mena who wears two gold service
stripes. He saw 10 months service in
the fighting zone. 1t was while he
was earning these stripes that he
received nationwide publicity as ons
of the survivors of the ill-fated U. S
S. Jacob Jones, destroyer which
went to the bottom in December
1917, the victim of either a Hur
U-boat or a mine.
Electrician Cranford's last cruise
was with the u. s. S. Westcoast
which went from Seattle thru the
Panama canal to Norfolk, where he
re-enlisted and then hurried back te
the old home in Polk county to wed.
The groom is son of Mrs. w. w
Crawford of Hatfield, and the bride
is the daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. I. A

Hatfield vicinity for many years ant

LEAGUE NOT OPEN
TO ENEMY NATIONS
Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Tur.
key Must Reform First, Says Lord
Cecil--Are Not Considered AS
Being Trustworthy.

Paris, Jan. 20.-Germany, Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey cannot be ad-
mitted to the league of nations-at the
present time, but they should be al
lowed to join as soon as the league is
satisfied that they are entitled to be
ranked among the trustworthy ma
tions of the world.
This is the opinion of Lord Robert
Cecil, who has turned over to the
printer the British plan for the league
which will be submitted to the peace
congress.
Lord Robert made this statement TO
the Associated Press tonight:
"The league should be all-embrac-
ing-for all trustworthy nations,
since it is for the good Of humanity" ("
Asked for a definition of "trust-
worthy" Lort Robert replied that in
the case of Germany one criterion
would be in the establishment of q
government free from military DOM
nance. This would be guarantee of
trustworthiness. 1t is obvious, he
said, that Germany can not be admit
ted until she has brought order out
of the present chaos and the complex
ion of the new government is seen.
The Mena weekly star., 1919-01-23
Admit Austrian States.

In Austria the situation is quite
different from that in Germany, and
very difficult since Austria has been
split up by revolution while Germany
has held together, said Lord Robert,
and it appeared probable that several
separate states would develop from
the Austrian empire.
Here, as in Germany" he said,
stable and trustworthy governments
must be established. But there is no
reason why the various states should
not come in when they show them
selves fitted to do so, irrespective of
the rest"
He said Bohemia showed more
signs of being settled than the other
sections of Austria.
1--WE do not know what Turkey will
be-" Lord Robert said. "We must
await the territorial settlement to be
made by the peace congress"
Much the same condition obtained
with respect to Bulgaria and the
league would want to know if Bull
garia had abandoned the idea of be-
ing the Prussia of the Balkans be-
fore admitting that nation.

the Chamber of Deputies is consider

AGREE TO CHILD LABOR TAX.
Ten Per Cent to Be Assessed Against
Products of Their Labor.

Washington, Jan. 15.--The Senate
amendment to the War Revenue Bill,
leyying tax of 10 per cent upon the
products of child labor entering in
terstate commerce, and designed to
have the same effect as the Child La
Dor Act recently declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court, was
adopted today by the Senate and
House conferees. A separate vote on
the amendment will be taken in the
House before final passage.
Besides the child labor provision
the conferees reached complete
agreement today on nearly all of the
miscellaneous tax disputes.
Another important Senate amend
ment accepted by the House confer
ees today was that of removing war
taxes on first class postage next July
when the pre-war rates of two
cents an ounce on letters and one cent
for postcards would again be effec-

GROUND HOG DAY
'JABS TWO STATES
Oklahoma Solons Would Discredit Ar
kansas Choice by Declaring for
February 2 Instead of February
14-Bad Feeling Develops.
Stand up for Arkansasl


All who have for years based their
hopes of fair or foul weather-and
their crops-on the conduct of the
Ground Hog on February IA, must
rally to the support of their time-hon-
ored and time-tried ideals.
Oklahoma is threatening to usurp
our prerogatives by declaring against
US by statute.
The "Sooners" insist on February
z as the day when the ground hog
comes out, looks for his shadow-and
then and there establishes the wealth
er according to whether or not he
sees it.
Head 'em off.
Following are the horrible details
as outlined in a news story from Okla
homa City:
I'm the good old days gone by
Oklahoma legislatures have beer
called upon to wrestle with many
weighty problems of statecraft-
stategraft also.
Regulatory measures without mum.
Der, ranging from suggestions to re-
quire women to wear their skirts long
enough to drag the ground, on up the
line to declaring the piercing of ears
to be barbarous and unnecessary vol
untary punishment and placing it un.
der ban, have in times past received
great and serious consideration.
"John Barleycorn has lost many 9
memorable battle within the walls Of
Oklahoma legislative assemblies.
"Only recently both houses decided
within the brief space of few hours
that league of nations, the thing
that all the hubbub is being made
about around the peace table, is
good thing for this old world anC
ought to be established.
But all these momentous problem.

guished men who have ever signed {

soon to be relegated from memory
which is the only place they remain
and newer, more weighty and far
reaching prohlem-it reaches all tn,
way to Arkansas---is to receive tn,
closest attention of the best legisla
tive talent.
ut is the question of establishing
once and for all, by an irrepealabl'
statute, that date which is to be OBJ
served as Ground Hog Day in Okla
homa.
ITO most people-outside of Ar
kansas-ground hog day is observed
on February 2, and to most of them i
has no particular significance othel
than day on which it will be deter
mined whether winter will end in TIVE
weeks or last two weeks after Febru
airy 2. If it's bright day, friend hos
sees his shadow and goes back in hi

it's cloudy he doesn't see his shadow
therefore he does not become alarmed
and takes his place in the world. TIVE
weeks more and winter ends.
The Mena weekly star., 1919-01-23

"But over on the east side of the
state on the Arkansas line, the day is
of far greater significance, or, il
should be stated, the day that is
known as ground hog day.
Arkansas farmers living close to
the line insist February IA is ground
hog day In Oklahoma, February is
the day observed.
"In farming communities ground
hog day, the elements permitting, is
considered the day upon which pota-
toes should be planted. AT that par
ticular time Old Mother Nature is
ready to receive her potato crop.

Thru Many CenAicts-Perman-
emily DRY" July 1.

The ratification January 16, 1919,
of the Federal Constitutional Prohi-
bition Amendment by Nebraska, the
Beth state to take that action, made
the United States the first great ma
tion to take legislative action to per-
manently stop all traffic in liquor.
The action of the Nebraska legis-
lature was followed quickly by SINH
lar steps by Missouri and Wyoming,
making 38 states that have definitely
approved a dry" America. Several
of the ten remaining states will soon
be lined up on the anti-booze side.
The prohibition amendment pro-
vides that the manufacture, sale and
importation of intoxicating liquors
shall cease one year after ratifica-
tion by the legislatures of two-thirds
of the states of the Union, but many
believe the country will become per-
manently "dry" next July /, the date
on which the special wartime prohi-
bition recently enacted by congress
goes into effect This law prevent
ed the manufacture and sale of intox-
icants for beverage purposes and re-
mains in force until the demobiliza-
tion of the Nations war armies is
completed.

The military viewpoint is that the
United States, as a matter of ordin-
airy prudence and foresight, must be
prepared for eventualities if the fu-
ture safety of the Nation is to be as
sured. Sooner or later the whole ques-
ton, one of tremendous national inn
portance whatever the final settle
ment, will be thrown open to public
discussion.
Here is said to be the outline of the
general staff plan:
A system of universal military
training of all youths in their twenty
TO twenty-first year, the training per-
iod to be seven months between the
months of March and September. The
general staff estimates show there
will be an army Of at least Y to u
million in training, under the plan,
each year. The annual class or "crop'
as is referred to, will run a little
more than u million, according to es-
Inmates. Allowance is made, however,
for the elimination of approximately
Il million comprising the physically
unfit and those with dependents. 1t
is proposed to make the matter of de-
pendency very stringent to be covered
by rule as arbitrary as possible.
Under the plan there will be no such
things as "made by themselves" de-
pendents. This means, among other
things, that marriage will be no ex-
cuse.
The training graduates will go in
to the first reserve during their twen-
ty-first to twenty-fifth years, into the
second reserve from their twenty fifth
to thirty-frst year, and thereafter
into the third or general reserve.

also to be wrecked, which is just
