Many thousands of home gardeners
 who went lover the top soil" last year
 n, the production of vegetables for home tables are already planning and p1anting to beat their own records the aoming season, according to reports to the United States Department or Agriculture.
 So far as can be ascertained, the demand for food will be as great tn 1919 as last year, and it will be neces- sary for everyone to do his part m production or conservation, or both, if possible. The demand for garden land in and around large cities IS greater than last year, reports indi- cate Nearly all the old gardeners are lined up for 1919, and thousands of new ones are joining the ranks every day.
 Millions of Americans have been shown that very small piece of land will produce enough fresh vegetables for the ordinary family if properly cultivated Few people realized, until they tried the experiment, how many good things to eat could be grown Tn a city back yard or on vacant lot. Tn seven cities of Indiana last year there were over 129,000 home gardens, with an estimated value of $1 ,550, ,000. En six Ohio cities having total pop nlation of 1,640,000 there were count ed 102.S75 gardens having valuation of s1 ,922,4 2,475.
 The appeal made by Uncle Sam last year for more and better home gar dens met with hearty response from every state in the Union. No exact figures as to their number or aggre- gate contribution to the country's food supply are obtainable, but the Department officials believe the re- suits justified all the efforts put forth for them by the Government, the in- dividual gardeners, and the local as- sociations working in many cities and towns.
 Home Garden Movement Permanent.
 No doubt is seen that the city home garden has come to stay. City people have learned how good and fresh vege- tables can be when they come right from their own backyard gardens. They have also learned that garden helps to get rid of that jaded feeling that follows hard day in the store or office. It has been shown that the home vegetable garden is something

FARMERS AND TOWN FOLKS
 ASKED TO GET TOGETHER
District Farm Agent Kapp Discusses Marketing Situation and Urges
 Co-Operatiye Action.

At the first meeting of the County Council of Agriculture held Friday afternoon at the courthouse, delegates from the different school districts of Polk county and representatives of commercial industry in Mena, heard an earnest plea for cooperative ac- tion.
 The speaker was Dr. Harry r. Kapp of Little Rock, district farm agent, and in short talk that was given the closest attention he urged the neces- sity for farm and commercial inter- ests getting together and working for the betterment of both.
 Dr. Kapp emphasized the fact that certain conditions have got to change in the readjustment of affairs follow ing the world war. He said the farm CTS are looking for something better than old time conditions and predict ed that the homecoming of the soldier boys will help bring this about. He believed that a cooperative and sys- tematic plan of handling the market ing situation, one where the farm pro- ducing the product will get a rightful share of the profits, will be helpful alike to both farmer and business man.
 He insisted the business man should help the farmer, and vice versa. As one means of getting quick, ready re- turns, Dr. Kapp recommended His Majesty. The Hog; and told of the success of cooperative marketing in other Arkansas counties. He recom- nended a car of hogs be shipped from Polk county at once if possible, and that arrangements be made to pro- duce more hogs and less cotton here this year. The speaker told of rais- ing pork by various pasturage crops and spoke in strong terms in favor of velvet beans.
 Miss Carrie Plunkett, district home agent, spoke briefly of the work for the women of the farm.

10 BED CROUCHY WAKE UP FEELING
 CLORIOUSLY
Wonderful How Cal0tabs, the Per fected Nausealess Calomel, Makes You Feel So Good the Next Morn iuO


 Doctors say that the old-style calo- mel was the best medicine in the world and the only thing that would straighten out a disordered liver, but it had some serious drawbacks. The salivating and the sickening after effects made many people dread to take it. The new calomel called Cal otabs, have all the liver benefits left in and the sting taken out. Now you can take calomel without the slight est objection One Calotab on the tongue at bedtime with swallow of water, that's all No taste, no dan ger, no griping, no nausea, no salts. Next morning your liver is clean, your system purified and you are feeling like a two-year-old-with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please-no danger.
 Calotabs are so delightful that your druggist will refund the price if you are not delighted with them. Sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. All druggists now have Calotabs.--Adv.

It'll Be A Big Year
 In Backyard Gardens.

that the whole family can get inter- ested in and help to care for. The schools are teaching pupils the prin- ciples of gardening, and the boys and the girls by this method are getting acquainted with Mother Nature and learning the value of efforts put forth intelligently and systematically.
 There were some failures last year. But their number was small when the namber of home gardens is consid- cred. A fact of large importance is that in cities having twenty to thirty thousand gardens less than per cent of failure to complete the seasons s work was reported.
 Department specialists emphasize that production of vegetables in back yards and vacant city lots is not a fad. but a substantial economic move ment. Thousands of people have be- come permanent producers and are adding materially to the creative forces of the United States.
 What the Gardener Needs.
 The essentials for good garden are little sand, plenty of sunshine, few seeds, some tools and ar abund- ance of enthusiasm and work. Given these, all other difficulties can be easily overcome. At least one mil- lion families last year attempted gar- dening for the first time, and the greater part of them succeeded.
 There is always something of in- terest in the garden from the turning of the first spadeful Of earth to the gathering of the crops. There are difficulties to be overcome, but to the true home gardener few potato bugs or some weeds merely are the obsta- cles to be met in any striving for good things. In some cities last year priz- es were offered for the best gardens, but in many instances the winners never claimed them, for they consid- cred the garden and it's products their greatest prize.
 The United States Department of Agriculture is ready to give tested advice to both experienced and anna teur gardeners. A postal card re- quest to the Department will bring free it's bulletins on this subject, writ ten by Government specialists to em- body the results of many years of in- vestigation in such form that they vii be readily understood

NEW YORK A DREAM CITY.
Says General Pau, French Veteran,
 Returning to His Country.

New York, March 16.-"New York is a dream city--a city of night mares and beauty all at once. It is city of tranquility and of chaos. It is a city you can love, city you can hate. It is in eruption 24 hours a day. It is dream city that knows no sleep"
 General Pau, French war veteran of the conflicts of 1870 and 1914 thus epitomized his impressions of the worlds metropolis before sailing on the Mauretania with other members of the French mission which he heads.
 "New York is a reel of motion pie lures which never ends," said Gener- al Pau. Upon first arriving here, one feels as tho he had followed Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole. Many of your wonders are absurdi- ties. Many are majestic in their beauty. I do not like all your sky scrapers. Some of them are actually beautiful. Others are grotesque. | think the Woolworth building the handsomest structure on Manhattan Island.
 New. York is beauty unlike any other city in the world. I do not think people, who live here constantly can attain great age. There seems to be a constant whirl and pressure that keeps one keyed to an abnormal pitch. Relaxation seems to be unknown. The hum and whirr and buzz of the city's palpitating seems to pervade even the residential sections and the private homes,
 "One sees more actively on Forty second street in an hour than one sees in London in a week. Everyone seems to be going somewhere as if afraid someone else were going to get there ahead of him. The killing speed of everyday life here is appalling. New York is poem of pressure. It is never still"

RECRUIT FOR REGULAR ARMY.
Col. W. s. McBroom Arranged fol
 Office in New Postoffice.

Col. w. s. McBroom, stationed at Little Rock, has been instructed to es- tablish recruiting offices in number of cities in Arkansas, Mena being one of these, and was in the city Fri day to make arrangements. After consultation with Postmaster R. s. Allen, it was ascertained that very de- sirable headquarters could be had in the new Postoffice building.
 Colonel McBroom explained to a representative of The Star that with the ending of the war the National Army was being disbanded as fast as possible, and that the expiration of enlistments in the regular service soon would greatly deplete that or ganization, making active recruiting necessary.
 This enlistment will, for the pres ent be in two classes. one-third to be for one year and two-thirds for three years. Men who already have seen service will be accepted for the short enlistment, while others will enlist for three years only. The pay for the present will be the same as in the National Army, $50 per month for privates.
 A further restriction, Colonel Me Broom explained, viii be that no one will be accepted who, under the War Risk Insurance Act have dependents to whom allotments must be made. 1t has not been announced as yet who will be in charge of the local office. The headquarters office will be in the Donaghey building, Seventh and Main streets, Little Rock, with a branch office in the Kennedy building Fort Smith.

What 10 Feed the Child.

For a normal baby, with normal mother, the first few months or year there is nothing better to do than feed 1t with natures food, mothers milk. Orange juice and water for re- freshment will cool the swollen gums and give great relief when teething.
 If the child has taken prune juice, unsweetened, and orange juice occa- sionally the digestive tract will be in good working order. Then in the sec ond year scraped apple or other fruits like pears and peaches if well rpened. may be safely given in very small quantities. A drink of cool water should be given frequently. How many worrying babies, who cannot tell what they want would be made comfortable by frequent drinks of pure cool water.
 All changes in a child's diet should be made very carefully and when any new food is introduced give it in small quantities, teaspoonful or two being sufficient.
 Baked potato is a food particularly adapted for young child's food. Use a little milk with a grain or two of salt, then cream and butter may be added. After a child has become ac- customed to potato teaspoonful of finely mashed peas may be given, as well as carrot, spinach and any vege- cable not too woody.
 Given to the child in small quanti- ties, well mashed and seasoned he will learn to like all kinds of vege- tables; in fact he will never need to learn, for the good habit will be sormed early in life.
 A child's digestion is so much more rapid than an adults that they need to be fed oftener and in small quan- titles.
 A child fifteen months old will need some such diet as to food and time as the following: At seven or eight a breakfast cereal, bread or toast and 6 cupful of milk at noon an egg. DO tato, one other vegetable, bread and fruit either juice or seraped fruit. Five or sir, milk and rice or bread, and at ten a cupful or bottle of milk. The cereals should be varied 30 that they may become accustomed to like a variety.
 The chief thing to remember in cooking cereals for children is to cook them long enough. Serve with good top milk and no sugar. In early youth the child gets all the sugar he needs from the fruit he eats. One good req son for having little people eat alone is that foods that must be denied them are not put temptingly before them.

Latest Vending Machine Is
 Detector of Spurious Coin

One of the interesting developments in the vending machine field is large apparatus that dispenses bottled bev- erages, sandwiches and chewing gum. In order to encourage patrons to re- turn empty bottles to the machine a stick of gum is discharged when a bottle is placed in the receiver provid- ed for it. A counterfeit detector re- jects spurious coins. A complete rec ord of all transactions is kept by a sales registering mechanism. The only attention the machine requires is that involved in stocking and icing it daily.

MEXICO MUST CLEAN HOUSE.
Diplomats Believe Country in Present State Not Eligible to League Seat.

Washington. March 12.- Mexico, in the opinion of students of the Mexi- can question here in it's relation to the international situation and espe- cially with regard to the proposed League of Nations is not at the pres ent time eligible to membership in that league.
 Before becoming eligible for mem- bership in the league, it is believed here that Mexico must undergo a thoro housecleaning and satisfy the great powers of it's ability to function sceeptably in it's international rela- tions.
