Biggest Hot-bed in County.

After building the largest hot-bed ever built in Polk county, Claude Will liford is sorry he didn't make it big ger. The hot-bed is located on De- Queen street and is to be used for growing sweet potato slips, It is 80 feet long and 6 feet wide and Mir. Williford plans to bed out % bushels of purebred Nancy Halls. Since he has started the enterprise of growing slips, Mir. Williford states he has had so many orders for the plants that he is confident he could have sold all slips produced in much larger bed. He had been handicapped by lack of manure for heating the bed, a defect he proposes to remedy before another year comes around.

For the first time Mena and vicinity is to see the Dance of the Seven Wells, which so stirred blase New York at the one performance of Strauss opera, "Salome,' which pub lic opinion would permit.
 Mena IS not to see the dance to the caressing cadences of the Strauss music, at least not so far as an opera tic setting is concerned, but will vision it on the screen when Theda Bara portrays for the first time the role of that historical woman scorn- ed"
 With mise en scene such as no operatic stage is capable of, and with an adherence to the Biblical story in all its historical details, is is prom ised, the production should prove one far above the level of the Strauss orgy of dissonanees and indecent dis play, which was builded. it would seem, merely for sensation and the shekels that it brings in its train.
 William Fox, the producer of the newest screen spectacle, declares it is the most dazzling production of all time.
 The Lyric Theater has "Salome' for March l7 and IS, next Monday and Tuesday.

diers of their command in order that
the money thus saved over the regu-
lar ration allowance may be divert

vided with food up to the full ration
allowance made by the War Depart
ment.
The general usage of the company

tainments that the company council
might direct.
