BELIEVES IN DIPPING.
Searcy County Man Invites Antis to
 Come See What Has Been Done.

Writing to a reader of The Star, W. F. Reeves of Marshall, Ark, for mer prosecuting attorney of Searcy county and also extensively interest," ed in farming and stock raising, has this to say about cattle dipping:
 "I have noticed thru the papers some Bolshevists in Polk county have been blowing up dipping vats. Tell them if they would come to this coun- ty and see the farmers charging the old vats at their own expense to dip their cattle for common woods ticks, lice, etc, and see them dipping hogs for lice; also sheep and goats, long after our county has been freed from the fever tick, they would not oppose dipping. Cattle with ticks do just about as well as hogs with lice. Dip ping makes cattle more healthy. Say they lose out in the quantity of milk for a day or two? Yes, and if one will drive them the same distance without dipping, in their present ex- hausted physical condition, caused by the ticks sapping their blood and put ting poison in their system, they will be so exhausted that they will lose in the quantity of milk just the same, but any tick-free COW will give from a third to double the amount of milk that she will give if tick infested"

RECORD OF THE PAST.
No Stronger Evidence Can Be Had in
 Mena.

Look well to their record. What they have done many times in years gone by is the best guarantee of flu ture results. Anyone with bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement.
 S. Hopp, COG Seventh St., Mena, says: "I suffered with a very severe attack of lumbago and kidney com plaint. The trouble came on without any apparent reason. I suffered day and night with such severe pains that could neither straighten or bend over. Through the recommendation of friend I procured supply of Doan's Kidney Pills and began using them. l received wonderful benefit and so far have had no return of the trouble" (Statement given March 21, 1911.)
 On March 15, 1919, Mir. Hopp said: T think just as highly of Doan's Kid ney Pills now as when gave my for mer statement and always recommend Doan's at every opportunity. I use them occasionally when my back or kidneys bother me and they always help me"

NO OTHER CHILL
 TONIC EVER GAVE SUCH SATISFACTION.
IS HOW OKLAHOMA MAN EN. DoRsEs SWAMP CHILL AND FEVER TONIC.

Mir. Harve Smith of Haileyville. Ok. tried various chill tonics, but found nothing that equalled Swamp Chill and Fever Tonic. He says this famous rem. edy never failed to cure his chills.
 Thousands of others who once sui. fered from malaria, ague and similar ailments praise Swamp Chill Tonic as strongly as MT. Smith. For 20 years it has been the one never-failing remedy.
 Swamp Chill Tonic acts quickly and surely. It seldom takes more than three days to break up chills. And no purgative has to be taken with it. the medicine itself acts gently and agreeably upon the liver and bowels.
 There is no Calomel in Swamp Chill nothing but purely vegetable ingredients and iron. It is tasteless, ad pleasant to take Numerous phy- sicians prescribe 1t regularly-they know it is the best remedy there is for malaria. ague. chills. fever, colds. grippe, etc
 Dealers everywhere recommend and sell Swamp Chill Tonic. The price is 60 cents. Try bottle. Adv

RUBBER CONCERN SAYS
 AFFAIRS IN GOOD ORDER
President of American Company Tele- graphs That Accountants Re-
 port Is Favorable.

An audit of the books and accounts of the American Rubber Company of Chicago, said to have been made last week by expert accountants shows that the affairs of the concern are in good condition, despite reports that the only asset of the company is 'an emery wheel" according to a telegram re- ceived by L. Sparkman, Little Rock representative, from W. w. Cooper, the president. A number of Mena men are stockholders in the company and are watching the progress of the recent trouble with interest.
 Authority granted the Chicago firm to sell stock in this state was with drawn last week by w. T. Maxwell, state bank commissioner, following re- ports that the company was not do ing legitimate business. An attorney of the rubber company is expected in Little Rock Wednesday to present to the commissioner report of the audi tors, and will endeavor to have Mir. Maxwell reinstate the concern, it is said.
 Mir. Sparkman said that the report circulated against the company was due to the concerns policy of allowing discount on tires and rubber goods to stockholders, which was one of the causes of a considerable reduction re- gently in the price of tires in the five states in which the Chicago concern onerates.

He Is the Welcome Guest Who Goes
 Quickly.

Thrice welcome is the man who, when his visit ends, gets on his hat and says goodbye, and on his jour ney wends. No taxer of politeness he, he better breeding shows, than him who fingers hat in hand amid his hosts who round him stand, and yet talks on weary spell. his worn-out jokes again to tell, while those who wait, politely grin and bitter thoughts do think within, their feet a-hurting them like sin, until at last he goes. How beauteous is the wight, who, when he's spilled it all and took his share of friendly fare, and feels he must be otherwhere, promptly ends his call. And not on going stands, but when he's got his hat, makes his farewell and gets away without the final chat. And when he comes again. we greet him with cheer, sure that when he's said his say, he'll get his hat and break away, of him we to each other say, He's always welcome here. .n-James Bloomfield.

HOW AN ANTI WAS CONVERTED
To the Editor of me Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Sir: Relative to the article in last weeks Star about my changing from an anti to pro on the road ques- tion, wish to state my reasons
 About two months ago ! bought a new wagon and harness and traded for good pair of gray horses. and with my wife and daughter started out east on visit to Hot Springs. My friends wanted me to buy car. But no. no l was born and reared in Arkansas and wagon and these roads were good enough for me knew what I was doing.
 So left home strong anti, and left word with my anti friends that would send back plenty of information that would help them out in our fight. But never wrote word to them. And I'll tell you why.
 After we go to Hot Springs left my wagon and folks and made trip to Little Rock, and to other highway towns In order to see for myself as to what these highways were anyway. My intention was to get some anti pointers for the boys back home. But had not gone very far until 1 began to discover something. l found that those highways are building up the country and that he farmers living on those highways are building up the country and that the farmers living on them were all boosters, and that they had no time for a road knocker. So I kept my mouth shut. | also found that the farms on this and the other high ways l went over were not for sale. had been over most of this country years ago, and the change that the highways had brought about is hardly believeable. Those people have us bested four to one. And I must say without exaggeration that Polk county had the worst roads of any we tray- eled over, and I can get hundreds of other people who have been over this country to bear me out in this asser. tion.
 If every farmer in Polk county who opposes highways, even if they are to be built under the Alexander road law, will go and see for himself as to how these roads are building up the coun- tries they touch he will come back booster. am converted to the extent that if this highway don't come hru pretty soon am going to sell out and move to where they have highways.
 After finding what a great thing these highways were, went to Mena, as stated in The Star last week, and bought car. So honk. honki All aboard we go for the Jefferson High way. J. F. Lewis.

 Works Does Interesting Work.
 One of the most interesting ma- chimes to be seen in local industries is the new bottle soaker which has just been installed at the Robert Bot ting Works. The new machine is not only a great labor saver, but it in- sures 8 clean and sanitary container for summer drinks. Bottles put in hoppers of the machine revolve slow ly in a caustic solution that is heated, for ten minutes, a practice that in surps the death of any bacteria or disease germ that might be lurking in the glass. The machine automatic ally discharges the purified bottles into a bath of clear water, from which they are taken for final wash ing and scrubbing by hand, which makes it next to impossible for the bottles to be anything else than san itary and clean. The machine will handle about 800 bottles an hour.

|SERCT. YORK WEDS
 OLD SWEETHEART
World Wars Greatest Hero Is Mar ried in Tennessee Mountains to the Girl He Left Behind-Governo
 Roberts Performs Ceremony.

Nashville, Tenn, June 7.--Hundreds stood today beneath the trees at Pail Mall, Tenn, grove to hear Miss Grace Williams promise to Hove, honor and obey" the greatest hero of the war, Sergt. Alvin c. York. Rather they saw, for there were many who at best were out of hearing of voice, espe- cially when saying in muted measure the magic words, "I do."
 It was a wedding besides which any the mountain region of Mort Tennessee ever knew fades into sig nifcance. As to the witnesses-who were enjoined to 'speak or forever hold your peace"-both the great and the humble were there. Governor Roberts and his staff graced the plat form; widely known of Nashville and Chattanooga attended. However, the main throng consisted of the mountain folk for miles around, who came to pay the best tribute they could to Big un" York. It will be many years before the oncoming generations of the Cumberlands cease to receive as a part of their traditional information a complete and perhaps accentuated description of that York wedding" A roster of the wedding party would have contained the names of self-in- vited guests who lived beyond the Kentucky line.
 Married by the Governor.
 Down the long lane of admirers and well-wishers walked the couple. There was no wedding march. Overhanging boughs served as an archway. Govern or Roberts married them, while the Rev. c. c. Pile, pastor of York's church, the Church of Christ and Christian Union, stood nearby.
 The 17-year-old bride is the daugh- ter of A. F. Williams, former circuit clerk of Fentress county She is al- so related to Pastor Pile, who, incl dentally, claims credit for having helped promote the York Williams match. As the slender girl stood be- side the towering figure of her ser geant-husband, with the Congression- al Medal of Honor and Croix de Guerre on the left breast of his blouse, there was look of conquering pride which proved she would not have traded places with the first lady of the land.

A strong wind that visited Mena around the midnight hour Friday night frightened many but did little damage in the city.

The Kansas congressman told the commit tee the daylight savings law worked a hardship on the farmer and the real working man. He said while union labor of Kansas might favor the law, the farmers were almost a unit against the law.
