SAMUEL H. SUITS AT REST.
Burial of Polk County Soldier Took
 Place at Lower Big Fork Sunday

The remains of Soldier Samuel II. Suits, who died at San Antonio, Tex, last Friday morning at s o'clock, reached Mena on train No ?, Sunday morning, accompanied by Mrs. Suits and o. l.. Lawrence, who were with him when he passed away The re- mains were taken in charge by Under taker ]. c. Frazier and taken to Low CT Big Fork, where the funeral serv- ices, conducted by the Rev J. 0. But Ter of Black Springs, were held Sun day afternoon at 4 o'clock.
 Soldier Suits was with the Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces and had seen eleven months of overseas serv- ice. He suffered with the influenza last fall and in April underwent an operation for tubercular trouble, fol- lowing the attack of influenza. When he was returned to the states he was trken to the base hospital at Fort Riley, remaining there until a few weeks ago, when he was transferred to Fort Sam Houston. He is sur vived in the immediate family by his wife and one child
 There was no military feature about the funeral, which brings to mind the first stanza of "rhe Burial of Sir John Moore" as follows. Not a drum was heard, not funeral
 note,
 As his corpse to the rampant we hur-
 ried;
 Not n soldier discharged his farewell
 shot
 Der the grave where our hero we
 buried"

Work in Mena to Be Done by Sunday
 Schools.

A prelimin- ary meeting was held Thursday night, and another meeting was held on Monday night, at which every Sun, day school is to be represented by the superintendent or some other repre- sentative. At this meeting the or ganization will be perfected to carry on the work, which eontemplates a systematic canvass of the city. The sponsor for the idea is D. E. Dodd
 In this connection it is interesting to note that Prof. George w. Reid, formerly superintendent of the Fort Smith schools, and during the period of the war engaged in Y. M. C. A. work, has been given the task of talk ing religious census of the state By the time he gets ready to start the work he will find that it has al ready been done in Mena.

PAY FARM BILLS BY CHECK
AND so BE BUSlNESS-LIKE

GO. e. Alfred, Division Of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)
1t is surprising that all farmers do
not use a checking system to pay farm
bills. It is much the best to pay as
few bills by cash as possible, and to
keep little cash around the house.
the sum estimated to cover all bills
for the month can be Sent to the bank
by mail, and checks drawn against the
account.
Every check stub is a good means
of keeping track" Of what has been
spent. And the endorsed check serves
as a receipt for the payment of the
bill.
AS the endorsed checks come back
from time to time they should be
kept as receipts that the, bills have
been paid 1t is well to keep these for
two or three years and to keep inn
portant ones even longer.
The less money handled the less
likelihood Of mistakes, and the more
business-like the account will be. Eff.
ficiency in keeping money is judged by
the small amount of money in the
farmers own purse. The simplest,
surest and best plan is to deposit in
the bank all money received and check
II out for expenses.

WHAT TWO MEN
DID WITH HENS
Profits Came in One Case and
Not in AROther-The
Reason
MEAT SCRAPS INCREASE EGGS
MeNaIry County, Tennessee, and Other
Counties in Tennessee are Using
More Profit-Making Feed as a Result
of Such Experiences.

Meat scraps increase egg production.
Jim Davis and Fred Hickey, neigh
bOrs, living in the hiIly section Of Nc
Marry county, Tennessee, met in town
In September to haul out Commercial
fertilizer for fall wheat planting. The
merchant who supplied them had pur'
chased a ton of Kindred meat scraps
These meat scraps were nothing but
the cracklings and refuse meat scraps
from the rendering kettle, which were
ground up into meal, and which con-
tanned so per cent protein. By feed
ing one part meat scraps with three
parts ground corn to hens, one would
greatly increase his egg yield, as the
neat scraps would furnish what thu
hens found in the cary spring in gruba
and worms not available in the late
summer and winter.
Mr.. Hickey felt that 1t was worth
giving trial.
Thirty days later the neighbors met
at the store for the frst time since Mr..
Hickey had made his purchase.
Each neighbor had some fifty old
hens and seventy-fiVe April Matched
pullets that began laying the first of
September. BY referring to his books
the merchant told how many eggs had
been purchased from each. After
feeding meat scraps for thirty days
Mr.. Hickey had sold exactly GO dozen
eggs, whole Mr.. Davis had sold IA
dozen and ten. Other than meat
scraps, they had been feeding the same
feeds, and their fowls were Of the
same breeding.
AS result of this meeting, Mr.
Hickey bought five sacks for future
use, and Mr.. Davis bought three

THE LIBERTY BELL
3 ~~~~~~~@~~~ @~~@~G

@~~~@~~~@#~~% 100000
The Liberty bell was imported from
England in 1852. A stroke of the
clapper cracked it and the bell was
recast in Philadelphia under the di-
rection Of Isaac Norton, to whom
we are indebted for the following
inscription, which surrounds the bell
near the top, from Leviticus ky, 10:
"Proclaim liberty throughout the land,
unto all the inhabitants thereof"
On July A, 1776, it first announced
the declaration then made. In 1777,
during the occupation Of Philadelphia
by the British, the bell was removed
to Lancaster. In 1871 it was placed
in the brick tower of the Pennsylva-
mia state house. For more than so
years the bell participated in the eel
ebration Of the anniversary Of the
declaration Of independence. 1t was
only rung on rare occasions.
It's last ringing, when it was un-
fortunately cracked, was while toll
ing for the death Of Chief Justice
Marshall An effort was made to re-
store its tone by saving the crack
wider. but it was unsuccessful.-To-
