 MANUFACTURERS JULY SALE
To the People of Mena and Polk coun-

To the People of Mena and Polk Coun- ty:
 We wish to call your attention to the fact that on July IS we open one of the greatest Dry Goods, Clothing and Shoe Sales ever held in Mena. We make this statement because we know the condition of the markets and we know that we are going to offer values that should be appreciated by the pub lie.
 No doubt you have read some of the articles in the papers with reference to the present unsettled condition of the leather markets. Shoe manufac- turers claim that it will soon be ne- cessary to advance their prices from $2.00 to s4.00 pair. This seems. al- most impossible, but there is no doubt that these prices will soon come.
 All lines of Clothing, Hats, Under wear, Hosiery, Staple Cloths, Dress Goods and Silks have advanced twenty per cent during the past sixty days. You are going to pay higher prices for your fall supplies if you wait until fall to make your purchases.
 We have in stock about fifty thou sand dollars worth of high class mer- chandise. Our retail prices are based on the prices we paid and in many cases we have even cut prices below actual cost in order to make this July Sale a great success.
 If you have not received one of our circulars, it will be well worth while for you to call for one or phone us and we will mail it to you. The prices quoted will positively be withdrawn when the sale closes and it may be many months before you will have an- other opportunity to buy your neces- sary supplies and articles of wearing apparel at these prices.
 Respectfully yours.
 Duke-Magruder Dry Goods Go.

LEVINE, A SECOND MESSIAH
"All Foreigners Are Liars Unless Bol
 shevilSi," Say Leaders.
Adv. 1es&2s

snrtthts Dds Lcducfs.
 New York, July 12.-Lenine is the second Messiah, according to the Mos COW Bolsheviki.
 "We regard Lenine as a second Christ" Bolshevik in the foreign office told the correspondent in great seriousness.
 Lenine personally is not averse to this boost into the deity, according to impressions from those who can see him. Only limited group of leaders with special passes are allowed to see Lenine, who lives in the Kremlin cita- del, formerly stronghold of the an- cient czars.
 Lenine refuses to see any foreign CTS, according to a message he sent to the correspondent, thru an agent, in reply to a request for an outline of his views.
 "All foreigners are liars, and can not be trusted, unless they are Bolshe- wiki" was Lenine's point of view, ac- cording to his agent.
 With simple-minded Russians the Bolsheviki are trying to put over the idea that Lenine is the Great Fath- er," who has superseded the Little Father" the czar.
 Mrs. Lenine has been promoted to high enough standing in Bolshevist circles that she, too, is entitled to live in the Kremlin along with Lenine. Mrs. Lenine is regarded as the first lady of Russia. She has an important post at the head of an educational or ganization and is regarded by Bolshe- wiki as being almost equal to her hus- band.

Scored 9 Runs in Saturdays Baseball Game to Opponents 6-DayIight Saving Law Helps the Pas
 time-The Lineup.

Two baseball teams, misnamed tht Bankers and the Roughnecks, played a snappy game on the Travellers dia. mond Saturday evening and gave Mena fans the lone exhibition of the national sport of the week. The Bankers took the big per cent of the score, winning to 5.
 The game demonstrated two things viz, that the daylight saving law helps city folks who want baseball: second, that Mena has lot of ball players that have never yet been in a Travellers uniform.
 During the game Harold Daniels proved that he is some swatter, knock ing the first home run of the season Daniels hit was the longest made by any player and would have been still longer had the ball not struck tree.
 The teams were misnamed for only three genuine bankers appeared in the lineup, while the Roughnecks were not that class at all
 Scoring started in the first inning when Finger, for the Roughnecks, hit safely thru the Bankers infield, stole second and third and scored on Ford's hit to left field. The Bankers first tally came in the second when Fetch CT knocked one clear thru Pigg in right field, and then scored from sec ond on Vandiver's hit to center.
 The Roughnecks added another in the second when Galloway scored, but the Bankers took the lead in the third. Magruder walked, Martin hit one too hot for Jack Steele at short and Lyons singled. With three on Lane hit safely to left and Magruder and Martin scored.
 The Roughnecks evened up the score in their half of the inning with Daniels home run. The Bankers took another in the fifth when Martin hit past third, stole second and scored on Wililford's sacrifice. Philpot scored the Bankers fifth tally in the sixth and Martin added another in the fol lowing inning.
 In the seventh Martin for the Roughnecks hit safely between short and second and scored when Jones knocked Texas leaguer into right. Jones was nabbed while trying to stretch the hit into a homer. The Roughnecks made their final score in the eighth when Finger, who had been hit by the pitcher, stole second and came home on Ford's hit to left gar den.
 With the score 6 to the ninth opened with the Bankers at bat. They started the fireworks when Martin hit to second and beat out the throw Williford hit to right and landed safe Lyons sacrificed and Martin was cut off at third. Lane hit to short and Williford was also cut down on Gallo ways bag Fletcher clinched the Bankers victory by pushing one into center for homer, scoring Lyons and Lane and making the final score to 5.
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Bankers-M Martin, C.; Lyons, D.; Lane, 1st.; Fletcher, 2d.; Williford, ss.; Vandiver, 3d; Duke, lf.; Philpot, cf.; Magruder, If.
 Roughnecks-Taff, C.; Daniels, D.; Finger, 1st.; Ford, 2d.; Steele, ss.; Galloway. 3d.; Martin, f.; Jones, cf.; Pigg, If.
