THE TEST or AMERIcANIsM.

From the Kansas City Star
 Citizens who esteem themselves good Americans but fulfill none of the political obligations of citizenship may be able to deceive themselves, but they cannot deceive their fellows who have been through battle for America. Said Major Garrett in an address on The American Soldiers in France. .''
 r1 have seen men die for America. I have seen men die with the word America on their lips"
 We cannot expect that men who have been through this test. and have seen 1t met with the highest sacrifice. will come back and be impressed with the complacency of citizens whose in- difference and neglect permit the in- stitutions thus preserved to be ex- plotted by selfish interests.
 No man can be a good American who makes any distinction between his political and, military obligations. The American soldiers who have come back to civil life are holding this test up to us. How are we to meet 1t? The patriot1sm that expresses itself in mere lip service will not answer. We will be ashamed to go about exaltine America in one breath and sboastine in another that we do not mix in poli- tics because 1t is rotten" game. The people of Kansas Cityscan best prove their Americanism by redeem ing their ely from the kind of politics that now controls it. They can do fl by taking it's politics into their owr hands and making it's standard worthy to be borne beside that for which SC many better Americans have diet abroad.

This is the year of 1920. This is the year when the good people of Polk county and the state of Arkansas are going to elect their officers, and now is the time for all voters to think who will be our best man to elect for governor. Let's choose man who will represent the people of our state. Let's choose a man Whom the people of our state will be proud of, a busi- ness man, man who will give the people a. square deal. A man who will do his duty and be credit to our country. All voters think about this in our next convention. Every coun- ty has a representative that makes our state legislature. You voters in every county give this matter of choosing the best men for our legislature. Get good strong men, men who are not afraid to speak, men who will be pro gressive in enforcing the laws of our 
 state, men who will be active at the meetings of our legislature when able, and it will not be long till voters will be called to our county primaries and then is the time for every voter to be there That is the time to nomin- ate our best men for our county off, cers and good men for delegates to our state convention and if we have a man in our county office who has failed to do his duty and is not good progressive man and odes not know you only at the polls on election day, cut him out Do it now. We have got as good blood in Polk county as any other county, and why not get the man that will represent the good peo- pie. Think about these questions my fellow voters. Talk to your neighbors and try and line up with the best men in Polk county for the office. Now is the time to do your work and not wait till the last. minute before the convention and let some clique run in, some undesirable man the people do not want. Get busy now.

GET THE ROADS IN SHAPE.

Farmers take notice of the fearful bad roads that lead to your town. Almost impossible to haul anything to or from your town. Now is the time to get after your road overseers and see why we don't get more work done on our public roads If it is money needed, ask him to have a mill or two more added to our road tax. Let us have better roads. It is not only pleasure to ride on good roads, but it adds more value to our farms. A good road from your home to your town adds $500 value per acre to your land. Look after this and get action right now.

Duke -Magruder Company Suffers 2
 Loss Because of Rain. "

Loss Because Of Rain. .a The heavy rainfall of Wednesday night caused damage to several busi- ness places in Mena where there were defective roofs, but the greatest loss was at the Duke -Magruder store. The rain not only penetrated portions of the roof, to the second floor, but managed to get thru in spots to the main floor of the big store. White goods on the second floor and shoes on the first floor suffered the most. Pres ident Fred Duke estimated Thursday the damage will be at least $500. The office of the Stuart Land Company al- so suffered from leaky roof.

HOW ABOUT NEW HAND BAG?
Series of Fascinating Loops Is Late Style; How the Convenience
 Is Constructed.

And here are some plans for per fectly delectable little example of ul- tramOdern tendencies in bags. It is a bead bag, this, but a most different sort of bead bag, the beads not being used in aIlover effect or even in outline effect, but in series of perfectly fas- cinating loops.
 Judging from what you've already been told, then, you will buy your beads already strung; nor trouble your self to unstring them. Also, you will buy them quite small, and of gold or silver, or any of the variety of colors that may suit your fancy, or, better still, your costume.
 Now this bag model begins with the usual satin or taffeta foundation, and on more or less conventional draw string bag lines. Before you even think about "drawing" 1t, though, mark it off with horizontal lines about half an inch apart, much depending on the size of the bag itself, though, in the first place.
 For the marking, choose either chalk or conspicuously colored bast- ing stitches. Then using these stripes as guide lines, begin at one of the. bag seams, tack the end of your bead strand into place, loop it till it reaches the guide line below, then secure 1t about a quarter or an eighth of an inch from the first tacking.
 Continuing that way all along one line, go to the line below, until you reach the bottom, where, for finish, you will use either great tassel of the beads or fringe of loops rather larger than those used to cover the bag proper.
 Finally go back to the opening, make taut little loops all around the top thereof, and pull heavy silk cord through to act in the capacity of draw string.

"SORE SH|N'' ATTACKS COTTON CROP, , DUE ID LATE SPRING AND COLD

Due to the late spring and cold earth, '.sore shin" has developed in sthe local cotton crop, according to County Agent H. c. Heard, who said that the fact that the disease had appeared in the valley in coarse soil where it was not expected to do much damage. is an additional worry added to the al- ready many of the cotton growers
 Sore shin" attacks the cotton plant between the stem and the root about an inch under the surface and rots the outer layers of tissue Climatic condi- tions have materially forwarded the development of sore shin," and the present outcome is problematical. said MT. Heard. He adds that growers had best be on the lookout for the disease, and that the only remedial measure was to cultivate so as to aerate and warm up the soil as close to the plant as. possible.
 Prospects of American cotton pro- ducing 15.000,O0O bales this season, the amount the world is calling for are in his opinion, rather slim, said MT. Heard, adding that three-quarters of that amount would be nearer the pos sibility.

TO DISCUSS BONDS IF THE FAMOUS RAILROAD THAT NEVER WAS BUILT

County supervisors and county at torneys of Maricopa, Yavapai, Coco nino and Pima counties will meet this morning at 10 o'clock in the office of the board of supervisors in Phoenix to discuss the refunding railroad bonds' issued by these counties years ago to finance the> building of railroad from Ashfork through Phoenix to Tucson by the Missouri and Pacific railway company.
 The issue, amounting to nearly s1- 100000. was voted by the counties un- der a special legislative act to encour- age the building of the line. For some reason, the bonds were turned over to the railroad company before work had been started on the road. It never was built.
 Before the bonds were invalidated by the state courts the railroad com pany sold them to a third party. The United States supreme court them val dated the bonds to protect the pur- chaser. When Arizona became state,

Asked why he carried the tiny flashlight, Gonzales said he used it for irrigating work, declaring he worked all night digging 6itches- He accounted for the many addresses he had given the officers by saying he offered to take the officers directly 10 the place where he lived, but that they were afraid to go. He said friends in Jerome gave him the silk handker- chiefs and a croSS-eyed friend in Chandler presented him with the gloves, while he bought the silk hose from the husband of a fat woman in Tempe.
 Officer Blea testified that on exam ming Gonzales he found evidence of Gonzales having received the "cat O nine tails" which is accorded recalcitrant prisoners in certain pen itentiaries.
