Shellac is the joint product of insects and plants and comes from India. The lac insects are about 1.25 of an incn long, a bright red in color They suck the juice of plants. digest them and ex- ude them in the form of resin which soon eITcases the whole insect. When the young insects have swarmed out, the resin is scraped from the branches, ground, washed, mixed with colophony and orpiment, cooked slowly and drawn out into the thin sheets we know as

This week A. ]. Kent, county chair
man of the recent Interchurch World

Dear Mr.. Kent:

press our appreciation to you and

TAX STOCK DIVIDENDS
TO PAY SOLDIER BONUS
Details, Including Retroactive Deci-
sion, Yet to Be Decided by
House Republicans

Washington, May 15.-Taxation Of
stock dividends vas virtually agreed
upon yesterday by a majority of the
Republican members of the house ways
and means committee as a new plan
for raising part of the money to pay
the cost of proposed soldier relief leg
islation. Final action is expected to
be taken at once, committeeman said.
The Republican committee decided
yesterday to limit the maximum cash
bonus under the proposed soldier re-
lief legislation to $500 and to limit the
grants under the other provisions to
1925.
Strong opposition to the stock divi-
dends tax developed among the Re
publicans, Chairman Fordney being
said to have led the attack. Support
ers of the plan, however, said that its
final adoption was assured and that
Democratic committeeman who were
not at the meeting had promised to
support the new scheme.
While various rates and dates for
the tax were placed before the COM
mittee, the consensus of opinion was
said to be that the tax should be a
levy Of five per cent of the value Of the
stock dividends. Some committee
men were said to favor making the
levy retroactive TO the date of the
supreme court decision holding the
old income tax on such dividends un-
constitutional, while others favored
going back for a longer period.
Other changes in the soldier relief
bill also were agreed on finally by
the Republicans, who expect to end
their drafting of the measure today.
AmOag them was that specifying
that cash bonus payments should be
$50 quarterly. with the maximum
bonus to anyone being fixed at $500,
with the corresponding value of the
options Of the cash bonus being linn
tied to 1925.

PRAISE JUNIOR
RED CROSS

Alfred Powers, district manager
Tor the Junior Red Cross was in the
city Monday and called upon County
Superintendent Flood. He compli-
mented the schools in the county
very highly stating that they were
among the schools of the state which
have the greatest number of 100 per
cent schools. OF the schools and
easses under SO grade teachers in
the city and county all but four
are members of the Junior Red Cross
n Of these 16 are 100 per cent.
The sum of $40 has been turned
into the national fund and between
$50 and $50 will be used to buy
books and toys for the Boomers Fer
ry hospital for the use of sick and
convalescent members of the Junior
Red Cross who may be at that in
stitution from time to time.
Many Of the Junior auxiliaries at
the schools have made scrapbooks
and donated canned fruit during the
school year to be used for this pur-
pose.
The aim Of the Junior Red Cross
will be to place first aid kits in
all the schools of the county next
year and to instruct the teachers
and children in their use.
Early next fall Mrs. w 7. Faucet,
IN conjunction with a Red Cross
nurse will make a survey of all the
students in the rural schools of the
county and where necessary will
make recommendations of care or
treatment for children whose eyes,
throat, ears and general health need
attention,

Read the Mena Star and you will be happy. Read each week how the farmers are organizing stock com panies to start berry farms, truck farms and land that is cheap and adapted to produce the fine favored strawberries, fine meated cantaloupe, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. We are lining up with the best markets in the country and expect to build big ware houses where all the farmers will find market for all they produce at prices that will justify the farmer for his work, and on next Saturday we want every farmer or any person | xub tlrn fn 4,L .f, sx.
