 TRnuRLE OUT AT OPAL.

A correspondent from Opal, signed "One of the Committee" enters com plaint. The matter is serious, too Tn a recent item in the "Ouachita News" the correspondent, in telling of very successful box supper, said "The cakes for the best looking boy and the ugIiest girl were awarded to Thomas Holman and Miss Oracle Standridge."
 Now comes the complainant. "One of the Committee" and wants a cor rection. This writer says the cake went to the "prettiest girl and the ugliest boy" and that it was wrote" the other way on purpose, and it is causing confusion in this settlement.
 The Star hastens to make amends. Of course it is presumed the corres- pondent who sent in the first story also will apologize to Miss Oracle for his poor wit--if it was The" and if a lady--but that might make q differ ence.
 Anyhow, The Star hopes the Opal folks won't be too worked up over it. Everybody knows there "ain't no such thing" as an "ugliest girl' anyhow, and that all boys are ugly, more or less.
 Probably, however, that story was wrote" that way on purpose, as the complainant ayers, but if it was it was only a joke, and any girl pretty enough to win cake at box supper in that neighborhood is good Indian enough to take joke in good spirit Mavbe someone is just putting one oyerp on "One of the Committee" by nretending to be mad about it-and that's another joke.
 B,,t-when all is said--keep this m mind correspondents, few jokes look inc same in cold type as they would sound in spoken words with twink ling eye accompaniment-especialiy to the "other fellow v

KEEPING FIT.

"Keeping Fit" is the short way to describe the subject of talks beng given to schools and public gatherings in Arkansas by Dr. DeWalt Norton representing the Arkansas State Board of Health.
 Dr. Norton completed his work for the present round in Mena today by lectures at two of the schools.
 keeping Fit" is about the most inn portant duty of a people. It means clean living. both physically and mor- ally. and the fate of our race depends upon it. and there is no better place to start this thing than in our schools 1t is here that thoughtful considera- ton of health topics will have the most influence. and will plant seed early in the minds of the coming men and women that will in later life en- able them to avoid the pitfalls, the diseases and sufferings that too often result from ignorance and thought lessness.
 The data in the hands of the State Board of Health showing the prevail ence of several diseases alone in Ar kansas are appalling, and much at tention is being given to this feature # public health.
 The doctrine of Keeping Fit" should be carried into every hamlet and every home, and in Dr. Norton the cause seems to have a conscientious and serious-minded advocate.

Democracy or Autocracy Which? Editor Mena Star:
 Will you please give me space in your paper to discuss some phases of the road question in Polk county? wish. to point out in specific and plain way the objections that many of us have to the plan of procedure, and to suggest an easy way to settle the differences and bring about a harmo- nious feeling on the question.
 First. I wish it distinctly under stood that I am a strong advocate of good roads, and that the great mass of the farmers recognize the need of road improvement and are willing and anxious to be taxed in any fair and equitable way and in any amount that is necessary to provide the means ne cessary to make such improvement, vet because we object to the ways and means sought to be used by few citi- zens who seem to have taken the mat ter in hand and presume that they are endowed with the divine or some other right to say what shall be done and the law of doing it, we are designated as kickers, knockers. unprogressives and mossbacks. Everyone who dares to express an opinion different to that of the booster, is, of course, knocker, but don't you think these boosters often go to extremes, and if there were no conservatives to hold them in check that their reign would be dis astrous? Can't you think at this time of very forcible example in high official circles of so called pro- gressiveness being a little over done {?
 Is it not a fact, when you come to think seriously of the matter that over
 boosting is more dangerous thing than little knocking?

 mony. The constitution of our state, after reciting the declaration of rights, adds; "To secure these rights govern

TO PLAY SOCCER

At the meeting of the athletic in
structcrs of the valley high schools,
held in the office of the Central Union
High. it was decided that football will
not be one of the games played by
the students of the schools this year.
Objections by the board of trustees
of the Imperial Union High with drew
that team from the league, thus break
ing the league into an odd number.
Holtville also objected to playing the
game, owing to the light team avail
able. 1t was haid that the Holtville
team would not average more than 12O
pounds, making it too light to compete
with the Calexico or Ell Centre teams.
Calexico withdrew in support OF
Holtville, leaving Brawley and FL
Centre favoring the game.
1t was decided to substitute soccer
for the American game and probably
a favorable report will be sent out
by the schools, supporting it.

G. Hargrove, representative of

letter, refuting statements of Acting
Attorney General Keeling of Texas,
who was quoted in these columns sew
eral days ago.
The other side of the question, an
mills side of the question, will be
The hint or defense Of the manufac-
turers seems to be that the attorney
general is playing politics.
The letter in full is as follows:
Recent news articles in Imperial
Valley papers quote Acting Attorney
General Keeling Of Texas to The eff
feet that as high as $50 per ton is
now being paid for cotton seed in
parts of the South. From all the
data we have been able to gathes the
scale of prices on cotton seed quoted
by the attorney general of Texas is
very largely incorrect, and to say the
least very misleading. We quote
below wire just received from
Lewis N. Geldert, of Washington, D.
C.
referring to your wire absolutely
no truth in statement of Texas attor-
ney general as reported that some
parts of South paying $50 for cotton
seed. Records of sales reported by.
bureau of market, agricultural de-
partment here shows $43 car load
lots Bennettsville, South Carolina, and
Greenwood. Mississippi, October2, the
highest price paid this season in en-

wagon lot. Highest price anywhere
in Texas $50 and in Oklahoma $25,
Alabama $3.50. Average price for
prime seed all over cotton belt last
week about $685."

We also submit wire from Cotton
& Cotton Oil News, which is consid-
cred the most reliable trade paper in
the cotton industry:

we further find that said Earl Beach
was careless in handling his revolver
at the time the deceased was shot.
