CRAVE PERIL LURKS
 IN TURK SITUATION
British Papers See Danger of Driving Sultan From Constantinople-Mos- lem Unrest Is Serious Menace
 Would Add Fuel to Flames.

London, Feb. 24 Agitation in favor of expelling the Turks from Constan tinople which has a conspicuous feat ure in one section of the press during the last few days and which has had the support of the religious and phi lanthropic bodies, met counterbIast from another section of the London newspaper world, today which con tended the session was one of such importance that it could not be settled on sentimental considerations but must be left to the matured deIibera- ton of the supreme allied council
 In a lengthy argument the Tele- graph asserted that British statesman ship has neither tine duty nor inter- est to expel the sultan from Constan tinople and expressed the opinion that agitation to this end was ill-inspired and ill-considered
 We counsel those who sincerely support it," the newspaper continued to give more unprejudiced study to new factors in the problem, especially Great Britains problem as power which must not disregard the feelings of many millions of it's Moslem sub jects"
 The Daily News. which has always been a staunch champion of the Ar menians and a supporter of Glad. stones demand to sweep the Turks out of Europe" also calls for consider ation of the problem in the light of real question Is the weight to be at tached to warnings of Moslem unrest as result of the expulsion of the Turks from their spiritual capital. The newspaper remarks that although Vis- count James Bryce. whose view is entitled to profound respect, dismissed the so-called Moslem peril as being overdrawn, other authorities entitled to equal respect and with more recent acceptance in eastern conditions hold precisely the opposite view"
 The news depiores the fact that re cent demonstrations were not started before the decision of the allies was announced The Morning Post says
 The British government, by making nasty announcement through India Of l the decision in favor of the Sultan has barred revision of that decision. {"
 The newspaper seeks to show the decision was merely a concession 10 political agitation in Hindustan, who may not be temporarily modified by ir. The recent campaign in favor of the expulsion Of the Turks is said by the Express to be based on a 'perfervid sentiment" and the newspaper argues there is not a single advantage to be obtained in drawing the sultan from I Constantinople.

RAILROAD WORKERS
 MUCH DISSATISFIED

Washington, Feb 23-Ralrcad la bor is not satisfied with the way things are going with respect to it's wage demands That was indicated in unmistakable manner in conferences here today of union officials and to pass on the presidents settlement pro- posal Passage of the railroad bill by the senate tonight only served to add more bitterness to the talk of the union workers
 Union spokesmen believed there was no way to avoid direct appeal to the president to veto the Cummins- Esch measure. They declared it must be done to satisfy the workers, who have snot had close up of the situa- tion But as to hope that the legisla- tion might yet be kicked overheard there was little expression.
 The gist of the strike talk, as ex- pressed by several influential union officers, was that the railroad organi- cations have reason to assert their strength through walkout, but it was deemed inadvisable by them at least to carry out such a program now Put ting it frankly, one leader declared that the action of the Brotherhood oi Maintenance of Way Employees and Shop laborers in issuing the recent strike call had hurt the workers cause. materially.

STORE OWNCOTTON SAVE S75,OOO,OOO
Expert Advice Given by Col. T. J. Shackelford-Only 3 in 50 Years Has Staple Been Sold Above
 Cost of Production.

From the Fort Smith Times Record.
 Fort Smith, Feb. 23.--0nly by stor- ing their own cotton in their own warehouses, averting loss of $75,- 000,000 caused last year by farm damage" losses, only by controlling their own cotton and only by market ing it themselves, can the people of the South be prosperous, declared Col. T. J. Shackelford, main speaker at the Banker Business Mems dinner today, The talk was one of the best ever giv- en at a meeting of this sort, and thru it the business interests here, and the banking interests of Northwestern Ar kansas were shown just where the fu- ture of the South hes-thru it's coop erative congresses and warehouses run in the interests of the cotton grower.
 "Only during the last three years of the last half century has the sale of cotton been above cost" said the ex- pert. That was because of the abso- lute necessity of the product then. The world needs over 30,000,000 bales year, yet every time there is crop of 15,000,000 the price slumps to be- low cost of production and some one else gets the profit-the manufactur- CTS. That is because the South has no selling system, no warehouse sys- tenn to store it's cotton in, while the market is ruinous. If there is a de- mand for all we can raise, there must be a price for it that will give us a legitimate profit and we intend to get that profit and hold it in the South 'The bankers are the strongest ele- ment in our organization, for it is thru them that the capital for the erection of the warehouses and com presses will be advanced. With these warehouses of our own cotton will be bankable product. That interests them, they interest us. Under the Federal Reserve bank act recently passed the cotton product of the South, properly stored, will become the best collateral in the world.
 "Last year, according to govern ment statistics, there was loss of S75, ,o00,00 caused by damage to cot ton in being thrown about on the ground at the compress and farm, by being exposed to the weather and by poor storage. It is up to the South to stop that leak of prosperity"
 In consluding, Colonel Shackelford stated: There can be no prosperity in the South until cotton brings a fair and profitable price to the grower Cotton, being the principal crop of the South, it's being sold at price under the cost of production has brought il- literacy, poverty and bad roads to the South; in fact, pauperizing it. Where cotton has been grown in the past there has been poverty; where it has been prosperity. The object of the American Cotton association is to
 bring that prosperity to the South"

HOLLAND STICKS TO KAISER.
Won't Even Transfer Fugitive's Resi-
 dence Without Diplomatic Struggle.

The Hague, Feb 1S.-Holland will not even change the exiled German kaiser's place of residence without a diplomatic struggle.
 Following receipt of the latest all lied note demanding that the kaiser at least be confined to some place that is certain to be safe, providing he is not surrendered to the entente, it was learned today that the Dutch govern ment will not recede from it's position it can prevent any intriguing on the part of Wilhelm under present condi- tions. This means that Holland will not consent to put the deposed kaiser in exile in the East Indies without pressure.
 The contents of the allied note be- came known to the Dutch public thru wireless messages from London, and the government is generally support ed in the stand it will take.

FOLKS WANT TO KNOW

Perhaps 1t IS natural and to be ex- pected, and whether it is or is not, the fact remains that lots of people come to the home newspaper, one way and another, seeking information on mat ters of public concern.
 This has been particularly true in the matter of building the Polk county Jefferson Highway.
 The Star has so long favored and worked for improved roads in Polk county, that it does not think anyone will say that it is against such im- provements because it voices the wish es for enlightenment on the part of those who must pay the taxes. And, as matter of fact, if it did not think so, it still would ask the questions, be- cause they are such as the people have right to know.
 As the commissioners of the big highway are the general managers of the enterprise, and as such-are acting for the people who furnish the nancy, they know more about these things than any others, and therefore the fol- lowing queries are addressed to them, with an earnest and respectful re- quest that they be answered at an early date:
 If the highway assessments on record are the full amounts to be charged, or if there is to be an inter- est charge in addition? And, if so, how much?
 If the entire bond issue for the Jefferson Highway is to run for 20 years and draw interest for the full period. CT if there is a pro vision to take up one or more bonds each year, and cut the interest charge in half, as iii the case of Mena's Wa ter Works bonds?
 The total amount of the bond is- sue to be made for the building of the Jefferson Highway in Polk County?
 If the money. received from the sale of bonds is to be placed in a depository to draw interest on aver age daily deposits? If so, on what toHAttttttc VIII ftHt ucpoSAtOiy US selected and the amount of such in- terest established?
 How much state and federal aid will be secured by Road Improve ment District No. I?
 What benefit is assessed against the kansass City Southern Railway Company, and by what method was such assessment arrived at? Will the Curative Act, so called, i passed by the last extraordinary session of the legislature permit the extension of thekbenefit district for six miles on each side of the high 1 way along the entire route? If there will be a readjustment of ] the assessments of benefits annual i ly or periodically, or if the assess ments as now on file will stand un- changed during the entire period of 20 years?
 If the assessments as made are on a graduated scale, decreasing as the distance from the highway in l creases?
 If two or more improvement dis tricts should lap on one property, could or would such property be taxed on a basis of 30 per cent of it's assessed value for each improve ment?

UNCLE JACK DAVIS
 GOES 10 REWARD
Ss<eumbs to Attack of Paralysis at Age of S3 Years-Held Office in Polk County More Than Quar-
 ter of Century.

Tuesday afternoon at the home on Bethesda Springs road, occurred the death of William Jackson Davis, one of Polk county's best known citizens. Uncle Jack" as he was familiarly known turnout the city and country, passed away as the result of stroke Of Paralysis. Shortly after 3 o'clock he was stricken and remained uncon- scious until the end, a few hours later.
 Funeral services will be held at the home Thursday morning at 10 o'clock Burial will be at Odd Fellows ceme- texy.
 Few men have had wider circle of aeouaintances and have influenced the building up of Polk county more than Uncle Jack" Davis. His life here ex- tended over a period of 60 years, and b that time he took prominent part n the affairs of the county. Until i'll hea1th compelled his retirement he was an active force in Mena and vicin- ity and was particularly active in pub lid matters.
 For more than a quarter century he was identified with county offices and such was the esteem he was held in bS the voters of the county, his tenure ef office was almost continuous.
 Uncle Jack, at the time of his 3eath was almost S3 years of age. He vas born in Georgia, April 3, 1887, and came to Polk county while a young man. When the great war be- tween the states came he enlisted in an Arkansas regiment and served Kaiiantly until the fatal day at the battle of Chickamauga, where he was k terribly wounded. It was in this bat tie that an exploding shell destroyed one arm and maimed the hand on the other.
 Following recovery from his wounds the young soldier returned to Polk county to live. In 1872 he was first elected to the office of clerk of the county, performing the duties that are HOW performed by circuit and coun- ty c1erks. Dallas was then the coun- ~ seat of Polk county. Following the expiiration of this term Mir Davis served as deputy clerk under the late 4. P. Alexander, father of Will Alex ander, the present county clerk
 Tn 1880, Uncle Jack" was elected clerk again, serving until 1892. His final term ended in 1904, when w. l. Green was elected circuit clerk Alto eether Uncle Jack served as clerk or deputy 26 years. It was during his incumbency the court house was moved from Dallas to Mena.
 Many of the present residents of Mena and Polk county recall incl donts in the life of Uncle Jack that re- veal the sterling honesty of the man, his Integrity and his old fashioned ideas of hospitality and friendliness.
 Uncle Jack" was twice married. Little Jackp Davis, now living at Caddo Gap, is the only survivor of the Hrst marriage. Of the second mar riage the survivors are the aged wife and four children, besides numerous grand children, and one great grand tlild The children are Barney Davis and Mrs. Albert Robertson of Mena; Mrs. Carl Sublett and Mrs. Gene Dick ens. both of Tulsa, Ok.
