PLEASED WITH SWEET POTATO
Popular Rural Mail Carrier Finds
 Profitable Side Line

Guy Beavers, as a side line to his rural mail route, raises a good bit of garden truck, among this sweet pota- toes. Last year he planted 23-40ths of an acre to Nancy Halls, and reports as follows: Sold for cash, $l70. With family of 2 to 8, has used the sweets almost every day as staple article of diet; bcdded down for plants, l2 bushels, and has six bushels left for table use.
 Of these last he brought two fine specimens to The Star, one of which, in some manner, was plainly marked with an almost perfect script 'B." This may stand for Bad, Best or Bully, but regardless of "signs", MT. Beavers proposes to put out 3 acres of Nancys this season.
 His past crop was cured and kept in little storage house of his own construction.

FLOYD BITTER IN
 ATTACK ONfOWELL
Candidate for Governor Declares Cam. den Man Privately Nominated" Not Bigger Than the
 Legislature.

Fayetteville, April 26. Ex-con- gressman J. c. Floyd, candidate for governor, spoke here tonight in the interest of his candidacy. He was heard by a fair-sizcd audience, IA cluding several women His speech in part follows:
 Shortly after 1 announced my can- didacy for governor a dispatch was printed in a Little Rock paper stating that MT Smead Powell was a candi date of the Pace-Davis faction and that ] was the candidate of the House-koD- inson faction and that the race for governor was between Floyd and Powell.
 T do not know who started this propaganda, but it was doubtless giv- en out to promote the candidacy of Mir. Powell and create an issue square ly between himself and me. I do not propose that those who are unfriendly to me shall state the issue upon which l am running for governor, for the de- feat of MT. Powell might avail me nothing, for he may be fourth or fifth man in this race before the contest is over, and am strongly inclined to the opinion that such will be the case.
 Says Powell Was Nominated"
 The only. hope for me to be elected governor in this contest is to defeat each and all of the eight other gentle men now in the race. Insefar as Mir. Powell is concerned understand that several months ago Frank Pace, Wal lace Davis, Smead Powell, z. NJ Me- Carroll and few other particular friends and politicians met in the law office of Pace & Davis at Little Rock and privately nominated Smsad Pow ell for governor, and are now merely asking the Democrats of Arkansas to ratify and confirm said nomination.
 T have nc apologies to make for any man in Arkansas who is supporting me, whether he be chairman of the state Democratic Central Committee or United States senator. I am in this contest seeking the votes of all Demo- crats who believe me worthy and com petent, and I think would make Ar kansas a good governor.
 criticizes Opponents Platform.
 T have carefully analysed Mir. Pow ellis platform as published in the Ga zette several months ago. He declares he is not in favor of revising our school revenue. He raps the Supreme Court, and raps Governor Brough's road legislation. He says he will veto every local bill unless notice is given I think this issue of little importance now since the Supreme Court recently annulled all the acts passed at one session of the legislature for want of notice. and prudent legislators here after will give the required notice.
 "He also declares he will veto all bills unless the emergency clause is left off, unless in his judgment real emergency exists, which he says sell dom happens. Tn other words, if elect ed, he is going to, be governor, legisla- view of his platform the question nat urally arises: What is he running on2
 T understand Judge Haynie stated at Russellville the other day that Mir. Powell was running on Wallace Davis war record I think Judge Haynie Is mistaken if he made such a statement and give it as my opinion that he Is running upon the pardon record of Gov. Charles Hillman Brough."

count of the short time remaining.

DON'T SET FIRES NOW,
SAYS LYNDEN CHIEF
Great, Declares Baldwin: Clean
Moss OFF Roofs

That the people OF Lynden should
be extra careful now not to set fires
outdoors during the dry season, is
the warning issued today by William
Baldwin, chief of the fire department.
Grass and wood are SO we'll summed
out now that the danger Of fires
spreading is very great while the lin
tied water supply might cause SER
ious difficulty in checking a blaze of
large proportions.
Don't set fires outdoors now" re-
quests Mr.. Baldwin. If you must
set them. please watch them until the
last spark is extinguished. Don't
take chances during this dry weather
as the danger is serious"
Moss should be scraped off the
roofs at once, says Baldwin. The
dried moss can easily catch spark
from the chimney and set the house
on fire.

URGE SCHOOL BOARD TO KEEP
Up HOT LUNCHES IN SCHOOL =

The plan of furnishing the Lynden
grade school children a plate of hot
soup or a cup of hot cocoa at noon
time without charge was endorsed by
the Community Club Monday, and a
formal request was made to the Lyn-
den school board that the system be
continued.
The hot lunch plan was started last
year, and was very successful. The
children brought the materials from
home, and the soups were prepared
by competent cook employed by the
school board The expense was very
small and the results were excellent,
w. A. Fisher pointed
out.
"A nourishing bowl of hot soup or
cocoa is a big help to the children"
said Mr.. Fisher. 1T increases their
ability to do good work. and improves
their physical condition. The plan
is certainly worth while

FINE SITE OFFERED
LYNDEN FOR A PARK
Scofield Tract i'm City Limits Has
Swimming Pool. and Many Bcauti-
full Features

Only the final approval of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Community
Club is needed now before a drive is
started to purchase for Lynden
real park site with opportunities for
fine Fairgrounds, picnic sites, and a
large swimming pool together with
other alluring features.
The executive committee will meet
Friday night at o'clock at the high
school, and if favorable action is ia
ken, the campaign for funds will start
at once. Captains will be appointed
and an effort made to cover the en-
tire district.
At the Community Club meeting
Monday night. the Scofield tract OF
about eight acres on Fishtrap Creek
was offered for a park for $4,000.
and it is this spot that members who
inspected it declare holds out wonder
full possibilities.
The tract has an outlet on Third
Street, two blocks beyond the depot.
The entry is screened from the road
by clump of small NAPLES. Two
tall trees flank the gateway, and be-
yond, cleared slope leans down to
the waters of the creek. Further
into the tract, a swimming hole four
or five feet deep in spots and fifty
feet square offers an inviting plunge
for old and young, as this can be wild
ened and cut off from the main creek
with but little expense. Fine trees
of all varieties cover the remainder
OF the tract, with dozens of beautiful
picnic spots.
The tract joins the Hawley Park
area on the south so that ii is pos
sible to make an entry way from that
direction.
Under the plan that will probably
be followed, campaign will be made
to raise the So 900 for the purchase.
and then the park will be turned oy-
er to the city. The mayor would ap-
point a park board to take charge of
it. No admission would be charged
at any time to enter the park.
That it will be easy to raise the
fund for the purchase of the park.
is indicated by the enthusiasm shown
on all sides for the project. One man
offered to give $3.50 at the meet
ing Monday night, and others have
promised sums of Sl00 and $50.
To call the spot "Lynden Memorial
Park" was decided at a previous
meeting of the executive committee.
in honor of the boys who served their
country ON land and sea during the
war. 1t is likely that a row of trees
will be planted in memory of those
who died in the service.
