July 3, 4, 5, 6, and 2 will be the tes for the Mena Chautauqua this ar, the dates having just recently en definitely announced by the Ehite & Myers Chautauqua Associa-
 n.
 The program for 1920 promises to , stronger than in any previous lar. The assurance has been given 1t there will be new ideas in the ,gram, in advertising, in equipment Id in the plan of the preliminary ar ss@e..e-.s. Many of the concert will carry their own spe- ll scenery, which, with the new
 hting effects will contribute much the effectiveness of the program.
 Among the lecture headliners will the Hon. Leslie Willis Sprague of w York, who will speak oh "The Eophecy of the Present Unress." len, there will be the Hon. Granville |ues, who will be remembered by the ana chautauqua attendants in his :ture, Feeding on Husks," which ,uld be even more appropriate now an when he delivered it in Mena be- |re. Other lecturers are the Hon. va Morton Reitzel and Henry Clark. The musical features of the pro- Ham are especially strong, starting
 the opening day with the Metro Titan Symphony Club, a male quin- !; with Miss Abbott as pianist. This |npany will give the prelude in the ternoon and the full program at ght. The Maryland Singers, a
 xed quartet will be the musical |ogram for the second day, and then n come the Dixie Duo with musi- | program of the old South. The gh peak in the musical and enter
 nment part of the program will be ached with the presentation of the Hsh love comedy, "Peg O My Heart"
 J. Hartley Manners.
 The local guarantors will meet soon E appoint committees, arrange for sale of season tickets and do all e necessary to make the 1920 Chau- Elqua a success.

cARRANzA SAW THE END
"We Are Lost: Good-5y," He Said, and
 Fled-Few With Him.

City of Mexico, May 1S.-"We are lost. Goodbye, gentlemen"
 Those were Carranza's final words before his flight from the besieged trains in the early afternoon of May II, while pausing momentarily before a crowd of terrified civilian refugees a few miles east of San Marcos, accom- panied by few intimates and guarded by what special dispatches term a small cavalry force.
 The fugitive president crossed the narrow valley through which the Mex. ican railway passes, stopped for few moments to watch the liberal revolu- tionary forces occupy the stalled trains, then disappeared among the mountains.
 It is believed certain that Carranza is heading northeast toward the coast by way of Cofre de Perote, with the intention of boarding a steamer at some small port and escaping from the country.

FRANCE PAST STRIKE CRAZE Labor, After Struggle, Has Repudiated
 Political Aqitators.

Paris, May 20.-The French labor CT has finally re-discovered himself as he used to be before the war Po- lital strikes hereafter are tabooed in France.
 The absolute refusal of individual workers to quit their jobs for political reasons, which caused the collapse of the present general strike" virtually killing all the authority possessed by the general confederation Of labor, has demonstrated at last, according to those who should know, that French labor has traversed the critical post war period of restlessness which had affected all workers everywhere
 The men of the rank and file in in- dustry have steadied their nerves. squared their perspective with the realities of life, and regained their pre-war common sense and ecuilib. rum. They are now ready for ser ious work. Those weell informed regard as an equally important fact the repudiation of bolshevism by the unions, as indicating that French in dustry now rests on firm basis. brand, the Photographer.--Adv. s 11

 MT. Elliott pointed out that in the eastern territory railroads for the year ending october 31 returned on prop. erty investments Tess than one fifth of one per cent"
 Less In South
 In the southern territory, he said, returns were less than three- -fourths of one per cent and in the western ter ritory slightly more than two per cent For the country as a whole the return was said to have been slightly more than one per cent.
 The railroads must obtain earnings enough to meet all obligations ard have sufficient credit to sustain them in competition with other peoples time, brains, energy and money"
 Mir. Elliott declared that tine rail- road operators were just as desirous Of obtaining fair adjustment of wage for their 2,000,000 or more men, as they were to receive the increased revenue, he said:
 There is man power, brain power, courage and common sense and vision in the country to succeed, if they will pull together, work long and hard, and eliminate selfishness, waste and extra vagance."

-----------fl--- - BOYS ENDANGERED TRAIN
Accused of Placing Piece of Iron Be-
 tween Fail Joints.

tWreI Falt JoiDtS.
 Train No. 4 had a narrow escape from being wrecked south of Mena Thursday afternoon as a result of thoughtless boys placing an obstruc- tion on the rails. An investigation of the trouble resulted in Harvey Thomas and Bill Gregg, two Mena youths, be- ing taken before the juvenile court for a hearing Friday afternoon. It is said that piece of iron was placed be- tween rail joints at a point south of Mena, and though the train passed over it safely, trainmen consider it almost a miracle the cars and engine were not ditched. Had the obstruction been on curve instead of on straight track they are certain a wreck would have followed. The enginemen. after passing the obstruction, thought a broken rail had been encountered, and so reported. The investigation which followed resulted in finding what the boys had done.
