indianapolis man suffered from rheu-

Dreco gave him prompt relief and
he now claims 1t to be the best
medicine In the world.

Mr.. Geo. W. Matthews, who lives at

Is still empIoyed) as brakeman In 1888,
before air brakes were invented.
For some time I've suffered from
rheumatism Of the Joints and muscles. I
could not bend over except with great
pain and my Joints would snap and pop
with any quick movement" said Mr.
Matthew'S Ny bdneys troubled me a
great deal and I frequently had to get
up during the night, my back Ached al
most constantly.
Thy bowels were SO badly constipsted
that I had to take some kind Of medt-
cine all the time my nerves were on edge
90 that I hardly know what night Of
sound refreshing sleep was like.
zone bottle Of Dreco has brought
about q great change In me. The rheu-
matte pains are cones never have a
backzchei can stoop and bend over Ike
I was q boy again. my sleep Is sound
and I rise Of mornings feeling full of
vim and vigor. Dreco did for me what
other medicines Jailed to do and I gladly
praise It."

different roots, herbs, barks and leaves.
These act on the stomach, bowels and

knocks rheumatism out shortly; relieves

you sleep soundly and creates good
appetite. As a blood purifier nothing
can equal Dreco. It puts stop to boils,

Margarita Fisher as a vamp.
That is what you viii see at the Al

This is one of Cosmo Hamilton's
stories, and has an unusual and accord
ing to some, an embarrassing situation.
Maragarita has to play the vamp as
Vera Middleton, a young, vivacious So
-eiety girl, who is bored by the con-
ventional life of her family.
Milton SiIls is her leading man, and
his acting does a lot to make the pic
ture success.
In fact, in our opinion. sflIs should
be the star of this production, as his
work is the best of all the members Of
the cast.
Miss Fisher gives a bit of life TO the
story as she has quite a bit of action,
but is hardly capable Of leading Mr.. Sills
In a play of this kind.
There is not a great deal Of action in
the play, as it deals more with motives
and resolutions than with deeds.
Opinion-The value Of this play rests
almost entirely in the story and the
acting of Mr.. Sills.

MEXICAN OIL FIELDS FLOODED.
Heavy Damage to Producers .on Low.
er Gulf Coast

Tampico, Mexico. June SO.-AIl of
the lower gulf coast, including several
of the larger producing oil fields, have
been swept during the last several
days by the worst flood ever known
In that region. American and British
oil interests have suffered heavy dam
ages. Stretches OF pipeline have been
washed away and oil pumping plants
flooded. All the rivers of the lower
country are at high flood stage. The
Panuco River rose thirty feet, inundat-
ing wide stretches of the valley and
sweeping away many frail homes of
the natives.
The Mexican Gulf Oil Company re-
ports that all bridges between Tepe-
tate and Los Narajanos have been
washed away and that the water was
four feet deep on the floor of their
warehouse at Nancy All floatable
material including a large supply of
lumber, was swept away. Men have
been sent in search of this material.
Nothing can be moved in this section
except by railroad and muleback The
most serious loss to the oil companies
is not in material nor property dam
age, but the loss of time In moving
materials.

AMERICA FACES
FOOD SHORTAGE
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith. a
Candidate for President. Says the
Cities Are Close TO Starvation
Line-The Remedy.

San Francisco, July 6.-America is
in serious danger of food shortage.
The nation is short some 100000
laborers as the result of the war and
the demand for manufactured goods.
Hundreds of thousands of acres are
not being planted, because the farm
ers cannot compete with the cities
for labor at the prevailing prices of
produce.
The farms of the nation are run
ming about 72 per cent normal because
OF the farm labor shortage.
Not only is there a 30 per cent
shortage in the supply of hired farm
labor but work is behind because of
the late spring.
Warning StartIes Business Men.
These are the solemn facts pre-
sented by the best informed man in
the United States today, Secretary of
Agriculture e. T. Meredith, publisher
of farm journals and a deep student
OF economic problems relating to pro.
duction.
Secretary Meredith came to Cali
fornia in connection with his candi-
daey for president, but his plain talks
before big groups of business men
here have made profound impression
regardless of any political signifi-
cance.
what can we do to help the farm
err, asked the big manufacturers
realizing that net only their prosperi'
ty but the nations soundness depends
on the farmers ability to produce.
Cities Close to Starvation Line.
Here in brief is Secretary Mere
dith's answer:
First. Help the department of agri
culture. Congress curtailed our work
s2,000,000 this year. in spite of ouI
savings amounting to millions in ami
NAL diseases, new methods, and re
search.
Second Reduce the demands fol
the products of city labor, so the
farmer can have the labor. 1t is better
to wear out our old clothes than be
short of food next winter or the win
ter following.
Third. Help reduce the cost of dis
tribution. If six men out of every ter
are busy distributing what the othel
four produce then each of the ten car
only have four-tenths of what eacl
produces. This applies to the 10000,
900 people in the United States and 1
means that it's every mans business
to see that there be no drones in hi
hive, and that as many as possible bt
put to producing.
"The cities outside the packing cen
ters have enough meat in their limits
for perhaps four days, flour for a few
weeks, and fruit and vegetables fol
one day You can see how vitally tbs
welfare of the farmer affects the cit,
+, dweller, and how soon a shortage o.
production on the farm will begin t
pinch the pot in the kitchen"

.HEAVENER TAKES
GAME FROM MfNA
Lefty" Phillips Pitched Winning
Ball, His Team Mates Batted Well,
but Errors Lost the Game-TO
Mena Tuesday Next.

Though Lefty Phillips pitched a
fine game of ball Heavener defeated
the Mena Travellers by score of 4
TO at Heavener Tuesday afternoon.
This was the third game of the series,
the fourth being played today.
Lack of support by his team mates
robbed Lefty" Of a deserved victory.
He is credited with tanning twelve
of the slugging Blues and holding
them to a well scattered seven hits.
An error by Hughes in the last half of
the ninth let the winning run come
homo.
The Travellers batted Shepherd hard
and their total of 10 hits would have
bad luck at the finish. Fans who saw
the game are agreed that Phillips de-
served the victory.
The fourth and last game of the
series was scheduled for Wednesday
afternoon. Tucker was slated to pitch
for Mena and the fans have little fear
but that he will win again, making
the result of the series even as re-
CARDS games won.
Next Tuesday the Heayener team
comes to Mena for four game series.
These games will undoubtedly be the
best seen in Mena this year. The rival
ny between Mena and Heavener for
baseball honors is so keen that both
teams will strive to their utmost to
win. The games between the two ci-
ties have attracted much attention
among sport lovers in this section and
it is certain that big crowds will at
tend the contests, many persons CON-
ing from distant points.

TO MAKE PAPER FROM COTTON
Cheaper Than Wood Pulp. Dallas,
Tex, Promoters Say.

Dallas, Tex, July 4.-Successful
experiments in the manufacture of
pulp and paper from cotton linters has
led to steps being taken here toward
the construction of a paper mill to
cost approximately $800,000 The
proposed company will have capital
of / million dollars and will be in
corporated under the name of the Trim
ity Paper Mills. 1t is planned to have
the pulp mill finished within six
months and to have the paper manu-
featuring plant in operation in about
ten months. The mill will begin with
a capacity of twenty tons of paper a
day. Book, writing and tissue paper
win be made.
Second cut linters can be purchased
more cheaply than wood pulp and the
paper can be made more cheaply, ac-
cording to figures compiled. To make
one ton of wood pulp paper requires
two cords of wood selling at S36 a
ton, while to make ton Of lint paper
requires $500 pounds Of second cut
lint, selling at 2 cents a pound. II is
also claimed that the cost Of handling
the linters is less than of handling
wood.

LEAGUE: IS FLAYED
BY SENATOR REED
Says He Refused Convention Seat at
Price of Silence on This Issue
Gets Great Ovation in His
Home Town.

Kansas City, July 5.--United States
Senator James A. Reed, returning
here today from San Francisco, where
he was refused seat in the Demo-
cratic national convention as delegate
from this congressional district, de-
clared in an address that the League
Of Nations was "a league Of treason
and a covenant of national death"
Senator Reed, whose address was
delivered at mass meeting. said he
was privateiy assured ''by grapevine
messages" while his case was being
heard that the Credentials Committee
of the convention would seat him if
he would agree to keep silent in re-
gard to the League of Nations on the
convention floor. His refusal to make
such an agreement was responsible for
his being denied a seat, he said.
IF there is one lesson that this
country needs to learn" Senator Reed
said in his speech, sit is that this is
not one-man country, it is a ITO, ,000,-
000-man country. If you would keep
this republic safe you must do your
own thinking. You, the people, are
the source of all power. The sooner
you exercise it, the better it will be
for you and for the country"
Denounces Convention.
Senator Reed denounced the Demo-
cratic convention at San Francisco as
convention afflicted with interna-
tional blind staggers."
Without direct personal reference
to any one, the senator declared that
there was little difference between the
doctrine of the divine right of kings
/ land the modern doctrine that man
elected to Office becomes thereby a
leader and that all who differ with
him are excommunicate and outcast.s
Robert Lansing, ex-secretary of
state, he described as the only man
whom the president took to France
with him who knew anything about
international law. land about the only
one who had ordinary common sense" "
and he asserted that Lansing's remov-
al from Office was the result of s'his
insistence upon warning the people
of the true meaning of this league
with treason, this covenant Of nation
al death"
Senator Reed declared that '.this
information in regard to what the
league really means is going to the
people. and they shall know the
truth"
Reed was received with enthusiasm,
and resolution passed by rising
vote, denouncings action of the
Democratic national convention Gin
denying representation to this COM
munity in refusing to seat Senator
Reed" and endorsing the senator's
stand was wired to the Democratic
convention.

was nominated for vice president to-
day by the Democratic National Con-
vention, and became the running mate
of Governor James M. Cox of Ohio,
the Democratic choice for the presi-
deney.
The first cries of "Cox and Roose-
welt" rang thru the convention hall,
and were mixed with the shouts of
the vote of acclamation. by which
Roosevelt was nominated without q
ballot.
Despite the disinclination of the
Tammany organization to accept him,
Roosevelts name went over with a
band-wagon movement during which
all other candidates were withdrawn.
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois
was withdrawn by former Governor
Dunno; Governor Stewart of Mon
tana, announced his own withdrawal;
Edward l.. Doheny of California and
former Governor Hawley of Idaho
were withdrawn and Major General L.

didate and refused to allow his name
to be used, finally was urged to con-
sent IL he should be drafted" II
so happened that the Tammany
crowd decided to accept Roosevelt,
who brought to the ticket the par
ticipation of an administration man,
and Mr.. Co.oy's name was not con-
sidered further.
Mr.. Roosevelt was placed in NOM
ination by Timothy l.. Ansbury, a

Two Youths Made Mistake and VIII
Go to Reform School.

Johnny Yahn and Jimmy Diehl, two
youths who live west of Mena, sought
to break the home ties and follow
Greely's advice about going west and
growing up with the country Unfor-
tunately they took horses they didn't
own to make the trip and as a result
were placed in the county jail TO await
a trip to the state reform school at
Little Rock. The boys we're captured
near Eagleton Saturday night and
turned over to Sheriff Thornton. The
horses the boys had taken belonged to
their fathers. Both boys have pre-
viously been before the juvenile court

escapade resulted in Judge Finger or
