LARGEST GERMAN SEAPORT UNDER
 FOREIGN C0L0RS
Shipping Companies of All Nations But Germany in
 Control at Hamburg.

HAMBURG, Aug. 21.-In one day last week 22 steamers passed Cux- haven on the way to Hamburg or to enter the Kiel Canal. This was the largest number of ships to come into Elbe in A hours since the early days of the war. The event was hailed with intense satisfaction here as a sign of better times. Five years ago it was a dull day when only q score of vessels arrived. The Ham burg American Line alone usually had from % to 30 big ships in port and the harbor was so crowded with shipping that the problem of dock | ing often became acute.
 In those days, few flags other than those of the German companies were seen in the harbor Today, Hamburg is literally under foreign colors | Shipping companies of all the prin cipal nations have set up offices here and the formerly powerful Ger
 man lines, having lost their ships, are acting now only as agents. Am
 erican. British, Japanese, French. Spanish, Dutch and Brazilian com panies display their advertisements. in the shipping papers, Advertise ments of German concerns are so| few that one must search for them.
 Warehouses Empty
 There is some life. again in the harbor, but the ships are nearly all foreign. One passes 0long rows off splendidly equipped decks, and ware houses, once a hive of industry, but now empty and still. In the absence of the many ships that used to make Hamburg a thriving commercial cen ter, trade has died away and the great market places on the water front are practically deserted. Be- fore the war, Hamburg had become one of Europe's chief coffee markets. | Now, only a few sacks of that staple | find their way here.
 While Hamburg was losing it's | glory as port, death was taking a heavy toll of the so-called royal heads" of the big German compan- ies, including Albert Ballin, Presi- | dent of the Hamburg-American Line | and the brothers Adolph and Edward Woermann, who guided the affairs | of the great Woermann Indian and African Lines Africa House." the ! scene of their labors, was the nerve center of Germany's vast colonial | trade. It stands today silent mem | )rial of German Imperialism.
 Prestige Now Gone
 It is realized that Hamburg faces | l long uphill struggle to regain its l 9re-war prestige. A well known | banker told the correspondent that | he believed Hamburg had irretriev- lbly lost it's financial power and would never again enjoy the inde | pendent position it had in the past. |
 Germany" he said, "is more close | " united today than ever before | This means that Hamburg must work | not only for itself but for all of Germany as we'll Until the country | as a whole begins to get back on 'ts feet, Hamburg's progress toward recovery must be slow"
 At the moment, unemployment Is | grave problem here. Between 30,- | 100 and 35000 workers are unem 1loyed and Hamburg is spending more than 1.000,000 marks week ir lonations to them. Labor here is generally discontented and strikes Ire frequent.

WOMAN VOTER SPEAKS UP.

Editor Mena Star, Mena, Ark.
Dear Sir: see in last weeks issue
Of The Mena Star where w. E. Ander-
son has answered w. B. Anderson's
article on the results of the Demo
cratic primary. w. f. states that the
majority of the Democratic nominees
lived outside of Mena when they were
first elected to an Office. He also
gives names of former places of resi-
dence of number of them before be-
ing elected. He says the place they
lived did not fit them to fill the Office
to which they were elected. We will
agree with Mr.. Anderson on that. and
in our honest opinion some of them
are not any more fit for officers since
moving to Mena. In fact, we think
the move has made them worse if pos
sible. | notice tho w. Z. fails to give
his former place of residence. /
guess he is one of the Mena Ring. for
he seems to have soft corn on his
toe where one says anything about
the price of county scrip. or ANYTHING
concerning his humble servant. Judge
Finger. Now Mr.. Anderson. has Judge
Aitct any oulNldt flSHL 10 paw
monthly pension to woman with
stout, healthy young man where she
has no divorce, just because he won't
support her and his three children? /
want to know the law on that point,
Tor that is Just what Judge Finger
has done.
Now, Mr.. Anderson, you are 50 sure
we citizens are trying to stir up pre-
JUDGE against you town folks. Do
you not know who started the cause
OF the Citizen movement? Did the
town folks or the country folks start
the STIR Please answer.
Your article in The Star in answer
to w. B. Anderson, criticising the
Citizens movement, reminds me of
two school boys, one always ready To
pick a row and then when he thought
ne was outdone try 70 lay it 10 the
charge Of his schoolmates. You seem
10 think the town folks SO much So
perier to the: country folks that the
greenhorns IN the country win stoop

EYE OPENERS.

Leaving Hatfield, Polk county, Ark,
August %, Sure, or as Pearlmutter
would say, been stuck for the increas-
ed passenger fares, our first eye open
err was the jam of passengers in all
the coaches, and this kept growing
worse as we neared Kansas City. Our
next eye opener was the. new depot at
Mena. While Hatfield and perhaps
several other towns in Polk county are
in need of the same improvements,
no one begrudges Mena this, and as
every citizen in Polk county has fin
ancial interest in this city, being the
county seat nearly every one will en-
joy the benefit and convenience of
this structure, and it is benefit to
the whole county. Next, we saw miles
and miles of cotton and corn-some
extra good, some not so good, but
mostly good. Leaving the cotton belt
we find more and more corn, hundreds
of miles of corn, and as far as the eye
can reach. Never, perhaps, was
there such universal crop with such
large acreage. All the corn states
have jungles of corn.
Our attention was next attracted
fering sugar at II cents. At this
date Omaha retailers are offering
Southern cane sugar, either by the
sack or pound, at something over lac.
Being something like 500 miles nearer
the source of supply, it must be get
ting back to something like war time
prices in Polk county.
Coming to the Union Pacific Rail-
road, our attention is attracted by the
heavy trains, some in two sections,
with standing room only, filled with
vacationists and others trying to get
home, or at least to be on the train
before midnight Of the 25th. Unfor-
tunately for some three of the trains
were two hours late as midnight APP
preached. Even four-year-old Char
lie Rork was imprest by the heavy
train. He said: Il bet this train is
hard to crank"
And potatoesl Never again spuds
after last winter prices. Here at
kearney, 200 miles west Of Omaha,
are hundreds Of acres, with growers
busy digging for the past two or three
weeks. Markets are slow, many carlot
shipments going to Kansas City.
Close grading leaves many bushels
on the field; occasionally as high as
SO bushels have been left. These in
clude all with any knots, misshapen
or cut, or any sign of scab. These are
given freely to any caring to pick
them. Farmers sometimes are seen
gathering huge loads for hog feed.
and there is quite an industry among
boys and peddlers who gather the best
and sell around town, receiving from
40 to go cents bushel, according to
quality-and their nerve. Some gro
GERS are offering nice ungraded at 75c
bushel, delivered. Hattie.

The price of news print paper has
again been raised by the trust. This
was done notwithstanding Congress
reduced or abolished the tariff upon
wood pulp, (from which news print is
made) imported from Canada. On
account of the increased cost Of print
paper, and the high cost of labor,
many newspapers have suspended
publication during past two years
In another place appears an article
from the Rochester, n. ", Herald,
telling Of the death Of two old daily
papers, and in commenting thereon
it very correctly states that many
communities neglect their newspapers
BY failing to give them proper sup
port. A newspaper does more for the
public good than any other one agen-
cv mt excpntinp any. AS our read
ers know The Star is not given to
boasting, but it is only justice to
state that this paper has been con-
Quoted conservatively at all times. 1t
has given good service, and has not
raised it's prices in proportion to the
cost of its material and labor. The
paper tries to get all the news of its
city and county, and as much general
news as possible. 1t stands for pro-
gress and prosperity at all times.

APpREcIATEs JUDGE FINGER.

Judge II. w. Finger is in receipt Of
the following letter, of which he may
well be proud. And The Star may
add that the fathers and mothers with
boys and girls who sometimes, in their
youthfulness, make missteps, should
congratulate themselves on having a
man with heart that always re-
spends to the suffering of others, at
the head Of the juvenile court.
But here's the letter. 1t tells its
own story:
.Judge H. w. Finger, County Judge,
Mena, Arkansas.
sDear Judge Finger: ! was so glad
10 receive your fetter of August 26 in
regard to VERNE Byrd. 1t is a splen-
did thing for the State of Arkansas to
have a man at the head of the juvenile
courts of the county who has real
social vision and the welfare Of his
charges at heart. Your attitude to-
wards the institution has been splen-
lid.
$50 few of the outlying county
Judges seem to recognize the work
that the Boys Industrial School is try
ing to do. 1t is not a prison. Our
sole object in holding the boys is for
correctional purposes and when we are
able to have them long enough to
change their habits, and to get them
to thinking straight and give them
the proper food and the right kind of
environment and normal recreation
we seldom fail to send back to the
community better boy, who with
proper supervision will make good
citizen. Thanking you for your con-
sideration and interest, am,
ssYonrs most sincerely,
Elizabeth Nj. Speer,
"Parole Officer and Secretary of
the Commission of Charities
and Correction.
.sP. S.-Vernie's name is on the pa
role list and comes before the Board
at its next meeting"
The Mena weekly star., 1920-09-16
Telling the Circumstances.

The above article very strongly IN
Inmates that Judge Finger is misus-
ing the peoples money in carrying
woman on the mothers pension list.
The Star, thru a representative, TOOK
mains to get details, and here they are.
Sheriff J. A. Thornton received
letter from Mrs. Nora Stansell, saying
she had been deserted by her husband
and asking that he come and get her
and her three children and place them
in the poor farm. The matter was re-
ferred to Judge Finger, who decided to
investigate. He went to Opal on the
mail hack, secured the aid of Rastus
Stephens in finding the people.
The woman is daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Burkhart. and on reaching the
home Judge Finger found the mother
and children in the peafield picking
peas. He was-informed that the hus-
band had quit the mother and chill
dren, and his whereabouts were UNI
known, and even if found was no
manner of account. The deserted ones
had nothing-were destitute. The
parents were willing to divide with
the daughter and children as long as
they had anything, but owed $500 on
their place and were old and had no
means by which they could clothe,
feed and properly educate the children.
Considering the circumstances,
Judge Finger concluded that it was
better to place Mrs. Stansell on the
mothers pension roll at $40 a month
and permit her, with the children, to
remain in the care of her parents,
than to put the; family in the poor
farm at cost Of $52 per month to the
taxpayers.
The Star is informed that this en-
tire statement can be backed by affi-
davits if such should be desired.

In the state Democratic primary
election Congressman 7. C. Nc
Rae was nominated for governor by a
plurality of over eight thousand votes,
according to latest reports. Secre-
tary Of State Terral was second in the
race, leading his nearest competitor,
Smead Powell. by over a thousand
votes. The Democratic convention
viii soon meet to canvass the full re-
turns. The nomination Of McRae
shows that our people are waking up
to the Importance Of placing in Office
statesmen of real ability as well as
probity Of character. That is well.

Both candidates for presiden (of
the two great political parties) are
making daily speeches, appealing for
support in the November presidential
election. They are now in the middle
western states. Senator Harding, the
Republican candidate. has partially
abandoned his front porch campaign,
having spoken at the Minnesota fair
grounds Tuesday. Governor Cox, the
Democratic candidate, is campaigning
now in the Dakotas. Nobody can pre-
dict what effect woman suffrage will
have upon the election.

III 7 sie amount sff prohtseTiHg that has
been carried on in this country for
many months past, and that is still
going on, is a disgrace to an enlight-
ened country like ours. Congress has
failed in its duty, by not enacting
laws to stop it. and Attorney General
Palmer has made a mess of it, not
even trying to enforce the weak laws
we have against it. 1t is to be hoped
something will be done to stop prof.
teering.
The Mena weekly star., 1920-09-16

Why can not some of Americas
brainy statesmen do something to
make our liberty bonds worth par?
1t seems a travesty upon justice to
allow the nations credit to be thus
scredited-bonds selling upon the
market from fifteen to eighteen per
cent under par. Congress should see
20 it that our credit is no longer dam
aged by bonds being sold under par.

Joe Bailey was defeated in his race
for the govcrnorship of Texas. The
fact that he fought national Democ-
racy is given as the principal reason
for his defeat. He is a very brainy
man, and one of the ablest lawyers in
this country, but it appears that he
has been a failure as politician.
