plant Garden stuff Now.

Listen, Farmers, our peach crop, and early apple crop are practically killed by the late freeze and the black berry and strawberry crop will be cut to 50 per cent. Now perhaps the freezing weather is over and let every farmer plant lot of vegetables. This freeze is all over the southern states and we must have something to eat. Plant more garden stuff. We want more radishes, more onions, more peas, more beans, tomatoes, cabbage, sweet potatoes, cantaloupes, sorghum cane. The Cove Truck Association IS having more calls for all kinds of veg etables and truck than our contracts will supply. We have the market for all your truck. Now it is up to the farmer to plant more stuff. Why not have your land make you $lOO to $500 an acre. If you can't get seed order peanuts. Plant one or three acres of sweet corn. Sell it to the Cove Truck Growers Association for roasting ears. It will bring you $50 to S100 per acre and the fodder makes fine COW feed for winter. Plant more sweet potatoes and sorghum. This brings the farmer $150 to $400 per acre. We have got the best climate and the soil that is adapted for to produce the finest favored stuff in any states and with our connection with the best markets puts us in posi- tion to get the farmers the best price for his produce. Get a farm in Polk county. Read the Mena Star and en- saxy 1ifa

Read the list of candidates in the Mena Star. Are they the kind of men you want to represent you in Polk county? Are they seeking the office for the glory there is in the office or are they seeking the office to help their fellow man? I am in favor of the office seeking the man, not the man the office. Let the people an- nounce the man they want for the of flee, and we will get better men and have a better government. We have just as good blood in Polk county as any other county and men that are we'll qualified for office and let the people bring them out Let the people rule.

 What Cove needs now badly is a shoe and harness shop. A dandy opening for a business of this kind. Our agricultural interests are devel- oping so fast that Cove will be a dandy place for a good hardware store, and we need another doctor badly. Our present doctor, T. B Young, we could not ask for better man, but he is overtaxed with busi- ness. We have 2,500 people that are accessible to Cove and no one doctor can reach all these people, so Cove needs another good doctor.

MUCH RELIEF WORK
 DONE BY JEWS
Report of Zionist Organization Tells
 of Aid Given Jewish Sufferers.

Report Of Zionist Drganlzatl0n Tells
 of Aid Given Jewish Sufferers.
 International News Service Stan
 Correspondent.
 London, April 2.-What the Jews have done for each other during the war is shown in report issued by the Zionist organization announcing the closing of the office of the society at Copenhagen. The office was opened early in the war. and 1t has been closed recently because it is felt that now peace has been made-or win be made-with Soviet Russia, there is no necessity for keeping the office open.
 The record of the office is history of the efforts of the society to render aid to Jews cut off from one another. Correspondence was maintained with Jewish war prisoners in different Countries, missing people were traced and lists published, over quarter of a million letters were received and forwarded and relier was distributed to needy ceses.
 Much of the relief given was sent to Palestine and 1t was mainly in the form of gold. This was done at the time when the rapid depreciation of the Turkish paper currency threaten ed to bring about a catastrophe.
 
 Protests to the Powers were made from the Copenhagen office regard ing the treatment of persecuted Jews in Eastern Europe and relief was or Eanized for their assistance. As a result of the negotiations the commit tee was enabled to establish the Com mittee' of Jewish Delegations to the Paris Peace Conference and the repre- sentations made by this body to the Powers tended to mitigate the suffer sngs of Jews in the war areas.
 A manifesto was issued from Copen- hagen in October, 1918, setting out the demands for the establishment of the Jewish National Home in Palestine and the granting of equal rights to Jews everywhere. The Zionist Move ment attributes great deal of the present attitude of the Powers to the Jews-to the work of the Copenhagen committee and expressed 1t in s note sent out to it's members notifying then, of the closing of the Danish office.

Good Roads and Cove.

Hear the people talk about the good roads that lead to Cove. Farm CTS are taking an interest in trying to build good roads. Notice the pro gressive farmer as you pass his home, how he has rebuilt his fence. Cut out the fence row-no more sassafras sprouts, dog wood trees or blackberry bushes grow along the progressive farmers fence. See how much new land he is putting in to cultivation this year. Notice his fine hogs, better grade of cattle and better horses and mules, better homes and better barns. Ok. Ok. Polk elk county is getting better all the time. No better place to live than in Cove.

THE BONDED WAREHOUSE

THE BONDED WARE HOUSE
 The soliciting for the bonded ware house is progressing nicely. Most all good farmers and merchants who are interested in building up our town and community are subscribing for stock. Let every man get his name down this week and say how much stock he will take in this bond ed warehouse. We must have $3,000 capital This is bonded concern. Farmers take no risk and you are sure of 10 per cent on your money. Safer than a store or a bank for an investment Besides it is boost for your town and county. Makes your farm worth more money and brings in a hustling class of farmers. Stock only $500 per share.

the far east where he was one of the
many thousands of Baptists attend

in behalf of the various candidates

gun to pick already.
