rendering the right of the American
people to exercise its judgment and
its power In favor of justice and peace.
Pointing to its history and relying up
on its fundamental principles, we de-
clare that the Republican party has
the generous courage and constructive
ability to end executive usurpation
and restore constitutional govern
ment: to fulfill our world obligations
without sacrificing our national In
dependence; to raise the standard Of
education. health and general welfare;
to re-establish peace-tirne admins
tration and to substitute economy and
efficiency for extravaganza and chaos
to restore and maintain the national
credit; to reform unequal and burden
some taxes; to free business from ar
bitrary and unnecessary official con-
troll; 90 suppress disloyalty without
denial of Justice; to repeat the AFRO
CANT challenge of any class; and to
maintain a government for some of
the people. and finally to allay unrest,
suspicion and strife and to secure CO.
operation of all citizens in the solu-
ton of the complex problems of the
day to the end that our country, happy
and prosperous, proud of its past sure
of itself and its institutions, may look
forward with confidence to the flu
ture"

If THEY COULD ONLY BE GROWN
IN AMERICA.

Chicago, June 10.-Potato prices to
day reached the highest figures in
the history of the country. This was
reported by the Federal Bureau of
Markets after new potatoes had adj
vanced So per 100 pounds over yes
terdays figures and old potatoes had
moved up 10 to 75c.
AS is well known, the. United States
depends for its supply or potatoes
those of the variety called Irish-on
Timbuctoo,i Kamchatka, the Sanjak
or Novi-Bazar and other remote
places. The long distances this arti-
Gle of food must be carried and the
difficulties of transportation neces-
sarily makes the price high in this
country.
It's a great pity that the potato
has never been domesticated in Amer
lea. Think how plentiful potatoes
might be if they could be grown by
our farmers and stored and if mil
lions OF people with small spots OF
ground available could each have a
potato patch.
Possibly the potato will some day
lie introduced into the United States.
If scientists should ever find a way
to grow 1t in this country it seems
we could then hope always to have a
supply at normal prices and never
to know such thing as a potato
shortage. Arkansas Gazette.

John Combs Writes Again

The Star last week printed a com
munication from John Combs, treat
ing on more or less vital topics. Mr..
Combs comes back this week with an
ether, which. for lack of space, The
Star cannot we'll use in full. Mr..
Combs says he finds he was mistaken
about our state being as much as
$8,000,000 in debt That it is less. He
stands up for the Democratic party
as against the Republicans, and the
Citizens movement. He compliments
Polk county on its officials, and on
having more than ten thousand dol
lars in its treasury, despite false re-
ports put out to the effect that coun-
ty scrip was worth less than par.
John finds fault with some laws, and
thinks they should be repealed, men,
tioning specifically the Dog Tax Law,
which, he believes encourages wolves
that kill stock, and he thinks women
should not be forced to pay poll taxes
in order to vote-that this is bad
enough for men.

A NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM.

M. B. Legate and G. G. Lennard
have associated themselves in the real
estate loan and insurance business.
Mr.. Legate needs no introduction
to the citizens Of this community, hav-
ing been identified with the real es-
tate fraternity here for years.
Mr.. Lennard is live, wide-awake
man who came here recently from
Foreman, Little River county, Arkan-
sas, and has since been looking after
the interests of the Jefferson Stand
ard Life Insurance Co., of Greenboro,
N. c., in this vicinity. The real es-
tate business is no new thing to him,
however, he having been engaged in
this as well as insurance at Foreman
for the past three years.
The style of the new firm will be
Arkansas Land Loan and Investment
Company, with Offices over Pegram's
Drug store, and, from all indications
it promises to take a prominent place
in the business affairs of Mena and
Polk county.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT

While working in his office Tuesday
Dr. l.. o. Dickson was seriously in
jured by an explosion of a mould in
which he was melting gold fer inlay
work on an artificial tooth. 1t is
thought that moisture in the mould
caused the generation of steam, which
forced the molted mass into the dem
lists face. DR.. Dickson's right eye re-
ceived the brunt Of the explosion, and
while 1T is not believed the eyesight
will be injured he will be unable to
use the optic for several days. After
receiving first aid from DR.. Edwards
and Dr. t. M. Fletcher, DR.. Dickson
was taken to his home, where he is
resting until his painful hurts are al

sincere gratitude for the confidence
expressed in this wonderful man by
nominating him as the candidate OF
the party for the presidency.
We entered this campaign with
considerable reluctance. because Sen.
ator Harding did not desire to make a
high powered organization campaign
for the presidency. Our plan, as is
now we'll known. was carried out,
whereby we conducted rather a mod.
est campaign and left the election to
the Republicans of this country with
out too much pressure.
We have, throughout the campaign,
had the highest respect for opposition
candidates and for their supporters. At
no time have we made any attack up
on any candidate or upon any candi.
dates supporters, and Senator Hard.
ing will receive the support, no doubt
of every man and woman in the coun.
try who desires to vote the Republi-
can ticket. The ticket will be eleced
overwhelmingly in November"

Thursday morning that a hungry
thief had robbed the Kansas City
Southern depot at Cove the night pre-

food was evident from his action in

cans in the depot. An effort to break
