 "Leggy Jim" Smith Announces For
 Prcs;den, cf Possum Club.
 Mena, Route |. Oct, 16. 1920.s To All Members in Good Standing of Polk County Possum Club.
 Gentlemen:--I am a candidate for president of this honorable club, and in support of my claims to this office, beg to say:
 I was one of the original promo ters of this popular organization, and have given it hearty support from thes beginning. It has done much to crystalline friendly relations among our people, and has done more to put our county lon the map than any other one thing.
 I believe in rotation in office, and one man should not hold this office for life. The present incumbent has swelled up and feels his importance to the extent that he deserves defeat. The present vice can make very good speech, but has not the ability to preside, as is required of thu presi- dent of this great club.
 I can do any and all things well that may, be demanded of me should l be elected.
 I live in the county and am the on ly member of the club who owns his possum dogs I am prepared to fur nish possum at any and all times.
 I also will say in conclusion, that favor woman for vice president, and as soon as women are given all privi- leges to hold office and vote, shall favor woman for president alter nately with man.
 l shall favor any favors shown in the contest.
 Yours for success of the order.
 J. F. (Leggy Jim) Smith.

MAKES SORGHUM AND FORAGE. The Golden Rule Farm Finds New
 Plan Profitable.

The editor of The Stars accompan- iea by Secretary Smith of the Com mefcial Club, paid visit Thursday to the Golden Rule farm, place be- coming quite noted here and else where for producing fine cattle, hogs and poultry. and probably will soon hold an equally good reputation TOT it's particular brand of sorghum, made from seeded ribbon cane.
 The interesting feature, however is that this is the second season that a good sized silo is being filled by the cane stalks. leaves and seed after the iuice that goes into the sorghum has been pressed out. The system of handling also is interesting.
 The cane, in big wagon loads, IS hauled in from the field and put on pIatform. From this it is fed into the mill, or rolls, and the juice flows in A steady stream into small vat. From this it flows thru strainer and into another receptacle, from which, as fast as it can be used, it is let into the evaporating pans and converted into the golden tinted delicacy that nas given Polk county fame.
 So much for the juice: FAs tiis stalks pass thru the rolls the pomace without further handling, goes direct to the cutter and. chopped into bits, is carried up and into the silo. A climb up the ladder and look down. ward reveals a husky youngster and three big fat Angora goats, the lat ter milling round and round, their small hoofs backed by we'll more than one hundred pounds of meat and bone, packing the future feed better than an equal number of men could do. It all looks like efficiency, and it is efii- ciency-the kind that pays.
 The work was being presided over by the owners of the Golden Rule farm, MT. and Mrs. F. J. Greiner, and Thursday, at least, the making of the sorghum was being carried on with the able assistance of Mrs. J. l.. Mat tingly, whose only complaint was that the yellow jackets were such hui sance, she having been twice stung by the hot-tailed insects that insisted in getting in the way in seeking to share the sweets.
 Mir. and Mrs. Greiner have about six acres of cane and expect nearly COG gallons of sorghum and good many tons of the most, excellent for age for their cattle during the coming winter.

WRECK IN MENA YARDS.
Freight Engine Struck Tank Car
 Damage Slight.

An unusual wreck occurred in the Mena yards of the Kansas City South ern shortly after. 9 o'clock Monday morning. Freight No 56, northbound. was standing on the main line near the new roadmaster's new office, awaiting orders when extra freight No 55b pulled in on the siding. The engine of the extra struck a tank car in No. 56 causing the rear trucks of the tanker 70 leave the rails and doing slight damage to the pilot of the engine. The collision occurred where the rails are curved and the force was so great one curved an the force was sa great one of the heavy steel rails was snapped m two. The damaged car was put back on the tracks again and traffic diverted from the main line until the broken rail could be replaced.

PROFIT FROM SMALL ACREAGE. How J. E. Chambers Handles Crops
 Satisfactorily.

J. E. Chambers, long well and widely-known citizen of Polk county, owns nice little home in Halls ad- dition to Mena. It comprises house, barn, and necessary outbuildings, one of these recently completed curing and store house for sweet potatoes. The entire place, building sites and all, comprises just 10 acres.
 tiIiiuIiE tue crops planted this year by MT. Chambers was about A acre to sweet potatoes, Nancy Halls and Porto Ricos. This crop has been har- vested and stored in his own curing house, and totalled 90 bushels of fine potatoes. He. estimated that the yield equals 400 bushels to fl e acre. He finds the Porto Ricos made the best yield and will plant only that variety next year. The store house. by the way, was started early last spring. and most of the work done by MT. Chambers, himself. It is 12x14 feet in size, with concrete floor and double sawdust lined walls.
 MT. Chambers uses barnyard man ure freely and some commercial fer tilizer, and to this and good soil preparation and cultivation ascribes his good crops.
 Earlier in the season he sold S340 worth of Irish potatoes, received $115 for watermeleps and S25 or more for tomatoes and garden truck. He has I22 acres planted to cotton, has picked and sold Aone bale and will have another to pick ssnd market.
 All-in-all, Mir. Chambers is we'll pleased with his seasons work and with farming small acreage.
