not trying to compete with the Amer

among the powers.
"Vice Admiral Kato's declaration"

MEXICO CITY. April S.-Conges-
a critical stage and commercial and
Industrial interests of the country
have appealed to the government to
take extraordinary steps to relieve
the situation. At Vera Cruz. Tam
pico, Puerto Mexico and in cities
along the United States frontier
thousands of tons of merchandise have
been lying for months. the railroads
being unable to move these goods to
their destinations.
In addition to the economic phase
presented by the railroad conges-
tion, travelling in Mexico is at present
tedious. passenger trains running
from one to two days late. The lack
OF engines is said to be the cause of
this inconvenience, the few locomo-
tives at present available being in
continuous operation.
President Obregon declared yester-
day that imports to Mexico had in
crease 200 per cent in the past three
months and that additional railroad
rolling stock had not been acquired
to a proportionate degree. He as
serted every effort was being made
to purchase or rent rolling stock and
engines. and that probably within a
week an approximation OF normal
schedules will be attained"
Adolphe de La Huerta. secretary of
the treasury, told newspaper men yes
terday that the government did not
purpose to spend the 100000 pesos
now in the national treasury for roll
ing stock, inaSmuch as ''other means
to solve our difficulties will he found"
The secretary denied reports that GER
tain Irregularities in the customs sys-
tenn which had recently been discov-
cred had caused the congestion at

DOLLAR DAY
 TO BE A WINNER
Business Men Cooperate With Com mercial Club in Making the Event Real Bargain Day--The
 Plan and Prizes.

The responses given the Commer- eial Clubs Dollar Day program has been all that could be expected, very few of the business firms declining to enter into the Dollar Day Those in charge of the work tried to see every business house, and give all a chance to enter, but the time was limited, and a second call could not be made on those who were out the first time.
 The plan, in short, IS that with each dollar purchase made Saturday, between the hours of a. m. and 3.l5 D. m.. a numbered ticket will he given to the customer by the merchant, and a duplicate of this retained by him. These duplicates will be gathered at 3:15 Saturday afternoon, taken to the Mena Commercial Club, thoroly mixed, and a number drawn. The person holding the first correspond ing number will receive $l0. Three additional numbers will be given, and to each of these $5 will be given. In addition to the above prizes, the solicitors met with q welcome offer from Manager McCary of the Mena Buttling Company, that 1 additional numbers be drawn, each of the hold CTS of these to receive a full case of sodawater.
 All in all. Dollar Day promises to be one of the big days in Mena. Mer- chants are offering attractive bar gains on that day, will decorate their windows, and otherwise carry out the spirit of the day. The townpeople are, of course, eligible to the prizes, and tickets will be given to all who make purchases Saturday from mer- chants who have joined in the move ment. No limit is placed on the num- Der of tickets each merchant can give out, that being limited only by the amount of sales he has that day. Tickets are given with all purchases, not just Dollar articles. For ex ample, $25 suit will entitle the pur- chaser to 25 tickets on the drawing.
 If the movement proves successful, it is planned to hold the event once month, varying the prizes to be of- fered Manager Mccall of the Lyric has agreed to rent the theatre at any time, so that free movie tickets can be given with each dollar purchase at some future date.
 Get together boost Dollar Day. Watch for the double page advertise ment in the Mena Evening Star of Thursday, May 10, and the Weekly of the same date.
