The discontinuance Of food control
will deprive English merchants Of
their main excuse for high prices. All
blame was laid on the Ministry of
Food, whose 1000 clerks and inspec-
tors were reproached for rhelr vigl-
lance in preventing sales below the
sripulated prices while doing nothing
to increase supply or stimulate transit
tion TO normal business.
IL was alleged that the bureau kept
wheat and bacon at an artificial level,
so per cent. higher than necessary,
thus offsetting the benefit of the de-
cline in some of the other essential
commodities. Bread, milk, eggs and
butter have remained up, while coal
has come down under the influence Of

A MENACE TO P. $. TRADE.
Hoover Says There Is Imperative
 Need of Protection.

Washington, May 5.--Declaring that several lines of trade already had been driven out by German competi- tors, Secretary Hoover told the House Ways and Means Committee yester- day that there was imperative need for protection of American industries against the inroads of revived German commerce.
 The commerce secretary told how optical glass makers of the United States had gone out of buisness "al- most entirely" in the two years since German manufacturers had again be- come active. He said also that in neu- trai markets German bids on steel were averaging SIP ton under Amer ican selling prices and that in many instances markets which had been wholly American lately were in con trol of the Germans
 "i believe American industries must have protection of a very large order, Mir Hoover said "There is no guess as to how long Germany can continue to grind out paper money and indi- rectiy subsidize her industries Mean while, however, those industries are striving to capture the markets of the world and are having a profound in- huence on American prices.

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY EGGS.
Harvard Youth Couldn't Eat Them in
 Any Food.

Cambridge, Mass, May 5.--The cause for the suicide of Barton Fay, Harvard Freshman, who was found dead at his home by his mother, is one of the strangest known.
 He was fully clothed and a few hours before had been in fine spirits. Albert E Fay, father of the boy, who came here today to get his sons col- lege belongings, explained the suicide of his son as follows:
 My sons mind was not wrecked by study It was brought about by the fact that he worried too much over his physical condition. His was a strange disease Anything the boy took which had the slightest touch of eggs in it instantly made him sick and also showed in his skin. This included ice cream. candy, cakes and other daint- ies.
 "They hardly passed his tongue when he became nauseated and was forced to leave the table. Thise dis tressed him very much at Harvard, where he dined with fellow Freshmen. Also, he was able to get little nourish- ment.
 "This sad condition of affairs preyed on my sons mind to such an extent that it finally drove him out of his senses

DUKE -NACRUDER'S
 BIC SPRING SALE
MAY 12TH TO 2sTH.

The big SPRING SALE opens at Duke-Magruder's on Thursday, May 12. Of course there will be others during the years 1921. but Messrs. Duke and Magruder state that it is their firm belief that there will never be one at which goods are going to be sacrificed to the same extent that they are offering their stock. But the story is best told in the words of the firm and of the manager of the Duke Ma agrudeT store.
 Manager Fred Duke says:
 "In justice to yourself and the fam ly do not overlook so glowing an op- portunity to save these good, round, generous dollars. To you sensible fathers, you economical mothers those with the res possibility of the upkeep of the home upon their hands, this message will be of vital import ance. Never before have | seen such A DARING PRICE DESTRUCTION. Everyone knows this grand old store has always kept prices at rock bottom and now my orders are to sell goods lower than they have ever been sold in any sale in this community. Our people have been good to us, now we will be good to them. That order goes. Read the prices. Every article advertised will be found exactly what we represent it to be, and with the Duke -Magrduder Company behind it.
 Duke Magruder's message to you:
 For more than twenty years this store has enjoyed your patronage, your confidence and trust. This store has always kept prices at rock bot tom. At this time when money is not so plentiful and when you want real values we have instructed our man. ager to sell regardless of cost-the cost mark has been thrown away and we are going to make prices that will MOVE THE GOODS. This store has always sold goods at lower prices than anyone and we shall carry out that policy in this great sale. Our losses will be terrific, but we will know that we have done our duty at the time when you need it, and our reward will come in the future patron age. Adv.

NEARING SCALE OF REAL WAR. Germans and Allies Arrayed Against
 100000 Poles.

Berlin, May 8.--A struggle that is nearing the magnitude of fullhedged war is raging in Upper Silesia tonight with allied troops and Germans ar rayed against the Poles. Nearly one hundred thousand Poles, heavily armed and supported by artillery and airplanes, have overrun practically all of Upper Silesia.
 Adelbert Korfanty, Polish commits sioner in Upper Silesia, has not only proclaimed Upper Silesia free state, but has formed a cabinet to direct the light of the Polish insurgents.
 The Italian plebiscite commander, General Martini, announced at Appeln that Italy has requested the allies to allow the use of the German reichs- wehr to combat the Poles. The Ital- ian troops in Upper Silesia have borne the brunt of the fighting on the allied side and have suffered more than one hundred casualties as well as losing their artillery to the Poles. It was reported from Cologne that the British were preparing to send re- endorsements of men and guns into Upper Silesia.
 According to information from Breslau, the French plebiscite troops have ceased their resistance against the Poles. This is attributed to the fact that Poland and France have a military alliance.
 Die Rote Fahne, organ of the com munists, says that the reichswehr has been mobilized and is only restrained from advancing into Upper Silesia for fear of the action that the allies may take in consequence.

INSTANT CHOICE
 DEATH OR SAFETY
Taking First Alternative Herbert Phelan Lived Only Long Enough to Know One of the Saved Was His
 Brother-Taxi Driver a Hero.

Chicago, May 8.-Herbert Phelan's big moment came-as big moments often do-wirh startling suddenness out of the days routine
 Fate called on Phelan to make his choice in the winking of an eye safety at the risk of others lives or almost certain death.
 He was driving his taxieab south in Lakeshore drive. Between him and the curb was a limousine. To his right was safety island. And, wheeling suddenly from side street, straight across the path, was another cab. Phelan could not stop. He had to ram the ear ahead or sidewipe the limousine, or wheel his own car into the safety island. The first and sec ond possibilities meant comparative safety for himself, with peril for oth- CTS. The third chance meant headon crash into the solid island"
 Phelan whirled his cab about almost at right angles and crashed straight into safety island The limousine shot ahead into the clear. And Phelan was pinned under the wreckage of his car.
 He was barely alive when the frightened driver of the second cab reached his side. He died few hours later at Columbus hospital.
 But he lived long enough to recog- nize the man whose life he had saved It was his brother, Harry.
 Harry Phelan told about it at the inquest today.

W|NCO SUCCEEDS
 IN DEFEATING BILL
Arkansas Objects to Granting Citizen ship to Emil Fischer of New York, an Ineligible Under
 the Law.

Washington, May 5.--A speech by Representative Wingo of Arkansas in the House today was held responsible for the defeat of a bill reported fav- orable by the House Immigration Committee and ostensibIy having the indorsement of Republican leaders. Mir. Wingo's speech resulted in full Democratic vote and sufficient votes from the Republican side to defeat the measure.
 The bill provided for the granting of American citizenship to Emil Fischer of New York Fischer took out first papers in 1901, but since that time has not lived five consecu- tive years in this country and was not entitled to naturalization under the law.
 Chairman Seigel of the Immigration Committee and author of the bill, said that Fischer was engaged to marry, but that the girl would not marry him unless he became an Amer ican citizen. That statement lost the vote of Miss Alice Robertson, woman member from Oklahoma, who after wards said the woman should emulate Ruth in the Bible and adopt as her attitude, "Whither thou goest, 1 will go."
 Mir. Wingo declared the passage of the bill would mean the enbarking on proposition that violates in spirit the constitution, and which would harass and embarrass every member of Congress. He voiced strenuous objection to granting naturalization as a special favor by special act of Congress in violation of specific in- hibition in the constitution.

E. I. ROACH TO BEYOND
Former Prominent Mena Citizen Suc- cumbs to Suffering of Years at
 St. Petersburg. Fla.

F. I. Roach, for years prominent citizen and business man of Mena and Polk county, passed away Tuesday morning at St. Petersburg, Fla. The information reached Mena in a tele- gram to M. A. Stratton, sent by Frank Roach, son of the deceased.
 Ed Roach, as he was best known, came to Mena in the very early days of the town. He was, out in Kansas, a sufferer from rheumatism, and Tn Mena for a number of years found relief from his worst physical enemy, but finally the old trouble got hold of him again, and he tried other climates, spending some years on the Isle of Pines, south of Cuba, but for year or two has been at St. Petersburg, on the west coast of Florida. During all these years he has suffered greatly but always was cheerful and never gave up the fight.
 Being of an energetic and aggres- sive nature, Mr Roach made himself felt in any community in which he resided. and had many warm friends in both business and social life. He was quite successful in business, and up to the time of being forced to give up his home and business here had ac- cumulated modest fortune, mostly in real estate holdings. He yet owns some properties in Mena, among others being the building now occupied by the Reynolds-Dav Wholesale Gro cery Company.
 Close personal friends knew, when Mir. Roach was last in Mena and was preparing to leave because of his health, that he would have felt no worse had be been under sentence to exile, for he loved Mena and Mena people next only to his own family and his life. and he knew then that he would never return during this life-
 Mrs. Roach, known always as de- voted wife and homemaker, has scores of warmest friends in Mena who at this time extend to her their deepest sympathy and love. The other mem bers of the family are Frank, the son. and Nellamena, the daughter.
 The body of the late E- T. Roach will be brought to Mena for burial, Mena friends have been informed. but the time of the arrival and arrange ments for interment are not known at Dresent

STEEL CORFORATi0N
 CUTS WORKERS WAGE
Twenty Per Cent Reduction for Day Laborers' Drop Effects All
 Empl1yes.

New York, May 5-A reduction of about 20 per cent in wages for day labor, effective May 16, and an equ.t- able adjustment of other rates, in- cIuding salaries at the plants of the United States Steel Corporation, was announced today by Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors It is estimated that between 10000 and 175 ,000 employees of the corpora ton will be affected.
 Mir. Gary also said the corporation has been unable to find a practical basis for the entire abandonment of the i2-hour day, or turn, in the imme- diate future. He added that the 12- hour shifts already have been elimin- ated in some departments, and that efforts will be continued with the ex- pectation of entirely eliminating this feature within the next year. MT. Gary expressed the belief that the corporation could not satisfy the em- ployes with any shorter limit.
