My boat was once a thing of joy, A handsome young machine, It never cost cent except
 For oil and gasoline. It ran for miles without a squeak 1t never knew a pain. It never failed to roll along
 In sunshine or in rain. But now it's bolts are rusty,
 It has a million ills, It groans and squeaks and jerks
 along
 And lumbers up the hills. l shell out shekels to my friend, The trusty handy man Who tightens, loosens, readjusts And mends as best he can. But when l venture forth again To tour the bumpy ways, l wonder oft and plenty if
 External fixing pays. Some day I'll take my chariot And run her in the lake, And leave her safe from groan and
 squeak
 And mortal motor ache. And then I'll hoof it fast and free To some good motor store, And there, beneath the rubber tree I'll swear forevermore. "I'm thru with busses four years old. I'm thru with all this woe, I'm thru with freely shelling out My shiilings, pence and dough.

EGG PRODUCTION INCREASED
 BY THE USE OF ANIMAL FEED

Meat scrap or some other animal feed high in protein is the essential constituent of the mash which can not well be omitted. The United States Department of Agriculture found that pen of bullets, on free range, which did not get meat scrap or any other animal-protein feed laid only 90 eggs each in a year, compared with yields of from 125 to 15O eggs from pens fed rations containing meat scrap. The eggs from the pen where no meat scrap was fed cost 2.2 cents more dozen for feed than when the meat scrap was included in the ration. Fish meal or fish scrap can be used to replace the meat scrap and compares favorably with good grade of meat scrap containing the same per cent of protein.
 Skim milk or buttermilk. either sweet or sour, is excellent for replac- ing part or all of the meat scrap. The milk may be used in mixing the mash If a moist mash is fed, or it can be Kept before the fowls as a drink. if clabbered and fed thick or like cheese hens will eat enough of it to replace all of the meat scrap needed. A little bone meal makes an excellent addi- ton to the mash or it can be used to replace part of the meat scrap Green, cut bone, if fresh and sweet. will also take the place of meat scrap If fed at the rate of one-third to one ! half ounce daily per hen.

Mir Crawford arrived in Mena Friday morning to visit his brother, 4. II. Crawford, and was disappointed to learn that the brother had started for California only the day before. The Texas man during his stay found occasion to become acquainted with a number of Mena folks and before he left classed them as among the best people on earth.

A. K. Fretz has returned from Tulsa, Haskell and Muskogee, Ok, after an absence of several weeks. At Tulsa he heard Billy Sunday, the famous evangelist, last Sunday, and at the one afternoon service, to men only, the collections totaled $500. In coming over the new road from Black Fork to Acorn he found the going very bad because of the seepy spots in the new earthwork and on several occasions had to be pulled thru by teams.

The following should give food for sober reflection to all American citizens who desire to see our nation purged of all evil in it's civic and political life. He handles the grave questions that face our nation without gloves, and draws conclusions as sharp and distinct as is possible for any man regardless of his opportuni- ties or abilities.

 Unfair Attacks Made.
 The responsibility of the individual does not, however, cease With the casting of his ballot nor does 1t be- gin there. It begins first in develop ment of a proper attitude toward our public institutions and toward our public representatives. Office holders in the United States have borne such attack and misrepresentation and have become the target of such de- structive combarament that 1t IS al- most impossible to get the right kind of men to list themselves for office or to accept public appointment. Poh- tical campaigns tho forced to dlsin- lection in recent years, are yet too frequently perfervid competitions Tn personal vilifcation. A man ot ideals oering himself to withstand misrepre- sentation; to have his motives ques- toned; to have the most intimate de- tails of his personal and private life stripped and distorted to satisfy the passion of that breed of politician to whom nothing is clean.
 As individuals we can force whole some conditions in American life by fatty refusing to associate ourselves with political followings in which such damnabay debased tactics are countenanced.
 When the successful candidate has attained public office he then ceases to be in the minds of many of us, an honorable, patriotic citizen. Years of honest life among us are discounted and we begin to look upon him, too often, with suspicion. Whatever he does appears tinged with improper consideration, done not wholly for the public good And despite all, the man in public life today who does not spend each waking hour in sincere and unselfsh endeavor to serve his city, his state and his country is the exception to the rule. The greater proportion of mistakes made by men in public office are errors of heart and not of head.
 How many public servants, having given the best that was in them to the office which they held, have been returned to their neighbors broken in health, sick at heart, misunderstood, their honesty smirched; left to finish their barren days refecting on the acrid ingratitude of the public.
 Stand by Officials.
 Individually we can correct this condition by sstanding steadfastly by the officials we have elected to public office. Doubtless we elected them be- cause we had faith in their judgment. Doubtless we selected them from among their fellows because of their fitness for the task and because of their particular qualities as American citizens. We cannot expect a human being to be right all of the time. We can expect him to be humanly honest and sincere and humanly fallible. America is secure against assaults from without. If that majestic struc- ture which has been reared by dint of so much suffering and sacrifice ever crumbles it will be but the result of the careless indifference of the in- dividual American into whose keeping has come this greatest of all responsi- bilities.

had dealings with the departments at

cradle experience regarding the man
ufacture of munitions and instruments Of
war, present and future.
But the most unique phase of this pro-
posaI is Mrs. Birds presentation, how
that came about, and why.
HOW 1T ALL
HAPPENED.
1t seems that Mr.. Park was determined
to get his ideas before the conference
and came to Washington for that pur-
pose, accompanied by Allen McCurdy.
After inquiries he was directed to the
advisory committee on general informa-
ton, of which Col. William Boyce

use in war, under an international COM
mittee; that each subscribing govern
ment make the private or secret manu-
facture of instruments or inventions OF
war illegal and punishable; that what is
manufactured be under an international
committee in a chosen neutral territory,
to be paid for by proportional appropria-
tons from participating governments
which shall be allotted arms for Internal
necessities and in the event of war.
1t seems that Mr.. Park was very
pleased indeed that a woman had been
instrumental in presenting his propost-
ton to the conference, as his survey OF
the situation convinced him the women
of the country were better organized to
obtain results, not only in naval arma-
ments, but also in the elimination of
other causes of war-Copyright, 1921, by

sofa, one of the younger men in
Congress, has not only made all en-
viable place for himself in the politi-
cal field and as an orator of rather
unusual type, but has recently come
into the lime light as writer of flc-

1t is political novel of the middle
west, strictly fiction, but written with
great animation. His publishers
seem to be very much enthused about
1t and it promises to create con-
siderable stir.
