2,000 KINDS OF INSECTS
 ARE FOUND IN ARKANSAS

Fayetteville, May 18.-"Arkan- sas has over 2,000 different varieties of insects" said Prof. William J. Baerg, professor of entomology in the University of Arkansas, in a recent talk before the Mont Zion Self-Help Club. "In the whole earth there are perhaps 500,000 different species of insects which is many more than all the other species of animal life con- bined.
 The variety of these insects is al- most ineredible," he added. There are types that live on all different kinds of animal and vegetable matter, and on lead pipes, so that out in Cali fornia it is hard to keep the lead pipe lnsolation on electric wires. And now from Austria comes the news of a new insect that even attacks tin and steel"
 In telling how to combat insects Prof. Baerg pointed out that some in- sectc chew leaves, wood, etc. and these can be reached by poison sprayed or dusted on their food. But those that insert a drill and thus ex- tract their food must be fought with a contaetual poison, which kills upon contact

AN ADVERTISING JINGLE.

There was an old geezer
 And he had lot of senses He started up in business
 On a dollar eighty cents. The dollar was for stock, and oJ for an ad, Brought him three lovely dollars in a day, by dad! We'll. he bought more goods
 And little more space, And he played that system
 With a smile on his face. The customers they flocked
 To his two-by-four. And soon he had to hustle
 For a regular store. Up on the square,
 Where people pass He gobbled up corner
 That was all plate glass, He fixed up his windows
 With the best he had, And told them all about it
 In a half page ad. He soon had 'em coming
 And he never, never quit. And he wouldn't cut down on his ads one jit. And he's kept things humming
 In the town ever since. And everybody calls him
 The Merchant Prince. Some say it's luck
 But that's all bunk. Why, he was doing business
 When the times were punk People have to purchase
 And the geezer was wise For he knew the way to get 'em
 Was to advertise.

WHAT NEXT?

Mena is proud as proud can be ot that fine bunch of boys and girls who received their diplomas Friday night, evidence of the faithful work they had accomplished in the High school And Mena, like an ambitious parent, hopes that each and every one of them may go onward and upward, if pos sible taking college course to better fit them for the worlds service.
 But we know that not all can do this. Some will, perhaps. have to go to work, meeting the requirements that civilization places upon them. Others may escape this thru the in- dulgence of parents or friends. Of the two, the first, as a rule, is the most fortunate.
 And this leads up to the thought behind this article.
 The worst thing that comes to young folks, and old, for that matter, is idlenes. These graduates from our schools. and good many who have not gone so high, should be given something to do. They should start at once, in a line of training, physical and moral, that leads to strength of body, mind and character. They should begin to learn the meaning of service and of the way money and livelihood is best attained--by their own efforts. It is the route to hon. orable manhood and womanhood and self-reliance.
 1t is confessedly true that Mena is below the average in it's need for and use of such labor. It long has been 8 regret that large per cent of our best young men, if not women, are forced to leave Mena, their homes and firesides. in search for employ ment. It is this thing that every one of us who can should go out of his way to remedy.
 For the sake of our young folks and for the sake of our little city, let every business man look about with set purpose to find places for the young men and women, the boys and the girls, who will be benefited by employment, This is the time of year when it is most imperative to do this.
 The Star pleads for this sort of thing---this spirit--in Mena. And, in- dicating it's earnestness, aside from four carrier boys, it now has on it's payroll five folks who have been in Menas schools, some who will go back next fall, and each of these is doing useful work, making some money, and is being strengthened for useful life ahead.
 Think it over.

A LESSON NEVER LEARNED.

From the Southwest American.
 The old farmer philosophical as he leaned over the fence of his hog yard. He had just emptied a pail of hot siop into the hog trough, and was observ- ing the drove of hogs as one after another they plunged noses in the trough and then ran squealing away.
 "Durned eff humans ain't just like hawgs," he soliloquized. "Ef them hawgs had a lick of sense they'd have learned somethin' from the fust ones which got their noses burnt, and been wise enough to wait till the swill got cool. Same way with humans. One reckless feller sows his wild oats. blows his money, an proves jest orn- cry and gets his fingers burnt sooner or later. But what happens to him doesn't do a mite of good in stoppin' other fellers from going the same gait"
 Plunging on great grain gambling institution, the Chicago Board of Trade, ruined the life of John Quirk, sent his 75-year-old father to jail and would have wrecked every business in Arcola, Illinois, if some rich men for the sake of the town had not re- placed in the bank four hundred thousand dollars which young John, cashier of the bank, had blown in on grain gambling. His father who was president, cried in jail as he said. q tried to get John to quit but he wouldn't
 But getting Johns nose burned never will stou any other man frop, playing fast and loose with other peoples money in the craze to get rich fast.

 Pernicious political activity is ered- tied. to Theodore Roosevelt. who ere ated the Ananias Club to which ha relegated those who he claimed failed to stick to the truth.
 Carpetbagger has also disappeared but it was more particularly annli, cable. to the period, for it referred to Northern political adventurers who went South during the period of reconstruction.

FORT LOGAN H. ROOTS
 MAY BE BIG HOSPITAL U. s. Public Health Service May Use 1H Million Dollars for
 Great Plant.

Little Rock, May 20.-Dr. l.. O. Welden of the U. s. Public Health Service arrived yesterday for the pur- pose of taking over Fort Logan H. Roots, which has been transferred to the Health Service from the War De- partment, to be converted into hos pital for ex-service men. The insti- tuition will be devoted particularly to nervous and mental diseases.
 An appropriation of $250,000 is available with which to make neces- sary enlargements and improvements in the buildings at Fort Roots. An architect is expected from Washington soon to make the plans and recommen- dations. There is also hospital building fund of $12,000,000 for new construction, in the United States, and those who are interested in Fort Roots are hopeful that eventually they will be able to secure another $1,0OO,- 900 from this fund.
 Dr. Weldon, who was sometime ago located in Little Rock, with the Pub lie Health Service, cooperating with the city, says that he considers Fort Roots the most logical place for a big hospital of this character. There will be eight or nine medical officers on his staff and a personnel of at least 125.

SHOOTING UP OLD SHIPS.

One of the nations smartest edi- torial writers has given us piece in his excellent paper in which he waxes very indignant because our navy air. planes are going to practice bombing by making targets of the obsolete German warships that were awarded to America in treaty which Germany signed. He says: If the Germans had taken battleships of ours and amused themselves by making targets of them We should not feel highly of the per- formance."
 This gentleman of the pen forgets, however, that the American navy MAKES TARGETS OF ITS OWN OBSOLETE SHIPS ships on which American boys have fought for their country and which they loved just as much as the Germans loved their al- legged warships.
 You will readily remember par- tieularly notable example of this. The U. $, battleship sTexas was in the battle of Santiago, commanded by Captain Phillips, who said, as the Spaniards struggled in the water: Don't cheer, boys; the poor fellows are dying" The Texas became a back number in good time, and our navy took it down somewhere around Hampton Roads and shot it full of holes, as a target. Incidentally, they couldn't sink the gallant old Texas. and more recently she has made tar get of our bombing airpIanes. Thev too, failed to sink her.
 The German warships are of m use, except as hulks upon which to experiment. And if our navy can use vessels from which "Old Gloryn has flown in battle, certainly there is no sentiment against placing to the same use warships that have flown the black flag of Emperor William.
