HAYWOOD AIMS HIGH NOW.
Wants to Share World Rule" With
 Lenine and Trotzky.


 Chicago, April 24-"Big Bill" Hay wood aspires to the proletariat dicta- torship of all continental Europe with Lenine and Trotzky, the present soviet "czars" of Russia.
 This was the reason Haywood. I. w. W. leader, under sentence to serve vised, in technical legal details by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania.

 District Attorney Clyne said he had definite information that Haywood went to Russia to become associated with Lenine and Trotpky as the bol- shevist organizer of Europe.
 Radicals here said the reds of Rus sia believe the time is ripe to start a campaign to establish revolutionary governments in other countries.
 They said Haywood was confident the time had arrived for the bolshe- wiki to strike for rule of all Europe. He was convinced the situation brought about by the German repara- tions demand, the British labor situ- ation and other economic conditions in Europe made the workers sfscep- tible to a soviet campaign.

Chicago, April 21.-Federal officials today received confidential informa- tion that William DsHaywood, secre- tary of the l. w w., who is scheduled to begin a sentence at the Leayen- worth, Kas., penitentiary this week has fled from the United States and now is in either Moscow or Riga.
 Charles F. Clyne, United States dis trict attorney, announced that a search had been started for Haywood.

HOP CLOVER SEED RTPENING.
Valuable Legume Can Be Started on
 Farms Now.

Attention of farmers and stock raisers is called to the fact that hop clover is now almost in full bloom and those who desire to get seed for plant ing should get ready to act soon. Hop clover is the small annual clover that is so plentiful in Mena. It resembles Jap clover, but is distinguishable be- cause of the yellow bloom it bears. The seed is not handled commercially and those who desire to get the clover started on their farms or in pastures can easily do so by getting some of the seed from the plants growing here in the city. As it is one of the earliest of spring legumes, and able to grow on almost any kind of land, hop clover makes a desirable addition to most any pasture.

WHAT GERMANY WOULD HAVE TAKEN.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

ttbtl thC AihdAbho 1hHrtAS.
 George Seldes, special correspond ent for the Chicago Tribune in Der lin, has learned "from thoroly reli- able sources" the terms victorious Germany hoped early in 1917, to im- pose not only on the countries then opposed to her, but on America, who had not come into the war. The terms were drafted by no less a per- son than the kaiser.
 Tn draft was made when the Ger man star was in the ascendant and when all Germany thought victory assured. The kaiser wanted in money loot one hundred billions of dollars. In the original manuscript he speci- fled dollars and not marks, francs or pounds. This inconceivable sum was to be paid $30,000, 100000 by Great Britain, $40,000000, ,000 by France
 and $30.000,000,000 by the United States.
 The United States was to be made to pay this enormous sum on the pre- text that it had furnished arms and ammunition to the enemies of Ger
 many. In addition to the one hun dred billions of dollars Germany was to take enormous quantities of raw materials from the world, and Amer lea was to be made to furnish it's share of these. Germany also was to take much territory from other coun- tries, including the iron basin of France that Bismarck overlooked in 1870. It will be remembered that Germany, after the Franco Prussian war, took from France that territory believed to contain all of Frances iron ore, but later France discovered much richer mines than those Ger many took from her. Germany in- tended to correct this error. What do those Americans who lost no loved ones in the war and were but lightly touched by 1t and who now are so willing to forgive Ger
 many and forget, think of this sched- ule of loot?
 After learning what the kaiser's plans were when he thought he was to become overlord of the world we can get a better idea of what his feelings are now in his bleak refuge in Holland. Even his mammoth egotism can not protect him from the knowledge that his place in history is to be con temptible one.

 Electric Storm and Wind.

Electric Storm and Wind.
 One of the heaviest rainfalls ever recorded in Mena was that which will go on record under date of April 26. For the "A hours ending at ' a. m. there fell, according to the official measurements, total of 3.9O inches cfswater, which is, as those who saw or heard it, some rainfall even for this humid cline. The downpour. which was heaviest between 5 and 6 o'clock Monday afternoon and again in the early hours of Tuesday morning put the streams of Polk county boom ing and caused many to overflow their banks. What damage the overflows will cause cannot be told at present, but it is certain that many piece of bottom land will have to be replanted Accompanying the rainfall Monday afternoon was strong wind and an extra amount of thunder and light ming. While these agencies of nature caused alarm, they did no damage of consequence in Mena or vicinity.

WHO'S LOST A FORD?
Chief of Police Has One in Charge and
 Seeks Owner.

Many and varied are the Ford jokes carried out in the name of the sturdy little car, but Mena has Ford that is about to break in the limelight as a mystery car. Chief of Police Hungate found forlorn roadster parked on Mena street Monday night, having weathered the nights rain. Said ve- hicle was sans light, sans license, so the chief ordered the car lowed to a garage to await claim by the owner. The local agents for the popular make of car have announced reductions of late, but the price has not yet reached the stage where an owner willingly leaves his car as the property of the first one that comes along, and the explanation of the wherefore and why will be waited with interest.

Fight fans at Birmingham, Ala, saw real scrap Tuesday night, &C., cording to the message received in Mena Wednesday, which announced Dummy" Harrington as winner of the decision over Larry Avera, of Atlanta.
