CLENWILD CATTLE TAKE
HONORS AT MISSOURI FAIR

Mr.. w. A. Campbell, Superinten-
dent Of Glenwild Plantation, is just
in receipt of advice from Sedalia,
Mo-, that the show herd of cattle
from Glenwild is taking high honors
at the various fairs which are being
visited. At the Missouri State Fair
at Sedalia, Rodney, famous Short
horn bull, was awarded the Senior
and Grand Championship, and Lady
Dorothy, won the Junior Champion
ship. Those who know purebred cat
tie take great delight in viewing the
exhibit from Glenwild. It is rare
one and is exciting admiration and
causing comment, not only in Grenada
County and the State Of Mississippi,
but all over the United States. The
Glenwild cattle are given the best Of
care and attention which accounts
for the fact that they are in such
perfect condition always and that
they are taking prizes all over the
country.

NORRIS OR FARM CREDITS
BILL PASSED IN SENATE

Washington, Aug. 10.-The Norris
or farm credits bill which passed the
Senate last week is expected to pass
the House of Representatives within
"a few days and become law at an
early date. ....
While the bill was before the Sen
ate, Senator Pat Harrison succeeded
in having an amendment adopted
which authorizes the War Finance
Corporation to purchase $100,00O.-
600 worth of farm loan bonds this
wear and $1OO,00O,0OO worth next
year. In urging adoption OF his
amendment, Senator Harrison stated
that applications for loans amounting
$3.50, 100000 could not be taken care
OF for the reason that the farm loan
board had been able TO dispose of
only small amount Of bonds since
the decision of the Supreme Court
some months ago enabled the board
to resume operations in the way of
making loans.
A similar amendment offered by
Senator Harrison when the Agricul-
tural Appropriation bill was under
consideration during the last session
of Congress was adopted by the Sen
ate at that time, but was not acted
i upon by the House as the decision of
the Supreme Court upholding the
constitutionality of the Farm Loan
Act was handed down in the mean
time. Failure, however, of the board
to realize on it's bonds has necessi-
tated the providing Of funds in other
ways in order that the farmers whose
applications have been passed upon
may obtain their loans.

why IS ICE HIGHER
IN GRENADA?
Mr.. Penn Wants to Know. Other
Places Cheaper. Thinks Time to
Crawl Down From High Prices,
Editor Sentinel :

Editor Sentinel:
/ noticed in the Commercial Ap-
peal of today a news item from Neri-
! dian stating that the ice makers there
had voluntarily cut the price of ice
when sold at the factory from so to
40 cents per hundred pounds and
when delivered to purchasers from 50
to so cents per hundred pounds. The
thought comes to me, Why is it that
ice prices are not reduced in Grena-
da? We are paying, when delivered
to us here, land ! would say that 80
per cent of the people are compelled
to have it delivered) 20 cents per
hundred pounds, or 40 per cent more
than Meridian prices. What's the
matter here, shall Grenada lose the
place she long occupied of being the
best place to make purchases any
where in this section? Another thing
about the ice and that is that much
of it is white ice and nelts almost rs
quickly as snow. 1t looks like so
many people are slow to crawl down
from high prices-the war is long
time in the past and we all ought to
head for more modest profits. You,
Mr.. Editor, Judging from some very
recent decided expressions in your
paper, am sure, quite agree with
me that everybody should encourage
heading towards lower prices. want
to commend your stand in that regard.
You are right and are serving your
town and county well in taking that
stand. There are lots more things
that might be said about some things
in our community, but there is no
use in trying to cover all the territory
at once Maybe the wiser ones will
see the handwriting and hunt for
safety and thereby save themselves
from public mention.
But let's see about ice. Grenada
is entitled to ice as cheap as Meri-
dian and / am in favor Of taking
steps to get it. What say you Mr..
Citizen, Mr.. Everybody? Speak out.
Don't hide your light under a bushel
Come to the front and let's help
Grenada and at the same time help
ourselves and those who trade with
Us.
Yours truly,
z. A. PENN.

THRILLS ON A MOTOR TRIP
Worn Brake Bands Responsible fo
 Small Accidents.

Thrills not akin to those that come from gridiron sports were the portion of three-car party of Mena folks who went to Hot Springs on Turkey Day to see the football game. The party made the trip despite the rain and the muddy roads, and it was the motor handicaps that acted as. a con tributory cause to the thrilling ex- pefiences. The trip in fact wore out brake bands and gave the drivers of the cars a lack of control While driving in Hot Springs the car pilot ed by Jess Lauck didn't stop at the Hotel Como until it had ran over the sidewalk and damned up against the front door. Luckily the damage was not great. On the return trip, while just out of Mt. Ida, J. T. Magruder's car went into the ditch and turned over on it's side. Miss lone Golf, one of the passengers, was thrown out but was not hurt The top was slightly damaged. This accident happened when MT. Magruder, in or der to escape striking the Golf car ahead of him, turned short to one side and into a ditch.

THEsE wERE Non THANKFuL.
Officers Find Two Men Making Moon
 shine Near Big Fork.

Thanksgiving cheer of the kind that produces the dark brown taste the morning after, was spoiled in the making Wednesday when Officers Hungate and Hazel descended without invitation upon a moonshiner's outfit in the Little Missouri country near Big Fork. When the officers arrived the still was working at full blast and was turning out a fair grade of sui eide tonic. Two men were at the still, the officers say, and both were armed. When the command was giv- en to hold up their hands both men dodged behind trees and the officers state they were forced to shoot several chunks of bark away before the near est one would drop his gun and sur render. During the shooting the oth- CT made good his getaway, the officers not desiring to wound him. The one captured gave his name as Ila Hass and his companion is known and will be arrested later. Hass was brought to Mena and will have a hearing or December 1 before Justice s. H Smith. Before leaving the officers de- stroyed the still, which was of an un- usual make, having a double boiler They also poured out more than 10C gallons of mash ready for cooking. A part of the worm and about gallon of moonshine was brought in to Mens as evidence.

battling with the gridsters of the Spa, the Second Stringers or Scrubs, as they are sometimes called, were at Smithville upholding the honor of the Red and Black The s. S.s were walloped to the tune of 48 to 6, but there was no disgrace in their defeat, for back of the expedition is tale of plucky determination that is entitled to rank with such classics as Jason's s quest for the golden fleece, or Peary's dash to the pole.
 Some day the full story of the trip across the state line will be told as it should be told, and the heroic endeav- ors of the sturdy second stringers will receive the recognition the valiant band deserves. But for the present the only publicity permissible will be to touch the high spots.
 Loaded onto truck the eleven, composed of Robertson, Carter, Stew enson, French, Burnett, Atwood, Bailey, Montgomery, Patton, Moss and Bullion, with Oliver Norris as coach, and Gift, Randolph and Han cock as rooters, started with stout hearts to brave the indictment weather and the enemy on the home grounds. The trip once started was one of slow progress and hard riding, for trucks are not built for comfort and the roads were far from being smooth.
 l The slow speeding caravan did not reach Smithville until after three o'clock, the time set for the game to start. There was no time to eat, the i time to battle was at hand. Tired af- | ter their hard journey, hungry but undismayed, the little band of second stringers went into the battle against their heavier opponents.
 | This is no tale of woe. 1t is not an alibi. It is intended solely as a testi- imonial to as game a bunch of young sters as ever fought for the honor. of their school. Over that muddy, water soaked field they fought and minded not their aching bones nor the gnaw- ing bangs of hunger. They gave the i best they had in them and heroes can do not more. The eleven lads from Fulsom academy made total of seven touchdowns against their lighter ad- versaries, who were lighter than us- ual because of lack of food and rest
 Yet to the glory of the s. S.s let it be said they never quit trying and their do it or die spirit was rewarded
 with touchdown in the second quar- ter. Atwood intercepted a forward pass and ran 42 yards until he slipped
 and fell in a pool of water. Bullion
 completed the run into touchdown g few minutes later. This was Mena's
 greatest offensive effort.
 Following the game the boys were
 royalty treated by the academy folks
 and my how they did eat and sleer
 that night Unfortunately the lads from Arkansas are in the habit of eat. 1 ing breakfast, and when morning
 dawned they found there was mol
 money enough in the crowd to buy
 everyone eats, and no one was willing
 to breakfast unless all could. Hence
 the second stringers returned home as
 they landed, on empty stomachs.

WHITE CLIFFS SOLD TO CINCINNATI MEN
Valuable Chalk Deposits in Little River County to Be Immediately Deyeloped-The Price Paid
 Is $500,000.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 Little Rock, Nov. 26.-Purchase of the White Cliffs property on Little river between Ashdown and Nash vile and plans for the development of the valuable chalk deposits, were announced yesterday by Burton B. Futile of Cincinnati. o. MT. Futile represents Cincinnati capital which, he said, purchased the property yes terday from A. B. Banks and asso- ciates for approximately $500,000.
 A company capitalized at $1,000,000 will be formed and the manufacture of both fertilizer and whiting will be- gin at once. Mr. Futile with Simon Ross, IT,, his law partner, and R. W. Foster of CincinnaJ. and George Will son of San Francisco, Calf, returned yesterday from White Cliffs, where they inspected the property. lnvesti- gations have been in progress for nearly year. Mr. Futile said and manufacturers to whom specimens of the White Cliffs chalk have been shown have, in many instances, re- ported it superior to that of the Dow CT cliffs of England, where the bulk of the supply now is obtained. Im- port records show that the shipment of chalk from Dover to the United States in 1919 aggregated value of $43, 3,000,000.
 Only One in America.
 John c. Branner in 1896 reported the White Cliffs chalk bed as "the only one known to exist in the Unit ed States and said that the chalk agrees very closely in composition with that of the Dover beds which has been used for many years in the manufacture of Portland cement.
 The property, MT. Futile said, con sists of 2,600 acres eight miles north of Ashdown on the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad, and includes the town of White Cliffs, considerable railroad trackage, 900 acres of chalk deposit, 800 acres of timber, and the rest in good farming land.
 The deposits were operated about 25 years ago by Dutch company which built a town. At that time chalk for cement was mined princi- pally. Later the property was sold | to MT. Banks and associates, and con siderable mari and limestone for fertilizer was sold. The program ot the proposed Cincinnati firm, accord ing to Mir. Futile, will begin with the manufacture of whiting and chalk and later to remodel the fertilizer plant and to manufacture putty anc cement. It is estimated that the initial output will be five carloads 2 day. The chalk sells from SIS to $3( a ton in St. Louis.
 MT. Wilson said that chalk is uset extensively as filler for rubber, anC in the manufacture of linoleum, paint cosmetics and fabrics. The United States Rubber Company, he said, useC 500 tons daily, and daily consump tion of about 200 tons day occur: in the industrial section between St Louis, Chicago and Cleveland.

FONUD AMATEUR DETECTIVE
 WORKING ON BIG JOB
Seeking Postoffice RObber Wanted at Dallas, Tex, Local Officers
 Make Discovery.

A search made in Mena last week for postoffice robber wanted at Dal- las, Tex, resulted in the capture of a real correspondence school detective. In making the capture the officers working on the case did not know that the hunted man was also a hunter of the man they wanted. The miXup provided a good laugh for all con- cerned after explanations had been made. The story starts with Sheriff Thornton receiving from the authori- ties at Dallas, Tex, request to be on the lookout for a man wanted in the Lone Star state for several post office robberies. The sheriff was ad- vised that mail believed to be intend ed for the supposed robber had been sent to Mena under an assumed name. The supposed fictitious name was giv- en and Sheriff Thornton delegated the man hunt to a pair of deputies. The men put on the job found their man all right and were about to take him in charge on suspicion of being the Texas postal robber, when the about to-be prisoner surprised everyone by announcing he was detective and was hunting for the robber himself. Explanations in detail followed and the officers learned that the man they had captured had only recently grad uated from a correspondence school of sleuthing and was trying out his newly acquired education on the Tex as postal robbery. Correspondence the detective had with woman in Dallas relative to the case had lead to a suspicion the Mena man was the hunted instead of the hunter.
 As secrecy is the greatest asset of a detective, the name of the local man, was of course, not made public, but Sheriff Thornton vouches for his actual presence and residence in Polk county.

A THANKSGIVING WEDDING.
Miss Mary Mershon Becomes Bride of
 C. Aubrey Bolton.

Thanksgiving Day in Mena saw a quiet home wedding that came as a surprise to the acquaintances of the happy young couple. The nuptials were those of c. Aubrey Bolton of Port Arthur, Tex, and Miss Mary Mershon of Shreveport and Mena. Rev. w. M. Cooksey of Hot Springs was called upon to perform the cere- mony, which occurred at high noon at the home of the brides parents, Mir. and Mrs. J. J. Mershon. There were no attendants and the only witnesses were the brides family. During the ceremony Mrs. Guy Thornton, sister of the bride, sang Unto My Life You Came," being accompanied on the piano by Miss Rachel Mershon, an- other sister. Following family din- ner the newlyweds left on No. 3 for their home at Port Arthur. Both of the young folks have many friends in Mpna.
