HOG LAW AND OTHER THINGS.

To the Editor of The Star, Mena, Ark.
 Dear Sir--I see in The Star that you ask for opinions on the intended Hog Law as contemplated by our representative, the Hon. Mir. Johnson. From reading your paper and listen ing to the common conversation of the people that seem to know any thing about the law, that the proposed law IS to be enacted, and the people of Polk county will be brought under it's conditions thru the vote of the last election
 Now 1t IS stated in The Star that the Hog Law proposition was placed on the ticket thru an error, and that there was no law authorizing such vote, and it was of non effect, so it seems to me that the legislature is going too far when they try to pass any ex Post Facto law as that is one of the stipulations in the U. &. constitution that is strictly forbidden.
 And no act of the legislature of Arkansas can pass any law making an act legal or illegal that was not legal or illegal at the time of it's passage while the majority vote was in favor of the Hog Law, it is the same as no vote and can't be legalized by any act that might be enacted or passed by the legislature. While I personally voted for the hog law, I am in favor of a square deal and personallv talked to our representative in Mena. and he never hinted that he was goino to even try to make the illegal vote legal, and | further asked him in the good Interest of all and to give 2 square deal to the people of Polk county to incorporate in the intended bill to exclude all incorporated towns m the county from voting on the gen erai Hog Law, as the incorporated towns had their own say as to inc matter of stock running at larga ;,, their limits. but he would not pron,;aa that as it would deprive the people of mena and Hatfield to domineer over the country folks, and they want to be the controllers in everything as thev nave m the nefarious way the h;gb. them. eieu oh
 Now if there is single honest man m any incorporated town that wants to vote for such law let him pet ont or Town where he can see the things m their true light, and will say fnrs ther that no man if he is honest will want to vote on law that does not anect him. especially when he has fhe nrlvilege of voting for such a law in. the town where he resides.

State EntOmOlOgist
Speaks at Princeton

Frank n. Wallace, State entomologist
Nnder the State department Of eonserva-
Ron, was to address a public meeting at
Princeton this afternoon. Mr.. Wallace
was to speak on Care Of Trees" under
the auspices OF the Princeton Civic Club,
which is endeavoring to interest Prince
ton people in spraying fruit trees and
the preservation of shade trees.
Five years ago many fine shade trees
In Princeton died and entomologists were
at loss to account for it, as investiga-
ton showed the trees were not attacked
by disease or insect pest. Now there is
some indication that gas tar, a properly
in a road spray, washed against the
roots OF the trees as a result of hard
rains and caused their death.

TRUE THRIFT is
NOT RESTRICTIVE
Tightwad and Miser as Bad
as Spendthrift.
By 8. W. sTRAUs.


President American Society for Thrift
A general understanding that true
thrift In constructive rather than restric-
tive is essential at all times, and espe-
cdally during these days of widespread
unemployment and unrest
Many persons seem to think that thrift
means spending as little as possible and
what Is even more unfortunate, many OF
them put this belief into practice. Hence,
at times such as We now are going
through their misconceptions and false
practices interfere with the nghtful
progress OF business
No man has a moral hight to be miser-
~ and thus become a dead weight on the
neck OF business. All OF US have duties
1 20 society IN addition to those that are
Spurely selfish
Our abilities. our energies, our brains
bur educational equipment our expert
bnee, our physical strength and our
money should be utilized for the benefit
OF others as well as for ourselves.
The greatest purpose In life is service
Mankind owes nothing to those who
I've purely for self alone.
Il should be borne IN mind that real
thrift means the elimination Of waste OF
every kind, It is thrift, therefore. to
spend money in such manner as will re-
suit in our own upbuilding along right
full lines; and it is within the meaning
of true thrift to spend money that will
rebound to the general warfare Of man
kind as long as In doing so we keep
within our means.
No doubt a great amount Of money
could be spent along rightful lines by
individuals In America today which would
be helpful to the general business stu
alton, but this money is not being spent
because OF the misconceptions of thrift
which exist in the minds Of many
The men who builds a new house for
himself or for another man is practicing
correct thrift, provided he builds within
the bounds Of prudent business practice
The farmer who develops his farm or
puts more land under cultivation, com
munities that create we'll advised public
works, are among further examples OF
constructive thrift
Let us understand that saving money
Is only one Of the countless good mani
festations Of thrift and that the miser
and tightwad are no more thrifty than
Is the spendthrift.
Had we, as a Nation, understood and
practieed intelligently this constructive
thrift there would not have been the
widespread waste and extravaganza that
followed the war; neither would there
be the extensive unemployment that ex-
lists In America today.

Safeguarding Water
Supply States Duty

Indiana, with a population of nearly
three million people. has neglected to
safeguard its water supply and prepare
for any augmented demand. Through
laxity it permitted much valuable water
areas to be wasted through unwise drain
age projects. Lake levels were lowered,
lakes drained and streams polluted by
reason of commercial invasion and being
used as sewers for municipalities, cess
