WILL TALK TO AND OF
 THE AMERICAN LEGION
Frank L. Whitman, Field Representa- tive From National Headnaarf-
 CTS Coming Saturday.

The American Legion is to enter tain a distinguished visitor from the National Headquarters, when Frank L. Whitman, field representative, will arrive Saturday. Mir. Whitman comes in the interest of the Legion, and to give the ex-service men of the county better idea of the purpose of the organization. The meeting is not for ex-service men alone, however, for MT. Whitman will tell of the general work being done by the Legion thru out the country. As an example, in n number of cities it is the Legion that IS taking the lead in all moves for civic betterment. In Los Angeles, the Legion is conducting a "Clean Up" drive, and is having better success than the city officials have ever had. The enormous membership of the or ganization means it is a National power, yet by its constitution is a non-political organization. Mir. Whit man will also take up the work the Legion has done toward getting ade- quate treatment for the wounded veterans.
 All in all, the meeting should be at- tended by everyone who felt any in- terest in the World war, for Mir. Whit man comes as the representative of the boys who served in the war. The business men, members of the Com mercial Club especially are urged to attend this meeting.
 The meeting will be held at the courthouse. beginning promptly at o'clock.

DIPPING CASES IN COURT.
Many Cove and Hatton Citizens Here
 for Court Action.

Mena was the Mecca Wednesday for the people from the Cove and Hat ton vicinity, who were defendants, witnesses or interested parties in the several cases for failing to dip. Thir- ty-seven residents of the Cove vicini- ty are defendants in cases which came before Squire Smith this afternoon.
 Charles Webb, who was arrested last week charged with the blowing up of dipping vat near Vandervoort, was given hearing before Squire Smith Wednesday morning. After hearing the evidence and examining several witnesses, Justice Smith de- cided the evidence warranted binding the young man over to the October term of the grand jury under $500 bond, which was readily furnished.
 Col. Pole McPhetrige represented the defendant and Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorney E. J. Stuart conducted the prosecution. The evidence dealt with the young man having talked with parties after the dipping, and also tracks found near the vat that witnesses likened to the defendants, owing to peculiarity of the track of the left shoe.
 J w. Webb, father of the accused, who was also examined, was not held, no evidence being introduced to show his connection with the dynamiting.

S2lI,536 AID FOR JEFFERSON HIGHWAY
Judge Finger Back From Little Rock With Definite Assuranee--Commis- sioner Wilson and Engineers Com
 ing-Banquet Planned.

Federal aid for the Jefferson high way to the amount of $7l ,536, avail able in amounts from s25,000 up to the total as soon as the June meeting of the board is held; further aid to the extent of $15O,000 to be applied on the highway south of Mena and to be paid over when the work has pro- gressed to a certain point and meets the approval of the state and federal highway engineers. These are some positive assurances resulting from the trip of Judge II. W. Finger to Little Rock last week.
 This means just this The Jeffer- son Highway in Polk county will re- ceive outside aid to the amount of $211 ,536.
 Still more was arrangement with the state Highway Department to lease for three years q concrete mixer and gasoline engine which will be used jointly by the city and the coun- | ty. The rental for this machinery for the three years will amount to I$150.
 Judge Finger also received a road scraper for 0uachita township, and to finish up the business deal be bought for the city n dozen shoveis from the government supplies, pay. ing 50 cents each for the same.
 Not content with that, Judge Finger arranged with Herbert R. Wilson. state highway commissioner, to make a visit sometime soon to Polk county and make a personal inspection of the work OF the Jefferson Highway Along this line Mir. Wilson gave him the assurance that the Federal gov lernment was especially interested in the Jefferson Highway in Polk coun- ty for the reason that it is link of the great North and South highway from the Lakes to Gulf.
 Oldtimer Still Boosts.
 Dr. c. c. Gunnels, former resident Iof Mena, and still booster for Polk county, upon hearing that Mir. Wilson contemplated trip to Mena, volun- tecred to take him across the country in his automobile, and when Dr. W. F. Parks learned that this trip was in contemplation, he insisted that the Iauto party should come by Hot Springs so that he could accompany them to his home town, and also go over the route of the Jefferson High way.
 No definite date has been set for this inspection trip by Commissioner Wilson, but Judge Finger has the as- |surance that it will be made public in time so that when the trip is made over the route of the highway every taxpayer will be given an opportunity to meet Mir. Wilson and the state and federal highway engineers who will accompany him.
 To make the occasion homecoming for Drs. Gunnels and Parks, as well as to show the courtesy to Commits sioner Wilson and the highway engin- eers. the secretary of the Commercial Club is already making plans fer a business mems luncheon, so that buei- ness and professional men will have an opportunity to meet and mingle with the visitors.

FINANCIAL. AID ID EUROPE POSSIBLE
Administration Policy for Normal Business Discussed at White 2 House-"Meeting of Best
 Financial Minds"

Washington, May 29.-A meeting of best financial minds" has been in- |augurated by President Harding and his advisers as means of considering the nations industrial outlook with particular reference to the question capital to foreign governments.
 Some of the most prominent fig ures in American finance and indus try already have given the president the benefit of their judgment on specific problems effecting the finan- cial world and in the near future oth- CTS are to be called to the White House to consult on ways and means to stabilize conditions and hasten "the return to normalcy."
 The foundation for series of dis cussions on these subjects was laid at Ia White House dinner last night, the detail of which became known today for the first time.
 Treasury and Secretary Hoover of the Commerce Department, the president had as his guests for the occasion J. F. Morgan, Paul Warburg and half dozen other men of great influence and power in financial circles.
 Whether to encourage further loans of private American capital to for eign governments was one of the questions most seriously considered with most of the fnanciers arguing that such extensions of credit means to place foreign finances on sound basis once more and thus to improve the field for American exports. This question already has received much attention by the cabinet.
 Some of the visiting bankers, 1t was said, expressed concern over the pos- sibility of funds raised in this coun- try by foreign bond issues being used to buy the products of other foreign countries. The belief was advanced that use of America nmoney in such a manner would result unfavorably to domestic industry especially farming.
 On the other hand it was pointed out in some administrative quarters today that purchase of Argentine wheat by foreign buyers with money borrowed in this country, for ex- ample, would assist that country's business and the money would event. ually find it's way back into the Unit ed States in trade between these na- tions.
 Administration officials, however, in the discounted reports that Amer ican money was to be used to any ex- tent in foreign markets by foreign borrowers. Most of the funds to be raised here, it was asserted, would be used to relic or fund existing gov- ernmental indebtedness here.
 For luncheon today Mir. Harding had as his guests Charles M. Schwab, who advised regarding the shipping problem. The names of those to be summoned to the White House later were not revealed, but it is generally expected that round table discussions of the financial situation will be reg ular feat of the presidents program fer some weeks to come.

 night Is Postponed.

A Mitchell, who has been so ener- getically pushing the work of organi- zation for the summer resort project, as previously outlined in The Star, has reached point where he is calling in an engineer to Lake definite plans and estimates on the biggest single feature, the proposed lake and the dam which will be built to impound the waters.

MEXICO IS NOT RIPE
 FOR BOLSHEVISM
Socialist Leader Tells Chamber of Deputies "Such Ideals" Must
 Await Progress.

Mexico City, May -Bolshevism does not constitute a menace to Mex ico, declared Antonio Diaz Coto Y Cana, socialist leader in the chamber of deputies last evening, Senor Gama has long been recognized as a radical chief, and has been charged by politi- cal opponents in the chamber with having planned the invasion of the lower house of the Mexican congress by alleged bolsheviki two weeks ago.
 Mexico is not prepared for bolshe- vism, he asserted during the course of an address. "Its proletariah classes, because of their lack of education, ex- perience and general worldly knowl- edge, are not in position to supplant the present ruling class. Bolshevism however, is ripe in England, France, Italy, even in the United States, but Mexico must wait for further devel- opment before such ideals can come to fruition here"

RAILWAY WAGES WILL BE SLASHED
Twelve Per Cent Cut Set for July 1, Estimated to Be Saving of S400.- 000. 0.000-Wipes Out Increase of
 July 20, 1920.

Chicago, May 31.--An estimated
 our hundred million dollars will be
 dashed from the nations railway wage bill when an order cutting wages an average of 12 per cent to be handed down tomorrow by the
 Jnited States Railroad Labor Board, becomes effective July l. The order affects members of 31 labor organiza- tions employed on l04 railroads.
 While the decrease is specifically applied only to the roads whose cases have been heard by the board, the decision says it may later be applied to any other roads asking hearing under the provisions of the Esch- Cummings transportation act.
 Percentages of reductions comput- ed by members of the board gave the average of l2 per cent and the same source estimated the annual reduc- tion in wages at approximately $400,- 100000.
 The decision grants reduction carry ing from 5 to 13 cents an hour or from to 1S per cent, and in the case of section laborers completely wipes out the increase granted that class of employers by the $500 ,000, ,000 wage award of July 20, 1920. For section men the reduction was approx imately IS per cent. Switchmen and shop craft were given per cent re- duction while the train service men were cut approximately z per cent; car repairers were cut about 10 per cent.
 Common labor pay, over which the railroads made their hardest fight, is to be reduced 6 to Sla cents an hour, cutting freight truckers average monthly wages to $97.10 and track laborers to $7711. The new schedule gives section men an average daily wage of $3.02 for an eight-hour day, altho considerable testimony offered by the roads, particularly in the South, showed common labor wages as low as $l 50 for a ten-hour day.
 Shop crafts employees and train and engine service men except those in passenger service are reduced 8 cents an hour. Construction and section foremen are reduced 10 cents an hour
 Passenger and freight engineers, who were given increases of 10 and 13 cents an hour by the 1920 award are to be cut to 8 cents an hour respectively. Passenger and freight conductors who received increases of i21s to 13 cents in 1920. are cut 7ih and 8 cents respectively by the new schedules.
 Train dispatchers and yardmasters whose monthly earnings at present average S260 to $250 are cut cents an hour.
 The smallest reduction will apply to office boys and other employees un- der IS years of age, who will receive 5 cents an hour less after July l.
 Clerks are classified so that enter ing clerks usually young men and women of IS to 20 years of age. will receive a monthly salary of $67.50 for the first six months and $77.50 for the second six months of service. Clerks with less than one years ex- perience now receive S120.

.COFF CONPANYS
 SAFE CRACKED
Small Amount of Money Was Only Thing Missing-Criminals Evidently Were Amateurs at Business
 Valuables Scattered About.

Safe crackers that lacked the skill of the finished criminal cracksmen, visited the Golf Wholesale Grocery Company Wednesday night, and broke into the big safe, making a safe get away with a sum of money estimated at between $50 and $60. The night providers were evidently amateurs, fer they used a heavy hammer to break off the knob on the safe and to get in side to the money box. That the loss was not heavier was due to the fact that the bulk of cash received during the day had been placed in the bank during the afternoon. The cracksmen evidently did not care for anything but cash, as war savings stamps, checks, notes and other valuable pa- pers were found scattered over the office, having evidently been thrown around hurriedly in the search for currency and coins. Drawers and desks were opened and searched, but check-up by the clerical force Thurs day morning failed to disclose any thing missing save the cash. Among the pieces of money taken was a keep sake MT. Golf prized highly, this be- ing one given years ago to his de- ceased son. How the safe robbers ob- tained entrance puzzled the officers called to investigate the crime. Two different doors were found unlocked and open, but there is no trace of anyone going in or out these entran- ces.
 Sheriff J. A. Thornton was notified Thursday morning after the crime had been discovered by M. H. Horn ing, an employe of Mir Golf, and the official made a thoro examination of the wholesale house seeking clues to the robbers.
