Agricultural Glasses
Close the Work of Year
Students Make Best Showing of Any
Class Turned Out at Local
School
(By E. M. Gillig)

The agricultural classes OF the
local school, in charge of E. M. Gil
lig, brought their organized class
work to close last Friday. The
classes are made up entirely of farm
boys who are in school under organ
lied class work for a period OF. SIX
months during the winter. Under
this plan, they are afforded more
time in spring and in the fall to help
with farm work at home. Each boy
however, on being dismissed IN the
spring, pledges to carry on project
at home in connection with some crop
or class Of live stock that he has
studied during the winter in school
He conducts his work and his plans
on this subject, as closely as possible
to the way he was taught in school
on the matter. The instructor must
visit each boy several times each
month during the 6 months that the
boy is at home, helping him with his
project and other work that is deem
ed necessary and keeping the boy in
terested and active through the year
Thus, these boys are really undergo
ing a process of education for the full
year of II months.
The year has just completed
their class work was very success
full one. The work Of the class was
recognized when the class and its In
structor received an invitation this
winter to demonstrate before the
large convention held in Minneapolis
in February by the Vocational Ed
ucation Association of the Middle
West. This is believed to be the best
class in agriculture ever turned out
in the Sank Centre high school. The
members Of the class are:
Thomas Allen, Edward Borgmann,
Lester Burdiek, Bernie Cole, Lyman

all through the year during which
time she will have charge of the gar
den work at the institution.
During the past few months Miss
Michelet has been studying condi-
lions at schools in the east, but few
weeks ago decided that the Sank
Centre school would better answer
her purpose of study, and she vail
complete her work and study OF the
conditions here, using this plan, in

study in Norway, Sweden and Ger

MENA HAD QUIET CHRISTMAS
Absence of Mooashine Contributed to
 the Peace-More Liquor Outside.

Mena had the quietest Christmas in years according to the records of the police courts, not a single arrest hav- ing been made. The absence of moon shine and other forms of liquid joy is held responsible for the absence of trouble and the absence of the illicit liquor is credited to the vigilance of Chief of Police Hungate, Sheriff Thornton and Deputy Sheriff Hazel. 1t is believed a little contrabrand seeped thru, but not near enough to breed trouble
 Outside of Mena there evidently was more liquor to be had for reports of trouble came from Grannis, Hatton and yandervoort. Deputy Sheriff Doug Walker brought up Walter Smith from the last named place and placed the man in jail until Monday night, when friends supplied the re- quired ball. Smith is charged with being drunk and with having created trouble at the home of Enoch Golden by using a revolver. Smith will have a hearing January 2 before Justice Sam Smith in Mena. Deputy Sheriff John Shorter came up from Hatton in charge of K. Ray, who after hear- ing before Justice Smith, was fined Sl0 and costs for drunkenness. Dep uty Sheriff Hornsby of Grannis was m Mena Monday to file information against holiday revelers.

VICTIM OF ALLEGED ASSAULT
 IS FINED FOR BEING DRUNK
No Evidence to Hold Anyone for Slug ging and Robbing Joseph P. Wilsie
 of Big Cedar.

Joseph P Wilsie of Big Cedar, Ok, who claimed to have been assaulted and robbed in the Dickson wagonyard Thursday night, was given board and lodging at the county jail Friday night, which illustrates the bad luck some fellows have. An examining trial was held during the afternoon in Justice c. L. Clements court to ascertain if possible who had slugged and robbed Wilsie, and what had be- come of six gallons of 0klahoma-made moonshine, reported to have been stol- en en route to Mena. There was no evidence forthcoming as to the identity of the ones guilty of attacking Will sic and no evidence but his own that he had lost S70, and no evidence what ever regarding the stolen moonshine. Yet there was ample evidence, the court found, that Wilsie had evidently sampled something stronger than city water, and had been intoxicated. On this charge the court fined the Okla homa visitor S10 and costs and in lien of payment, sent the defendant to Sheriff Thornton's boarding house for the holidays.
 Later-It is probable Wilsie will he
 paid out' before night Saturday.

CHRISTMAS DINNER
 10 NENA FAMILIES
Distribution of Thirty CT More Blg Baskets Prepared by Members oi the EIks Lodge Begun Friday
 Afternoon.

Thirty or more Mena families will have good substantial Christmas dinner. and some to spare this year because of the generosity of the focal lodge of Elks. Distribution of the Jackets of food started Friday after noon and will be continued as long as the Elks can find home where hun ger exists If more families in need are found than are now listed the lcdgemen will care for them.
 In keeping with the custom of prac- ticing what they preach the Elks this year decided to make the annual Christmas distribution one of food. Investigators who have carefully searched the city have reported total of thirty families that because of lll- ness. unemployment and other causes, xere in need of food supplies. In par ticular have the Investigating ones sought out the families where there were children.
 With the funds contributed mainly by members of the order, supplies were bought in wholesale lots and the special relief committee of the lodge, aided hy Secretary Fred Smith of the Commercial Club, arranged the distribution. As near as possible each family was given the same as- sortment, and to show the substantial character of the donation the list of twenty-five articles each received IS as follows:
 One live chicken, sack of flour, sack of meal, bIfcket of lard, gallon of sor- ghunl, peck of sweet potatoes, half peck Irish potatoes, packages rolled oats, box crackers, can corn, three bars of soap, bunch of turnips, box of salt, box of pepper, three pounds of beans, three pounds of sugar, three pounds rice, pound of coffee, package of prunes and raisins, half dozen each apples and oranges, package of can dy and chewing gum. The retail val ue of each assortment was S7.10, or a total of $213.0Q for the thirty families.
 The relief committee of the Elks, tn their work of soliciting funds and preparing for the distribution of Christmas food supplies found many who insisted upon helping out. Three men not residents of the city were especially liberal. Asa Gatlin made a special low rate on the 90 gallons of sorghum and so did Marshal Seitz on a big lot of sweet potatoes. J. A. Johnston refused to take pay for tur- Rips, and donated them to the cause.
 The Cox building was given to the use of the committee for the assem- bling of supplies, and the list of those who otherwise helped make the affair a success is too numerous to mention.

HATFIELD SCHOOL CHILDREN
 SHOW CHRISTMAS SPIRIT When Case of Needy Mother and Five Was Laid Before Them They
 Did Wonders.

One of the prettiest stories of the Christmas spirit that has come to The Star in a long time is out of Hatfield, brought by Superintendent of Schools w Fl. Morden. Here is the way it goes:
 Some months ago the father and head of family of mother and five children passed to the beyond. They were on little farm, on which little had been paid, and at the end of this season this mother gave up the fight that has stumped many man, and moved her little ones into small house in Hatfield. Here she did wash ing and such work as she could get.
 A few days ago the attention of Miss Leonora Rector, county proba- tion officer, was called to the situa- ton. She investigated, and in her distress, appealed to Superintendent Morden, who then and there request ed that the problem be left to him.
 Tuesday morning of this week Mir. Morden appeared at chapel in the Hatfield school, He related what he knew, and then urged that the stu dents share in a Christmas treat to this family, each bringing such arti- cle as he or she could to the school the next morning.
 Wednesday morning MT. Morden was on hand with his car, and when he had loaded the Christmas offering for this mother and children it was filled to the top. The gifts were so numerous that, so far as possible the items of like character are given in the total.
 Six quilts, l sheet and 2 pillow cases.
 Barrel of miscellaneous clothing, pairs shoes. 3 ladies' coats. ' ehil- dren's coats, 20 pairs stockings, 6 yards outing, broom, half bushel toys, $2.50 cash.
 Canned Goods-15 quarts black berries, 12 quarts beets, 2 quarts peaches, 2 quarts kraut, cans toma- toes, 2 cans spinach, can baking pow der, l quart preserves, 2 quarts string beans, quart peas, 1 quart cucum- Der pickles, can corn, cans' peaches, l can pork and beans.
 Six and one-half gallons sorghum, , pounds lard, 10 pounds meal, peck white potatoes, 3k bushels sweet po- tatoes, bushel white peas, 40 pounds meat, 3 packages soda and bars soap.
 Certainly a good foundation for a Merry Christmas for an appreciative family.
