WOULD BRING JAPAN AND U. S. TOGETHER
Lloyd George Suggests Combination on Pacific Problems Would Guar
 antee Peace of World.

London, Aug. 1S.-Prime Minister Lloyd George, in statement in the House of Commons today concerning the recent conference of imperial premiers, said the conference had rec ognized unanimously that Japan had observed loyally the alliance with Great Britain during the war. He asked was 1t right that Great Britain should now turn about and say to Japan: Thank you for the trouble you have taken, but we don't want you any longer.' There were cries of 'No!" from the commoners.
 If the United States and Japan could combine on the problem of the Pacific, the prime minister declared that would be a great event and a guarantee for the peace of the world The sgrest way to success in the forthcoming disarmament conference, he said, would be thru an understand ing on the Pacific and he was still hopeful that such an understanding would ensue as result of the Wash ington conference.

HERE'S ONE ON FORMER MAYOR
Ira 0. Smith Fined in Lockesburg for
 Traffic Law Violation

Those who believe Mena is the only place that has traffic regulations should consult Ira 0. Smith. Mir, Smith arrived home in Mena Thurs day after having passed thru Lockes- burg on return trip from Nashville. He was driving new spic and span Ford and while this may not have been the reason, the fact remains the Mena man turned the wrong way around the traffic marker. He thought he was at cross roads and not liable to municipal regulations, but a traffic cop informed him otherwise and had hlm fhlm haied before His Honor, Mayor Norwood Notwithstanding the fact that he was former mayor of Mena

 smith was informed it would cost nm just S3.5O. The mistaken motor ist paid his fine, assuring the Lockes- burg executive he had no intention os violating the law. "

Maple Avenue, Mena to DeQueen,
 Will Be Improved.

VIII be improved.
 The grading of Maple avenue from Mena to DeQueen street is one of the latest civic improvements due to the activity of Alderman W. A. Wilson. The block is now among the worst in the city, portion of 1t being covered with sand and the remainder with rock, all of it being above yrade, so that with every rain the walk along the Duke-Magruder building has been flooded, even to the extent of the flood waters running into the side entrance of the Duke -Magruder store.
 The work will be done by Contrac- tor Monroe, now engaged in paving Mena street. The contract price will be S65, thirty-fve of which will be paid by the city and the remainder has been pledged by the adjoining proper ty owners who have been interested in the project by Fred Duke The plan is the remove the sand and rock, bring the street down tO grade and then use the surplus clay and gravel from the block on Mena street between Maple and Janssen avenue The job will be carried on simultaneously with the paving of Mena street.

WILL BRING MANY
 TRAVELLERS HERE
County Judge H. V. Finger Has Started Move to Make Eagle Gap Safe for Motorists--Also Will
 Open Trade Territory to Mena.

County Judge H. " Finger, real
 ixing the importance to Mena of mak ing auto travel practical to the nortf thru Eagle Gap, and being unable from the county funds in hand to un. dertake the task, has started cam paign to secure money to nave the work done.
 Judge Finger has used freely of tho general fund in giving aid to dis tricts that were most in distress, and to purchase needed equipment for i'm. provement of county roads and this fund is now very low He be- lieves, however, he can squeeze out as much as $l00, and, on opening the subject with number of citizens Fri day, found such ready response in real money that he has concluded to go ahead with the enterprise. His pur- pose is, so soon as enough money has been secured, to put Thad Reid, one among the best road overseers m the county on the job of improving that awful stretch of road beginning at Acorn and extending thru Eagle Gap to Eaaleton and on to the Forest Station. near the PolkScott county line
 This will, as quickly as completed, open travel thru Polk county as never before As far south as people hear of the Ozarks, they are being told they cannot get thru Polk county toI the north, but must go away around thru Oklahoma, or else east toward Little Rock. The same is true to the north, in directing northbound tour ists. And then there is heavy travel between Oklahoma and points in Ar kansas and east.
 More in detail, Overseer Thad Reid, | beginning Monday, secured all the free labor possible and available funds | of Acorn township and started work on the road from Acorn to the town ship line on the Eagle Gap road. Dur ing the time he win fix up a camp outfit, and on Monday, August %, | will start a force on the same road thru Rich Mountain township north to the county line, at the Forest Station. | On this work he will depend on such funds as are supplied by Judge Fin ger and citizens. He also particular ly invites those who cannot give money. but would work, to join in the 1 effort To these he offers free board l at the camp while they are ai work
 The funds subscribed for this | work to date follow.

WALTER WILLIAMS
 TO EXHIBIT WORK
Will Give Demonstration of Junior Achievement Work in Bristol
 Next Week.

Walter l.. Williams, of 53 Hart street, one of the city's active junior achievement club leaders, has been requested to take charge of a junior achievement exhibition at Bristol on Friday, November IS. The eXhibi- tion is to form part of an affair to be conducted by the Congregational church of that place and will be held in the parish house. MT. Will Hams has charge of three clubs in Bristol and four or five in this city.
 Another proposition which MT. Williams is about to bring before the local junior achievement council and which has the hearty approval of National President O. H. Benson is that of a junior achievement day. in the city, whereby all the local clu'ls can get together and spend day or a portion of the day doing their work where the public can see how it is done. He contends that there would be more interest shown in this class of work in New Brit ain if local people were more fa- milar with the policy of teaching children how to do things and to learn to do things by playing at work.
 The proposition will be brought to the attention of the executive com mittee of the local junior achievement council at it's next meeting.

He said it was easier to remember the Gre ator in the days of youth because youth has fewer bad habits and evil companions to give up. His second point was that by remembering the Creator in the days of youth it be- came possible to avoid eXcosses and temptations. His third point was that it was an insult to God to offer the fragments of a misspent life af- ter youth has passed away.
