Alas! In the beginning a man may

HOW THE SUIT DOLLAR IS
 DIVIDED

Presumably the American Woolen Company will net send a vote of thanks to c. J. Faweett, director of the wool marketing department of The American Farm Bureau Fedora ton for his disclosures regarding the travels of the suit buyers dollar. It appears that on suit of clothes which retails at $40 the wool growers share is $196. Hence the wool growers part of the suit buyers dol lar is 4.9 cents. Also few other fal- lacies are exploded as for example the statement that domestic wools is not suited to the manufacture of the bet ter grades of mems wear. There is no better wool in the world than American wool. The injection of cotton and shoddy into fabrics has swelled the coffers of manufacturers who in addition have offered as an excuse for inferiority the poor quail ity of domestic wool. As the situa- ton stands the wool growers get but small share of the money and for their product condemnation instead of nraise

GIVE TT A NAME

The berry growers and the truck growers held joint meeting at the courthouse March II. There was a good attendance, but of course there were many who were not present. They were too busy doing the same things in the same way they have all ways done them. Why shouldn't they? That is what brought them their present store of prosperity.
 The meeting was-called to order by Co. Agt. c. H. Alspaugh, who ex- plained the purpose of the meeting. Next came the election of officers. B. H. Hawkins of Old Potter was elect ed chairman of the truck growers branch, and M. Roger, who is in charge of the Berry-Cherry Farm, was elected chairman of the berry grow erss branch, and Prof. J. ". Middle ton of Hatfield was elected secretary for both commodity organizations, with J. P. Callahan as assistant sec retary. As many members are inter ested in both truck and berries, the meetings will be held jointly. The truck growers held very interesting and instructive session after which B. H. Hawkins yielded the chair to M, Roger. Nothing seemed to change but the chairman, and the subject of discussion. The audience and interest remained the same. Later when the sweet potato and the cotton growers join us with their organizations we can have a real farmers meeting.
 As usual, Acorn was well repre- sented. Frank Rork of Hatfield was there to gather pointers he could take to his fellow members who were not present. No doubt he will be heard from at Hatfield's coming meeting The members in Vandervoort were holding local meeting March II also. T. J. Bass of Vandervoort attended the meeting at the courthouse, and left on No. to join his neighbors at their meeting to give them the benefit of what he heard that would be help ful to them. Just think of it. Four commodity organizations covering all the chief products of Polk county, combined as one organization, to be- come unit of greater organization covering all of Southwest Arkansas for the purpose of growing these NAORo 6t ACdob NOat1 hAC&Atiht6 bhAC ulE est price the market affords by ex- pert grading and securing the price thru competent, experienced sales men. This fostered by the Farm Bu- reau, which is fostered by the Federal and State governments; also by the Extension Division. The great pack ing concerns, the clothing, many other powerful interests, bankers included, are awakening to the fact that the degree of prosperity of the nation de- pends much on the prosperity of the farmer. believe the time is coming when the farmer can recognize many of his great enemies, fancied or real, as his best friends.
 Join the Farm Bureau, sign contract covering your commodity, attend the meetings, get a separator, some dairy cows, raise their feed; read the Home
 Farm and Dairy papers, and you will prosper if you work

 INTRODUCES BILL TO REGULATE DANCING
New York Assemblyman Would Ban Jazz, Hug, Cheek-to- Cheek, Neck
 Hold and Other Varieties.

Albany, N. r., March s.-Creation of state public amusement commis- sion with power to regulate dancing is proposed in a bill introduced in the legislature by Assemblyman William Duke, chairman of the assembly codes committee.
 Jazz dancing, hugging, cheek-to- cheek dancing, neck hold dancing and all classes of suggestive dances are sought to be banned by. the bill.
 Penalties for violation of provisions of the measure includes a fine of $50 for the first offense and fine of $250 for the second. The bill also would make the time measure for certain dances as follows:
 Waltz, is; two-step, 54; one-step, 66; fox-trot, 43."
 The inspectors of the proposed commission would be required to at- tend and supervise all public dances.

white beard. and would give up his office in preference to parting with this. He believes in plain living, csrnbread, bacon, etc, prepared in the oId-time way, and he makes a rule each day to be in his office and check over the previous days business in person before his clerks arrive. He is one safe servant of the people.
 Then comes Ira c. Hopper. Ira is well known over in Mena because, be- fore the war he was principal of the Mena high school, where he made good. Later he enlisted with Uncle Sam for that general roundup of the Huns. and went with the boys to France, made good record in helping make the world safe for democracy, and came back to Montgomery coun- ty, from which he soon was routed out and elected to an office of respon- sibility and honor. No one has &C., cused Ira c. of delinquency in being always on the job, and he doubtless will succeed himself for second term on his record and merits.
 Jim c. Ferguson has been in Polk county many times, both before and since election. He is one of the most active youngsters that ever held of- flee in Arkansas, and the actual list of the things he has done to give the people of the state better knowl- edge of what they have and can dc is too long to print here. One big town paper says:
 His foresight has led to import
 ant plans and undertakings whicf
 reach far beyond single term and this is a strong reason why 1T
 fairness to him and the state he bt
 kept in the place the coming term.
 The Star believes these three mer are among those worthy of the sup port of Polk county voters.

If It Fits

You still find the old-fashioned motto, Home Sweet Home," hanging on the walls of lot of homes, where the only thing sweet in them IS the sugar bowl.
 A young man always tells q girl he is not good enough for her, but she waits until after the marriage serv- ice to tell him how thoroly she agees with him.
 You hear a good deal about the "handy man around the house," but the one wife likes the best is one who has the money to hire experts to sick on the odd jobs she wants done.

 They tell us the world needs to laugh more, but we guess if the superstouts were to go thru their reductions stunts in public there would be danger of the poor old world laughing itself to death.
 Wives are very much like automo- piles in some respects. Most of them are self-starters and it is their acces- sories that make them so expensive.
 A fiapper finds it pretty had to re- spect the memory of her dear depart ed grandmother when she learns the poor old lady actually wore three or four petticoats, flannel skirt and heavy underwear in winter instead of knickers, short skirt and silk hose. It doesn't surprise her bit the old lady only lived to be 90. A soft answer may turn away wrath, but a married man wants us to find out for him how he can get his wife to stop long enough to hear the soft answer. Anybody who knows please write.
 A young girl thinks she wants to marry a man who has all the good qualities. Her mother knows she will be content if she finally gets one who just has the price for the other things she wants.
 Nothing makes girl more modest than fiat chest and skinny lower extremities.
 A lot of people who could not hear the loudest knock of opportunity car catch the first faint sound of the en gine's knocking.

Thirty Persons in 50-Foot Plunge in
 Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, March is.-Seven persons were killed and sixteen in- jured today when a passenger coach on the Atlanta, Birmingham & At lantic railroad was derailed near Union City. The car went of a trestle and fell fifty feet.
 Thirty persons were in the coach, the last of the train, when one of the wheels burst. The trestle was reach ed and almost crossed, when the car suddenly turned over, tearing away from the one ahead as it fell into the shallow creek.
 Six men and one woman were killed and several of the injured are not ex- pected to live.
