CUBAN EXPORTS IN
SUGAR ARE HEAVY
Running Twice .the Totals Of
Same. Period Last Year,
Federal Reports.

Sugar exports from Cuba to date
are running even more than twice
the totals of the corresponding pc
riod OF last year. according to the
Federal Sugar Refining Company's
review of the industry. Up to
July a total of 3.757,447 tons was
shipped from the island, as com.
pared with 1.7O6,531 tons for the
similar period of last year. The
United States has received 2.747.Is3
tons from Cuba to date, as com.
pared with 1.47S.93S tons in 1921.
During the week ending July s,
118,S44 tons, out Of the total of
1858. .OO2 tons, came to this country.
remarkable average sugar Weld
of over 13 per cent is reported by
Federal's representative in Cuba.
This has been attained at cenTals
Chaparra and Delicias of the Cuban.
American Sugar Company. which
have to date made 1,507.sS4 bags.
against the original Federal esti-
mate Of 1,350,000 bags. Most of
the other sixteen mills which con-
tinue grinding report good out
turns, and the latest estimate of
3.SOo.OOO tons will probably be
reached.
Weather Is Favorable.
Central Tanamo, of the Atlantic
Fruit Company, has made an un.
usual record for an initial crop. The
growing crop has received very ia
vorable weather. according to the lat.
est report from Federars represen.
tative. Good rains have fallen In all
the provinces, alternating with hot
sunshine and accompanied by hign
temperatures. These conditions are
needed to counteract as much as pos
sible the effects of the severe and
protracted drought during the pre-.
ceding season.
Nearly a hundred times as much
sugar was imported by the United
States from inside" sources as from
outside" sources in the first five
months Of the year. In the CORE.
spending period Of last year the pro
portion was only about twelve times
as much. The total from Cuba, Por.
to Rico. Hawaii. Philippines and Vir.
gin Islands was 2,616,S39 tons to
May 81. this year, as compared with
2I,O14 tons from other sources. In
1921 the figures were 1,650,123 tons
as compared with 134.S57 tons. Alto
gether, In this period, a total OF g.
643,913 tons were imported, as com.
pared with 1,784.980 tons last year
England, France and Germany
continue as good buyers Of American
refined sugar, according to Federsl's
figures on exports during the first
five months Of the year. India,
Netherlands and Turkey in Europe
have also bought more than last
year. The demand from Greece,
Italy. Japan, and Mexico seems to
be falling off, as compared with last
years figures. Altogether to May
81, 507, ,90S tons were exported from
the United States. as compared with
1895 tons in the corresponding
period last year.

Tennessee, settled in Polk county
 Isaac Pirtle settled near Dallas, Ben
 at the Camp Grounds and Scott and
 Trusedale on Board Camp creek. The same year Isaac Jones settled at the site of Dallas and year later sold his improvements to John B. Stewart. , Between 1883 and 1851, MT. Can trell settled in the Miller neighborhood east of Dallas. Kennison Shults of
 Missouri on Six-Mile creek. (This place is now owned by Henry Miller who is a relation to Shults) Joseph Shults settled on Mountain Fork 12 miles west of Dallas. William Cox of Missouri settled on the Ouachita east of Dallas. Thomas Edom set- tied miles west of Dallas and Will liam Joslin of Missouri settled 215 miles north of Dallas. Jacob Ritchie was very early settler, 12 miles east of Dallas on the Ouachita. George M. Winton of Missouri, set tied south of Potter. (This place is now known as the Nath Gam place. Other pioneers of the 30's were Rich ard Powell, who came from Tennes- see and settled near the camp grounds; Fred Lunsford, who settled a few miles east of Dallas and Elisha Baker, who settled near Bakers springs in the eastern part of the county. Uncle Nat Allen of Cove, who was born in Polk county TT years ago, has been interviewed on matters pertaining to the old days and his narrative of things will appear in an early issue of the Mena Star. Uncle Nat is a close observer, has a good memory and probably has a better idea of old days than any other per son in the county.
 To hear these old settlers talk of the pioneer days is very interesting and no better tribute could be paid to their lives, their descendants and the county at large, than for us to hold a big county centennial when the year 1850 arrives, when Polk county will be 100 years old This would bring more people to the county and bring about more family reunions than anything that could be thought of. And Mena would be a good place log cabin in the park, and the land it was once a part of, is also linked up with interesting early day events events of which will be touched upon in another Dallas article in an early issue Also by the time 1880 rolls issue. Also by the time 1880 rolls county will have a good many miles of good roads to show the people.

Washington, Jan. 23.-A sweeping disclaimer of any design against the Integrity of Russia, coupled with . pledge to withdraw the Japanese troops stationed in Siberia as soon as orderly conditions are restored, was presented to the arms conference Far Eastern committee today by the Delegation and was received with a general show of satisfaction by the Representative of the other powers
 Formal discussion of the Japanese policy was postponed until tomorrow, but there was no indication tonight that any of the 'big five" delegations would oppose acceptance of todays Declaration at it's face value or ser iously dispute the plan of continuing for the present, the Japanese occupa- ton of Siberian soil. The general view that the whole Siberian prob lem touched upon today for the first time, soon would be disposed of on the basis of the Japanese pledges
 At the same. time the long contin- ned Shantung negotiations also ap- preached their conclusions. At their thirty first meeting to discuss the Subject the Japanese and China is- sues involved except the center ques- tion of the Taingtao-Tsingtao rail road and there were signs of impend- ing developments regarding that.

SOLDIERS BADLY TREATED.
Tom Salyers Tells of Conditions in
 Hot Springs Hospital.

Tom Salyers, the well known clerk at the Rexall store, returned Wednes- day from sojourn at Hot Springs, having ended his stay at the springs sooner than first planned. Accord ing to Toms story upon his return home he found conditions at the army and navy hospital so intolerable he was forced to leave. As former service man the young drug clerk went to the hospital at the Spa for treatment but short stay there con- vinced him the men of the A. E. F. were not getting the treatment they deserved. He found 132 former serv- ice men at the hospital and some of the treatment accorded them, Tom describes as disgraceful. He refused to stand for this and returned home despite orders. For this A w 0 L his compensation has been reduced, he says. As a result of his visit to the hospital the Mena man is going to bring the state of affairs there to the attention of higher government au- thorities.

AND MENA LOST A CITIZEN
C. s. TOmpkins Came From Illinois to
 Make His Home.


 Mena has lost a good chance for an increase of population because of the quarantine regulations. True the increase was only one person. but in the light of promises made, that one would have made good citizen. When No came in Wednesday afternoon d few passengers alighted, and among them was c. s. Tompkins of Taylor vile, Ill. After an examination by the quarantine officials, Mir. Tomp- kins was denied admission to the city on the grounds that he had changed cars at Poteau. The visitor explained to Mayor Jones that he had visited Mena some ten years ago, and liking the city in the hills, had since planned to return and make it his home. Re- gently he had been corresponding with Secretary Smith of the Commercial Club and few months ago decided to ship his goods and come to Mena to live. He arrived, bag and baggage, Wednesday, but because ticket agent at St.. Louis had routed him via Po- teau instead of thru Texarkana, Mir. Tompkins is not likely to become a resident of the city of his choice. The Taylorville man offered to be fumi- gated, vaccinated or quarantined, any thing to comply with the law and regu- lations, but there was no place ready to keep him. It was finally decided the best thing to do was to send Mir. Tompkins outside the city, and he se- lected Siloam Springs as the place to go. When No. 4 came along he board ed the train, and his parting shot was that he was never coming back to Mena. Mir. Tompkins said he had been boosting Mena for ten years, but his last comment was more of a knock than n hooef

that was unbeatable the American
baseball team of Hayes Park
grounds defeated the Vocational
School Juniors in the final and deci-
sive game for the Junior champion
ship of the Fairgrounds recently.
The game vas played on Hayes
Park grounds and the score was 6-2.
The playing on both sides was
spectacular, while the pitching was
superb. Labach of Hayes Park
demonstrated by his twirling exhibit
ton in this game that he is the best
Junior pitcher connected with play
grounds activities. He held the hard
hitting Vocational batters to seven
safeties and forced ten men to fan
the breeze. Shetzsky OF the van
quished team allowed thirteen hits
and famed five men.
A catch by Eddie Herbert of a
liner off the bat of Bonafsky on
which Macy was doubled off first
was the feature play of the contest.
Ernie Rangle also made a sensa-
tional catch of Kator's liner in the
sixth. The shortstopping on both
sides could not be excelled.
Billy Wilentz is in charge of &C
tivities at the Hayes Park grounds.
