Yank breaches his doctrine Of
strength. They make the boat go.
Don't they? They shovel coal into the
hungry mouths Of the furnaces. They
IRE doing something. but they are not
milking.

noise in the hole. Yank begins 20

Wolheim makes you see the COM

seems to brutality tear open the very
soul OF Yank Smith. You see this

THE IMMORTAL GEORGE.

From the Southwest American If you had lived long ago and had been introduced to George Washing ton, you would have shaken hand: with physical giant.
 Washington stood feet 2, athletic build, powerful chest. Reddish brown hair. Blue eyes. Large hands. In history, this is important. For without his strong and healthy body Washington could not have stood the hardships he went thru as command erin chief of the armies that won America it's independence.
 Born of planter parents considered wealthy in those days, and inheriting landed estate Washington was no ialer. He fought his way into his- tory by hard work He was only 16 years old when he headed westward into the wilderness as surveyor.
 He served as surveyor for three years. The pay was small but George was economical, saving enough from his wages to buy large tracts of land before he was of age.
 At maturity his reputation was established as thrifty, reliable, hard worker, intensely Democratic, of simple tastes, a square deal" man. The virile pioneers accepted him na- turally as their logical leader.
 A leading character of critical times Washington was serious-mind- ed from youth He knew the bitter hardships of winter in the unexplored wilderness, Indian fighting, and the starvation and cold of Valley forge.
 Washington never admitted that defeat was possible. Tn the dark est days of the Revolution, it was largely his inspiring courage that kept hope alive in his famished sol diers.
 February % is the 190th anniver- sary if his birth. 1t is good to know that the father of our country was a regular fellow virile, likeable, an ideal American. In his life, many lessons for the young. Also, much in- spiration for those emerged from youth.

Tho Star, treated to puugcuily and well. There Is no denying the things he states-we ali have known it if We have thought of it-and The Star pleads guilty in not taking the matter up. the reason being, perhaps, too much hesitation in discussing some of those things that do not come close horne. and feeling the futility of a iit- tl scounty newspaper back in the mountains of Arkansas undertaking to influence national affairs-tbose policies that are formulate and pro mulgated from and at the nations capital.
 But it is true that even The Star, and ct more the voters of Polk coun- ty, may secure results thru direct ap- peals to our representatives in Con- eress. And 1t is probably true that little will be done in this particular instance unless the people make known to their representatives their desires, and in the case of restricting the threatened deluge of foreigners, this must be done quickly--completed within four short months.
 Granted this, then let us, as true Americans, demand the relief, the safeguard by our senators and repre- sentatives. Let each reader of The Star spend two-cent stamp in writ ing to one or all three, telling them that we want what is yet left of our country for our posterity, pure and undefiled.
 Our senators are:
 T. II. Caraway,
 Joe T. Robinson, and their addresses, Senate Chamber, D. C., and our represen- tative,
 Otis Wingo, House of Representa- tives, Washington, D. c.
 In fact and truth it will be the crime of the age if something is not done at once We may, as citizens, be party to that crime, if we are too careless or indifferent, as individuals, to do our share.
