MUSCLE SHOALS
 NOW W TO CONGRESS
With Turning Over by Ford of Signed Contract to Secretary Weeks the Legislature Branch Will
 Have Charge.

Washington, Jan. Transfer from the executive to the legislative branches of the government next Monday of the Ford contract proposal for lease and purchase of the Muscle Shoals, Ala, properties appeared probable tonight. ". B. Mayo, chief engineer for the Ford interests, ar rived here late today from Detroit with the signed document and planned to deliver it tomorrow to Secretary Weeks.
 Meanwhile, the war secretary was at work on his report to Congress, which will accompany the contract when it is submitted.
 It was estimated that the report would be completed and ready for submission by noon Monday to the House of Representatives Once there it would be referred by Speaker Gillett, probably to the committee on rivers and harbors, for first consider ation and would not come before the House actually for debate on the floor until that committee had concluded it's deliberations.
 Secretary Weeks planned an auto- matic release of the report, and con- tract effective probably noon Monday for publication. That day and hour, however, it was explained had not been definitely decided upon but was regarded as the most probable of any that could be forecast at this tiIne
 Mr Mayo left Washington last fixed speedily on the following day and was followed by quick return here of MT. Mayo. He arrived few minutes after the regular war de- patment closing hour and for that reason delayed presentation of the contract to Mir: Weeks until morning.

STAR AID BEATS A FORD Lizzie Couldn't Find Lost Horse, but the Classified Column Did.

When c. A. Fuller's family horse got away from it's lot last month, the veteran telegrapher used his faithful Ford in chasing up and down the highways and byways in an effort to locate the lost equine. Lizzie did her best, but she couldn't strike the trail of c. As horse. As last re- sort Mir. Fuller inserted small ad in the classified column of the Weekly Star which was distributed over Polk county last Thursday. On Friday the Mena man received telephone mes- sage his lost horse had been seen west of Vandervoort. Later the same day received a second telephone call that the horse had been caught and put up a short distance from that town. He gives full credit to the Stars classi- fled column for locating his wandering steed.

GENERAL SMALLPOX
 QUARANTINE LIFTED
City Board of Health and County Health Officer, However, Will De- mand Certificates From In-
 fected Localities.

The health board of the city of Mena, Dr. T. M. Fletcher presiding, in conjunction and with the approval of Dr. ]. G. Hilton, health officer for Polk county, at meeting held at 2:3O o'clock Saturday afternoon, adopted the following resolution:
 That the general smallpox
 quarantine to this day in effect in
 Mena is hereby raised, but that a
 health certificate be required
 from any and all persons coming
 from towns or cities where an
 epidemic of smallpox is known to
 exist before such person or per-
 sons will be permitted to enter
 the said city of Mena, or any
 town in Polk county on any rail-
 read or other means of travel.
 This action followed the reading of authentic letters from De Queen HeaveRer and Cctavia to the effect that all are clear of the disease, and the further information that Poteau where the disease first broke out and ragged with such deadly effect, had won out in the fight and had removed all restrictions as to public meetings schools. travel, etc
 Places definitely remaining on the taboo list are Haynesyille, La, anc Shawnee, Sallisaw and Muskogee, Ok
 The board also took steps to notify NJ. A. Syratton, agent for the opera house property, hat the front wal of the damaged structure was con. sidered unsafe, and requesting that he take steps to guard against in, jury to the public from such wall.

 Bad Setback to New Business.
 Property from the Mena Grill was removed into the Hamilton building just across the alley. The loss of stock will not be so great here as the loss of business, which has just re- ceived promising start under the new management of Jack Stith.
 The pool tables, bowling alley, cigar case and other fixtures at the Mena Billiard Parlor were all taken out and removed to the Cox building on the corner of Jansen avenue and Mena streets.
 The stock of goods in the former Nandiyer Drug store was removed, al- so much of the fixtures. The prop erty was in the hands of the federal court, the business having gone into bankruptcy some weeks ago. In Dr. Vandiver's office over the Mena Grill there was also some loss of medicines, fixtures and instruments.
 Howitzcr Company Loss Small.
 The loss of state property in the arInory of the Mena Howitzer com pany will be small When the fire was discovered members of the mili- tary organization and others were able to carry out practically all of the equipment. The removal of ammuni- tion from the burning building kept the spectators from thrills which would have come later had the cases of explosives been left as prey to the flames.
 Frank Fried post of the American Legion was not so fortunate in saving the property in its club rooms Most of the equipment was left in the quar- ters of the former service men and was either destroyed by flames or ruined by water.
 In the assay office of Col F. M Reeves the heaviest loss will be the destruction of furniture and valuable mineral specimens.
 The burned building is owned by Joseph Kalavoda of Cuba, Kas. He secured 1t less than a year ago from Joseph Kricac of Chico, Calf The building in it's original state was valued at $40,000.
 H. NJ. Frederick Worst Hurt.
 Of the four men, who suffered in- juries while the fire was in progress, II. M. Frederick, confidential clerk of the Cox Investment Company, was the worst hurt. Mir. Frederick suf- fered fracture of the thigh bone in the right hip and may be permanently crippled as result.
 His injuries came IS the result of fall in the Cox building at Mena street and Janssen avenue. When the sparks and embers were flying thick est and 1t looked like they might cause fires to start on nearby business buildings, Mir. Frederick endeavored to get on the roof of the Cox building. He used a ladder to get thru sky light on the roof cf the two story building and whisa ae was un the lad der it slipped. letting him fan ta the floor. a distance of about twelve feet.

DISCUSS NEW H. s. BUILDING FOR MENA
Members of School Board Get Busy on More Room for Schooi--Bond Issue Suggested Com-
 mittees Named.

First official action towards new high school building in Mena was talk en at the monthly meeting of the board of education Saturday night. Committees were named to take up the matter from three different angles, that of building. location and -financ- ing.
 It was the opinion of the board members that a new school building is needed badly in Mena and that some arrangement must be made before another school year opens, to relieve the congested condition of the local educational system. The most feasi- ble solution proposed is the using of the present high school building for the grammar grades, and the erection of new structure for the students of high school age.
 The question of financing the erec- tion of a new high school is the big gest end of the three cornered prob lem. and the board of education left this matter up to Mark P. Olney, who is to devise ways and means of get ting the money.
 The matter of getting a location is
 
 to be settled by the entire board, each member being a committee of one to pick d site. A suggestion has been made that the new school, if built, be erected in Stilwell Park, where it will have one of the most command ing positions to be had in the entire city.
 What class of building to build, if one can be built, is the problem left to a committee consisting of Members T. k. Jones and Robert Norris, who will work with the assistance of Sup erintendent Ang~in A suggestion along building lines is. that the walls be of native boulder stones, which will not only give the city an economical form of construction, but one that will be artistic and peculiarly typical.
 It is expected that a building suit able for the city's needs can be built at a cost of not to exceed $30,000 or $40,000. It is suggested that a bond issue be provided for to secure needed funds, and this appears possible as the local school district now has only S8.00O outstanding in bonds.
 Aside from taking action on the high school problem, the most inter esting phase of the boards meeting was its decision to not put any cleo trio lights or telephones m the pres e1t school buildings.

ASSOCIATIONS (ET
 TOP COTTON PRICE
Carl Williams of Oklahoma City Tells Agricultural Conference How Co., operative Groups Sell $5O,O0O,0OO
 Worth of Staple.

Washington, Jan. 25.--Pointing to the handling of more than $50,000,000 worth of cotton this season by four states cooperative marketing asso- citations of cotton growers, Carl Will Hams of Oklahoma City, president of the American Cotton Growers Ex- change, today told the national agri- cultural conference that ''these or ganizations are apparently well on the way toward becoming permanent institutions in the south" He pre- dicted that these organizations would handle more of the 1922 crop and that at least eight state associations with more than two million bales pledged to them would be in business.
 Ready in Arkansas.
 The associations already doing business, Mir. Williams said, are sit uated in Oklahoma, Texas, Missis- sippi and Arizona, with "huge or ganization" ready for business in Ar kansas and North Carolina and or ganization work under way in Geor- gia, South Carolina, Alabama, Ten nessee and Louisiana.
 Mir. Williams declared it has been demonstrated that cooperative mark eting of cotton, which began IS months ago in Oklahoma, could be made effective and that growers woulds abide by long term, iron-clad contracts, and that they could be financed on a hasis of commodity col lateral to assure orderly marketing and for shortening the route be- tween producer and spinner The associations, he added, are not in tended to hold the product off the market to influence prices regardless of supply and demand.
 Do Better Than Market
 In Mississippi and Arizona, he said, the organization had sold long staple cotton lat from $10 to $25 bale above country market prices"
 "The Oklahoma and Texas short staple associations, whose cotton is of lower value," he continued, ''have developed diferential of form $5 to SIG bale, the first 2S,000 bales sold in Oklahoma, as attested by the United States bureau of markets it. self, showing an. average margin over country prices of $765 bale, cxclu- sive of waste, country damage and under grading"
 The real purpose behind the organ izations, Mir Williams asserted, is an improvement in the standard of liv. ing in the cotton producing sections.
 The war finance corporation, he said. has been s.the greatest single aid' in providing funds from which the associations could make advances to members pending sale of their cot ton. The corporation, he added, has loaned the organizations upwards of $20,000,000 within the last five months.
