HEIRS FORMER VANBERVOORT
 MAN SUE FOR INSURANCE
R. c. Smith Supposed to Have Died in Pueblo FloOd-Was Using An
 other Name.

A suit filed in the Polk county cir cult court last week calls attention to the death in the Pueblo flood last June of a former Vandervoort resident The suit filed by Frederick & Van Hoy on behalf of William Nations, is to collect $5,500 insurance on the life of R. C. Smith, who formerly lived at Vandervoort Mr. Nations is a son. in-law of Smith, and also guardian of minor heirs. Smith is said to have been mainly instrumental in the build ing of the telephone lines at Wander voort and lived there for many years. He left Vandervoort in 1917 and went to Kansas and later to Pueblo, where he was employed in construction work on a railroad. The last seen of Smith was by members of the crew of which he was foreman, as the train on which he was riding was wrecked. His body was never recovered, and for this reason the insurance companies are withholding payment of policies. There are two policies of $2,000 each in the Illinois Bankers and one of $1 ,500 in the Woodmen of the World. When leaving Vandervoort, Simth, for some reason unknown to his chil- dren, changed his name to J. w. Wright, and was known to his fellow workers by that name. tho still us- ing his right one for all business deal ingg

City Authoritie Take Step to Relieve
 Congestion at New Depot.

Mena's city jail is now provided with facilities for keeping its lodg- CTS from freezing over night. Chief of Police Hungate has secured stove for the bastile but the dodgers will have to provide their own fuel. There have been so many itinerants visiting the city of late that the new passen- ger depot has been overcrowded by the homeless ones. The city jail not being used much was thought a bet ter place to house the homeless ones and the municipal authorities decided to relieve the congestion af the depot hy having open house al the city prison. No beds nor breakfast are provided for the guests. however.

 4 little more than quarter of an hour after Dale left Jshn Moreland he entered by the gateless gateway at the cabin Of the Hecks It was di- lapidated place and it stood not far from the river By sat in the front doorway he was Iazily cutting . new midday sun mark in the place Of the warn old one. Behind him sat his motheg who was busily knitting q gray yarn stocking.
 The moonshlner looked up and start rd quickly 10 his feet.
 Hi. thar. Bill old boy r he greeted cordially. My gosh, but ye've come at the right time. shore We're a-goin' to have young squirrels fo' dlnne., and E'ilea hamshank with string beans and eawnbread made with the yeller e hen aigs. Live whilst ye do live, says l. Come right in, Bill, old boy"
 -La. Ia, ia i" cried Granny Heck. booking over the brass rims of her speetacies. How glad am to see ye. afr Bill Come right in and tell us the news"
 Bill Dale crossed the threshold and accepted a creaking chair. His eyes took in at a sweeping glance the home made dining table with its cover of red oilcloth, the broken cast-iron stove, the strings of dried peppers hanging on shes log walls, the broken stillworm lying sn the corner.
 @The LIttlefords," said Dale, have declared war"
 ~Sakes r laughed the old woman. sNe knowed that last night when we heered them ten shots"
 And all the Moreland rifles are missing" Dale watched the effect of ais words.
 -Whatl" the Hecks cried in one voice.
 Their surprise seemed genuine. Dale pressed the subject further and learned only that If they knew any thing concerning the disappearance of the rifles they were not going to tell. Then he started homeward by way cf the pool above the blown-down syc- amcre.
 There was chance that Ben Little sord's daughter would be there fishing, Dale told himself. and 1t was barely possible that she could throw some light on the mystery of the rifles.
 He crossed the river by means of the prostrate tree. Babe was there; she sat on the stone on which she had been sitting the morning before; her back WAS to him, and her bare feet were in the water to her ankles. Dale went up close, stopped and gathered handful of violets and dropped them ever her shoulder and into her lap.
 Babe looked around and smiled.
 What luck. Miss LlttlefordT"
 -NothIn'. l don't much want to keteh anything" she said slowly, a spirit of sadness in her musical voice. I'll jest come off down here to be whar it's quiet. You ought to hear the noise at pap and the rest of 'em is s-makinr
 Dale narrowed his eyes. Are they q. making noise7 And what aboutTr

PULLED ONE ON BILL POSTERS
After Donating Space Free to Relig
 ion, Called on to Pay for Paper.

For some months past there have appeared on the bill boards of Mena huge posters containing religious texts and advising reader to attend church. Many who saw the advertis- ing sheets wondered who was paying the bill. and those who inquired of the officers of the bill posting company were advised the space was donated free and that the posters came from some concern in Columbia, s. C., that evidently wanted to help the go-to- church movement. Imagine the amazement of the bill posting officers this week when they were sent statement for the posters, and advised to hurry up the payment of s16.07 be- fore January g. The officers natural ly feel that since they have donated the space it is asking too much to ex- pect them to pay for the posters be- sides. The bill came from concern which calls itself the Religious Ad- vertising Association.

VENUS INHABITED
SCIENTIST SAYS

washington, May 25.-Venus is
possibly inhabited by human beings
and communication with planetary
neighbors by wireless may be posi-
ble, altho the cost would be i'm
mense," in the opinion of c. G. Abb
bot, assistant secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution, who discusses va
rious scientific phases of the "habita-
bility of other worlds" in the annual
report of the institution just made
public.
Mr.. Abbot says Venus reflects light
as if it were surrounded with
clouds and so probably sit contains
plenty of moisture"
Its temperature is about the same
as that of the earth" he added, land
all other conditions are apparently
comparable with the existence of in
telligent life"
Many popular writers have claim
ed great things for Mars as an abode
OF life," Mr.. Abbot says, but / can
not accept this view" All observers
are agreed, he adds, "As to the exist
ience of markings and shadings of
color on Mars, but to suppose that
we see there the engineering works of
intelligent beings is merely fanciful."
Commenting on suggestions that
1--WE are already receiving wireless
signals from intelligent beings out
side of the earth, which may in turn
be interpretable," Mr.. Abbot declares
that the best information seems to
be that the wireless indications re-
ferred to are merly disturbances in
troduced by solar or terrestrial causes
as yet imperfectly understood and
not the work of intelligent beings
trying to communicate with us

Q q STO a
WHY-AND HOW EU-
ROPE LEAVES HOME

There were three young men from
the American Consulate sitting be-
hind a long counter in big room at
North European port Of embarka-
tion for America. Before them pass
ed a constant stream of emigrants
from Poland, from Czecho-Slovakia,
from Lithuapia, from Roumania, and
from various other countries of Cen
-tral Europe. The stream oozed in at
a double door at the end of the room
wound slowly past three young men,
and slowly trickled out of another
uoubl edoor far behind them. 1t had
flowed steadily through the room
from nine o'clock in the morning I'M
iii noon, when IL had been temporari-
Nv damned TO allow the three young
men TO get something to eat and from
early afternoon until two hours af-
Ter nightfall.
The same thing was happening at
the same time, says the writer OF
new book called why Europe Leaves

troit Wherever he may be, an Am
erican Has office gets in touch with
him and asks bruskly why he hasn't
answered the request of Jacob Gold
berg for three hundred dollars. Sam
uel Goldberg's address may have
changed. II that has happened, the
Has organization in America sends
out special messengers, locates his
new address and tells him to hurry up
and answer Jacob Goldberg's cable.
II he is still reluctant, Has works on
his sympathies by telling him of the
sufferings which Jacob Goldberg is
undergoing. Almost invariably the
money is sent; Of course. through
Has. Doctor Schluger, head Of the
Warsaw Has, told me that during
December 1920, HAS paid out half a
million American dollars to emf
grants.
All the detail work in connection
with securing passports from the
Polish Government for Jews is done
by Has. 1t takes the applications
and the necessary documents from
its clients, punches them, presents
them to the proper Polish authorities
and all that the clients need to do is
TO come around on the proper day
and collect them.
To all intents and purposes. the
Hebrew immigration Aid Society
might as well be issuing Polish vises.
An attempt was actually made
by the Society to persuade the
Department of State of the United
States to allow American vises to be
issued by Has officials in Europe
without interference by American
consuls, so that Jews would not be
put to the annoyance of going all
the way to an American consulate and
of standing in line to get an Ameri-
can wise.
The HAS organization is one of the
smoothest and most capable travel
agencies that ever operated. If its
operations should continue to devel-
op in the future with the same ov-
erwhelming success that characteriz-
ed them during the year 1920, and II
the United States doesn't produce less
talk and more action as regards i'm
migration, a majority of the Jewish
population of Europe will be trans
ferred to America in one of the most
stupendous Cooks tours ever known.
The organization is so strong. so
efficient, and so energetic that no
other people can compete with the
Jews in the matter of emigration to
America.
