CROCK WARREN IS CLEARED. Bill Baum and Ben Price Held to Grand Jury in Hatfield Bank Case

Following hearing Saturday af- ternoon before Justice c. L. Clement, Crock Warren, well known stockman, was cleared of connection with the at tempted robbery of the Hatfield bank. The principal evidence against War ren was that rife had been found west of Hatfield, near the place where the suspicious characters were seen shortly before the attempted bank robbery. Warren claimed the rife as his, claiming that he had lost the weapon from his saddle. None of the witnesses could identify Warren as one of the three men seen and Ben Price, one of the alleged robbers, took the stand and declared Warren was unknown to him. Bill Baum and Ben Price, the two men charged with the attempted robbery, both waived examination and were bound over to the grand jury. Both men were Identified as residents of Heavener. Price, the younger of the two, first gave his name as Bennett, but Satur- day admitted that name was as- sumed- He was taken to Poteau to answer minor charge against b:n1, but Baum was locked up in the Polk county iail.

MORE ROAD MONEY
 FOR POLK COUNTY
C. A. Plymale. Supervisor of Arkan- sas National Forest, Has Cash and Authority for Three Important
 Projects-Stsrt by Summer.

Charles A. Plymale, supervisor of the Arkansas National Forest, who came to Mena to offer his best efforts in securing the Wester nAssembly, has, in addition, turned loose a piece of news that is mighty interesting to a lot of Polk county folks. This is that funds now are available for three Polk county projects, and that work on some of them will be begun by early summer.
 These plans, outlined by Supervisor Piymale, were laid before the district officers from Washington, D. C., at a recent conference. and were fully ap- proved.
 The first project, to be handled n continuation with the county judge, is the making of n good road from Acorn to the ranger station in Eagle Gap, this work to be done by and under the direction of the forest forces.
 The second starts at the ranger station at Shady, and extends five miles toward Mena, virtually connect lnK WtLN the fidlu EOdA near bdtiA5' This project will cut the distance from Shady to Mena by between three and four miles and will be handled by the forces of the National Forest, being wholly within the forest lands,
 The third piece of news is that the money now is available for the com pletion of the road thru Foran Gap connecting with the Albert Pike High way in Scott County. This is an ex- pensive piece of road building and the job will be let by contract by the Fed eral officers.
 Supervisor Plymale did fine ser vice for Mena in presenting the atti. tude of the National Forest toward the proposed Western Assembly. Witl Ranger Payne he left for Eaglcton where he will spend few days on off cial business, returning to Mena nex' week.
 One mile of the trail to the Peak ha. now been completed, and the work vii be pushed as fast as possible. Th' doubling of the fire guard force in al effort to prevent fires and apprehent and who may start them, is somewha dol wing the road and trail work d ths time.

TWO ESSENTIALS
The Prevention of Fly Breeding

The Prevention of Fly Breeding.
 Flies spend the winter in out-of- the-way places, in cellars, barns, and attics and come out on the warm days of early spring, when, after feeding, they lay eggs. The great majority (probably as many as 95 per cent) of house flies are matched in stable ma nure, altho open privies, garbage collections, and other refuse or filth may provide breeding places for a considerable number.
 There are many ways to get rid of | flies; they may be caught in traps, poisoned, or caught on fly papers, but the best and easiest way is to destroy their breeding places. If the stables are thoroly cleaned and the manure removed to the land before the f1y- breeding season, and the stables are then cleaned at least once every 10 days during the spring and summer, there will be very few fiies;--in this way a country home can practically manure on the land before the am- monia evaporates from it more valu- able as fertilizing agent. In addi- tion to keeping the stables clean, filth must not be allowed to accumulate in any place near the house.
 A Supply of Safe Drinking Water. | Filth usually gets into a farm well from the top. If the casing is not solid and does not extend above the ground, surface water with any filth it may contain will go directly into the we'll without having chance of being purified by passing thru the soil. And, unless spring is curbed, surface water will wash into it and | pollute it with any filth which may have been deposited upon the hill ! above.
 The ordinary we'll top is seldom water-tight. Filth left by the feet of persons coming for water and by do- | nestle fowls and animals is washed down by the rain or by spilled water Also, the bucket used in open wells is
 handled by many different persons and
 this is another way by which the water may be polluted.
 To insure safe water, the casing of the we'll should extend at least foot above the surface of the ground and be banked with clay in such a way as to cause surface water to drain away from the well. The we'll top should be of sound lumber and made water tight. Still better, pump should be used with the we'll top cemented. If q bucket must be used, however, there should be a shelf to set it on when it is not iH use. And the well box should have hinged cover which should be kept closed except when water is being drawn.
 | If spring is the source of the family's water, it should have a ce- mented brick or tight wood curb around the side next to the hill and should be well ditched so that it can not be contaminated with surface water.

DeQueen Newspaper Man Here.

L. A. Pearre, editor of the De Queen Bee, accompanied by his niece, Miss Pearl Taylor, came up to Mena Saturday afternoon, going Sunday morning to Golden Acres, the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter McWil- liam. near Acorn. One purpose of the visit was to see the milk goats bred by Mr. McWilliam. Mr. Pearre, like most newspaper men, sticks mighty close to his job, and has not been in Mena before in fifteen years. He was very complimentary in his remarks about Mena, the scenery, the park, postoffice, station, etc, and naturally took much interest in the plant of The Star. And he certainly made it clear that he hoped Mena would get the Assembly.

Keeping Well
 In March

That good farm paper, The Pro- gressive Farmer, among other things pays heed at times to the matter of physical health of the farmers, treat ing the subject from the basis of Southern conditions and needs. B. F. washburn, Nj. D., supplies the follow ing, which The Star is happy to re- produce:
 In the Southern United States, sanitary precautions taken during the month of March will do much to ward off typhoid, diarrhea, and the fiIth-borne diseases of hot weather. 1t is the time to most effectively destroy the breeding places of flies; and we can realize the importance of doing this when We consider that more than one death out of every eight, and a much larger percentage of sickness, in the South, is caused by pollution of the soil with human bowel material. And the fly is one of the most im- portant factors in the spread of this excreta and the disease germs it may contain. Along with fly control in the prevention of the bowel diseases is the provision of safe supply of drinking water, a screened kitchen and dining room, and a sanitary rrivv

Jack Lofts is not dead, or if he is he doesn't know it. Mena friends were much concerned over the report that circulated here regarding his de- mise. and Thursday Hunter Fleming used the long distance phone and reached Frank Lofts at Stuart, Ok. Frank is brother of Jack, and upon being told of the supposed death, re- piled that his brother was still able to walk about the streets and was very much alive the day before. It is thought the report started thru con- fusion of names. Jacks son, Jack, Jr., was reported seriously i'll, but like his father was still alive Thursday.

COACH FREEMAN HAS A STRONG TRAM IN PROSPECT
Material for High School Baseball Nine Is Promising This Season
 Ditto" Morrow Elected Captain.

Ditto" Morrow Elected Captain. When Coach Freeman called for candidates for the high school baseball team, over thirty men reported. Ex- perienced material and men that have already proven they were worth some thing in the lineups of the sport of all sports. To the baseball fans of Mena we promise some real games with the strongest teams in this part of the country.
 On the first official call for baseball, Ditto" Morrow was elected captain of the 1922 squad and Ditto" is a player that promises to fill the posi- tion to which he has been elected. Then we have the good, faithful Wood, Townsend, Laeefeld and Goss, the men who carried the "pigskina to vic- tory for Mena, out working hard for a coveted place. Roy Swiger is a twirler that should bring home the bacon for the Nj. II. s. Oliver Norris, discovering he could yet receive in- struction in the city, is out and ex- poets to keep his record up. Don May, Charlie Littleton, Ted Hogan are out and can be counted on. Our old pal. Ed Watkins, is showing some class and Homer Cole is a man that will tackle anything. Hal Dean is throwing a ton of rocks day and should make a good addition to the pitching staff.
 The coach has so much good mater ial out that probable line up is in- possible to be made at this time.
 The Mena high school is ready to play any team in Arkansas and is going to make strong effort to win the state championship. We still have q few open dates on our sched- uie and will negotiate with any team in Arkansas, and will play either hero or away. Write or wire Coach Free. man Games have already been sched uled with De Queen. Ashdown, Var Buren and Shreveport.
 The Mena high school is an institu ton that is succeeding altho greatl, handicapped and thru our athletes We are going to advertise our institu ton and our city. Get behind our hlgl school. boys. and Mena and her schooll will come 10 the front.

SUNSHINE SPECIAL.
Fine Organization Has Been Perfect ed at Dallas for Mutual Help.

On February 20 the Dallas Valley school taught by Mrs. o. M. Earnest, received a highly appreciated call by our County and Home Demonstrators, C. H. Alspaugh and Mrs. Mary Aus tin.
 The subject of sweet potato grow ing, and how to handle them, the com modious dry house located at Mena being so close at hand; and the pos sibIe enhancement of prices by being clubbed together as growers of the same was ably presented for the con- sideration of all present.
 The contemplating growers were urged to depend on self and not to lean too much on father or mother but to fight the weeds to a finish.
 The berry growing porject was next briefly handled. Mrs. Austin then gave to the school a very advantage ous lecture in regard to cooking, can ning, sewing and poultry raising. She seemed to think we would be more able to protect ourselves against cheap prices by being organized and by adhering to her good advice. Feb ruary % was selected as the day to organize.
 The Organization.
 The 22nd having arrived the or ganization is now in existence with the honorable Lee Benedict as pres ident; Miss Eula Nichols, vice presi- dent; Miss Thelma Ford as treasurer; Miss Mary Hunter as reporter. Pro- gram committed, May Hawkins, Doie;i Burris, Gladys Gray and Mary Hun ter; social committed, Lee Benedict, Thelma Ford, Pearl Martin and Coyle Ford. The name most befitting this smiling body is Sunshine Special snd it's motto is "Spizerinctum."
 As it is too early to raise potatoes CT berries. the club not being of the asit still" kind, determined to raise something. They met Friday night, March 3, at Mrs O. Nj. Earness's for che purpose of making some of the most luscious candy that has been manufactured, the same to be sold on Hena's streets the following Satur- day, proceeds to assist in financing the club.
